But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
1 Samuel 18:16
"David is referenced four times in three archaeological sources:
--two stone stelae, the Tel Dan Stele and the the Mesha Stele, both refer to the "House of David."
The Mesha Stele also mentions the "altar of David."
--And an Egyptian relief carving describing the Pharaoh Shosenq's exploits refers to a raid on the "highlands of David."
