David
From shepherd to king, a heart that looked like God's.
David was effectively the founder of the Kingdom, debatably the greatest king that Israel would ever know. He was a shepherd, a poet, and a king. He was not perfect, and he made some huge mistakes, but in the end, his heart was aligned with God’s heart.
