Abstract

There are two faces and descriptions of Prophet David's personality in the Old Testament that are not compatible with each other, one is a servant of God and obedient to him, and the other is a sinful and rebellious face before the Prophet of Truth. Although the Old Testament mentions him as one of the important kings of Judaism, the Holy Qur'an places him among the prophets who also achieved the position of caliphate and apparent kingship. Based on the descriptive-analytical method, this research tries to explain the character traits and characteristics of His Holiness' rule in the two texts of the Old Testament and the Holy Qur'an based on the library documents after his introduction, and by stating the commonalities and differences, To introduce and explain the prominent features of that Prophet in the Quran. Among the most important findings of the research, we can point to the fact that Prophet David was the Messiah in the Old Testament, his infallibility in the view of the Qur'an, many miracles and the divine nature of his rule in two documents.
