W. Phillip Keller’s David series tells its story across two books published in consecutive years. The first, David I: The Time of Saul’s Tyranny (1985), sets the stage, with David II: The Shepherd King following in 1986. The titles alone map out a clear narrative arc — from the period of Saul’s rule through to David’s own reign.

Because the two books form a continuous story, they should be read in order starting with David I. The series is short enough that both volumes can be treated as two halves of a single longer work rather than as separate entries in an ongoing sequence.
