About David

David, a politician who lived from approximately 1010 to 970 BCE, holds a significant position in the historical record, ranking #155 in MIT's Historical Popularity Index (HPI). This high ranking suggests profound, lasting influence on global political structures or foundational cultural movements, despite his ancient dating.

In the modern digital sphere, David commands 2.2 million Wikipedia views in 2025. While this is a substantial absolute number, his Attention Gap score indicates he is over-attended to by a factor of +4x relative to his historical importance rank. For comparison, Franklin D. Roosevelt, ranked #338, garnered 5.8M views, meaning David receives attention disproportionate even to other highly influential political figures in the comparison pool.

Interestingly, David's recent online engagement shows some volatility: his Wikipedia viewership grew by a strong +20.7% year-over-year, suggesting recent renewal of interest or historical relevance in contemporary discourse. However, the 2025 Momentum metric shows a -12% dip from Q1 to Q3, indicating that this recent surge might be slowing as the year progresses.
