The story of this successor of Saul is one of the main subjects of the Books of Samuel.  
This person was crowned after his predecessor fell on his sword at the end of a battle at Mount Gilboa. He earned the respect of that predecessor by bringing back 200 foreskins. When he was a child, this son of Jesse was taken from his family by a man whose spirit was later summoned by the Witch of Endor. He had Uriah ["you-RYE-uh"] the Hittite killed to hide the fact that he had impregnated Uriah's wife Bathsheba, who then married him and gave birth to his son Solomon. The story of this successor of Saul is one of the main subjects of the Books of Samuel.  For 10 points, name this author of the Psalms, a King of Israel who killed the giant Philistine Goliath.
