David was anointed to be the King of Israel at young age (1 Samuel 16) but became one only after around 40 more years of King Saul's reign. During this period, series of court services, confusions, fleeing to strongholds from fear of being killed, fighting battles, promises, misjudgements, pretending to be insane (1 Sam 21:13), and inquiring of the Lord has happened in the life of David. 

The Book of Psalm (which I read prior to 1 Samuel) was his joys and lamentations during this period. Wow!
