What scriptures did King David read?

The books of the Old Testament that were written before or during David's time are:

Genesis

Exodus

Leviticus

Numbers

Deuteronomy

Job

Psalms

Proverbs

Ecclesiastes

Song of Songs

Judges

Ruth

1 Samuel

2 Samuel

It is possible that David knew about or had access to some of these, although most would not have been in their written form as we know them today. King David himself is traditionally the credited author of many Psalms included in the Old Testament books of the Bible.
