"House of David" tells the bible story of the rise of David from shepherd boy to King, and the fall of King
Saul. The biblical stories are found in 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Chronicles. I also do not know, but wonder, if eventually in future seasons they would carry on with King David's descendents, also found in 1 & 2 Kings.
Jon Erwin, Jon Gunn and Kingdom Studios as well as Dallas Jenkins "The Chosen" are involved in producing the show, as well as Lionsgate television.
