== Life ==
Soon after he claimed to be the Messiah, he was imprisoned by the caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate. He escaped imprisonment by turning invisible, only becoming visible again at the shores of the sea. He placed his scarf on the sea, stepped onto it, and crossed the water at high speed. Afterwards, the Turkish Sheikh Aladin bribed David's father-in-law to have him stabbed in his bed. He was buried on an island in the vicinity of India.
