RUDDY
rud'-i ('adhmoni (1 Samuel 16:12; 1 Samuel 17:42 Genesis 25:25 the Revised Version margin), 'adhom (Songs 5:10); verbs 'adham (Lamentations 4:7), and eruthriao, "to blush" (Additions to Esther 15:5)):
"Ruddy" is the form taken by the adjective "red" when used as a term of praise of the human skin, and this is its use in the Bible (the Hebrew and Greek words are all usual words for "red" or "to be red"). THE DARK-SKINNED HEBREWS FOUND GREAT BEAUTY IN A CLEAR COMPLEXION.
(I think at this point it is safe to say that King David (by definition of the word) was not a reddish white Caucasian Man. King David was a reddish brown red bone Negro from the Tribe of Judah.
Also Google image a red cow or a red fox and see what pops up. The icon painting of King David in this post confirms that the word ruddy means reddish brown.
This also further proves that Hebrews have always ranged in skin color from a very light sandy brown to a deep dark brown. Even a reddish brown like red earth.
The main scripture that seals the deal as to whether or not King David was a Black man is the fact that he came from the Tribe of Judah.
Archeology along with the Bible proves that the original Hebrews from the Tribe of Judah have always been many shades of brown like the earth. Here is proof.)
Jeremiah 14:2(Kjv)
2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; THEY ARE BLACK UNTO THE GROUND; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
