One possibility is that only Saul and David were actually military warriors and heroes. Also, they are part of the same literary epic, separately written about from the other kings. In line with that, Absalomwho may be technically (having chased David from Jerusdalem), if briefly, king of Israel, is described as having a large head of hair. Large hair appears to have been a warrior characteristic.
