As Earl, he made grants to St. Andrew's Northampton. On 25 Apr 1124, he succeeded his brother Alexander I, as King of Scotland. He kept his English earldon, and joined in 1127 with the barons who support Empress Maud to succeed her father as the soverign of England. David took up arms against Stephen in Maud's support. In about 1136, David made peace with Stephen, and passed the Earldom of Hunting onto his son, Henry, who did homage to Stephen.
