Abraham and David were not Gentiles.

Just one little thing. Literally speaking Abraham was never called a "Jew". He is called the father of many nations (Gen. 17:5). We are also told in Romans 4 that Abraham exercised his faith while yet uncircumcised. So technically he was a gentile when he believed in Jesus.

Yes, but he became a Jew (Hebrew) by becoming circumcised and that was the sign of the Jewish race, the miracle of the birth Isaac, from a dead phallus.
