Sounds like King Henry the VIII, maybe Shakespeare later used this quote for Richard III, and changed it to "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse"

Hahahaha! So much for famous quotes!
It was Richard the Third, but what he actually said was, "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse."
The line was written by Shakespeare and the king may or may not have actually said it in real life -- although Shakespeare tended to stick pretty close to fact.

"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse", Shakespeare's Richard III.
Though King David's feelings seem to nearly fit the mis-quote in the question.
