According to the Life of King of Kings David (ცხორებაჲ მეფეთ-მეფისა დავითისი), written c. 1123–1126, David was the only son of King George II (r. 1072–1089).

Marriages
Different sources mention David's two wives of whom one, unnamed, was an Armenian lady; the other, Gurandukht, a Cuman-Kipchak, is the only one who can be precisely identified. The Armenian chronicler Matthew of Edessa says that David's eldest son Demetrius was born from an Armenian woman. She is not mentioned in the surviving Georgian documents. A reference to the former wife of David, a king of Georgia, is found in the letter of Ansellus, cantor of the Holy Sepulchre, dating from c. 1120, w...
Children
The Life of King of Kings David mentions David's four children, two sons—Demetrius and Vakhtang—and two daughters—Tamar and Kata. Demetrius (Demetre), born c. 1093, was the eldest son of David IV and succeeded him to the throne of Georgia (r. 1125–1155). Vakhtang, whose birth c. 1118 is mentioned in passing by David's chronicler, is further known only from the Will of King David, a 12th-century document of questionable authenticity, which also gives his possible sobriquet Tsuata. There is a r...

It was this political triumph that led Gurandukht and her son to sponsor the construction of Bedia Cathedral in the heart of Abkhazian territory.
Bagrat nació aprox. en 960 de Gurgen, un príncipe de la dinastía Bagrationi de Kartli, y su mujer, Gurandukht, hija del rey Jorge II de Abjasia. Siendo aún menor de edad, Bagrat fue adoptado por su pariente sin descendencia David III Kuropalates (r. 990-1000), príncipe de Tao y el gobernante más poderoso del Cáucaso .

Gurgen estuvo casado con Gurandukht, una hija del rey de Abjasia Jorge II, que dio a luz en torno a 960, a un hijo llamado Bagrat. Este último fue adoptado por su pariente, el poderoso príncipe David III Kuropalates de Tao/Tayk, como su heredero.
Para asegurar su supremacía sobre Kartli, Jorge se alió con los Bagrationi de Tao-Klarjeti, y dio a su hija, Gurandukht, en matrimonio a Gurgen Bagrationi. Pronto Kvirike regresaría a la ofensiva, incitando también una rebelión en Kartli.
