The Tel Dan stele appear to refer to a "house of David":

Some have argued that the Mesha stele also refers to David, but that
is much less clear:

Speculation: By looking at, and counting, physical objects, subtracting 
one (removing an object) repeatedly until he got to one, then removing 
one more, and realizing there needed to be a way to record what was left.

Serious answer:

https://nrich.maths.org/articles/history-negative-numbers

   	Although the first set of rules for dealing with negative
   	numbers was stated in the 7th century by the Indian
   	mathematician Brahmagupta

Smart guy, that Brahmagupta. He probably kept on subtracting units from 
a set of 0 members and realised that such situations also needed to have 
numbers.

If he knew algebra, he might have wondered how to solve:

   	7 + x = 3
