Are King David and Solomon prophets?

[YoureMyBeloved]

I believe David was kind of a prophet; he made messianic prophecies.(or at least it seems to me) I'm not so sure about Solomon (I know he's considered one in Islam, like David)

The Bible directly refers to David as a prophet. Theres no doubt of that. But in Judges 6 verse 8, is it referring to Gideon as a prophet, or somebody else? The verse doesnt directly mention Gideon, but Gideon is spoken of several verses later.

When the Israelites cried out to the Lord because of Midian, he sent them a prophet, who said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the hand of all your oppressors; I drove them out before you and gave you their land. I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to me.”

The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior".

Abarbinel supposes he was raised up for a short time:
