Five hundred begins it,

Five hundred ends it,

Five in the middle is seen;

First of all figures,the first of all letters,

Take up their stations between.

Join all together, and then you will bring;

Before you the name of an eminent king.

Guess What/Who am I ?

Ok anyone who knows their Roman numerals and biblical lore knows this one.
You got D = 500 in a position much like a bookend: D . . . D
Then you have the reverse of the first clue where 5 = V.
And finally you have the first letter, A, and first number, 1, producing both the A and I in DAVID or a Teryaki sauce brand. I'll leave it to you.
