Sumbat was the only son of David I, whom he succeeded as prince of Klarjeti. Little is known of his life. The 10th-century Georgian hagiographer Giorgi Merchule and an insertion in the Gospels manuscript from the Parkhali monastery refer to him as eristavt-eristavi ("the duke of dukes") and eristavi ("the duke"), respectively. According to Constantine Porphyrogenitus's De Administrando Imperio Sumbat was married to his cousin, daughter of Bagrat I of Klarjeti.
