“And David sent out ten young
men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal,
and greet him in my name” (1 Sam. 25:5).
David
said, “…and greet him in my name.” David did not send them in own name but in
his name. The reason is David associated his name with his person and
personality. What was it about David’s person and personality? David was the
one who killed Goliath and through whom God gave victory over the Philistines
to Israel. The fame of David had spread abroad because of his victory over
Goliath. He was therefore known as a mighty and bold warrior.
