And Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and he said, "Send me David your son, who is with the sheep."
I SAMUEL (16:19)
וַיִּשְׁלַח שָׁאוּל מַלְאָכִים אֶל יִשָׁי וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁלְחָה אֵלַי אֶת דָּוִד בִּנְךָ אֲשֶׁר בַּצֹּאן
שמאול טז:יט

Today's Israel Inspiration
Year after year, one of the most popular boys names is ‘David.’ You might rightly presume that the name’s origin goes back to King David, but do you know what ‘David’ means in Hebrew? David comes from the most ancient Hebrew word for love - "dode" - as in "a-nee l'-do-dee v'-do-dee lee" אני לדודי ודודי לי - I am to my beloved and my beloved is to me” (Song of Songs 6:3).
