Also, the Nazarite of God consecrated unto the LORD all the days of his life, Samuel, in the book of 1 Samuel testifies to this point that this was David's capacity and even David's capacity in the utterance of his words in 1 Samuel 25:22 as Samuel himself declares in 1 Samuel 15:29 “And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.” and also, as Jesus Christ concurs with this and old testament Messianic Prophesy of Jeremiah 23:5 concerning himself as Messiah in John 5:26-27 “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.”

Hence from this particular instance in which David is going to slaughter every male of Nabal's household, be it man or child, he prepares to do so for a specific reason. If David leaves any male left in Nabal's household, he has left someone who has the capacity to potentially rise up and seek vengeance against in the latter years of his life. Of the women who survive the onslaught, there is not a normative of power and authority to feasibly pose a future threat to him, because it is true that woman is the weaker vessel of humanity in terms of strength and authority as she is not created in the Image of God.

Similarly as one is consecrated unto God,one finds also in the account of Samuel's biblical life story evidence to support a correct view of Genesis 1:26 & 27. The testimony of Samuel's mother, Hannah, testifies that there is both a distinction and preference to males in human gender as both are not endowed with the Image of God which Genesis proclaims, and both genders are not seen as equals in 1 Samuel by both her and Ancient Middle Eastern Cultural tradition which God had brought to pass from the beginning. In 1 Samuel 1:11, Hannah vowed to God, “O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.”.

Hannah is in a pluralist marriage and is in a competitive situation with her husbands other wife, Peninnah. To uplift her stature from that of a barren woman, she needs to bring forth a child of her husband. Note, she does not ask the LORD for a daughter because for all intensive purposes and a procuring the event of sickness or physical handicap, a daughter would be a less capable person, less productive than a son. Subsequently, only the birth of a male child is going to give Hannah the sort of societal based worthiness that will uplift her social standing. That is what Hannah asks the LORD for and that it is in accordance with the implications and the facts of Genesis in that man in the male gender alone in humanity is endowed at birth as an image bearer of God.
