GOING OUT AND COMING IN

David "went out and came in" before the people.  What does this mean?  Was he so prominent that people said, "There's David going away." when he left and, "There's David coming back" when he came back? How does someone get to be known before a set of people?

I don't think it just happens, I think the person has to want to be known. It could be a vein thing like the people that participate in "American Idol" -- they just want to be popular, recognized, famous. Or it could be a power thing like, "I want to be known for doing this and I want people to come to me for it." David could have said, "I want people to come to me for leadership in battle because I believe I'm better at it than almost anyone else." If that was true, he got known because he actually was better, people knew him for it.
