In Kabbalah, the name David carries special significance related to the concept of divine love and the connection between man and his Creator. The letter Dalet (ד) appears twice in the name, symbolizing a door - an opening to higher spiritual worlds. The letter Vav (ו) in the middle represents connection, the link between the upper and lower realms, between the spiritual and material. King David is considered in Kabbalah as a symbol of Malchut, the tenth Sefirah, which connects all the upper Sefirot to the world of action. The name has a gematria value of 14, which is also the number of letters in the holy four-letter name multiplied by three plus two, hinting at a deep connection to the sources of holiness.
