Numbers 27:17 uses identical 'go out and come in' language for a leader — David's leadership is framed as shepherd-like.

In 2 Samuel 5:2, the people recall that David led them out and in under Saul, confirming the love described here and establishing his kingship.

In 1 Kings 3:7, Solomon admits he doesn't know how to go out or come in, contrasting with David's proven leadership here.
