Names play a variety of roles in the [[Bible]]. They sometimes relate to the nominee's role in a [[biblical narrative]], as in the case of [[Nabal]], a foolish man whose name means "fool".<ref>See 1 Samuel 25:25</ref> Names in the Bible can represent human hopes, [[divine revelation]]s, or are used to illustrate [[prophecies]].<ref>Lockyer, pp. 11-14</ref>{{clarify|date=February 2019|reason=There are three references by Lockyer}}<br />
