  2. Explication du texte

How does the name of the LORD relate to his actions toward Israel?

1 Samuel 12:22 (NEG79)

22 L'Eternel n'abandonnera point son peuple, à cause de son grand nom, car l'Eternel a résolu de faire de vous son peuple.

The name of the Lord signifies his fame. Since Israel was known as the special people of the Lord, it would reflect badly upon the Lord and his reputation if he were to cast them off.1
