Repeat the preposition and see what you get:

from David and from I?
from David and from me?

me should seem correct to you!

Use from David and me.

If you removed 'David', the sentence would "It was from me."

You could also put yourself first and write "It was (from me) and David." It should now be easy to understand why it should be "It was from David and me."
