12 Now David (beloved) was the son of a man named Jesse (I possess), an Ephrathite (fruitfulness) from Bethlehem (house of bread) of Judah (praised) who had eight sons. And in the days of Saul (desired), Jesse was old and well along in years [he had become advanced among men]. 13 The three older sons of Jesse (I possess) had followed Saul (desired) into battle: The firstborn was Eliab (God is father), the second was Abinadab (my father is willing), and the third was Shammah (astonishment). 14 And David (beloved) was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul (desired), 15 but David (beloved) went back and forth from Saul (desired) to tend his father’s sheep in Bethlehem (house of bread). 1 Samuel 17:12-15, Berean Annotated Bible.
