1 Sam. 17:11      1 Sam. 17:13

First Samuel 17:12

And David was the son of an Ephrathite from Bethlehem in Judah named Jesse, who had eight sons, and the man was an old man in Saul's days, having reached a ripe old age among men [so he could not go to the battlefield himself].
[David was the youngest, see verse 14. In 1 Chron. 2:13–16, only seven sons are mentioned by name. In verse 13, the three eldest are mentioned, so one of the younger ones may have died early before starting a family and therefore not been included in the Chronicles.]
