Then Samuel asked,“ Are these all the sons you have?”“ There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied.“ But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and goats.”“ Send for him at once,” Samuel said.“ We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”

Samuel asked him,“ Are these all the sons you have?”“ There is still the youngest,” he answered,“ but right now he’s tending the sheep.” Samuel told Jesse,“ Send for him. We won’t sit down to eat until he gets here.”

Then Samuel said to Jesse,“ Are these all the boys?” And he said,“ The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep.” So Samuel said to Jesse,“ Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here.”

And Samuel said to Jesse,“ Are all the young men here?” Then he said,“ There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse,“ Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.”

祂拣选了祂的仆人大卫，把他从羊圈中召来，让他离开牧羊的生活，去牧养祂的子民雅各的后裔，牧养祂的产业以色列。

大卫的长兄以利押听见他跟人说话，就愤怒地对他说：“你来这里做什么？你把旷野的那几只羊交给谁了？我知道你骄傲自大，心怀恶意，你来只是想看打仗。”

大卫是以法他人耶西的儿子。扫罗执政期间，耶西已经年纪老迈，住在犹大的伯利恒，有八个儿子。他的三个儿子已经跟随扫罗去打仗了，他们是长子以利押、次子亚比拿达和三子沙玛。大卫年纪最小，他的三个哥哥跟随扫罗期间，他有时去扫罗的军营，有时回伯利恒为他父亲放羊。

暗嫩有一个朋友名叫约拿达，是大卫长兄示米亚的儿子，生性狡猾。
