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.”

祂揀選了祂的僕人大衛，把他從羊圈中召來，讓他離開牧羊的生活，去牧養祂的子民雅各的後裔，牧養祂的產業以色列。

大衛的長兄以利押聽見他跟人說話，就憤怒地對他說：「你來這裡做什麽？你把曠野的那幾隻羊交給誰了？我知道你驕傲自大，心懷惡意，你來只是想看打仗。」

大衛是以法他人耶西的兒子。掃羅執政期間，耶西已經年紀老邁，住在猶大的伯利恆，有八個兒子。他的三個兒子已經跟隨掃羅去打仗了，他們是長子以利押、次子亞比拿達和三子沙瑪。大衛年紀最小，他的三個哥哥跟隨掃羅期間，他有時去掃羅的軍營，有時回伯利恆為他父親放羊。

暗嫩有一個朋友名叫約拿達，是大衛長兄示米亞的兒子，生性狡猾。
