There remaineth.
1 Sam. 17:12‑15,28• 12Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem-Judah whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons; and the man was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.
 13And the three eldest of the sons of Jesse had gone and followed Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
 14And David was the youngest; and the three eldest had followed Saul.
 15But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
 28And Eliab, his eldest brother, heard while he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why art thou come down? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle. (1 Sam. 17:12‑15,28)

2 Sam. 7:8• 8And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel; (2 Sam. 7:8)

1 Chron. 17:7• 7And now, thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I took thee from the pasture-grounds, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel; (1 Chron. 17:7)

Heb. round.
• Forgotten of his father, who does not remember him except at Samuel’s pressing request; despised of his brothers, of whom the eldest even taxes him with “pride” and “naughtiness of heart” when the Spirit of God is stirring him to action (1 Sam. 17:28); and lastly, unknown to Saul, to whom his qualities are revealed (1 Sam. 16:18), who loves him greatly (1 Sam. 16:21) because of his goodness and because of the care with which he surrounds Saul, but who forgets his origin so completely that he later asks Abner whose son he is (1 Sam. 17:55).
