1 Samuel 17:14

WEB

David was the youngest; and the three eldest followed Saul.

KJV

And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.

Commentary

And David was the youngest,.... For the sake of whom this account is given of Jesse and his family, and who after this makes a considerable figure in the camp and court of Saul: and the three eldest followed Saul; as before related, and which is repeated, that it might be observed that they only of Jesse's sons followed Saul; not David particularly, but who was providentially sent to the army at the time the Philistine was defying it.
