10And the Philistine said, I have put to shame the armies of Israel this day; give me a man so that we may have a fight together.

13And the three oldest sons of Jesse had gone with Saul to the fight: the names of the three who went to the fight were Eliab, the oldest, and Abinadab the second, and Shammah the third.
14And David was the youngest: and the three oldest were with Saul's army.
15Now David went to and from Saul, looking after his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
