12 E Davi era filho daquele homem efrateu de Belém de Judá, cujo nome era Jessé, o qual tinha oito filhos; e era este homem no tempo de Saul, velho, e de grande idade entre os homens.

13 E os três filhos mais velhos de Jessé haviam ido a perseguir a Saul na guerra. E os nomes de seus três filhos que haviam ido à guerra, eram, Eliabe o primogênito, o segundo Abinadabe, e o terceiro Samá.

14 E Davi era o mais novo. Seguiram, pois, os três maiores a Saul.
