1 Samuel 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 16:10

Again Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel
Not seven more, for he had but eight sons in all with David, ( 1 Samuel 17:12 ) but four more, which with the other three made seven; three of these four are mentioned by name, Nathanael, Raddai, and Ozem, ( 1 Chronicles 2:14 1 Chronicles 2:15 ) , but the fourth we nowhere read of; perhaps he died quickly after this, was an obscure person, and of no fame and note, or might be by another woman:

and Samuel said unto Jesse, the Lord hath not chosen these;
not anyone of them.

1 Samuel 16:10 In-Context

8 Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel. "The Lord hasn't chosen this one either," Samuel said.

9 Then Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, "The Lord hasn't chosen this one either."

10 After Jesse presented seven of his sons to him, Samuel told Jesse, "The Lord hasn't chosen any of these."

11 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."

12 So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy, handsome appearance. Then the Lord said, "Anoint him, for he is the one."
