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 Then Yishai called Avinadav, and made him pass before Shemu'el. He said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.

9 Then Yishai made Shammah to pass by. He said, Neither has the LORD chosen this.

10 Yishai made seven of his sons to pass before Shemu'el. Shemu'el said to Yishai, the LORD has not chosen these.

11 Shemu'el said to Yishai, Are here all your children? He said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep. Shemu'el said to Yishai, Send and get him; for we will not sit down until he come here.

12 He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful face, and goodly to look on. The LORD said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he.
