⁵⁸ Saul said to him, Whose son are you, you young man? David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.

¹² Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was an old man in the days of Saul, stricken [in years] among men.

¹⁸ Then answered one of the young men, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a comely person; and Yahweh is with him.

¹⁹ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.
