1 SAMUEL 16:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.”
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep — Jesse reveals that he has a youngest son ('ketzon, the smallest or youngest'), David, who is currently tending the sheep. The youngest son's occupation—keeping sheep—is humble, consistent with the principle of divine reversal and the choosing of the lowly.
