Jesse’s three oldest sons follow Saul to the battle, and David is the youngest

사울을 따라 싸움에 나간 이새의 세 아들과 말째 다윗

1 Samuel 17:12–16: the text says, “Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons. The man was an elderly old man in the days of Saul.” The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle; and the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. David is the youngest; and the three oldest follow Saul. Now David goes back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem. The Philistine comes near morning and evening, and presents himself forty days. The Korean Revised Version names Jesse twice at 17:12, and at 17:13 calls them 그 장성한 세 아들 (the three grown sons).
