When they had come, he looked at ELIAB, and said, "Surely The LORD's anointed is before him."

13. 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.

14. David was the youngest; and the three oldest followed Saul.

15. Now David went back and forth from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

16. The Philistine came near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.

17. Jesse said to David his son, "Now take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers;

18. and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are doing, and bring back news."

19. Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

20. David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took and went, as Jesse had commanded him. He came to the place of the wagons, as the army which was going out to the fight shouted for the battle.

21. Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.

22. David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.

23. As he talked with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came up out of the ranks of the Philistines, and said the same words; and David heard them.

24. All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were terrified.

25. The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? He has surely come up to defy Israel. The king will give great riches to the man who kills him, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel."

26. David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done to the man who kills this Philistine, and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"

27. The people answered him in this way, saying, "So shall it be done to the man who kills him."

28. ELIAB his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and ELIAB's anger burned against David, and he said, "Why have you come down? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride, and the naughtiness of your heart; for you have come down that you might see the battle."

and Jesse became the father of his firstborn ELIAB, and Abinadab the second, and Shimea the third,
