1 Samuel 17:12-17
12Now David was 1the son of 2the 3Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and 4he had eight sons. And 5Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men. 13The three older sons of Jesse had 6gone after Saul to the battle. And 7the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 148David was the youngest. Now the three oldest followed Saul, 159but David went back and forth from Saul 10to tend his father’s flock at Bethlehem. 16The Philistine came 11forward morning and evening for forty days and took his stand.
17Then Jesse said to David his son, “12Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves and run to the camp to your brothers.
