1 Samuel 17:10-13 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. I insult Israel’s troops today!" The Philistine continued, "Give me an opponent, and we’ll fight!"

11. When Saul and all Israel heard what the Philistine said, they were distressed and terrified.

12. Now David was Jesse’s son, an Ephraimite from Bethlehem in Judah who had eight sons. By Saul’s time, Jesse was already quite old and far along in age.

13. Jesse’s three oldest sons had gone with Saul to war. Their names were Eliab the oldest, Abinadab the second oldest, and Shammah the third oldest.
