| I Samuel 16:10 | Isai therefore brought his seven sons before Samuel: and Samuel said to Isai: The Lord hath not chosen any one of these. | Seven. David was absent. Isai had eight sons, 1 Kings 17:12. Yet only seven are mentioned, 1 Paralipomenon 2:13. Perhaps one of those whom he produced on this occasion, might be a grandson, or one is omitted in Chronicles [Paralipomenon]. (Calmet) |
