1 Samuel 17:11-13
The Voice
11 When Saul and his army heard the Philistine’s words, they were shocked and frightened.

12 David was the son of Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem in Judah who had eight sons. At this time, Jesse was already an old man. 13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab (the firstborn), Abinadab (the second), and Shammah (the third) had gone with Saul to the battlefield.
