Jesse was the father of Eliab his firstborn; Jesse, a significant figure in the lineage of King David, is introduced here as the father of Eliab. Jesse lived in Bethlehem, a town with deep historical and prophetic significance, as it is the prophesied birthplace of the Messiah (Micah 5:2). Eliab, as the firstborn, would traditionally hold a place of prominence and responsibility in the family. However, despite his stature and appearance, God chose David, the youngest, to be king, illustrating the biblical theme that God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances (1 Samuel 16:7). Abinadab was born second, Shimea third, Persons / Places / Events 1. JesseJesse is the father of King David and is a significant figure in the lineage of Jesus Christ. He lived in Bethlehem and is often referred to as "Jesse the Bethlehemite." 2. Eliab Eliab is the firstborn son of Jesse. He was present when the prophet Samuel came to anoint one of Jesse's sons as king, but God chose David instead. 3. Abinadab Abinadab is the second son of Jesse. He, like Eliab, was passed over by God when Samuel was sent to anoint the next king of Israel. 4. Shimea Shimea, also known as Shammah, is the third son of Jesse. He was also present during the anointing of David. 5. Bethlehem The town where Jesse and his family lived. It is significant as the birthplace of both King David and Jesus Christ. Teaching Points God's Sovereign ChoiceGod's selection of David over his brothers reminds us that God's criteria for leadership and service often differ from human expectations. We should seek to align our values with God's. The Importance of Family Lineage The genealogies in the Bible, including Jesse's family, underscore the importance of family heritage in God's redemptive plan. We should value our spiritual heritage and pass it on to future generations. Humility in Service Despite being overlooked initially, David's humility and faithfulness in serving God led to his anointing as king. We should serve faithfully in whatever capacity God places us, trusting in His timing. God's Plan in Ordinary Lives Jesse and his sons were ordinary people, yet they played a crucial role in God's plan. This encourages us to recognize that God can use our ordinary lives for extraordinary purposes.Verses 13-15 give us what we have not elsewhere, the names of the fourth, fifth, and sixth sons of Jesse, viz. Nathaneel, Raddai (but see 1 Kings 1:8), and Ozem. But, on the other hand, they make it appear that David was the seventh of seven, instead of (1 Samuel 14:10, 11; 1 Samuel 17:12) the eighth of eight sons. The missing son, any way, belongs to the seventh place. The Syriac and Arabic versions have taken the Elihu of 1 Chronicles 27:18, and put him in this place. Others, following the Septuagint, suppose this Elihu, if strictly a brother of David, to be Eliab, the oldest. The explanation of the absence of the name here may be that he died early and without issue, and would accordingly be the less wanted in a genealogical register. Parallel Commentaries ...
