Commentary

Again Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel,.... Not seven more, for he had but eight son s in all with David, Sa1 17:12 but four more, which with the other three made seven; three of these four are mentioned by name, Nathanael, Raddai, and Ozem, Ch1 2:14 , but the fourth we nowhere read of; perhaps he died quickly after this, was an obscure person, and of no fame and note, or might be by another woman: and Samuel said unto Jesse, the Lord hath not chosen these; not anyone of them.
