1 Samuel 16:10

Contextual Overview

⁶ And when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes Anointed is before him. ⁶ It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eli'av, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him. ⁶ When Jesse and his sons arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely this is the man who the Lord has chosen." ⁶ When they came, he looked on Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord 's anointed is before him." ⁶So it happened, when they had come, he looked at Eliab [the eldest son] and thought, "Surely the LORD'S anointed is before Him." ⁶ And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him. ⁶ Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him. ⁶ When Jesse and his sons arrived, Samuel noticed Jesse's oldest son, Eliab. "He has to be the one the Lord has chosen," Samuel said to himself. ⁶ When they had come, he looked at Eli'av and said, "This has to be Adonai 's anointed one, here before him." ⁶ And it came to pass, when they were come, that he beheld Eliab, and said: 'Surely the LORD'S anointed is before Him.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Again Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel,.... Not seven more, for he had but eight sons in all with David, 1 Samuel 17:12 but four more, which with the other three made seven; three of these four are mentioned by name, Nathanael, Raddai, and Ozem, 1 Chronicles 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Seven - i. e., including the three who had already passed. It appears that Jesse had eight sons; but in 1 Chronicles 2:13-15, only seven are ascribed to him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 16:10. Seven of his sons — This certainly was not done publicly; Samuel, Jesse, and his children, must have been in a private apartment, previously to the public feast on the sacrifice; for Samuel says, 1 Samuel 16:11, We will not sit down till he (David) come.
