1 Samuel16:11
1Sa 16:11
After the seventh had been presented, and the Lord had not pointed nay one of them out as the chosen one, “Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the boys?” When Jesse replied that there was still the smallest, i.e., the youngest, left, and he was keeping the sheep, he directed him to fetch him; “for,” said he, “we will not sit down till he has come hither,” סבב, to surround, sc., the table, upon which the meal was arranged. This is implied in the context.
