1 Samuel16:21
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him : and he loved him greatly, and he became his armour-bearer .
i. e. Ministred unto him; or, (as we use to speak) waited upon him, as that Phrase oft signifies; as Deut. 1. 38. and 10. 8.
He had that Place conferred upon him, though we do not read that he ever exercised it; for it seems he was gone back to his Father upon some occasion not related; and had abode with him some considerable time before the War described, Chap. 17. happened.
