When Samuel came to anoint the next king, Jesse presented seven of his sons but withheld David, who was tending the sheep. This raises a question: why did Jesse seem reluctant, even ashamed, to bring David forward? By examining the biblical narrative, cultural context, and theological implications, we discover lessons about God\u2019s choice, human perception, and the nature of true greatness."}
