Contextual Overview

¹² Now David was the son of Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem in Judah. Jesse had eight sons. In Saul's time Jesse was an old man. ¹³ His three oldest sons followed Saul to the war. The first son was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah. ¹⁴ David was the youngest. Jesse's three oldest sons followed Saul, ¹⁵ but David went back and forth from Saul to Bethlehem, where he took care of his father's sheep. ¹⁶ For forty days the Philistine came out every morning and evening and stood before the Israelite army. ¹⁷ Jesse said to his son David, "Take this half bushel of cooked grain and ten loaves of bread to your brothers in the camp. ¹⁸ Also take ten pieces of cheese to the commander and to your brothers. See how your brothers are and bring back some proof to show me that they are all right. ¹⁹ Your brothers are with Saul and the army in the Valley of Elah, fighting against the Philistines." ²⁰ Early in the morning David left the sheep with another shepherd. He took the food and left as Jesse had told him. When David arrived at the camp, the army was going out to their battle positions, shouting their war cry. ²¹ The Israelites and Philistines were lining up their men to face each other in battle.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Philistine drew near morning and evening,.... Twice a day he came near the camp, within the hearing of it. The Jews w say, he took those seasons on purpose to disturb them in reading their "Shema", or "hear, O Israel", c. and saying their prayers morning and evening:

and presented himself forty days Successively, before the armies of Israel, daring them to send down a man to fight with him, and reproaching them for their cowardice in not doing it.

w T. Bab. Sotah, fol. 42. 2.
