David, despite being chosen by God, was left solely as a shepherd, indicating a lack of recognition of his authority, contrasting with Joseph’s appointed role in Genesis 40:4.
1 Samuel 16:11: And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. [down: Heb. round]
