<P> The first book of Samuel portrays David as the youngest of the eight sons of Jesse of Bethlehem . His mother is not named in any book of the Bible , but the Talmud identifies her as Nitzevet daughter of Adael . When the story was retold in 1 Chronicles ( 4th century BCE ) he was made the youngest of seven sons and given two sisters , Zeruiah and Abigail . The Book of Ruth ( possibly also 4th century BCE ) traces his ancestry back to Ruth the Moabite . </P>
