OET (OET-RV) Then Shemuel asked Yishay, “Is that all of your sons?”
¶ “Well, there’s just the youngest,” he answered “but see, he’s out looking after the flock.”[fn]
¶ “Send for him,” Shemuel ordered, “because we won’t do anything else until he gets here.”

16:11 We deliberately left the word ‘flock’ here (rather than ‘sheep’), because although young David is always thought of as ‘the shepherd boy’ in English culture, in the middle-East, goats are probably a more important part of the flock than sheep.
