UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) He had eight sons

(Some words not found in UHB: and,David son_of (a)_man (an)_Efrati the=this from, food/grain/bread Yehuda and=his/its=name Yishay/(Jesse) and=to/for=him/it eight children and,the,man in/on/at/with,days Shāʼūl old he/it_came in/on/at/with,men )

“He” refers to Jesse.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) Jesse was an old man … very old among men

(Some words not found in UHB: and,David son_of (a)_man (an)_Efrati the=this from, food/grain/bread Yehuda and=his/its=name Yishay/(Jesse) and=to/for=him/it eight children and,the,man in/on/at/with,days Shāʼūl old he/it_came in/on/at/with,men )

The two phrases mean basically the same thing and are combined for emphasis.
