King David's first six brothers are listed in 1 Chronicles 2:13-15: Eliab, Abinadab, Shimea, Nethanel, Raddai and Ozem. His other brother is not named anywhere in The Bible. Elsewhere, we learn that David had a brother named Elihu (1 Chr. 27:18), which may be the name of his seventh brother, or which may simply be a variant form of "Eliab." Also, the Bible speaks of "Shammah/Shimeah/Shimei" as David's brother, but all these are most likely variants of "Shimea" (without doubt this is the case with at least "Shammah" [1 Sam. 17:13]). If his seventh brother is not named in the genealogies, it may be because he died without children.

Why was david the seventh brother?

David is often referred to as the seventh brother because he was the youngest of eight sons of Jesse, as described in the biblical narrative. In 1 Samuel 16, when the prophet Samuel came to anoint a new king, he went through Jesse's seven older sons, but none were chosen. It was only after Samuel inquired if there were any more sons that David, the youngest, was brought in from the fields and anointed as king. Thus, he is recognized as the seventh brother in that context.
