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.
