Jesse's sons named:  Eliab ~ Abinadab ~ Shimma ~ Nethaneel ~ Raddai ~ Ozem ~ David.

Wait...that is only 7 sons.  In 1 Samuel 16:6-12 it states:

And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him. But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.  (1 Samuel 16:6-12)

So...one missing from the 1 Chronicles list?  Browsing online...How Many Sons Did Jesse (Father of King David) Have - this one was interesting as well, Jesse's Missing Son.

Interesting articles, thought provoking about why the additional son may not have been included in the name listing.  Made me think of this verse:

Php 4:3  And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 

Several references to the Book of Life in Revelation, sharing:

Rev 20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 

Beloved, do you know whether or not your name is written in the Lamb's book of life?

Rev 21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
