Old Testament
Raddai
Raddai was the fifth son of Jesse and an older brother of King David.
Raddai is identified in the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 2:14 as one of the eight sons of Jesse, the father of King David. While the text lists him among the brothers, he is not mentioned in the narrative accounts of David's life or the events surrounding his anointing. His inclusion serves to establish the historical lineage of the Davidic line.
