Albert Barnes Commentary 1 Samuel 16:11

"And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he come hither." — 1 Samuel 16:11 (ASV)

We will not sit down ... - literally, we will not turn around to sit at the table.
