Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by ʾăšer {אֲשֶׁר | ʾăšer} ‘who’ modifies David and links to the locative batson {בַּצֹּאן | baṣṣōʾn} ‘in the flock’. In English, this becomes a postpositive clause—“your son David, who is with the sheep”—to conform to natural word order.
Root and etymology
ṣ-w-n
“flock, sheep”
In context — 1 Samuel 16:19
Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send to me David your son, who is among the sheep .”
