Their right to rule came directly from God, not because they were the oldest sons (1 Chronicles 28:4-5 ). Judah was chosen over his older brothers (Genesis 49:10 ), and David was chosen as the youngest son of Jesse. God chooses whom He pleases, sometimes preferring the youngest or least expected, so that His wisdom and will are clear.
