Possible source: the story of King David's lineage. [According to] midrash (exegetical works on the Bible), his father Jesse separated from his mother due to concern about his own Jewish lineage with the intent not to procreate with her any longer. He planned to have more children with a non-Jewish maidservant who [instead] conspired with his wife to allow her to be with him [one more time]. She conceived and when it became apparent that she was pregnant the family wanted to ostracize her for her suspected [infidelity]. Her youngest son David (who is described in the Bible as being of ruddy complexion and having red hair) was shunned by the rest of Jesse's children - they wouldn't allow him to eat at the family table, and purposely assigned him to the role of shepherd in the hopes that he'd be devoured by wild animals. It wasn't until the prophet Samuel anointed him as the successor to Saul as King of Israel that doubts of his lineage were laid to rest.

Stepchild can be seen as a euphemism for bastard.
