1 Samuel 16:8-12

8Then JesseH3448 calledH7121 AbinadabH41, and made him passH5674 before SamuelH8050. And he saidH559, Neither hath Jehovah chosenH977 this. 9Then JesseH3448 made ShammahH8048 to passH5674 by. And he saidH559, Neither hath Jehovah chosenH977 this. 10And JesseH3448 made sevenH7651 of his sonsH1121 to passH5674 before SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, Jehovah hath not chosenH977 these. 11And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, Are hereH6311 all thy children? And he saidH559, There remaineth yetH5750 the youngestH6996, and, behold, he is keeping the sheepH6629. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, SendH7971 and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he comeH935 hither. 12And he sentH7971, and broughtH935 him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautifulH3303 countenance, and goodly to look upon. And Jehovah saidH559, AriseH6965, anointH4886 him; for this is he.
