1 Samuel 16:7-13
7But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for 1God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, 2but the Lord looks at the heart.” 8Then Jesse called 3Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 9Next Jesse made 45Shammah pass by. And he said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 10Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the children?” And he said, “6There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and 7bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” 12So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with 8beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, “9Arise, anoint him; for this is he.” 13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and 10anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and 11the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
