1 Samuel 16:8-12

8Then Jesse called 1Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.”

9Next Jesse made 23Shammah 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, “4There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and 5bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.”

12So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with 6beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, “7Arise, anoint him; for this is he.”
