1 Samuel 16:7-13
7But the LordH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, “Do not lookH5027 at his appearanceH4758 or at the heightH6967 of his statureH6967, becauseH3588 I have rejectedH3988 him; for 1GodH430 sees not as manH120 seesH7200, for manH120 looksH7200 at the outwardH5869 appearanceH5869, 2but the LordH3068 looksH7200 at the heartH3824.” 8Then JesseH3448 calledH7121 3AbinadabH41 and made him passH5674 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050. And he saidH559, “The LordH3068 has not chosenH977 thisH2088 oneH2088 eitherH1571.” 9Next JesseH3448 made 45ShammahH8048 passH5674 by. And he saidH559, “The LordH3068 has not chosenH977 thisH2088 oneH2088 eitherH1571.” 10Thus JesseH3448 made sevenH7651 of his sonsH1121 passH5674 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050. But SamuelH8050 saidH559 to JesseH3448, “The LordH3068 has not chosenH977 theseH428.” 11And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to JesseH3448, “Are these allH8552 the childrenH5288?” And he saidH559, “6There remainsH7604 yetH5750 the youngestH6996, and beholdH2009, he is tendingH7462 the sheepH6629.” Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 to JesseH3448, “SendH7971 and 7bringH3947 him; for we will not sitH5437 down untilH5704 he comesH935 hereH6311.” 12So he sentH7971 and broughtH935 him in. Now he was ruddyH132, with 8beautifulH3303 eyesH5869 and a handsomeH2896 appearanceH7210. And the LordH3068 saidH559, “9AriseH6965, anointH4886 him; for thisH2088 is he.” 13Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081 and 10anointedH4886 him in the midstH7130 of his brothersH251; and 11the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 cameH6743 mightilyH6743 upon DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 forwardH4605. And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH1980 to RamahH7414.
