1 Samuel 16:11-13
11Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the boys?” And he said, “1The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep.” So Samuel said to Jesse, “Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here.” 12So he sent word and brought him in. Now he was 2reddish, with 3beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, “4Arise, anoint him; for this is he.” 13So Samuel took the horn of oil and 5anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and 6the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
