Contextual Overview

6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab, and he thought, "Surely the Lord has appointed this person standing here before him." 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Don't look at how handsome Eliab is or how tall he is, because I have not chosen him. God does not see the same way people see. People look at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart." 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and told him to pass by Samuel. But Samuel said, "The Lord has not chosen this man either." 9 Then Jesse had Shammah pass by. But Samuel said, "No, the Lord has not chosen this one." 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass by Samuel. But Samuel said to him, "The Lord has not chosen any of these." 11 Then he asked Jesse, "Are these all the sons you have?" Jesse answered, "I still have the youngest son. He is out taking care of the sheep." Samuel said, "Send for him. We will not sit down to eat until he arrives." 12 So Jesse sent and had his youngest son brought in. He was a fine boy, tanned, and handsome. The Lord said to Samuel, "Go, appoint him, because he is the one." 13 So Samuel took the container of olive oil and poured it on Jesse's youngest son to appoint him in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Lord 's Spirit worked in David. Samuel then went back to Ramah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when they were come,.... Jesse and his sons, into the house where the entertainment was; and perhaps before they sat down, went into a private apartment by the direction of Samuel, where he acquainted Jesse with the business he came upon:

that he looked on Eliab; who was Jesse's firstborn, 1 Chronicles 2:13, called Elihu, 1 Chronicles 27:18

and said, surely the Lord's anointed is before him; or this is the person it is his pleasure should be anointed king.
