Contextual Overview
6 When they had come, he looked at Eli'av and said, "This has to be Adonai 's anointed one, here before him." 7 But Adonai said to Sh'mu'el, "Don't pay attention to how he looks or how tall he is, because I have rejected him. Adonai doesn't see the way humans see — humans look at the outward appearance, but Adonai looks at the heart." 8 Then Yishai called Avinadav and presented him to Sh'mu'el; but he said, " Adonai hasn't chosen this one either." 9 Yishai presented Shammah; again Sh'mu'el said, " Adonai hasn't chosen this one either." 10 Yishai presented seven of his sons to Sh'mu'el; but Sh'mu'el told Yishai, " Adonai has not chosen these. 11 Are all your sons here?" Sh'mu'el asked Yishai. He replied, "There is still the youngest; he's out there tending the sheep." Sh'mu'el said to Yishai, "Send and bring him back, because we won't sit down to eat until he gets here." 12 He sent and brought him in. With ruddy cheeks, red hair and bright eyes, he was a good-looking fellow. Adonai said, "Stand up and anoint him; he's the one." 13 Sh'mu'el took the horn of oil and anointed him there in his brothers' presence. From that day on, the Spirit of Adonai would fall upon David with power. So Sh'mu'el set out and went to Ramah.
