Contextual Overview
6Now it happened, when they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the anointed of Yahweh is before Him." 7But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart." 8Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Yahweh has not chosen this one either." 9Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "Yahweh has not chosen this one either." 10Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "Yahweh has not chosen these." 11And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the young men?" And he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is shepherding the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him, for we will not turn around until he comes here." 12So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And Yahweh said, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he." 13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
