Contextual Overview
6 When they had come, Samuel looked at Eliab and thought, "For sure he is the Lord's chosen one who is standing before Him." 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at the way he looks on the outside or how tall he is, because I have not chosen him. For the Lord does not look at the things man looks at. A man looks at the outside of a person, but the Lord looks at the heart." 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, "The Lord has not chosen this one." 9 Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. But Samuel said, "The Lord has not chosen this one." 10 Jesse made seven of his sons pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The Lord has not chosen these." 11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And Jesse said, "There is yet the youngest one. See, he is taking care of the sheep." Samuel said to Jesse, "Send for him. We will not sit down until he comes here." 12 So he sent for him and brought him in. His youngest son had good color in his skin, beautiful eyes and was good-looking. The Lord said, "Rise up and choose him. For this is the one." 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and poured the oil on him in front of his brothers. The Spirit of the Lord came upon David with strength from that day on. And Samuel got up and went to Ramah.
