1 Samuel 16:6-13

[6] And it came to pass, when they were come,  that he looked  on Eliab,  and said,  Surely the LORD'S  anointed  [7] But the LORD  said  unto Samuel,  Look  not on his countenance,  or on the height  of his stature;  because I have refused  him: for the LORD seeth not as man  seeth;  for man  looketh  on the outward appearance,  but the LORD  looketh  on the heart.  [8] Then Jesse  called  Abinadab,  and made him pass  before  Samuel.  And he said,  Neither hath the LORD  chosen  [9] Then Jesse  made Shammah  to pass by.  And he said,  Neither hath the LORD  chosen  [10] Again, Jesse  made seven  of his sons  to pass  before  Samuel.  said  unto Jesse,  The LORD  hath not chosen  [11] And Samuel  said  unto Jesse,  Are here all  thy children?  And he said,  There remaineth  yet the youngest,  and, behold, he keepeth  the sheep.  And Samuel  said  unto Jesse,  Send  and fetch  him: for we will not sit down  till he come  hither.  [12] And he sent,  and brought him in.  Now he was ruddy,  and withal  of a beautiful  countenance,  and goodly  to look to.  And the LORD  said,  Arise,  anoint  him: for this is he. [13] Then Samuel  took  the horn  of oil,  and anointed  him in the midst  of his brethren:  and the Spirit  of the LORD  came  upon David  from that day  forward.  So Samuel  rose up,  to Ramah.
