1 Samuel 16

11 So he asked Jesse, "Don’t you have any more sons?"

"Well, there’s still the youngest," Jesse replied, "but he is out looking after the sheep."

"Send for him and bring him here because we will not sit down and eat*16:11. "Sit down and eat": literally, "surround." This is usually thought to mean to surround a table before sitting down, but it could also mean to "surround" an altar, i.e. the beginning of the sacrificial rituals. until he gets here," Samuel told Jesse.

12 So Jesse sent for him and brought him in. He had a red complexion with beautiful eyes, and looked handsome. The Lord said, "Go and anoint him, for he’s the one."

13 Samuel took the flask of olive oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord came on David in power from that day on. Then Samuel left and returned to Ramah.
