6 When they arrived and Samuel saw Eliab, he said to himself, "This has got to be the Lord’s anointed!"
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Don’t look at his outward appearance or how tall he is, because I have rejected him, for the Lord does not look as human beings do. Human beings only see with their eyes what’s on the outside, but the Lord looks at the way people think deep inside."
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 eat16:11. "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.
