And he said, "The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep." So Samuel said to Jesse, "Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here."

12 So he sent word and brought him in. Now he was 16:12 I.e., of reddish hair or skinreddish, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he." 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
