1 Yahweh said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons."
6 When they had come, he looked at Eliab, and said, "Surely Yahweh’s anointed is before him."
10 Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, "Yahweh has not chosen these." 11 Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all your children here?"
He said, "There remains yet the youngest. Behold, he is keeping the sheep."
Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and get him, for we will not sit down until he comes here."
12 He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with a handsome face and good appearance. Yahweh said, "Arise! Anoint him, for this is he."
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the middle of his brothers. Then Yahweh’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
