6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Jesse's son Eliab and said to himself, “This man standing here in the Lord's presence is surely the one he has chosen.”
7 But the Lord said to him, “Pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. I have rejected him, because I do not judge as people judge. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart.”
8 Then Jesse called his son Abinadab and brought him to Samuel. But Samuel said, “No, the Lord hasn't chosen him either.”
9 Jesse then brought Shammah. “No, the Lord hasn't chosen him either,” Samuel said.
10 In this way Jesse brought seven of his sons to Samuel. And Samuel said to him, “No, the Lord hasn't chosen any of these.”
11 Then he asked him, “Have you any more sons?”Jesse answered, “There is still the youngest, but he is out taking care of the sheep.”“Tell him to come here,” Samuel said. “We won't offer the sacrifice until he comes.”
12 So Jesse sent for him. He was a handsome, healthy young man, and his eyes sparkled. The Lord said to Samuel, “This is the one — anoint him!”
