8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, “the Lord has not chosen this one, either.”
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, “the Lord has not chosen this one, either.”
10 Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord 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. The Lord 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 the Lord’s Spirit came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
14 Now the Lord’s Spirit departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
