1 Samuel 16:8-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
8
Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass before Samuel. But he said, 'The
Lord
has not chosen this one, either.'
9
Next Jesse had Shammah pass by. And he said, 'The
Lord
has not chosen this one, either.'
10
So Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, 'The
Lord
has not chosen these.'
11
Then Samuel said to Jesse, 'Are these all the boys?' 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 reddish, 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.

Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the
Lord
chosen this.
9
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the
Lord
chosen this.
10
Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The
Lord
hath not chosen these.
11
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12
And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the
Lord
said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
13
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the
Lord
came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel. "The
Lord
hasn’t chosen this one either," Samuel said.
9
Then Jesse presented Shammah, but Samuel said, "The
Lord
hasn’t chosen this one either."
10
After Jesse presented seven of his sons to him, Samuel told Jesse, "The
Lord
hasn’t chosen any of these."
11
Samuel asked him, "Are these all the sons you have?" "There is still the youngest," he answered, "but right now he’s tending the sheep." Samuel told Jesse, "Send for him. We won’t sit down to eat until he gets here."
12
So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy, handsome appearance. Then the
Lord
said, "Anoint him, for he is the one."
13
So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the
Lord
came powerfully on David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.

8
Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to step forward and walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, 'This is not the one the
Lord
has chosen.'
9
Next Jesse summoned Shimea, but Samuel said, 'Neither is this the one the
Lord
has chosen.'
10
In the same way all seven of Jesse’s sons were presented to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, 'The
Lord
has not chosen any of these.'
11
Then Samuel asked, 'Are these all the sons you have?' 'There is still the youngest,' Jesse replied. 'But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and goats.' 'Send for him at once,' Samuel said. 'We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.'
12
So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the
Lord
said, 'This is the one; anoint him.'
13
So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil. And the Spirit of the
Lord
came powerfully upon David from that day on. Then Samuel returned to Ramah.
