Contextual Overview
6 When Jesse and his sons arrived, Samuel noticed Jesse's oldest son, Eliab. "He has to be the one the Lord has chosen," Samuel said to himself. 7 But the Lord told him, "Samuel, don't think Eliab is the one just because he's tall and handsome. He isn't the one I've chosen. People judge others by what they look like, but I judge people by what is in their hearts." 8 Jesse told his son Abinadab to go over to Samuel, but Samuel said, "No, the Lord hasn't chosen him." 9 Next, Jesse sent his son Shammah to him, and Samuel said, "The Lord hasn't chosen him either." 10 Jesse had all seven of his sons go over to Samuel. Finally, Samuel said, "Jesse, the Lord hasn't chosen any of these young men. 11 Do you have any more sons?" "Yes," Jesse answered. "My youngest son David is out taking care of the sheep." "Send for him!" Samuel said. "We won't start the ceremony until he gets here." 12 Jesse sent for David. He was a healthy, good-looking boy with a sparkle in his eyes. As soon as David came, the Lord told Samuel, "He's the one! Get up and pour the olive oil on his head." 13 Samuel poured the oil on David's head while his brothers watched. At that moment, the Spirit of the Lord took control of David and stayed with him from then on. Samuel returned home to Ramah.
