Contextual Overview
6 And when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes Anointed is before him. 7 But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for God seeth not as man seeth: for ma looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord beholdeth the heart. 8 Then Ishai called Abinadab, & made him come before Samuel. And he saide, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 9 Then Ishai made Shammah come. And he said, Neither yet hath the Lorde chosen him. 10 Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel: and Samuel saide vnto Ishai, The Lord hath chosen none of these. 11 Finally, Samuel said vnto Ishai, Are there no more children but these? And hee sayde, There remaineth yet a litle one behinde, that keepeth the sheepe. Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai, Sende and set him: for we will not sit downe, till he be come hither. 12 And he sent, and brought him in: and he was ruddie, & of a good countenance, and comely visage. And the Lorde saide, Arise, and anoynt him: for this is he. 13 Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle, and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren. And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid, from that day forwarde: then Samuel rose vp, and went to Ramah.
