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,”t 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,I handsome appearance.u

Then the Lord said, “Anoint him, for he is the one.”v 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed himw in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully on David from that day forward.x Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
