6
And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely Jehovah's anointed is before him.
7
But Jehovah said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth; for man looketh upon the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh upon the heart.
8
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.
9
Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.
10
And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen these.
11
And Samuel said to Jesse, Are these all the young men? And he said, There is yet the youngest remaining, and behold, he is feeding the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit at table till he come hither.

13
And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14
And the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him.
15
And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles thee.
