8Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
9Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.
10And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.
11Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.
12So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.
13Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.
14Now the spirit of the Lord had gone from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord was troubling him.
