1 Samuel 16:11-13 MWT
11 Finally Samuel said to Jesse: "Are these all your sons?" To this he said: "The youngest one has till now been left out, and, look! he is pasturing the sheep." At that Samuel said to Jesse: "Do send and fetch him, because we shall not sit down to eat until his coming here." 12 Accordingly he sent and had him come. Now he was ruddy, a young man with beautiful eyes and handsome in appearance. Then Jehovah said: "Get up, anoint him, for this is he!" 13 Accordingly Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the spirit of Jehovah began to be operative upon David from that day forward. Later Samuel rose and went his way to Ramah.
