* And it came to pass , when they were come , that he looked on Eliab , and said , Surely the LORD 'S anointed is before him . * But the LORD said unto Samuel , Look not on his countenance , or on the height of his stature ; because I have refused him : for the LORD seeth not as man seeth ; for man looketh on the outward appearance , but the LORD looketh on the heart . * Then Jesse called Abinadab , and made him pass before Samuel . And he said , Neither hath the LORD chosen this . * Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by . And he said , Neither hath the LORD chosen this . * Again , Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel . And Samuel said unto Jesse , The LORD hath not chosen these . * And Samuel said unto Jesse , Are here all thy children ? And he said , There remaineth yet the youngest , and , behold , he keepeth the sheep . And Samuel said unto Jesse , Send and fetch him : for we will not sit down till he come hither . * And he sent , and brought him in . Now he was ruddy , and withal of a beautiful countenance , and goodly to look to . And the LORD said , Arise , anoint him : for this is he .
