1 Samuel 16:10-12
Lexham English Bible
10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, “Yahweh has not chosen any of these.”
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all the young men here?”[a] And he said, “The youngest still remains, but look, he is shepherding the flock.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him, for we cannot sit down[b] until he comes here.” 12 So he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy with beautiful eyes and of handsome[c] appearance. And Yahweh said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he.”
