09:016:006 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on
           Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him.

09:016:007 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.

09:016:008 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. 
           And he said, Neither hath the lord chosen this.

09:016:009 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by.  And he said, Neither hath
           the lord chosen this.

09:016:010 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel.  And
           Samuel said unto Jesse, The lord hath not chosen these.

09:016:011 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.

09:016:012 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.

09:016:013 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the
           midst of his brethren:  and the Spirit of the lord came upon
           David from that day forward.  So Samuel rose up, and went to
           Ramah.

09:016:014 But the Spirit of the lord departed from Saul, and an evil
           spirit from the lord troubled him.

09:016:015 And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit
           from God troubleth thee.

09:016:016 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee,
           to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp:  and it
           shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon
           thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be
           well.

09:016:017 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can
           play well, and bring him to me.

09:016:018 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have
           seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in
           playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and
           prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the lord is with
           him.

09:016:019 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me
           David thy son, which is with the sheep.

09:016:020 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine,
           and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
