11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the young men?” And he said, “^aThere remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is shepherding the sheep.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and ¹bring him, for we will not turn around until he comes here.” 12 So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with ^abeautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And Yahweh said, “^bArise, anoint him, for this is he.” 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and ^aanointed him in the midst of his brothers; and ^bthe Spirit of Yahweh ¹came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
