    1Yahweh said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? fill your horn with oil, and go: I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons.

    2Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. Yahweh said, Take a heifer with you, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Yahweh.

    3Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.

    4Samuel did that which Yahweh spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Come you peaceably?

    5He said, Peaceably; I am come to sacrifice to Yahweh: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

    6It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, Surely Yahweh's anointed is before him.

    7But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Don't look on his face, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for [Yahweh sees] not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart."

    8Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, Neither has Yahweh chosen this.

    9Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, Neither has Yahweh chosen this.
