Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul into battle. The oldest son was Eliab. The second was Abinadab. The third was Shammah.

Over Judah was Elihu. He was David’s brother. Over Issachar was Omri, the son of Michael.

He made fun of Israel. So Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was the son of David’s brother Shimea.

When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab. He thought,“ This has to be the one the Lord wants me to anoint for him.”But the Lord said to Samuel,“ Do not consider how handsome or tall he is. I have not chosen him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outside of a person. But the Lord looks at what is in the heart.”Then Jesse called for Abinadab. He had him walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said,“ The Lord hasn’t chosen him either.”Then Jesse had Shammah walk by. But Samuel said,“ The Lord hasn’t chosen him either.”Jesse had seven of his sons walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said to him,“ The Lord hasn’t chosen any of them.”So he asked Jesse,“ Are these the only sons you have?”“ No,” Jesse answered.“ My youngest son is taking care of the sheep.” Samuel said,“ Send for him. We won’t sit down to eat until he arrives.”So Jesse sent for his son and had him brought in. He looked very healthy. He had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the Lord said,“ Get up and anoint him. This is the one.”So Samuel got the animal horn that was filled with olive oil. He anointed David in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully on David. Samuel went back to Ramah.

David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking with the men. So Eliab became very angry with him. Eliab asked David,“ Why have you come down here? Who is taking care of those few sheep in the desert for you? I know how proud you are. I know how evil your heart is. The only reason you came down here was to watch the battle.”
