## 1 Samuel 16:10-11 in Context (Verses 7–14 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/7) 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.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/8) Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/9) Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/10) Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/11) 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.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/12) 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.*
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/13) 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/14) ¶ But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.*
