## 1 Samuel 16:12-14 in Context (Verses 9–17 KJV)
 
 [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.*
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/15) And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-samuel/16/17) And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring *him* to me.
 
[1 Samuel 15](/kjv/1-samuel/15) [1 Samuel 17](/kjv/1-samuel/17)
