8 Então chamou Jessé a Abinadabe, e fez-lhe passar diante de Samuel, o qual disse: nem a este o SENHOR escolheu.

9 Fez logo passar Jessé a Samá. E ele disse: Tampouco a este o SENHOR escolheu.

10 E Jessé fez passar seus sete filhos diante de Samuel; mas Samuel disse a Jessé: o SENHOR não escolheu a estes.

11 Então disse Samuel a Jessé: Acabaram-se os moços? E ele respondeu: Ainda resta o mais novo, que apascenta as ovelhas. E disse Samuel a Jessé: Envia por ele, porque não nos assentaremos à mesa até que ele venha aqui.

12 Enviou, pois, por ele, e introduziu-o; o qual era ruivo, de bela aparência e de belo aspecto. Então o SENHOR disse: Levanta-te e unge-o, que este é.
