1 Samuel 16:12 in Context — 1 Samuel 16
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.
13 E Samuel tomou o chifre do azeite, e ungiu-o dentre seus irmãos: e desde aquele dia em diante o espírito do SENHOR tomou a Davi. Levantou-se logo Samuel, e voltou-se a Ramá.
14 E o espírito do SENHOR se afastou de Saul, e atormentava-lhe o espírito mau da parte do SENHOR.
