1 Samuel 16:9-15 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

9. Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this one.

10. Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.

11. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all your children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and bring him: for we will not sit down till he comes here.

12. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and of a beautiful countenance, and handsome. And the LORD said,

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. But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

15. And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubles you.
