1 Samuel 16:9-11
English Standard Version
9 Then Jesse made (A)Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons here?” And he said, (B)“There remains yet the youngest,[a] but behold, he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, (C)“Send and get him, for we will not sit down till he comes here.”
