¹² So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ^(A)ruddy, ^(B)with ^[a]bright eyes, and good-looking. ^(C)And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” ¹³ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and ^(D)the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
