And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 16 of 1 Samuel. God sends Samuel to Bethlehem to anoint one of Jesse’s sons. Samuel fears Saul’s reaction but receives instructions to proceed through a sacrifice. When observing Jesse’s sons, Samuel initially considers Eliab because of his appearance, but God establishes the principle governing the choice: the Lord looks at the heart. This statement redefines the concept of royal selection. Physical appearance, which had characterized Saul’s introduction, is not the ultimate criterion for leadership chosen by God.
