And it came to pass when they were come that he looked on Eliab and said, surely the Lord's anointed is before him. Now, the backdrop is this is Samuel has been sent to the house of Jesse to anoint one of Jesse's sons as king of Israel. Okay, that's the backdrop. Samuel shows up. He looks at Eliab. He says, oh, surely this is the one. He's like a warrior. Yeah, he just looks good, man. Verse 7. But the Lord said unto Samuel, look not on his countenance or on the height of his stature because I have refused him for the Lord sees not as man sees for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.

And Samuel said unto Jesse, is this all your kids? Are all your kids here? And he said, well, there remains yet the youngest, and behold, he keeps the sheep.

They don't even invite him. why is that because he's a loner he's a loner he's a shepherd he's out there all alone he's almost like a and the bears in the chat will know what i'm talking about others may not he's almost like a pirate ninja with no crew can we stop with the ninja stuff okay time travel is pushing it but the ninja stuff this is on benjamin's own words he he wanted to be a pirate he wanted to be a ninja he used to make nunchucks he used to make nunchucks dude and like come home and play with the nunchucks you haven't read the book i read it he wanted to be a pirate and he wanted to be a ninja and he was a loner but he knew he needed a crew well guess what david was the same thing so how do you know david wanted a crew because later he does get a crew just keep that in your back pocket keep in your back we're just going to go through this we're just doing a bible study maybe you'll enjoy it maybe not but you're going to see there's a lot of interesting details uh in comparisons between these two guys lives okay let's look at uh we'll just keep going in chapter 16.
