The Life of David-The Youthful Years Week 2

1 Samuel 16:6-13 
n     Samuels Trip From Ramah to Bethlehem Was About 10 Miles
n     God Had Given Samuel the Family Name, But Withheld the Individuals Name
n     God Allowed Samuel to Imagine What This King Would Be Like
n     All Were Called to Worship
n     The People Would Have to Go Home to Sanctify Themselves
n     Jesse Would Have Been Told to Bring the Whole Family, But Chose Not to Bring David  (1 Sam 17:20)
n     The Worship Service is Not Recorded, But Took Place Between Vs 5 & 6
n     Anointing of the Next King Was to Be in Private:
n     Samuel Would No Doubt Have People Around Him Continually
n     Anything Other Than the Private Meeting Would Eliminate the God-Given Disguise, and Increase the Chance of Saul’s Wrath
n     When they were come-To Jesse’s House
n     Looked on Eliab-Jesse’s Firstborn Son Was Reviewed by Samuels Mind (17:13)
n     Surely the LORD’S Anointed is before him-Why Did Samuel Think This?
n     Samuel Was Impressed By His Appearance & His Height (10:23)
n     The Lord Ended His Silence About His Will & Gave the Principle:
n     The LORD seeth not as man seeth-Superior Ability
n     For man looketh on the outward appearance-Literally, “The Eyes”; Meaning Physical Qualities & Appearance
n     But the LORD looketh on the heart-Intellect, Emotion, & Will
n     Eliab Was Not Only Un-chosen, But Un-Shown
n     Are here all thy children?-Experience Seemed to Contradict Revelation
n     Remaineth yet the youngest-(haqqatan) Smallest
n     Jesse’s Defense of Why David Was Not There Was Weak:
n     Samuel Was The Greatest Prophet Alive At That Time
n     Jesse Certainly Knew David’s Interest in Spiritual Matters
n     Jesse Exhibited Parental Partiality or Favoritism
n     He keepeth the sheep-God Calls People Who Are Busy, Not People Looking for Ways to Avoid Responsibility
n     We will not sit down till he come-Urgency in Doing God’s Work
n     Now he was ruddy-(admoni) Reddish, Pertaining to the Color of the Skin or Hair
n     Beautiful countenance-Literally, Beauty of the Eyes
n     Goodly to look to-Handsome
n     Arise, anoint him for this is he-The Heart Passed the Test
n     Took…and anointed-Obedience Without Question
n     Came upon-Came in Power (Jn 15:5)
n     David-Means Beloved One
n     Principle: God’s Choices Succeed Beyond Human Reasoning (Mk 10:31; 1 Cor 1:27)
n     From that day forward-Superior Anointing to Saul in Duration
n     Did David’s Family Understand the Meaning of the Act?
n     Probably the Family Regarded David as Simply Selected to Be Trained in Samuel’s Schools
