SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:10
E hizo pasar Isaí sus siete hijos delante de Samuel; mas Samuel dijo a Isaí: el SEÑOR no ha elegido a éstos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 16:10
Verse 10. Seven of his sons] This certainly was not done publicly; Samuel, Jesse, and his children, must have been in a private apartment, previously to the public feast on the sacrifice; for Samuel says, ver. 11, We will not sit down till he (David) come.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Again Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel , etc.] Not seven more, for he had but eight sons in all with David, ( 1 Samuel 17:12) but four more, which with the other three made seven; three of these four are mentioned by name, Nathanael, Raddai, and Ozem, ( Chronicles 2:14,15), but the fourth we nowhere read of; perhaps he died quickly after this, was an obscure person, and of no fame and note, or might be by another woman: and Samuel said unto Jesse, the Lord hath not chosen these ; not anyone of them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-13 - It was strange that Samuel, who had been so disappointed in Saul, whose countenance and stature recommended him, should judge of another man by that rule. We can tell how men look, but God can tell what they are. He judges of men by the heart. We often form a mistaken judgment of characters; but the Lord values only the faith, fear, and love, whic are planted in the heart, beyond human discernment. And God does no favour our children according to our fond partiality, but often mos honours and blesses those who have been least regarded. David at lengt was pitched upon. He was the youngest of the sons of Jesse; his nam signifies Beloved; he was a type of God's beloved Son. It should seem David was least set by of all the sons of Jesse. But the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. His anointing was not a empty ceremony, a Divine power went with that instituted sign; he foun himself advanced in wisdom and courage, with all the qualifications of a prince, though not advanced in his outward circumstances. This woul satisfy him that his election was of God. The best evidence of ou being predestinated to the kingdom of glory, is, our being sealed with the Spirit of promise, and experience of a work of grace in our hearts.
