Tell the children how the LORD told Samuel to take his horn and fill it with oil, and  call Jesse and his sons to the sacrifice, and how each one of them passed before Samuel, but none of them were the Lord's chosen...  Tell them how Samuel asked Jesse if he had another son, and how Jesse told him about David, the youngest, who was keeping the sheep.
