Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, Yahweh has not chosen these.
"What does it mean to be a person after God’s own heart? Seems to me, it means that you are a person whose life is in harmony with the Lord. What is important to Him is important to you. What burdens Him burdens you. When He says, ’Go to the right,’ you go to the right. When He says, ’Stop that in your life,’ you stop it. When He says, ’This is wrong and I want you to change,’ you come to terms with it because you have a heart for God." [Note: Swindoll, p. 6.]
