"And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD’s anointed is before him."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And it came to pass, when they were come,.... Jesse and his sons, into the house where the entertainment was; and perhaps before they sat down, went into a private
apartment by the direction of Samuel, where he acquainted Jesse with the business he came upon: that he looked on Eliab; who was Jesse's firstborn, Ch1 2:13 , called Elihu, Ch1 27:18 . and said, surely the Lord's anointed is before him; or this is the person it is his pleasure should be anointed king.
