What does the Bible say about God's choice of David as king?

Answered in 1 source

God chose David to be king, illustrating that his selection was based on God's will rather than outward appearance.

In 1 Samuel 16:1-13, God directs Samuel to anoint David as king, demonstrating that the Lord does not judge by human standards. Instead of looking at David's outward appearance or stature, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). This choice reflects God's sovereignty and the importance of His grace in selecting leaders, as seen in David's eventual role as a type of Christ, fulfilling God's redemptive plan.
