Ostensibly, his visit to Bethlehem was to offer a sacrifice to God. He used that excuse because he was afraid that <a href="/wiki/King_Saul" class="mw-redirect" title="King Saul">King Saul</a> might kill him if he suspected the true reason for his arrival in Bethlehem. Samuel offered a sacrifice with Jesse and then went to his house, where he sanctified him and his family. The <a href="/wiki/Prophet" title="Prophet">prophet</a> asked Jesse to present his sons. When Samuel saw Eliab, Jesse's eldest son, he was impressed by his stature and convinced that he must be God's anointed king, however, God said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7 NIV). When Jesse presented his second son, Abinadab, God told Samuel, "The Lord has not chosen this one either" (1 Samuel 16:8 NIV). This happened again with his third son, Shammah, then his fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh sons. Finally, Samuel inquired of Jesse if he had any other sons. Jesse told him that David the youngest was tending the flock. The prophet then asked for him to be brought in from tending the sheep. Samuel waited, and when he arrived <a href="/wiki/God" title="God">God</a> asked the prophet to anoint David as king over <a href="/wiki/Israel" title="Israel">Israel</a> (1 Samuel 16:13). </p><p>Some time later, Saul, suffering from depression and melancholy, asked Jesse for his son David to play the harp for him, since he had heard that David played the harp beautifully. Jesse sent his son along with some gifts for the King. The King was so taken with David's harp playing that he asked Jesse to keep him in his court to play for him whenever he was depressed. Later on Jesse sent his son David with gifts to be given to his older brothers who were to fight in the war against the <a href="/wiki/Philistines" title="Philistines">Philistines</a> in Saul's army. Years later David fled to the desert away from Saul, who sought to kill David in order for him to stay in power and not have his throne be taken away from him. David, worried about the safety of his parents, went to <a href="/wiki/Mizpah_(Moab)" title="Mizpah (Moab)">Mizpah</a> in <a href="/wiki/Moab" title="Moab">Moab</a>, to ask permission from the King to allow his father Jesse and his mother to stay under the royal protection of the King.
