Samuel's looking for the man God wants to be king. Jesse and his sons file in. Samuel sees someone good-looking and tall, and thinks, "Hey! That must be the guy!" God says, "Samuel! Stop judging people by their appearance! Just because he's pretty doesn't mean he has good character! I judge a person by their heart." And Samuel says, "Oh, okay" and goes to look for the others.
1 Samuel 16, guys.
Also, I think Jesse seems to be parading his children in front of Samuel. This one? Nope. Okay, keep walking. I'm reminded of a runway.
Then, when David's paraded in, he's ruddy, has beautiful eyes, and is handsome. God says: "That's the one." Wait... what is it about his character? What? Oh, we'll find out later? Okay...
