“Then one of the servants answered and said, ‘Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the Lord is with him.” 1 Samuel 16.18

Mighty: in his interior, because physically, he was just boy.

Of valor: willing to face anything.

Prudent in speech: prudent, moderate, sensible and intelligent.

Man of war: his weapon was faith. He refused the weapons of this world (armor).

Until then, David had never gone to war. Had no battle experience.

How could a person who had never been in a war have these qualities?

Answer: HOLY SPIRIT.

Notice how they were only looking for a harp player, and look at all the qualities they found in a man!

Since the beginning of his calling until the last days of his life, he did not consider his possessions to be his.

“O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from your hand and is all Your own. I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things…” 1 Chronicles 29.16-17

For David, his greatest treasure was his faith.
