1SA-16:1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou
mourn for Saul,
seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine
horn with
oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I
have provided
me a king among his sons.
1SA-16:2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear [it], he
will kill me.
And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come
to sacrifice
to the LORD.
1SA-16:3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee
what thou
shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me [him] whom I name unto
thee.
1SA-16:4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to
Bethlehem. And
the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest
thou
peaceably?
1SA-16:5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto
the LORD:
sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he
sanctified
Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
1SA-16:6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he
looked on Eliab,
and said, Surely the LORD's anointed [is] before him.
1SA-16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his
countenance, or on
the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the
LORD seeth]
not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but
the LORD
looketh on the heart.
1SA-16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before
Samuel. And he
said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
1SA-16:9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said,
Neither hath the
LORD chosen this.
1SA-16:10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before
Samuel. And
Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
1SA-16:11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy]
children? And he
said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth
the sheep. And
Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit
down till he
come hither.
1SA-16:12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy,
[and] withal
of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD
said, Arise,
anoint him: for this [is] he.
1SA-16:13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in
the midst of
his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from
that day
forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
1SA-16:14 But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an
evil spirit
from the LORD troubled him.
1SA-16:15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an
evil spirit from
God troubleth thee.
1SA-16:16 Let our lord now command thy servants, [which are]
before thee, to
seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an harp: and it
shall come to
pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall
play with his
hand, and thou shalt be well.
1SA-16:17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man
that can play
well, and bring [him] to me.
