1 Now the LORD said to Samuel, "How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesseof Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a king for Myself."
2 "How can I go?" Samuelasked. "Saulwill hear of it and kill me!"
The LORD answered, "Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’ 3 Then invite Jesseto the sacrifice, and I will show you what you are to do. You are to anoint for Me the one I indicate."
4 So Samueldid what the LORD had said and went to Bethlehem. When the elders of the town met him, they trembled and asked, "Do you come in peace?"
5 "In peace," he replied. "I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice."
Then he consecrated Jesseand his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliaband said, "Surely here before the LORD is His anointed."
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart."
8 Then Jessecalled Abinadaband presented him to Samuel, who said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."
9 Next Jessepresented Shammah,16:9 Shammah is a variant of Shimeah, Shimea, and Shimei; see 2 Samuel 13:3, 2 Samuel 21:21, and 1 Chronicles 2:13.but Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."
10 Thus Jessemade seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samueltold him, "The LORD has not chosen any of these."
11 And Samuelasked him, "Are these all the sons you have?"
"There is still the youngest," Jessereplied, "but he is tending the sheep."
"Send for him," Samuelreplied. "For we will not sit down to eat until he arrives."
12 So Jesse sent for his youngest son and brought him in. He was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Rise and anoint him, for he is the one."
13 So Samueltook the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon Davidfrom that day forward. Then Samuelset out and went to Ramah.
David Serves Saul
14 Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a spirit of distress16:14 Or a harmful spirit; similarly in verses 15, 16, and 23from the LORD began to torment him. 15 Saul’s servants said to him, "Surely a spirit of distress from God is tormenting you. 16 Let our lord command your servants here to seek out someone who can skillfully play the harp. Whenever the spirit of distress from God is upon you, he is to play it, and you will be well."
17 And Saulcommanded his servants, "Find me someone who plays well, and bring him to me."
18 One of the servants answered, "I have seen a son of Jesseof Bethlehemwho knows how to play the harp. He is a mighty man of valor, a warrior, eloquent and handsome, and the LORD is with him."
19 So Saulsent messengers to Jesseand said, "Send me your son David, who is with the sheep."
20 And Jessetook a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and one young goat and sent them to Saulwith his son David. 21 When Davidcame to Sauland entered his service, Saulloved him very much, and Davidbecame his armor-bearer.
22 Then Saulsent word to Jesse, saying, "Let Davidremain in my service, for I am pleased with him." 23 And whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, Davidwould pick up his harp and play. Then Saulwould find relief and feel better, and the spirit of distress would depart from him.
