1 Ps 151.4.One day he said, "Samuel, I’ve rejected Saul, and I refuse to let him be king any longer. Stop feeling sad about him. Put some olive oil16.1 olive oil: See the note at 9.16.in a small container16.1 small container: Hebrew "horn"; animal horns were sometimes hollowed out and used as containers.and go visit a man named Jesse, who lives in Bethlehem. I’ve chosen one of his sons to be my king."
2 Samuelanswered, "If I do that, Saulwill find out and have me killed."
"Take a calf with you," the Lordreplied. "Tell everyone that you’ve come to offer it as a sacrifice to me, 3 then invite Jesseto the sacrifice.16.3 sacrifice: A sacrifice often involved a dinner where the meat from the sacrificed animal would be served.When I show you which one of his sons I have chosen, pour the olive oil on his head."
4 Samueldid what the Lordtold him and went to Bethlehem. The town leaders went to meet him, but they were terribly afraid and asked, "Is this a friendly visit?"
5 "Yes, it is!" Samuel answered. "I’ve come to offer a sacrifice to the Lord. Get yourselves ready16.5 Get yourselves ready: The people of Israel sometimes had to perform certain ceremonies to make themselves acceptable to God.to take part in the sacrifice and come with me." Samuel also invited Jesseand his sons to come to the sacrifice, and he got them ready to take part.
6 When Jesse and his sons arrived, Samuel noticed Jesse’s oldest son, Eliab. "He has to be the one the Lordhas chosen," Samuel said to himself.
7 Ps 151.5.But the Lordtold him, "Samuel, don’t think Eliab is the one just because he’s tall and handsome. He isn’t the one I’ve chosen. People judge others by what they look like, but I judge people by what is in their hearts."
8 Jessetold his son Abinadabto go over to Samuel, but Samuelsaid, "No, the Lordhasn’t chosen him."
9 Next, Jessesent his son Shammahto him, and Samuel said, "The Lordhasn’t chosen him either."
10 One by one, Jessetold all seven of his sons to go over to Samuel. Finally, Samuelsaid, "Jesse, the Lordhasn’t chosen any of these young men. 11 Ps 151.1.Do you have any other sons?"
"Yes," Jesseanswered. "My youngest son David is out taking care of the sheep."
"Send for him!" Samuelsaid. "We won’t start the ceremony until he gets here."
12 Jesse sent for David. He was a healthy, good-looking boy with a sparkle in his eyes. As soon as David came, the Lordtold Samuel, "He’s the one! Get up and pour the olive oil on his head."16.12 olive oil on his head: See the note at 9.16.
13 Samuelpoured the oil on David’s head while his brothers watched. At that moment, the Spirit of the Lordtook control of Davidand stayed with him from then on.
Samuelreturned home to Ramah.
David Plays the Harp for Saul
14 The Spirit of the Lordhad left Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lordwas terrifying him. 15 "It’s an evil spirit from God that’s frightening you," Saul’s officials told him. 16 "Your Majesty, let us go and look for someone who is good at playing the harp. He can play for you whenever the evil spirit from God bothers you, and you’ll feel better."
17 "All right," Saulanswered. "Find me someone who is good at playing the harp and bring him here."
18 "A man named Jessewho lives in Bethlehemhas a son who can play the harp," one official said. "He’s a brave warrior, he’s good-looking, he can speak well, and the Lordis with him."
19 Saulsent a message to Jesse: "Tell your son Davidto leave your sheep and come here to me."
20 Jesseloaded a donkey with bread and a goatskin full of wine,16.20 wine: Wine was sometimes kept in bottles made of goatskin sewn up with the fur on the outside.then he told Davidto take the donkey and a young goat to Saul. 21 Davidwent to Sauland started working for him. Saulliked him so much that he put Davidin charge of carrying his weapons. 22 Not long after this, Saulsent another message to Jesse: "I really like David. Please let him stay with me."
23 Ps 151.2.Whenever the evil spirit from God bothered Saul, Davidwould play his harp. Saulwould relax and feel better, and the evil spirit would go away.
