Samuel Goes to Bethlehem
1 Now the Lord said to Samuel, "How long are you going to mourn for 16:1 I.e., God’s rejection of SaulSaul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, because I have chosen a king for Myself among his sons."
6 When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord’s anointed is standing before Him." 10 So Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The Lord has not chosen these." 11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the boys?" And he said, "The youngest is still left, but behold, he is tending the sheep." So Samuel said to Jesse, "Send word and bring him; for we will not take our places at the table until he comes here."
David Anointed
12 So he sent word and brought him in. Now he was 16:12 I.e., of reddish hair or skinreddish, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he." 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
