|1 Samuel 16:1| a 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 oil 106 in a small container 107 and go visit a man named Jesse, who lives in Bethlehem. I've chosen one of his sons to be my king.”
-
|1 Samuel 16:2| Samuel answered, “If I do that, Saul will find out and have me killed.” “Take a calf with you,” the LORD replied. “Tell everyone that you've come to offer it as a sacrifice to me,
-
|1 Samuel 16:3| then invite Jesse to the sacrifice. 108 When I show you which one of his sons I have chosen, pour the olive oil on his head.”
-

-
|1 Samuel 16:5| “Yes, it is!” Samuel answered. “I've come to offer a sacrifice to the LORD. Get yourselves ready 109 to take part in the sacrifice and come with me.” Samuel also invited Jesse and his sons to come to the sacrifice, and he got them ready to take part.
