Samuel Anoints David as King
David Serves in Saul’s Court -
|1 Samuel 16:1| Now the lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.”
-
|1 Samuel 16:2| But Samuel asked, “How can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.”“Take a heifer with you,” the lord replied, “and say that you have come to make a sacrifice to the lord.
-
|1 Samuel 16:3| Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you which of his sons to anoint for me.”
-
|1 Samuel 16:4| So Samuel did as the lord instructed. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town came trembling to meet him. “What’s wrong?” they asked. “Do you come in peace?”
-
|1 Samuel 16:5| “Yes,” Samuel replied. “I have come to sacrifice to the lord. Purify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then Samuel performed the purification rite for Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice, too.
-
|1 Samuel 16:6| When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, “Surely this is the lord’s anointed!”
-
|1 Samuel 16:7| But the lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the lord looks at the heart.”
-
|1 Samuel 16:8| Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to step forward and walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “This is not the one the lord has chosen.”
-
|1 Samuel 16:9| Next Jesse summoned Shimea, but Samuel said, “Neither is this the one the lord has chosen.”
-
|1 Samuel 16:10| In the same way all seven of Jesse’s sons were presented to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The lord has not chosen any of these.”
