1 # And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Samuel <08050>, How long wilt thou mourn <056> (8693) for Saul <07586>, seeing I have rejected <03988> (8804) him from reigning <04427> (8800) over Israel <03478>? fill <04390> (8761) thine horn <07161> with oil <08081>, and go <03212> (8798), I will send <07971> (8799) thee to Jesse <03448> the Bethlehemite <01022>: for I have provided <07200> (8804) me a king <04428> among his sons <01121>.
2 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799), How can I go <03212> (8799)? if Saul <07586> hear <08085> (8804) it, he will kill <02026> (8804) me. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), Take <03947> (8799) an heifer <01241> <05697> with thee <03027>, and say <0559> (8804), I am come <0935> (8804) to sacrifice <02076> (8800) to the LORD <03068>.
3 And call <07121> (8804) Jesse <03448> to the sacrifice <02077>, and I will shew <03045> (8686) thee what thou shalt do <06213> (8799): and thou shalt anoint <04886> (8804) unto me him whom I name <0559> (8799) unto thee.
4 And Samuel <08050> did <06213> (8799) that which the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8765), and came <0935> (8799) to Bethlehem <01035>. And the elders <02205> of the town <05892> trembled <02729> (8799) at his coming <07125> (8800), and said <0559> (8799), Comest <0935> (8800) thou peaceably <07965>?
5 And he said <0559> (8799), Peaceably <07965>: I am come <0935> (8804) to sacrifice <02076> (8800) unto the LORD <03068>: sanctify <06942> (8690) yourselves, and come <0935> (8804) with me to the sacrifice <02077> . And he sanctified <06942> (8762) Jesse <03448> and his sons <01121>, and called <07121> (8799) them to the sacrifice <02077>.
6 # And it came to pass, when they were come <0935> (8800), that he looked <07200> (8799) on Eliab <0446>, and said <0559> (8799), Surely the LORD'S <03068> anointed <04899> is before him.
7 But the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Samuel <08050>, Look <05027> (8686) not on his countenance <04758>, or on the height <01364> of his stature <06967>; because I have refused <03988> (8804) him: for the LORD seeth not as man <0120> seeth <07200> (8799); for man <0120> looketh <07200> (8799) on the outward appearance <05869>, but the LORD <03068> looketh <07200> (8799) on the heart <03824>.
8 Then Jesse <03448> called <07121> (8799) Abinadab <041>, and made him pass <05674> (8686) before <06440> Samuel <08050>. And he said <0559> (8799), Neither hath the LORD <03068> chosen <0977> (8804) this.
9 Then Jesse <03448> made Shammah <08048> to pass by <05674> (8686). And he said <0559> (8799), Neither hath the LORD <03068> chosen <0977> (8804) this.
10 Again, Jesse <03448> made seven <07651> of his sons <01121> to pass <05674> (8686) before <06440> Samuel <08050>. And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto Jesse <03448>, The LORD <03068> hath not chosen <0977> (8804) these.
11 And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto Jesse <03448>, Are here all <08552> (8804) thy children <05288>? And he said <0559> (8799), There remaineth <07604> (8804) yet the youngest <06996>, and, behold, he keepeth <07462> (8802) the sheep <06629>. And Samuel <08050> said <0559> (8799) unto Jesse <03448>, Send <07971> (8798) and fetch <03947> (8798) him: for we will not sit down <05437> (8799) till he come <0935> (8800) hither <06311>.
12 And he sent <07971> (8799), and brought him in <0935> (8686). Now he was ruddy <0132>, and withal <05973> of a beautiful <03303> countenance <05869>, and goodly <02896> to look to <07210>. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799), Arise <06965> (8798), anoint <04886> (8798) him: for this is he.
13 Then Samuel <08050> took <03947> (8799) the horn <07161> of oil <08081>, and anointed <04886> (8799) him in the midst <07130> of his brethren <0251>: and the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> came <06743> (8799) upon David <01732> from that day <03117> forward <04605>. So Samuel <08050> rose up <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) to Ramah <07414>.

14 # But the Spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068> departed <05493> (8804) from Saul <07586>, and an evil <07451> spirit <07307> from the LORD <03068> troubled <01204> (8765) him.

15 And Saul's <07586> servants <05650> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold now, an evil <07451> spirit <07307> from God <0430> troubleth <01204> (8764) thee.
16 Let our lord <0113> now command <0559> (8799) thy servants <05650>, which are before <06440> thee, to seek out <01245> (8762) a man <0376>, who is a cunning <03045> (8802) player <05059> (8764) on an harp <03658>: and it shall come to pass, when the evil <07451> spirit <07307> from God <0430> is upon thee, that he shall play <05059> (8765) with his hand <03027>, and thou shalt be well <02895> (8804).
17 And Saul <07586> said <0559> (8799) unto his servants <05650>, Provide <07200> (8798) me now a man <0376> that can play <05059> (8763) well <03190> (8688), and bring <0935> (8689) him to me.
18 Then answered <06030> (8799) one <0259> of the servants <05288>, and said <0559> (8799), Behold, I have seen <07200> (8804) a son <01121> of Jesse <03448> the Bethlehemite <01022>, that is cunning <03045> (8802) in playing <05059> (8763), and a mighty <01368> valiant man <02428>, and a man <0376> of war <04421>, and prudent <0995> (8737) in matters <01697>, and a comely <08389> person <0376>, and the LORD <03068> is with him.
19 Wherefore Saul <07586> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> unto Jesse <03448>, and said <0559> (8799), Send <07971> (8798) me David <01732> thy son <01121>, which is with the sheep <06629>.
20 And Jesse <03448> took <03947> (8799) an ass <02543> laden with bread <03899>, and a bottle <04997> of wine <03196>, and a <0259> kid <01423> <05795>, and sent <07971> (8799) them by <03027> David <01732> his son <01121> unto Saul <07586>.
21 And David <01732> came <0935> (8799) to Saul <07586>, and stood <05975> (8799) before <06440> him: and he loved <0157> (8799) him greatly <03966>; and he became his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627>.
22 And Saul <07586> sent <07971> (8799) to Jesse <03448>, saying <0559> (8800), Let David <01732> , I pray thee, stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> me; for he hath found <04672> (8804) favour <02580> in my sight <05869>.

23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit <07307> from God <0430> was upon Saul <07586>, that David <01732> took <03947> (8804) an harp <03658>, and played <05059> (8765) with his hand <03027>: so Saul <07586> was refreshed <07304> (8804), and was well <02895> (8804), and the evil <07451> spirit <07307> departed <05493> (8804) from him.
