@ And the
LORD
said
unto
Samuel
Sh@, How long wilt thou
mourn
for
Saul
, seeing I have
rejected
him from
reigning
over
Israel
?
fill
thine
horn
with
oil
, and
go
, I will
send
thee to
Jesse
the
Bethlehemite
Beyth hal-: for I have
provided
me a
king
among his
sons
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:2
@ And
Samuel
said
, How can I
go
? if
Saul
hear
it, he will
kill
me. And the
LORD
said
,
Take
an
heifer
with
thee
, and
say
, I am
come
to
sacrifice
to the
LORD
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:3
@ And
call
Jesse
to the
sacrifice
, and I will
shew
thee what thou shalt
do
: and thou shalt
anoint
unto me him whom I
name
unto thee.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:4
@ And
Samuel
did
that which the
LORD
spake
, and
came
to
Bethlehem
Beyth. And the
elders
of the
town
trembled
at his
coming
, and
said
,
Comest
thou
peaceably
?
strkjv@1Samuel:16:5
@ And he
said
,
Peaceably
: I am
come
to
sacrifice
unto the
LORD
:
sanctify
yourselves, and
come
with me to the
sacrifice
. And he
sanctified
Jesse
and his
sons
, and
called
them to the
sacrifice
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:6
@ And it came to pass, when they were
come
, that he
looked
on
Eliab
, and
said
, Surely the
LORDS
anointed
is before him.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:7
@ But the
LORD
said
unto
Samuel
Sh@,
Look
not on his
countenance
, or on the
height
of his
stature
; because I have
refused
him: for the LORD seeth not as
man
seeth
; for
man
looketh
on the outward
appearance
, but the
LORD
looketh
on the
heart
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:8
@ Then
Jesse
called
Abinadab
, and made him
pass
before
Samuel
Sh@. And he
said
, Neither hath the
LORD
chosen
this.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:9
@ Then
Jesse
made
Shammah
to pass
by
. And he
said
, Neither hath the
LORD
chosen
this.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:10
@ Again,
Jesse
made
seven
of his
sons
to
pass
before
Samuel
Sh@. And
Samuel
said
unto
Jesse
, The
LORD
hath not
chosen
these.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:11
@ And
Samuel
said
unto
Jesse
, Are here
all
thy
children
? And he
said
, There
remaineth
yet the
youngest
, and, behold, he
keepeth
the
sheep
. And
Samuel
said
unto
Jesse
,
Send
and
fetch
him: for we will not sit
down
till he
come
hither
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:12
@ And he
sent
, and brought him
in
. Now he was
ruddy
, and
withal
of a
beautiful
countenance
, and
goodly
to look
to
. And the
LORD
said
,
Arise
,
anoint
him: for this is he.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:13
@ Then
Samuel
took
the
horn
of
oil
, and
anointed
him in the
midst
of his
brethren
: and the
Spirit
of the
LORD
came
upon
David
from that
day
forward
. So
Samuel
rose
up
, and
went
to
Ramah
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:14
@ But the
Spirit
of the
LORD
departed
from
Saul
, and an
evil
spirit
from the
LORD
troubled
him.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:15
@ And
Sauls
servants
said
unto him, Behold now, an
evil
spirit
from
God
troubleth
thee.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:16
@ Let our
lord
now
command
thy
servants
, which are
before
thee, to seek
out
a
man
, who is a
cunning
player
on an
harp
: and it shall come to pass, when the
evil
spirit
from
God
is upon thee, that he shall
play
with his
hand
, and thou shalt be
well
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:17
@ And
Saul
said
unto his
servants
,
Provide
me now a
man
that can
play
well
, and
bring
him to me.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:18
@ Then
answered
one
of the
servants
, and
said
, Behold, I have
seen
a
son
of
Jesse
the
Bethlehemite
Beyth hal-, that is
cunning
in
playing
, and a
mighty
valiant
man
, and a
man
of
war
, and
prudent
in
matters
, and a
comely
person
, and the
LORD
is with him.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:19
@ Wherefore
Saul
sent
messengers
unto
Jesse
, and
said
,
Send
me
David
thy
son
, which is with the
sheep
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:20
@ And
Jesse
took
an
ass
laden with
bread
, and a
bottle
of
wine
, and
a
kid
g@
, and
sent
them
by
David
his
son
unto
Saul
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:21
@ And
David
came
to
Saul
, and
stood
before
him: and he
loved
him
greatly
m@; and he became his
armourbearer
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:22
@ And
Saul
sent
to
Jesse
,
saying
, Let
David
, I pray thee,
stand
before
me; for he hath
found
favour
in my
sight
.
strkjv@1Samuel:16:23
@ And it came to pass, when the evil
spirit
from
God
was upon
Saul
, that
David
took
an
harp
, and
played
with his
hand
: so
Saul
was
refreshed
, and was
well
, and the
evil
spirit
departed
from him.
