Seeker Overlay ON
*
And the LORD said unto Samuel ,
How long wilt thou mourn for Saul , (
note :)
Signifying that we should not show ourselves more pitiful than God ,
nor to lament those whom he casts out .(:
note )
seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel ?
fill thine horn with oil ,
and go ,
I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite :
for I have provided me a king among his sons .
*
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 (
note :)
That is ,
to make a peace offering ,
which may be done even though the ark was not there .(:
note )
to sacrifice to the LORD .
*
And call Ishai to the sacrifice ,
and I will shewe thee what thou shalt doe ,
and thou shalt anoynt vnto me him whom I name vnto thee .
*
And Samuel did that which the LORD spake ,
and came to Bethlehem .
And the elders of the town (
note :)
Afraid ,
lest some grievous crime had been committed ,
because the prophet was not wont to come there .(:
note )
trembled at his coming ,
and said ,
Comest thou peaceably ?
*
And he answeared ,
Yea :
I am come to doe sacrifice vnto the Lorde :
sanctifie your selues ,
and come with me to the sacrifice ;
he sanctified Ishai &
amp ;
his sonnes , &
amp ;
called them to the sacrifice .
*
And it came to pass ,
when they were come ,
that he looked on Eliab ,
and said ,
Surely the LORD '
S (
note :)
Thinking that Eliab had been appointed by God to be made king .(:
note )
anointed [
is ]
before him .
*
But the Lord said vnto Samuel ,
Looke not on his countenance ,
nor on the height of his stature ,
because I haue refused him :
for God seeth not as man seeth :
for ma looketh on the outward appearance ,
but the Lord beholdeth the heart .
*
Then Ishai called Abinadab , &
amp ;
made him come before Samuel ;
he saide ,
Neither hath the Lord chosen this .
*
Then Ishai made Shammah come ;
he said ,
Neither yet hath the Lorde chosen him .
*
Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel :
and Samuel saide vnto Ishai ,
The Lord hath chosen none of these .
*
Finally ,
Samuel said vnto Ishai ,
Are there no more children but these ?
And hee sayde ,
There remaineth yet a litle one behinde ,
that keepeth the sheepe .
Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai ,
Sende and set him :
for we will not sit downe ,
till he be come hither .
*
And he sent ,
and brought him in :
and he was ruddie , &
amp ;
of a good countenance ,
and comely visage ;
the Lorde saide ,
Arise ,
and anoynt him :
for this is he .
*
Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle ,
and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren ;
the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid ,
from that day forwarde :
then Samuel rose vp ,
and went to Ramah .
