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