RF SA1 16:1 (B.C. 1063.) Samuel Consecrates David as the Future Leader.
The EVER-LIVING consequently said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve about Saul? although I have rejected him from the Leadership over Israel.—Fill your horn with oil, and go! I send you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have selected a Leader for Myself from among his sons."
RF SA1 16:2 But Samuel replied, "If I go and a Saul hears, he will murder me!"
The EVER-LIVING, however, answered, "Take an heifer from the herd with you, and say I have come to sacrifice to the EVER-LIVING,
RF SA1 16:3 and invite Jesse to the sacrifice, when I will instruct you what to do. Then anoint for Me whoever I tell you."
RF SA1 16:4 Samuel accordingly did what the EVER-LIVING told him, and went to Bethlehem, and the Magistrate of the town came to meet him, and asked "Do you come with peace?"
RF SA1 16:5 And he replied, "With peace.—I have come to sacrifice to the EVER-LIVING. Purify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. Let Jesse and his sons also purify themselves." Thus he invited them to the sacrifice;
RF SA1 16:6 and when they came he looked on Aliab, and thought, "Ah! he must be consecrated before the EVER-LIVING!"
RF SA1 16:7 But the EVER-LIVING said, "Do not bend to look at his great stature,—for I reject him, for what a man does not see. Because a man looks with his eyes, but the EVER-LIVING looks with His heart."
RF SA1 16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and passed him before the face of Samuel, when he said, "Him also the EVER-LIVING does not choose."
RF SA1 16:9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen this."
RF SA1 16:10 Then Jesse passed seven of his sons before Samuel, when Samuel said to Jesse, "The EVER-LIVING has not chosen any of these.
RF SA1 16:11 But," Samuel asked of Jesse, "are these all your lads?" And he replied, "All except the youngest; and he is shepherding with the sheep." Samuel, however, said to Jesse, "Send, and bring him; for I will not dine until he comes here."
RF SA1 16:12 So he sent and brought him, and he was ruddy, with handsome eyes, and beautiful to look at. Then the EVER-LIVING said, "Arise, anoint him! For this is he!"
RF SA1 16:13 Samuel therefore took the horn of oil, and consecrated him in preference to his brothers, and the Spirit of the EVER-LIVING came upon David from that day forward. Samuel afterwards arose and returned to Raamah.
RF SA1 16:14 (B.C. 1063.) Saul Afflicted with Depression of Spirit. David Summoned to Revive him with Music.
The Spirit of the EVER-LIVING then went away from Saul, and he was terrified by an Evil Spirit away from the LORD.
RF SA1 16:15 The Ministers of Saul consequently said to him, "Now that the Spirit of GOD has gone; an Evil Spirit terrifies you.
RF SA1 16:16 Let our lord then command your personal servants to seek a man skilful in playing on the harp, and when the Evil Spirit from GOD is upon you, he can play with his hand, and ease you."
RF SA1 16:17 Saul consequently replied to his ministers, "Look out then for me a man with proficiency in music, and bring him to me."
RF SA1 16:18 One of his ministers then replied, and said, "I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem, a skilful musician, a fine dancer, a gentleman, and a good reciter, and a handsome man; and the EVER-LIVING is with him."
RF SA1 16:19 Saul, therefore, sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send your son David who goes with the flock to me."
RF SA1 16:20 So Jesse put on an ass bread, and a skin of wine, with a kid of the goats, and sent them by the hand of his son David to Saul.
RF SA1 16:21 When David came to Saul and was presented to him, he admired him greatly, and he became one of his attendants,
RF SA1 16:22 and Saul sent to Jesse to say, "Let David attend me, for he has found favour in my sight."
RF SA1 16:23 When, therefore, the Spirit from GOD came upon Saul, David took his harp and played with his hand, and relieved Saul, and soothed him, so that the Evil Spirit went from him.
