1 Samuel 16

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>_.

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>_.

{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}

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.

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>_?

{coming: Heb. meeting}

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>_.

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. {Eliab: called Elihu}

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>_.

{outward...: Heb. eyes}

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.

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. {Shammah: Shimeah, also called, Shimma}

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.

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>_.

{down: Heb. round}

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. {of a...: Heb. fair of eyes}

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>_.

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. {troubled: or, terrified}

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.

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)_.

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.

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. {matters: or, speech}

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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.
