1 Samuel 16:4-5
Context16:4 Samuel did what the Lord told him. 1 When he arrived in Bethlehem, 2 the elders of the city were afraid to meet him. They 3 said, “Do you come in peace?” 16:5 He replied, “Yes, in peace. I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” So he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
