016:003 Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint to me him whom I name to you. 016:004 Samuel did that which Yahweh spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Come you peaceably? 016:005 He said, Peaceably; I am come to sacrifice to Yahweh: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. He sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 016:006 It happened, when they had come, that he looked at Eliab, and said, Surely Yahweh's anointed is before him. 016:007 But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Don't look on his face, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for [Yahweh sees] not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart." 016:008 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, Neither has Yahweh chosen this. 016:009 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. He said, Neither has Yahweh chosen this. 016:010 Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, Yahweh has not chosen these. 016:011 Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all your children? He said, There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is keeping the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send and get him; for we will not sit down until he come here. 016:012 He sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful face, and goodly to look on. Yahweh said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he. 016:013 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 016:014 Now the Spirit of Yahweh departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Yahweh troubled him. 016:015 Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God troubles you. 016:016 Let our lord now command your servants who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp: and it shall happen, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well. 016:017 Saul said to his servants, Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me. 016:018 Then answered one of the young men, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, and a mighty man of valor, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a comely person; and Yahweh is with him. 016:019 Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send me David your son, who is with the sheep. 016:020 Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.
