1 Samuel 16:2-5

2And SamuelH8050 saidH559, HowH349 can I goH935? if SaulH7586 hearH8085 it, he will killH2026 me. And Jehovah saidH559, TakeH3947 a heiferH5697 with thee, and sayH559, I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to Jehovah. 3And callH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anointH4886 unto me him whom I name unto thee. 4And SamuelH8050 did that which Jehovah spake, and cameH935 to Beth-lehem. And the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 cameH935 to meetH7122 him tremblingH2729, and saidH559, Comest thou peaceably? 5And he saidH559, Peaceably; I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2077 unto Jehovah: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and comeH935 with me to the sacrificeH2077. And he sanctifiedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121, and calledH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.
