1 Samuel 16:1-3

1Now the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 SamuelH8050, “How longH5704H4970 are youH859 going to mournH56 forH413 SaulH7586, since IH589 have rejected himH3988 as kingH4427 overH5921 IsraelH3478? Fill your hornH7161 withH4390 oilH8081 and goH1980. I am sendingH7971 you toH413 JesseH3448 of BethlehemH1022, forH3588 I have selectedH7200 from his sonsH1121 a kingH4428 for Myself.”

2“HowH349 can I goH1980?” SamuelH8050 askedH559. “SaulH7586 will hear of itH8085 and kill meH2026!”

The LORDH3068 answeredH559, “TakeH3947 a heiferH5697H1241 with youH3027 and sayH559, ‘I have comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068.’ 3Then inviteH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and IH595 will show youH3045 whatH834 you are to doH6213. You are to anointH4886 for Me the oneH834 I indicateH559.”
