1 Samuel 16:2-5

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.”

4So SamuelH8050 didH6213 whatH834 the LORDH3068 had saidH1696 and wentH935 to BethlehemH1035. When the eldersH2205 of the townH5892 met himH7122, they trembledH2729 and askedH559, “Do you comeH935 in peaceH7965?”

5“In peaceH7965,” he repliedH559. “I have comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068. Consecrate yourselvesH6942 and comeH935 with meH854 to the sacrificeH2077.”

Then he consecratedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121 and invitedH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.
