1 Samuel 16:2-5

2But SamuelH8050 saidH559, “HowH349 can I goH1980? When SaulH7586 hearsH8085 of it, he will killH2026 me.” And the LordH3068 saidH559, “1TakeH3947 a heiferH5697 with you and sayH559, ‘I have comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068.’ 3You shall inviteH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and 2I will showH3045 you whatH834 you shall doH6213; and 3you shall anointH4886 for Me the one whomH834 I 4designateH559 to you.” 4So SamuelH8050 didH6213 whatH834 the LordH3068 saidH1696, and cameH935 to 5BethlehemH1035. And the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 cameH2729 tremblingH2729 to meetH7122 him and saidH559, “6Do you comeH935 in peaceH7965?” 5He saidH559, “In peaceH7965; I have comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068. 7ConsecrateH6942 yourselves and comeH935 with me to the sacrificeH2077.” He also consecratedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121 and invitedH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.
