1 Samuel 16:1-5

1And Yhwh said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

2And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And Yhwh said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Yhwh.1

3And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.

4And Samuel did that which Yhwh spake, and came to Beth–lehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?2

5And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto Yhwh: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
