1 Samuel 16:1-5

1And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, HowH4970 longH5704 wiltH56 thou mournH56 for SaulH7586, seeingH7200 I have rejectedH3988 him from beingH1121 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478? fillH4390 thine hornH7161 with oilH8081, and goH7971, I will sendH7971 thee to JesseH3448 the Beth-lehemite: for I have providedH7200 meH413 a kingH4428 among his sonsH1121.

2And SamuelH8050 saidH559, HowH349 canH349 I goH935? if SaulH7586 hearH8085 it, he will killH2026 meH935. And the LORDH3068 saidH559, TakeH3947 an heiferH5697 with thee, and sayH559, I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068.

3And callH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and I will shew thee whatH834 thou shalt doH6213: and thou shalt anointH4886 unto meH413 him whomH834 I nameH559 unto thee.

4And SamuelH8050 didH6213 that whichH834 the LORDH3068 spake, and cameH935 to Beth-lehem. And the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892 cameH935 to meetH7122 him tremblingH2729, and saidH559, Comest thou peaceablyH7965?

5And he saidH559, PeaceablyH7965: I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2077 unto the LORDH3068: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and comeH935 with meH935 to the sacrificeH2077. And he sanctifiedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121, and calledH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.
