1 Samuel 16:1-3 ▼

1 And YHWH said to Samuel, “Until when will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse the Beth-lehemite, for I have provided among his sons for Myself a king.”

2 And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” And YHWH said, “Take a heifer of the herd with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to YHWH.’

3 And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. And you shall anoint for Me whom I speak to you.”
