David Anointed King

1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have ^urejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”

3 And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. And you shall ^vanoint for me him whom I declare to you.”
