1 Samuel 16:10-11
16:10 Jesse presented seven of his sons to Samuel.
But Samuel said to Jesse, “The
Lord has not chosen any of these.”
16:11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Is that all of the young men?” Jesse
replied, “There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.”
1 Samuel 16:1
Samuel Anoints David as King
16:1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons.”
1 Samuel 2:13-16
2:13 Now the priests would always treat the people in the following way:
Whenever anyone was making a sacrifice, while the meat was boiling, the priest’s attendant would come with a three-pronged fork
in his hand.
2:14 He would jab it into the basin, kettle, caldron, or pot, and everything that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they used to do to all the Israelites
when they came there to Shiloh.
2:15 Even before they burned the fat, the priest’s attendant would come and say to the person who was making the sacrifice, “Hand over some meat for the priest to roast! He won’t take boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
2:16 If the individual said to him, “First let the fat be burned away, and then take for yourself whatever you wish,” he would say, “No! Hand it over right now! If you don’t, I will take it forcibly!”
