1 Samuel 16:1-10

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

How long wilt thou mourn
<056> (8693)

for Saul
<07586>_,

seeing I have rejected
<03988> (8804)

him from reigning
<04427> (8800)

over Israel
<03478>_?

fill
<04390> (8761)

thine horn
<07161>

with oil
<08081>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

I will send
<07971> (8799)

thee to Jesse
<03448>

the Bethlehemite
<01022>_:

for I have provided
<07200> (8804)

me a king
<04428>

among his sons
<01121>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

How can I go
<03212> (8799)_?

if Saul
<07586>

hear
<08085> (8804)

[it], he will kill
<02026> (8804)

me. And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take
<03947> (8799)

an heifer
<01241> <05697>

with thee
<03027>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

I am come
<0935> (8804)

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

to the LORD
<03068>_.

{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}

And call
<07121> (8804)

Jesse
<03448>

to the sacrifice
<02077>_,

and I will shew
<03045> (8686)

thee what thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_:

and thou shalt anoint
<04886> (8804)

unto me [him] whom I name
<0559> (8799)

unto thee.

And Samuel
<08050>

did
<06213> (8799)

that which the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Bethlehem
<01035>_.

And the elders
<02205>

of the town
<05892>

trembled
<02729> (8799)

at his coming
<07125> (8800)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Comest
<0935> (8800)

thou peaceably
<07965>_?

{coming: Heb. meeting}

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Peaceably
<07965>_:

I am come
<0935> (8804)

to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves, and come
<0935> (8804)

with me to the sacrifice
<02077>_.

And he sanctified
<06942> (8762)

Jesse
<03448>

and his sons
<01121>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

them to the sacrifice
<02077>_.

And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)_,

that he looked
<07200> (8799)

on Eliab
<0446>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Surely the LORD'S
<03068>

anointed
<04899>

[is] before him. {Eliab: called Elihu}

But the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Look
<05027> (8686)

not on his countenance
<04758>_,

or on the height
<01364>

of his stature
<06967>_;

because I have refused
<03988> (8804)

him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man
<0120>

seeth
<07200> (8799)_;

for man
<0120>

looketh
<07200> (8799)

on the outward appearance
<05869>_,

but the LORD
<03068>

looketh
<07200> (8799)

on the heart
<03824>_.

{outward...: Heb. eyes}

Then Jesse
<03448>

called
<07121> (8799)

Abinadab
<041>_,

and made him pass
<05674> (8686)

before
<06440>

Samuel
<08050>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Neither hath the LORD
<03068>

chosen
<0977> (8804)

this.

Then Jesse
<03448>

made Shammah
<08048>

to pass by
<05674> (8686)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Neither hath the LORD
<03068>

chosen
<0977> (8804)

this. {Shammah: Shimeah, also called, Shimma}

Again, Jesse
<03448>

made seven
<07651>

of his sons
<01121>

to pass
<05674> (8686)

before
<06440>

Samuel
<08050>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jesse
<03448>_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath not chosen
<0977> (8804)

these.
