Samuel anoints David 16. The Lord said to Samuel, long will you mourn for Saul since I have rejected him as king over Israel?

Fill your horn with oil and be on your way. I am sending you to Jesse at Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king, but Samuel said, How can I go? Saul will hear about it and kill me. The Lord said, Take a hyfer with you and say, have come to sacrifice to the Lord.

Invite Jesse to the sacrifice and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me, the one I indicate. Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, do you come in peace? Samuel replied, yes in peace I have come to sacrifice to the Lord Concerate yourselves and come to the sacrifice

With me Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons And invited him to the sacrifice When they arrived Samuel saw Eliab And thought surely the Lord's anointed Stans here before the Lord But the Lord said to Samuel do not consider his appearance or his height,

for I have rejected him. The word does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. Then Jesse called Abbedadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, The Lord has not chosen this one either. Jesse then had Shama passed by, but Samuel said,

Nor has the Lord chosen this one. Jesse had seven of his sons passed before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, The Lord has not chosen these. So he asked Jesse, are these all the sons you have? This, there is still the youngest, Jesse answered, but he is tending the sheep Samuel said

Send for him We will not sit down Until he arrives So he sent and had him brought in He was ruddy With a fine appearance and handsome features Then the Lord said Rise and anoint him

He is the one So Samuel took the horn of oil And anointed him in the presence of his brothers and from that day on the spirit of the lord came upon david in power samuel then went to rama david in sol's service now the spirit of the lord had departed from soul and an evil spirit from the lord tormented him saul's attendant said to him see an evil spirit from god is tormenting you let our lord manned his servants here to search for someone who can play the harp. He will play when the evil spirit from the God comes upon you and you will feel better. So Saul said to his attendance,

find someone who plays well and brings him to me. One of the servants answered, I have a seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the harp. He is a brave man and a warrior He speaks well and is a fine-looking man And the Lord is with him Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse And said Send me your son David

Who is with the sheep So Jesse took a donkey Loaded with bread A skin of wine And young goat And sent him And sent them with his son David to Saul

David came to Saul and entered his service Saul liked him very well very much and David became one of his armor bearers Then Saul sent word to Jesse Saying allow David to remain in my service For I am pleased with him Whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul David would take his harp in play

Then relief would come to Saul he would feel better and the evil spirit would leave him. David and Goliath, 17. Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled at Sukkow and Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Damim between Succo, and Azhika Saul and the

Israelites assembled and camped in the valley of Allah and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. The Philistines occupied one hill one hill in the

Israelites another with the valley between them. A champion named Goliath who was from Gath came out of the Philistin camp. He was over nine feet tall. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weight,

weighing 5,000 shekels on his legs he wore bronze greaves. And the bronze javelin was slung on his back. His spear shaft was like a weaver's rod. and its iron point weighed 600 shekels. His shield bear went ahead of him. Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel. Why did you come out and line? Up for battle.

Am I not a Philistine? And are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me. If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects. But if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us. Then the Philistine said,

This day I defy the ranks of Israel, give me a man, and let's fight each other. On hearing the Philistine's words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified. Now, David was the son of an Ephraite named Jesse, who was from Bethlehem and Judah. Jesse had eight sons, and in Saul's time, he was old and well advanced in years. Jesse's three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war.

The first born was Eliab, the second Abedadab, and the third Shama. David was the youngest, the three oldest followed Saul, but David went back and forth from Saul to attend his father's sheep at Bethlehem. For 40 days, the Philistine came forward every morning and evening and took his stand. Now, Jesse said to his son, David, take this epa of roasted grain and these ten lobes of bread for your brothers and hurry to their camp. Take along these ten cheeses to the commander of their unit. See how your brothers are and bring back some assurance. from them. There would sell in all the men of Israel in the valley of Allah, fighting against the

Philistines. Early in the morning, David left the flock with the shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry. Israel and the Philistines were the, drawing up their lines, facing each other. David left his things with the keeper of supplies, ran to the battle lines, and greeted his brothers. As he was talking with them, Goliath, the Philistine champion from Gath,

stepped out from his lines, and shouted his usual defiance, and David heard it. When the Israelites saw the man, they all ran from him in great fear. Now the Israelites have been saying, Do you see how this man keeps coming out? He comes out to defy Israel.

The king will give great wealth to the man who kills him. He will also give him his daughter and marriage and will exempt his father's family from taxes in Israel. David asked the man staying near him, what will be done for the man who kills the Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? who was the uncircised philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God they repeated to him what

they had been saying and told him this is what will be done for the man who kills him when Eli David's over his son heard him speaking with the men he burned with anger at him and asked why have you come down here and with

whom did you leave those few sheep in the desert I know how conceited you are and how wicked your heart is. You came down only to watch the battle. Now, what have I done? said David. Can't I even speak? He's then turned away to someone and brought up the same matter, and the men answered him as before. What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him. David said to Saul, let no one lose heart on account. of this Philistine. Your servant will go and fight him. So I replied, you are not able to go out

against this Philistine and fight him. You are only a boy, and he has been a fighting man from his youth, but David said to Saul, your servant has been keeping his father's sheep when a lion or bear came in carried off a sheep from the flock. I went after it, struck it, struck it, and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned down me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear. This uncircised Philistine will be like the one of them. Because he has defied the armies of the living God,

the Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear. will deliver me from the hand of this philistine Saul said to David go in go in the Lord be with you then Saul dressed David in his own tunic he put a coat of armor on him in a bronze helmet on his head David fastened on his sword

over the tunic and tried walking around because he was not used to them So this is where we're going to stop. We'll pick back up in this chapter. Thanks for tuning to our interesting Bowery.
