Samuel Anoints David

16 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn^(A) for Saul, since I have rejected^(B) him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil^(C) and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse^(D) of Bethlehem. I have chosen^(E) one of his sons to be king.”

³⁹ Zadok the priest took the horn of oil^(A) from the sacred tent^(B) and anointed Solomon. Then they sounded the trumpet^(C) and all the people shouted,^(D) “Long live King Solomon!”
