David Anointed
12 So he sent word and brought him in. Now he was [a]reddish, with (A)beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, “(B)Arise, anoint him; for this is he.” 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and (C)anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and (D)the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
14 (E)Now the Spirit of the Lord left Saul, and (F)an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him.
