David Anointed King

16 Then Yahweh said to Samuel, “^(A)How long will you be grieving over Saul? ^(B)I have rejected him from being king over Israel. ^(C)Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to ^(D)Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I ^(E)see among his sons a king for Me.”

³ And you shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and ^(A)I will make you know what you shall do; and ^(B)you shall anoint for Me the one whom I say to you.”

¹² So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with ^(A)beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And Yahweh said, “^(B)Arise, anoint him, for this is he.” ¹³ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and ^(C)anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and ^(D)the Spirit of Yahweh ^[a]came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
