Now the LORD said to Samuel, "^(C1)How long are you going to mourn for ^(F1)Saul, since ^(C2)I have rejected him from being king over Israel? ^(C3)Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to ^(C4)Jesse the Bethlehemite, because I have ^(C5)chosen a king for Myself among his sons."

"And you shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and ^(C1)I will let you know what you shall do; and ^(C2)you shall anoint for Me the one whom I ^(F1)designate to you."

So he sent word and brought him in. Now he was ^(F1)reddish, with ^(C1)beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "^(C2)Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

So Samuel took the horn of oil and ^(C1)anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and ^(C2)the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel set out and went to Ramah.
