16
1And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El], How long will youi mourn for Sha’ul [desired], seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? fill youi horn with oil, and go, I will send youi to Yishai [I possess] the Beit-Lachmi [house of bread]: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
2And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said, How can I go? if Sha’ul [desired] hear [it], he will kill me. And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, Take an heifer with youi, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
3And call Yishai [I possess] to the sacrifice, and I will show youi what youi shall do: and youi shall anoint unto me [him] whom I name unto youi.
4And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] did that which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke, and came to Beit-Lechem [House of Bread]. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Come youi peaceably?
5And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Yishai [I possess] and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on ‘Eli’av [My Father is God], and said, Surely the Lord-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] anointed [is] before him.
7But the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Sh’mu’el [His name is El], Look not on his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor), or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sees] not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) looks on the heart.
8Then Yishai [I possess] called Avinadav [my father is noble], and made him pass before Sh’mu’el [His name is El]. And he said, Neither has the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) chosen this.
9Then Yishai [I possess] made Shammah [astonishment] to pass by. And he said, Neither has the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) chosen this.
10Again, Yishai [I possess] made seven of his sons to pass before Sh’mu’el [His name is El]. And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto Yishai [I possess], The Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has not chosen these.
11And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto Yishai [I possess], Are here all [youi] children? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Sh’mu’el [His name is El] said unto Yishai [I possess], Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come here.
12And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy (reddish hair or complexion), [and] withal of a beautiful Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor), and goodly to look to. And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he.
13Then Sh’mu’el [His name is El] took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came upon David [beloved] from that day forward. So Sh’mu’el [His name is El] rose up, and went to Ramah [Hill].
14But the Spirit of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) departed from Sha’ul [desired], and an evil spirit from the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) troubled him.
15And Sha’ul’s [desired] servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] troubles youi.
16Let our lord now command youri servants, [which are] before youi, to seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] is upon youi, that he shall play with his hand, and youi shall be well.
17And Sha’ul [desired] said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring [him] to me.
18Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Yishai [I possess] the Beit-Lachmi [house of bread], [that is] cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely (attractive; proper (one’s own; peculiar; particular); becoming) person, and the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] with him.
19For what reason Sha’ul [desired] sent messengers unto Yishai [I possess], and said, Send me David [beloved] youi son, which [is] with the sheep.
20And Yishai [I possess] took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David [beloved] his son unto Sha’ul [desired].
21And David [beloved] came to Sha’ul [desired], and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
22And Sha’ul [desired] sent to Yishai [I possess], saying, Let David [beloved], I pray youi, stand before me; for he has found favour in my sight.
23And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was upon Sha’ul [desired], that David [beloved] took an harp, and played with his hand: so Sha’ul [desired] was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
