Chapter 16 And the LORD said unto Samuel,
How long wilt thou mourn for Saul,

00:06.480 --> 00:08.960
seeing I have rejected him from reigning
over Israel?

00:09.740 --> 00:11.700
Fill thine horn with oil, and go.

00:12.200 --> 00:16.980
I will send thee to Jesse, the
Bethlehemite, for I have provided me a

00:16.980 --> 00:18.060
king among his sons.

00:18.480 --> 00:20.560
And Samuel said, How can I go?

00:20.980 --> 00:22.580
If Saul hear it, he will kill me.

00:22.800 --> 00:27.680
And the LORD said, Take an heifer with
thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice unto

00:27.680 --> 00:30.120
the LORD, and call Jesse to the sacrifice.

00:31.000 --> 00:36.340
And I will show thee what thou shalt do,
and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I

00:36.340 --> 00:37.280
name unto thee.

00:37.600 --> 00:40.560
And Samuel did that which the LORD spake,
and came to Bethlehem.

00:40.760 --> 00:45.360
And the elders of the town trembled at his
coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?

00:45.840 --> 00:47.320
And he said, Peaceably.

00:47.860 --> 00:50.120
I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD.

00:50.600 --> 00:53.480
Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to
the sacrifice.

00:53.480 --> 00:56.820
And he sanctified Jesse and his sons,
and called them to the sacrifice.

00:57.640 --> 01:01.100
And it came to pass when they were come,
that he looked on Eliab, and said,

01:01.340 --> 01:03.540
Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.

01:03.680 --> 01:07.700
But the LORD said unto Samuel,
Look not on his countenance, or on the

01:07.700 --> 01:10.820
height of his stature, because I have
refused him.

01:11.240 --> 01:13.620
For the LORD seeth not as man seeth.

01:14.100 --> 01:18.220
For man looketh on the outward appearance,
but the LORD looketh on the heart.

01:18.560 --> 01:21.360
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him
pass before Samuel.

01:21.900 --> 01:24.700
And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen
this.

01:25.020 --> 01:26.800
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by.

01:27.360 --> 01:29.920
And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen
this.

01:30.360 --> 01:33.800
Again Jesse made seven of his sons to pass
before Samuel.

01:34.320 --> 01:37.600
And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath
not chosen these.

01:37.780 --> 01:40.580
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all
thy children?

01:41.020 --> 01:46.500
And he said, There remaineth yet the
youngest, and behold, he keepeth the

01:46.500 --> 01:46.800
sheep.

01:47.100 --> 01:51.480
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send,
and fetch him, for we will not sit down

01:51.480 --> 01:52.380
till he come hither.

01:52.600 --> 01:53.860
And he sent, and brought him in.

01:54.560 --> 01:58.200
Now he was ready, and with all of a
beautiful countenance, and goodly to look

01:58.200 --> 01:58.420
to.

01:58.780 --> 02:02.880
And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him,
for this is he.

02:03.160 --> 02:06.240
Then Samuel took the horn of oil,
and anointed him in the midst of his

02:06.240 --> 02:06.520
brethren.

02:07.100 --> 02:10.020
And the Spirit of the LORD came upon David
from that day forward.

02:10.700 --> 02:12.740
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

02:13.480 --> 02:17.640
But the Spirit of the LORD departed from
Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD

02:17.640 --> 02:18.220
troubled him.

02:18.800 --> 02:23.740
And Saul's servants said unto him,
Behold now, an evil spirit from God

02:23.740 --> 02:24.620
troubleth thee.

02:25.500 --> 02:29.500
Let our LORD now command thy servants,
which are before thee, to seek out a man

02:29.500 --> 02:31.660
who is a cunning player on an harp.

02:32.360 --> 02:36.600
And it shall come to pass, when the evil
spirit from God is upon thee, that he

02:36.600 --> 02:39.620
shall play with his hand, and thou shalt
be well.

02:39.800 --> 02:43.200
And Saul said unto his servants,
Provide me now a man that can play well,

02:43.280 --> 02:44.140
and bring him to me.

02:44.220 --> 02:48.260
Then answered one of the servants,
and said, Behold, I have seen a son of

02:48.260 --> 02:53.440
Jesse, the Bethlehemite, that is cunning
in playing, and a mighty, valiant man,

02:53.580 --> 02:57.780
and a man of war, and prudent in matters,
and a comely person.

02:58.280 --> 02:59.380
And the LORD is with him.

02:59.860 --> 03:03.880
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse,
and said, Send me David thy son,

03:03.940 --> 03:04.820
which is with the sheep.

03:04.820 --> 03:08.640
And Jesse took an ass laden with bread,
and a bottle of wine, and a kid,

03:09.080 --> 03:11.120
and sent them by David his son unto Saul.

03:11.680 --> 03:14.980
And David came to Saul, and stood before
him, and he loved him greatly,

03:15.420 --> 03:16.700
and he became his armor-bearer.

03:17.220 --> 03:21.200
And Saul said to Jesse, saying,
Let David, I pray thee, stand before me,

03:21.680 --> 03:23.540
for he hath found favor in my sight.

03:23.740 --> 03:28.120
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit
from God was upon Saul, that David took an

03:28.120 --> 03:29.900
harp, and played with his hand.

03:29.900 --> 03:34.760
So Saul was refreshed, and was well,
and the evil spirit departed from him.
