The Word Proclaimed - 1 Samuel 16:1, 10-13 (NRSV)

The Lord said to Samuel, How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being
king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite,
for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.
Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has
not chosen any of these. Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your sons here? And he said, There
remains yet the youngest, but he is keeping the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and
bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here. He sent and brought him in. Now he
was ruddy, and had beautiful eyes, and was handsome. The Lord said, Rise and anoint him;
for this is the one. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the presence of his
brothers; and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. Samuel
then set out and went to Ramah.
