1 Samuel 16:1; 1 Samuel 16:18; 1 Samuel 16:17; 1 Samuel 16:12; 1 Samuel 16:17

1 The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”

18 One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him.”

17 So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”

12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”

17 So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.”
