Give Us A King Series Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016 (message contributor) Summary: When it comes to the principle of choices, men are always impressed by what they see, but not God. He looks at the heart. The people of Israel selected a king based on the externals - but God was looking at the heart when he selected David. Series: David - A Man After God’s Own Heart (An Intro: Give Us A King – The People’s Choice V/S God’s Choice) 1 Samuel 16:1-14 16 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.” 2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” The Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.” 4 Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the elders of the town trembled when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?” 5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the Lord chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.” 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.” 13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah. 14 Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. Psalm 78:70 He (God) also chose David His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; 71 From following the ewes that had young He brought him, To shepherd Jacob His people, And Israel His inheritance. 72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands. Acts 13:22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.'

INTRODUCTION 2: ILLUSTRATION ON OUTWARD LOOKS – LOT OF BIBLE READING ILLUSTRATION: A young man and a woman fell deeply in love and we so enamored that they set a date for marriage immediately. Just before the wedding, the man who was in the reserved in the armed forces was quickly called to military service overseas. Every week they wrote each other for the next four years and planned to marry immediately whenever they met. He had managed to get the rings where he was stationed and would present it to her the first day they met. One day the war was over and the young man was scheduled to arrive on a train with all the other GI’s back home. His love, with much enthusiasm, was at the train station to meet him. After everyone had embarked from the train, a crippled, scarred and disfigured man walked out. The woman could hardly recognize the person. Where was her love? To her horror and amazement, the disfigured man introduced himself as her love. A grenade in the war had disfigured him. He was the same person within, but outwardly had changed. He stretched out to give the ring he had brought. She could not stand the sight and walked away from that young man never to return again.

1 शमूएल अध्याय 16 परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नुहुन्छ, “कति दिन शाऊलको निम्ति दुःखीत भइरहन्छसू? शाऊललाई मैले इस्राएलको राजापदबाट हटाइसके तरै पनि त्यसको दुःख मानिरहन्छस्। तँसित भएको सींङ तेलले भर र बेतलेहेम जा। म तँलाई बेतलेहेमको यिशै नाउँको मानिसकहाँ पठाउँदैछु। यिशै बेतलेहेममा बस्छ। मैले त्यसकै एकजना छोरालाई नयाँ राजाको रूपमा चुनें।” 2 शमूएलले भने, “यदि म गएँ भने यो समाचार शाऊलले सुन्ने छ र मलाई मार्ने छ।”परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, “बेतलेहेममा जा साथमा एउटा बाछा पनि लानु र भन्नु, ‘परमप्रभुलाई बलि चढाउन आएको।’ 3 यिशैलाई बलि चढाउन बोलाउनु। त्यसपछि म तँलाई के गर्नु पर्छ भन्ने छु। तैंले त्यस मानिसलाई अभिषेक गर्नु जुन म तँलाई देखाउँनेछु।” 4 शमूएलले त्यसै गरे जो परमप्रभुले तिनलाई गर्नु भन्नु भएको थियो। शमूएल बेतलेहेम गए। बेतलेहेमका बूढा-प्रधानहरू डरले कामे। तिनीहरूले शमूएललाई भेटे र सोधे, “के तपाईं शान्ति पूर्वक आउँनु भयो?” 5 शमूएलले भने, “ज्यू, म शान्ति पूर्वक आएँ। म परमप्रभुलाई बलिदान चढाउन आएको हुँ। तपाईंहरू पनि पूजाका निम्ति तयार भएर बलिदान चढाउन मसित आउनु होस्।” शमूएलले यिशै र तिनका छोराहरूलाई तयार पारे। त्यस पछि शमूएलले तिनीहरूलाई बलिदान चढाउन बोलाए। 6 जब यिशै र तिनका छोराहरू आइ पुगे, शमूएलले एलीआबलाई देखे। शमूएलले सोचे, “निश्चय पनि परमप्रभुले छान्नु भएको मानिस यिनै हुनु पर्छ।” 7 तर परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नु भयो, “एलीआब अग्लो र सुन्दर छ। तर यस्तो विचार गर्नु हुदैन। परमेश्वरले ती चीजहरू हेर्नु हुन्न हो मानिसहरूले हेर्छन्। मानिसले बाहिरी रूप मात्र हेर्छ, तर परमप्रभुले उसको हृदय हेर्नुहुन्छ। एलीआब त्यो ठीक मानिस होइन।” 8 त्यसपछि यिशैले तिनका दोस्रो छोरा अबीनादाबलाई बोलाए। अबीनादाब शमूएलकै छेउ भएर हिंडे। तर शमूएलले भने, “होइन, यसलाई पनि परमप्रभुले चुन्नु भएको छैन।” 9 त्यसपछि यिशैले शम्मालाई शमूएलको छेउमा बोलाए। तर शमूएलले भने, “होइन, यसलाई पनि परमप्रभुले चुन्नु भएको होइन।” 10 यिशैले सातौ छोरा देखाए। तर शमूएलले यिशैलाई भने, “परमप्रभुले यिनीहरू मध्ये कसैलाई पनि चुन्नु भएको छैन।” 11 शमूएले यिशैलाई सोधे, “के तपाईंका छोराहरू यति नै हुन्?”यिशैले भने, “होइन अर्को छोरा छ सब भन्दा कान्छो, तर अहिले भेडा चराउँदैछ।”शमूएलले भने, “उसलाई यहाँ तुरून्तै लिन पठाऊ। उ नआइञ्जेल सम्म हामी खान बस्ने छैनौं।” 12 यिशैले कान्छो छोरा लिन तुरून्तै कसैलाई पठाए। त्यो छोरा हेर्दै राम्रो थियो, रातो वर्णको युवक। उ साँच्चै सुन्दर थियो।परमप्रभुले शमूएललाई भन्नु भयो, “उठेर उसलाई अभिषेक गर। त्यहि एउटा हो।” 13 शमूएलले सीङबाट तेल निकालेर यिशैको कान्छा छोराको शिरमा दाजूहरूका अगाडी खन्याई दिए। परमप्रभुको आत्मा एकदमै शक्तिको साथ दाऊदमाथि त्यस दिन देखि उत्रियो। त्यस पछि शमूएल रामा घरतिर फर्के। 14 परमप्रभुको आत्माले शाऊललाई त्यागि दियो। परमप्रभुले दुष्ट आत्मा शाऊल कहाँ पठाउँनु भयो। त्यसले शाऊललाई साह्रै सतायो। 15 शाऊलको नोकरले भन्यो, “परमेश्वरद्वारा पठाउँनु भएको दुष्ट आत्माले तपाईंलाई साह्रै दुःख दियो। 16 हामीलाई आदेश दिनुहोस हामीले कुनै त्यस्तो व्यक्ति खोज्न सकौं जसले वीणा बजाउन सक्छ। यदि परमप्रभुबाट आएको त्यस दुष्ट आत्माले तपाईंलाई सताउन थालेछ भने त्यस मानिसले वीणा बजाउन थाल्नेछ र तपाईंलाई आराम अनुभव हुनेछ।” 17 शाऊलले नोकर-चाकरहरूलाई भने, “एउटा मानिसलाई मेरो निम्ति खोज जसले असल तरिकाले संगीत बजाउँछ। त्यसलाई म कहाँ ल्याऊ।” 18 एउटा नोकरले भन्यो, “एउटा यिशै नाउँका मानिस छन्। बेतलेहेममा बस्छन्। मैले देखेको छु यिशैको छोरा। उसले कसरी वीणा बजाउनु पर्छ जान्दछ। उ साह्रै वीर र युद्ध गर्न जान्दछ। उ साह्रै फुर्तिलो र सुन्दर छ। परमप्रभु पनि उसैको साथ हुनुहुन्छ।” 19 यसकारण शाऊलले समाचार दिने मानिसलाई यिशैकहाँ पठाए। तिनीहरूले यिशैलाई भने, “तिम्रो दाऊद नाउँको छोरा छ। जसले तिम्रा भेडाहरू चराउँछ। उसलाई मकहाँ पठाऊ।” 20 यिशैले शाऊलका निम्ति उपहारको बन्दोबस्त गर्यो। यिशैले उपहारको रूपमा एउटा गधा, केही रोटी, एक मशक दाखरस र एउटा बाख्राको पाठो तयार पार्यो। यिशैले ती चीजहरू दाऊदका साथ लगाएर शाऊल कहाँ पठायो। 21 यसरी दाऊद शाऊल कहाँ गयो र तिनका अगाडि हाजिर भयो। शाऊलले दाऊदलाई धेरै प्रेम गरे। दाऊद शाऊलको अस्त्र बोक्ने सहयोगी भए। 22 शाऊलले यिशैलाई खबर पठाए, “दाऊद बसेर मेरो सेवा गरोस्। ऊ मलाई असाध्यै मन पर्यो।” 23 जब परमेश्वरले पठाएको दुष्ट आत्माले शाऊललाई दुःख दिन थाल्थ्यो, दाऊदले हातमा वीणा लिएर बजाउँन थाल्दथे र दुष्ट आत्माले शाऊललाई छोडि हाल्थ्यो र शाऊल असल हुन्थे।
