16 Jehovah eventually said to Samuel: “How long will you mourn for Saul+ now that I have rejected him from ruling as king over Israel?+ Fill your horn with oil+ and go. I will send you to Jes′se+ the Beth′le·hem·ite, because I have selected from among his sons a king for myself.”+2 But Samuel said: “How can I go? When Saul hears about it, he will kill me.”+ Jehovah replied: “Take a young cow with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to Jehovah.’3 Invite Jes′se to the sacrifice; then I will make known to you what to do. You must anoint for me the one whom I designate to you.”+4 Samuel did what Jehovah said. When he came to Beth′le·hem,+ the elders of the city were trembling at meeting him, and they said: “Does your coming mean peace?”5 To this he said: “It means peace. I have come to sacrifice to Jehovah. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he sanctified Jes′se and his sons, after which he summoned them to the sacrifice.6 As they came in and he saw E·li′ab,+ he said: “Surely here before Jehovah stands his anointed one.”7 But Jehovah said to Samuel: “Do not pay attention to his appearance and how tall he is,+ for I have rejected him. For the way man sees is not the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes, but Jehovah sees into the heart.”+8 Then Jes′se called A·bin′a·dab+ and had him pass before Samuel, but he said: “Jehovah has not chosen this one either.”9 Next Jes′se presented Sham′mah,+ but he said: “Jehovah has not chosen this one either.”10 So Jes′se had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jes′se: “Jehovah has not chosen any of these.”11 Finally Samuel said to Jes′se: “Are these all of your boys?” To this he said: “The youngest+ has been left out until now; he is pasturing the sheep.”+ Then Samuel said to Jes′se: “Send for him, because we will not sit down for the meal until he comes here.”12 So he sent for him and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and handsome in appearance.+ Then Jehovah said: “Get up, anoint him, for this is the one!”+13 So Samuel took the horn of oil+ and anointed him in the presence of his brothers. And the spirit of Jehovah began to empower David from that day forward.+ Samuel later rose and went his way to Ra′mah.+14 Now the spirit of Jehovah had departed from Saul,+ and a bad spirit from Jehovah terrorized him.+15 The servants of Saul said to him: “You see that a bad spirit from God is terrorizing you.16 Let our lord, please, command your servants before you to look for a man who is skilled at playing the harp.+ Whenever a bad spirit from God comes upon you, he will play it, and you will feel better.”17 So Saul said to his servants: “Find me, please, a man who plays well, and bring him to me.”18 One of the attendants said: “Look! I have seen how a son of Jes′se the Beth′le·hem·ite plays skillfully, and he is a courageous, mighty warrior.+ He can speak well, and he is handsome,+ and Jehovah is with him.”+19 Saul then sent messengers to Jes′se and said: “Send to me your son David, who is with the flock.”+20 So Jes′se loaded a donkey with bread, a skin bottle of wine, and a young goat and sent them to Saul with his son David.21 Thus David came to Saul and began serving him.+ Saul grew to love him very much, and he became his armor-bearer.22 Saul sent a message to Jes′se: “Please let David remain in my service, for he has found favor in my eyes.”23 Whenever a bad spirit from God came upon Saul, David took the harp and played it, and Saul found relief and felt better, and the bad spirit would depart from him.+

Jednog dana Jehova je rekao Samuelu: “Dokle ćeš tugovati za Šaulom,+ kad sam ga ja odbacio da više ne kraljuje nad Izraelom?+ Napuni uljem+ rog svoj i kreni na put! Šaljem te Jišaju+ iz Betlehema, jer sam među sinovima njegovim izabrao sebi kralja.”+2 Ali Samuel je rekao: “Kako da idem? Ako to čuje Šaul, ubit će me!”+ A Jehova je odvratio: “Uzmi sa sobom junicu iz krda, pa reci: ‘Došao sam da prinesem žrtvu Jehovi’!+3 I pozovi Jišaja na žrtvu, a ja ću ti reći što ćeš činiti!+ Pomaži+ mi onoga kojega ti pokažem!”4 I Samuel je učinio što mu je rekao Jehova. Kad je došao u Betlehem,+ starješine gradski došli su mu dršćući+ u susret i upitali su: “Dolaziš li u miru?”+5 A on je odgovorio: “Da, dolazim u miru. Došao sam prinijeti žrtvu Jehovi. Posvetite se,+ pa dođite sa mnom na žrtvu!” Potom je posvetio Jišaja i sinove njegove i pozvao ih na žrtvu.6 Kad su došli i kad je ugledao Elijaba,+ pomislio je: “Sigurno je pred Jehovom pomazanik njegov!”7 Ali Jehova je rekao Samuelu: “Ne gledaj na vanjštinu njegovu niti na visoki stas njegov,+ jer sam ga odbacio! Bog ne gleda na što čovjek gleda,+ jer čovjek gleda ono što oči vide,+ a Jehova gleda što je u srcu.”+8 Jišaj je zatim pozvao Abinadaba+ i doveo ga pred Samuela, ali on je rekao: “Ni ovoga Jehova nije izabrao.”9 Potom je Jišaj doveo Šamu,+ ali Samuel je rekao: “Ni ovoga Jehova nije izabrao.”10 Tako je Jišaj doveo pred Samuela sedam sinova svojih, ali Samuel je rekao Jišaju: “Jehova nije izabrao nijednoga od njih.”11 Na koncu je Samuel upitao Jišaja: “Jesu li to svi tvoji sinovi?” A on je odgovorio: “Ostao je još najmlađi,+ ali on pase ovce.”+ Nato je Samuel rekao Jišaju: “Pošalji po njega, jer nećemo sjesti za stol dok on ne dođe!”12 I Jišaj je poslao po njega. A mladić je bio rumen,+ lijepih očiju i krasna stasa. I Jehova je rekao: “Ustani i pomaži ga, jer to je taj!”+13 Tada je Samuel uzeo rog s uljem+ i pomazao ga usred braće njegove. I duh Jehovin došao je na Davida i od toga je dana ostao na njemu.+ Potom je Samuel ustao i otišao u Ramu.+14 I duh Jehovin odstupio je+ od Šaula. Tada je Jehova dao da ga počne mučiti zlovolja.*+15 A sluge su rekle Šaulu: “Evo, Bog je dopustio da te muči zlovolja.*16 Neka gospodar naš zapovjedi slugama svojim što stoje pred tobom da potraže čovjeka+ koji zna dobro svirati harfu,+ pa kad Bog dopusti da te obuzme zlovolja,* on će svirati i tebi će biti bolje!”17 I Šaul je rekao slugama svojim: “Nađite mi čovjeka koji zna dobro svirati i dovedite mi ga!”+18 A jedan od slugu njegovih odvratio je: “Evo, vidio sam da jedan od sinova Jišaja iz Betlehema zna dobro svirati.+ On je hrabar čovjek, junak+ i ratnik,+ a usto mudro govori,+ lijepa je stasa+ i Jehova je s njim.”+19 Tada je Šaul poslao glasnike Jišaju i poručio mu: “Pošalji mi svojega sina Davida, koji je kod stada!”+20 I Jišaj je uzeo magarca, natovario na njega kruh, mijeh+ vina i jare i poslao to Šaulu po sinu svojemu Davidu.+21 Tako je David došao k Šaulu i stupio u njegovu službu.+ On ga je veoma zavolio i postavio ga za štitonošu.+22 Potom je Šaul poručio Jišaju: “Pusti da David ostane kod mene u službi, jer je stekao moju naklonost!”23 I kad bi Bog dopustio da Šaula obuzme zlovolja,* David bi uzeo harfu i svirao. Tada bi Šaul osjetio olakšanje i bilo bi mu bolje, a zlovolja bi ga prošla.*+ Bilješke ^ Doslovno: “i počeo ga je uznemiravati zao duh od Jehove”.
