David Anointed King

1 Now the Lord said to Samuel, a“How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? bFill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to cJesse the Bethlehemite. For dI have provided Myself a king among his sons.”  
2 And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” But the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, a‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’  
3 Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you.”
4 So Samuel did what the Lord said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town atrembled at his coming, and said, b“Do you come peaceably?”  
5 And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. aSanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.  
6 So it was, when they came, that he looked at aEliab and bsaid, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”
