You know I\u2019ve rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your flask with anointing oil and get going. I\u2019m sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I\u2019ve spotted the very king I want among his sons.\u201d 2-3\u201cI can\u2019t do that,\u201d said Samuel. \u201cSaul will hear about it and kill me.\u201d God said, \u201cTake a heifer with you and announce, \u2018I\u2019ve come to lead you in worship of God, with this heifer as a sacrifice.\u2019 Make sure Jesse gets invited. I\u2019ll let you know what to do next. I\u2019ll point out the one you are to anoint.\u201d 4Samuel did what God told him. When he arrived at Bethlehem, the town fathers greeted him, but apprehensively. \u201cIs there something wrong?\u201d 5\u201cNothing\u2019s wrong. I\u2019ve come to sacrifice this heifer and lead you in the worship of God. Prepare yourselves, be consecrated, and join me in worship.\u201d He made sure Jesse and his sons were also consecrated and called to worship. 6When they arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab and thought, \u201cHere he is! God\u2019s anointed!\u201d 7But God told Samuel, \u201cLooks aren\u2019t everything. Don\u2019t be impressed with his looks and stature. I\u2019ve already eliminated him. God judges persons differently than humans do. Men and women look at the face; God looks into the heart.\u201d 8Jesse then called up Abinadab and presented him to Samuel. Samuel said, \u201cThis man isn\u2019t God\u2019s choice either.\u201d 9Next Jesse presented Shammah. Samuel said, \u201cNo, this man isn\u2019t either.\u201d 10Jesse presented his seven sons to Samuel. Samuel was blunt with Jesse, \u201cGod hasn\u2019t chosen any of these.\u201d 11Then he asked Jesse, \u201cIs this it? Are there no more sons?\u201d \u201cWell, yes, there\u2019s the runt. But he\u2019s out tending the sheep.\u201d Samuel ordered Jesse, \u201cGo get him. We\u2019re not moving from this spot until he\u2019s here.\u201d 12Jesse sent for him. He was brought in, the very picture of health\u2014bright-eyed, good-looking. God said, \u201cUp on your feet! Anoint him! This is the one.\u201d 13Samuel took his flask of oil and anointed him, with his brothers standing around watching. The Spirit of God entered David like a rush of wind, God vitally empowering him for the rest of his life. Samuel left and went home to Ramah. David\u2014An Excellent Musician 14At that very moment the Spirit of God left Saul and in its place a black mood sent by God settled on him. He was terrified. 15-16Saul\u2019s advisors said, \u201cThis awful tormenting depression from God is making your life miserable. O Master, let us help. Let us look for someone who can play the harp. When the black mood from God moves in, he\u2019ll play his music and you\u2019ll feel better.\u201d 17Saul told his servants, \u201cGo ahead. Find me someone who can play well and bring him to me.\u201d 18One of the young men spoke up, \u201cI know someone. I\u2019ve seen him myself: the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, an excellent musician. He\u2019s also courageous, of age, well-spoken, and good-looking. And God is with him.\u201d 19So Saul sent messengers to Jesse requesting, \u201cSend your son David to me, the one who tends the sheep.\u201d 20-21Jesse took a donkey, loaded it with a couple of loaves of bread, a flask of wine, and a young goat, and sent his son David with it to Saul. David came to Saul and stood before him. Saul liked him immediately and made him his right-hand man. 22Saul sent word back to Jesse: \u201cThank you. David will stay here. He\u2019s just the one I was looking for. I\u2019m very impressed by him.\u201d 23After that, whenever the bad depression from God tormented Saul, David got out his harp and played. That would calm Saul down, and he would feel better as the moodiness lifted. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmNtMWRkRWY5aEdQLUdVeExRb3VZTHBrX3dod3xBQ3Jtc0trNW1hWTRJa3JFNTNGVE1mdWdZb0ZmLXlibjlRaURtaWc2QnM4TGNGelo3Z09FRWU2MFVvZnhtLW9nZElNeFlJNEdGQVJmbkIxODJGSC1kRVVtbkdhdm1lM2dUX2tFeEFvNC01Rm1laHRLV2FQNEd5TQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=fMguqnU7fJw\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 God addressed Samuel: \u201cSo, how long are you going to mope over Saul?
