    1The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have chosen a king for myself among his sons."

    3Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you are to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate to you.
