1 Samuel 16:1

David Anointed King

1The Lord said to Samuel, aHow long will you grieve over Saul, since bI have rejected him from being king over Israel? cFill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, dfor I have provided for myself a king among his sons.”

1 Samuel 16:12-14

12And he sent and brought him in. Now he was eruddy and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the Lord said, fArise, anoint him, for this is he.” 13Then Samuel took gthe horn of oil hand anointed him in the midst of his brothers. iAnd the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.
