1 Samuel 16:1
David Anointed King
1The Lord said to Samuel, a“How 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.”2 Samuel 7:8-17
8Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, eI took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince ▼▼Or leader
over my people Israel. 9 gAnd I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. 10And I will appoint a place for my people Israel hand will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place iand be disturbed no more. jAnd violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, 11 kfrom the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And lI will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that mthe Lord will make you a house. 12 nWhen your days are fulfilled and oyou lie down with your fathers, pI will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 qHe shall build a house for my name, and rI will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 sI will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, tI will discipline him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15 ubut my steadfast love will not depart from him, vas I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. 16 wAnd your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. ▼▼Septuagint; Hebrew you
yYour throne shall be established forever.’” 17In accordance with all these words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David. Luke 1:70
