1 Samuel 16

KJV

1  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ How long^{5704 4100} wilt thou⁸⁵⁹ mourn⁵⁶ for⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ seeing I⁵⁸⁹ have rejected³⁹⁸⁸ him from reigning^{4480 4427} over⁵⁹²¹ Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ fill⁴³⁹⁰ thine horn⁷¹⁶¹ with oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and go,¹⁹⁸⁰ I will send⁷⁹⁷¹ thee to⁴¹³ Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ the Bethlehemite:¹⁰²² for³⁵⁸⁸ I have provided⁷²⁰⁰ me a king⁴⁴²⁸ among his sons.¹¹²¹

2  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ How³⁴⁹ can I go?¹⁹⁸⁰ if Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, he will kill²⁰²⁶ me. And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Take³⁹⁴⁷ a heifer^{5697 1241} with³⁰²⁷ thee, and say,⁵⁵⁹ I am come⁹³⁵ to sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ to the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

3  And call⁷¹²¹ Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ to the sacrifice,²⁰⁷⁷ and I⁵⁹⁵ will show³⁰⁴⁵ thee ⁸⁵³ what⁸³⁴ thou shalt do:⁶²¹³ and thou shalt anoint⁴⁸⁸⁶ unto me him ⁸⁵³ whom⁸³⁴ I name⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ thee.

4  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ did^{6213 853} that which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke,¹⁶⁹⁶ and came⁹³⁵ to Bethlehem.¹⁰³⁵ And the elders²²⁰⁵ of the town⁵⁸⁹² trembled²⁷²⁹ at his coming,⁷¹²² and said,⁵⁵⁹ Comest⁹³⁵ thou peaceably?⁷⁹⁶⁵

5  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Peaceably:⁷⁹⁶⁵ I am come⁹³⁵ to sacrifice²⁰⁷⁶ unto the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ sanctify yourselves,⁶⁹⁴² and come⁹³⁵ with⁸⁵⁴ me to the sacrifice.²⁰⁷⁷ And he sanctified^{6942 853} Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ and his sons,¹¹²¹ and called⁷¹²¹ them to the sacrifice.²⁰⁷⁷

6  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when they were come,⁹³⁵ that he looked on^{7200 853} Eliab,⁴⁴⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Surely³⁸⁹ the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ anointed⁴⁸⁹⁹ is before⁵⁰⁴⁸ him.

7  But the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Samuel,⁸⁰⁵⁰ Look⁵⁰²⁷ not⁴⁰⁸ on⁴¹³ his countenance,⁴⁷⁵⁸ or on⁴¹³ the height¹³⁶⁴ of his stature;⁶⁹⁶⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ I have refused³⁹⁸⁸ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD seeth not³⁸⁰⁸ as⁸³⁴ man¹²⁰ seeth;⁷²⁰⁰ for³⁵⁸⁸ man¹²⁰ looketh⁷²⁰⁰ on the outward appearance,⁵⁸⁶⁹ but the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ looketh⁷²⁰⁰ on the heart.³⁸²⁴

8  Then Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ called^{7121 413} Abinadab,⁴¹ and made him pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Neither^{1571 3808} hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ chosen⁹⁷⁷ this.²⁰⁸⁸

9  Then Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ made Shammah⁸⁰⁴⁸ to pass by.⁵⁶⁷⁴ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Neither^{1571 3808} hath the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ chosen⁹⁷⁷ this.²⁰⁸⁸

10  Again, Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ made seven⁷⁶⁵¹ of his sons¹¹²¹ to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Samuel.⁸⁰⁵⁰ And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ chosen⁹⁷⁷ these.⁴²⁸

11  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ Are here all⁸⁵⁵² thy children?⁵²⁸⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ There remaineth⁷⁶⁰⁴ yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the youngest,⁶⁹⁹⁶ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he keepeth⁷⁴⁶² the sheep.⁶⁶²⁹ And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ Send⁷⁹⁷¹ and fetch³⁹⁴⁷ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ we will not³⁸⁰⁸ sit down⁵⁴³⁷ till⁵⁷⁰⁴ he come⁹³⁵ hither.⁶³¹¹

12  And he sent,⁷⁹⁷¹ and brought⁹³⁵ him in. Now he¹⁹³¹ was ruddy,¹³² and withal⁵⁹⁷³ of a beautiful³³⁰³ countenance,⁵⁸⁶⁹ and goodly²⁸⁹⁶ to look to.⁷²¹⁰ And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ anoint⁴⁸⁸⁶ him: for³⁵⁸⁸ this²⁰⁸⁸ is he.¹⁹³¹

13  Then Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ took^{3947 853} the horn⁷¹⁶¹ of oil,⁸⁰⁸¹ and anointed⁴⁸⁸⁶ him in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of his brethren:²⁵¹ and the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came⁶⁷⁴³ upon⁴¹³ David¹⁷³² from that day^{4480 3117 1931} forward.⁴⁶⁰⁵ So Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ rose up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Ramah.⁷⁴¹⁴

14  But the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ departed⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5973} Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ from^{4480 854} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ troubled¹²⁰⁴ him.

15  And Saul's⁷⁵⁸⁶ servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Behold²⁰⁰⁹ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ from God⁴³⁰ troubleth¹²⁰⁴ thee.

16  Let our lord¹¹³ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ command⁵⁵⁹ thy servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ which are before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thee, to seek out¹²⁴⁵ a man,³⁷⁶ who is a cunning³⁰⁴⁵ player⁵⁰⁵⁹ on a harp:³⁶⁵⁸ and it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when¹⁹⁶¹ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ from God⁴³⁰ is upon⁵⁹²¹ thee, that he shall play⁵⁰⁵⁹ with his hand,³⁰²⁷ and thou shalt be well.²⁸⁹⁵

17  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ Provide⁷²⁰⁰ me now⁴⁹⁹⁴ a man³⁷⁶ that can play⁵⁰⁵⁹ well,³¹⁹⁰ and bring⁹³⁵ him to⁴¹³ me.

18  Then answered⁶⁰³⁰ one²⁵⁹ of the servants,⁵²⁸⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have seen⁷²⁰⁰ a son¹¹²¹ of Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ the Bethlehemite,¹⁰²² that is cunning³⁰⁴⁵ in playing,⁵⁰⁵⁹ and a mighty¹³⁶⁸ valiant man,²⁴²⁸ and a man³⁷⁶ of war,⁴⁴²¹ and prudent⁹⁹⁵ in matters,¹⁶⁹⁷ and a comely⁸³⁸⁹ person,³⁷⁶ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is with⁵⁹⁷³ him.

19  Wherefore Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers⁴³⁹⁷ unto⁴¹³ Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Send⁷⁹⁷¹ me ⁸⁵³ David¹⁷³² thy son,¹¹²¹ which⁸³⁴ is with the sheep.⁶⁶²⁹

20  And Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ took³⁹⁴⁷ an ass²⁵⁴³ laden with bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and a bottle⁴⁹⁹⁷ of wine,³¹⁹⁶ and a²⁵⁹ kid,^{1423 5795} and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them by³⁰²⁷ David¹⁷³² his son¹¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ Saul.⁷⁵⁸⁶

21  And David¹⁷³² came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ him: and he loved¹⁵⁷ him greatly;³⁹⁶⁶ and he became¹⁹⁶¹ his armorbearer.^{3627 5375}

22  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let David,¹⁷³² I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ me; for³⁵⁸⁸ he hath found⁴⁶⁷² favor²⁵⁸⁰ in my sight.⁵⁸⁶⁹

23  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when¹⁹⁶¹ the evil spirit⁷³⁰⁷ from God⁴³⁰ was upon⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ that David¹⁷³² took^{3947 853} a harp,³⁶⁵⁸ and played⁵⁰⁵⁹ with his hand:³⁰²⁷ so Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ was refreshed,⁷³⁰⁴ and was well,²⁸⁹⁵ and the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ spirit⁷³⁰⁷ departed⁵⁴⁹³ from^{4480 5921} him.

1 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Σαμουηλ ἕως πότε σὺ πενθεῖς ἐπὶ Σαουλ κἀγὼ ἐξουδένωκα αὐτὸν μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ πλῆσον τὸ κέρας σου ἐλαίου καὶ δεῦρο ἀποστείλω σε πρὸς Ιεσσαι ἕως εἰς Βηθλεεμ ὅτι ἑόρακα ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοὶ βασιλεύειν

2 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πῶς πορευθῶ καὶ ἀκούσεται Σαουλ καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με καὶ εἶπεν κύριος δάμαλιν βοῶν λαβὲ ἐν τῇ χειρί σου καὶ ἐρεῖς θῦσαι τῷ κυρίῳ ἥκω

3 καὶ καλέσεις τὸν Ιεσσαι εἰς τὴν θυσίαν καὶ γνωριῶ σοι ἃ ποιήσεις καὶ χρίσεις ὃν ἐὰν εἴπω πρὸς σέ

4 καὶ ἐποίησεν Σαμουηλ πάντα ἃ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ κύριος καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθλεεμ καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῆς πόλεως τῇ ἀπαντήσει αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπαν εἰρήνη ἡ εἴσοδός σου ὁ βλέπων

5 καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη θῦσαι τῷ κυρίῳ ἥκω ἁγιάσθητε καὶ εὐφράνθητε μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ σήμερον καὶ ἡγίασεν τὸν Ιεσσαι καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν θυσίαν

6 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ αὐτοὺς εἰσιέναι καὶ εἶδεν τὸν Ελιαβ καὶ εἶπεν ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον κυρίου χριστὸς αὐτοῦ

7 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Σαμουηλ μὴ ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ὄψιν αὐτοῦ μηδὲ εἰς τὴν ἕξιν μεγέθους αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐξουδένωκα αὐτόν ὅτι οὐχ ὡς ἐμβλέψεται ἄνθρωπος ὄψεται ὁ θεός ὅτι ἄνθρωπος ὄψεται εἰς πρόσωπον ὁ δὲ θεὸς ὄψεται εἰς καρδίαν

8 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ιεσσαι τὸν Αμιναδαβ καὶ παρῆλθεν κατὰ πρόσωπον Σαμουηλ καὶ εἶπεν οὐδὲ τοῦτον ἐξελέξατο κύριος

9 καὶ παρήγαγεν Ιεσσαι τὸν Σαμα καὶ εἶπεν καὶ ἐν τούτῳ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο κύριος

10 καὶ παρήγαγεν Ιεσσαι τοὺς ἑπτὰ υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον Σαμουηλ καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο κύριος ἐν τούτοις

11 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς Ιεσσαι ἐκλελοίπασιν τὰ παιδάρια καὶ εἶπεν ἔτι ὁ μικρὸς ἰδοὺ ποιμαίνει ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς Ιεσσαι ἀπόστειλον καὶ λαβὲ αὐτόν ὅτι οὐ μὴ κατακλιθῶμεν ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτόν

12 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτόν καὶ οὗτος πυρράκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμῶν καὶ ἀγαθὸς ὁράσει κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Σαμουηλ ἀνάστα καὶ χρῖσον τὸν Δαυιδ ὅτι οὗτος ἀγαθός ἐστιν

13 καὶ ἔλαβεν Σαμουηλ τὸ κέρας τοῦ ἐλαίου καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐφήλατο πνεῦμα κυρίου ἐπὶ Δαυιδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ ἀνέστη Σαμουηλ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς Αρμαθαιμ

14 καὶ πνεῦμα κυρίου ἀπέστη ἀπὸ Σαουλ καὶ ἔπνιγεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα πονηρὸν παρὰ κυρίου

15 καὶ εἶπαν οἱ παῖδες Σαουλ πρὸς αὐτόν ἰδοὺ δὴ πνεῦμα κυρίου πονηρὸν πνίγει σε

16 εἰπάτωσαν δὴ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ζητησάτωσαν τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν ἄνδρα εἰδότα ψάλλειν ἐν κινύρᾳ καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἶναι πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἐπὶ σοὶ καὶ ψαλεῖ ἐν τῇ κινύρᾳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀγαθόν σοι ἔσται καὶ ἀναπαύσει σε

17 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ ἴδετε δή μοι ἄνδρα ὀρθῶς ψάλλοντα καὶ εἰσαγάγετε αὐτὸν πρὸς ἐμέ

18 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παιδαρίων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἑόρακα υἱὸν τῷ Ιεσσαι Βηθλεεμίτην καὶ αὐτὸν εἰδότα ψαλμόν καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ συνετός καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς καὶ σοφὸς λόγῳ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς τῷ εἴδει καὶ κύριος μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

19 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαουλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ιεσσαι λέγων ἀπόστειλον πρός με τὸν υἱόν σου Δαυιδ τὸν ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ σου

20 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ιεσσαι γομορ ἄρτων καὶ ἀσκὸν οἴνου καὶ ἔριφον αἰγῶν ἕνα καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ Δαυιδ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Σαουλ

21 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Δαυιδ πρὸς Σαουλ καὶ παρειστήκει ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὸν σφόδρα καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ

22 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Σαουλ πρὸς Ιεσσαι λέγων παριστάσθω δὴ Δαυιδ ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ ὅτι εὗρεν χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου

23 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ εἶναι πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαουλ καὶ ἐλάμβανεν Δαυιδ τὴν κινύραν καὶ ἔψαλλεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέψυχεν Σαουλ καὶ ἀγαθὸν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀφίστατο ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρόν

1 Dixitque Dominus ad Samuelem: Usquequo tu luges Saul, cum ego projecerim eum ne regnet super Israël? Imple cornu tuum oleo, et veni, ut mittam te ad Isai Bethlehemitem: providi enim in filiis ejus mihi regem.

2 Et ait Samuel: Quomodo vadam? audiet enim Saul, et interficiet me. Et ait Dominus: Vitulum de armento tolles in manu tua, et dices: Ad immolandum Domino veni.

3 Et vocabis Isai ad victimam, et ego ostendam tibi quid facias, et unges quemcumque monstravero tibi.

4 Fecit ergo Samuel sicut locutus est ei Dominus. Venitque in Bethlehem, et admirati sunt seniores civitatis occurrentes ei: dixeruntque: Pacificusne est ingressus tuus?

5 Et ait: Pacificus: ad immolandum Domino veni: sanctificamini, et venite mecum ut immolem. Sanctificavit ergo Isai et filios ejus, et vocavit eos ad sacrificium.

6 Cumque ingressi essent, vidit Eliab, et ait: Num coram Domino est christus ejus?

7 Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem: Ne respicias vultum ejus, neque altitudinem staturæ ejus: quoniam abjeci eum, nec juxta intuitum hominis ego judico: homo enim videt ea quæ parent, Dominus autem intuetur cor.

8 Et vocavit Isai Abinadab, et adduxit eum coram Samuele. Qui dixit: Nec hunc elegit Dominus.

9 Adduxit autem Isai Samma, de quo ait: Etiam hunc non elegit Dominus.

10 Adduxit itaque Isai septem filios suos coram Samuele: et ait Samuel ad Isai: Non elegit Dominus ex istis.

11 Dixitque Samuel ad Isai: Numquid jam completi sunt filii? Qui respondit: Adhuc reliquus est parvulus, et pascit oves. Et ait Samuel ad Isai: Mitte, et adduc eum: nec enim discumbemus priusquam huc ille veniat.

12 Misit ergo, et adduxit eum. Erat autem rufus, et pulcher aspectu, decoraque facie: et ait Dominus: Surge, unge eum: ipse est enim.

13 Tulit ergo Samuel cornu olei, et unxit eum in medio fratrum ejus: et directus est spiritus Domini a die illa in David, et deinceps. Surgensque Samuel abiit in Ramatha.

14 Spiritus autem Domini recessit a Saul, et exagitabat eum spiritus nequam a Domino.

15 Dixeruntque servi Saul ad eum: Ecce spiritus Dei malus exagitat te.

16 Jubeat dominus noster, et servi tui qui coram te sunt quærent hominem scientem psallere cithara, ut quando arripuerit te spiritus Domini malus, psallat manu sua, et levius feras.

17 Et ait Saul ad servos suos: Providete ergo mihi aliquem bene psallentem, et adducite eum ad me.

18 Et respondens unus de pueris, ait: Ecce vidi filium Isai Bethlehemitem scientem psallere, et fortissimum robore, et virum bellicosum, et prudentem in verbis, et virum pulchrum: et Dominus est cum eo.

19 Misit ergo Saul nuntios ad Isai, dicens: Mitte ad me David filium tuum, qui est in pascuis.

20 Tulit itaque Isai asinum plenum panibus, et lagenam vini, et hædum de capris unum, et misit per manum David filii sui Sauli.

21 Et venit David ad Saul, et stetit coram eo: at ille dilexit eum nimis, et factus est ejus armiger.

22 Misitque Saul ad Isai, dicens: Stet David in conspectu meo: invenit enim gratiam in oculis meis.

23 Igitur quandocumque spiritus Domini malus arripiebat Saul, David tollebat citharam, et percutiebat manu sua, et refocillabatur Saul, et levius habebat: recedebat enim ab eo spiritus malus.
