The First Book of Samuel 16: 1-13

16:1 E díxolle o Señor a Samuel: "Ata cando vai chorar por Xaúl, aínda que o rexeitei, para que non reinase sobre Israel? Enche o teu corno de aceite e achégase, para que te envíe a Isai de Belén. Porque me proporcionei un rei de entre os seus fillos".
16:2 E Samuel dixo: "Como vou ir? Pois Xaúl oirá falar diso, e matarame”. E dixo o Señor: "Ti tomarás, pola túa man, un tenreiro do rabaño. E dirás, "Cheguei para inmolar ao Señor".
16:3 E chamarás a Xesé para o sacrificio, e revelareiche o que debes facer. E unxirás a quen eu che indique”.
16:4 Polo tanto, Samuel fixo o que lle dixo o Señor. E foi a Belén, e os anciáns da cidade preguntáronse. E coñecelo, eles dixeron, "¿É pacífica a túa chegada??”
16:5 E dixo: "É pacífico. Cheguei para inmolar ao Señor. Sexa santificado, e ven comigo ao sacrificio". Despois santificou a Iesé e aos seus fillos, e chamounos ao sacrificio.
16:6 E cando entraran, viu a Eliab, e dixo, "¿Podería ser o Cristo ante o Señor??”
16:7 E díxolle o Señor a Samuel: "Non debes mirar con favor na súa cara, nin na altura da súa estatura. Pois eu o rexeitei. Tampouco xulgo polo aspecto dun home. Pois o home ve esas cousas que son aparentes, pero o Señor mira o corazón”.
16:8 E Isai chamou a Abinadab, and he brought him before Samuel. E dixo, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.”
16:9 Then Jesse brought Shammah. And he said about him, “And the Lord has not chosen this one.”
16:10 And so Jesse brought his seven sons before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.”
16:11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Could the sons now be completed?” But he responded, “There still remains a little one, and he pastures the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse: “Send and bring him. For we shall not recline to eat, until he arrives here.”
16:12 Polo tanto, he sent and brought him. Now he was ruddy, and beautiful to behold, and with a stately face. And the Lord said, "Erguerse, anoint him! For it is he.”
16:13 Polo tanto, Samuel took the horn of oil, and he anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord was guiding David from that day and thereafter. And Samuel rose up, and he went away to Ramah.
