1Samuel 16 - Listen
1
And the LORD
said
unto Samuel,
How long wilt thou mourn
for Saul,
seeing I have rejected
him from reigning
over Israel?
fill
thine horn
with oil,
and go,
I will send
thee to Jesse
the Bethlehemite:
for I have provided
me a king
among his sons.
2
And Samuel
said,
How can I go?
if Saul
hear
it, he will kill
me. And the LORD
said,
Take
an heifer
*
with thee,
and say,
I am come
to sacrifice
to the LORD.
3
And call
Jesse
to the sacrifice,
and I will shew
thee what thou shalt do:
and thou shalt anoint
unto me him whom I name
4
And Samuel
did
that which the LORD
spake,
and came
to Bethlehem.
And the elders
of the town
trembled
at his coming,
and said,
Comest
thou peaceably?
5
And he said,
Peaceably:
I am come
to sacrifice
unto the LORD:
sanctify
yourselves, and come
with me to the sacrifice.
And he sanctified
Jesse
and his sons,
and called
them to the sacrifice.
6
And it came to pass, when they were come,
that he looked
on Eliab,
and said,
Surely the LORD'S
anointed
7
But the LORD
said
unto Samuel,
Look
not on his countenance,
or on the height
of his stature;
because I have refused
him: for the LORD seeth not as man
seeth;
for man
looketh
on the outward appearance,
but the LORD
looketh
on the heart.
8
Then Jesse
called
Abinadab,
and made him pass
before
Samuel.
And he said,
Neither hath the LORD
chosen
9
Then Jesse
made Shammah
to pass by.
And he said,
Neither hath the LORD
chosen
10
Again, Jesse
made seven
of his sons
to pass
before
Samuel.
And Samuel
said
unto Jesse,
The LORD
hath not chosen
11
And Samuel
said
unto Jesse,
Are here all
thy children?
And he said,
There remaineth
yet the youngest,
and, behold, he keepeth
the sheep.
And Samuel
said
unto Jesse,
Send
and fetch
him: for we will not sit down
till he come
hither.
12
And he sent,
and brought him in.
Now he was ruddy,
and withal
of a beautiful
countenance,
and goodly
to look to.
And the LORD
said,
Arise,
anoint
13
Then Samuel
took
the horn
of oil,
and anointed
him in the midst
of his brethren:
and the Spirit
of the LORD
came
upon David
from that day
forward.
So Samuel
rose up,
and went
to Ramah.
14
But the Spirit
of the LORD
departed
from Saul,
and an evil
spirit
from the LORD
troubled
15
And Saul's
servants
said
unto him, Behold now, an evil
spirit
from God
troubleth
16
Let our lord
now command
thy servants,
which are before
thee, to seek out
a man,
who is a cunning
player
on an harp:
and it shall come to pass, when the evil
spirit
from God
is upon thee, that he shall play
with his hand,
and thou shalt be well.
17
And Saul
said
unto his servants,
Provide
me now a man
that can play
well,
and bring
18
Then answered
one
of the servants,
and said,
Behold, I have seen
a son
of Jesse
the Bethlehemite,
that is cunning
in playing,
and a mighty
valiant man,
and a man
of war,
and prudent
in matters,
and a comely
person,
and the LORD
19
Wherefore Saul
sent
messengers
unto Jesse,
and said,
Send
me David
thy son,
which is with the sheep.
20
And Jesse
took
an ass
laden with bread,
and a bottle
of wine,
and a
kid,
*
and sent
them by
David
his son
unto Saul.
21
And David
came
to Saul,
and stood
before
him: and he loved
him greatly;
and he became his armourbearer.
*
22
And Saul
sent
to Jesse,
saying,
Let David,
I pray thee, stand
before
me; for he hath found
favour
in my sight.
23
And it came to pass, when the evil spirit
from God
was upon Saul,
that David
took
an harp,
and played
with his hand:
so Saul
was refreshed,
and was well,
and the evil
spirit
departed

Zechariah 14 - Listen
1
Behold, the day
of the LORD
cometh,
and thy spoil
shall be divided
in the midst
2
For I will gather
all nations
against Jerusalem
to battle;
and the city
shall be taken,
and the houses
rifled,
and the women
ravished;
*
and half
of the city
shall go forth
into captivity,
and the residue
of the people
shall not be cut off
from the city.
3
Then shall the LORD
go forth,
and fight
against those nations,
as when
he fought
in the day
of battle.
4
And his feet
shall stand
in that day
upon the mount
of Olives,
which is before
Jerusalem
on the east,
and the mount
of Olives
shall cleave
in the midst
thereof toward the east
and toward the west,
and there shall be a very
great
valley;
and half
of the mountain
shall remove
toward the north,
and half
of it toward the south.
5
And ye shall flee
to the valley
of the mountains;
for the valley
of the mountains
shall reach
unto Azal:
yea, ye shall flee,
like as ye fled
from before
the earthquake
in the days
of Uzziah
king
of Judah:
and the LORD
my God
shall come,
and all the saints
6
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the light
shall not be clear,
nor dark:
*
7
But it shall be one
day
which shall be known
to the LORD,
not day,
nor night:
but it shall come to pass, that at evening
time
it shall be light.
8
And it shall be in that day,
that living
waters
shall go out
from Jerusalem;
half
of them toward the former
sea,
and half
of them toward the hinder
sea:
in summer
and in winter
9
And the LORD
shall be king
over all the earth:
in that day
shall there be one
LORD,
and his name
one.
10
All the land
shall be turned
as a plain
from Geba
to Rimmon
south
of Jerusalem:
and it shall be lifted up,
and inhabited
in her place, from Benjamin's
gate
unto the place
of the first
gate,
unto the corner
gate,
and from the tower
of Hananeel
unto the king's
winepresses.
11
And men shall dwell
in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction;
but Jerusalem
shall be safely
inhabited.
12
And this shall be the plague
wherewith the LORD
will smite
all the people
that have fought
against Jerusalem;
Their flesh
shall consume away
while they stand
upon their feet,
and their eyes
shall consume away
in their holes,
and their tongue
shall consume away
in their mouth.
13
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that a great
tumult
from the LORD
shall be among them; and they shall lay hold
every one
on the hand
of his neighbour,
and his hand
shall rise up
against the hand
of his neighbour.
14
And Judah
also shall fight
at Jerusalem;
and the wealth
of all the heathen
round about
shall be gathered together,
gold,
and silver,
and apparel,
in great
abundance.
15
And so shall be the plague
of the horse,
of the mule,
of the camel,
and of the ass,
and of all the beasts
that shall be in these
tents,
as this plague.
16
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left
of all the nations
which came
against Jerusalem
shall even go up
from
year
to year
to worship
the King,
the LORD
of hosts,
and to keep
the feast
of tabernacles.
17
And it shall be, that whoso will not come up
of all the families
of the earth
unto Jerusalem
to worship
the King,
the LORD
of hosts,
even upon them shall be no rain.
18
And if the family
of Egypt
go not up,
and come
not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague,
wherewith the LORD
will smite
the heathen
that come not up
to keep
the feast
of tabernacles.
19
This shall be the punishment
of Egypt,
and the punishment
of all nations
that come not up
to keep
the feast
of tabernacles.
20
In that day
shall there be upon the bells
of the horses,
HOLINESS
UNTO THE LORD;
and the pots
in the LORD'S
house
shall be like the bowls
before
the altar.
21
Yea, every pot
in Jerusalem
and in Judah
shall be holiness
unto the LORD
of hosts:
and all they that sacrifice
shall come
and take
of them, and seethe
therein: and in that day
there shall be no more the Canaanite
in the house
of the LORD
of hosts. |
