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 4 - Listen
1
And the angel
that talked
with me came again,
and waked
me, as a man
that is wakened
out of his sleep,
2
And said
unto me, What seest
thou? And I said,
I have looked,
and behold a candlestick
all of gold,
with a bowl
upon the top
of it, and his seven
lamps
thereon, and seven
pipes
to the seven
lamps,
which are upon the top
3
And two
olive trees
by it, one
upon the right
side of the bowl,
and the other
upon the left
4
So I answered
and spake
to the angel
that talked
with me, saying,
What are these, my lord?
5
Then the angel
that talked
with me answered
and said
unto me, Knowest
thou not what these be? And I said,
No, my lord.
6
Then he answered
and spake
unto me, saying,
This is the word
of the LORD
unto Zerubbabel,
saying,
Not by might,
nor by power,
but by my spirit,
saith
the LORD
of hosts.
7
Who art thou, O great
mountain?
before
Zerubbabel
thou shalt become a plain:
and he shall bring forth
the headstone
*
thereof with shoutings,
crying, Grace,
grace
8
Moreover the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
9
The hands
of Zerubbabel
have laid the foundation
of this house;
his hands
shall also finish
it; and thou shalt know
that the LORD
of hosts
hath sent
10
For who hath despised
the day
of small things?
for they shall rejoice,
and shall see
the plummet
*
in the hand
of Zerubbabel
with those seven;
they are the eyes
of the LORD,
which run to and fro
through the whole earth.
11
Then answered
I, and said
unto him, What are these two
olive trees
upon the right
side of the candlestick
and upon the left
12
And I answered
again,
and said
unto him, What be these two
olive
branches
which through
the two
golden
pipes
empty
the golden
13
And he answered
me and said,
Knowest
thou not what these be? And I said,
No, my lord.
14
Then said
he, These are the two
anointed
ones,
that stand
by the Lord
of the whole earth. |
