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 6 - Listen
1
And I turned,
and lifted up
mine eyes,
and looked,
and, behold, there came
*
four
chariots
out
from between two
mountains;
and the mountains
were mountains
of brass.
2
In the first
chariot
were red
horses;
and in the second
chariot
black
horses;
3
And in the third
chariot
white
horses;
and in the fourth
chariot
grisled
and bay
horses.
4
Then I answered
and said
unto the angel
that talked
with me, What are these, my lord?
5
And the angel
answered
and said
unto me, These are the four
spirits
of the heavens,
which go forth
from standing
before the Lord
of all the earth.
6
The black
horses
which are therein go forth
into the north
country;
and the white
go forth
after
them; and the grisled
go forth
toward the south
country.
7
And the bay
went forth,
and sought
to go
that they might walk to and fro
through the earth:
and he said,
Get you hence,
walk to and fro
through the earth.
So they walked to and fro
through the earth.
8
Then cried
he upon
me, and spake
unto me, saying,
Behold,
these that go
toward the north
country
have quieted
my spirit
in the north
country.
9
And the word
of the LORD
came unto me, saying,
10
Take
of them of the captivity,
even of Heldai,
of Tobijah,
and of Jedaiah,
which are come
from Babylon,
and come
thou the same day,
and go
into the house
of Josiah
the son
of Zephaniah;
11
Then take
silver
and gold,
and make
crowns,
and set
them upon the head
of Joshua
the son
of Josedech,
the high
priest;
12
And speak
unto him, saying,
Thus speaketh
the LORD
of hosts,
saying,
Behold the man
whose name
is The BRANCH;
and he shall grow up
out of his place, and he shall build
the temple
of the LORD:
13
Even he shall build
the temple
of the LORD;
and he shall bear
the glory,
and shall sit
and rule
upon his throne;
and he shall be a priest
upon his throne:
and the counsel
of peace
shall be between them both.
14
And the crowns
shall be to Helem,
and to Tobijah,
and to Jedaiah,
and to Hen
the son
of Zephaniah,
for a memorial
in the temple
of the LORD.
15
And they that are far off
shall come
and build
in the temple
of the LORD,
and ye shall know
that the LORD
of hosts
hath sent
me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently
obey
the voice
of the LORD
your God. |
