The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel?
Fill your horn with oil, and go.
I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”
Samuel said, “How can I go?
If Saul hears it, he will kill me.”
The LORD said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’ Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do.
You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”
