1 Samuel 16:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ Samuel did that which the Lord spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, “Do you come in peace?”

⁵ And he said, “I have come in peace to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and called them to the sacrifice.

⁶ When they came, he looked on Eliab, and said, “Surely the anointed of the Lord is before Him.”
