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 Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουήλ, ἕως πότε σὺ πενθεῖς ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ, κᾀγω ἐξουδένωκα αὐτὸν, μὴ βασιλεύειν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ; πλῆσον τὸ κέρας σου ἐλαίου, καὶ δεῦρο ἀποστείλω σε πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ ἕως Βηθλεὲμ, ὅτι ἑώρακα ἐν τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐμοὶ βασιλέα.
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.
Καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πῶς πορευθῶ; καὶ ἀκούσεται Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος, δάμαλιν βοῶν λάβε ἐν τῇ χειρί σου, καὶ ἐρεῖς, θῦσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἥκω.
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 unto thee.
Καὶ καλέσεις τὸν Ἰεσσαὶ εἰς τὴν θυσίαν, καὶ γνωριῶ σοι ἃ ποιήσεις· καὶ χρίσεις ὃν ἂν εἴπω πρὸς σέ.
4
And Samuel did that which the Lord spake, and came to Beth–lehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
Καὶ ἐποίησε Σαμουὴλ πάντα ἃ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ Κύριος· καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Βηθλεὲμ, καὶ ἐξέστησαν οἱ πρεσβύτεροι τῆς πόλεως τῇ ἀπαντήσει αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπαν, ἢ εἰρήνη ἡ εἴσοδός σου ὁ βλέπων;
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.
Καὶ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη· θῦσαι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἥκω· ἁγιάσθητε καὶ εὐφράνθητε μετʼ ἐμοῦ σήμερον· καὶ ἡγίασε τὸν Ἰεσσαὶ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν θυσίαν.
6
And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.
Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ εἰσιέναι αὐτοὺς, καὶ εἶδε τὸν Ἑλιάβ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον Κυρίου χριστὸς αὐτοῦ.

1
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.
Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουὴλ, μὴ ἐπιβλέψῃς ἐπὶ τὴν ὄψιν αὐτοῦ, μηδὲ εἰς τὴν ἕξιν μεγέθους αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐξουδένωκα αὐτόν· ὅτι οὐχ ὡς ἐμβλέψεται ἄνθρωπος, ὄψεται ὁ Θεός· ὅτι ἄνθρωπος ὅψεται εἰς πρόσωπον, ὁ δὲ Θεὸς ὄψεται εἰς καρδίαν.
8
Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰεσσαὶ τὸν ʼΑμιναδὰβ, καὶ παρῆλθε κατὰ πρόσωπον Σαμουήλ. καὶ εἶπεν οὐδὲ τοῦτον ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός.
9
Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
Καὶ παρήγαγεν Ἰεσσαὶ τὸν Σαμά· καὶ εἶπε, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ οὐκ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος.
10
Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The Lord hath not chosen these.
Καὶ παρήγαγεν Ἰεσσαὶ τοὺς ἑπτὰ υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνώπιον Σαμουήλ· καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ, οὐκ ἐξελέξατο Κύριος ἐν τούτοις.
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.
Καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ, ἐκλελοίπασι τὰ παιδάρια; καὶ εἶπεν, ἔτι ὁ μικρὸς ἰδοὺ ποιμαίνει ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ· καὶ εἶπε Σαμουὴλ πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ, ἀπόστειλον καὶ λάβε αὐτὸν, ὅτι οὐ μὴ κατακλιθῶμεν ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν αὐτόν.
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 him: for this is he.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλε καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτόν· καὶ αὐτὸς πυῤῥάκης μετὰ κάλλους ὀφθαλμῶν, καὶ ἀγαθὸς ὁράσει Κυρίῳ· καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Σαμουὴλ, ἀνάστα καὶ χρίσον τὸν Δαυείδ, ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀγαθός.
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.
Καὶ ἔλαβε Σαμουὴλ τὸ κέρας τοῦ ἐλαίου, καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐφήλατο πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἐπὶ Δαυὶδ ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης καὶ ἐπάνω· καὶ ἀνέστη Σαμουὴλ, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ʼΑρμαθαίμ.
14
But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him.
Καὶ πνεῦμα Κυρίου ἀπέστη ἀπὸ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἔπνιγεν αὐτὸν πνεῦμα πονηρὸν παρὰ Κυρίου.
15
And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
Καὶ εἶπαν οἱ παῖδες Σαοὺλ πρὸς αὐτόν, ἰδοὺ δὴ, πνεῦμα Κυρίου πονηρὸν πνίγει σε·
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.
Εἰπάτωσαν δὴ οἱ δοῦλοί σου ἐνώπιόν σου, καὶ ζητησάτωσαν τῷ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν ἄνδρα εἰδότα ψάλλειν ἐν κινύρᾳ· καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ εἶναι πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἐπὶ σοὶ, καὶ ψαλῇ ἐν τῇ κινύρᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀγαθόν σοι ἔσται καὶ ἀναπαύσει σε.
17
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ, ἴδετε δή μοι ἄνδρα ὀρθῶς ψάλλοντα, καὶ εἰσαγάγετε αὐτὸν πρὸς μέ.
18
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth–lehemite, 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 is with him.
Καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παιδαρίων αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἑώρακα υἱὸν τῷ Ἰεσσαὶ Βηθλεεμίτην, καὶ αὐτὸν εἰδότα ψαλμὸν, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ συνετὸς, καὶ πολεμιστὴς, καὶ σοφὸς λόγῳ, καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀγαθὸς τῷ εἴδει, καὶ Κύριος μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
19
Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ, λέγων, ἀπόστειλον πρὸς μὲ τὸν υἱόν σου Δαυὶδ τὸν ἐν τῷ ποιμνίῳ σου.
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.
Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰεσσαὶ γόμορ ἄρτων, καὶ ἀσκὸν οἴνου, καὶ ἔριφον αἰγῶν ἕνα, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἐι· χειρὶ Δαυὶδ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ πρὸς Σαούλ.
21
And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
Καὶ εἰσῆλθε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Σαοὺλ, καὶ παρειστήκει ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἠγάπησεν αὐτὸν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ.
22
And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλε Σαοὺλ πρὸς Ἰεσσαὶ, λέγων, παριστάσθω δὴ Δαυὶδ ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ, ὅτι εὗρε χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς μου.
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 from him.
Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῷ εἶναι πνεῦμα πονηρὸν ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἐλάμβανε Δαυὶδ τὴν κινύραν, καὶ ἔψαλλεν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέψυχε Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἀγαθὸν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀφίστατο ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ πονηρόν.
