וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל, עַד-מָתַי אַתָּה מִתְאַבֵּל אֶל-שָׁאוּל, וַאֲנִי מְאַסְתִּיו, מִמְּלֹךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל; מַלֵּא קַרְנְךָ שֶׁמֶן, וְלֵךְ אֶשְׁלָחֲךָ אֶל-יִשַׁי בֵּית-הַלַּחְמִי--כִּי-רָאִיתִי בְּבָנָיו לִי, מֶלֶךְ.

vayomer YHWH el-Shmuel, ad-matay ata mit'abel el-sha'ul, va'ani me'astiv, mimlokh al-Yisrael; male karnkha shemen, velekh eshlakhakha el-Yishay beit-halakhmi--ki-ra'iti bevanav li, melekh.

And the LORD said unto Samuel: 'How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite; for I have provided Me a king among his sons.'

וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֵיךְ אֵלֵךְ, וְשָׁמַע שָׁאוּל וַהֲרָגָנִי; וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה, עֶגְלַת בָּקָר תִּקַּח בְּיָדֶךָ, וְאָמַרְתָּ, לִזְבֹּחַ לַיהוָה בָּאתִי.

vayomer Shmu'el eikh elekh, veshama Sha'ul vaharagani; vayomer YHWH, eglat bakar tikach beyadekha, ve'amarta, lizbo'ach laYHWH bati.

And Samuel said: 'How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me.' And the LORD said: 'Take a heifer with thee, and say: I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.

וְקָרָאתָ לְיִשַׁי, בַּזָּבַח; וְאָנֹכִי, אוֹדִיעֲךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-תַּעֲשֶׂה, וּמָשַׁחְתָּ לִי, אֵת אֲשֶׁר-אֹמַר אֵלֶיךָ.

vekharata leYishai, bazavakh; ve'anokhi, odi'akha et asher-ta'aseh, umashthta li, et asher-omar eleykha.

And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will tell thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto Me him whom I name unto thee.'

וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁמוּאֵל, אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה, וַיָּבֹא, בֵּית לָחֶם; וַיֶּחֶרְדוּ זִקְנֵי הָעִיר, לִקְרָאתוֹ, וַיֹּאמֶר, שָׁלֹם בּוֹאֶךָ.

vaya'as Shmu'el, et asher diber YHWH, vayavo, beit lekhem; vyecherdu ziknei ha'ir, likrato, vayomer, shalom bo'ekha.

And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said: 'Comest thou peaceably?'

וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁלוֹם, לִזְבֹּחַ לַיהוָה בָּאתִי, הִתְקַדְּשׁוּ, וּבָאתֶם אִתִּי בַּזָּבַח; וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת-יִשַׁי וְאֶת-בָּנָיו, וַיִּקְרָא לָהֶם לַזָּבַח.

vayomer shalom, lizbo'ach laYHWH bati, hitkadeshu, uvatem iti bazavakh; vayekadesh et-Yishai ve'et-banav, vayikra lahem lazavakh.

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.

וַיְהִי בְּבוֹאָם, וַיַּרְא אֶת-אֱלִיאָב; וַיֹּאמֶר, אַךְ נֶגֶד יְהוָה מְשִׁיחוֹ.

vayhi bevo'am, vayyar et-Eliyav; vayyomer, akh neged YHWH meshikho.

And it came to pass, when they were come, that he beheld Eliab, and said: 'Surely the LORD'S anointed is before Him.'

וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל, אַל-תַּבֵּט אֶל-מַרְאֵהוּ וְאֶל-גְּבֹהַּ קוֹמָתוֹ--כִּי מְאַסְתִּיהוּ: כִּי לֹא, אֲשֶׁר יִרְאֶה הָאָדָם--כִּי הָאָדָם יִרְאֶה לַעֵינַיִם, וַיהוָה יִרְאֶה לַלֵּבָב.

vayyomer YHWH el-Shmu'el, al-tabet el-mar'ehu ve'el-gevoh komato--ki me'astihu: ki lo, asher yir'eh ha'adam--ki ha'adam yir'eh la'enayim, vaYHWH yir'eh lalevav.

But the LORD said unto Samuel: 'Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for it is not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.'

וַיִּקְרָא יִשַׁי אֶל-אֲבִינָדָב, וַיַּעֲבִרֵהוּ לִפְנֵי שְׁמוּאֵל; וַיֹּאמֶר, גַּם-בָּזֶה לֹא-בָחַר יְהוָה.

vayyiqra Yishay el-Avinadav, vayya'avirehu lifnei Shmu'el; vayyomer, gam-bazeh lo-vakhar YHWH.

Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said: 'Neither hath the LORD chosen this.'

וַיַּעֲבֵר יִשַׁי, שַׁמָּה; וַיֹּאמֶר, גַּם-בָּזֶה לֹא-בָחַר יְהוָה.

vayya'aver Yishay, Shammah; vayyomer, gam-bazeh lo-vakhar YHWH.

Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said: 'Neither hath the LORD chosen this.'

10.

וַיַּעֲבֵר יִשַׁי שִׁבְעַת בָּנָיו, לִפְנֵי שְׁמוּאֵל; וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יִשַׁי, לֹא-בָחַר יְהוָה בָּאֵלֶּה.

vayya'aver yishay shiv'at banav, lifnei shemu'el; vayyomer shemu'el el-yishay, lo-vachar YHWH ba'elleh.

And Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse: 'The LORD hath not chosen these.'

11.

וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יִשַׁי, הֲתַמּוּ הַנְּעָרִים, וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד שָׁאַר הַקָּטָן, וְהִנֵּה רֹעֶה בַּצֹּאן; וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יִשַׁי שִׁלְחָה וְקָחֶנּוּ, כִּי לֹא-נָסֹב עַד-בֹּאוֹ פֹה.

vayyomer shemu'el el-yishay, hatammu hane'arim, vayyomer od sha'ar haqqatan, vehinneh ro'eh batzon; vayyomer shemu'el el-yishay shilchah veqachennu, ki lo-nasov ad-bo'o foh.

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.

וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיְבִיאֵהוּ וְהוּא אַדְמוֹנִי, עִם-יְפֵה עֵינַיִם וְטוֹב רֹאִי; וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה קוּם מְשָׁחֵהוּ, כִּי-זֶה הוּא.

vayyishlach vayvi'ehu vehu admoni, im-yefeh einayim vetov ro'i; vayyomer YHWH quum meshehu, ki-zeh hu.

And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of beautiful eyes, and goodly to look upon. And the LORD said: 'Arise, anoint him; for this is he.'

13.

וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-קֶרֶן הַשֶּׁמֶן, וַיִּמְשַׁח אֹתוֹ בְּקֶרֶב אֶחָיו, וַתִּצְלַח רוּחַ-יְהוָה אֶל-דָּוִד, מֵהַיּוֹם הַהוּא וָמָעְלָה; וַיָּקָם שְׁמוּאֵל, וַיֵּלֶךְ הָרָמָתָה.

vayyiqqach shemu'el et-qeren hashemen, vayyimshach oto beqerev echav, vattitzlach ruach-YHWH el-david, mehayyom hahu vama'elah; vayyaqom shemu'el, vayyelech haramatahh.

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren; and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

14.

וְרוּחַ יְהוָה סָרָה, מֵעִם שָׁאוּל; וּבִעֲתַתּוּ רוּחַ-רָעָה, מֵאֵת יְהוָה.

veruach YHWH sarah, me'im Sha'ul; uvi'atatu ruach-ra'ah, me'et YHWH.

Now the spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD terrified him.

15.

וַיֹּאמְרוּ עַבְדֵי-שָׁאוּל, אֵלָיו: הִנֵּה-נָא רוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים רָעָה, מְבַעִתֶּךָ.

vayomru avdei-Sha'ul, elav: hinneh-na ruach-Elohim ra'ah, meva'ettekha.

And Saul's servants said unto him: 'Behold now, an evil spirit from God terrifieth thee.

16.

יֹאמַר-נָא אֲדֹנֵנוּ, עֲבָדֶיךָ לְפָנֶיךָ--יְבַקְשׁוּ, אִישׁ יֹדֵעַ מְנַגֵּן בַּכִּנּוֹר; וְהָיָה, בִּהְיוֹת עָלֶיךָ רוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים רָעָה--וְנִגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ, וְטוֹב לָךְ.

yomar-na adonenu, avadekha lefanekha--yevakshu, ish yode'a menagen bakinor; vehayah, bihyot aleikha ruach-Elohim ra'ah--venigen beyado, vetov lakh.

Let our lord now command thy servants, that are before thee, to seek out a man who is a skilful player on the harp; and it shall be, when the evil spirit from God cometh upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.'

17.

וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל, אֶל-עֲבָדָיו: רְאוּ-נָא לִי, אִישׁ מֵיטִיב לְנַגֵּן, וַהֲבִיאוֹתֶם, אֵלָי.

vayomer Sha'ul, el-avadav: re'u-na li, ish metiv lenagen, vahavi'otem, elay.

And Saul said unto his servants: 'Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.'

18.

וַיַּעַן אֶחָד מֵהַנְּעָרִים וַיֹּאמֶר, הִנֵּה רָאִיתִי בֵּן לְיִשַׁי בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי, יֹדֵעַ נַגֵּן וְגִבּוֹר חַיִל וְאִישׁ מִלְחָמָה וּנְבוֹן דָּבָר, וְאִישׁ תֹּאַר; וַיהוָה, עִמּוֹ.

vaya'an echad mehan'arim vayomer, hineh ra'iti ben leyishay beit halachmi, yode'a nagen vegibor chayil ve'ish milchamah unevon davar, ve'ish to'ar; vYHWH, imo.

Then answered one of the young men, and said: 'Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is skilful in playing, and a mighty man of valour, and a man of war, and prudent in affairs, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.'

19.

וַיִּשְׁלַח שָׁאוּל מַלְאָכִים, אֶל-יִשָׁי; וַיֹּאמֶר, שִׁלְחָה אֵלַי אֶת-דָּוִד בִּנְךָ אֲשֶׁר בַּצֹּאן.

vayishlach sha'ul mal'achim, el-yishay; vayomer, shilcha elay et-david bincha asher batzon.

Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said: 'Send me David thy son, who is with the sheep.'

20.

וַיִּקַּח יִשַׁי חֲמוֹר לֶחֶם, וְנֹאד יַיִן, וּגְדִי עִזִּים, אֶחָד; וַיִּשְׁלַח בְּיַד-דָּוִד בְּנוֹ, אֶל-שָׁאוּל.

vayikach yishay chamor lehem, venod yayin, ugedi izim, echad; vayishlach beyad-david beno, el-sha'ul.

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.

וַיָּבֹא דָוִד אֶל-שָׁאוּל, וַיַּעֲמֹד לְפָנָיו; וַיֶּאֱהָבֵהוּ מְאֹד, וַיְהִי-לוֹ נֹשֵׂא כֵלִים.

vayavo david el-sha'ul, vaya'amod lefanav; vye'ahavehu me'od, vayehi-lo nose kelim.

And David came to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.

22.

וַיִּשְׁלַח שָׁאוּל, אֶל-יִשַׁי לֵאמֹר: יַעֲמָד-נָא דָוִד לְפָנַי, כִּי-מָצָא חֵן בְּעֵינָי.

vayishlach sha'ul el-yishay lemor ya'amad-na david lefanay ki-matsa khen be'enay

And Saul sent to Jesse, saying: 'Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.'

23.

וְהָיָה, בִּהְיוֹת רוּחַ-אֱלֹהִים אֶל-שָׁאוּל, וְלָקַח דָּוִד אֶת-הַכִּנּוֹר, וְנִגֵּן בְּיָדוֹ; וְרָוַח לְשָׁאוּל וְטוֹב לוֹ, וְסָרָה מֵעָלָיו רוּחַ הָרָעָה.

vehaya bihyot ruach-elohim el-sha'ul velaqach david et-hakinor venigen beyado veravach lesha'ul vetov lo vesara me'alav ruach hara'ah

And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand; so Saul found relief, and it was well with him, and the evil spirit departed from him.
