1 Samuel 16

c. 1025 BCSamuel anoints David, Jesse’s youngest son, the Spirit rushes upon him, and David plays the lyre for troubled Saul.

The LORD sends Samuel to Bethlehem to anoint a son of Jesse. Passing over the impressive older brothers — for “the LORD looks on the heart” — Samuel anoints David, the youngest, a shepherd, and the Spirit of the LORD rushes upon him. Meanwhile the Spirit departs from Saul, and a tormenting spirit troubles him; David is brought to court to soothe the king with his lyre.
