从前扫罗作我们的王的时候，领导以色列人行动的是你。耶和华也曾对你说：‘你要牧养我的子民以色列，要作以色列的领袖。’”

‘犹大地的伯利恒啊！你在犹大的领袖中，并不是最小的，因为必有一位领袖从你那里出来，牧养我的子民以色列。’”

我与以色列众人一起走过的地方，我可曾对以色列的一个支派的官长，就是我所吩咐要牧养我子民以色列的，说：你们为什么不给我建造一座香柏木的殿宇呢？’

他领他出来，使他不再跟着那些母羊，却要牧养他的子民雅各，和他的产业以色列。

所以，求你赐给仆人一颗明辨的心，可以判断你的子民，能辨别是非，因为谁能判断你这众多的子民呢？”

耶和华对撒母耳说：“你为扫罗悲哀要到几时呢？我已经弃绝他作以色列的王了。你把膏油盛满了角，然后去吧！我要差派你到伯利恒人耶西那里去，因为我在他的众子中，已经预定了一个为我作王。”

伯利恒以法他啊！你在犹大诸城中虽然细小（“伯利恒……细小”有古卷作“以法他家啊，你在犹大诸族中虽然细小”），必有一位从你那里出来，为我作以色列的统治者；他的根源从太初，从亘古就有了。（本节在《马索拉文本》为5:1）

他必站立起来，靠着耶和华的能力，靠着耶和华他神之名的威严，牧养他的羊群；他们必然安居，因为那时他必尊大，直到地极。

看哪！我已经立了他作万族的见证人，为万族的首领和司令。

撒母耳就拿起盛油的角，在他的兄长中膏立他。从那天起，耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫。后来撒母耳动身往拉玛去了。

可以在他们面前出入；带领他们出入，免得耶和华的会众好像没有牧人的羊一样。”
