The LORD God of Israel chose me out of my father’s entire family to become king over Israel and have a permanent dynasty. Indeed, he chose Judah as leader, and my father’s family within Judah, and then he picked me out from among my father’s sons and made me king over all Israel.

Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me from all my father’s house to be king over Israel forever. For he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah my father’s house, and among my father’s sons he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

“ Yet the Lord, the God of Israel, has chosen me from among all my father’s family to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen the tribe of Judah to rule, and from among the families of Judah he chose my father’s family. And from among my father’s sons the Lord was pleased to make me king over all Israel.

The LORD said to Samuel,“ How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons.”

Though Judah was the strongest among his brothers and a leader descended from him, the right of the firstborn belonged to Joseph.)

When they arrived, Samuel noticed Eliab and said to himself,“ Surely, here before the LORD stands his chosen king!”But the LORD said to Samuel,“ Don’t be impressed by his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way men do. People look on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel. But Samuel said,“ The LORD has not chosen this one, either.”Then Jesse presented Shammah. But Samuel said,“ The LORD has not chosen this one either.”Jesse presented seven of his sons to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse,“ The LORD has not chosen any of these.”Then Samuel said to Jesse,“ Is that all of the young men?” Jesse replied,“ There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse,“ Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.”So Jesse had him brought in. Now he was ruddy, with attractive eyes and a handsome appearance. The LORD said,“ Go and anoint him. This is the one!”So Samuel took the horn full of olive oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers. The Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David from that day onward. Then Samuel got up and went to Ramah.

Now you are willing to bless your servant’s dynasty so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O LORD, have blessed it and it will be blessed from now on into the future.”

“ So now, say this to my servant David:‘ This is what the LORD of hosts says: I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd to make you leader of my people Israel.I was with you wherever you went, and I defeated all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth.I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle them there; they will live there and not be disturbed any more. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginningand during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. Instead, I will give you relief from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that he himself will build a dynastic house for you.When the time comes for you to die, I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom.He will build a house for my name, and I will make his dynasty permanent.I will become his father and he will become my son. When he sins, I will correct him with the rod of men and with wounds inflicted by human beings.But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.Your house and your kingdom will stand before me permanently; your dynasty will be permanent.’”

Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies, your father’s sons will bow down before you.You are a lion’s cub, Judah, from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouches and lies down like a lion; like a lioness– who will rouse him?The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs; the nations will obey him.

So now, O LORD, may the promise you made about your servant and his family become a permanent reality! Do as you promised,

The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah and said,“ Isn’t David hiding on the hill of Hakilah near Jeshimon?”

He chose the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion, which he loves.He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above; as secure as the earth, which he established permanently.He chose David, his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds.He took him away from following the mother sheep, and made him the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and of Israel, his chosen nation.David cared for them with pure motives; he led them with skill.

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

He brought me out into a wide open place; he delivered me because he was pleased with me.

They rejoice in your name all day long, and are vindicated by your justice.For you give them splendor and strength. By your favor we are victorious.For our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.Then you spoke through a vision to your faithful followers and said:“ I have energized a warrior; I have raised up a young man from the people.I have discovered David, my servant. With my holy oil I have anointed him as king.My hand will support him, and my arm will strengthen him.No enemy will be able to exact tribute from him; a violent oppressor will not be able to humiliate him.I will crush his enemies before him; I will strike down those who hate him.He will experience my faithfulness and loyal love, and by my name he will win victories.I will place his hand over the sea, his right hand over the rivers.He will call out to me,‘ You are my father, my God, and the protector who delivers me.’I will appoint him to be my firstborn son, the most exalted of the earth’s kings.

Gilead belongs to me, as does Manasseh! Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my royal scepter.

For it is clear that our Lord is descended from Judah, yet Moses said nothing about priests in connection with that tribe.

He is not enamored with the strength of a horse, nor is he impressed by the warrior’s strong legs.The LORD takes delight in his faithful followers, and in those who wait for his loyal love.
