‘犹大之地伯利恒啊！你在犹大的首要城乡中，绝不是最小的，因为将来有一位领袖要从你那里出来，他要牧养我的子民以色列。’”

就是说，我们的主明显是从犹大支派兴起的，而对于这个支派，摩西从来没有提到有关祭司的事。

基列属于我，玛拿西也属于我，以法莲是我的头盔，犹大是我的权杖。

犹大啊，你的兄弟们必称赞你，你的手必压住仇敌的颈项，你父亲的众子必向你下拜。犹大是个小狮子；我儿啊，你猎食而归，屈身蹲伏，躺如公狮，卧如母狮，谁敢惊动你？权杖必不离开犹大，王杖必不离他两脚之间，直到“细罗”来到，万民都要归顺他。

基列属于我，玛拿西也属于我，以法莲是我的头盔，犹大是我的权杖。

他却拣选了犹大支派，他所爱的锡安山。他建造他的圣所如同高峰，又像他永远建立的大地。他拣选了自己的仆人大卫，从羊圈中把他挑选出来，从所照顾的哺乳母羊当中把他带出来，为要牧养自己的子民雅各，自己的继业以色列。

莉亚的儿子是雅各的长子鲁本，还有西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦和西布伦。

耶西就派人去把他带来；他面色红润，双目清秀，样貌英俊。耶和华说：“起来膏抹他，就是这个人！”

耶和华对撒母耳说：“你为扫罗悲恸要到什么时候呢？我已经厌弃他作以色列的王。你把犄角装满膏油，去吧，我要派遣你到伯利恒人耶西那里，因为我在他的儿子中选定了一个王。”

因为神预先所知道的人，神也预先定下他们和他儿子的形像相似，使他儿子在众多弟兄中做长子；

你父亲的祝福胜过我祖先的祝福，达到永世山岭的极限。愿这些祝福临到约瑟的头上，就是临到从兄弟中分别出来的那位的头顶。

耶西让他的七个儿子都从撒母耳面前经过，撒母耳对耶西说：“耶和华没有拣选这些人。”
