The Lord says,“ Bethlehem Ephrathah, you might not be an important town in the nation of Judah. But out of you will come for me a ruler over Israel. His family line goes back to the early years of your nation. It goes all the way back to days of long ago.”

“ In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied.“ This is what the prophet has written. He said,

So Joseph went also. He went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea. That is where Bethlehem, the town of David, was. Joseph went there because he belonged to the family line of David.

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.

This is the written story of the family line of Jesus the Messiah. He is the son of David. He is also the son of Abraham.

Jesse’s family is like a tree that has been cut down. A new little tree will grow from its stump. From its roots a Branch will grow and produce fruit.

The Lord said to Samuel,“ How long will you be filled with sorrow because of Saul? I have refused to have him as king over Israel. Fill your animal horn with olive oil and go on your way. I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”

“ A new day is coming,” announces the Lord.“ At that time I will raise up for David’s royal line a godly Branch. He will be a King who will rule wisely. He will do what is fair and right in the land.

The Lord made a promise to David. It is a firm promise that he will never break. He said,“ After you die, I will place one of your own sons on your throne.

‘ I will make your family line continue forever. I will make your kingdom secure for all time to come.’ ”

One of the servants said,“ I’ve seen someone who knows how to play the harp. He is a son of Jesse from Bethlehem. He’s a brave man. He would make a good soldier. He’s a good speaker. He’s very handsome. And the Lord is with him.”

But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”

“ Young man, whose son are you?” Saul asked him. David said,“ I’m the son of Jesse from Bethlehem.”

Samuel did what the Lord said. He arrived at Bethlehem. The elders of the town met him. They were trembling with fear. They asked,“ Have you come in peace?”

So he asked Jesse,“ Are these the only sons you have?”“ No,” Jesse answered.“ My youngest son is taking care of the sheep.” Samuel said,“ Send for him. We won’t sit down to eat until he arrives.”So Jesse sent for his son and had him brought in. He looked very healthy. He had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the Lord said,“ Get up and anoint him. This is the one.”So Samuel got the animal horn that was filled with olive oil. He anointed David in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully on David. Samuel went back to Ramah.
