1 Samuel 16:2-5
New International Version
2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.”
The Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ 3 Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show(A) you what to do. You are to anoint(B) for me the one I indicate.”
4 Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem,(C) the elders of the town trembled(D) when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?(E)”
5 Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate(F) yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
