1 Samuel



The first book of Samuel otherwise called, the first book of the Kings, chapter 16, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 16

Vulgate


   1 Dixitque Dominus ad Samuelem: "Usquequo tu luges Saul, cum ego proiecerim eum, ne regnet super Israel? Imple cornu tuum oleo et veni, ut mittam te ad Isai Bethlehemitem; providi enim in filiis eius mihi regem".
   2 Et ait Samuel: "Quomodo vadam? Audiet enim Saul et interficiet me". Et ait Dominus: "Vitulam de armento tolles in manu tua et dices: "Ad immolandum Domino veni".
   3 Et vocabis Isai ad victimam; et ego ostendam tibi quid facias, et unges quemcumque monstravero tibi".
   4 Fecit ergo Samuel, sicut locutus est ei Dominus, venitque in Bethlehem. Et expaverunt seniores civitatis occurrentes ei dixeruntque: "Pacificusne ingressus tuus?".
   5 Et ait: "Pacificus; ad immolandum Domino veni. Sanctificamini et venite mecum, ut immolem". Sanctificavit ergo Isai et filios eius et vocavit eos ad sacrificium.
   6 Cumque ingressi essent, vidit Eliab et ait: "Absque dubio coram Domino est christus eius!".
   7 Et dixit Dominus ad Samuelem: "Ne respicias vultum eius neque altitudinem staturae eius, quoniam abieci eum; nec iuxta intuitum hominis iudico: homo enim videt ea, quae parent, Dominus autem intuetur cor".
   8 Et vocavit Isai Abinadab et adduxit eum coram Samuele, qui dixit: "Nec hunc elegit Dominus".
   9 Adduxit autem Isai Samma, de quo ait: "Etiam hunc non elegit Dominus".
   10 Adduxit itaque Isai septem filios suos coram Samuele, et ait Samuel ad Isai: "Non elegit Dominus ex istis".
   11 Dixitque Samuel ad Isai: "Numquid iam completi sunt filii?". Qui respondit: "Adhuc reliquus est minimus et pascit oves". Et ait Samuel ad Isai: "Mitte et adduc eum; nec enim discumbemus prius quam huc ille venerit".
   12 Misit ergo et adduxit eum; erat autem rufus et pulcher aspectu decoraque facie. Et ait Dominus: "Surge, unge eum; ipse est enim".
   13 Tulit igitur Samuel cornu olei et unxit eum in medio fratrum eius; et directus est spiritus Domini in David a die illa et in reliquum. Surgensque Samuel abiit in Rama.
   14 Spiritus autem Domini recessit a Saul, et exagitabat eum spiritus nequam a Domino.
   15 Dixeruntque servi Saul ad eum: "Ecce spiritus Dei malus exagitat te.
   16 Iubeat dominus noster, et servi tui, qui coram te sunt, quaerant hominem scientem psallere cithara, ut, quando arripuerit te spiritus Dei malus, psallat manu sua, et levius feras".
   17 Et ait Saul ad servos suos: "Providete mihi aliquem bene psallentem et adducite eum ad me".
   18 Et respondens unus de pueris ait: "Ecce vidi filium Isai Bethlehemitae scientem psallere et fortissimum robore et virum bellicosum et prudentem in verbis et virum pulchrum; et Dominus est cum eo".
   19 Misit ergo Saul nuntios ad Isai dicens: "Mitte ad me David filium tuum, qui est in pascuis".
   20 Tulitque Isai asinum cum pane et utre vini et haedo de capris uno et misit per manum David filii sui Sauli.
   21 Et venit David ad Saul et stetit coram eo; at ille dilexit eum nimis, et factus est eius armiger.
   22 Misitque Saul ad Isai dicens: "Stet David in conspectu meo; invenit enim gratiam in oculis meis".
   23 Igitur, quandocumque spiritus Dei arripiebat Saul, David tollebat citharam et percutiebat manu sua; et refocillabatur Saul et levius habebat: recedebat enim ab eo spiritus malus.

King James Version


   1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
   2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
   3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
   4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
   5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
   6 ¶ And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him.
   7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
   8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
   9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
   10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
   11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
   12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
   13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
   14 ¶ But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
   15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
   16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
   17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
   18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
   19 ¶ Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
   20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
   21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
   22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
   23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
