4 And Samuel proceeded to do what Jehovah spoke. When he came to Bethʹle·hem+ the older men of the city began to tremble+ at meeting him, and so they said: “Does your coming mean peace?”+

18 And one of the attendants proceeded to answer and say: “Look! I have seen how a son of Jesʹse the Bethʹle·hem·ite is skilled at playing,+ and he is a valiant, mighty man+ and a man of war+ and an intelligent speaker+ and a well-formed man,+ and Jehovah is with him.”+

42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ is coming from the offspring of David,+ and from Bethʹle·hem+ the village where David used to be?”+
