16 Eventually Jehovah said to Samuel: “For how long will you be mourning for Saul,+ while I, on the other hand, have rejected him from ruling as king over Israel?+ Fill your horn with oil+ and go. I shall send you to Jesʹse+ the Bethʹle·hem·ite, because I have provided among his sons a king for myself.”+
