14 And now your kingdom will not last.+ Jehovah will certainly find* for himself a man agreeable to his heart;+ and Jehovah will commission him as a leader+ over his people, because you did not keep what Jehovah commanded you.”+

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.”+

22 And after removing him,+ he raised up for them David as king,+ respecting whom he bore witness and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesʹse,+ a man agreeable to my heart,+ who will do all the things I desire.’+
