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.”+

36 And to his son I shall give one tribe, in order that David my servant may continue having a lamp always before me in Jerusalem,+ the city that I have chosen for myself to put my name there.+

4 For, on account of David,+ Jehovah his God gave him a lamp+ in Jerusalem by raising his son up after him and keeping Jerusalem in existence,*+

7 And Jehovah did not want to bring the house of David to ruin,+ for the sake of the covenant+ that he had concluded with David, and just as he had said he would give him+ and his sons a lamp always.+
