Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying,“ Has not the Lord anointed you ruler over his inheritance?

Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head and kissed him and said,“ Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince over his people Israel? And you shall reign over the people of the Lord and you will save them from the hand of their surrounding enemies. And this shall be the sign to you that the Lord has anointed you to be prince over his heritage.

Then Samuel took a flask of olive oil and poured it over Saul’s head. He kissed Saul and said,“ I am doing this because the Lord has appointed you to be the ruler over Israel, his special possession.

Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it out on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said,“ Hasn’t the LORD anointed you ruler over his inheritance?

Then Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said,“ Has the Lord not anointed you as ruler over His inheritance?

Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said:“ Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?

Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not that Jehovah hath anointed thee to be prince over his inheritance?

Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it out on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said,“ Hasn’t the Lord anointed you ruler over His inheritance?

Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured[ it] upon his head, and kissed him, and said,[ Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed thee[ to be] captain over his inheritance?

Then Samuel took a small container of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head. Samuel kissed him and said,“ The LORD has chosen you to lead his people Israel! You will rule over the LORD’s people and you will deliver them from the power of the enemies who surround them. This will be your sign that the LORD has chosen you as leader over his inheritance.

Then Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said,“ Hasn’t Yahweh anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?

So Samuel got the animal horn that was filled with olive oil. He anointed David in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully on David. Samuel went back to Ramah.

The Lord’ s people are his share. Jacob is the nation he has received.

He brought him from tending sheep to be the shepherd of his people Jacob. He made him the shepherd of Israel, his special people.

Obey the son completely, or he will be angry. Your way of life will lead to your death. His anger can blaze out at any moment. Blessed are all those who go to him for safety.

“ About this time tomorrow I will send you a man. He is from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him to be the king of my people Israel. He will save them from the power of the Philistines. I have seen how much my people are suffering. Their cry for help has reached me.”

In the past, Saul was our king. But you led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord said to you,‘ You will be the shepherd over my people Israel. You will become their ruler.’ ”

God has made everything. He is now bringing his many sons and daughters to share in his glory. It is only right that Jesus is the one to lead them into their salvation. That’s because God made him perfect by his sufferings.

May the Lord keep me from doing anything to harm his anointed king. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head. Then let’s leave.”

Now obey me completely. Keep my covenant. If you do, then out of all the nations you will be my special treasure. The whole earth is mine.But you will be a kingdom of priests to serve me. You will be my holy nation.’ That is what you must tell the Israelites.”

“ I am not on either side,” he replied.“ I have come as the commander of the Lord’ s army.” Then Joshua fell with his face to the ground. He asked the man,“ What message does my Lord have for me?”The commander of the Lord’ s army replied,“ Take off your sandals. The place you are standing on is holy ground.” So Joshua took them off.

Then the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down in front of the Lamb. Each one had a harp. They were holding golden bowls full of incense. They stand for the prayers of God’s people.

Now they sin more and more. They use their silver to make statues of gods for themselves. The statues come from their own clever ideas. Skilled workers make all of them. The people pray to these gods. They offer human sacrifices to them. They kiss the gods that look like calves.

In spite of what Samuel said, the people refused to listen to him.“ No!” they said.“ We want a king to rule over us.

Those who oppose the Lord will be totally destroyed. The Most High God will thunder from heaven. The Lord will judge the earth from one end to the other.“ He will give power to his king. He will give honor to his anointed one.”

Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss.

But I will keep 7,000 people in Israel for myself. They have not bowed down to Baal. And they have not kissed him.”

He said to his men,“ May the Lord keep me from doing a thing like that again to my master. He is the Lord’ s anointed king. So I promise that I will never lay my hand on him. The Lord has anointed him.”

But now your kingdom won’t last. The Lord has already looked for a man who is dear to his heart. He has appointed him king of his people. That’s because you haven’t obeyed the Lord’ s command.”

So all the people went across the Jordan River. Then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and said goodbye to him. And Barzillai went back home.

The God of Jacob is not like them. He gives his people everything they need. He made everything that exists. And that includes Israel. They are the people who belong to him. His name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.

Then the people asked for a king. He gave them Saul, son of Kish. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin. He ruled for 40 years.

The Lord has chosen the people of Jacob to be his own. He has chosen Israel to be his special treasure.

Let them have what they want. But give them a strong warning. Let them know what the king who rules over them will expect to be done for him.”

Elisha the prophet sent for a man from the group of the prophets. Elisha said to him,“ Tuck your coat into your belt. Take this bottle of olive oil with you. Go to Ramoth Gilead.

Then get the bottle. Pour the oil on his head. Announce to him,‘ The Lord says,“ I anoint you as king over Israel.” ’ After that, open the door and run away. Do it quickly!”So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead.When he arrived, he found the army officers sitting together.“ Commander, I have a message for you,” he said.“ For which one of us?” asked Jehu.“ For you, commander,” he replied.Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the prophet poured the oil on Jehu’s head. He announced,“ The Lord is the God of Israel. He says,‘ I am anointing you as king over the Lord’ s people Israel.

“ Go back and speak to Hezekiah. He is the ruler of my people. Tell him,‘ The Lord, the God of King David, says,“ I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. And I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to my temple.
