1 L’Éternel dit à Samuel: Quand cesseras-tu de pleurer sur Saül? Je l’ai rejeté, afin qu’il ne règne plus sur Israël. Remplis ta corne d’huile, et va; je t’enverrai chez Isaï, Bethléhémite, car j’ai vu parmi ses fils celui que je désire pour roi.
2 Samuel dit: Comment irai-je? Saül l’apprendra, et il me tuera. Et l’Éternel dit: Tu emmèneras avec toi une génisse, et tu diras: Je viens pour offrir un sacrifice à l’Éternel.
3 Tu inviteras Isaï au sacrifice; je te ferai connaître ce que tu dois faire, et tu oindras pour moi celui que je te dirai.
