1 Samuel 16:3 in Context — 1 Samuel 16

1 E disse o SENHOR a Samuel: Até quando hás tu de chorar por Saul, havendo-o eu rejeitado para que não reine sobre Israel? Enche teu chifre de azeite, e vem, te enviarei a Jessé de Belém: porque de seus filhos me provi de rei.

2 E disse Samuel: Como irei? Se Saul o entender, me matará. O SENHOR respondeu: Toma contigo uma bezerra das vacas, e dize: A sacrificar ao SENHOR vim.

3 E chama a Jessé ao sacrifício, e eu te ensinarei o que hás de fazer; e ungirás a mim ao que eu te disser.

4 Fez pois Samuel como lhe disse o SENHOR: e logo que ele chegou a Belém, os anciãos da cidade lhe saíram a receber com medo, e disseram: É pacífica tua vinda?

5 E ele respondeu: Sim, venho a sacrificar ao SENHOR; santificai-vos, e vinde comigo ao sacrifício. E santificando ele a Jessé e a seus filhos, chamou-os ao sacrifício.
