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.”+

28 At this Samuel said to him: “Jehovah has ripped away+ the royal rule of Israel from off you today, and he will certainly give it to a fellowman of yours who is better than 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.”+

12 Accordingly he sent and had him come. Now he was ruddy,+ a young man with* beautiful eyes and handsome in appearance. Then Jehovah said: “Get up, anoint him, for this is he!”+

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.’+
