16 “Tomorrow about this time I shall send to you a man from the land of Benjamin,+ and you must anoint+ him as leader over my people Israel; and he must save my people from the hand of the Phi·lisʹtines,+ because I have seen [the affliction of] my people,* for their outcry has come to me.”+

10 Samuel then took the flask+ of oil and poured it out upon his head and kissed+ him and said: “Is it not because Jehovah* has anointed you as a leader+ over his inheritance?+

2 Both yesterday and previously+ while Saul happened to be king over us, you yourself became the one leading Israel out and bringing it in.+ And Jehovah proceeded to say to you, ‘You yourself will shepherd+ my people Israel, and you yourself will become leader+ over Israel.’”
