1 Samuel 16:4-5
4 Samuel did what the Lord directed and went to Bethlehem.(A) When the elders of the town met him, they trembled(a) and asked, “Do(b) you come in peace?”(B)
5 “In peace,” he replied. “I’ve come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves(C) and come with me to the sacrifice.”(c) Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
