For the lord

May God punish Abner and do so severely if I don’t do for David what the Lord swore to him:

but now your reign will not endure. The Lord has found a man loyal to Him,

and the Lord has appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not done what the Lord commanded.”

Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingship of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.

The Lord said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have selected a king from his sons.”

Nevertheless, many did believe in Him even among the rulers, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be banned from the synagogue.

By the hand

The Lord said,
“I have made a covenant with My chosen one;
I have sworn an oath to David My servant:

There I will make a horn grow for David;
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed one.
