20 And Shaul said to Schmuel, But yes, I have obeyed the
voice of vuvh, and have gone on the derech that vuvh sent
me, and have brought Agag the melech of Amalek, and
have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the
best of the things that should have been utterly destroyed,
to sacrifice to vuvh your Elohim in Gilgal.
22 And Schmuel said, Has vuvh as great a delight in burnt
offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of vuvh?
See, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hear than the
fat of rams.
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have
rejected the word of vuvh, He has also rejected you from
being melech.
24 And Shaul said to Schmuel, I have sinned: for I have
transgressed the order of vuvh, and your words: because I
feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 Now therefore, I beg you, pardon my sin, help me
make teshuvah again, that I may worship vuvh.
26 And Schmuel said to Shaul, I will not make teshuvah
with you: for you have rejected the word of vuvh, and
vuvh has rejected you from being melech over kol
Yisrael.
27 And as Schmuel turned around to go away, he laid
hold upon the robe of his mantle, and it tore.
28 And Schmuel said to him, vuvh has torn the malchut of
Yisrael from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor
of yours, that is better than you.
29 And also the Strength of Yisrael will not lie nor repent:
for He is not a man that He should repent.
30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I beg
you, before the zechanim of my people, and before
Yisrael, and make teshuvah with me, that I may worship
vuvh your Elohim.
31 So Schmuel made teshuvah with Shaul; and then Shaul
worshipped vuvh.
32 Then said Schmuel, Bring here to me Agag the melech
of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him with delight.
And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33 And Schmuel said, As your sword has made women
childless, so shall your eema be childless among women.
And Schmuel cut Agag in pieces before vuvh in Gilgal.
34 Then Schmuel went to Ramah; and Shaul went up to
his bayit to Givat of Shaul.
35 And Schmuel came no more to see Shaul until the day
of his death: nevertheless Schmuel mourned for Shaul:
and vuvh regretted that He had made Shaul melech over
kol Yisrael.
16
And vuvh said to Schmuel, How long will you mourn
for Shaul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over
kol Yisrael? Fill your horn with oil, and go, I will send
you to Yishai the Beth-Lechemite: for I have provided for
Me a melech from among his sons.
2 And Schmuel said, How can I go? If Shaul will hear, he
will kill me. And vuvh said, Take a heifer with you, and
say, I have come to sacrifice to vuvh.
3 And call Yishai to the sacrifice, and I will show you
what you shall do: and you shall anoint for Me the very
one whom I name to you.
4 And Schmuel did that which vuvh spoke, and came to
Beth-Lechem. And the zechanim of the town trembled at

- 197 -
his coming, and said, Are you coming in shalom?
5 And he said, In shalom: I have come to sacrifice to
vuvh: set yourselves apart, and come with me to the
sacrifice. And he set apart Yishai and his sons, and called
them to the sacrifice.
6 And it came to pass, when they had come, that he
looked on Eliav, and said, Surely vuvh's anointed is
before Him.
7 But vuvh said to Schmuel, Look not on his appearance,
or on his height; because I have refused him: for vuvh
sees not as mankind sees; for mankind looks on the
outward appearance, but vuvh looks on the lev.
8 Then Yishai called Aviniadav, and made him pass
before Schmuel. And he said, Neither has vuvh chosen
this one.
9 Then Yishai made Shammah to pass by. And he said,
Neither has vuvh chosen this one.
10 Again, Yishai made seven of his sons to pass before
Schmuel. And Schmuel said to Yishai, vuvh has not
chosen any of these.
11 And Schmuel said to Yishai, Are all your children
here? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and,
see, he keeps the sheep. And Schmuel said to Yishai,
Send and get him: for we will not sit down until he comes
here.
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was darkskinned
and reddish, with a beautiful appearance, and tovlooking.
And vuvh said, Arise, and anoint him: for this is
the one.
13 Then Schmuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him
in the midst of his brothers: and the Ruach of vuvh came
upon Dawid from that day forward. So Schmuel rose up,
and went to Ramah.
14 But the Ruach of vuvh departed from Shaul, and an
evil ruach from vuvh troubled him.
15 And Shaul's avadim said to him, See now, an evil
ruach from Elohim troubles you.
16 Let our master now command your avadim, which are
before you, to seek out a man, who is a skilled player on a
harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil ruach from
Elohim is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and
you shall be well.
17 And Shaul said to his avadim, Provide me now a man
that can play well, and bring him to me.
18 Then answered one of the avadim, and said, See, I
have seen a son of Yishai the Beth-Lechemite, that is
skilled in playing, and a mighty brave man, and a man of
war, and prudent in all matters, and a handsome person,
and vuvh is with him.
19 So Shaul sent messengers to Yishai, and said, Send me
Dawid your son, which is with the sheep.
20 And Yishai took a donkey loaded with lechem, and a
bottle of wine, and a goat, and sent them by Dawid his
son to Shaul.
21 And Dawid came to Shaul, and stood before him: and
he loved him greatly; and he became his armor-bearer.
22 And Shaul sent to Yishai, saying, Let Dawid, stand
before me; for he has found favor in my sight.
23 And it came to pass, when the evil ruach from Elohim
was upon Shaul, that Dawid took a harp, and played with
his hand: so Shaul was refreshed, and was well, and the
evil ruach departed from him.
