The Lord said to Samuel, “·Go [Rise], ·appoint [anoint] him, because he is the one.”

¹³ So Samuel took the ·container [flask; ^Lhorn] of olive oil and ·poured it on Jesse’s youngest son to appoint [anointed] him in front of his brothers. From that day on, the Lord’s Spirit ·worked in [came powerfully upon] David. Samuel then went back to Ramah.
