1 Samuel 16:4-6
New King James Version
4 So Samuel did what the Lord said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town (A)trembled at his coming, and said, (B)“Do you come peaceably?”
5 And he said, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. (C)Sanctify[a] yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.
6 So it was, when they came, that he looked at (D)Eliab and (E)said, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him!”
