ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧૬:૧
ઈશ્વરે શમુએલને કહ્યું કે, “ક્યાં સુધી તું શાઉલને માટે શોક કરશે? મેં તેને ઇઝરાયલનાં રાજપદેથી નકાર્યો છે. તારું શિંગ તેલથી ભરીને જા. હું તને યિશાઈ બેથલેહેમી પાસે મોકલું છું. કેમ કે મેં તેના દીકરાઓમાંથી એકને મારે સારુ રાજા થવા નિર્માણ કરી રાખ્યો છે.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १६:१
यहोवा ने शमूएल से कहा, “मैंने शाऊल को इस्राएल पर राज्य करने के लिये तुच्छ जाना है, तू कब तक उसके विषय विलाप करता रहेगा? अपने सींग में तेल भरकर चल; मैं तुझको बैतलहमवासी यिशै के पास भेजता हूँ, क्योंकि मैंने उसके पुत्रों में से एक को राजा होने के लिये चुना है ।” (लूका 3:31,32)

In context

1The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided a king for myself among his sons.”

2Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me.” The LORD said, “Take a heifer with you, and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’

3Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. You shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.”
