ઈશ્વરનાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે શમુએલ બેથલેહેમ ગયો. નગરના વડીલો જયારે તેને મળવા આવ્યા ત્યારે તેઓએ ધ્રૂજતાં ધ્રૂજતાં કહ્યું, “શું તું સલાહશાંતિપૂર્વક આવ્યો છે?”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १६:४
तब शमूएल ने यहोवा के कहने के अनुसार किया, और बैतलहम को गया। उस नगर के पुरनिये थरथराते हुए उससे मिलने को गए, और कहने लगे, “क्या तू मित्रभाव से आया है कि नहीं?”
