The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve for Saul, when I have rejected him as king over Israel? [fn]Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have chosen a king for Myself among his sons.”

Now David was the son of the [fn]Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, named Jesse, who had eight sons. Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.

Then Jesse said to David his son, “Take for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread and run quickly to the camp to your brothers.

So David got up early in the morning, left the flock with a keeper, picked up the provisions and went just as Jesse had directed him. And he came to the encampment as the army was going out in battle formation shouting the battle cry.

Then Saul’s anger burned against Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a [fn]wayward, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse [over me] to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness?

There happened to be there [fn]a worthless and wicked man named Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. He blew a trumpet [to call Israel to revolt] and said,

“We have no portion in David

And no inheritance in the son of Jesse,

Every man to his tents, O Israel!”

Now these are the last words of David.

David the son of Jesse declares,

The man who was raised on high declares,

The anointed of the God of Jacob,

And the sweet psalmist of Israel,

So when all [the ten northern tribes of] Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people replied to the king, saying,

“What portion do we have in David?

We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse;

To your tents, O Israel!

Look now after [fn]your own house, David!”

Then Israel went back to their tents.

“We are yours, O David,

And with you, O son of Jesse!

Peace, peace be to you,

And peace be to him who helps you;

For your God helps you.”

Then David accepted and received them and made them officers of his troops.

Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.

When all Israel saw that the king did not listen and pay attention to them, the people answered him,

“What portion do we have in David?

We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse.

Every man to your tents, O Israel;

Now, [Rehoboam, descendant of] David, see to your own house.”

So all Israel went to their tents.

Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse.

The prayers of David son of Jesse are ended.

Then a Shoot (the Messiah) will spring from the stock of Jesse [David’s father],

And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.

Then in that day

The nations will make supplications to the Root of Jesse

Who will stand as a signal for the peoples;

And His resting place will be glorious.
