And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. (16:1)

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. (16:13)

--Psalms--

Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people (89:19)

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him (89:20)

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him (89:21)

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him (89:22)

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him (89:23)

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted (89:24)

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers (89:25)

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation (89:26)

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth (89:27)

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him (89:28)

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven (89:29)

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments (89:30)

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments (89:31)

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes (89:32)

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail (89:33)

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips (89:34)

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David (89:35)

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me (89:36)

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah (89:37)
