David Page #3

You'll not see me again

until the day you die.

No, Samuel.

Samuel, no! Samuel, no!

Samuel, don't go.

Samuel.

Samuel...

... fill your horn with oil...

... and set out for Bethlehem.

There you will find a man

named Jesse.

Among his sons, there is a king.

Thank you for choosing our village

to make a sacrifice.

Your presence honors us.

And your name might be?

I'm Jesse of Bethlehem.

My sons and I would be honored

if you took supper with us.

I'd like to meet your sons.

Will they all be there?

Oh, yes. They'll all be there.

- My eldest is Eliab.

- Eliab.

- Then Abinadab.

- Abinadab.

- Shammah.

- Shammah.

- Joel.

- Joel.

- Nehemiah.

- Nehemiah.

- Seriah.

- Seriah.

And Azariah.

Azariah.

A fine group.

A fine group. Strong young men.

You must be very proud.

Is this all? Are these all your sons?

Oh, no. My youngest and smallest

stays out overnight with the sheep.

His name is David.

Lord...

... this boy?

Is this the one?

Don 't consider his size or his age.

The Lord sees not as man sees.

Man looks

at the outward appearance.

God sees into the hearts.

Who goes there?

A friend.

My name is Samuel.

Are you David?

Samuel the prophet?

Yes.

Please, sir, allow me

to sit with you.

I regret having nothing to offer you

except a piece of my blanket.

So you've heard of me?

You anointed our beloved King Saul.

I could tell by your face

the minute I saw you...

... that you were much traveled.

More in the realm of the spirit

than on the surface of the earth.

But those are the best journeys.

So you come on business

with my father and brothers?

I was sent by the Lord.

The Lord, our God,

has sent me to anoint you...

... as the one to rule over all Israel...

... and to build

a great new kingdom.

I think I've heard the voice

of God in these hills.

- But this...

- This is God's will.

If it's God's will, then I have

no cause to be troubled.

Then you'll let me anoint you?

What of King Saul...

... who has done

so many brave things...

... and has many capable sons already?

What's going to happen to him?

Only the Lord God knows Saul's fate.

With the blessing...

... of almighty God...

... honoring the names

of our fathers...

... Abraham...

... Isaac...

... and Jacob...

... I anoint you...

... king of all Israel...

... King David.

The Lord has anointed you

as prince over his people.

Listen to the word of the Lord.

Obey his commandments.

Your enemies will flee...

... and your kingdom shall prosper.

You don't think God has abandoned me?

I'll be robbed of my crown.

My life.

A sword is at my throat.

Father, some evil spirit is troubling you.

Oh, yes, an evil spirit sent

by God himself.
