וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל עַד־מָתַי֙ אַתָּה֙ מִתְאַבֵּ֣ל אֶל־שָׁא֔וּל וַאֲנִ֣י מְאַסְתִּ֔יו מִמְּלֹ֖ךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל מַלֵּ֨א קַרְנְךָ֜ שֶׁ֗מֶן וְלֵ֤ךְ אֶֽשְׁלָחֲךָ֙ אֶל־יִשַׁ֣י בֵּֽית־הַלַּחְמִ֔י כִּֽי־רָאִ֧יתִי בְּבָנָ֛יו לִ֖י מֶֽלֶךְ׃
At sinabi ng Walang-Hanggan kay Samuel: “Hanggang kailan ka magdadalamhati para kay Saul, gayong itinakwil Ko na siya upang hindi na maghari sa Israel? Punuin mo ng langis ang iyong sungay, at humayo ka; isusugo kita kay Isai na taga-Bethlehem, sapagkat may nakita Akong hari para sa Akin sa kanyang mga anak.”
I Samuel
