And Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.

But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.

And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed become king over us? Or shall you indeed rule over us? So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

And his brothers were jealous of him; but his father treasured up these words.

A brother offended is like a strong city, and their contentions are like the bars of a fortress.

Wrath is cruel, and anger is overflowing; but who is able to stand before jealousy?

Again, I considered all labor, and every successful work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and striving of spirit.

and a man's enemies will be those of his own household.

For he knew that they had delivered Him over because of envy.

But when His next of kin heard about this, they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, He is beside Himself.

But Jehovah said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance nor at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For man does not see as He sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Jehovah looks at the heart.

Violent witnesses rose up; they asked of me things which I have not known.

But these speak evil of things they do not know; and whatever they understand naturally, like animals without reason, in these things they corrupt themselves.
