Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose 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 reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter [in mind.]

A brother offended [is harder to win] than a strong city, And contentions [are] like the bars of a castle.

Wrath [is] cruel and anger a torrent, But who [is] able to stand before jealousy?

Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also [is] vanity and grasping for the wind.

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

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

But when His own people heard [about this,] they went out to lay hold of Him, for they said, "He is out of His mind."

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For [the] [Lord does] not [see] as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Fierce witnesses rise up; They ask me [things] that I do not know.

But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.
