\n## FRANKLIN WATTSNEWYORK·LONDON●SYDNEY\n\n# Long ago,the people of Israel askedthe prophet Samuel to choose them aking.Samuel prayed and spoke to Godand,at God's wish,he chose a mancalled Saul to be the Israelites'king.\n\nSaul was a brave warrior,but he didnot always listen to God or follow Hiscommands.God became unhappy withSaul as king,and He spoke again to theprophet Samuel.  \n“You must visit the town ofBethlehem,\"He told Samuel.\"Takea heifer with you as a sacrifice andgo to the house of Jesse.Ask Jesse andhis family to help you with the sacrifice.Then I shall point out one of his sons,whom you must anoint with oil.Thisson shall one day be king of Israel.”  \nAnd Samuel set out for Bethlehem.  \n4  \nWhen he arrived,Samuel wentstraight to Jesse's house.He told Jesseand his family to prepare for thesacrifice and a feast.As the familygathered together,Samuel met Jesse'seldest son,Eliab.Surely,Samuelthought,this handsome man wouldbe God's choice.But God said to him,  \n6  \n“Don’'t judge Eliab by his appearance.He is not my choice.Remember,youcan only see what a man looks like.I can see into his heart.\"So Samuelpassed on to Jesse’s next son,and theone after that,and then yet another,until he had seen seven of his sons.But still God did not show His choice.  \n二  \n7  \n\"Haven’t you any other sons?\"Samuel asked Jesse.  \n“There is only my youngest,David,who is away looking after the sheep,\"replied Jesse.  \nSo David was sent for and broughtbefore Samuel.The boy was rosy-cheekedand bright-eyed.\"This is the one,\"saidGod to Samuel.Then the prophet aroseand anointed David with oil.From thatday onwards,the spirit of God filledDavid and was always with him.  \n蓝  \n8","cbCaia1FJwCdpD2E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia1FJwCdpD2E","pdf",2292071,36,"English","#
