And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. 4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. 3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD. 2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. Text, 1 Samuel 16:1-5, KJV: 1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
What did David do after he had been anointed? This story of David, then, begins with an arrival by Samuel the prophet, an affirmation by the Lord that none of Jesse’s sons would be king except David, and ends with an anointing. In fact, there is no record in Scripture just when David did become a believer, but the important thing is that he lived and died as a genuine believer. Every believer in the Lord came and will come to faith in Him personally, uniquely, and individually.
Not every person will have a “shepherd-to-scepter” life or encounter, such as what happened to David. From a humble beginning in life, God used him to accomplish many things, eventually becoming king over all Israel. Introduction: David was a very colorful character in the Bible.
