Now then do it: for YY hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Yisrael out of the hand of the Plishtim, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
And YY said unto Shmuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Yisrael? fill thine shofar with oil, and go, I will send thee to Yishai the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: YY hath sought him a man after his own heart, and YY hath Commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which YY Commanded thee.
To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Binyamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Yisrael, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Plishtim: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
Then David put garrisons in Syria of Dammesek: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And YY preserved David whithersoever he went.
