•Joshua & conquest
•Judges
•Saul’s rise & fall

11. 1 Samuel 16:1
1 The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will
you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected
him from being king over Israel? Fill your
horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse
the Bethlehemite, for I have provided for
myself a king among his sons.”

12. 1 Samuel 16:2-3
2 And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul
hears it, he will kill me.” And the LORD said,
“Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have
come to sacrifice to the LORD.’ 3 And invite
Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you
what you shall do. And you shall anoint for
me him whom I declare to you.”

13. 1 Samuel 16:4-5
4 Samuel did what the LORD commanded and
came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city
came to meet him trembling and said, “Do you
come peaceably?” 5 And he said, “Peaceably; I
have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate
yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.”
And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and
invited them to the sacrifice.

14. 1 Samuel 16:6-7
6 When they came, he looked on Eliab and
thought, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before
him.” 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not
look on his appearance or on the height of his
stature, because I have rejected him. For the
LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the
outward appearance, but the LORD looks on
the heart.”

15. 1 Samuel 16:8-10
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him
pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has
the LORD chosen this one.” 9 Then Jesse made
Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has
the LORD chosen this one.” 10 And Jesse made
seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And
Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not
chosen these.”

16. 1 Samuel 16:11-12
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons
here?” And he said, “There remains yet the
youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.”
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him,
for we will not sit down till he comes here.” 12
And he sent and brought him in. Now he was
ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was
handsome. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint
him, for this is he.”

17. 1 Samuel 16:13
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and
anointed him in the midst of his brothers.
And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon
David from that day forward. And Samuel
rose up and went to Ramah.

over endings, how would that

24. 1 Samuel 16:2-3
2 And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul
hears it, he will kill me.” And the LORD said,
“Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have
come to sacrifice to the LORD.’ 3 And invite
Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you
what you shall do. And you shall anoint for
me him whom I declare to you.”

25. 1 Samuel 16:4-5
4 Samuel did what the LORD commanded and
came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city
came to meet him trembling and said, “Do you
come peaceably?” 5 And he said, “Peaceably; I
have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate
yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice.”
And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and
invited them to the sacrifice.

26. 1 Samuel 15:22
22 And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in
obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to
obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen
than the fat of rams.

27. 1 Samuel 16:6-7
6 When they came, he looked on Eliab and
thought, “Surely the LORD’s anointed is before
him.” 7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not
look on his appearance or on the height of his
stature, because I have rejected him. For the
LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the
outward appearance, but the LORD looks on
the heart.”

28. The LORD looks on the heart…
•Poor in spirit
•Mourn over sin
•Meek/submissive/lay down “rights”
•Hunger & thirst for righteousness
•Cherishes (keeps) commandments
•Lays up treasures in heaven
•Right actions + right motives

29. 1 Samuel 16:8-10
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him
pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has
the LORD chosen this one.” 9 Then Jesse made
Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has
the LORD chosen this one.” 10 And Jesse made
seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And
Samuel said to Jesse, “The LORD has not
chosen these.”

30. 1 Samuel 16:11-12
11 Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Are all your sons
here?” And he said, “There remains yet the
youngest, but behold, he is keeping the sheep.”
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him,
for we will not sit down till he comes here.” 12
And he sent and brought him in. Now he was
ruddy and had beautiful eyes and was
handsome. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint
him, for this is he.”

31. 1 Samuel 16:13
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil and
anointed him in the midst of his brothers.
And the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon
David from that day forward. And Samuel
rose up and went to Ramah.

32. If I believed that God sees &
judges rightly, how would that
change my:
Prayers
Actions
Speech

New Beginnings Don’t Always
Look Like We Think They Should

33. Our Sovereign & Just Judge
1 Peter 2:22-25
He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his
mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in
return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but
continued entrusting himself to him who judges
justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the
tree, that we might die to sin and live to
righteousness. By his wounds you have been
healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have
now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your
souls.
