“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 Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.”

And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? — God calls Samuel away from his mourning over Saul. God has 'rejected' Saul from the kingship. 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 — God directs Samuel to go to Jesse of Bethlehem with a horn of anointing oil. God has 'provided' ('raah) a king among Jesse's sons. This marks the beginning of David's elevation.
