1.  "So David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam.  Soon his brothers and all his relatives joined him there.  Then other began coming - men who were in trouble or in debt or who were just discontented - until David was the captain of about 400 men."

2.  "However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them."

3.  "But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart.  He will do everything I want him to  do."

4.  "And a voice from heaven said, "This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy."

5.  "Now the LORD said to Samuel, "You have mourned long enough for Saul.  I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem.  Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for  I have selected one of his sons to be my king."

6.  "In Bethlehem in Judea,: they said, "for this is what the prophet wrote: 'And you, O Bethlehem in the land of Judah, are not least among the ruling cities of Judah, for a ruler will come from you who will be the shepherd for my people Israel."

7.  "I am the good shepherd.  The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep."

8.  "David was the youngest son.  David's three oldest brothers stayed with Saul's army, but David went back and forth so he could help his father with the sheep in Bethlehem."

9.  "So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil.  And the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David from that day on.  Then Samuel returned to Ramah."

10.  "After his baptism, as Jesus came out of the water, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and settling on him."
