DAVID ANOINTED KING.
LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 16:4-13.
GOLDEN TEXT—Man looketh on the
outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh
on the heart.—I Samuel 15:7 R. V.
After the events recorded in last
Sunday's lesson Samuel retired to
Ramah never again to see Saul’s face.
~ Samuel “mourned” (15:35) i. e., be-
wailed and lamented the deposed king.
It was noble for S.muel thus to be
grieved over Saul's sin, still, God had
work for him to do
row that *“worketh repentance’ which
is pleasing in the sight of God, but
that idle sorrow which spends itself
in unprofitable mourning is detrimen-
tal to man and a hindrance to the
kingdoa oi God (ch. 8:7; 15:1) M.a
may fail but the kingdom goes for
ward. We do not interpret verse 2
as suggesting any subterfuge on God's
part but rather that God refused to
pay any attention to Samuel's fear
God answers fear by giving us duties
to perform and in their performance
we are delivered from our fears.
I. David Chosen to Ee King, vv. 4-10.
Saul, the clamorous choice of the peo
ple, was not succeeded by David—*“the
man after God's own heart”—for sev-
eral years after this lesson. God's
will in this matter was shown to
Samuel progressively: (a) in chapter
13:14 Samuel is informed: that God
hath sought “a man after his own
heart;” (b) in 16:1 he is told to’ go
and find the king whom God had pro-
vided; (c¢) in verse 12 Samuel
is at last definitely told whom God
has selected. This selection is in ac-
cordance with the prophecy made cen-
turies before regarding the kingly
' scepter (Gen. 49:10).
was high treason, this ad Samuel was
about to perform, and Saul yet had
many friends, and supporters (w. 2).
God seems ‘to have permitted Samuel’
to use one avowed purpose to com
ceal.the real one, but “such a course is
one to use but sparingly” (Maclaren)
God can and does protect those whom
he sénds (Ps. 34:7) and “man 18 im-
mortal till his work is done.” Just

step at a time was sufficient and in
taking each step Samuel was to tell
the exact truth. »
