After I Samuel 16:1-13
The chose one has
lost his authority.
The prophet sees
the sin, understands
the reason, but
grieves the loss,
the king who
appears a king,
who bears a king’s
image, the man
anointed by
the prophet
himself. And he
grieves. Then
the questions
come. How long,
man, will you
grieve? How long,
man, do you
grieve for man
I’ve rejected?
Fill your horn
with oil; a new
king is chosen.
