(12) So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.” (13) So as David stood there among his brothers, Samuel took the flask of olive oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil.

You’re only a boy, and he’s been a man of war since his youth.” (34) But David persisted. “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep and goats,” he said. “When a lion or a bear comes to steal a lamb from the flock, (35) I go after it with a club and rescue the lamb from its mouth.

(24) This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. (25) When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket. (26) Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” (27) “What is your name?” the man asked. He replied, “Jacob.” (28) “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel,[a] because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”
