Too many battles, Saul was winning,
He conquered the land of many enemies.
All of Israel’s people were overjoyed about it,
Because they had someone to lead them in the way.
Soon, the haughtiness of the king appeared,
The command of God, he disobeyed,
He took richness that the Lord did not give instruction,
He was out of the will of God, in another direction.
Saul has been rebuked by the prophet Samuel,
This one said that he would not be king over Israel.
God will anoint someone faithful,
One who hears God’s voice, and his wish will do.
God said to Samuel to travel through the land,
Samuel will anoint a new God servant.
Until Jesse’s family, Samuel traveled,
And some of his sons, he evaluated,
None of them, God approved.
Then came the smallest of all,
That one who was despised by the others.
It came to Samuel the little David.
That one is whom I chose. God said.
Little David was anointed,
And for him, the kingdom of Israel was predicted.
