1 Samuel - Chapter 16

This chapter introduces one of the most famous Old Testament people in the story of Jesus - David, son of Jesse, chosen by God to be the next King of Israel.

Samuel is sent by God to find David, and he is sent to the town of Bethlehem, the town of David's ancestors Boaz and Ruth, which is to be the town in which Jesus will be born, because his parents are both descendants of David.
