1 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ самꙋи́лꙋ: доко́лѣ ты̀ пла́чеши ѡ҆ саꙋ́лѣ, а҆́зъ же ᲂу҆ничижи́хъ є҆го̀, не ца́рствовати во і҆и҃ли; напо́лни ро́гъ тво́й є҆ле́а и҆ прїидѝ, послю́ тѧ ко і҆ессе́ю до виѳлее́ма, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆зрѣ́хъ въ сынѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀ себѣ̀ царѧ̀. 2 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ: ка́кѡ пойдꙋ̀; и҆ ᲂу҆слы́шитъ саꙋ́лъ, и҆ ᲂу҆бїе́тъ мѧ̀. И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь: ю҆́ницꙋ ѿ волѡ́въ возмѝ въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ и҆ рече́ши: пожре́ти гдⷭ҇еви и҆дꙋ̀: 3 и҆ призове́ши і҆ессе́а и҆ сы́ны є҆гѡ̀ къ же́ртвѣ: и҆ а҆́зъ тѝ покажꙋ̀, ꙗ҆̀же сотвори́ши, и҆ пома́жеши мѝ, є҆го́же тѝ рекꙋ̀. 4 И҆ сотворѝ самꙋи́лъ всѧ̑, є҆ли̑ка речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: и҆ прїи́де въ виѳлее́мъ, и҆ ᲂу҆жасо́шасѧ старѣ̑йшины гра́да ѡ҆ прише́ствїи є҆гѡ̀ и҆ рѣ́ша: ми́ръ ли вхо́дъ тво́й, ѽ, прозорли́вче; 5 И҆ речѐ: ми́ръ: пожре́ти гдⷭ҇ꙋ прїидо́хъ: ѡ҆свѧти́тесѧ и҆ возвесели́тесѧ дне́сь со мно́ю. И҆ ѡ҆свѧтѝ і҆ессе́а и҆ сы́ны є҆гѡ̀, и҆ призва̀ ѧ҆̀ къ же́ртвѣ. 6 И҆ бы́сть внегда̀ вни́ти и҆̀мъ, и҆ ви́дѣ є҆лїа́ва и҆ речѐ: се́й ли пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ пома́занникъ є҆гѡ̀; 7 И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь самꙋи́лꙋ: не зрѝ на лицѐ є҆гѡ̀, нижѐ на во́зрастъ вели́чества є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ничижи́хъ є҆го̀: поне́же не та́кѡ зри́тъ человѣ́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ зри́тъ бг҃ъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ человѣ́къ зри́тъ на лицѐ, бг҃ъ же зри́тъ на се́рдце. 8 И҆ призва̀ і҆ессе́й а҆мїнада́ва и҆ предста́ви є҆го̀ пред̾ лицѐ самꙋи́ла. И҆ речѐ (самꙋи́лъ): нижѐ сегѡ̀ и҆збра̀ гдⷭ҇ь. 9 И҆ приведѐ і҆ессе́й саммаа̀. И҆ речѐ: и҆ сегѡ̀ не и҆збра̀ гдⷭ҇ь. 10 И҆ приведѐ і҆ессе́й се́дмь сынѡ́въ свои́хъ пред̾ самꙋи́ла. И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ ко і҆ессе́ю: не и҆збра̀ гдⷭ҇ь ѿ си́хъ. 11 И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ ко і҆ессе́ю: не доста́ло ли ᲂу҆жѐ дѣте́й; И҆ речѐ і҆ессе́й: є҆щѐ є҆́сть є҆ди́нъ ма́лъ, и҆ се́й пасе́тъ на па́жити. И҆ речѐ самꙋи́лъ ко і҆ессе́ю: послѝ и҆ приведѝ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не возлѧ́жемъ, до́ндеже прїи́детъ то́й сѣ́мѡ. 12 И҆ посла̀, и҆ введѐ є҆го̀: и҆ то́й че́рменъ, до́брыма ѻ҆чи́ма, и҆ бла́гъ взо́ромъ гдⷭ҇еви. И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ самꙋи́лꙋ: воста́ни и҆ пома́жи даві́да, ꙗ҆́кѡ се́й бла́гъ є҆́сть. 13 И҆ прїѧ̀ самꙋи́лъ ро́гъ со є҆ле́емъ и҆ пома́за є҆го̀ посредѣ̀ бра́тїи є҆гѡ̀. И҆ ноша́шесѧ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень над̾ даві́домъ ѿ тогѡ̀ днѐ и҆ пото́мъ. И҆ воста̀ самꙋи́лъ и҆ ѿи́де во а҆рмаѳе́мъ. 14 И҆ дх҃ъ гдⷭ҇ень ѿстꙋпѝ ѿ саꙋ́ла, и҆ давлѧ́ше є҆го̀ дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый ѿ гдⷭ҇а. 15 И҆ рѣ́ша ѻ҆́троцы саꙋ́лѡвы къ немꙋ̀: сѐ, нн҃ѣ дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый ѿ гдⷭ҇а да́витъ тѧ̀: 16 да рекꙋ́тъ рабѝ твоѝ нн҃ѣ пред̾ тобо́ю, и҆ взы́щꙋтъ господи́нꙋ на́шемꙋ мꙋ́жа зна́юща пѣ́ти въ гꙋ́сли: и҆ внегда̀ бꙋ́детъ дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый на тебѣ̀, и҆ тогда̀ да пое́тъ въ гꙋ́сли своѧ̑, и҆ бла́го тѝ бꙋ́детъ, и҆ ᲂу҆поко́итъ тѧ̀. 17 И҆ речѐ саꙋ́лъ ко ѻ҆трокѡ́мъ свои̑мъ: посмотри́те мѝ мꙋ́жа до́брѣ пою́ща и҆ введи́те є҆го̀ ко мнѣ̀. 18 И҆ ѿвѣща̀ є҆ди́нъ ѿ ѻ҆́трѡкъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: сѐ, ви́дѣхъ сы́на і҆ессе́ова и҆з̾ виѳлее́ма, и҆ то́й вѣ́сть пѣ́нїе, и҆ мꙋ́жъ разꙋ́менъ, и҆ боре́цъ, и҆ мꙋ́дръ въ словесѝ, и҆ мꙋ́жъ бла́гъ ви́домъ, и҆ гдⷭ҇ь съ ни́мъ. 19 И҆ посла̀ саꙋ́лъ вѣ́стники ко і҆ессе́ю, глаго́лѧ: ѿпꙋстѝ ко мнѣ̀ даві́да сы́на твоего̀, и҆́же ᲂу҆ ста́да твоегѡ̀. 20 И҆ взѧ̀ і҆ессе́й бре́мѧ хлѣ́бѡвъ и҆ мѣ́хъ вїна̀ и҆ козлѧ̀ ѿ ко́зъ є҆ди́но, и҆ посла̀ къ саꙋ́лꙋ рꙋко́ю даві́да сы́на своегѡ̀. 21 И҆ вни́де даві́дъ къ саꙋ́лꙋ, и҆ предстоѧ́ше пред̾ ни́мъ, и҆ возлюбѝ є҆го̀ ѕѣлѡ̀ саꙋ́лъ, и҆ бы́сть є҆мꙋ̀ носѧ́й ѻ҆рꙋ́жїе є҆гѡ̀. 22 И҆ посла̀ саꙋ́лъ ко і҆ессе́ю, глаго́лѧ: да предстои́тъ даві́дъ предо мно́ю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆брѣ́те благода́ть пред̾ ѻ҆чи́ма мои́ма. 23 И҆ бы́сть внегда̀ бы́ти дꙋ́хꙋ лꙋка́вꙋ на саꙋ́лѣ, и҆ взима́ше даві́дъ гꙋ́сли и҆ и҆гра́ше рꙋко́ю свое́ю, и҆ ѿдыха́ше саꙋ́лъ, и҆ бла́го є҆мꙋ̀ бѧ́ше, и҆ ѿстꙋпа́ше ѿ негѡ̀ дꙋ́хъ лꙋка́вый.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 16:18 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LI)

    … him the person of mankind, and hath heeded the bonds of all men, hath considered the offspring of death, hath adverted to the origin of iniquity, and he saith, "For, behold, in iniquities I was conceived." Was David born of adultery; being born of Jesse, a righteous man, and his own wife?

  2. Quotes verse 16:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily V)

    Though again it be Samuel who is doing this, He saith unto him, "Mourn not thou for Saul." Though for his own sister one entreat, when it is not fitting, he again shall have the same sort of answer as Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face." Let us not then be looking open-mouthed towards others.

  3. Quotes verse 16:14 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapters XXV–XXVI)

    … generally, their variable conditions, so, very frequently is the Spirit in the soul; since He does not abide with those who, on account of the instability of their will, easily reject the grace which they have received. An instance of this is seen in Saul, and the seventy elders of the children of Israel, except Eldad and Medad, with whom …

  4. Quotes verse 16:1 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXVIII)

    … Benjamin, or the tribe of Benjamin He chose not, out of which a king already had begun to be; for thence there had been chosen Saul; whence because of the very proximity of the time, when he had been rejected and refused, and David chosen, this might conveniently have been said; but yet was not said: but he hath named …
