1 Samuel 24:1–22 Our story comes from the Bible. It is found in the part of the Bible called 1 Samuel ("First Samuel"). It is the first of two books in the Bible named after Samuel. King Saul was looking for David. Saul wanted to hurt David, so David had to hide. One day, David and his men were hiding in a cave. Then something surprising happened—Saul came into the cave! Saul did not know David was there. David’s men whispered, “This is your chance! You can hurt Saul!” But David did not want to hurt Saul. Instead, David quietly cut a small piece of Saul’s robe. Even that made David feel bad. David said, “I will not hurt Saul.” Later, David called out to Saul and showed him the piece of the robe.

One by one, the sons came before Samuel. The first son looked tall and strong. Samuel thought, “This must be the one!” But God said, “No. I do not look at people the way you do. People look at the outside, but I look at the heart.” One by one, each son came forward. But God did not choose any of them. Samuel asked, “Are these all your sons?” Jesse said, “There is one more. His name is David. He is out in the field taking care of the sheep.” So, they brought David in. David was the youngest. He did not look like a king. But God said, “This is the one.” Samuel poured oil on David’s head. This meant David was...

1 Samuel 17:34–37; Psalm 23 Our story comes from the Bible. It is found in the part of the Bible called 1 Samuel ("First Samuel"). It is the first of two books in the Bible named after Samuel.
