1 Samuel 16:4-5

New International Version

⁴ Samuel did what the Lord said. When he arrived at Bethlehem,^(A) the elders of the town trembled^(B) when they met him. They asked, “Do you come in peace?^(C)”

⁵ Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate^(D) yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
