1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to ^aJesse the ^bBeth-lehemite: for I have provided me a ^cking among his sons.

  2 But thou, ^aBeth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of ^bJudah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ^cruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from ^deverlasting.

  42 Hath not the scripture said, That ^aChrist cometh of the seed of ^bDavid, and out of the town of ^cBethlehem, where David was?

  10 And behold, he shall be ^aborn of Mary, at ^bJerusalem which is the ^cland of our forefathers, she being a ^dvirgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and ^econceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.
