DAVID.

David, the son of Jesse, the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel.—II. Samuel, xxiii. 1.

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheep-folds:

From following the ewes great with young, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.—Psalm lxxviii. 70, 71.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him.—Psalm lxxxix. 20.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David.—Luke, i. 68, 69.

For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face.—Acts, ii. 25.
