4 Samuel did what the LORD told him. When he arrived in Bethlehem, the elders of the city were afraid to meet him. They said, |Do you come in peace?| 5 He replied, |Yes, in peace. I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.| So he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 1 Samuel 16:4-5, New English Translation.
