20. I have found David my servant. David
was discovered by the Lord among the sheepfolds and recognized as a man of
gracious spirit, full of faith and courage, and therefore fit to be leader in
Israel. With my holy oil have I anointed him. By the hand of Samuel,
David was anointed to be king long before he ascended the throne. The verse
must also be expounded of the Prince Emmanuel; he became the servant of the
Lord for our sakes; upon him rested the Spirit without measure. Jesus is also
the Lord’s Christ, or anointed. The oil with which he is anointed is the Spirit
of holiness.
