“Hannah made this vow:
‘O LORD of hosts, if only you will look on the misery of your servant,
and remember me,
and not forget your servant, but will give to your servant a male child,
then I will set him before you as a nazirite until the day of his death.
He shall drink neither wine nor intoxicants, and no razor shall touch his head’”
(1 Samuel 1:11).
“Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing,
and gave it to David,
and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt”
(1 Samuel 18:4).
“Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David:
Thus says the LORD of hosts:
I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep
to be prince over my people Israel” (2 Samuel 7:8—NRSV).
“I have not dwelt in a house
from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day.
I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling”
(2 Samuel 7:6).
