More about these Bible coloring pages

When Samuel anointed David, he used a horn filled with oil. It's such a powerful moment in the Bible! 'Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him' (1 Samuel 16:13). The coloring pages show David being anointed, Samuel holding the oil, and even the sheep in the background. My third graders always connect with the story, especially when we talk about how God chose David over his brothers. Just last week, they colored while discussing how God sees our hearts. It sparked wonderful conversations about being chosen and having purpose. This free printable is a great way to reinforce the lesson during our Sunday school class.
