16:13 The Spirit of the Lord came . . . upon David, as was consistently evident (e.g., 16:23; 17:48-54; 18:5, 12-16). The Spirit of the Lord had also come upon Saul (10:10) but had left him because of disobedience (16:14).
• Ramah: Samuel’s hometown (1:1).
The Spirit’s Presence
In the Old Testament, the Spirit of the Lord came upon a person or group when they were called to do a task or ordained for an office. The Spirit “came upon” the judges Othniel, Gideon, and Jephthah (Judg 3:10; 6:34; 11:29), empowering them for service. Saul and David both received the Spirit of God when they were anointed king (1 Sam 10:1, 9-10; 16:13). The Spirit would depart when the task had been completed or when the officeholder was removed from office. When Samuel anointed David as the next king (16:13), the Spirit left Saul (16:14), who was disobedient and had been rejected by God as king (13:7-14; 15:10-29; cp. 28:15; Judg 16:20). After David had sinned with Bathsheba, he prayed to be spared this same judgment (Ps 51:11).
In the New Testament, God’s Holy Spirit is given to all who put their faith in Christ for salvation, not just to individuals in specific roles (see Acts 2:14-21; 1 Cor 12:1-13; Eph 1:13-14). Still, the Spirit performs a similar role in equipping God’s servants to do the work that God has called them to do (see 1 Cor 12:7-10). The Old Testament departure of the Spirit from Saul tangibly demonstrates the need for the New Testament warnings not to sin against the Spirit and not to bring sorrow to the Spirit (see Mark 3:28-29; Eph 4:30; Heb 6:1-8).

(Occurrence 0) the horn of oil
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_took Shəmūʼēl DOM horn the,oil and,anointed DOM=him/it in/on/at/with,presence brothers,his and,came_mightily spirit YHWH to/towards Dāvid from,the,day (the)=that and,onward, and=he/it_rose_up Shəmūʼēl and=he/it_went the,Ramah,to )
The term “horn” was sometimes used to refer to a “flask” that was shaped like a horn and was used for holding water or oil. A flask of oil was used for anointing a king. See how you translated a similar phrase in 1 Samuel 16:1.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) Samuel rose up and went
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_took Shəmūʼēl DOM horn the,oil and,anointed DOM=him/it in/on/at/with,presence brothers,his and,came_mightily spirit YHWH to/towards Dāvid from,the,day (the)=that and,onward, and=he/it_rose_up Shəmūʼēl and=he/it_went the,Ramah,to )
It is implied that he rose up after they sat down to eat.
(Occurrence 0) The Spirit of Yahweh rushed on David
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_took Shəmūʼēl DOM horn the,oil and,anointed DOM=him/it in/on/at/with,presence brothers,his and,came_mightily spirit YHWH to/towards Dāvid from,the,day (the)=that and,onward, and=he/it_rose_up Shəmūʼēl and=he/it_went the,Ramah,to )
The phrase “rushed on” means Yahweh’s Spirit influenced David. In this case it means he enabled David to fulfill whatever Yahweh wanted him to do. See how you translated a similar phrase in 1 Samuel 10:6.
