Explanation:

These questions are based on biblical - text narratives about Samuel, Saul, and David in the Old Testament. Each question requires knowledge of the specific events and details from the relevant passages.
(1) In 1 Samuel 3:3 - 10, God called Samuel 3 times. Samuel initially thought it was Eli calling him.
(2) God told Samuel not to grieve over Saul, to fill his horn with oil, and that one of Jesse's sons would be king. So the correct options are a, b, f.
(3) Jesse's relatives include his sons (such as David), his father Obed, and his grandfather Boaz. Specific names may vary depending on the context, but these are well - known relatives.
(4) God instructed Samuel to go to Bethlehem to anoint the new king. So the answer is b.
(5) God looks at a person's heart. This is a well - known biblical principle.
(6) After being anointed king, David likely returned to his normal activities like tending sheep, as there was no immediate indication of a change in his daily life at that moment.
(7) When Saul was troubled by an evil spirit from God, it was suggested that he send for David, the son of Jesse.
(8) Saul's servants described David as playing the harp like an angel, being a mighty, brave man, knowing how to act right, and that the Lord was with him. So the answers are a, b, d, f.
(9) Based on the description, David was shy, nice - looking and modest.
(10) "Muster" means to gather. So when David's brothers were mustered into the army, they were gathered together.
(11) Goliath is the antagonist in this part of the story as he represents the opposing and threatening force to the Israelites.
