1 Samuel 1:1--19:24

1:1
Now there was a certain
<0259>
man
<0376>
of Ramathaimzophim
<07436>_,
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and his name
<08034>
[was] Elkanah
<0511>_,
the son
<01121>
of Jeroham
<03395>_,
the son
<01121>
of Elihu
<0453>_,
the son
<01121>
of Tohu
<08459>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zuph
<06689>_,
an Ephrathite
<0673>_:
1:2
And he had two
<08147>
wives
<0802>_;
the name
<08034>
of the one
<0259>
[was] Hannah
<02584>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the other
<08145>
Peninnah
<06444>_:
and Peninnah
<06444>
had children
<03206>_,
but Hannah
<02584>
had no children
<03206>_.
1:3
And this
<01931>
man
<0376>
went up
<05927> (8804)
out of his city
<05892>
yearly
<03117> <03117>
to worship
<07812> (8692)
and to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
in Shiloh
<07887>_.
And the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
the priests
<03548>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[were] there. {yearly: Heb. from year to year}
1:4
And when the time
<03117>
was that Elkanah
<0511>
offered
<02076> (8799)_,
he gave
<05414> (8804)
to Peninnah
<06444>
his wife
<0802>_,
and to all her sons
<01121>
and her daughters
<01323>_,
portions
<04490>_:
1:5
But unto Hannah
<02584>
he gave
<05414> (8799)
a
<0259>
worthy
<0639>
portion
<04490>_;
for he loved
<0157> (8804)
Hannah
<02584>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
had shut up
<05462> (8804)
her womb
<07358>_.
{worthy: or, double}
1:6
And her adversary
<06869>
also provoked
<03707> (8765)
her sore
<03708>_,
for to make her fret
<07481> (8687)_,
because the LORD
<03068>
had shut
<05462> (8804)
up
<01157>
her womb
<07358>_.
{provoked: Heb. angered}
1:7
And [as] he did
<06213> (8799)
so year
<08141>
by year
<08141>_,
when
<01767>
she went up
<05927> (8800)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
so she provoked
<03707> (8686)
her; therefore she wept
<01058> (8799)_,
and did not eat
<0398> (8799)_.
{when...: or, from the time that she, etc: Heb. from her going up}
1:8
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Elkanah
<0511>
her husband
<0376>
to her, Hannah
<02584>_,
why weepest
<01058> (8799)
thou? and why eatest
<0398> (8799)
thou not? and why is thy heart
<03824>
grieved
<03415> (8799)_?
[am] not I better
<02896>
to thee than ten
<06235>
sons
<01121>_?
1:9
So Hannah
<02584>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
after
<0310>
they had eaten
<0398> (8800)
in Shiloh
<07887>_,
and after
<0310>
they had drunk
<08354> (8800)_.
Now Eli
<05941>
the priest
<03548>
sat
<03427> (8802)
upon a seat
<03678>
by a post
<04201>
of the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
1:10
And she [was] in bitterness
<04751>
of soul
<05315>_,
and prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)
sore
<01058> (8800)_.
{in...: Heb. bitter of soul}
1:11
And she vowed
<05087> (8799)
a vow
<05088>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
if thou wilt indeed
<07200> (8800)
look
<07200> (8799)
on the affliction
<06040>
of thine handmaid
<0519>_,
and remember
<02142> (8804)
me, and not forget
<07911> (8799)
thine handmaid
<0519>_,
but wilt give
<05414> (8804)
unto thine handmaid
<0519>
a man
<0582>
child
<02233>_,
then I will give
<05414> (8804)
him unto the LORD
<03068>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_,
and there shall no razor
<04177>
come
<05927> (8799)
upon his head
<07218>_.
{a man...: Heb. seed of men}
1:12
And it came to pass, as she continued
<07235> (8689)
praying
<06419> (8692)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
that Eli
<05941>
marked
<08104> (8802)
her mouth
<06310>_.
{continued...: Heb. multiplied to pray}
1:13
Now Hannah
<02584>_,
she spake
<01696> (8764)
in her heart
<03820>_;
only her lips
<08193>
moved
<05128> (8801)_,
but her voice
<06963>
was not heard
<08085> (8735)_:
therefore Eli
<05941>
thought
<02803> (8799)
she had been drunken
<07910>_.
1:14
And Eli
<05941>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken
<07937> (8691)_?
put away
<05493> (8685)
thy wine
<03196>
from thee.
1:15
And Hannah
<02584>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
No, my lord
<0113>_,
I [am] a woman
<0802>
of a sorrowful
<07186>
spirit
<07307>_:
I have drunk
<08354> (8804)
neither wine
<03196>
nor strong drink
<07941>_,
but have poured out
<08210> (8799)
my soul
<05315>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
{of a sorrowful...: Heb. hard of spirit}
1:16
Count
<05414> (8799)
not thine handmaid
<0519>
for
<06440>
a daughter
<01323>
of Belial
<01100>_:
for out of the abundance
<07230>
of my complaint
<07879>
and grief
<03708>
have I spoken
<01696> (8765)
hitherto. {complaint: or, meditation}
1:17
Then Eli
<05941>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
in peace
<07965>_:
and the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
grant
<05414> (8799)
[thee] thy petition
<07596>
that thou hast asked
<07592> (8804)
of him.
1:18
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let thine handmaid
<08198>
find
<04672> (8799)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_.
So the woman
<0802>
went
<03212> (8799)
her way
<01870>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and her countenance
<06440>
was no more [sad].
1:19
And they rose up
<07925> (0)
in the morning
<01242>
early
<07925> (8686)_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to their house
<01004>
to Ramah
<07414>_:
and Elkanah
<0511>
knew
<03045> (8799)
Hannah
<02584>
his wife
<0802>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
her.
1:20
Wherefore it came to pass, when the time
<03117>
was come
<08622>
about after Hannah
<02584>
had conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
that she bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Samuel
<08050>_,
[saying], Because I have asked
<07592> (8804)
him of the LORD
<03068>_.
{when...: Heb. in revolution of days} {Samuel: that is, Asked of God}
1:21
And the man
<0376>
Elkanah
<0511>_,
and all his house
<01004>_,
went up
<05927> (8799)
to offer
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
the yearly
<03117>
sacrifice
<02077>_,
and his vow
<05088>_.
1:22
But Hannah
<02584>
went not up
<05927> (8804)_;
for she said
<0559> (8804)
unto her husband
<0376>_,
[I will not go up] until the child
<05288>
be weaned
<01580> (8735)_,
and [then] I will bring
<0935> (8689)
him, that he may appear
<07200> (8738)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and there abide
<03427> (8804)
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
1:23
And Elkanah
<0511>
her husband
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Do
<06213> (8798)
what seemeth
<05869>
thee good
<02896>_;
tarry
<03427> (8798)
until thou have weaned
<01580> (8800)
him; only the LORD
<03068>
establish
<06965> (8686)
his word
<01697>_.
So the woman
<0802>
abode
<03427> (8799)_,
and gave her son
<01121>
suck
<03243> (8686)
until she weaned
<01580> (8800)
him.
1:24
And when she had weaned
<01580> (8804)
him, she took him up
<05927> (8686)
with her, with three
<07969>
bullocks
<06499>_,
and one
<0259>
ephah
<0374>
of flour
<07058>_,
and a bottle
<05035>
of wine
<03196>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
him unto the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>
in Shiloh
<07887>_:
and the child
<05288>
[was] young
<05288>_.
1:25
And they slew
<07819> (8799)
a bullock
<06499>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
the child
<05288>
to Eli
<05941>_.
1:26
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh
<0994>
my lord
<0113>_,
[as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
my lord
<0113>_,
I [am] the woman
<0802>
that stood
<05324> (8737)
by thee here, praying
<06419> (8692)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
1:27
For this child
<05288>
I prayed
<06419> (8694)_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath given
<05414> (8799)
me my petition
<07596>
which I asked
<07592> (8804)
of him:
1:28
Therefore also I have lent
<07592> (8689)
him to the LORD
<03068>_;
as long as he liveth
<03117>
he shall be lent
<07592> (8803)
to the LORD
<03068>_.
And he worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>
there. {lent him: or, returned him, whom I have obtained by petition} {he shall...: or, he whom I have obtained by petition shall be returned}
2:1
And Hannah
<02584>
prayed
<06419> (8691)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My heart
<03820>
rejoiceth
<05970> (8804)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
mine horn
<07161>
is exalted
<07311> (8804)
in the LORD
<03068>_:
my mouth
<06310>
is enlarged
<07337> (8804)
over mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_;
because I rejoice
<08055> (8804)
in thy salvation
<03444>_.
2:2
[There is] none holy
<06918>
as the LORD
<03068>_:
for [there is] none beside
<01115>
thee: neither [is there] any rock
<06697>
like our God
<0430>_.
2:3
Talk
<01696> (8762)
no more
<07235> (8686)
so exceeding
<01364>
proudly
<01364>_;
let [not] arrogancy
<06277>
come
<03318> (8799)
out of your mouth
<06310>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
[is] a God
<0410>
of knowledge
<01844>_,
and by him actions
<05949>
are weighed
<08505> (8738)_.
{arrogancy: Heb. hard}
2:4
The bows
<07198>
of the mighty men
<01368>
[are] broken
<02844>_,
and they that stumbled
<03782> (8737)
are girded
<0247> (8804)
with strength
<02428>_.
2:5
[They that were] full
<07649>
have hired out
<07936> (8738)
themselves for bread
<03899>_;
and [they that were] hungry
<07457>
ceased
<02308> (8804)_:
so that the barren
<06135>
hath born
<03205> (8804)
seven
<07651>_;
and she that hath many
<07227>
children
<01121>
is waxed feeble
<0535> (8797)_.
2:6
The LORD
<03068>
killeth
<04191> (8688)_,
and maketh alive
<02421> (8764)_:
he bringeth down
<03381> (8688)
to the grave
<07585>_,
and bringeth up
<05927> (8686)_.
2:7
The LORD
<03068>
maketh poor
<03423> (8688)_,
and maketh rich
<06238> (8688)_:
he bringeth low
<08213> (8688)_,
and
<0637>
lifteth up
<07311> (8789)_.
2:8
He raiseth up
<06965> (8688)
the poor
<01800>
out of the dust
<06083>_,
[and] lifteth up
<07311> (8686)
the beggar
<034>
from the dunghill
<0830>_,
to set
<03427> (8687)
[them] among princes
<05081>_,
and to make them inherit
<05157> (8686)
the throne
<03678>
of glory
<03519>_:
for the pillars
<04690>
of the earth
<0776>
[are] the LORD'S
<03068>_,
and he hath set
<07896> (8799)
the world
<08398>
upon them.
2:9
He will keep
<08104> (8799)
the feet
<07272>
of his saints
<02623>_,
and the wicked
<07563>
shall be silent
<01826> (8735)
in darkness
<02822>_;
for by strength
<03581>
shall no man
<0376>
prevail
<01396> (8799)_.
2:10
The adversaries
<07378> (8688)
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be broken to pieces
<02865> (8735)_;
out of heaven
<08064>
shall he thunder
<07481> (8686)
upon them: the LORD
<03068>
shall judge
<01777> (8799)
the ends
<0657>
of the earth
<0776>_;
and he shall give
<05414> (8799)
strength
<05797>
unto his king
<04428>_,
and exalt
<07311> (8686)
the horn
<07161>
of his anointed
<04899>_.
2:11
And Elkanah
<0511>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Ramah
<07414>
to his house
<01004>_.
And the child
<05288>
did
<01961> (8804)
minister
<08334> (8764)
unto the LORD
<03068>
before
<06440>
Eli
<05941>
the priest
<03548>_.
2:12
Now the sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>
[were] sons
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_;
they knew
<03045> (8804)
not the LORD
<03068>_.
2:13
And the priests
<03548>_'
custom
<04941>
with the people
<05971>
[was, that], when any man
<0376>
offered
<02076> (8802)
sacrifice
<02077>_,
the priest's
<03548>
servant
<05288>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
while the flesh
<01320>
was in seething
<01310> (8763)_,
with a fleshhook
<04207>
of three
<07969>
teeth
<08127>
in his hand
<03027>_;
2:14
And he struck
<05221> (8689)
[it] into the pan
<03595>_,
or kettle
<01731>_,
or caldron
<07037>_,
or pot
<06517>_;
all that the fleshhook
<04207>
brought up
<05927> (8686)
the priest
<03548>
took
<03947> (8799)
for himself. So they did
<06213> (8799)
in Shiloh
<07887>
unto all the Israelites
<03478>
that came
<0935> (8802)
thither.
2:15
Also before they burnt
<06999> (8686)
the fat
<02459>_,
the priest's
<03548>
servant
<05288>
came
<0935> (8804)_,
and said
<0559> (8804)
to the man
<0376>
that sacrificed
<02076> (8802)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
flesh
<01320>
to roast
<06740> (8800)
for the priest
<03548>_;
for he will not have
<03947> (8799)
sodden
<01310> (8794)
flesh
<01320>
of thee, but raw
<02416>_.
2:16
And [if] any man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Let them not fail
<06999> (8686)
to burn
<06999> (8763)
the fat
<02459>
presently
<03117>_,
and [then] take
<03947> (8798)
[as much] as thy soul
<05315>
desireth
<0183> (8762)_;
then he would answer
<0559> (8804)
him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)
[it me] now: and if not, I will take
<03947> (8804)
[it] by force
<02394>_.
{presently: Heb. as on the day}
2:17
Wherefore the sin
<02403>
of the young men
<05288>
was very
<03966>
great
<01419>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
for men
<0582>
abhorred
<05006> (8765)
the offering
<04503>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
2:18
But Samuel
<08050>
ministered
<08334> (8764)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
[being] a child
<05288>_,
girded
<02296> (8803)
with a linen
<0906>
ephod
<0646>_.
2:19
Moreover his mother
<0517>
made
<06213> (8799)
him a little
<06996>
coat
<04598>_,
and brought
<05927> (8689)
[it] to him from year
<03117>
to year
<03117>_,
when she came up
<05927> (8800)
with her husband
<0376>
to offer
<02076> (8800)
the yearly
<03117>
sacrifice
<02077>_.
2:20
And Eli
<05941>
blessed
<01288> (8765)
Elkanah
<0511>
and his wife
<0802>_,
and said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
give
<07760> (8799)
thee seed
<02233>
of this woman
<0802>
for the loan
<07596>
which is lent
<07592> (8804)
to the LORD
<03068>_.
And they went
<01980> (8804)
unto their own home
<04725>_.
{loan...: or, petition which she asked, etc}
2:21
And
<03588>
the LORD
<03068>
visited
<06485> (8804)
Hannah
<02584>_,
so that she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
and two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_.
And the child
<05288>
Samuel
<08050>
grew
<01431> (8799)
before
<05973>
the LORD
<03068>_.
2:22
Now Eli
<05941>
was very
<03966>
old
<02204> (8804)_,
and heard
<08085> (8804)
all that his sons
<01121>
did
<06213> (8799)
unto all Israel
<03478>_;
and how they lay
<07901> (8799)
with the women
<0802>
that assembled
<06633> (8802)
[at] the door
<06607>
of the tabernacle
<0168>
of the congregation
<04150>_.
{assembled: Heb. assembled by troops}
2:23
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Why do
<06213> (8799)
ye such things
<01697>_?
for I hear
<08085> (8802)
of your evil
<07451>
dealings
<01697>
by all this people
<05971>_.
{of your...: or, evil words of you}
2:24
Nay, my sons
<01121>_;
for [it is] no good
<02896>
report
<08052>
that I hear
<08085> (8802)_:
ye make the LORD'S
<03068>
people
<05971>
to transgress
<05674> (8688)_.
{transgress: or, cry out}
2:25
If one man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against another
<0376>_,
the judge
<0430>
shall judge
<06419> (8765)
him: but if a man
<0376>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
who shall intreat
<06419> (8691)
for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened
<08085> (8799)
not unto the voice
<06963>
of their father
<01>_,
because the LORD
<03068>
would
<02654> (8804)
slay
<04191> (8687)
them.
2:26
And the child
<05288>
Samuel
<08050>
grew
<01432>
on
<01980> (8802)_,
and was in favour
<02896>
both with the LORD
<03068>_,
and also with men
<0582>_.
2:27
And there came
<0935> (8799)
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
unto Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Did I plainly
<01540> (8736)
appear
<01540> (8738)
unto the house
<01004>
of thy father
<01>_,
when they were in Egypt
<04714>
in Pharaoh's
<06547>
house
<01004>_?
2:28
And did I choose
<0977> (8800)
him out of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
[to be] my priest
<03548>_,
to offer
<05927> (8800)
upon mine altar
<04196>_,
to burn
<06999> (8687)
incense
<07004>_,
to wear
<05375> (8800)
an ephod
<0646>
before
<06440>
me? and did I give
<05414> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of thy father
<01>
all the offerings made by fire
<0801>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_?
2:29
Wherefore kick
<01163> (8799)
ye at my sacrifice
<02077>
and at mine offering
<04503>_,
which I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
[in my] habitation
<04583>_;
and honourest
<03513> (8762)
thy sons
<01121>
above me, to make yourselves fat
<01254> (8687)
with the chiefest
<07225>
of all the offerings
<04503>
of Israel
<03478>
my people
<05971>_?
2:30
Wherefore the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
saith
<05002> (8803)_,
I said
<0559> (8804)
indeed
<0559> (8800)
[that] thy house
<01004>_,
and the house
<01004>
of thy father
<01>_,
should walk
<01980> (8691)
before
<06440>
me for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
but now the LORD
<03068>
saith
<05002> (8803)_,
Be it far from me
<02486>_;
for them that honour
<03513> (8764)
me I will honour
<03513> (8762)_,
and they that despise
<0959> (8802)
me shall be lightly esteemed
<07043> (8799)_.
2:31
Behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will cut off
<01438> (8804)
thine arm
<02220>_,
and the arm
<02220>
of thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
that there shall not be an old man
<02205>
in thine house
<01004>_.
2:32
And thou shalt see
<05027> (8689)
an enemy
<06862>
[in my] habitation
<04583>_,
in all [the wealth] which [God] shall give
<03190> (8686)
Israel
<03478>_:
and there shall not be an old man
<02205>
in thine house
<01004>
for ever
<03117>_.
{an enemy...: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}
2:33
And the man
<0376>
of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off
<03772> (8686)
from mine altar
<04196>_,
[shall be] to consume
<03615> (8763)
thine eyes
<05869>_,
and to grieve
<0109>
thine heart
<05315>_:
and all the increase
<04768>
of thine house
<01004>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
in the flower of their age
<0582>_.
{in the flower...: Heb. men}
2:34
And this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto thee, that shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon thy two
<08147>
sons
<01121>_,
on Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_;
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>
they shall die
<04191> (8799)
both
<08147>
of them.
2:35
And I will raise me up
<06965> (8689)
a faithful
<0539> (8737)
priest
<03548>_,
[that] shall do
<06213> (8799)
according to [that] which [is] in mine heart
<03824>
and in my mind
<05315>_:
and I will build
<01129> (8804)
him a sure
<0539> (8737)
house
<01004>_;
and he shall walk
<01980> (8694)
before
<06440>
mine anointed
<04899>
for ever
<03117>_.
2:36
And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left
<03498> (8737)
in thine house
<01004>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
[and] crouch
<07812> (8692)
to him for a piece
<095>
of silver
<03701>
and a morsel
<03603>
of bread
<03899>_,
and shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Put
<05596> (8798)
me, I pray thee, into one
<0259>
of the priests' offices
<03550>_,
that I may eat
<0398> (8800)
a piece
<06595>
of bread
<03899>_.
{Put: Heb. Join} {one of...: or, somewhat about the priesthood}
3:1
And the child
<05288>
Samuel
<08050>
ministered
<08334> (8764)
unto the LORD
<03068>
before
<06440>
Eli
<05941>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
was precious
<03368>
in those days
<03117>_;
[there was] no open
<06555> (8737)
vision
<02377>_.
3:2
And it came to pass at that time
<03117>_,
when Eli
<05941>
[was] laid down
<07901> (8802)
in his place
<04725>_,
and his eyes
<05869>
began
<02490> (8689)
to wax dim
<03544>_,
[that] he could
<03201> (8799)
not see
<07200> (8800)_;
3:3
And ere the lamp
<05216>
of God
<0430>
went out
<03518> (8799)
in the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
where the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
[was], and Samuel
<08050>
was laid down
<07901> (8802)
[to sleep];
3:4
That the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_:
and he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
3:5
And he ran
<07323> (8799)
unto Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I
<02009>_;
for thou calledst
<07121> (8804)
me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I called
<07121> (8804)
not; lie down
<07901> (8798)
again
<07725> (8798)_.
And he went
<03212> (8799)
and lay down
<07901> (8799)_.
3:6
And the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8800)
yet again
<03254> (8686)_,
Samuel
<08050>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I; for thou didst call
<07121> (8804)
me. And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I called
<07121> (8804)
not, my son
<01121>_;
lie down
<07901> (8798)
again
<07725> (8798)_.
3:7
Now Samuel
<08050>
did not yet
<02962>
know
<03045> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
neither was the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
yet revealed
<01540> (8735)
unto him. {Now...: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him}
3:8
And the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8800)
Samuel
<08050>
again
<03254> (8686)
the third time
<07992>_.
And he arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I; for thou didst call
<07121> (8804)
me. And Eli
<05941>
perceived
<0995> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
had called
<07121> (8802)
the child
<05288>_.
3:9
Therefore Eli
<05941>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
lie down
<07901> (8798)_:
and it shall be, if he call
<07121> (8799)
thee, that thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
Speak
<01696> (8761)_,
LORD
<03068>_;
for thy servant
<05650>
heareth
<08085> (8802)_.
So Samuel
<08050>
went
<03212> (8799)
and lay down
<07901> (8799)
in his place
<04725>_.
3:10
And the LORD
<03068>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and stood
<03320> (8691)_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
as at other times
<06471>_,
Samuel
<08050>_,
Samuel
<08050>_.
Then Samuel
<08050>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Speak
<01696> (8761)_;
for thy servant
<05650>
heareth
<08085> (8802)_.
3:11
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>_,
Behold, I will do
<06213> (8802)
a thing
<01697>
in Israel
<03478>_,
at which both
<08147>
the ears
<0241>
of every one that heareth
<08085> (8802)
it shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.
3:12
In that day
<03117>
I will perform
<06965> (8686)
against Eli
<05941>
all [things] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning
<0413>
his house
<01004>_:
when I begin
<02490> (8687)_,
I will also make an end
<03615> (8763)_.
{when...: Heb. beginning and ending}
3:13
For I have told
<05046> (8689)
him that I will judge
<08199> (8802)
his house
<01004>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
for the iniquity
<05771>
which he knoweth
<03045> (8804)_;
because his sons
<01121>
made themselves vile
<07043> (8764)_,
and he restrained
<03543> (8765)
them not. {For I...: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained...: Heb. frowned not upon them}
3:14
And therefore I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
unto the house
<01004>
of Eli
<05941>_,
that the iniquity
<05771>
of Eli's
<05941>
house
<01004>
shall not be purged
<03722> (8691)
with sacrifice
<02077>
nor offering
<04503>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
3:15
And Samuel
<08050>
lay
<07901> (8799)
until the morning
<01242>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
feared
<03372> (8804)
to shew
<05046> (8687)
Eli
<05941>
the vision
<04759>_.
3:16
Then Eli
<05941>
called
<07121> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Samuel
<08050>_,
my son
<01121>_.
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
3:17
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] the thing
<01697>
that [the LORD] hath said
<01696> (8765)
unto thee? I pray thee hide
<03582> (8762)
[it] not from me: God
<0430>
do so
<06213> (8799)
to thee, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
if thou hide
<03582> (8762)
[any] thing
<01697>
from me of all the things
<01697>
that he said
<01696> (8765)
unto thee. {more also: Heb. so add} {thing from: or, word from}
3:18
And Samuel
<08050>
told
<05046> (8686)
him every whit
<01697>_,
and hid
<03582> (8765)
nothing from him. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
It [is] the LORD
<03068>_:
let him do
<06213> (8799)
what seemeth
<05869>
him good
<02896>_.
{every...: Heb. all the things, or, words}
3:19
And Samuel
<08050>
grew
<01431> (8799)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
was with him, and did let none of his words
<01697>
fall
<05307> (8689)
to the ground
<0776>_.
3:20
And all Israel
<03478>
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>
knew
<03045> (8799)
that Samuel
<08050>
[was] established
<0539> (8737)
[to be] a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{established: or, faithful}
3:21
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8736)
again
<03254> (8686)
in Shiloh
<07887>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
revealed
<01540> (8738)
himself to Samuel
<08050>
in Shiloh
<07887>
by the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
4:1
And the word
<01697>
of Samuel
<08050>
came to all Israel
<03478>_.
Now Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
the Philistines
<06430>
to battle
<04421>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
beside Ebenezer
<072>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
pitched
<02583> (8804)
in Aphek
<0663>_.
{came: or, came to pass}
4:2
And the Philistines
<06430>
put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
Israel
<03478>_:
and when they joined
<05203> (8799)
battle
<04421>_,
Israel
<03478>
was smitten
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_:
and they slew
<05221> (8686)
of the army
<04634>
in the field
<07704>
about four
<0702>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
{they joined...: Heb. the battle was spread} {army: Heb. array}
4:3
And when the people
<05971>
were come
<0935> (8799)
into the camp
<04264>_,
the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>
smitten
<05062> (8804)
us to day
<03117>
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_?
Let us fetch
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
out of Shiloh
<07887>
unto us, that, when it cometh
<0935> (8799)
among
<07130>
us, it may save
<03467> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03709>
of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{fetch: Heb. take unto us}
4:4
So the people
<05971>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Shiloh
<07887>_,
that they might bring
<05375> (8799)
from thence the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
[between] the cherubims
<03742>_:
and the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
[were] there with the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>_.
4:5
And when the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<0935> (8800)
into the camp
<04264>_,
all Israel
<03478>
shouted
<07321> (8686)
with a great
<01419>
shout
<08643>_,
so that the earth
<0776>
rang again
<01949> (8735)_.
4:6
And when the Philistines
<06430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the noise
<06963>
of the shout
<08643>_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meaneth] the noise
<06963>
of this great
<01419>
shout
<08643>
in the camp
<04264>
of the Hebrews
<05680>_?
And they understood
<03045> (8799)
that the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
was come
<0935> (8804)
into the camp
<04264>_.
4:7
And the Philistines
<06430>
were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
God
<0430>
is come
<0935> (8804)
into the camp
<04264>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Woe
<0188>
unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore
<0865> <08032>_.
{heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day}
4:8
Woe
<0188>
unto us! who shall deliver
<05337> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03027>
of these mighty
<0117>
Gods
<0430>_?
these [are] the Gods
<0430>
that smote
<05221> (8688)
the Egyptians
<04714>
with all the plagues
<04347>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
4:9
Be strong
<02388> (8690)_,
and quit
<01961> (8798)
yourselves like men
<0582>_,
O ye Philistines
<06430>_,
that ye be not servants
<05647> (8799)
unto the Hebrews
<05680>_,
as they have been
<05647> (8804)
to you: quit
<01961> (8804)
yourselves like men
<0582>_,
and fight
<03898> (8738)_.
{quit...: Heb. be men}
4:10
And the Philistines
<06430>
fought
<03898> (8735)_,
and Israel
<03478>
was smitten
<05062> (8735)_,
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
every man
<0376>
into his tent
<0168>_:
and there was a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_;
for there fell
<05307> (8799)
of Israel
<03478>
thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<07273>_.
4:11
And the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8738)_;
and the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
were slain
<04191> (8804)_.
{were slain: Heb. died}
4:12
And there ran
<07323> (8799)
a man
<0376>
of Benjamin
<01144>
out of the army
<04634>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Shiloh
<07887>
the same day
<03117>
with his clothes
<04055>
rent
<07167> (8803)_,
and with earth
<0127>
upon his head
<07218>_.
4:13
And when he came
<0935> (8799)_,
lo, Eli
<05941>
sat
<03427> (8802)
upon a seat
<03678>
by the wayside
<01870> <03027> (8675) <03197>
watching
<06822> (8764)_:
for his heart
<03820>
trembled
<02730>
for the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_.
And when the man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8802)
into the city
<05892>_,
and told
<05046> (8687)
[it], all the city
<05892>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_.
4:14
And when Eli
<05941>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the noise
<06963>
of the crying
<06818>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meaneth] the noise
<06963>
of this tumult
<01995>_?
And the man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8799)
in hastily
<04116> (8765)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
Eli
<05941>_.
4:15
Now Eli
<05941>
was ninety
<08673>
and eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_;
and his eyes
<05869>
were dim
<06965> (8804)_,
that he could
<03201> (8804)
not see
<07200> (8800)_.
{were dim: Heb. stood}
4:16
And the man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Eli
<05941>_,
I [am] he that came
<0935> (8802)
out of the army
<04634>_,
and I fled
<05127> (8804)
to day
<03117>
out of the army
<04634>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What is there done
<01697>_,
my son
<01121>_?
{is...: Heb. is the thing}
4:17
And the messenger
<01319> (8764)
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Israel
<03478>
is fled
<05127> (8804)
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_,
and there hath been also a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04046>
among the people
<05971>_,
and thy two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
also, Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
are dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
is taken
<03947> (8738)_.
4:18
And it came to pass, when he made mention
<02142> (8687)
of the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
that he fell
<05307> (8799)
from off the seat
<03678>
backward
<0322>
by
<01157>
the side
<03027>
of the gate
<08179>_,
and his neck
<04665>
brake
<07665> (8735)_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_:
for he was an old
<02204> (8804)
man
<0376>_,
and heavy
<03513> (8804)_.
And he had judged
<08199> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
4:19
And his daughter in law
<03618>_,
Phinehas
<06372>_'
wife
<0802>_,
was with child
<02030>_,
[near] to be delivered
<03205> (8800)_:
and when she heard
<08085> (8799)
the tidings
<08052>
that
<0413>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8736)_,
and that her father in law
<02524>
and her husband
<0376>
were dead
<04191> (8804)_,
she bowed
<03766> (8799)
herself and travailed
<03205> (8799)_;
for her pains
<06735>
came
<02015> (8738)
upon her. {be delivered: or, cry out} {came: Heb. were turned}
4:20
And about the time
<06256>
of her death
<04191> (8800)
the women that stood
<05324> (8737)
by her said
<01696> (8762)
unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; for thou hast born
<03205> (8804)
a son
<01121>_.
But she answered
<06030> (8804)
not, neither did she regard
<07896> (8804) <03820>
[it]. {neither...: Heb. set not her heart}
4:21
And she named
<07121> (8799)
the child
<05288>
Ichabod
<0350>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The glory
<03519>
is departed
<01540> (8804)
from Israel
<03478>_:
because
<0413>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8736)_,
and because of her father in law
<02524>
and her husband
<0376>_.
{Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory}
4:22
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
The glory
<03519>
is departed
<01540> (8804)
from Israel
<03478>_:
for the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
is taken
<03947> (8738)_.
5:1
And the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it from Ebenezer
<072>
unto Ashdod
<0795>_.
5:2
When the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
they brought
<0935> (8686)
it into the house
<01004>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<03322> (8686)
it by
<0681>
Dagon
<01712>_.
5:3
And when they of Ashdod
<0796>
arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the earth
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<07725> (0)
him in his place
<04725>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
5:4
And when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>
morning
<01242>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the ground
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the head
<07218>
of Dagon
<01712>
and both
<08147>
the palms
<03709>
of his hands
<03027>
[were] cut off
<03772> (8803)
upon the threshold
<04670>_;
only [the stump of] Dagon
<01712>
was left
<07604> (8738)
to him. {the stump...: or, the fishy part}
5:5
Therefore neither the priests
<03548>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
nor any that come
<0935> (8802)
into Dagon's
<01712>
house
<01004>_,
tread
<01869> (8799)
on the threshold
<04670>
of Dagon
<01712>
in Ashdod
<0795>
unto this day
<03117>_.
5:6
But the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was heavy
<03513> (8799)
upon them of Ashdod
<0796>_,
and he destroyed
<08074> (8686)
them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
[even] Ashdod
<0795>
and the coasts
<01366>
thereof.
5:7
And when the men
<0582>
of Ashdod
<0795>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that [it was] so, they said
<0559> (8804)_,
The ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
shall not abide
<03427> (8799)
with us: for his hand
<03027>
is sore
<07185> (8804)
upon us, and upon Dagon
<01712>
our god
<0430>_.
5:8
They sent
<07971> (8799)
therefore and gathered
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall we do
<06213> (8799)
with the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Let the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
be carried about
<05437> (8735)
unto Gath
<01661>_.
And they carried
<05437> (0)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
about
<05437> (8686)
[thither].
5:9
And it was [so], that, after
<0310>
they had carried it about
<05437> (8689)_,
the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was against the city
<05892>
with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
destruction
<04103>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_,
and they had emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>
in their secret parts
<08368> (8735)_.
5:10
Therefore they sent
<07971> (8762)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
to Ekron
<06138>_.
And it came to pass, as the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8800)
to Ekron
<06138>_,
that the Ekronites
<06139>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
They have brought about
<05437> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
to us, to slay
<04191> (8687)
us and our people
<05971>_.
{us, to...: Heb. me to slay me and my}
5:11
So they sent
<07971> (8799)
and gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send away
<07971> (8761)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and let it go again
<07725> (8799)
to his own place
<04725>_,
that it slay
<04191> (8686)
us not, and our people
<05971>_:
for there was a deadly
<04194>
destruction
<04103>
throughout all the city
<05892>_;
the hand
<03027>
of God
<0430>
was very
<03966>
heavy
<03513> (8804)
there. {us not...: Heb. me not, and my}
5:12
And the men
<0582>
that died
<04191> (8804)
not were smitten
<05221> (8717)
with the emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_:
and the cry
<07775>
of the city
<05892>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_.
6:1
And the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
was in the country
<07704>
of the Philistines
<06430>
seven
<07651>
months
<02320>_.
6:2
And the Philistines
<06430>
called
<07121> (8799)
for the priests
<03548>
and the diviners
<07080> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What shall we do
<06213> (8799)
to the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
tell
<03045> (8685)
us wherewith we shall send
<07971> (8762)
it to his place
<04725>_.
6:3
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
If ye send away
<07971> (8764)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
send
<07971> (8762)
it not empty
<07387>_;
but in any wise
<07725> (8687)
return
<07725> (8686)
him a trespass offering
<0817>_:
then ye shall be healed
<07495> (8735)_,
and it shall be known
<03045> (8738)
to you why his hand
<03027>
is not removed
<05493> (8799)
from you.
6:4
Then said
<0559> (8799)
they, What [shall be] the trespass offering
<0817>
which we shall return
<07725> (8686)
to him? They answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Five
<02568>
golden
<02091>
emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
and five
<02568>
golden
<02091>
mice
<05909>_,
[according to] the number
<04557>
of the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
for one
<0259>
plague
<04046>
[was] on you all, and on your lords
<05633>_.
{you: Heb. them}
6:5
Wherefore ye shall make
<06213> (8804)
images
<06754>
of your emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
and images
<06754>
of your mice
<05909>
that mar
<07843> (8688)
the land
<0776>_;
and ye shall give
<05414> (8804)
glory
<03519>
unto the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_:
peradventure he will lighten
<07043> (8686)
his hand
<03027>
from off you, and from off your gods
<0430>_,
and from off your land
<0776>_.
6:6
Wherefore then do ye harden
<03513> (8762)
your hearts
<03824>_,
as the Egyptians
<04714>
and Pharaoh
<06547>
hardened
<03513> (8765)
their hearts
<03820>_?
when he had wrought wonderfully
<05953> (8694)
among them, did they not let the people go
<07971> (8762)_,
and they departed
<03212> (8799)_?
{wonderfully: or, reproachfully} {the people: Heb. them}
6:7
Now therefore make
<06213> (8798)
a
<0259>
new
<02319>
cart
<05699>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
two
<08147>
milch
<05763> (8802)
kine
<06510>_,
on which there hath come
<05927> (8804)
no yoke
<05923>_,
and tie
<0631> (8804)
the kine
<06510>
to the cart
<05699>_,
and bring
<07725> (8689)
their calves
<01121>
home
<01004>
from them
<0310>_:
6:8
And take
<03947> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and lay
<05414> (8804)
it upon the cart
<05699>_;
and put
<07760> (8799)
the jewels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
which ye return
<07725> (8689)
him [for] a trespass offering
<0817>_,
in a coffer
<0712>
by the side
<06654>
thereof; and send it away
<07971> (8765)_,
that it may go
<01980> (8804)_.
6:9
And see
<07200> (8804)_,
if it goeth up
<05927> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
of his own coast
<01366>
to Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
[then] he hath done
<06213> (8804)
us this great
<01419>
evil
<07451>_:
but if not, then we shall know
<03045> (8804)
that [it is] not his hand
<03027>
[that] smote
<05060> (8804)
us: it [was] a chance
<04745>
[that] happened to us
<01961> (8804)_.
{he: or, it}
6:10
And the men
<0582>
did so
<06213> (8799)_;
and took
<03947> (8799)
two
<08147>
milch
<05763> (8802)
kine
<06510>_,
and tied
<0631> (8799)
them to the cart
<05699>_,
and shut up
<03607> (8804)
their calves
<01121>
at home
<01004>_:
6:11
And they laid
<07760> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
upon the cart
<05699>_,
and the coffer
<0712>
with the mice
<05909>
of gold
<02091>
and the images
<06754>
of their emerods
<02914>_.
6:12
And the kine
<06510>
took the straight
<03474> (8799)
way
<01870>
to the way
<01870>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
[and] went along
<01980> (8804)
the highway
<04546> <0259>_,
lowing
<01600> (8800)
as they went
<01980> (8800)_,
and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)
[to] the right hand
<03225>
or [to] the left
<08040>_;
and the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went
<01980> (8802)
after
<0310>
them unto the border
<01366>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_.
6:13
And [they of] Bethshemesh
<01053>
[were] reaping
<07114> (8802)
their wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>
in the valley
<06010>_:
and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the ark
<0727>_,
and rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
to see
<07200> (8800)
[it].
6:14
And the cart
<05699>
came
<0935> (8802)
into the field
<07704>
of Joshua
<03091>_,
a Bethshemite
<01030>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
there, where [there was] a great
<01419>
stone
<068>_:
and they clave
<01234> (8762)
the wood
<06086>
of the cart
<05699>_,
and offered
<05927> (8689)
the kine
<06510>
a burnt offering
<05930>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
6:15
And the Levites
<03881>
took down
<03381> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the coffer
<0712>
that [was] with it, wherein the jewels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>
[were], and put
<07760> (8799)
[them] on the great
<01419>
stone
<068>_:
and the men
<0582>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>
offered
<05927> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
sacrifices
<02077>
the same day
<03117>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
6:16
And when the five
<02568>
lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
had seen
<07200> (8804)
[it], they returned
<07725> (8799)
to Ekron
<06138>
the same day
<03117>_.
6:17
And these [are] the golden
<02091>
emerods
<02914>
which the Philistines
<06430>
returned
<07725> (8689)
[for] a trespass offering
<0817>
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
for Ashdod
<0795>
one
<0259>_,
for Gaza
<05804>
one
<0259>_,
for Askelon
<0831>
one
<0259>_,
for Gath
<01661>
one
<0259>_,
for Ekron
<06138>
one
<0259>_;
6:18
And the golden
<02091>
mice
<05909>_,
[according to] the number
<04557>
of all the cities
<05892>
of the Philistines
<06430>
[belonging] to the five
<02568>
lords
<05633>_,
[both] of fenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>_,
and of country
<06521>
villages
<03724>_,
even unto the great
<01419>
[stone of] Abel
<059>_,
whereon they set down
<03240> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
[which stone remaineth] unto this day
<03117>
in the field
<07704>
of Joshua
<03091>_,
the Bethshemite
<01030>_.
{great...: or, great stone}
6:19
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
the men
<0376>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
because they had looked
<07200> (8804)
into the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
even he smote
<05221> (8686)
of the people
<05971>
fifty
<02572>
thousand
<0505>
and threescore and ten
<07657>
men
<0582>_:
and the people
<05971>
lamented
<056> (8691)_,
because the LORD
<03068>
had smitten
<05221> (8689)
[many] of the people
<05971>
with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_.
6:20
And the men
<0582>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who is able
<03201> (8799)
to stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
this holy
<06918>
LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_?
and to whom shall he go up
<05927> (8799)
from us?
6:21
And they sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The Philistines
<06430>
have brought again
<07725> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
come ye down
<03381> (8798)_,
[and] fetch it up
<05927> (8685)
to you.
7:1
And the men
<0582>
of Kirjathjearim
<07157>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and fetched up
<05927> (8686)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it into the house
<01004>
of Abinadab
<041>
in the hill
<01389>_,
and sanctified
<06942> (8765)
Eleazar
<0499>
his son
<01121>
to keep
<08104> (8800)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
7:2
And it came to pass, while
<03117>
the ark
<0727>
abode
<03427> (8800)
in Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,
that the time
<03117>
was long
<07235> (8799)_;
for it was twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>_:
and all the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
lamented
<05091> (8735)
after
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_.
7:3
And Samuel
<08050>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto all the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If ye do return
<07725> (8802)
unto the LORD
<03068>
with all your hearts
<03824>_,
[then] put away
<05493> (8685)
the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
and Ashtaroth
<06252>
from among
<08432>
you, and prepare
<03559> (8685)
your hearts
<03824>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8798)
him only: and he will deliver
<05337> (8686)
you out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
7:4
Then the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did put away
<05493> (8686)
Baalim
<01168>
and Ashtaroth
<06252>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
only.
7:5
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gather
<06908> (8798)
all Israel
<03478>
to Mizpeh
<04708>_,
and I will pray
<06419> (8691)
for you unto the LORD
<03068>_.
7:6
And they gathered together
<06908> (8735)
to Mizpeh
<04709>_,
and drew
<07579> (8799)
water
<04325>_,
and poured [it] out
<08210> (8799)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and fasted
<06684> (8799)
on that day
<03117>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
there, We have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
judged
<08199> (8799)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
in Mizpeh
<04708>_.
7:7
And when the Philistines
<06430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were gathered together
<06908> (8694)
to Mizpeh
<04708>_,
the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went up
<05927> (8799)
against Israel
<03478>_.
And when the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[it], they were afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_.
7:8
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>_,
Cease
<02790> (8686)
not to cry
<02199> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
for us, that he will save
<03467> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
{Cease...: Heb. Be not silent from us from crying}
7:9
And Samuel
<08050>
took
<03947> (8799)
a
<0259>
sucking
<02461>
lamb
<02924>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
[it for] a burnt offering
<05930>
wholly
<03632>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
and Samuel
<08050>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
for Israel
<03478>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
heard
<06030> (8799)
him. {heard: or, answered}
7:10
And as Samuel
<08050>
was offering up
<05927> (8688)
the burnt offering
<05930>_,
the Philistines
<06430>
drew near
<05066> (8738)
to battle
<04421>
against Israel
<03478>_:
but the LORD
<03068>
thundered
<07481> (8686)
with a great
<01419>
thunder
<06963>
on that day
<03117>
upon the Philistines
<06430>_,
and discomfited
<02000> (8799)
them; and they were smitten
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_.
7:11
And the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)
of Mizpeh
<04709>_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them, until [they came] under Bethcar
<01033>_.
7:12
Then Samuel
<08050>
took
<03947> (8799)
a
<0259>
stone
<068>_,
and set
<07760> (8799)
[it] between Mizpeh
<04709>
and Shen
<08129>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of it Ebenezer
<072>_,
saying
<0559> (8799)_,
Hitherto hath the LORD
<03068>
helped
<05826> (8804)
us. {Ebenezer: that is, The stone of help}
7:13
So the Philistines
<06430>
were subdued
<03665> (8735)_,
and they came
<0935> (8800)
no more
<03254> (8804)
into the coast
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was against the Philistines
<06430>
all the days
<03117>
of Samuel
<08050>_.
7:14
And the cities
<05892>
which the Philistines
<06430>
had taken
<03947> (8804)
from Israel
<03478>
were restored
<07725> (8799)
to Israel
<03478>_,
from Ekron
<06138>
even unto Gath
<01661>_;
and the coasts
<01366>
thereof did Israel
<03478>
deliver
<05337> (8689)
out of the hands
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And there was peace
<07965>
between Israel
<03478>
and the Amorites
<0567>_.
7:15
And Samuel
<08050>
judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
all the days
<03117>
of his life
<02416>_.
7:16
And he went
<01980> (8804)
from
<01767>
year
<08141>
to year
<08141>
in circuit
<05437> (8804)
to Bethel
<01008>_,
and Gilgal
<01537>_,
and Mizpeh
<04709>_,
and judged
<08199> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
in all those places
<04725>_.
{in circuit: Heb. and he circuited}
7:17
And his return
<08666>
[was] to Ramah
<07414>_;
for there [was] his house
<01004>_;
and there he judged
<08199> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_;
and there he built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
8:1
And it came to pass, when Samuel
<08050>
was old
<02204> (8804)_,
that he made
<07760> (8799)
his sons
<01121>
judges
<08199> (8802)
over Israel
<03478>_.
8:2
Now the name
<08034>
of his firstborn
<01121> <01060>
was Joel
<03100>_;
and the name
<08034>
of his second
<04932>_,
Abiah
<029>_:
[they were] judges
<08199> (8802)
in Beersheba
<0884>_.
8:3
And his sons
<01121>
walked
<01980> (8804)
not in his ways
<01870>_,
but turned aside
<05186> (8799)
after
<0310>
lucre
<01215>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
bribes
<07810>_,
and perverted
<05186> (8686)
judgment
<04941>_.
8:4
Then all the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>
unto Ramah
<07414>_,
8:5
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, thou art old
<02204> (8804)_,
and thy sons
<01121>
walk
<01980> (8804)
not in thy ways
<01870>_:
now make
<07760> (8798)
us a king
<04428>
to judge
<08199> (8800)
us like all the nations
<01471>_.
8:6
But the thing
<01697>
displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
Samuel
<08050>_,
when they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
us a king
<04428>
to judge
<08199> (8800)
us. And Samuel
<08050>
prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
8:7
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto the voice
<06963>
of the people
<05971>
in all that they say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee: for they have not rejected
<03988> (8804)
thee, but they have rejected
<03988> (8804)
me, that I should not reign
<04427> (8800)
over them.
8:8
According to all the works
<04639>
which they have done
<06213> (8804)
since the day
<03117>
that I brought them up
<05927> (8687)
out of Egypt
<04714>
even unto this day
<03117>_,
wherewith they have forsaken
<05800> (8799)
me, and served
<05647> (8799)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
so do
<06213> (8802)
they also unto thee.
8:9
Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto their voice
<06963>_:
howbeit
<0389>
yet protest
<05749> (8686)
solemnly
<05749> (8687)
unto them, and shew
<05046> (8689)
them the manner
<04941>
of the king
<04428>
that shall reign
<04427> (8799)
over them. {hearken...: or, obey} {howbeit...: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt}
8:10
And Samuel
<08050>
told
<0559> (8799)
all the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto the people
<05971>
that asked
<07592> (8802)
of him a king
<04428>_.
8:11
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
This will be the manner
<04941>
of the king
<04428>
that shall reign
<04427> (8799)
over you: He will take
<03947> (8799)
your sons
<01121>_,
and appoint
<07760> (8804)
[them] for himself, for his chariots
<04818>_,
and [to be] his horsemen
<06571>_;
and [some] shall run
<07323> (8804)
before
<06440>
his chariots
<04818>_.
8:12
And he will appoint
<07760> (8800)
him captains
<08269>
over thousands
<0505>_,
and captains
<08269>
over fifties
<02572>_;
and [will set them] to ear
<02790> (8800)
his ground
<02758>_,
and to reap
<07114> (8800)
his harvest
<07105>_,
and to make
<06213> (8800)
his instruments
<03627>
of war
<04421>_,
and instruments
<03627>
of his chariots
<07393>_.
8:13
And he will take
<03947> (8799)
your daughters
<01323>
[to be] confectionaries
<07548>_,
and [to be] cooks
<02879>_,
and [to be] bakers
<0644> (8802)_.
8:14
And he will take
<03947> (8799)
your fields
<07704>_,
and your vineyards
<03754>_,
and your oliveyards
<02132>_,
[even] the best
<02896>
[of them], and give
<05414> (8804)
[them] to his servants
<05650>_.
8:15
And he will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)
of your seed
<02233>_,
and of your vineyards
<03754>_,
and give
<05414> (8804)
to his officers
<05631>_,
and to his servants
<05650>_.
{officers: Heb. eunuchs}
8:16
And he will take
<03947> (8799)
your menservants
<05650>_,
and your maidservants
<08198>_,
and your goodliest
<02896>
young men
<0970>_,
and your asses
<02543>_,
and put
<06213> (8804)
[them] to his work
<04399>_.
8:17
He will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)
of your sheep
<06629>_:
and ye shall be his servants
<05650>_.
8:18
And ye shall cry out
<02199> (8804)
in that day
<03117>
because
<06440>
of your king
<04428>
which ye shall have chosen
<0977> (8804)
you; and the LORD
<03068>
will not hear
<06030> (8799)
you in that day
<03117>_.
8:19
Nevertheless the people
<05971>
refused
<03985> (8762)
to obey
<08085> (8800)
the voice
<06963>
of Samuel
<08050>_;
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay; but we will have a king
<04428>
over us;
8:20
That we also may be like all the nations
<01471>_;
and that our king
<04428>
may judge
<08199> (8804)
us, and go out
<03318> (8804)
before
<06440>
us, and fight
<03898> (8738)
our battles
<04421>_.
8:21
And Samuel
<08050>
heard
<08085> (8799)
all the words
<01697>
of the people
<05971>_,
and he rehearsed
<01696> (8762)
them in the ears
<0241>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
8:22
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>_,
Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto their voice
<06963>_,
and make
<04427> (8689)
them a king
<04428>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
ye every man
<0376>
unto his city
<05892>_.
9:1
Now there was a man
<0376>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Kish
<07027>_,
the son
<01121>
of Abiel
<022>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zeror
<06872>_,
the son
<01121>
of Bechorath
<01064>_,
the son
<01121>
of Aphiah
<0647>_,
a Benjamite
<01145>_,
a mighty
<01368>
man
<0376>
of power
<02428>_.
{a Benjamite: or, the son of a man of Jemini} {power: or, substance}
9:2
And he had a son
<01121>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Saul
<07586>_,
a choice young man
<0970>_,
and a goodly
<02896>_:
and [there was] not among the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
a goodlier
<02896>
person
<0376>
than he: from his shoulders
<07926>
and upward
<04605>
[he was] higher
<01364>
than any of the people
<05971>_.
9:3
And the asses
<0860>
of Kish
<07027>
Saul's
<07586>
father
<01>
were lost
<06> (8799)_.
And Kish
<07027>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Saul
<07586>
his son
<01121>_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
now one
<0259>
of the servants
<05288>
with thee, and arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go
<03212> (8798)
seek
<01245> (8761)
the asses
<0860>_.
9:4
And he passed through
<05674> (8799)
mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and passed through
<05674> (8799)
the land
<0776>
of Shalisha
<08031>_,
but they found
<04672> (8804)
[them] not: then they passed through
<05674> (8799)
the land
<0776>
of Shalim
<08171>_,
and [there they were] not: and he passed through
<05674> (8799)
the land
<0776>
of the Benjamites
<01145>_,
but they found
<04672> (8804)
[them] not.
9:5
[And] when they were come
<0935> (8804)
to the land
<0776>
of Zuph
<06689>_,
Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8804)
to his servant
<05288>
that [was] with him, Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us return
<07725> (8799)_;
lest my father
<01>
leave
<02308> (8799)
[caring] for the asses
<0860>_,
and take thought
<01672> (8804)
for us.
9:6
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city
<05892>
a man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and [he is] an honourable
<03513> (8737)
man
<0376>_;
all that he saith
<01696> (8762)
cometh
<0935> (8799)
surely to pass
<0935> (8800)_:
now let us go
<03212> (8799)
thither; peradventure he can shew
<05046> (8686)
us our way
<01870>
that we should go
<01980> (8804)_.
9:7
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Saul
<07586>
to his servant
<05288>_,
But, behold, [if] we go
<03212> (8799)_,
what shall we bring
<0935> (8686)
the man
<0376>_?
for the bread
<03899>
is spent
<0235> (8804)
in our vessels
<03627>_,
and [there is] not a present
<08670>
to bring
<0935> (8687)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_:
what have we? {is spent...: Heb. is gone out of, etc} {have we: Heb. is with us?}
9:8
And the servant
<05288>
answered
<06030> (8800)
Saul
<07586>
again
<03254> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have
<04672> (8738)
here at hand
<03027>
the fourth part
<07253>
of a shekel
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_:
[that] will I give
<05414> (8804)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
to tell
<05046> (8689)
us our way
<01870>_.
{I have...: Heb. there is found in my hand}
9:9
(Beforetime
<06440>
in Israel
<03478>_,
when a man
<0376>
went
<03212> (8800)
to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of God
<0430>_,
thus he spake
<0559> (8804)_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us go
<03212> (8799)
to the seer
<07200> (8802)_:
for [he that is] now
<03117>
[called] a Prophet
<05030>
was beforetime
<06440>
called
<07121> (8735)
a Seer
<07200> (8802).)
9:10
Then said
<01697>
Saul
<07586>
to his servant
<05288>_,
Well
<02896>
said
<0559> (8799)_;
come
<03212> (8798)_,
let us go
<03212> (8799)_.
So they went
<03212> (8799)
unto the city
<05892>
where the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
[was]. {Well said: Heb. Thy word is good}
9:11
[And] as they went up
<05927> (8802)
the hill
<04608>
to the city
<05892>_,
they found
<04672> (8804)
young maidens
<05291>
going out
<03318> (8802)
to draw
<07579> (8800)
water
<04325>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Is
<03426>
the seer
<07200> (8802)
here? {the hill...: Heb. in the ascent of the city}
9:12
And they answered
<06030> (8799)
them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
He is
<03426>_;
behold, [he is] before
<06440>
you: make haste
<04116> (8761)
now, for he came
<0935> (8804)
to day
<03117>
to the city
<05892>_;
for [there is] a sacrifice
<02077>
of the people
<05971>
to day
<03117>
in the high place
<01116>_:
{sacrifice: or, feast}
9:13
As soon as ye be come
<0935> (8800)
into the city
<05892>_,
ye shall straightway
<03651>
find
<04672> (8799)
him, before he go up
<05927> (8799)
to the high place
<01116>
to eat
<0398> (8800)_:
for the people
<05971>
will not eat
<0398> (8799)
until he come
<0935> (8800)_,
because he doth bless
<01288> (8762)
the sacrifice
<02077>_;
[and] afterwards
<0310> <03651>
they eat
<0398> (8799)
that be bidden
<07121> (8803)_.
Now therefore get you up
<05927> (8798)_;
for about this time
<03117>
ye shall find
<04672> (8799)
him. {this time: Heb. to day}
9:14
And they went up
<05927> (8799)
into
<08432>
the city
<05892>_:
[and] when they were come
<0935> (8802)
into the city
<05892>_,
behold, Samuel
<08050>
came out
<03318> (8802)
against
<07125> (8800)
them, for to go up
<05927> (8800)
to the high place
<01116>_.
9:15
Now the LORD
<03068>
had told
<01540> (8804)
Samuel
<08050>
in his ear
<0241>
a
<0259>
day
<03117>
before
<06440>
Saul
<07586>
came
<0935> (8800)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
{told...: Heb. revealed the ear of Samuel}
9:16
To morrow
<04279>
about this time
<06256>
I will send
<07971> (8799)
thee a man
<0376>
out of the land
<0776>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and thou shalt anoint
<04886> (8804)
him [to be] captain
<05057>
over my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
that he may save
<03467> (8689)
my people
<05971>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
for I have looked
<07200> (8804)
upon my people
<05971>_,
because their cry
<06818>
is come
<0935> (8804)
unto me.
9:17
And when Samuel
<08050>
saw
<07200> (8804)
Saul
<07586>_,
the LORD
<03068>
said
<06030> (8804)
unto him, Behold the man
<0376>
whom I spake
<0559> (8804)
to thee of! this same shall reign
<06113> (8799)
over my people
<05971>_.
{reign over: Heb. restrain in}
9:18
Then Saul
<07586>
drew near
<05066> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>
in
<08432>
the gate
<08179>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee, where
<0335>
the seer's
<07200> (8802)
house
<01004>
[is].
9:19
And Samuel
<08050>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Saul
<07586>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the seer
<07200> (8802)_:
go up
<05927> (8798)
before
<06440>
me unto the high place
<01116>_;
for ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)
with me to day
<03117>_,
and to morrow
<01242>
I will let thee go
<07971> (8765)_,
and will tell
<05046> (8686)
thee all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_.
9:20
And as for thine asses
<0860>
that were lost
<06> (8802)
three
<07969>
days
<03117>
ago
<03117>_,
set
<07760> (8799)
not thy mind
<03820>
on them; for they are found
<04672> (8738)_.
And on whom [is] all the desire
<02532>
of Israel
<03478>_?
[Is it] not on thee, and on all thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_?
{three...: Heb. to day three days}
9:21
And Saul
<07586>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] not I a Benjamite
<01145>_,
of the smallest
<06996>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_?
and my family
<04940>
the least
<06810>
of all the families
<04940>
of the tribe
<07626>
of Benjamin
<01144>_?
wherefore then speakest
<01696> (8765)
thou so
<01697>
to me? {so...: Heb. according to this word}
9:22
And Samuel
<08050>
took
<03947> (8799)
Saul
<07586>
and his servant
<05288>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them into the parlour
<03957>_,
and made them sit
<05414> (8799)
in the chiefest
<07218>
place
<04725>
among them that were bidden
<07121> (8803)_,
which [were] about thirty
<07970>
persons
<0376>_.
9:23
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the cook
<02876>_,
Bring
<05414> (8798)
the portion
<04490>
which I gave
<05414> (8804)
thee, of which I said
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, Set
<07760> (8798)
it by thee.
9:24
And the cook
<02876>
took up
<07311> (8686)
the shoulder
<07785>_,
and [that] which [was] upon it, and set
<07760> (8799)
[it] before
<06440>
Saul
<07586>_.
And [Samuel] said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold that which is left
<07604> (8737)_!
set
<07760> (8798)
[it] before
<06440>
thee, [and] eat
<0398> (8798)_:
for unto this time
<04150>
hath it been kept
<08104> (8803)
for thee since I said
<0559> (8800)_,
I have invited
<07121> (8804)
the people
<05971>_.
So Saul
<07586>
did eat
<0398> (8799)
with Samuel
<08050>
that day
<03117>_.
{left: or, reserved}
9:25
And when they were come down
<03381> (8799)
from the high place
<01116>
into the city
<05892>_,
[Samuel] communed
<01696> (8762)
with Saul
<07586>
upon the top of the house
<01406>_.
9:26
And they arose early
<07925> (8686)_:
and it came to pass about the spring
<05927> (8800)
of the day
<07837>_,
that Samuel
<08050>
called
<07121> (8799)
Saul
<07586>
to the top of the house
<01406>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
that I may send thee away
<07971> (8762)_.
And Saul
<07586>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and they went out
<03318> (8799)
both
<08147>
of them, he and Samuel
<08050>_,
abroad
<02351>_.
9:27
[And] as they were going down
<03381> (8802)
to the end
<07097>
of the city
<05892>_,
Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8804)
to Saul
<07586>_,
Bid
<0559> (8798)
the servant
<05288>
pass on
<05674> (8799)
before
<06440>
us, (and he passed on
<05674> (8798),)
but stand
<05975> (8798)
thou still a while
<03117>_,
that I may shew
<08085> (8686)
thee the word
<01697>
of God
<0430>_.
{a while: Heb. to day}
10:1
Then Samuel
<08050>
took
<03947> (8799)
a vial
<06378>
of oil
<08081>_,
and poured
<03332> (8799)
[it] upon his head
<07218>_,
and kissed
<05401> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is it] not because the LORD
<03068>
hath anointed
<04886> (8804)
thee [to be] captain
<05057>
over his inheritance
<05159>_?
10:2
When thou art departed
<03212> (8800)
from me
<05978>
to day
<03117>_,
then thou shalt find
<04672> (8804)
two
<08147>
men
<0582>
by Rachel's
<07354>
sepulchre
<06900>
in the border
<01366>
of Benjamin
<01144>
at Zelzah
<06766>_;
and they will say
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, The asses
<0860>
which thou wentest
<01980> (8804)
to seek
<01245> (8763)
are found
<04672> (8738)_:
and, lo, thy father
<01>
hath left
<05203> (8804)
the care
<01697>
of the asses
<0860>_,
and sorroweth
<01672> (8804)
for you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What shall I do
<06213> (8799)
for my son
<01121>_?
{care: Heb. business}
10:3
Then shalt thou go on
<02498> (8804)
forward
<01973>
from thence, and thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)
to the plain
<0436>
of Tabor
<08396>_,
and there shall meet
<04672> (8804)
thee three
<07969>
men
<0582>
going up
<05927> (8802)
to God
<0430>
to Bethel
<01008>_,
one
<0259>
carrying
<05375> (8802)
three
<07969>
kids
<01423>_,
and another
<0259>
carrying
<05375> (8802)
three
<07969>
loaves
<03603>
of bread
<03899>_,
and another
<0259>
carrying
<05375> (8802)
a bottle
<05035>
of wine
<03196>_:
10:4
And they will
<07592> (8804)
salute
<07965>
thee, and give
<05414> (8804)
thee two
<08147>
[loaves] of bread
<03899>_;
which thou shalt receive
<03947> (8804)
of their hands
<03027>_.
{salute...: Heb. ask thee of peace}
10:5
After
<0310>
that thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)
to the hill
<01389>
of God
<0430>_,
where [is] the garrison
<05333>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither
<0935> (8800)
to the city
<05892>_,
that thou shalt meet
<06293> (8804)
a company
<02256>
of prophets
<05030>
coming down
<03381> (8802)
from the high place
<01116>
with a psaltery
<05035>_,
and a tabret
<08596>_,
and a pipe
<02485>_,
and a harp
<03658>_,
before
<06440>
them; and they shall prophesy
<05012> (8693)_:
10:6
And the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
will come
<06743> (8804)
upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy
<05012> (8694)
with them, and shalt be turned
<02015> (8738)
into another
<0312>
man
<0376>_.
10:7
And let it be, when these signs
<0226>
are come
<0935> (8799)
unto thee, [that] thou do
<06213> (8798)
as occasion
<04672> (8799)
serve
<03027>
thee; for God
<0430>
[is] with thee. {And...: Heb. And it shall come to pass, that when these signs, etc} {that...: Heb. do for thee as thine hand shall find}
10:8
And thou shalt go down
<03381> (8804)
before
<06440>
me to Gilgal
<01537>_;
and, behold, I will come down
<03381> (8802)
unto thee, to offer
<05927> (8687)
burnt offerings
<05930>_,
[and] to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
sacrifices
<02077>
of peace offerings
<08002>_:
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>
shalt thou tarry
<03176> (8686)_,
till I come
<0935> (8800)
to thee, and shew
<03045> (8689)
thee what thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_.
10:9
And it was [so], that when he had turned
<06437> (8687)
his back
<07926>
to go
<03212> (8800)
from Samuel
<08050>_,
God
<0430>
gave
<02015> (8799)
him another
<0312>
heart
<03820>_:
and all those signs
<0226>
came
<0935> (8799)
to pass that day
<03117>_.
{back: Heb. shoulder} {gave: Heb. turned}
10:10
And when they came
<0935> (8799)
thither to the hill
<01389>_,
behold, a company
<02256>
of prophets
<05030>
met
<07125> (8800)
him; and the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
came
<06743> (8799)
upon him, and he prophesied
<05012> (8691)
among
<08432>
them.
10:11
And it came to pass, when all that knew
<03045> (8802)
him beforetime
<0865> <08032>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that, behold, he prophesied
<05012> (8738)
among the prophets
<05030>_,
then the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
What [is] this [that] is come unto the son
<01121>
of Kish
<07027>_?
[Is] Saul
<07586>
also among the prophets
<05030>_?
{one...: Heb. a man to his neighbour}
10:12
And one
<0376>
of the same place answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
But who [is] their father
<01>_?
Therefore it became a proverb
<04912>_,
[Is] Saul
<07586>
also among the prophets
<05030>_?
{of...: Heb. from thence}
10:13
And when he had made an end
<03615> (8762)
of prophesying
<05012> (8692)_,
he came
<0935> (8799)
to the high place
<01116>_.
10:14
And Saul's
<07586>
uncle
<01730>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him and to his servant
<05288>_,
Whither
<0575>
went
<01980> (8804)
ye? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
To seek
<01245> (8763)
the asses
<0860>_:
and when we saw
<07200> (8799)
that [they were] no where
<0369>_,
we came
<0935> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>_.
10:15
And Saul's
<07586>
uncle
<01730>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee, what Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto you.
10:16
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his uncle
<01730>_,
He told
<05046> (8689)
us plainly
<05046> (8687)
that the asses
<0860>
were found
<04672> (8738)_.
But of the matter
<01697>
of the kingdom
<04410>_,
whereof Samuel
<08050>
spake
<0559> (8804)_,
he told
<05046> (8689)
him not.
10:17
And Samuel
<08050>
called
<06817> (8686)
the people
<05971>
together unto the LORD
<03068>
to Mizpeh
<04709>_;
10:18
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
I brought up
<05927> (8689)
Israel
<03478>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8686)
you out of the hand
<03027>
of the Egyptians
<04714>_,
and out of the hand
<03027>
of all kingdoms
<04467>_,
[and] of them that oppressed
<03905> (8801)
you:
10:19
And ye have this day
<03117>
rejected
<03988> (8804)
your God
<0430>_,
who himself saved
<03467> (8688)
you out of all your adversities
<07451>
and your tribulations
<06869>_;
and ye have said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Nay], but set
<07760> (8799)
a king
<04428>
over us. Now therefore present
<03320> (8690)
yourselves before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
by your tribes
<07626>_,
and by your thousands
<0505>_.
10:20
And when Samuel
<08050>
had caused all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
to come near
<07126> (8686)_,
the tribe
<07626>
of Benjamin
<01144>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_.
10:21
When he had caused the tribe
<07626>
of Benjamin
<01144>
to come near
<07126> (8686)
by their families
<04940>_,
the family
<04940>
of Matri
<04309>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_,
and Saul
<07586>
the son
<01121>
of Kish
<07027>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_:
and when they sought
<01245> (8762)
him, he could not be found
<04672> (8738)_.
10:22
Therefore they enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>
further, if the man
<0376>
should yet come
<0935> (8804)
thither
<01988>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, he hath hid
<02244> (8737)
himself among the stuff
<03627>_.
10:23
And they ran
<07323> (8799)
and fetched
<03947> (8799)
him thence: and when he stood
<03320> (8691)
among
<08432>
the people
<05971>_,
he was higher
<01361> (8799)
than any of the people
<05971>
from his shoulders
<07926>
and upward
<04605>_.
10:24
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
to all the people
<05971>_,
See
<07200> (8804)
ye him whom the LORD
<03068>
hath chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
that [there is] none like him among all the people
<05971>_?
And all the people
<05971>
shouted
<07321> (8686)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God save
<02421> (8799)
the king
<04428>_.
{God...: Heb. Let the king live}
10:25
Then Samuel
<08050>
told
<01696> (8762)
the people
<05971>
the manner
<04941>
of the kingdom
<04410>_,
and wrote
<03789> (8799)
[it] in a book
<05612>_,
and laid [it] up
<03240> (8686)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
sent
<07971> (0)
all the people
<05971>
away
<07971> (8762)_,
every man
<0376>
to his house
<01004>_.
10:26
And Saul
<07586>
also went
<01980> (8804)
home
<01004>
to Gibeah
<01390>_;
and there went
<03212> (8799)
with him a band of men
<02428>_,
whose hearts
<03820>
God
<0430>
had touched
<05060> (8804)_.
10:27
But the children
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
How shall this man save
<03467> (8686)
us? And they despised
<0959> (8799)
him, and brought
<0935> (8689)
him no presents
<04503>_.
But he held his peace
<02790> (8688)_.
{held...: or, was as though he had been deaf}
11:1
Then Nahash
<05176>
the Ammonite
<05984>
came up
<05927> (8799)_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_:
and all the men
<0582>
of Jabesh
<03003>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Nahash
<05176>_,
Make
<03772> (8798)
a covenant
<01285>
with us, and we will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee.
11:2
And Nahash
<05176>
the Ammonite
<05984>
answered
<0559> (8799)
them, On this
<02063>
[condition] will I make
<03772> (8799)
[a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out
<05365> (8800)
all your right
<03225>
eyes
<05869>_,
and lay
<07760> (8804)
it [for] a reproach
<02781>
upon all Israel
<03478>_.
11:3
And the elders
<02205>
of Jabesh
<03003>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Give us seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_'
respite
<07503> (8685)_,
that we may send
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto all the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and then, if [there be] no man to save
<03467> (8688)
us, we will come out
<03318> (8804)
to thee. {Give...: Heb. Forbear us}
11:4
Then came
<0935> (8799)
the messengers
<04397>
to Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and told
<01696> (8762)
the tidings
<01697>
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_:
and all the people
<05971>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voices
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
11:5
And, behold, Saul
<07586>
came
<0935> (8804)
after
<0310>
the herd
<01241>
out of the field
<07704>_;
and Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [aileth] the people
<05971>
that they weep
<01058> (8799)_?
And they told
<05608> (8762)
him the tidings
<01697>
of the men
<0582>
of Jabesh
<03003>_.
11:6
And the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
came
<06743> (8799)
upon Saul
<07586>
when he heard
<08085> (8800)
those tidings
<01697>_,
and his anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
greatly
<03966>_.
11:7
And he took
<03947> (8799)
a yoke
<06776>
of oxen
<01241>_,
and hewed them in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
[them] throughout all the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>
by the hands
<03027>
of messengers
<04397>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Whosoever cometh not forth
<03318> (8802)
after
<0310>
Saul
<07586>
and after
<0310>
Samuel
<08050>_,
so shall it be done
<06213> (8735)
unto his oxen
<01241>_.
And the fear
<06343>
of the LORD
<03068>
fell
<05307> (8799)
on the people
<05971>_,
and they came out
<03318> (8799)
with one
<0259>
consent
<0376>_.
{with...: Heb. as one man}
11:8
And when he numbered
<06485> (8799)
them in Bezek
<0966>_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>_,
and the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>_.
11:9
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto the messengers
<04397>
that came
<0935> (8802)_,
Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto the men
<0376>
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_,
To morrow
<04279>_,
by [that time] the sun
<08121>
be hot
<02527>_,
ye shall have help
<08668>_.
And the messengers
<04397>
came
<0935> (8799)
and shewed
<05046> (8686)
[it] to the men
<0582>
of Jabesh
<03003>_;
and they were glad
<08055> (8799)_.
{help: or, deliverance}
11:10
Therefore the men
<0582>
of Jabesh
<03003>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
To morrow
<04279>
we will come out
<03318> (8799)
unto you, and ye shall do
<06213> (8804)
with us all that seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto you.
11:11
And it was [so] on the morrow
<04283>_,
that Saul
<07586>
put
<07760> (8799)
the people
<05971>
in three
<07969>
companies
<07218>_;
and they came
<0935> (8799)
into the midst
<08432>
of the host
<04264>
in the morning
<01242>
watch
<0821>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
the Ammonites
<05983>
until the heat
<02527>
of the day
<03117>_:
and it came to pass, that they which remained
<07604> (8737)
were scattered
<06327> (8799)_,
so that two
<08147>
of them were not left
<07604> (8738)
together
<03162>_.
11:12
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Who [is] he that said
<0559> (8802)_,
Shall Saul
<07586>
reign
<04427> (8799)
over us? bring
<05414> (8798)
the men
<0582>_,
that we may put them to death
<04191> (8686)_.
11:13
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
There shall not a man
<0376>
be put to death
<04191> (8714)
this day
<03117>_:
for to day
<03117>
the LORD
<03068>
hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
salvation
<08668>
in Israel
<03478>_.
11:14
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>
to the people
<05971>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us go
<03212> (8799)
to Gilgal
<01537>_,
and renew
<02318> (8762)
the kingdom
<04410>
there.
11:15
And all the people
<05971>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Gilgal
<01537>_;
and there they made Saul
<07586>
king
<04427> (8686)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
in Gilgal
<01537>_;
and there they sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
sacrifices
<02077>
of peace offerings
<08002>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_;
and there Saul
<07586>
and all the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>
rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
greatly
<03966>_.
12:1
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all Israel
<03478>_,
Behold, I have hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto your voice
<06963>
in all that ye said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, and have made
<04427> (8686)
a king
<04428>
over you.
12:2
And now, behold, the king
<04428>
walketh
<01980> (8693)
before
<06440>
you: and I am old
<02204> (8804)
and grayheaded
<07867> (8804)_;
and, behold, my sons
<01121>
[are] with you: and I have walked
<01980> (8694)
before
<06440>
you from my childhood
<05271>
unto this day
<03117>_.
12:3
Behold, here I [am]: witness
<06030> (8798)
against me before the LORD
<03068>_,
and before his anointed
<04899>_:
whose ox
<07794>
have I taken
<03947> (8804)_?
or whose ass
<02543>
have I taken
<03947> (8804)_?
or whom have I defrauded
<06231> (8804)_?
whom have I oppressed
<07533> (8804)_?
or of whose hand
<03027>
have I received [any] bribe
<03724>
to blind
<05956> (8686)
mine eyes
<05869>
therewith? and I will restore
<07725> (8686)
it you. {bribe: Heb. ransom} {to blind...: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him}
12:4
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast not defrauded
<06231> (8804)
us, nor oppressed
<07533> (8804)
us, neither hast thou taken
<03947> (8804)
ought
<03972>
of any man's
<0376>
hand
<03027>_.
12:5
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, The LORD
<03068>
[is] witness
<05707>
against you, and his anointed
<04899>
[is] witness
<05707>
this day
<03117>_,
that ye have not found
<04672> (8804)
ought
<03972>
in my hand
<03027>_.
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] witness
<05707>_.
12:6
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
[It is] the LORD
<03068>
that advanced
<06213> (8804)
Moses
<04872>
and Aaron
<0175>_,
and that brought
<05927> (0)
your fathers
<01>
up
<05927> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{advanced: or, made}
12:7
Now therefore stand still
<03320> (8690)_,
that I may reason
<08199> (8735)
with you before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
of all the righteous acts
<06666>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he did
<06213> (8804)
to you and to your fathers
<01>_.
{righteous...: Heb. righteousnesses, or, benefits} {to: Heb. with}
12:8
When Jacob
<03290>
was come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and your fathers
<01>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
then the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Moses
<04872>
and Aaron
<0175>_,
which brought forth
<03318> (8686)
your fathers
<01>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and made them dwell
<03427> (8686)
in this place
<04725>_.
12:9
And when they forgat
<07911> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
he sold
<04376> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Sisera
<05516>_,
captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
of Hazor
<02674>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and they fought
<03898> (8735)
against them.
12:10
And they cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
because we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and have served
<05647> (8799)
Baalim
<01168>
and Ashtaroth
<06252>_:
but now deliver
<05337> (8685)
us out of the hand
<03027>
of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and we will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee.
12:11
And the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
and Bedan
<0917>_,
and Jephthah
<03316>_,
and Samuel
<08050>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8686)
you out of the hand
<03027>
of your enemies
<0341> (8802)
on every side
<05439>_,
and ye dwelled
<03427> (8799)
safe
<0983>_.
12:12
And when ye saw
<07200> (8799)
that Nahash
<05176>
the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
came
<0935> (8804)
against you, ye said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Nay; but a king
<04428>
shall reign
<04427> (8799)
over us: when the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
[was] your king
<04428>_.
12:13
Now therefore behold the king
<04428>
whom ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
[and] whom ye have desired
<07592> (8804)_!
and, behold, the LORD
<03068>
hath set
<05414> (8804)
a king
<04428>
over you.
12:14
If ye will fear
<03372> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
him, and obey
<08085> (8804)
his voice
<06963>_,
and not rebel
<04784> (8686)
against the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
then shall both ye and also the king
<04428>
that reigneth
<04427> (8804)
over you continue following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_:
{commandment: Heb. mouth} {continue...: Heb. be after}
12:15
But if ye will not obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
but rebel
<04784> (8804)
against the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
then shall the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
be against you, as [it was] against your fathers
<01>_.
12:16
Now therefore
<01571>
stand
<03320> (8690)
and see
<07200> (8798)
this great
<01419>
thing
<01697>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
will do
<06213> (8802)
before your eyes
<05869>_.
12:17
[Is it] not wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>
to day
<03117>_?
I will call
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and he shall send
<05414> (8799)
thunder
<06963>
and rain
<04306>_;
that ye may perceive
<03045> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)
that your wickedness
<07451>
[is] great
<07227>_,
which ye have done
<06213> (8804)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in asking
<07592> (8800)
you a king
<04428>_.
12:18
So Samuel
<08050>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
sent
<05414> (8799)
thunder
<06963>
and rain
<04306>
that day
<03117>_:
and all the people
<05971>
greatly
<03966>
feared
<03372> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
and Samuel
<08050>_.
12:19
And all the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Pray
<06419> (8690)
for thy servants
<05650>
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
that we die
<04191> (8799)
not: for we have added
<03254> (8804)
unto all our sins
<02403>
[this] evil
<07451>_,
to ask
<07592> (8800)
us a king
<04428>_.
12:20
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: ye have done
<06213> (8804)
all this wickedness
<07451>_:
yet turn not aside
<05493> (8799)
from following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
but serve
<05647> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
with all your heart
<03824>_;
12:21
And turn ye not aside
<05493> (8799)_:
for [then should ye go] after
<0310>
vain
<08414>
[things], which cannot profit
<03276> (8686)
nor deliver
<05337> (8686)_;
for they [are] vain
<08414>_.
12:22
For the LORD
<03068>
will not forsake
<05203> (8799)
his people
<05971>
for his great
<01419>
name's
<08034>
sake: because it hath pleased
<02974> (8689)
the LORD
<03068>
to make
<06213> (8800)
you his people
<05971>_.
12:23
Moreover as for me
<0595>_,
God forbid
<02486>
that I should sin
<02398> (8800)
against the LORD
<03068>
in ceasing
<02308> (8800)
to pray
<06419> (8692)
for you: but I will teach
<03384> (8689)
you the good
<02896>
and the right
<03477>
way
<01870>_:
{in: Heb. from}
12:24
Only fear
<03372> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
him in truth
<0571>
with all your heart
<03824>_:
for consider
<07200> (8798)
how great [things] he hath done
<01431> (8689)
for you. {how...: or, what a great thing}
12:25
But if ye shall still
<07489> (8687)
do wickedly
<07489> (8686)_,
ye shall be consumed
<05595> (8735)_,
both ye and your king
<04428>_.
13:1
Saul
<07586>
reigned
<04427> (8800)
one year
<01121> <08141>_;
and when he had reigned
<04427> (8804)
two
<08147>
years
<08141>
over Israel
<03478>_,
{reigned one...: Heb. the son of one year in his reigning}
13:2
Saul
<07586>
chose
<0977> (8799)
him three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
[men] of Israel
<03478>_;
[whereof] two thousand
<0505>
were with Saul
<07586>
in Michmash
<04363>
and in mount
<02022>
Bethel
<01008>_,
and a thousand
<0505>
were with Jonathan
<03129>
in Gibeah
<01390>
of Benjamin
<01144>_:
and the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
he sent
<07971> (8765)
every man
<0376>
to his tent
<0168>_.
13:3
And Jonathan
<03129>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the garrison
<05333>
of the Philistines
<06430>
that [was] in Geba
<01387>_,
and the Philistines
<06430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[of it]. And Saul
<07586>
blew
<08628> (8804)
the trumpet
<07782>
throughout all the land
<0776>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let the Hebrews
<05680>
hear
<08085> (8799)_.
{Geba: or, the hill}
13:4
And all Israel
<03478>
heard
<08085> (8804)
say
<0559> (8800)
[that] Saul
<07586>
had smitten
<05221> (8689)
a garrison
<05333>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and [that] Israel
<03478>
also was had in abomination
<0887> (8738)
with the Philistines
<06430>_.
And the people
<05971>
were called together
<06817> (8735)
after
<0310>
Saul
<07586>
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
{was...: Heb. did stink}
13:5
And the Philistines
<06430>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with Israel
<03478>_,
thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>
chariots
<07393>_,
and six
<08337>
thousand
<0505>
horsemen
<06571>_,
and people
<05971>
as the sand
<02344>
which [is] on the sea
<03220>
shore
<08193>
in multitude
<07230>_:
and they came up
<05927> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in Michmash
<04363>_,
eastward
<06926>
from Bethaven
<01007>_.
13:6
When the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
saw
<07200> (8804)
that they were in a strait
<06887> (8804)_,
(for the people
<05971>
were distressed
<05065> (8738),)
then the people
<05971>
did hide
<02244> (8691)
themselves in caves
<04631>_,
and in thickets
<02337>_,
and in rocks
<05553>_,
and in high places
<06877>_,
and in pits
<0953>_.
13:7
And [some of] the Hebrews
<05680>
went over
<05674> (8804)
Jordan
<03383>
to the land
<0776>
of Gad
<01410>
and Gilead
<01568>_.
As for Saul
<07586>_,
he [was] yet in Gilgal
<01537>_,
and all the people
<05971>
followed
<0310>
him trembling
<02729> (8804)_.
{followed...: Heb. trembled after him}
13:8
And he tarried
<03176> (8686) (8675) <03176> (8735)
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
according to the set time
<04150>
that Samuel
<08050>
[had appointed]: but Samuel
<08050>
came
<0935> (8804)
not to Gilgal
<01537>_;
and the people
<05971>
were scattered
<06327> (8686)
from him.
13:9
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring hither
<05066> (8685)
a burnt offering
<05930>
to me, and peace offerings
<08002>_.
And he offered
<05927> (8686)
the burnt offering
<05930>_.
13:10
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of offering
<05927> (8687)
the burnt offering
<05930>_,
behold, Samuel
<08050>
came
<0935> (8802)_;
and Saul
<07586>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, that he might salute
<01288> (8800)
him. {salute: Heb. bless}
13:11
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because I saw
<07200> (8804)
that the people
<05971>
were scattered
<05310> (8804)
from me, and [that] thou camest
<0935> (8804)
not within the days
<03117>
appointed
<04150>_,
and [that] the Philistines
<06430>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8737)
at Michmash
<04363>_;
13:12
Therefore said
<0559> (8799)
I, The Philistines
<06430>
will come down
<03381> (8799)
now upon me to Gilgal
<01537>_,
and I have not made supplication
<02470> (8765)
unto
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_:
I forced
<0662> (8691)
myself therefore, and offered
<05927> (8686)
a burnt offering
<05930>_.
{made...: Heb. intreated the face [of]}
13:13
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Saul
<07586>_,
Thou hast done foolishly
<05528> (8738)_:
thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)
the commandment
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
which he commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee: for now would the LORD
<03068>
have established
<03559> (8689)
thy kingdom
<04467>
upon Israel
<03478>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
13:14
But now thy kingdom
<04467>
shall not continue
<06965> (8799)_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath sought
<01245> (8765)
him a man
<0376>
after his own heart
<03824>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
hath commanded
<06680> (8762)
him [to be] captain
<05057>
over his people
<05971>_,
because thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)
[that] which the LORD
<03068>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee.
13:15
And Samuel
<08050>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and gat him up
<05927> (8799)
from Gilgal
<01537>
unto Gibeah
<01390>
of Benjamin
<01144>_.
And Saul
<07586>
numbered
<06485> (8799)
the people
<05971>
[that were] present
<04672> (8737)
with him, about six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_.
{present: Heb. found}
13:16
And Saul
<07586>_,
and Jonathan
<03129>
his son
<01121>_,
and the people
<05971>
[that were] present
<04672> (8737)
with them, abode
<03427> (8802)
in Gibeah
<01387>
of Benjamin
<01144>_:
but the Philistines
<06430>
encamped
<02583> (8804)
in Michmash
<04363>_.
{present: Heb. found} {Gibeah: Heb. Geba}
13:17
And the spoilers
<07843> (8688)
came out
<03318> (8799)
of the camp
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>
in three
<07969>
companies
<07218>_:
one
<0259>
company
<07218>
turned
<06437> (8799)
unto the way
<01870>
[that leadeth to] Ophrah
<06084>_,
unto the land
<0776>
of Shual
<07777>_:
13:18
And another
<0259>
company
<07218>
turned
<06437> (8799)
the way
<01870>
[to] Bethhoron
<01032>_:
and another
<0259>
company
<07218>
turned
<06437> (8799)
[to] the way
<01870>
of the border
<01366>
that looketh
<08259> (8737)
to the valley
<01516>
of Zeboim
<06650>
toward the wilderness
<04057>_.
13:19
Now there was no smith
<02796>
found
<04672> (8735)
throughout all the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_:
for the Philistines
<06430>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest the Hebrews
<05680>
make
<06213> (8799)
[them] swords
<02719>
or spears
<02595>_:
13:20
But all the Israelites
<03478>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to the Philistines
<06430>_,
to sharpen
<03913> (8800)
every man
<0376>
his share
<04282>_,
and his coulter
<0855>_,
and his axe
<07134>_,
and his mattock
<04281>_.
13:21
Yet they had a file
<06477> <06310>
for the mattocks
<04281>_,
and for the coulters
<0855>_,
and for the forks
<07969> <07053>_,
and for the axes
<07134>_,
and to sharpen
<05324> (8687)
the goads
<01861>_.
{a file: Heb. a file with mouths, or Heb. a pim, a third of a shekel} {sharpen: Heb. set}
13:22
So it came to pass in the day
<03117>
of battle
<04421>_,
that there was neither sword
<02719>
nor spear
<02595>
found
<04672> (8738)
in the hand
<03027>
of any of the people
<05971>
that [were] with Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03129>_:
but with Saul
<07586>
and with Jonathan
<03129>
his son
<01121>
was there found
<04672> (8735)_.
13:23
And the garrison
<04673>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to the passage
<04569>
of Michmash
<04363>_.
{garrison: or, standing camp}
14:1
Now it came to pass upon a day
<03117>_,
that Jonathan
<03129>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the young man
<05288>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
his armour
<03627>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us go over
<05674> (8799)
to the Philistines
<06430>_'
garrison
<04673>_,
that [is] on the other side
<05676> <01975>_.
But he told
<05046> (8689)
not his father
<01>_.
{it came...: or, there was a day}
14:2
And Saul
<07586>
tarried
<03427> (8802)
in the uttermost
<07097>
part of Gibeah
<01390>
under a pomegranate tree
<07416>
which [is] in Migron
<04051>_:
and the people
<05971>
that [were] with him [were] about six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_;
14:3
And Ahiah
<0281>_,
the son
<01121>
of Ahitub
<0285>_,
Ichabod's
<0350>
brother
<0251>_,
the son
<01121>
of Phinehas
<06372>_,
the son
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
the LORD'S
<03068>
priest
<03548>
in Shiloh
<07887>_,
wearing
<05375> (8802)
an ephod
<0646>_.
And the people
<05971>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not that Jonathan
<03129>
was gone
<01980> (8804)_.
{Ahiah: called Ahimelech}
14:4
And between the passages
<04569>_,
by which Jonathan
<03129>
sought
<01245> (8765)
to go over
<05674> (8800)
unto the Philistines
<06430>_'
garrison
<04673>_,
[there was] a sharp
<08127>
rock
<05553>
on the one side
<05676>_,
and a sharp
<08127>
rock
<05553>
on the other side
<05676>_:
and the name
<08034>
of the one
<0259>
[was] Bozez
<0949>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the other
<0259>
Seneh
<05573>_.
14:5
The forefront
<08127>
of the one
<0259>
[was] situate
<04690>
northward
<06828>
over against
<04136>
Michmash
<04363>_,
and the other
<0259>
southward
<05045>
over against
<04136>
Gibeah
<01387>_.
{forefront: Heb. tooth}
14:6
And Jonathan
<03083>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the young man
<05288>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
his armour
<03627>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us go over
<05674> (8799)
unto the garrison
<04673>
of these uncircumcised
<06189>_:
it may be that the LORD
<03068>
will work
<06213> (8799)
for us: for [there is] no restraint
<04622>
to the LORD
<03068>
to save
<03467> (8687)
by many
<07227>
or by few
<04592>_.
14:7
And his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Do
<06213> (8798)
all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_:
turn
<05186> (8798)
thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart
<03824>_.
14:8
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Jonathan
<03083>_,
Behold, we will pass over
<05674> (8802)
unto [these] men
<0582>_,
and we will discover
<01540> (8738)
ourselves unto them.
14:9
If they say
<0559> (8799)
thus unto us, Tarry
<01826> (8798)
until we come
<05060> (8687)
to you; then we will stand still
<05975> (8804)
in our place, and will not go up
<05927> (8799)
unto them. {Tarry: Heb. Be still}
14:10
But if they say
<0559> (8799)
thus, Come up
<05927> (8798)
unto us; then we will go up
<05927> (8804)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into our hand
<03027>_:
and this [shall be] a sign
<0226>
unto us.
14:11
And both
<08147>
of them discovered
<01540> (8735)
themselves unto the garrison
<04673>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, the Hebrews
<05680>
come forth
<03318> (8802)
out of the holes
<02356>
where they had hid
<02244> (8694)
themselves.
14:12
And the men
<0582>
of the garrison
<04675>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Jonathan
<03129>
and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Come up
<05927> (8798)
to us, and we will shew
<03045> (8686)
you a thing
<01697>_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,
Come up
<05927> (8798)
after
<0310>
me: for the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_.
14:13
And Jonathan
<03129>
climbed up
<05927> (8799)
upon his hands
<03027>
and upon his feet
<07272>_,
and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
after
<0310>
him: and they fell
<05307> (8799)
before
<06440>
Jonathan
<03129>_;
and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
slew
<04191> (8789)
after
<0310>
him.
14:14
And that first
<07223>
slaughter
<04347>_,
which Jonathan
<03129>
and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
made
<05221> (8689)_,
was about twenty
<06242>
men
<0376>_,
within as it were an half
<02677>
acre
<04618>
of land
<07704>_,
[which] a yoke
<06776>
[of oxen might plow]. {an...: or, half a furrow of an acre of land}
14:15
And there was trembling
<02731>
in the host
<04264>_,
in the field
<07704>_,
and among all the people
<05971>_:
the garrison
<04673>_,
and the spoilers
<07843> (8688)_,
they also trembled
<02729> (8804)_,
and the earth
<0776>
quaked
<07264> (8799)_:
so it was a very great
<0430>
trembling
<02731>_.
{a very...: Heb. a trembling of God}
14:16
And the watchmen
<06822> (8802)
of Saul
<07586>
in Gibeah
<01390>
of Benjamin
<01144>
looked
<07200> (8799)_;
and, behold, the multitude
<01995>
melted away
<04127> (8738)_,
and they went
<03212> (8799)
on beating down
<01986> (8800)
[one another].
14:17
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Saul
<07586>
unto the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, Number
<06485> (8798)
now, and see
<07200> (8798)
who is gone
<01980> (8804)
from us. And when they had numbered
<06485> (8799)_,
behold, Jonathan
<03129>
and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>
[were] not [there].
14:18
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahiah
<0281>_,
Bring hither
<05066> (8685)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_.
For the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was at that time
<03117>
with the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
14:19
And it came to pass, while Saul
<07586>
talked
<01696> (8765)
unto the priest
<03548>_,
that the noise
<01995>
that [was] in the host
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went
<03212> (8799)
on
<01980> (8800)
and increased
<07227>_:
and Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the priest
<03548>_,
Withdraw
<0622> (8798)
thine hand
<03027>_.
{noise: or, tumult}
14:20
And Saul
<07586>
and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him assembled
<02199> (8735)
themselves, and they came
<0935> (8799)
to the battle
<04421>_:
and, behold, every man's
<0376>
sword
<02719>
was against his fellow
<07453>_,
[and there was] a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
discomfiture
<04103>_.
{assembled...: Heb. were cried together}
14:21
Moreover the Hebrews
<05680>
[that] were with the Philistines
<06430>
before
<0865>
that time
<08032>_,
which went up
<05927> (8804)
with them into the camp
<04264>
[from the country] round about
<05439>_,
even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites
<03478>
that [were] with Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03129>_.
14:22
Likewise all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
which had hid
<02244> (8693)
themselves in mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
[when] they heard
<08085> (8804)
that the Philistines
<06430>
fled
<05127> (8804)_,
even they also followed hard
<01692> (8686)
after
<0310>
them in the battle
<04421>_.
14:23
So the LORD
<03068>
saved
<03467> (8686)
Israel
<03478>
that day
<03117>_:
and the battle
<04421>
passed over
<05674> (8804)
unto Bethaven
<01007>_.
14:24
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
were distressed
<05065> (8738)
that day
<03117>_:
for Saul
<07586>
had adjured
<0422> (8686)
the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
that eateth
<0398> (8799)
[any] food
<03899>
until evening
<06153>_,
that I may be avenged
<05358> (8738)
on mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
So none of the people
<05971>
tasted
<02938> (8804)
[any] food
<03899>_.
14:25
And all [they of] the land
<0776>
came
<0935> (8804)
to a wood
<03293>_;
and there was honey
<01706>
upon
<06440>
the ground
<07704>_.
14:26
And when the people
<05971>
were come
<0935> (8799)
into the wood
<03293>_,
behold, the honey
<01706>
dropped
<01982>_;
but no man put
<05381> (8688)
his hand
<03027>
to his mouth
<06310>_:
for the people
<05971>
feared
<03372> (8804)
the oath
<07621>_.
14:27
But Jonathan
<03129>
heard
<08085> (8804)
not when his father
<01>
charged
<07650> (0)
the people
<05971>
with the oath
<07650> (8687)_:
wherefore he put forth
<07971> (8799)
the end
<07097>
of the rod
<04294>
that [was] in his hand
<03027>_,
and dipped
<02881> (8799)
it in an honeycomb
<03295> <01706>_,
and put
<07725> (8686)
his hand
<03027>
to his mouth
<06310>_;
and his eyes
<05869>
were enlightened
<0215> (8799)_.
14:28
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
one
<0376>
of the people
<05971>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy father
<01>
straitly
<07650> (8687)
charged
<07650> (0)
the people
<05971>
with an oath
<07650> (8689)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
that eateth
<0398> (8799)
[any] food
<03899>
this day
<03117>_.
And the people
<05971>
were faint
<05774> (8799)_.
{faint: or, weary}
14:29
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Jonathan
<03129>_,
My father
<01>
hath troubled
<05916> (8804)
the land
<0776>_:
see
<07200> (8798)_,
I pray you, how mine eyes
<05869>
have been enlightened
<0215> (8804)_,
because I tasted
<02938> (8804)
a little
<04592>
of this honey
<01706>_.
14:30
How much more
<0637>_,
if haply
<03863>
the people
<05971>
had eaten
<0398> (8804)
freely
<0398> (8800)
to day
<03117>
of the spoil
<07998>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)
which they found
<04672> (8804)_?
for had there not been now a much greater
<07235> (8804)
slaughter
<04347>
among the Philistines
<06430>_?
14:31
And they smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>
that day
<03117>
from Michmash
<04363>
to Aijalon
<0357>_:
and the people
<05971>
were very
<03966>
faint
<05774> (8799)_.
14:32
And the people
<05971>
flew
<05860> (8799) <06213> (8799)
upon the spoil
<07998>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
sheep
<06629>_,
and oxen
<01241>_,
and calves
<01121>_,
and slew
<07819> (8799)
[them] on the ground
<0776>_:
and the people
<05971>
did eat
<0398> (8799)
[them] with the blood
<01818>_.
14:33
Then they told
<05046> (8686)
Saul
<07586>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, the people
<05971>
sin
<02398> (8802)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
in that they eat
<0398> (8800)
with the blood
<01818>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Ye have transgressed
<0898> (8804)_:
roll
<01556> (8798)
a great
<01419>
stone
<068>
unto me this day
<03117>_.
{transgressed: or, dealt treacherously}
14:34
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Disperse
<06327> (8798)
yourselves among the people
<05971>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Bring me hither
<05066> (8685)
every man
<0376>
his ox
<07794>_,
and every man
<0376>
his sheep
<07716>_,
and slay
<07819> (8804)
[them] here, and eat
<0398> (8804)_;
and sin
<02398> (8799)
not against the LORD
<03068>
in eating
<0398> (8800)
with the blood
<01818>_.
And all the people
<05971>
brought
<05066> (8686)
every man
<0376>
his ox
<07794>
with him
<03027>
that night
<03915>_,
and slew
<07819> (8799)
[them] there. {with him: Heb. in his hand}
14:35
And Saul
<07586>
built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
the same was the first
<02490> (8689)
altar
<04196>
that he built
<01129> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{the same...: Heb. that altar he began to build unto the LORD}
14:36
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us go down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>
by night
<03915>_,
and spoil
<0962> (8799)
them until the morning
<01242>
light
<0216>_,
and let us not leave
<07604> (8686)
a man
<0376>
of them. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do
<06213> (8798)
whatsoever seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee. Then said
<0559> (8799)
the priest
<03548>_,
Let us draw near
<07126> (8799)
hither
<01988>
unto God
<0430>_.
14:37
And Saul
<07586>
asked
<07592> (8799)
counsel of God
<0430>_,
Shall I go down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_?
wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_?
But he answered
<06030> (8804)
him not that day
<03117>_.
14:38
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Draw ye near
<05066> (8798)
hither
<01988>_,
all the chief
<06438>
of the people
<05971>_:
and know
<03045> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)
wherein
<04100>
this sin
<02403>
hath been this day
<03117>_.
{chief: Heb. corners}
14:39
For, [as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
which saveth
<03467> (8688)
Israel
<03478>_,
though it be
<03426>
in Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>_,
he shall surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_.
But [there was] not a man among all the people
<05971>
[that] answered
<06030> (8802)
him.
14:40
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto all Israel
<03478>_,
Be ye on one
<0259>
side
<05676>_,
and I and Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>
will be on the other
<0259>
side
<05676>_.
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Do
<06213> (8798)
what seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee.
14:41
Therefore Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
a perfect
<08549>
[lot]. And Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03129>
were taken
<03920> (8735)_:
but the people
<05971>
escaped
<03318> (8804)_.
{Give...: or, Shew the innocent} {escaped: Heb. went forth}
14:42
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cast
<05307> (8685)
[lots] between me and Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_.
14:43
Then Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jonathan
<03129>_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
me what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
told
<05046> (8686)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I did but
<02938> (8800)
taste
<02938> (8804)
a little
<04592>
honey
<01706>
with the end
<07097>
of the rod
<04294>
that [was] in mine hand
<03027>_,
[and], lo
<02009>_,
I must die
<04191> (8799)_.
14:44
And Saul
<07586>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
do so
<06213> (8799)
and more also
<03254> (8686)_:
for thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_,
Jonathan
<03129>_.
14:45
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Shall Jonathan
<03129>
die
<04191> (8799)_,
who hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
this great
<01419>
salvation
<03444>
in Israel
<03478>_?
God forbid
<02486>_:
[as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
there shall not one hair
<08185>
of his head
<07218>
fall
<05307> (8799)
to the ground
<0776>_;
for he hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
with God
<0430>
this day
<03117>_.
So the people
<05971>
rescued
<06299> (8799)
Jonathan
<03129>_,
that he died
<04191> (8804)
not.
14:46
Then Saul
<07586>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from following
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
went
<01980> (8804)
to their own place
<04725>_.
14:47
So Saul
<07586>
took
<03920> (8804)
the kingdom
<04410>
over Israel
<03478>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against all his enemies
<0341> (8802)
on every side
<05439>_,
against Moab
<04124>_,
and against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and against Edom
<0123>_,
and against the kings
<04428>
of Zobah
<06678>_,
and against the Philistines
<06430>_:
and whithersoever he turned
<06437> (8799)
himself, he vexed
<07561> (8686)
[them].
14:48
And he gathered
<06213> (8799)
an host
<02428>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8686)
Israel
<03478>
out of the hands
<03027>
of them that spoiled
<08154> (8802)
them. {gathered...: or, wrought mightily}
14:49
Now the sons
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>
were Jonathan
<03129>_,
and Ishui
<03440>_,
and Melchishua
<04444>_:
and the names
<08034>
of his two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>
[were these]; the name
<08034>
of the firstborn
<01067>
Merab
<04764>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the younger
<06996>
Michal
<04324>_:
14:50
And the name
<08034>
of Saul's
<07586>
wife
<0802>
[was] Ahinoam
<0293>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Ahimaaz
<0290>_:
and the name
<08034>
of the captain
<08269>
of his host
<06635>
[was] Abner
<074>_,
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
Saul's
<07586>
uncle
<01730>_.
{Abner: Heb. Abiner}
14:51
And Kish
<07027>
[was] the father
<01>
of Saul
<07586>_;
and Ner
<05369>
the father
<01>
of Abner
<074>
[was] the son
<01121>
of Abiel
<022>_.
14:52
And there was sore
<02389>
war
<04421>
against the Philistines
<06430>
all the days
<03117>
of Saul
<07586>_:
and when Saul
<07586>
saw
<07200> (8804)
any strong
<01368>
man
<0376>_,
or any valiant
<02428>
man
<01121>_,
he took
<0622> (8799)
him unto him.
15:1
Samuel
<08050>
also said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
The LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8804)
me to anoint
<04886> (8800)
thee [to be] king
<04428>
over his people
<05971>_,
over Israel
<03478>_:
now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)
thou unto the voice
<06963>
of the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
15:2
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
I remember
<06485> (8804)
[that] which Amalek
<06002>
did
<06213> (8804)
to Israel
<03478>_,
how he laid
<07760> (8804)
[wait] for him in the way
<01870>_,
when he came up
<05927> (8800)
from Egypt
<04714>_.
15:3
Now go
<03212> (8798)
and smite
<05221> (8689)
Amalek
<06002>_,
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
all that they have, and spare
<02550> (8799)
them not; but slay
<04191> (8689)
both man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_,
infant
<05768>
and suckling
<03243> (8802)_,
ox
<07794>
and sheep
<07716>_,
camel
<01581>
and ass
<02543>_.
15:4
And Saul
<07586>
gathered
<08085> (0)
the people
<05971>
together
<08085> (8762)_,
and numbered
<06485> (8799)
them in Telaim
<02923>_,
two hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<07273>_,
and ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_.
15:5
And Saul
<07586>
came
<0935> (8799)
to a city
<05892>
of Amalek
<06002>_,
and laid wait
<07378> (8799) <0693> (8686)
in the valley
<05158>_.
{laid...: or, fought}
15:6
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the Kenites
<07017>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
depart
<05493> (8798)_,
get you down
<03381> (8798)
from among
<08432>
the Amalekites
<06002>_,
lest I destroy
<0622> (8799)
you with them: for ye shewed
<06213> (8804)
kindness
<02617>
to all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
when they came up
<05927> (8800)
out of Egypt
<04714>_.
So the Kenites
<07017>
departed
<05493> (8799)
from among
<08432>
the Amalekites
<06003>_.
15:7
And Saul
<07586>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the Amalekites
<06002>
from Havilah
<02341>
[until] thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to Shur
<07793>_,
that [is] over against
<06440>
Egypt
<04714>_.
15:8
And he took
<08610> (8799)
Agag
<090>
the king
<04428>
of the Amalekites
<06002>
alive
<02416>_,
and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
all the people
<05971>
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_.
15:9
But Saul
<07586>
and the people
<05971>
spared
<02550> (8799)
Agag
<090>_,
and the best
<04315>
of the sheep
<06629>_,
and of the oxen
<01241>_,
and of the fatlings
<04932>_,
and the lambs
<03733>_,
and all [that was] good
<02896>_,
and would
<014> (8804)
not utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)
them: but every thing
<04399>
[that was] vile
<05240>
and refuse
<04549> (8738)_,
that they destroyed utterly
<02763> (8689)_.
{fatlings: or, second sort}
15:10
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
15:11
It repenteth
<05162> (8738)
me that I have set up
<04427> (8689)
Saul
<07586>
[to be] king
<04428>_:
for he is turned back
<07725> (8804)
from following
<0310>
me, and hath not performed
<06965> (8689)
my commandments
<01697>_.
And it grieved
<02734> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_;
and he cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
all night
<03915>_.
15:12
And when Samuel
<08050>
rose early
<07925> (8686)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Saul
<07586>
in the morning
<01242>_,
it was told
<05046> (8714)
Samuel
<08050>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Saul
<07586>
came
<0935> (8804)
to Carmel
<03760>_,
and, behold, he set him up
<05324> (8688)
a place
<03027>_,
and is gone about
<05437> (8735)_,
and passed on
<05674> (8799)_,
and gone down
<03381> (8799)
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
15:13
And Samuel
<08050>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Saul
<07586>_:
and Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] thou of the LORD
<03068>_:
I have performed
<06965> (8689)
the commandment
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
15:14
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meaneth] then this bleating
<06963>
of the sheep
<06629>
in mine ears
<0241>_,
and the lowing
<06963>
of the oxen
<01241>
which I hear
<08085> (8802)_?
15:15
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They have brought
<0935> (8689)
them from the Amalekites
<06003>_:
for the people
<05971>
spared
<02550> (8804)
the best
<04315>
of the sheep
<06629>
and of the oxen
<01241>_,
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_;
and the rest
<03498> (8802)
we have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_.
15:16
Then Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Stay
<07503> (8685)_,
and I will tell
<05046> (8686)
thee what the LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)
to me this night
<03915>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Say on
<01696> (8761)_.
15:17
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
When thou [wast] little
<06996>
in thine own sight
<05869>_,
[wast] thou not [made] the head
<07218>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
anointed
<04886> (8799)
thee king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_?
15:18
And the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
thee on a journey
<01870>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
the sinners
<02400>
the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and fight
<03898> (8738)
against them until they be consumed
<03615> (8763)_.
{they...: Heb. they consume them}
15:19
Wherefore then didst thou not obey
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
but didst fly
<05860> (8799)
upon the spoil
<07998>_,
and didst
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
15:20
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Yea, I have obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and have gone
<03212> (8799)
the way
<01870>
which the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8804)
me, and have brought
<0935> (8686)
Agag
<090>
the king
<04428>
of Amalek
<06002>_,
and have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
the Amalekites
<06002>_.
15:21
But the people
<05971>
took
<03947> (8799)
of the spoil
<07998>_,
sheep
<06629>
and oxen
<01241>_,
the chief
<07225>
of the things which should have been utterly destroyed
<02764>_,
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
in Gilgal
<01537>_.
15:22
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hath the LORD
<03068>
[as great] delight
<02656>
in burnt offerings
<05930>
and sacrifices
<02077>_,
as in obeying
<08085> (8800)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
Behold, to obey
<08085> (8800)
[is] better
<02896>
than sacrifice
<02077>_,
[and] to hearken
<07181> (8687)
than the fat
<02459>
of rams
<0352>_.
15:23
For rebellion
<04805>
[is as] the sin
<02403>
of witchcraft
<07081>_,
and stubbornness
<06484> (8687)
[is as] iniquity
<0205>
and idolatry
<08655>_.
Because thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
he hath also rejected
<03988> (8799)
thee from [being] king
<04428>_.
{witchcraft: Heb. divination}
15:24
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:
for I have transgressed
<05674> (8804)
the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and thy words
<01697>_:
because I feared
<03372> (8804)
the people
<05971>_,
and obeyed
<08085> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_.
15:25
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
<05375> (8798)
my sin
<02403>_,
and turn again
<07725> (8798)
with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_.
15:26
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
I will not return
<07725> (8799)
with thee: for thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
hath rejected
<03988> (8799)
thee from being king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_.
15:27
And as Samuel
<08050>
turned about
<05437> (8735)
to go away
<03212> (8800)_,
he laid hold
<02388> (8686)
upon the skirt
<03671>
of his mantle
<04598>_,
and it rent
<07167> (8735)_.
15:28
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
hath rent
<07167> (8804)
the kingdom
<04468>
of Israel
<03478>
from thee this day
<03117>_,
and hath given
<05414> (8804)
it to a neighbour
<07453>
of thine, [that is] better
<02896>
than thou.
15:29
And also the Strength
<05331>
of Israel
<03478>
will not lie
<08266> (8762)
nor repent
<05162> (8735)_:
for he [is] not a man
<0120>_,
that he should repent
<05162> (8736)_.
{Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}
15:30
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:
[yet] honour
<03513> (8761)
me now, I pray thee, before the elders
<02205>
of my people
<05971>_,
and before Israel
<03478>_,
and turn again
<07725> (8798)
with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8694)
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_.
15:31
So Samuel
<08050>
turned again
<07725> (8799)
after
<0310>
Saul
<07586>_;
and Saul
<07586>
worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_.
15:32
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_,
Bring ye hither
<05066> (8685)
to me Agag
<090>
the king
<04428>
of the Amalekites
<06002>_.
And Agag
<090>
came
<03212> (8799)
unto him delicately
<04574>_.
And Agag
<090>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<0403>
the bitterness
<04751>
of death
<04194>
is past
<05493> (8804)_.
15:33
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
As thy sword
<02719>
hath made women
<0802>
childless
<07921> (8765)_,
so shall thy mother
<0517>
be childless
<07921> (8799)
among women
<0802>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
hewed
<08158> (0)
Agag
<090>
in pieces
<08158> (8762)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
in Gilgal
<01537>_.
15:34
Then Samuel
<08050>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Ramah
<07414>_;
and Saul
<07586>
went up
<05927> (8804)
to his house
<01004>
to Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>_.
15:35
And Samuel
<08050>
came no more
<03254> (8804)
to see
<07200> (8800)
Saul
<07586>
until the day
<03117>
of his death
<04194>_:
nevertheless
<03588>
Samuel
<08050>
mourned
<056> (8694)
for Saul
<07586>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
repented
<05162> (8738)
that he had made Saul
<07586>
king
<04427> (8689)
over Israel
<03478>_.
16:1
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
How long wilt thou mourn
<056> (8693)
for Saul
<07586>_,
seeing I have rejected
<03988> (8804)
him from reigning
<04427> (8800)
over Israel
<03478>_?
fill
<04390> (8761)
thine horn
<07161>
with oil
<08081>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)_,
I will send
<07971> (8799)
thee to Jesse
<03448>
the Bethlehemite
<01022>_:
for I have provided
<07200> (8804)
me a king
<04428>
among his sons
<01121>_.
16:2
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
How can I go
<03212> (8799)_?
if Saul
<07586>
hear
<08085> (8804)
[it], he will kill
<02026> (8804)
me. And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take
<03947> (8799)
an heifer
<01241> <05697>
with thee
<03027>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
I am come
<0935> (8804)
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
to the LORD
<03068>_.
{with thee: Heb. in thine hand}
16:3
And call
<07121> (8804)
Jesse
<03448>
to the sacrifice
<02077>_,
and I will shew
<03045> (8686)
thee what thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_:
and thou shalt anoint
<04886> (8804)
unto me [him] whom I name
<0559> (8799)
unto thee.
16:4
And Samuel
<08050>
did
<06213> (8799)
that which the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And the elders
<02205>
of the town
<05892>
trembled
<02729> (8799)
at his coming
<07125> (8800)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Comest
<0935> (8800)
thou peaceably
<07965>_?
{coming: Heb. meeting}
16:5
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peaceably
<07965>_:
I am come
<0935> (8804)
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
sanctify
<06942> (8690)
yourselves, and come
<0935> (8804)
with me to the sacrifice
<02077>_.
And he sanctified
<06942> (8762)
Jesse
<03448>
and his sons
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
them to the sacrifice
<02077>_.
16:6
And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)_,
that he looked
<07200> (8799)
on Eliab
<0446>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely the LORD'S
<03068>
anointed
<04899>
[is] before him. {Eliab: called Elihu}
16:7
But the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Look
<05027> (8686)
not on his countenance
<04758>_,
or on the height
<01364>
of his stature
<06967>_;
because I have refused
<03988> (8804)
him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man
<0120>
seeth
<07200> (8799)_;
for man
<0120>
looketh
<07200> (8799)
on the outward appearance
<05869>_,
but the LORD
<03068>
looketh
<07200> (8799)
on the heart
<03824>_.
{outward...: Heb. eyes}
16:8
Then Jesse
<03448>
called
<07121> (8799)
Abinadab
<041>_,
and made him pass
<05674> (8686)
before
<06440>
Samuel
<08050>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Neither hath the LORD
<03068>
chosen
<0977> (8804)
this.
16:9
Then Jesse
<03448>
made Shammah
<08048>
to pass by
<05674> (8686)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Neither hath the LORD
<03068>
chosen
<0977> (8804)
this. {Shammah: Shimeah, also called, Shimma}
16:10
Again, Jesse
<03448>
made seven
<07651>
of his sons
<01121>
to pass
<05674> (8686)
before
<06440>
Samuel
<08050>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath not chosen
<0977> (8804)
these.
16:11
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
Are here all
<08552> (8804)
[thy] children
<05288>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
There remaineth
<07604> (8804)
yet the youngest
<06996>_,
and, behold, he keepeth
<07462> (8802)
the sheep
<06629>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
and fetch
<03947> (8798)
him: for we will not sit down
<05437> (8799)
till he come
<0935> (8800)
hither
<06311>_.
{down: Heb. round}
16:12
And he sent
<07971> (8799)_,
and brought him in
<0935> (8686)_.
Now he [was] ruddy
<0132>_,
[and] withal
<05973>
of a beautiful
<03303>
countenance
<05869>_,
and goodly
<02896>
to look to
<07210>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
anoint
<04886> (8798)
him: for this [is] he. {of a...: Heb. fair of eyes}
16:13
Then Samuel
<08050>
took
<03947> (8799)
the horn
<07161>
of oil
<08081>_,
and anointed
<04886> (8799)
him in the midst
<07130>
of his brethren
<0251>_:
and the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<06743> (8799)
upon David
<01732>
from that day
<03117>
forward
<04605>_.
So Samuel
<08050>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Ramah
<07414>_.
16:14
But the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
departed
<05493> (8804)
from Saul
<07586>_,
and an evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
from the LORD
<03068>
troubled
<01204> (8765)
him. {troubled: or, terrified}
16:15
And Saul's
<07586>
servants
<05650>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold now, an evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
from God
<0430>
troubleth
<01204> (8764)
thee.
16:16
Let our lord
<0113>
now command
<0559> (8799)
thy servants
<05650>_,
[which are] before
<06440>
thee, to seek out
<01245> (8762)
a man
<0376>_,
[who is] a cunning
<03045> (8802)
player
<05059> (8764)
on an harp
<03658>_:
and it shall come to pass, when the evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
from God
<0430>
is upon thee, that he shall play
<05059> (8765)
with his hand
<03027>_,
and thou shalt be well
<02895> (8804)_.
16:17
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Provide
<07200> (8798)
me now a man
<0376>
that can play
<05059> (8763)
well
<03190> (8688)_,
and bring
<0935> (8689)
[him] to me.
16:18
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
one
<0259>
of the servants
<05288>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I have seen
<07200> (8804)
a son
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>
the Bethlehemite
<01022>_,
[that is] cunning
<03045> (8802)
in playing
<05059> (8763)_,
and a mighty
<01368>
valiant man
<02428>_,
and a man
<0376>
of war
<04421>_,
and prudent
<0995> (8737)
in matters
<01697>_,
and a comely
<08389>
person
<0376>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
[is] with him. {matters: or, speech}
16:19
Wherefore Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto Jesse
<03448>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
me David
<01732>
thy son
<01121>_,
which [is] with the sheep
<06629>_.
16:20
And Jesse
<03448>
took
<03947> (8799)
an ass
<02543>
[laden] with bread
<03899>_,
and a bottle
<04997>
of wine
<03196>_,
and a
<0259>
kid
<01423> <05795>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
[them] by
<03027>
David
<01732>
his son
<01121>
unto Saul
<07586>_.
16:21
And David
<01732>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Saul
<07586>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
him: and he loved
<0157> (8799)
him greatly
<03966>_;
and he became his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_.
16:22
And Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Jesse
<03448>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let David
<01732>_,
I pray thee, stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me; for he hath found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in my sight
<05869>_.
16:23
And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit
<07307>
from God
<0430>
was upon Saul
<07586>_,
that David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8804)
an harp
<03658>_,
and played
<05059> (8765)
with his hand
<03027>_:
so Saul
<07586>
was refreshed
<07304> (8804)_,
and was well
<02895> (8804)_,
and the evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
departed
<05493> (8804)
from him.
17:1
Now the Philistines
<06430>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
their armies
<04264>
to battle
<04421>_,
and were gathered together
<0622> (8735)
at Shochoh
<07755>_,
which [belongeth] to Judah
<03063>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
between Shochoh
<07755>
and Azekah
<05825>_,
in Ephesdammim
<0658>_.
{Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}
17:2
And Saul
<07586>
and the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
were gathered together
<0622> (8738)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
by the valley
<06010>
of Elah
<0425>_,
and set the battle
<04421>
in array
<06186> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
the Philistines
<06430>_.
{set...: Heb. ranged the battle}
17:3
And the Philistines
<06430>
stood
<05975> (8802)
on a mountain
<02022>
on the one side, and Israel
<03478>
stood
<05975> (8802)
on a mountain
<02022>
on the other side: and [there was] a valley
<01516>
between them.
17:4
And there went out
<03318> (8799)
a champion
<0376> <01143>
out of the camp
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
named
<08034>
Goliath
<01555>_,
of Gath
<01661>_,
whose height
<01363>
[was] six
<08337>
cubits
<0520>
and a span
<02239>_.
17:5
And [he had] an helmet
<03553>
of brass
<05178>
upon his head
<07218>_,
and he [was] armed
<03847> (8803)
with a coat
<08302>
of mail
<07193>_;
and the weight
<04948>
of the coat
<08302>
[was] five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>
shekels
<08255>
of brass
<05178>_.
{armed: Heb. clothed}
17:6
And [he had] greaves
<04697>
of brass
<05178>
upon his legs
<07272>_,
and a target
<03591>
of brass
<05178>
between his shoulders
<03802>_.
{target: or, gorget}
17:7
And the staff
<06086> (8675) <02671>
of his spear
<02595>
[was] like a weaver's
<0707> (8802)
beam
<04500>_;
and his spear's
<02595>
head
<03852>
[weighed] six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
shekels
<08255>
of iron
<01270>_:
and one bearing
<05375> (8802)
a shield
<06793>
went
<01980> (8802)
before
<06440>
him.
17:8
And he stood
<05975> (8799)
and cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the armies
<04634>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Why are ye come out
<03318> (8799)
to set [your] battle
<04421>
in array
<06186> (8800)_?
[am] not I a Philistine
<06430>_,
and ye servants
<05650>
to Saul
<07586>_?
choose
<01262> (8798)
you a man
<0376>
for you, and let him come down
<03381> (8799)
to me.
17:9
If he be able
<03201> (8799)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with me, and to kill
<05221> (8689)
me, then will we be your servants
<05650>_:
but if I prevail
<03201> (8799)
against him, and kill
<05221> (8689)
him, then shall ye be our servants
<05650>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
us.
17:10
And the Philistine
<06430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I defy
<02778> (8765)
the armies
<04634>
of Israel
<03478>
this day
<03117>_;
give
<05414> (8798)
me a man
<0376>_,
that we may fight
<03898> (8735)
together
<03162>_.
17:11
When Saul
<07586>
and all Israel
<03478>
heard
<08085> (8799)
those words
<01697>
of the Philistine
<06430>_,
they were dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,
and greatly
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
17:12
Now David
<01732>
[was] the son
<01121>
of that Ephrathite
<0376> <0673>
of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Jesse
<03448>_;
and he had eight
<08083>
sons
<01121>_:
and the man
<0376>
went
<0935> (8804)
among men
<0582>
[for] an old man
<02204> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of Saul
<07586>_.
17:13
And the three
<07969>
eldest
<01419>
sons
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>
went
<03212> (8799)
[and] followed
<0310>
Saul
<07586>
to the battle
<04421>_:
and the names
<08034>
of his three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
that went
<01980> (8804)
to the battle
<04421>
[were] Eliab
<0446>
the firstborn
<01060>_,
and next
<04932>
unto him Abinadab
<041>_,
and the third
<07992>
Shammah
<08048>_.
17:14
And David
<01732>
[was] the youngest
<06996>_:
and the three
<07969>
eldest
<01419>
followed
<01980> (8804) <0310>
Saul
<07586>_.
17:15
But David
<01732>
went
<01980> (8802)
and returned
<07725> (8802)
from Saul
<07586>
to feed
<07462> (8800)
his father's
<01>
sheep
<06629>
at Bethlehem
<01035>_.
17:16
And the Philistine
<06430>
drew near
<05066> (8799)
morning
<07925> (8687)
and evening
<06150> (8687)_,
and presented
<03320> (8691)
himself forty
<0705>
days
<03117>_.
17:17
And Jesse
<03448>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>
his son
<01121>_,
Take
<03947> (8798)
now for thy brethren
<0251>
an ephah
<0374>
of this
<02088>
parched
<07039>
[corn], and these ten
<06235>
loaves
<03899>_,
and run
<07323> (8685)
to the camp
<04264>
to thy brethren
<0251>_;
17:18
And carry
<0935> (8686)
these ten
<06235>
cheeses
<02461> <02757>
unto the captain
<08269>
of [their] thousand
<0505>_,
and look
<06485> (8799)
how thy brethren
<0251>
fare
<07965>_,
and take
<03947> (8799)
their pledge
<06161>_.
{cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of...: Heb. of a thousand}
17:19
Now Saul
<07586>_,
and they, and all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[were] in the valley
<06010>
of Elah
<0425>_,
fighting
<03898> (8737)
with the Philistines
<06430>_.
17:20
And David
<01732>
rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and left
<05203> (8799)
the sheep
<06629>
with a keeper
<08104> (8802)_,
and took
<05375> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)_,
as Jesse
<03448>
had commanded
<06680> (8765)
him; and he came
<0935> (8799)
to the trench
<04570>_,
as the host
<02428>
was going forth
<03318> (8802)
to the fight
<04634>_,
and shouted
<07321> (8689)
for the battle
<04421>_.
{trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}
17:21
For Israel
<03478>
and the Philistines
<06430>
had put the battle in array
<06186> (8799)_,
army
<04634>
against
<07125> (8800)
army
<04634>_.
17:22
And David
<01732>
left
<05203> (8799)
his carriage
<03627>
in the hand
<03027>
of the keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the carriage
<03627>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
into the army
<04634>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>
his brethren
<0251>_.
{his carriage: Heb. the vessels from upon him} {saluted...: Heb. asked his brethren of peace}
17:23
And as he talked
<01696> (8764)
with them, behold, there came up
<05927> (8802)
the champion
<0376> <01143>_,
the Philistine
<06430>
of Gath
<01661>_,
Goliath
<01555>
by name
<08034>_,
out of the armies
<04634> (8675) <04630>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
according to the same
<0428>
words
<01697>_:
and David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[them].
17:24
And all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_,
when they saw
<07200> (8800)
the man
<0376>_,
fled
<05127> (8799)
from him
<06440>_,
and were sore
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
{from...: Heb. from his face}
17:25
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Have ye seen
<07200> (8804)
this man
<0376>
that is come up
<05927> (8802)_?
surely to defy
<02778> (8763)
Israel
<03478>
is he come up
<05927> (8802)_:
and it shall be, [that] the man
<0376>
who killeth
<05221> (8686)
him, the king
<04428>
will enrich
<06238> (8686)
him with great
<01419>
riches
<06239>_,
and will give
<05414> (8799)
him his daughter
<01323>_,
and make
<06213> (8799)
his father's
<01>
house
<01004>
free
<02670>
in Israel
<03478>_.
17:26
And David
<01732>
spake
<0559> (8799)
to the men
<0582>
that stood
<05975> (8802)
by him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What shall be done
<06213> (8735)
to the man
<0376>
that killeth
<05221> (8686)
this
<01975>
Philistine
<06430>_,
and taketh away
<05493> (8689)
the reproach
<02781>
from Israel
<03478>_?
for who [is] this uncircumcised
<06189>
Philistine
<06430>_,
that he should defy
<02778> (8765)
the armies
<04634>
of the living
<02416>
God
<0430>_?
17:27
And the people
<05971>
answered
<0559> (8799)
him after this manner
<01697>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
So shall it be done
<06213> (8735)
to the man
<0376>
that killeth
<05221> (8686)
him.
17:28
And Eliab
<0446>
his eldest
<01419>
brother
<0251>
heard
<08085> (8799)
when he spake
<01696> (8763)
unto the men
<0582>_;
and Eliab's
<0446>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against David
<01732>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Why camest thou down
<03381> (8804)
hither? and with whom hast thou left
<05203> (8804)
those
<02007>
few
<04592>
sheep
<06629>
in the wilderness
<04057>_?
I know
<03045> (8804)
thy pride
<02087>_,
and the naughtiness
<07455>
of thine heart
<03824>_;
for thou art come down
<03381> (8804)
that thou mightest see
<07200> (8800)
the battle
<04421>_.
17:29
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What have I now done
<06213> (8804)_?
[Is there] not a cause
<01697>_?
17:30
And he turned
<05437> (8735)
from him
<0681>
toward
<04136>
another
<0312>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
after the same manner
<01697>_:
and the people
<05971>
answered
<01697>
him again
<07725> (8686)
after the former
<07223>
manner
<01697>_.
{manner: Heb. word}
17:31
And when the words
<01697>
were heard
<08085> (8735)
which David
<01732>
spake
<01696> (8765)_,
they rehearsed
<05046> (8686)
[them] before
<06440>
Saul
<07586>_:
and he sent
<03947> (8799)
for him. {sent...: Heb. took him}
17:32
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Saul
<07586>_,
Let no man's
<0120>
heart
<03820>
fail
<05307> (8799)
because of him; thy servant
<05650>
will go
<03212> (8799)
and fight
<03898> (8738)
with this Philistine
<06430>_.
17:33
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
Thou art not able
<03201> (8799)
to go
<03212> (8800)
against this Philistine
<06430>
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with him: for thou [art but] a youth
<05288>_,
and he a man
<0376>
of war
<04421>
from his youth
<05271>_.
17:34
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Thy servant
<05650>
kept
<07462> (8802)
his father's
<01>
sheep
<06629>_,
and there came
<0935> (8804)
a lion
<0738>_,
and a bear
<01677>_,
and took
<05375> (8804)
a lamb
<07716> (8675) <02089>
out of the flock
<05739>_:
{lamb: or, kid}
17:35
And I went out
<03318> (8804)
after
<0310>
him, and smote
<05221> (8689)
him, and delivered
<05337> (8689)
[it] out of his mouth
<06310>_:
and when he arose
<06965> (8799)
against me, I caught
<02388> (8689)
[him] by his beard
<02206>_,
and smote
<05221> (8689)
him, and slew
<04191> (8689)
him.
17:36
Thy servant
<05650>
slew
<05221> (8689)
both the lion
<0738>
and the bear
<01677>_:
and this uncircumcised
<06189>
Philistine
<06430>
shall be as one
<0259>
of them, seeing he hath defied
<02778> (8765)
the armies
<04634>
of the living
<02416>
God
<0430>_.
17:37
David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
moreover, The LORD
<03068>
that delivered
<05337> (8689)
me out of the paw
<03027>
of the lion
<0738>_,
and out of the paw
<03027>
of the bear
<01677>_,
he will deliver
<05337> (8686)
me out of the hand
<03027>
of this Philistine
<06430>_.
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
be with thee.
17:38
And Saul
<07586>
armed
<03847> (8686)
David
<01732>
with his armour
<04055>_,
and he put
<05414> (8804)
an helmet
<06959>
of brass
<05178>
upon his head
<07218>_;
also he armed
<03847> (8686)
him with a coat of mail
<08302>_.
{armed David...: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}
17:39
And David
<01732>
girded
<02296> (8799)
his sword
<02719>
upon his armour
<04055>_,
and he assayed
<02974> (8686)
to go
<03212> (8800)_;
for he had not proved
<05254> (8765)
[it]. And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go
<03212> (8800)
with these; for I have not proved
<05254> (8765)
[them]. And David
<01732>
put
<05493> (8686)
them off him.
17:40
And he took
<03947> (8799)
his staff
<04731>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and chose
<0977> (8799)
him five
<02568>
smooth
<02512>
stones
<068>
out of the brook
<05158>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
them in a shepherd's
<07462> (8802)
bag
<03627>
which he had, even in a scrip
<03219>_;
and his sling
<07050>
[was] in his hand
<03027>_:
and he drew near
<05066> (8799)
to the Philistine
<06430>_.
{brook: or, valley} {bag: Heb. vessel}
17:41
And the Philistine
<06430>
came
<03212> (8799)
on
<01980> (8802)
and drew near
<07131>
unto David
<01732>_;
and the man
<0376>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
the shield
<06793>
[went] before
<06440>
him.
17:42
And when the Philistine
<06430>
looked about
<05027> (8686)_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
David
<01732>_,
he disdained
<0959> (8799)
him: for he was [but] a youth
<05288>_,
and ruddy
<0132>_,
and of a fair
<03303>
countenance
<04758>_.
17:43
And the Philistine
<06430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto David
<01732>_,
[Am] I a dog
<03611>_,
that thou comest
<0935> (8802)
to me with staves
<04731>_?
And the Philistine
<06430>
cursed
<07043> (8762)
David
<01732>
by his gods
<0430>_.
17:44
And the Philistine
<06430>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
to me, and I will give
<05414> (8799)
thy flesh
<01320>
unto the fowls
<05775>
of the air
<08064>_,
and to the beasts
<0929>
of the field
<07704>_.
17:45
Then said
<0559> (8799)
David
<01732>
to the Philistine
<06430>_,
Thou comest
<0935> (8802)
to me with a sword
<02719>_,
and with a spear
<02595>_,
and with a shield
<03591>_:
but I come
<0935> (8802)
to thee in the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of the armies
<04634>
of Israel
<03478>_,
whom thou hast defied
<02778> (8765)_.
17:46
This day
<03117>
will the LORD
<03068>
deliver
<05462> (8762)
thee into mine hand
<03027>_;
and I will smite
<05221> (8689)
thee, and take
<05493> (8689)
thine head
<07218>
from thee; and I will give
<05414> (8804)
the carcases
<06297>
of the host
<04264>
of the Philistines
<06430>
this day
<03117>
unto the fowls
<05775>
of the air
<08064>_,
and to the wild beasts
<02416>
of the earth
<0776>_;
that all the earth
<0776>
may know
<03045> (8799)
that there is
<03426>
a God
<0430>
in Israel
<03478>_.
{deliver...: Heb. shut thee up}
17:47
And all this assembly
<06951>
shall know
<03045> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
saveth
<03467> (8686)
not with sword
<02719>
and spear
<02595>_:
for the battle
<04421>
[is] the LORD'S
<03068>_,
and he will give
<05414> (8804)
you into our hands
<03027>_.
17:48
And it came to pass, when the Philistine
<06430>
arose
<06965> (8804)_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
and drew nigh
<07126> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
David
<01732>_,
that David
<01732>
hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
toward the army
<04634>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
the Philistine
<06430>_.
17:49
And David
<01732>
put
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
in his bag
<03627>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
thence a stone
<068>_,
and slang
<07049> (8762)
[it], and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistine
<06430>
in his forehead
<04696>_,
that the stone
<068>
sunk
<02883> (8799)
into his forehead
<04696>_;
and he fell
<05307> (8799)
upon his face
<06440>
to the earth
<0776>_.
17:50
So David
<01732>
prevailed
<02388> (8799)
over
<04480>
the Philistine
<06430>
with a sling
<07050>
and with a stone
<068>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistine
<06430>_,
and slew
<04191> (8686)
him; but [there was] no sword
<02719>
in the hand
<03027>
of David
<01732>_.
17:51
Therefore David
<01732>
ran
<07323> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
upon the Philistine
<06430>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
his sword
<02719>_,
and drew
<08025> (8799)
it out of the sheath
<08593>
thereof, and slew
<04191> (8787)
him, and cut off
<03772> (8799)
his head
<07218>
therewith. And when the Philistines
<06430>
saw
<07200> (8799)
their champion
<01368>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
they fled
<05127> (8799)_.
17:52
And the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>
and of Judah
<03063>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and shouted
<07321> (8686)_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
until thou come
<0935> (8800)
to the valley
<01516>_,
and to the gates
<08179>
of Ekron
<06138>_.
And the wounded
<02491>
of the Philistines
<06430>
fell down
<05307> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
to Shaaraim
<08189>_,
even unto Gath
<01661>_,
and unto Ekron
<06138>_.
17:53
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
returned
<07725> (8799)
from chasing
<01814> (8800)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_,
and they spoiled
<08155> (8799)
their tents
<04264>_.
17:54
And David
<01732>
took
<03947> (8799)
the head
<07218>
of the Philistine
<06430>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it to Jerusalem
<03389>_;
but he put
<07760> (8804)
his armour
<03627>
in his tent
<0168>_.
17:55
And when Saul
<07586>
saw
<07200> (8800)
David
<01732>
go forth
<03318> (8802)
against
<07125> (8800)
the Philistine
<06430>_,
he said
<0559> (8804)
unto Abner
<074>_,
the captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>_,
Abner
<074>_,
whose son
<01121>
[is] this youth
<05288>_?
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
O king
<04428>_,
I cannot
<0518>
tell
<03045> (8804)_.
17:56
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Enquire
<07592> (8798)
thou whose son
<01121>
the stripling
<05958>
[is].
17:57
And as David
<01732>
returned
<07725> (8800)
from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)
of the Philistine
<06430>_,
Abner
<074>
took
<03947> (8799)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him before
<06440>
Saul
<07586>
with the head
<07218>
of the Philistine
<06430>
in his hand
<03027>_.
17:58
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Whose son
<01121>
[art] thou, [thou] young man
<05288>_?
And David
<01732>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the son
<01121>
of thy servant
<05650>
Jesse
<03448>
the Bethlehemite
<01022>_.
18:1
And it came to pass, when he had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
that the soul
<05315>
of Jonathan
<03083>
was knit
<07194> (8738)
with the soul
<05315>
of David
<01732>_,
and Jonathan
<03083>
loved
<0157> (8799)
him as his own soul
<05315>_.
18:2
And Saul
<07586>
took
<03947> (8799)
him that day
<03117>_,
and would let
<05414> (8804)
him go no more home
<07725> (8800)
to his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
18:3
Then Jonathan
<03083>
and David
<01732>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>_,
because he loved
<0160>
him as his own soul
<05315>_.
18:4
And Jonathan
<03083>
stripped
<06584> (8691)
himself of the robe
<04598>
that [was] upon him, and gave
<05414> (8799)
it to David
<01732>_,
and his garments
<04055>_,
even to his sword
<02719>_,
and to his bow
<07198>_,
and to his girdle
<02289>_.
18:5
And David
<01732>
went out
<03318> (8799)
whithersoever Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
him, [and] behaved himself wisely
<07919> (8686)_:
and Saul
<07586>
set
<07760> (8799)
him over the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>_,
and he was accepted
<03190> (8799)
in the sight
<05869>
of all the people
<05971>_,
and also in the sight
<05869>
of Saul's
<07586>
servants
<05650>_.
{behaved...: or, prospered}
18:6
And it came to pass as they came
<0935> (8800)_,
when David
<01732>
was returned
<07725> (8800)
from the slaughter
<05221> (8687)
of the Philistine
<06430>_,
that the women
<0802>
came out
<03318> (8799)
of all cities
<05892>
of Israel
<03478>_,
singing
<07891> (8800)
and dancing
<04246>_,
to meet
<07125> (8800)
king
<04428>
Saul
<07586>_,
with tabrets
<08596>_,
with joy
<08057>_,
and with instruments
<07991>
of musick. {Philistine: or, Philistines} {instruments...: Heb. three stringed instruments}
18:7
And the women
<0802>
answered
<06030> (8799)
[one another] as they played
<07832> (8764)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Saul
<07586>
hath slain
<05221> (8689)
his thousands
<0505>_,
and David
<01732>
his ten thousands
<07233>_.
18:8
And Saul
<07586>
was very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
and the saying
<01697>
displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>
him; and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
They have ascribed
<05414> (8804)
unto David
<01732>
ten thousands
<07233>_,
and to me they have ascribed
<05414> (8804)
[but] thousands
<0505>_:
and [what] can he have more but the kingdom
<04410>_?
{displeased him: Heb. was evil in his eyes}
18:9
And Saul
<07586>
eyed
<05770> (8802)
David
<01732>
from that day
<03117>
and forward
<01973>_.
18:10
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
that the evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
from God
<0430>
came
<06743> (8799)
upon Saul
<07586>_,
and he prophesied
<05012> (8691)
in the midst
<08432>
of the house
<01004>_:
and David
<01732>
played
<05059> (8764)
with his hand
<03027>_,
as at other times
<03117>_:
and [there was] a javelin
<02595>
in Saul's
<07586>
hand
<03027>_.
18:11
And Saul
<07586>
cast
<02904> (8686)
the javelin
<02595>_;
for he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will smite
<05221> (8686)
David
<01732>
even to the wall
<07023>
[with it]. And David
<01732>
avoided out
<05437> (8735)
of his presence
<06440>
twice
<06471>_.
18:12
And Saul
<07586>
was afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
David
<01732>_,
because the LORD
<03068>
was with him, and was departed
<05493> (8804)
from Saul
<07586>_.
18:13
Therefore Saul
<07586>
removed
<05493> (8686)
him from him, and made
<07760> (8799)
him his captain
<08269>
over a thousand
<0505>_;
and he went out
<03318> (8799)
and came in
<0935> (8799)
before
<06440>
the people
<05971>_.
18:14
And David
<01732>
behaved himself wisely
<07919> (8688)
in all his ways
<01870>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
[was] with him. {behaved...: or, prospered}
18:15
Wherefore when Saul
<07586>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that he behaved
<07919> (0)
himself very
<03966>
wisely
<07919> (8688)_,
he was afraid
<01481> (8799)
of
<06440>
him.
18:16
But all Israel
<03478>
and Judah
<03063>
loved
<0157> (8802)
David
<01732>_,
because he went out
<03318> (8802)
and came in
<0935> (8802)
before
<06440>
them.
18:17
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
Behold my elder
<01419>
daughter
<01323>
Merab
<04764>_,
her will I give
<05414> (8799)
thee to wife
<0802>_:
only be thou valiant
<01121> <02428>
for me, and fight
<03898> (8734)
the LORD'S
<03068>
battles
<04421>_.
For Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Let not mine hand
<03027>
be upon him, but let the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>
be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}
18:18
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Who [am] I? and what [is] my life
<02416>_,
[or] my father's
<01>
family
<04940>
in Israel
<03478>_,
that I should be son in law
<02860>
to the king
<04428>_?
18:19
But it came to pass at the time
<06256>
when Merab
<04764>
Saul's
<07586>
daughter
<01323>
should have been given
<05414> (8800)
to David
<01732>_,
that she was given
<05414> (8738)
unto Adriel
<05741>
the Meholathite
<04259>
to wife
<0802>_.
18:20
And Michal
<04324>
Saul's
<07586>
daughter
<01323>
loved
<0157> (8799)
David
<01732>_:
and they told
<05046> (8686)
Saul
<07586>_,
and the thing
<01697>
pleased
<03474> (8799) <05869>
him. {pleased him: Heb. was right in his eyes}
18:21
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will give
<05414> (8799)
him her, that she may be a snare
<04170>
to him, and that the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>
may be against him. Wherefore Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
Thou shalt this day
<03117>
be my son in law
<02859> (8691)
in [the one of] the twain
<08147>_.
18:22
And Saul
<07586>
commanded
<06680> (8762)
his servants
<05650>_,
[saying], Commune
<01696> (8761)
with David
<01732>
secretly
<03909>_,
and say
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, the king
<04428>
hath delight
<02654> (8804)
in thee, and all his servants
<05650>
love
<0157> (8804)
thee: now therefore be the king's
<04428>
son in law
<02859> (8690)_.
18:23
And Saul's
<07586>
servants
<05650>
spake
<01696> (8762)
those words
<01697>
in the ears
<0241>
of David
<01732>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Seemeth
<05869>
it to you [a] light
<07043> (8738)
[thing] to be a king's
<04428>
son in law
<02859> (8692)_,
seeing that I [am] a poor
<07326> (8802)
man
<0376>_,
and lightly esteemed
<07034> (8737)_?
18:24
And the servants
<05650>
of Saul
<07586>
told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
On this manner
<01697>
spake
<01696> (8765)
David
<01732>_.
{On...: Heb. According to these words}
18:25
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)
to David
<01732>_,
The king
<04428>
desireth
<02656>
not any dowry
<04119>_,
but an hundred
<03967>
foreskins
<06190>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
to be avenged
<05358> (8736)
of the king's
<04428>
enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
But Saul
<07586>
thought
<02803> (8804)
to make David
<01732>
fall
<05307> (8687)
by the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
18:26
And when his servants
<05650>
told
<05046> (8686)
David
<01732>
these words
<01697>_,
it pleased
<03474> (8799) <01697> <05869>
David
<01732>
well to be the king's
<04428>
son in law
<02859> (8692)_:
and the days
<03117>
were not expired
<04390> (8804)_.
{expired: Heb. fulfilled}
18:27
Wherefore David
<01732>
arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)_,
he and his men
<0582>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
of the Philistines
<06430>
two hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_;
and David
<01732>
brought
<0935> (8686)
their foreskins
<06190>_,
and they gave them in full tale
<04390> (8762)
to the king
<04428>_,
that he might be the king's
<04428>
son in law
<02859> (8692)_.
And Saul
<07586>
gave
<05414> (8799)
him Michal
<04324>
his daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>_.
18:28
And Saul
<07586>
saw
<07200> (8799)
and knew
<03045> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
[was] with David
<01732>_,
and [that] Michal
<04324>
Saul's
<07586>
daughter
<01323>
loved
<0157> (8804)
him.
18:29
And Saul
<07586>
was yet the more
<03254> (8686)
afraid
<03372> (8800)
of
<06440>
David
<01732>_;
and Saul
<07586>
became David's
<01732>
enemy
<0341> (8802)
continually
<03117>_.
18:30
Then the princes
<08269>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went forth
<03318> (8799)_:
and it came to pass, after
<01767>
they went forth
<03318> (8800)_,
[that] David
<01732>
behaved himself more wisely
<07919> (8804)
than all the servants
<05650>
of Saul
<07586>_;
so that his name
<08034>
was much
<03966>
set by
<03365> (8799)_.
{set by: Heb. precious}
19:1
And Saul
<07586>
spake
<01696> (8762)
to Jonathan
<03129>
his son
<01121>_,
and to all his servants
<05650>_,
that they should kill
<04191> (8687)
David
<01732>_.
19:2
But Jonathan
<03083>
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>
delighted
<02654> (8804)
much
<03966>
in David
<01732>_:
and Jonathan
<03083>
told
<05046> (8686)
David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Saul
<07586>
my father
<01>
seeketh
<01245> (8764)
to kill
<04191> (8687)
thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed
<08104> (8734)
to thyself until the morning
<01242>_,
and abide
<03427> (8804)
in a secret
<05643>
[place], and hide
<02244> (8738)
thyself:
19:3
And I will go out
<03318> (8799)
and stand
<05975> (8804)
beside
<03027>
my father
<01>
in the field
<07704>
where thou [art], and I will commune
<01696> (8762)
with my father
<01>
of thee; and what
<04100>
I see
<07200> (8804)_,
that I will tell
<05046> (8689)
thee.
19:4
And Jonathan
<03083>
spake
<01696> (8762)
good
<02896>
of David
<01732>
unto Saul
<07586>
his father
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Let not the king
<04428>
sin
<02398> (8799)
against his servant
<05650>_,
against David
<01732>_;
because he hath not sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thee, and because his works
<04639>
[have been] to thee-ward very
<03966>
good
<02896>_:
19:5
For he did put
<07760> (8799)
his life
<05315>
in his hand
<03709>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
the Philistine
<06430>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
wrought
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
salvation
<08668>
for all Israel
<03478>_:
thou sawest
<07200> (8804)
[it], and didst rejoice
<08055> (8799)_:
wherefore then wilt thou sin
<02398> (8799)
against innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>_,
to slay
<04191> (8687)
David
<01732>
without a cause
<02600>_?
19:6
And Saul
<07586>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto the voice
<06963>
of Jonathan
<03083>_:
and Saul
<07586>
sware
<07650> (8735)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
he shall not
<0518>
be slain
<04191> (8714)_.
19:7
And Jonathan
<03083>
called
<07121> (8799)
David
<01732>_,
and Jonathan
<03083>
shewed
<05046> (8686)
him all those things
<01697>_.
And Jonathan
<03083>
brought
<0935> (8686)
David
<01732>
to Saul
<07586>_,
and he was in his presence
<06440>_,
as in times past
<0865> <08032>_.
{in times...: Heb. yesterday, third day}
19:8
And there was war
<04421>
again
<03254> (8686)_:
and David
<01732>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
with the Philistines
<06430>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
them with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_;
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
from
<06440>
him. {him: Heb. his face}
19:9
And the evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
from the LORD
<03068>
was upon Saul
<07586>_,
as he sat
<03427> (8802)
in his house
<01004>
with his javelin
<02595>
in his hand
<03027>_:
and David
<01732>
played
<05059> (8764)
with [his] hand
<03027>_.
19:10
And Saul
<07586>
sought
<01245> (8762)
to smite
<05221> (8687)
David
<01732>
even to the wall
<07023>
with the javelin
<02595>_;
but he slipped away
<06362> (8799)
out of Saul's
<07586>
presence
<06440>_,
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the javelin
<02595>
into the wall
<07023>_:
and David
<01732>
fled
<05127> (8804)_,
and escaped
<04422> (8735)
that night
<03915>_.
19:11
Saul
<07586>
also sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto David's
<01732>
house
<01004>_,
to watch
<08104> (8800)
him, and to slay
<04191> (8687)
him in the morning
<01242>_:
and Michal
<04324>
David's
<01732>
wife
<0802>
told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If thou save
<04422> (8764)
not thy life
<05315>
to night
<03915>_,
to morrow
<04279>
thou shalt be slain
<04191> (8716)_.
19:12
So Michal
<04324>
let
<03381> (0)
David
<01732>
down
<03381> (8686)
through a window
<02474>_:
and he went
<03212> (8799)_,
and fled
<01272> (8799)_,
and escaped
<04422> (8735)_.
19:13
And Michal
<04324>
took
<03947> (8799)
an image
<08655>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] in the bed
<04296>_,
and put
<07760> (8804)
a pillow
<03523>
of goats
<05795>_'
[hair] for his bolster
<04763>_,
and covered
<03680> (8762)
[it] with a cloth
<0899>_.
{image: Heb. teraphim}
19:14
And when Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to take
<03947> (8800)
David
<01732>_,
she said
<0559> (8799)_,
He [is] sick
<02470> (8802)_.
19:15
And Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
the messengers
<04397>
[again] to see
<07200> (8800)
David
<01732>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Bring him up
<05927> (8685)
to me in the bed
<04296>_,
that I may slay
<04191> (8687)
him.
19:16
And when the messengers
<04397>
were come in
<0935> (8799)_,
behold, [there was] an image
<08655>
in the bed
<04296>_,
with a pillow
<03523>
of goats
<05795>_'
[hair] for his bolster
<04763>_.
19:17
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Michal
<04324>_,
Why hast thou deceived me so
<07411> (8765)_,
and sent away
<07971> (8762)
mine enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
that he is escaped
<04422> (8735)_?
And Michal
<04324>
answered
<0559> (8799)
Saul
<07586>_,
He said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Let me go
<07971> (8761)_;
why should I kill
<04191> (8686)
thee?
19:18
So David
<01732>
fled
<01272> (8804)_,
and escaped
<04422> (8735)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>
to Ramah
<07414>_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him all that Saul
<07586>
had done
<06213> (8804)
to him. And he and Samuel
<08050>
went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Naioth
<05121>_.
19:19
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Saul
<07586>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, David
<01732>
[is] at Naioth
<05121>
in Ramah
<07414>_.
19:20
And Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to take
<03947> (8800)
David
<01732>_:
and when they saw
<07200> (8799)
the company
<03862>
of the prophets
<05030>
prophesying
<05012> (8737)_,
and Samuel
<08050>
standing
<05975> (8802)
[as] appointed
<05324> (8737)
over them, the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
was upon the messengers
<04397>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and they also prophesied
<05012> (8691)_.
19:21
And when it was told
<05046> (8686)
Saul
<07586>_,
he sent
<07971> (8799)
other
<0312>
messengers
<04397>_,
and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)
likewise. And Saul
<07586>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
again
<03254> (8686)
the third
<07992>
time, and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)
also.
19:22
Then went
<03212> (8799)
he also to Ramah
<07414>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to a great
<01419>
well
<0953>
that [is] in Sechu
<07906>_:
and he asked
<07592> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Where
<0375>
[are] Samuel
<08050>
and David
<01732>_?
And [one] said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [they be] at Naioth
<05121>
in Ramah
<07414>_.
19:23
And he went
<03212> (8799)
thither to Naioth
<05121>
in Ramah
<07414>_:
and the Spirit
<07307>
of God
<0430>
was upon him also, and he went
<03212> (8799)
on
<01980> (8800)_,
and prophesied
<05012> (8691)_,
until he came
<0935> (8800)
to Naioth
<05121>
in Ramah
<07414>_.
19:24
And he stripped off
<06584> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>
also
<01571>_,
and prophesied
<05012> (8691)
before
<06440>
Samuel
<08050>
in like manner, and lay down
<05307> (8799)
naked
<06174>
all that day
<03117>
and all that night
<03915>_.
Wherefore they say
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is] Saul
<07586>
also among the prophets
<05030>_?
