1 Samuel 1:1--4:22

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>_:
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>_.
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}
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>_:
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}
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}
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}
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>_?
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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.
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}
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}
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.
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].
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.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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>_.
And they slew
<07819> (8799)
a bullock
<06499>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
the child
<05288>
to Eli
<05941>_.
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>_.
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:
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}
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>_.
[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>_.
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}
The bows
<07198>
of the mighty men
<01368>
[are] broken
<02844>_,
and they that stumbled
<03782> (8737)
are girded
<0247> (8804)
with strength
<02428>_.
[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)_.
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)_.
The LORD
<03068>
maketh poor
<03423> (8688)_,
and maketh rich
<06238> (8688)_:
he bringeth low
<08213> (8688)_,
and
<0637>
lifteth up
<07311> (8789)_.
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.
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)_.
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>_.
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>_.
Now the sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>
[were] sons
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_;
they knew
<03045> (8804)
not the LORD
<03068>_.
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>_;
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.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
But Samuel
<08050>
ministered
<08334> (8764)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
[being] a child
<05288>_,
girded
<02296> (8803)
with a linen
<0906>
ephod
<0646>_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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.
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>_.
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>_?
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>_?
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>_?
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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)_;
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];
That the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_:
and he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
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)_.
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)_.
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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)_.
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)_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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.
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}
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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}
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>_.
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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)_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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}
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)_.
