1 Samuel 10:17--12:25

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>_.
