1 Samuel 10:1--11:15

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>_.
