1 Samuel 2:11--4:1

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>_.
