1 Samuel 2:1

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>_.

1 Samuel 13:1-23

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}

1 Samuel 27:1-12

27:1

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

I shall now perish
<05595> (8735)

one
<0259>

day
<03117>

by the hand
<03027>

of Saul
<07586>_:

[there is] nothing better
<02896>

for me than that
<03588>

I should speedily
<04422> (8736)

escape
<04422> (8735)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>_;

and Saul
<07586>

shall despair
<02976> (8738)

of me, to seek
<01245> (8763)

me any more in any coast
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_:

so shall I escape
<04422> (8738)

out of his hand
<03027>_.

{perish: Heb. be consumed}

27:2

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and he passed over
<05674> (8799)

with the six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that [were] with him unto Achish
<0397>_,

the son
<01121>

of Maoch
<04582>_,

king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

27:3

And David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

with Achish
<0397>

at Gath
<01661>_,

he and his men
<0582>_,

every man
<0376>

with his household
<01004>_,

[even] David
<01732>

with his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_,

Ahinoam
<0293>

the Jezreelitess
<03159>_,

and Abigail
<026>

the Carmelitess
<03762>_,

Nabal's
<05037>

wife
<0802>_.

27:4

And it was told
<05046> (8714)

Saul
<07586>

that David
<01732>

was fled
<01272> (8804)

to Gath
<01661>_:

and he sought
<01245> (8763)

no more again
<03254> (8804) (8675) <03254> (8686)

for him.

27:5

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Achish
<0397>_,

If I have now found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thine eyes
<05869>_,

let them give
<05414> (8799)

me a place
<04725>

in some
<0259>

town
<05892>

in the country
<07704>_,

that I may dwell
<03427> (8799)

there: for why should thy servant
<05650>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the royal
<04467>

city
<05892>

with thee?

27:6

Then Achish
<0397>

gave
<05414> (8799)

him Ziklag
<06860>

that day
<03117>_:

wherefore Ziklag
<06860>

pertaineth unto the kings
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

unto this day
<03117>_.

27:7

And the time
<04557> <03117>

that David
<01732>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)

in the country
<07704>

of the Philistines
<06430>

was a full year
<03117>

and four
<0702>

months
<02320>_.

{the time: Heb. the number of days} {a full year: Heb. a year of days}

27:8

And David
<01732>

and his men
<0582>

went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and invaded
<06584> (8799)

the Geshurites
<01651>_,

and the Gezrites
<01511>_,

and the Amalekites
<06003>_:

for those
<02007>

[nations were] of old
<05769>

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

as thou goest
<0935> (8800)

to Shur
<07793>_,

even unto the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

{Gezrites: or, Gerzites}

27:9

And David
<01732>

smote
<05221> (8689)

the land
<0776>_,

and left neither man
<0376>

nor woman
<0802>

alive
<02421> (8762)_,

and took away
<03947> (8804)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and the oxen
<01241>_,

and the asses
<02543>_,

and the camels
<01581>_,

and the apparel
<0899>_,

and returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Achish
<0397>_.

27:10

And Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Whither
<0408>

have ye made a road
<06584> (8804)

to day
<03117>_?

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Against the south
<05045>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and against the south
<05045>

of the Jerahmeelites
<03397>_,

and against the south
<05045>

of the Kenites
<07017>_.

{Whither...: or, Did you not make a road, etc}

27:11

And David
<01732>

saved
<02421> (8762)

neither man
<0376>

nor woman
<0802>

alive
<02421> (8762)_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

[tidings] to Gath
<01661>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Lest they should tell
<05046> (8686)

on us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

So did
<06213> (8804)

David
<01732>_,

and so [will be] his manner
<04941>

all the while
<03117>

he dwelleth
<03427> (8804)

in the country
<07704>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

27:12

And Achish
<0397>

believed
<0539> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

He hath made his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>

utterly
<0887> (8687)

to abhor
<0887> (8689)

him; therefore he shall be my servant
<05650>

for ever
<05769>_.

{utterly...: Heb. to stink}
