23:6

And it came to pass, when Abiathar
<054>

the son
<01121>

of Ahimelech
<0288>

fled
<01272> (8800)

to David
<01732>

to Keilah
<07084>_,

[that] he came down
<03381> (8804)

[with] an ephod
<0646>

in his hand
<03027>_.

1 Samuel 23:1

23:1

Then they told
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the Philistines
<06430>

fight
<03898> (8737)

against Keilah
<07084>_,

and they rob
<08154> (8802)

the threshingfloors
<01637>_.

1 Samuel 7:1--8:22

7:1

And the men
<0582>

of Kirjathjearim
<07157>

came
<0935> (8799)_,

and fetched up
<05927> (8686)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

it into the house
<01004>

of Abinadab
<041>

in the hill
<01389>_,

and sanctified
<06942> (8765)

Eleazar
<0499>

his son
<01121>

to keep
<08104> (8800)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

7:2

And it came to pass, while
<03117>

the ark
<0727>

abode
<03427> (8800)

in Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,

that the time
<03117>

was long
<07235> (8799)_;

for it was twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>_:

and all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

lamented
<05091> (8735)

after
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:3

And Samuel
<08050>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto all the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

If ye do return
<07725> (8802)

unto the LORD
<03068>

with all your hearts
<03824>_,

[then] put away
<05493> (8685)

the strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>

and Ashtaroth
<06252>

from among
<08432>

you, and prepare
<03559> (8685)

your hearts
<03824>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

him only: and he will deliver
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

7:4

Then the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did put away
<05493> (8686)

Baalim
<01168>

and Ashtaroth
<06252>_,

and served
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

only.

7:5

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Gather
<06908> (8798)

all Israel
<03478>

to Mizpeh
<04708>_,

and I will pray
<06419> (8691)

for you unto the LORD
<03068>_.

7:6

And they gathered together
<06908> (8735)

to Mizpeh
<04709>_,

and drew
<07579> (8799)

water
<04325>_,

and poured [it] out
<08210> (8799)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

and fasted
<06684> (8799)

on that day
<03117>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

there, We have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

judged
<08199> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

in Mizpeh
<04708>_.

7:7

And when the Philistines
<06430>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were gathered together
<06908> (8694)

to Mizpeh
<04708>_,

the lords
<05633>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went up
<05927> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_.

And when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], they were afraid
<03372> (8799)

of
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_.

7:8

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>_,

Cease
<02790> (8686)

not to cry
<02199> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

for us, that he will save
<03467> (8686)

us out of the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

{Cease...: Heb. Be not silent from us from crying}

7:9

And Samuel
<08050>

took
<03947> (8799)

a
<0259>

sucking
<02461>

lamb
<02924>_,

and offered
<05927> (8686)

[it for] a burnt offering
<05930>

wholly
<03632>

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

and Samuel
<08050>

cried
<02199> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

for Israel
<03478>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

heard
<06030> (8799)

him. {heard: or, answered}

7:10

And as Samuel
<08050>

was offering up
<05927> (8688)

the burnt offering
<05930>_,

the Philistines
<06430>

drew near
<05066> (8738)

to battle
<04421>

against Israel
<03478>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

thundered
<07481> (8686)

with a great
<01419>

thunder
<06963>

on that day
<03117>

upon the Philistines
<06430>_,

and discomfited
<02000> (8799)

them; and they were smitten
<05062> (8735)

before
<06440>

Israel
<03478>_.

7:11

And the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

went out
<03318> (8799)

of Mizpeh
<04709>_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

them, until [they came] under Bethcar
<01033>_.

7:12

Then Samuel
<08050>

took
<03947> (8799)

a
<0259>

stone
<068>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

[it] between Mizpeh
<04709>

and Shen
<08129>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of it Ebenezer
<072>_,

saying
<0559> (8799)_,

Hitherto hath the LORD
<03068>

helped
<05826> (8804)

us. {Ebenezer: that is, The stone of help}

7:13

So the Philistines
<06430>

were subdued
<03665> (8735)_,

and they came
<0935> (8800)

no more
<03254> (8804)

into the coast
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was against the Philistines
<06430>

all the days
<03117>

of Samuel
<08050>_.

7:14

And the cities
<05892>

which the Philistines
<06430>

had taken
<03947> (8804)

from Israel
<03478>

were restored
<07725> (8799)

to Israel
<03478>_,

from Ekron
<06138>

even unto Gath
<01661>_;

and the coasts
<01366>

thereof did Israel
<03478>

deliver
<05337> (8689)

out of the hands
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_.

And there was peace
<07965>

between Israel
<03478>

and the Amorites
<0567>_.

7:15

And Samuel
<08050>

judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.

7:16

And he went
<01980> (8804)

from
<01767>

year
<08141>

to year
<08141>

in circuit
<05437> (8804)

to Bethel
<01008>_,

and Gilgal
<01537>_,

and Mizpeh
<04709>_,

and judged
<08199> (8804)

Israel
<03478>

in all those places
<04725>_.

{in circuit: Heb. and he circuited}

7:17

And his return
<08666>

[was] to Ramah
<07414>_;

for there [was] his house
<01004>_;

and there he judged
<08199> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_;

and there he built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

8:1

And it came to pass, when Samuel
<08050>

was old
<02204> (8804)_,

that he made
<07760> (8799)

his sons
<01121>

judges
<08199> (8802)

over Israel
<03478>_.

8:2

Now the name
<08034>

of his firstborn
<01121> <01060>

was Joel
<03100>_;

and the name
<08034>

of his second
<04932>_,

Abiah
<029>_:

[they were] judges
<08199> (8802)

in Beersheba
<0884>_.

8:3

And his sons
<01121>

walked
<01980> (8804)

not in his ways
<01870>_,

but turned aside
<05186> (8799)

after
<0310>

lucre
<01215>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

bribes
<07810>_,

and perverted
<05186> (8686)

judgment
<04941>_.

8:4

Then all the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>

gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>

unto Ramah
<07414>_,

8:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, thou art old
<02204> (8804)_,

and thy sons
<01121>

walk
<01980> (8804)

not in thy ways
<01870>_:

now make
<07760> (8798)

us a king
<04428>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

us like all the nations
<01471>_.

8:6

But the thing
<01697>

displeased
<03415> (8799) <05869>

Samuel
<08050>_,

when they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Give
<05414> (8798)

us a king
<04428>

to judge
<08199> (8800)

us. And Samuel
<08050>

prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}

8:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto the voice
<06963>

of the people
<05971>

in all that they say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee: for they have not rejected
<03988> (8804)

thee, but they have rejected
<03988> (8804)

me, that I should not reign
<04427> (8800)

over them.

8:8

According to all the works
<04639>

which they have done
<06213> (8804)

since the day
<03117>

that I brought them up
<05927> (8687)

out of Egypt
<04714>

even unto this day
<03117>_,

wherewith they have forsaken
<05800> (8799)

me, and served
<05647> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

so do
<06213> (8802)

they also unto thee.

8:9

Now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto their voice
<06963>_:

howbeit
<0389>

yet protest
<05749> (8686)

solemnly
<05749> (8687)

unto them, and shew
<05046> (8689)

them the manner
<04941>

of the king
<04428>

that shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over them. {hearken...: or, obey} {howbeit...: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt}

8:10

And Samuel
<08050>

told
<0559> (8799)

all the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

unto the people
<05971>

that asked
<07592> (8802)

of him a king
<04428>_.

8:11

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

This will be the manner
<04941>

of the king
<04428>

that shall reign
<04427> (8799)

over you: He will take
<03947> (8799)

your sons
<01121>_,

and appoint
<07760> (8804)

[them] for himself, for his chariots
<04818>_,

and [to be] his horsemen
<06571>_;

and [some] shall run
<07323> (8804)

before
<06440>

his chariots
<04818>_.

8:12

And he will appoint
<07760> (8800)

him captains
<08269>

over thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

over fifties
<02572>_;

and [will set them] to ear
<02790> (8800)

his ground
<02758>_,

and to reap
<07114> (8800)

his harvest
<07105>_,

and to make
<06213> (8800)

his instruments
<03627>

of war
<04421>_,

and instruments
<03627>

of his chariots
<07393>_.

8:13

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

[to be] confectionaries
<07548>_,

and [to be] cooks
<02879>_,

and [to be] bakers
<0644> (8802)_.

8:14

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your fields
<07704>_,

and your vineyards
<03754>_,

and your oliveyards
<02132>_,

[even] the best
<02896>

[of them], and give
<05414> (8804)

[them] to his servants
<05650>_.

8:15

And he will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)

of your seed
<02233>_,

and of your vineyards
<03754>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

to his officers
<05631>_,

and to his servants
<05650>_.

{officers: Heb. eunuchs}

8:16

And he will take
<03947> (8799)

your menservants
<05650>_,

and your maidservants
<08198>_,

and your goodliest
<02896>

young men
<0970>_,

and your asses
<02543>_,

and put
<06213> (8804)

[them] to his work
<04399>_.

8:17

He will take the tenth
<06237> (8799)

of your sheep
<06629>_:

and ye shall be his servants
<05650>_.

8:18

And ye shall cry out
<02199> (8804)

in that day
<03117>

because
<06440>

of your king
<04428>

which ye shall have chosen
<0977> (8804)

you; and the LORD
<03068>

will not hear
<06030> (8799)

you in that day
<03117>_.

8:19

Nevertheless the people
<05971>

refused
<03985> (8762)

to obey
<08085> (8800)

the voice
<06963>

of Samuel
<08050>_;

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but we will have a king
<04428>

over us;

8:20

That we also may be like all the nations
<01471>_;

and that our king
<04428>

may judge
<08199> (8804)

us, and go out
<03318> (8804)

before
<06440>

us, and fight
<03898> (8738)

our battles
<04421>_.

8:21

And Samuel
<08050>

heard
<08085> (8799)

all the words
<01697>

of the people
<05971>_,

and he rehearsed
<01696> (8762)

them in the ears
<0241>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

8:22

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto their voice
<06963>_,

and make
<04427> (8689)

them a king
<04428>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

ye every man
<0376>

unto his city
<05892>_.
