1 Samuel 9:1-7

9:1

Now there was a man
<0376>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Kish
<07027>_,

the son
<01121>

of Abiel
<022>_,

the son
<01121>

of Zeror
<06872>_,

the son
<01121>

of Bechorath
<01064>_,

the son
<01121>

of Aphiah
<0647>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>_,

a mighty
<01368>

man
<0376>

of power
<02428>_.

{a Benjamite: or, the son of a man of Jemini} {power: or, substance}

9:2

And he had a son
<01121>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Saul
<07586>_,

a choice young man
<0970>_,

and a goodly
<02896>_:

and [there was] not among the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

a goodlier
<02896>

person
<0376>

than he: from his shoulders
<07926>

and upward
<04605>

[he was] higher
<01364>

than any of the people
<05971>_.

9:3

And the asses
<0860>

of Kish
<07027>

Saul's
<07586>

father
<01>

were lost
<06> (8799)_.

And Kish
<07027>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>

his son
<01121>_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

now one
<0259>

of the servants
<05288>

with thee, and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go
<03212> (8798)

seek
<01245> (8761)

the asses
<0860>_.

9:4

And he passed through
<05674> (8799)

mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

and passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Shalisha
<08031>_,

but they found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not: then they passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Shalim
<08171>_,

and [there they were] not: and he passed through
<05674> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of the Benjamites
<01145>_,

but they found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not.

9:5

[And] when they were come
<0935> (8804)

to the land
<0776>

of Zuph
<06689>_,

Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8804)

to his servant
<05288>

that [was] with him, Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us return
<07725> (8799)_;

lest my father
<01>

leave
<02308> (8799)

[caring] for the asses
<0860>_,

and take thought
<01672> (8804)

for us.

9:6

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city
<05892>

a man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and [he is] an honourable
<03513> (8737)

man
<0376>_;

all that he saith
<01696> (8762)

cometh
<0935> (8799)

surely to pass
<0935> (8800)_:

now let us go
<03212> (8799)

thither; peradventure he can shew
<05046> (8686)

us our way
<01870>

that we should go
<01980> (8804)_.

9:7

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

to his servant
<05288>_,

But, behold, [if] we go
<03212> (8799)_,

what shall we bring
<0935> (8686)

the man
<0376>_?

for the bread
<03899>

is spent
<0235> (8804)

in our vessels
<03627>_,

and [there is] not a present
<08670>

to bring
<0935> (8687)

to the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_:

what have we? {is spent...: Heb. is gone out of, etc} {have we: Heb. is with us?}
