1 Samuel 9:15-27

9:15

Now the LORD
<03068>

had told
<01540> (8804)

Samuel
<08050>

in his ear
<0241>

a
<0259>

day
<03117>

before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8800)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{told...: Heb. revealed the ear of Samuel}

9:16

To morrow
<04279>

about this time
<06256>

I will send
<07971> (8799)

thee a man
<0376>

out of the land
<0776>

of Benjamin
<01144>_,

and thou shalt anoint
<04886> (8804)

him [to be] captain
<05057>

over my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

that he may save
<03467> (8689)

my people
<05971>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

for I have looked
<07200> (8804)

upon my people
<05971>_,

because their cry
<06818>

is come
<0935> (8804)

unto me.

9:17

And when Samuel
<08050>

saw
<07200> (8804)

Saul
<07586>_,

the LORD
<03068>

said
<06030> (8804)

unto him, Behold the man
<0376>

whom I spake
<0559> (8804)

to thee of! this same shall reign
<06113> (8799)

over my people
<05971>_.

{reign over: Heb. restrain in}

9:18

Then Saul
<07586>

drew near
<05066> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>

in
<08432>

the gate
<08179>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tell
<05046> (8685)

me, I pray thee, where
<0335>

the seer's
<07200> (8802)

house
<01004>

[is].

9:19

And Samuel
<08050>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Saul
<07586>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] the seer
<07200> (8802)_:

go up
<05927> (8798)

before
<06440>

me unto the high place
<01116>_;

for ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)

with me to day
<03117>_,

and to morrow
<01242>

I will let thee go
<07971> (8765)_,

and will tell
<05046> (8686)

thee all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_.

9:20

And as for thine asses
<0860>

that were lost
<06> (8802)

three
<07969>

days
<03117>

ago
<03117>_,

set
<07760> (8799)

not thy mind
<03820>

on them; for they are found
<04672> (8738)_.

And on whom [is] all the desire
<02532>

of Israel
<03478>_?

[Is it] not on thee, and on all thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

{three...: Heb. to day three days}

9:21

And Saul
<07586>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Am] not I a Benjamite
<01145>_,

of the smallest
<06996>

of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_?

and my family
<04940>

the least
<06810>

of all the families
<04940>

of the tribe
<07626>

of Benjamin
<01144>_?

wherefore then speakest
<01696> (8765)

thou so
<01697>

to me? {so...: Heb. according to this word}

9:22

And Samuel
<08050>

took
<03947> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

and his servant
<05288>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them into the parlour
<03957>_,

and made them sit
<05414> (8799)

in the chiefest
<07218>

place
<04725>

among them that were bidden
<07121> (8803)_,

which [were] about thirty
<07970>

persons
<0376>_.

9:23

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the cook
<02876>_,

Bring
<05414> (8798)

the portion
<04490>

which I gave
<05414> (8804)

thee, of which I said
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, Set
<07760> (8798)

it by thee.

9:24

And the cook
<02876>

took up
<07311> (8686)

the shoulder
<07785>_,

and [that] which [was] upon it, and set
<07760> (8799)

[it] before
<06440>

Saul
<07586>_.

And [Samuel] said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold that which is left
<07604> (8737)_!

set
<07760> (8798)

[it] before
<06440>

thee, [and] eat
<0398> (8798)_:

for unto this time
<04150>

hath it been kept
<08104> (8803)

for thee since I said
<0559> (8800)_,

I have invited
<07121> (8804)

the people
<05971>_.

So Saul
<07586>

did eat
<0398> (8799)

with Samuel
<08050>

that day
<03117>_.

{left: or, reserved}

9:25

And when they were come down
<03381> (8799)

from the high place
<01116>

into the city
<05892>_,

[Samuel] communed
<01696> (8762)

with Saul
<07586>

upon the top of the house
<01406>_.

9:26

And they arose early
<07925> (8686)_:

and it came to pass about the spring
<05927> (8800)

of the day
<07837>_,

that Samuel
<08050>

called
<07121> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

to the top of the house
<01406>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

that I may send thee away
<07971> (8762)_.

And Saul
<07586>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and they went out
<03318> (8799)

both
<08147>

of them, he and Samuel
<08050>_,

abroad
<02351>_.

9:27

[And] as they were going down
<03381> (8802)

to the end
<07097>

of the city
<05892>_,

Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8804)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Bid
<0559> (8798)

the servant
<05288>

pass on
<05674> (8799)

before
<06440>

us, (and he passed on
<05674> (8798),)

but stand
<05975> (8798)

thou still a while
<03117>_,

that I may shew
<08085> (8686)

thee the word
<01697>

of God
<0430>_.

{a while: Heb. to day}
