1 Samuel 9:1--11:15

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?}

9:8

And the servant
<05288>

answered
<06030> (8800)

Saul
<07586>

again
<03254> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I have
<04672> (8738)

here at hand
<03027>

the fourth part
<07253>

of a shekel
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_:

[that] will I give
<05414> (8804)

to the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

to tell
<05046> (8689)

us our way
<01870>_.

{I have...: Heb. there is found in my hand}

9:9

(Beforetime
<06440>

in Israel
<03478>_,

when a man
<0376>

went
<03212> (8800)

to enquire
<01875> (8800)

of God
<0430>_,

thus he spake
<0559> (8804)_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go
<03212> (8799)

to the seer
<07200> (8802)_:

for [he that is] now
<03117>

[called] a Prophet
<05030>

was beforetime
<06440>

called
<07121> (8735)

a Seer
<07200> (8802).)

9:10

Then said
<01697>

Saul
<07586>

to his servant
<05288>_,

Well
<02896>

said
<0559> (8799)_;

come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us go
<03212> (8799)_.

So they went
<03212> (8799)

unto the city
<05892>

where the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

[was]. {Well said: Heb. Thy word is good}

9:11

[And] as they went up
<05927> (8802)

the hill
<04608>

to the city
<05892>_,

they found
<04672> (8804)

young maidens
<05291>

going out
<03318> (8802)

to draw
<07579> (8800)

water
<04325>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Is
<03426>

the seer
<07200> (8802)

here? {the hill...: Heb. in the ascent of the city}

9:12

And they answered
<06030> (8799)

them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

He is
<03426>_;

behold, [he is] before
<06440>

you: make haste
<04116> (8761)

now, for he came
<0935> (8804)

to day
<03117>

to the city
<05892>_;

for [there is] a sacrifice
<02077>

of the people
<05971>

to day
<03117>

in the high place
<01116>_:

{sacrifice: or, feast}

9:13

As soon as ye be come
<0935> (8800)

into the city
<05892>_,

ye shall straightway
<03651>

find
<04672> (8799)

him, before he go up
<05927> (8799)

to the high place
<01116>

to eat
<0398> (8800)_:

for the people
<05971>

will not eat
<0398> (8799)

until he come
<0935> (8800)_,

because he doth bless
<01288> (8762)

the sacrifice
<02077>_;

[and] afterwards
<0310> <03651>

they eat
<0398> (8799)

that be bidden
<07121> (8803)_.

Now therefore get you up
<05927> (8798)_;

for about this time
<03117>

ye shall find
<04672> (8799)

him. {this time: Heb. to day}

9:14

And they went up
<05927> (8799)

into
<08432>

the city
<05892>_:

[and] when they were come
<0935> (8802)

into the city
<05892>_,

behold, Samuel
<08050>

came out
<03318> (8802)

against
<07125> (8800)

them, for to go up
<05927> (8800)

to the high place
<01116>_.

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}

10:1

Then Samuel
<08050>

took
<03947> (8799)

a vial
<06378>

of oil
<08081>_,

and poured
<03332> (8799)

[it] upon his head
<07218>_,

and kissed
<05401> (8799)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is it] not because the LORD
<03068>

hath anointed
<04886> (8804)

thee [to be] captain
<05057>

over his inheritance
<05159>_?

10:2

When thou art departed
<03212> (8800)

from me
<05978>

to day
<03117>_,

then thou shalt find
<04672> (8804)

two
<08147>

men
<0582>

by Rachel's
<07354>

sepulchre
<06900>

in the border
<01366>

of Benjamin
<01144>

at Zelzah
<06766>_;

and they will say
<0559> (8804)

unto thee, The asses
<0860>

which thou wentest
<01980> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

are found
<04672> (8738)_:

and, lo, thy father
<01>

hath left
<05203> (8804)

the care
<01697>

of the asses
<0860>_,

and sorroweth
<01672> (8804)

for you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What shall I do
<06213> (8799)

for my son
<01121>_?

{care: Heb. business}

10:3

Then shalt thou go on
<02498> (8804)

forward
<01973>

from thence, and thou shalt come
<0935> (8804)

to the plain
<0436>

of Tabor
<08396>_,

and there shall meet
<04672> (8804)

thee three
<07969>

men
<0582>

going up
<05927> (8802)

to God
<0430>

to Bethel
<01008>_,

one
<0259>

carrying
<05375> (8802)

three
<07969>

kids
<01423>_,

and another
<0259>

carrying
<05375> (8802)

three
<07969>

loaves
<03603>

of bread
<03899>_,

and another
<0259>

carrying
<05375> (8802)

a bottle
<05035>

of wine
<03196>_:

10:4

And they will
<07592> (8804)

salute
<07965>

thee, and give
<05414> (8804)

thee two
<08147>

[loaves] of bread
<03899>_;

which thou shalt receive
<03947> (8804)

of their hands
<03027>_.

{salute...: Heb. ask thee of peace}

10:5

After
<0310>

that thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)

to the hill
<01389>

of God
<0430>_,

where [is] the garrison
<05333>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither
<0935> (8800)

to the city
<05892>_,

that thou shalt meet
<06293> (8804)

a company
<02256>

of prophets
<05030>

coming down
<03381> (8802)

from the high place
<01116>

with a psaltery
<05035>_,

and a tabret
<08596>_,

and a pipe
<02485>_,

and a harp
<03658>_,

before
<06440>

them; and they shall prophesy
<05012> (8693)_:

10:6

And the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

will come
<06743> (8804)

upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy
<05012> (8694)

with them, and shalt be turned
<02015> (8738)

into another
<0312>

man
<0376>_.

10:7

And let it be, when these signs
<0226>

are come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee, [that] thou do
<06213> (8798)

as occasion
<04672> (8799)

serve
<03027>

thee; for God
<0430>

[is] with thee. {And...: Heb. And it shall come to pass, that when these signs, etc} {that...: Heb. do for thee as thine hand shall find}

10:8

And thou shalt go down
<03381> (8804)

before
<06440>

me to Gilgal
<01537>_;

and, behold, I will come down
<03381> (8802)

unto thee, to offer
<05927> (8687)

burnt offerings
<05930>_,

[and] to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)

sacrifices
<02077>

of peace offerings
<08002>_:

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

shalt thou tarry
<03176> (8686)_,

till I come
<0935> (8800)

to thee, and shew
<03045> (8689)

thee what thou shalt do
<06213> (8799)_.

10:9

And it was [so], that when he had turned
<06437> (8687)

his back
<07926>

to go
<03212> (8800)

from Samuel
<08050>_,

God
<0430>

gave
<02015> (8799)

him another
<0312>

heart
<03820>_:

and all those signs
<0226>

came
<0935> (8799)

to pass that day
<03117>_.

{back: Heb. shoulder} {gave: Heb. turned}

10:10

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

thither to the hill
<01389>_,

behold, a company
<02256>

of prophets
<05030>

met
<07125> (8800)

him; and the Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon him, and he prophesied
<05012> (8691)

among
<08432>

them.

10:11

And it came to pass, when all that knew
<03045> (8802)

him beforetime
<0865> <08032>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that, behold, he prophesied
<05012> (8738)

among the prophets
<05030>_,

then the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

What [is] this [that] is come unto the son
<01121>

of Kish
<07027>_?

[Is] Saul
<07586>

also among the prophets
<05030>_?

{one...: Heb. a man to his neighbour}

10:12

And one
<0376>

of the same place answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

But who [is] their father
<01>_?

Therefore it became a proverb
<04912>_,

[Is] Saul
<07586>

also among the prophets
<05030>_?

{of...: Heb. from thence}

10:13

And when he had made an end
<03615> (8762)

of prophesying
<05012> (8692)_,

he came
<0935> (8799)

to the high place
<01116>_.

10:14

And Saul's
<07586>

uncle
<01730>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him and to his servant
<05288>_,

Whither
<0575>

went
<01980> (8804)

ye? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

To seek
<01245> (8763)

the asses
<0860>_:

and when we saw
<07200> (8799)

that [they were] no where
<0369>_,

we came
<0935> (8799)

to Samuel
<08050>_.

10:15

And Saul's
<07586>

uncle
<01730>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tell
<05046> (8685)

me, I pray thee, what Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto you.

10:16

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his uncle
<01730>_,

He told
<05046> (8689)

us plainly
<05046> (8687)

that the asses
<0860>

were found
<04672> (8738)_.

But of the matter
<01697>

of the kingdom
<04410>_,

whereof Samuel
<08050>

spake
<0559> (8804)_,

he told
<05046> (8689)

him not.

10:17

And Samuel
<08050>

called
<06817> (8686)

the people
<05971>

together unto the LORD
<03068>

to Mizpeh
<04709>_;

10:18

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

I brought up
<05927> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and delivered
<05337> (8686)

you out of the hand
<03027>

of the Egyptians
<04714>_,

and out of the hand
<03027>

of all kingdoms
<04467>_,

[and] of them that oppressed
<03905> (8801)

you:

10:19

And ye have this day
<03117>

rejected
<03988> (8804)

your God
<0430>_,

who himself saved
<03467> (8688)

you out of all your adversities
<07451>

and your tribulations
<06869>_;

and ye have said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Nay], but set
<07760> (8799)

a king
<04428>

over us. Now therefore present
<03320> (8690)

yourselves before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

by your tribes
<07626>_,

and by your thousands
<0505>_.

10:20

And when Samuel
<08050>

had caused all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

to come near
<07126> (8686)_,

the tribe
<07626>

of Benjamin
<01144>

was taken
<03920> (8735)_.

10:21

When he had caused the tribe
<07626>

of Benjamin
<01144>

to come near
<07126> (8686)

by their families
<04940>_,

the family
<04940>

of Matri
<04309>

was taken
<03920> (8735)_,

and Saul
<07586>

the son
<01121>

of Kish
<07027>

was taken
<03920> (8735)_:

and when they sought
<01245> (8762)

him, he could not be found
<04672> (8738)_.

10:22

Therefore they enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

further, if the man
<0376>

should yet come
<0935> (8804)

thither
<01988>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, he hath hid
<02244> (8737)

himself among the stuff
<03627>_.

10:23

And they ran
<07323> (8799)

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

him thence: and when he stood
<03320> (8691)

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_,

he was higher
<01361> (8799)

than any of the people
<05971>

from his shoulders
<07926>

and upward
<04605>_.

10:24

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

to all the people
<05971>_,

See
<07200> (8804)

ye him whom the LORD
<03068>

hath chosen
<0977> (8804)_,

that [there is] none like him among all the people
<05971>_?

And all the people
<05971>

shouted
<07321> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

God save
<02421> (8799)

the king
<04428>_.

{God...: Heb. Let the king live}

10:25

Then Samuel
<08050>

told
<01696> (8762)

the people
<05971>

the manner
<04941>

of the kingdom
<04410>_,

and wrote
<03789> (8799)

[it] in a book
<05612>_,

and laid [it] up
<03240> (8686)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

And Samuel
<08050>

sent
<07971> (0)

all the people
<05971>

away
<07971> (8762)_,

every man
<0376>

to his house
<01004>_.

10:26

And Saul
<07586>

also went
<01980> (8804)

home
<01004>

to Gibeah
<01390>_;

and there went
<03212> (8799)

with him a band of men
<02428>_,

whose hearts
<03820>

God
<0430>

had touched
<05060> (8804)_.

10:27

But the children
<01121>

of Belial
<01100>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

How shall this man save
<03467> (8686)

us? And they despised
<0959> (8799)

him, and brought
<0935> (8689)

him no presents
<04503>_.

But he held his peace
<02790> (8688)_.

{held...: or, was as though he had been deaf}

11:1

Then Nahash
<05176>

the Ammonite
<05984>

came up
<05927> (8799)_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

against Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_:

and all the men
<0582>

of Jabesh
<03003>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Nahash
<05176>_,

Make
<03772> (8798)

a covenant
<01285>

with us, and we will serve
<05647> (8799)

thee.

11:2

And Nahash
<05176>

the Ammonite
<05984>

answered
<0559> (8799)

them, On this
<02063>

[condition] will I make
<03772> (8799)

[a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out
<05365> (8800)

all your right
<03225>

eyes
<05869>_,

and lay
<07760> (8804)

it [for] a reproach
<02781>

upon all Israel
<03478>_.

11:3

And the elders
<02205>

of Jabesh
<03003>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Give us seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_'

respite
<07503> (8685)_,

that we may send
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and then, if [there be] no man to save
<03467> (8688)

us, we will come out
<03318> (8804)

to thee. {Give...: Heb. Forbear us}

11:4

Then came
<0935> (8799)

the messengers
<04397>

to Gibeah
<01390>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and told
<01696> (8762)

the tidings
<01697>

in the ears
<0241>

of the people
<05971>_:

and all the people
<05971>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voices
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

11:5

And, behold, Saul
<07586>

came
<0935> (8804)

after
<0310>

the herd
<01241>

out of the field
<07704>_;

and Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [aileth] the people
<05971>

that they weep
<01058> (8799)_?

And they told
<05608> (8762)

him the tidings
<01697>

of the men
<0582>

of Jabesh
<03003>_.

11:6

And the Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0430>

came
<06743> (8799)

upon Saul
<07586>

when he heard
<08085> (8800)

those tidings
<01697>_,

and his anger
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

greatly
<03966>_.

11:7

And he took
<03947> (8799)

a yoke
<06776>

of oxen
<01241>_,

and hewed them in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

[them] throughout all the coasts
<01366>

of Israel
<03478>

by the hands
<03027>

of messengers
<04397>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whosoever cometh not forth
<03318> (8802)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>

and after
<0310>

Samuel
<08050>_,

so shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto his oxen
<01241>_.

And the fear
<06343>

of the LORD
<03068>

fell
<05307> (8799)

on the people
<05971>_,

and they came out
<03318> (8799)

with one
<0259>

consent
<0376>_.

{with...: Heb. as one man}

11:8

And when he numbered
<06485> (8799)

them in Bezek
<0966>_,

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

were three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>_,

and the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>_.

11:9

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto the messengers
<04397>

that came
<0935> (8802)_,

Thus shall ye say
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0376>

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_,

To morrow
<04279>_,

by [that time] the sun
<08121>

be hot
<02527>_,

ye shall have help
<08668>_.

And the messengers
<04397>

came
<0935> (8799)

and shewed
<05046> (8686)

[it] to the men
<0582>

of Jabesh
<03003>_;

and they were glad
<08055> (8799)_.

{help: or, deliverance}

11:10

Therefore the men
<0582>

of Jabesh
<03003>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

To morrow
<04279>

we will come out
<03318> (8799)

unto you, and ye shall do
<06213> (8804)

with us all that seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

unto you.

11:11

And it was [so] on the morrow
<04283>_,

that Saul
<07586>

put
<07760> (8799)

the people
<05971>

in three
<07969>

companies
<07218>_;

and they came
<0935> (8799)

into the midst
<08432>

of the host
<04264>

in the morning
<01242>

watch
<0821>_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

the Ammonites
<05983>

until the heat
<02527>

of the day
<03117>_:

and it came to pass, that they which remained
<07604> (8737)

were scattered
<06327> (8799)_,

so that two
<08147>

of them were not left
<07604> (8738)

together
<03162>_.

11:12

And the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Samuel
<08050>_,

Who [is] he that said
<0559> (8802)_,

Shall Saul
<07586>

reign
<04427> (8799)

over us? bring
<05414> (8798)

the men
<0582>_,

that we may put them to death
<04191> (8686)_.

11:13

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

There shall not a man
<0376>

be put to death
<04191> (8714)

this day
<03117>_:

for to day
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

hath wrought
<06213> (8804)

salvation
<08668>

in Israel
<03478>_.

11:14

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Samuel
<08050>

to the people
<05971>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go
<03212> (8799)

to Gilgal
<01537>_,

and renew
<02318> (8762)

the kingdom
<04410>

there.

11:15

And all the people
<05971>

went
<03212> (8799)

to Gilgal
<01537>_;

and there they made Saul
<07586>

king
<04427> (8686)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Gilgal
<01537>_;

and there they sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

sacrifices
<02077>

of peace offerings
<08002>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and there Saul
<07586>

and all the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

rejoiced
<08055> (8799)

greatly
<03966>_.
