That day twenty-five thousand sword-wielding Benjaminites fell in battle, all of them capable warriors.

Then Boaz said, “When you acquire the field from Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the wife of our deceased relative, in order to preserve his family name by raising up a descendant who will inherit his property.”

This will be a confirming sign for you that will be fulfilled through your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas: in a single day they both will die!

On that day I will carry out against Eli everything that I spoke about his house – from start to finish!

On that day a Benjaminite ran from the battle lines and came to Shiloh. His clothes were torn and dirt was on his head.

As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed his inmost person. All these signs happened on that very day.

But Saul said, “No one will be killed on this day. For today the Lord has given Israel a victory!”

So Samuel called to the Lord, and the Lord made it thunder and rain that day. All the people were very afraid of both the Lord and Samuel.

So Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring near the ephod,” for he was at that time wearing the ephod.

So Saul asked God, “Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he did not answer him that day.

On the third day you should go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself the day this all started. Stay near the stone Ezel.

However, Saul said nothing about it that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to make him ceremonially unclean. Yes, he must be unclean.”

(One of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord. His name was Doeg the Edomite, who was in charge of Saul’s shepherds.)

So on that day David arose and fled from Saul. He went to King Achish of Gath.

So Achish gave him Ziklag on that day. (For that reason Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah until this very day.)

Now the battle was very severe that day; Abner and the men of Israel were overcome by David’s soldiers.

All the people and all Israel realized on that day that the killing of Abner son of Ner was not done at the king’s instigation.

So David said to Uriah, “Stay here another day. Tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem both that day and the following one.

The army of Israel was defeated there by David’s men. The slaughter there was great that day – 20,000 soldiers were killed.

The battle there was spread out over the whole area, and the forest consumed more soldiers than the sword devoured that day.
