1 Samuel 3:1--12:25

3:1
And the child
<05288>
Samuel
<08050>
ministered
<08334> (8764)
unto the LORD
<03068>
before
<06440>
Eli
<05941>_.
And the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
was precious
<03368>
in those days
<03117>_;
[there was] no open
<06555> (8737)
vision
<02377>_.
3:2
And it came to pass at that time
<03117>_,
when Eli
<05941>
[was] laid down
<07901> (8802)
in his place
<04725>_,
and his eyes
<05869>
began
<02490> (8689)
to wax dim
<03544>_,
[that] he could
<03201> (8799)
not see
<07200> (8800)_;
3:3
And ere the lamp
<05216>
of God
<0430>
went out
<03518> (8799)
in the temple
<01964>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
where the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
[was], and Samuel
<08050>
was laid down
<07901> (8802)
[to sleep];
3:4
That the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_:
and he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
3:5
And he ran
<07323> (8799)
unto Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I
<02009>_;
for thou calledst
<07121> (8804)
me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I called
<07121> (8804)
not; lie down
<07901> (8798)
again
<07725> (8798)_.
And he went
<03212> (8799)
and lay down
<07901> (8799)_.
3:6
And the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8800)
yet again
<03254> (8686)_,
Samuel
<08050>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I; for thou didst call
<07121> (8804)
me. And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I called
<07121> (8804)
not, my son
<01121>_;
lie down
<07901> (8798)
again
<07725> (8798)_.
3:7
Now Samuel
<08050>
did not yet
<02962>
know
<03045> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
neither was the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
yet revealed
<01540> (8735)
unto him. {Now...: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him}
3:8
And the LORD
<03068>
called
<07121> (8800)
Samuel
<08050>
again
<03254> (8686)
the third time
<07992>_.
And he arose
<06965> (8799)
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Eli
<05941>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I; for thou didst call
<07121> (8804)
me. And Eli
<05941>
perceived
<0995> (8799)
that the LORD
<03068>
had called
<07121> (8802)
the child
<05288>_.
3:9
Therefore Eli
<05941>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
lie down
<07901> (8798)_:
and it shall be, if he call
<07121> (8799)
thee, that thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
Speak
<01696> (8761)_,
LORD
<03068>_;
for thy servant
<05650>
heareth
<08085> (8802)_.
So Samuel
<08050>
went
<03212> (8799)
and lay down
<07901> (8799)
in his place
<04725>_.
3:10
And the LORD
<03068>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and stood
<03320> (8691)_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
as at other times
<06471>_,
Samuel
<08050>_,
Samuel
<08050>_.
Then Samuel
<08050>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Speak
<01696> (8761)_;
for thy servant
<05650>
heareth
<08085> (8802)_.
3:11
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Samuel
<08050>_,
Behold, I will do
<06213> (8802)
a thing
<01697>
in Israel
<03478>_,
at which both
<08147>
the ears
<0241>
of every one that heareth
<08085> (8802)
it shall tingle
<06750> (8799)_.
3:12
In that day
<03117>
I will perform
<06965> (8686)
against Eli
<05941>
all [things] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning
<0413>
his house
<01004>_:
when I begin
<02490> (8687)_,
I will also make an end
<03615> (8763)_.
{when...: Heb. beginning and ending}
3:13
For I have told
<05046> (8689)
him that I will judge
<08199> (8802)
his house
<01004>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>
for the iniquity
<05771>
which he knoweth
<03045> (8804)_;
because his sons
<01121>
made themselves vile
<07043> (8764)_,
and he restrained
<03543> (8765)
them not. {For I...: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained...: Heb. frowned not upon them}
3:14
And therefore I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
unto the house
<01004>
of Eli
<05941>_,
that the iniquity
<05771>
of Eli's
<05941>
house
<01004>
shall not be purged
<03722> (8691)
with sacrifice
<02077>
nor offering
<04503>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_.
3:15
And Samuel
<08050>
lay
<07901> (8799)
until the morning
<01242>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
feared
<03372> (8804)
to shew
<05046> (8687)
Eli
<05941>
the vision
<04759>_.
3:16
Then Eli
<05941>
called
<07121> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Samuel
<08050>_,
my son
<01121>_.
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
3:17
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] the thing
<01697>
that [the LORD] hath said
<01696> (8765)
unto thee? I pray thee hide
<03582> (8762)
[it] not from me: God
<0430>
do so
<06213> (8799)
to thee, and more also
<03254> (8686)_,
if thou hide
<03582> (8762)
[any] thing
<01697>
from me of all the things
<01697>
that he said
<01696> (8765)
unto thee. {more also: Heb. so add} {thing from: or, word from}
3:18
And Samuel
<08050>
told
<05046> (8686)
him every whit
<01697>_,
and hid
<03582> (8765)
nothing from him. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
It [is] the LORD
<03068>_:
let him do
<06213> (8799)
what seemeth
<05869>
him good
<02896>_.
{every...: Heb. all the things, or, words}
3:19
And Samuel
<08050>
grew
<01431> (8799)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
was with him, and did let none of his words
<01697>
fall
<05307> (8689)
to the ground
<0776>_.
3:20
And all Israel
<03478>
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>
knew
<03045> (8799)
that Samuel
<08050>
[was] established
<0539> (8737)
[to be] a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{established: or, faithful}
3:21
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8736)
again
<03254> (8686)
in Shiloh
<07887>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
revealed
<01540> (8738)
himself to Samuel
<08050>
in Shiloh
<07887>
by the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
4:1
And the word
<01697>
of Samuel
<08050>
came to all Israel
<03478>_.
Now Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
the Philistines
<06430>
to battle
<04421>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
beside Ebenezer
<072>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
pitched
<02583> (8804)
in Aphek
<0663>_.
{came: or, came to pass}
4:2
And the Philistines
<06430>
put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
Israel
<03478>_:
and when they joined
<05203> (8799)
battle
<04421>_,
Israel
<03478>
was smitten
<05062> (8735)
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_:
and they slew
<05221> (8686)
of the army
<04634>
in the field
<07704>
about four
<0702>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
{they joined...: Heb. the battle was spread} {army: Heb. array}
4:3
And when the people
<05971>
were come
<0935> (8799)
into the camp
<04264>_,
the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore hath the LORD
<03068>
smitten
<05062> (8804)
us to day
<03117>
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_?
Let us fetch
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
out of Shiloh
<07887>
unto us, that, when it cometh
<0935> (8799)
among
<07130>
us, it may save
<03467> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03709>
of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{fetch: Heb. take unto us}
4:4
So the people
<05971>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Shiloh
<07887>_,
that they might bring
<05375> (8799)
from thence the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
[between] the cherubims
<03742>_:
and the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
[were] there with the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>_.
4:5
And when the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<0935> (8800)
into the camp
<04264>_,
all Israel
<03478>
shouted
<07321> (8686)
with a great
<01419>
shout
<08643>_,
so that the earth
<0776>
rang again
<01949> (8735)_.
4:6
And when the Philistines
<06430>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the noise
<06963>
of the shout
<08643>_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meaneth] the noise
<06963>
of this great
<01419>
shout
<08643>
in the camp
<04264>
of the Hebrews
<05680>_?
And they understood
<03045> (8799)
that the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
was come
<0935> (8804)
into the camp
<04264>_.
4:7
And the Philistines
<06430>
were afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
God
<0430>
is come
<0935> (8804)
into the camp
<04264>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Woe
<0188>
unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore
<0865> <08032>_.
{heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day}
4:8
Woe
<0188>
unto us! who shall deliver
<05337> (8686)
us out of the hand
<03027>
of these mighty
<0117>
Gods
<0430>_?
these [are] the Gods
<0430>
that smote
<05221> (8688)
the Egyptians
<04714>
with all the plagues
<04347>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
4:9
Be strong
<02388> (8690)_,
and quit
<01961> (8798)
yourselves like men
<0582>_,
O ye Philistines
<06430>_,
that ye be not servants
<05647> (8799)
unto the Hebrews
<05680>_,
as they have been
<05647> (8804)
to you: quit
<01961> (8804)
yourselves like men
<0582>_,
and fight
<03898> (8738)_.
{quit...: Heb. be men}
4:10
And the Philistines
<06430>
fought
<03898> (8735)_,
and Israel
<03478>
was smitten
<05062> (8735)_,
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
every man
<0376>
into his tent
<0168>_:
and there was a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_;
for there fell
<05307> (8799)
of Israel
<03478>
thirty
<07970>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<07273>_.
4:11
And the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8738)_;
and the two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
of Eli
<05941>_,
Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
were slain
<04191> (8804)_.
{were slain: Heb. died}
4:12
And there ran
<07323> (8799)
a man
<0376>
of Benjamin
<01144>
out of the army
<04634>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Shiloh
<07887>
the same day
<03117>
with his clothes
<04055>
rent
<07167> (8803)_,
and with earth
<0127>
upon his head
<07218>_.
4:13
And when he came
<0935> (8799)_,
lo, Eli
<05941>
sat
<03427> (8802)
upon a seat
<03678>
by the wayside
<01870> <03027> (8675) <03197>
watching
<06822> (8764)_:
for his heart
<03820>
trembled
<02730>
for the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_.
And when the man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8802)
into the city
<05892>_,
and told
<05046> (8687)
[it], all the city
<05892>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_.
4:14
And when Eli
<05941>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the noise
<06963>
of the crying
<06818>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meaneth] the noise
<06963>
of this tumult
<01995>_?
And the man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8799)
in hastily
<04116> (8765)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
Eli
<05941>_.
4:15
Now Eli
<05941>
was ninety
<08673>
and eight
<08083>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_;
and his eyes
<05869>
were dim
<06965> (8804)_,
that he could
<03201> (8804)
not see
<07200> (8800)_.
{were dim: Heb. stood}
4:16
And the man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Eli
<05941>_,
I [am] he that came
<0935> (8802)
out of the army
<04634>_,
and I fled
<05127> (8804)
to day
<03117>
out of the army
<04634>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What is there done
<01697>_,
my son
<01121>_?
{is...: Heb. is the thing}
4:17
And the messenger
<01319> (8764)
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Israel
<03478>
is fled
<05127> (8804)
before
<06440>
the Philistines
<06430>_,
and there hath been also a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04046>
among the people
<05971>_,
and thy two
<08147>
sons
<01121>
also, Hophni
<02652>
and Phinehas
<06372>_,
are dead
<04191> (8804)_,
and the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
is taken
<03947> (8738)_.
4:18
And it came to pass, when he made mention
<02142> (8687)
of the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
that he fell
<05307> (8799)
from off the seat
<03678>
backward
<0322>
by
<01157>
the side
<03027>
of the gate
<08179>_,
and his neck
<04665>
brake
<07665> (8735)_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_:
for he was an old
<02204> (8804)
man
<0376>_,
and heavy
<03513> (8804)_.
And he had judged
<08199> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
4:19
And his daughter in law
<03618>_,
Phinehas
<06372>_'
wife
<0802>_,
was with child
<02030>_,
[near] to be delivered
<03205> (8800)_:
and when she heard
<08085> (8799)
the tidings
<08052>
that
<0413>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8736)_,
and that her father in law
<02524>
and her husband
<0376>
were dead
<04191> (8804)_,
she bowed
<03766> (8799)
herself and travailed
<03205> (8799)_;
for her pains
<06735>
came
<02015> (8738)
upon her. {be delivered: or, cry out} {came: Heb. were turned}
4:20
And about the time
<06256>
of her death
<04191> (8800)
the women that stood
<05324> (8737)
by her said
<01696> (8762)
unto her, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not; for thou hast born
<03205> (8804)
a son
<01121>_.
But she answered
<06030> (8804)
not, neither did she regard
<07896> (8804) <03820>
[it]. {neither...: Heb. set not her heart}
4:21
And she named
<07121> (8799)
the child
<05288>
Ichabod
<0350>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The glory
<03519>
is departed
<01540> (8804)
from Israel
<03478>_:
because
<0413>
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
was taken
<03947> (8736)_,
and because of her father in law
<02524>
and her husband
<0376>_.
{Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory}
4:22
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
The glory
<03519>
is departed
<01540> (8804)
from Israel
<03478>_:
for the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
is taken
<03947> (8738)_.
5:1
And the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it from Ebenezer
<072>
unto Ashdod
<0795>_.
5:2
When the Philistines
<06430>
took
<03947> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>_,
they brought
<0935> (8686)
it into the house
<01004>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<03322> (8686)
it by
<0681>
Dagon
<01712>_.
5:3
And when they of Ashdod
<0796>
arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the earth
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
Dagon
<01712>_,
and set
<07725> (0)
him in his place
<04725>
again
<07725> (8686)_.
5:4
And when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>
morning
<01242>_,
behold, Dagon
<01712>
[was] fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon his face
<06440>
to the ground
<0776>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the head
<07218>
of Dagon
<01712>
and both
<08147>
the palms
<03709>
of his hands
<03027>
[were] cut off
<03772> (8803)
upon the threshold
<04670>_;
only [the stump of] Dagon
<01712>
was left
<07604> (8738)
to him. {the stump...: or, the fishy part}
5:5
Therefore neither the priests
<03548>
of Dagon
<01712>_,
nor any that come
<0935> (8802)
into Dagon's
<01712>
house
<01004>_,
tread
<01869> (8799)
on the threshold
<04670>
of Dagon
<01712>
in Ashdod
<0795>
unto this day
<03117>_.
5:6
But the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was heavy
<03513> (8799)
upon them of Ashdod
<0796>_,
and he destroyed
<08074> (8686)
them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
[even] Ashdod
<0795>
and the coasts
<01366>
thereof.
5:7
And when the men
<0582>
of Ashdod
<0795>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that [it was] so, they said
<0559> (8804)_,
The ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
shall not abide
<03427> (8799)
with us: for his hand
<03027>
is sore
<07185> (8804)
upon us, and upon Dagon
<01712>
our god
<0430>_.
5:8
They sent
<07971> (8799)
therefore and gathered
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall we do
<06213> (8799)
with the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_?
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Let the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
be carried about
<05437> (8735)
unto Gath
<01661>_.
And they carried
<05437> (0)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
about
<05437> (8686)
[thither].
5:9
And it was [so], that, after
<0310>
they had carried it about
<05437> (8689)_,
the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was against the city
<05892>
with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
destruction
<04103>_:
and he smote
<05221> (8686)
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
both small
<06996>
and great
<01419>_,
and they had emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>
in their secret parts
<08368> (8735)_.
5:10
Therefore they sent
<07971> (8762)
the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
to Ekron
<06138>_.
And it came to pass, as the ark
<0727>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8800)
to Ekron
<06138>_,
that the Ekronites
<06139>
cried out
<02199> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
They have brought about
<05437> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
to us, to slay
<04191> (8687)
us and our people
<05971>_.
{us, to...: Heb. me to slay me and my}
5:11
So they sent
<07971> (8799)
and gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send away
<07971> (8761)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and let it go again
<07725> (8799)
to his own place
<04725>_,
that it slay
<04191> (8686)
us not, and our people
<05971>_:
for there was a deadly
<04194>
destruction
<04103>
throughout all the city
<05892>_;
the hand
<03027>
of God
<0430>
was very
<03966>
heavy
<03513> (8804)
there. {us not...: Heb. me not, and my}
5:12
And the men
<0582>
that died
<04191> (8804)
not were smitten
<05221> (8717)
with the emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_:
and the cry
<07775>
of the city
<05892>
went up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_.
6:1
And the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
was in the country
<07704>
of the Philistines
<06430>
seven
<07651>
months
<02320>_.
6:2
And the Philistines
<06430>
called
<07121> (8799)
for the priests
<03548>
and the diviners
<07080> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What shall we do
<06213> (8799)
to the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
tell
<03045> (8685)
us wherewith we shall send
<07971> (8762)
it to his place
<04725>_.
6:3
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
If ye send away
<07971> (8764)
the ark
<0727>
of the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
send
<07971> (8762)
it not empty
<07387>_;
but in any wise
<07725> (8687)
return
<07725> (8686)
him a trespass offering
<0817>_:
then ye shall be healed
<07495> (8735)_,
and it shall be known
<03045> (8738)
to you why his hand
<03027>
is not removed
<05493> (8799)
from you.
6:4
Then said
<0559> (8799)
they, What [shall be] the trespass offering
<0817>
which we shall return
<07725> (8686)
to him? They answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Five
<02568>
golden
<02091>
emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
and five
<02568>
golden
<02091>
mice
<05909>_,
[according to] the number
<04557>
of the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
for one
<0259>
plague
<04046>
[was] on you all, and on your lords
<05633>_.
{you: Heb. them}
6:5
Wherefore ye shall make
<06213> (8804)
images
<06754>
of your emerods
<02914> (8675) <06076>_,
and images
<06754>
of your mice
<05909>
that mar
<07843> (8688)
the land
<0776>_;
and ye shall give
<05414> (8804)
glory
<03519>
unto the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_:
peradventure he will lighten
<07043> (8686)
his hand
<03027>
from off you, and from off your gods
<0430>_,
and from off your land
<0776>_.
6:6
Wherefore then do ye harden
<03513> (8762)
your hearts
<03824>_,
as the Egyptians
<04714>
and Pharaoh
<06547>
hardened
<03513> (8765)
their hearts
<03820>_?
when he had wrought wonderfully
<05953> (8694)
among them, did they not let the people go
<07971> (8762)_,
and they departed
<03212> (8799)_?
{wonderfully: or, reproachfully} {the people: Heb. them}
6:7
Now therefore make
<06213> (8798)
a
<0259>
new
<02319>
cart
<05699>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
two
<08147>
milch
<05763> (8802)
kine
<06510>_,
on which there hath come
<05927> (8804)
no yoke
<05923>_,
and tie
<0631> (8804)
the kine
<06510>
to the cart
<05699>_,
and bring
<07725> (8689)
their calves
<01121>
home
<01004>
from them
<0310>_:
6:8
And take
<03947> (8804)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and lay
<05414> (8804)
it upon the cart
<05699>_;
and put
<07760> (8799)
the jewels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
which ye return
<07725> (8689)
him [for] a trespass offering
<0817>_,
in a coffer
<0712>
by the side
<06654>
thereof; and send it away
<07971> (8765)_,
that it may go
<01980> (8804)_.
6:9
And see
<07200> (8804)_,
if it goeth up
<05927> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
of his own coast
<01366>
to Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
[then] he hath done
<06213> (8804)
us this great
<01419>
evil
<07451>_:
but if not, then we shall know
<03045> (8804)
that [it is] not his hand
<03027>
[that] smote
<05060> (8804)
us: it [was] a chance
<04745>
[that] happened to us
<01961> (8804)_.
{he: or, it}
6:10
And the men
<0582>
did so
<06213> (8799)_;
and took
<03947> (8799)
two
<08147>
milch
<05763> (8802)
kine
<06510>_,
and tied
<0631> (8799)
them to the cart
<05699>_,
and shut up
<03607> (8804)
their calves
<01121>
at home
<01004>_:
6:11
And they laid
<07760> (8799)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
upon the cart
<05699>_,
and the coffer
<0712>
with the mice
<05909>
of gold
<02091>
and the images
<06754>
of their emerods
<02914>_.
6:12
And the kine
<06510>
took the straight
<03474> (8799)
way
<01870>
to the way
<01870>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
[and] went along
<01980> (8804)
the highway
<04546> <0259>_,
lowing
<01600> (8800)
as they went
<01980> (8800)_,
and turned not aside
<05493> (8804)
[to] the right hand
<03225>
or [to] the left
<08040>_;
and the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went
<01980> (8802)
after
<0310>
them unto the border
<01366>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_.
6:13
And [they of] Bethshemesh
<01053>
[were] reaping
<07114> (8802)
their wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>
in the valley
<06010>_:
and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the ark
<0727>_,
and rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
to see
<07200> (8800)
[it].
6:14
And the cart
<05699>
came
<0935> (8802)
into the field
<07704>
of Joshua
<03091>_,
a Bethshemite
<01030>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
there, where [there was] a great
<01419>
stone
<068>_:
and they clave
<01234> (8762)
the wood
<06086>
of the cart
<05699>_,
and offered
<05927> (8689)
the kine
<06510>
a burnt offering
<05930>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
6:15
And the Levites
<03881>
took down
<03381> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the coffer
<0712>
that [was] with it, wherein the jewels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>
[were], and put
<07760> (8799)
[them] on the great
<01419>
stone
<068>_:
and the men
<0582>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>
offered
<05927> (8689)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
sacrifices
<02077>
the same day
<03117>
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
6:16
And when the five
<02568>
lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
had seen
<07200> (8804)
[it], they returned
<07725> (8799)
to Ekron
<06138>
the same day
<03117>_.
6:17
And these [are] the golden
<02091>
emerods
<02914>
which the Philistines
<06430>
returned
<07725> (8689)
[for] a trespass offering
<0817>
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
for Ashdod
<0795>
one
<0259>_,
for Gaza
<05804>
one
<0259>_,
for Askelon
<0831>
one
<0259>_,
for Gath
<01661>
one
<0259>_,
for Ekron
<06138>
one
<0259>_;
6:18
And the golden
<02091>
mice
<05909>_,
[according to] the number
<04557>
of all the cities
<05892>
of the Philistines
<06430>
[belonging] to the five
<02568>
lords
<05633>_,
[both] of fenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>_,
and of country
<06521>
villages
<03724>_,
even unto the great
<01419>
[stone of] Abel
<059>_,
whereon they set down
<03240> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
[which stone remaineth] unto this day
<03117>
in the field
<07704>
of Joshua
<03091>_,
the Bethshemite
<01030>_.
{great...: or, great stone}
6:19
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
the men
<0376>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
because they had looked
<07200> (8804)
into the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
even he smote
<05221> (8686)
of the people
<05971>
fifty
<02572>
thousand
<0505>
and threescore and ten
<07657>
men
<0582>_:
and the people
<05971>
lamented
<056> (8691)_,
because the LORD
<03068>
had smitten
<05221> (8689)
[many] of the people
<05971>
with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_.
6:20
And the men
<0582>
of Bethshemesh
<01053>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who is able
<03201> (8799)
to stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
this holy
<06918>
LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>_?
and to whom shall he go up
<05927> (8799)
from us?
6:21
And they sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The Philistines
<06430>
have brought again
<07725> (8689)
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
come ye down
<03381> (8798)_,
[and] fetch it up
<05927> (8685)
to you.
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>_.
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>_.
12:1
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all Israel
<03478>_,
Behold, I have hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto your voice
<06963>
in all that ye said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, and have made
<04427> (8686)
a king
<04428>
over you.
12:2
And now, behold, the king
<04428>
walketh
<01980> (8693)
before
<06440>
you: and I am old
<02204> (8804)
and grayheaded
<07867> (8804)_;
and, behold, my sons
<01121>
[are] with you: and I have walked
<01980> (8694)
before
<06440>
you from my childhood
<05271>
unto this day
<03117>_.
12:3
Behold, here I [am]: witness
<06030> (8798)
against me before the LORD
<03068>_,
and before his anointed
<04899>_:
whose ox
<07794>
have I taken
<03947> (8804)_?
or whose ass
<02543>
have I taken
<03947> (8804)_?
or whom have I defrauded
<06231> (8804)_?
whom have I oppressed
<07533> (8804)_?
or of whose hand
<03027>
have I received [any] bribe
<03724>
to blind
<05956> (8686)
mine eyes
<05869>
therewith? and I will restore
<07725> (8686)
it you. {bribe: Heb. ransom} {to blind...: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him}
12:4
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast not defrauded
<06231> (8804)
us, nor oppressed
<07533> (8804)
us, neither hast thou taken
<03947> (8804)
ought
<03972>
of any man's
<0376>
hand
<03027>_.
12:5
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, The LORD
<03068>
[is] witness
<05707>
against you, and his anointed
<04899>
[is] witness
<05707>
this day
<03117>_,
that ye have not found
<04672> (8804)
ought
<03972>
in my hand
<03027>_.
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] witness
<05707>_.
12:6
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
[It is] the LORD
<03068>
that advanced
<06213> (8804)
Moses
<04872>
and Aaron
<0175>_,
and that brought
<05927> (0)
your fathers
<01>
up
<05927> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{advanced: or, made}
12:7
Now therefore stand still
<03320> (8690)_,
that I may reason
<08199> (8735)
with you before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
of all the righteous acts
<06666>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he did
<06213> (8804)
to you and to your fathers
<01>_.
{righteous...: Heb. righteousnesses, or, benefits} {to: Heb. with}
12:8
When Jacob
<03290>
was come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and your fathers
<01>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
then the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Moses
<04872>
and Aaron
<0175>_,
which brought forth
<03318> (8686)
your fathers
<01>
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and made them dwell
<03427> (8686)
in this place
<04725>_.
12:9
And when they forgat
<07911> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
he sold
<04376> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Sisera
<05516>_,
captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>
of Hazor
<02674>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and they fought
<03898> (8735)
against them.
12:10
And they cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
because we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and have served
<05647> (8799)
Baalim
<01168>
and Ashtaroth
<06252>_:
but now deliver
<05337> (8685)
us out of the hand
<03027>
of our enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and we will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee.
12:11
And the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
and Bedan
<0917>_,
and Jephthah
<03316>_,
and Samuel
<08050>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8686)
you out of the hand
<03027>
of your enemies
<0341> (8802)
on every side
<05439>_,
and ye dwelled
<03427> (8799)
safe
<0983>_.
12:12
And when ye saw
<07200> (8799)
that Nahash
<05176>
the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
came
<0935> (8804)
against you, ye said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Nay; but a king
<04428>
shall reign
<04427> (8799)
over us: when the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>
[was] your king
<04428>_.
12:13
Now therefore behold the king
<04428>
whom ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)_,
[and] whom ye have desired
<07592> (8804)_!
and, behold, the LORD
<03068>
hath set
<05414> (8804)
a king
<04428>
over you.
12:14
If ye will fear
<03372> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
him, and obey
<08085> (8804)
his voice
<06963>_,
and not rebel
<04784> (8686)
against the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
then shall both ye and also the king
<04428>
that reigneth
<04427> (8804)
over you continue following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_:
{commandment: Heb. mouth} {continue...: Heb. be after}
12:15
But if ye will not obey
<08085> (8799)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
but rebel
<04784> (8804)
against the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
then shall the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
be against you, as [it was] against your fathers
<01>_.
12:16
Now therefore
<01571>
stand
<03320> (8690)
and see
<07200> (8798)
this great
<01419>
thing
<01697>_,
which the LORD
<03068>
will do
<06213> (8802)
before your eyes
<05869>_.
12:17
[Is it] not wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>
to day
<03117>_?
I will call
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and he shall send
<05414> (8799)
thunder
<06963>
and rain
<04306>_;
that ye may perceive
<03045> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)
that your wickedness
<07451>
[is] great
<07227>_,
which ye have done
<06213> (8804)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
in asking
<07592> (8800)
you a king
<04428>_.
12:18
So Samuel
<08050>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
sent
<05414> (8799)
thunder
<06963>
and rain
<04306>
that day
<03117>_:
and all the people
<05971>
greatly
<03966>
feared
<03372> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
and Samuel
<08050>_.
12:19
And all the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Pray
<06419> (8690)
for thy servants
<05650>
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_,
that we die
<04191> (8799)
not: for we have added
<03254> (8804)
unto all our sins
<02403>
[this] evil
<07451>_,
to ask
<07592> (8800)
us a king
<04428>_.
12:20
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Fear
<03372> (8799)
not: ye have done
<06213> (8804)
all this wickedness
<07451>_:
yet turn not aside
<05493> (8799)
from following
<0310>
the LORD
<03068>_,
but serve
<05647> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
with all your heart
<03824>_;
12:21
And turn ye not aside
<05493> (8799)_:
for [then should ye go] after
<0310>
vain
<08414>
[things], which cannot profit
<03276> (8686)
nor deliver
<05337> (8686)_;
for they [are] vain
<08414>_.
12:22
For the LORD
<03068>
will not forsake
<05203> (8799)
his people
<05971>
for his great
<01419>
name's
<08034>
sake: because it hath pleased
<02974> (8689)
the LORD
<03068>
to make
<06213> (8800)
you his people
<05971>_.
12:23
Moreover as for me
<0595>_,
God forbid
<02486>
that I should sin
<02398> (8800)
against the LORD
<03068>
in ceasing
<02308> (8800)
to pray
<06419> (8692)
for you: but I will teach
<03384> (8689)
you the good
<02896>
and the right
<03477>
way
<01870>_:
{in: Heb. from}
12:24
Only fear
<03372> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
him in truth
<0571>
with all your heart
<03824>_:
for consider
<07200> (8798)
how great [things] he hath done
<01431> (8689)
for you. {how...: or, what a great thing}
12:25
But if ye shall still
<07489> (8687)
do wickedly
<07489> (8686)_,
ye shall be consumed
<05595> (8735)_,
both ye and your king
<04428>_.
