1 Samuel 10:17-25

And Samuel
<08050>

called
<06817> (8686)

the people
<05971>

together unto the LORD
<03068>

to Mizpeh
<04709>_;

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)

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>_.

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)_.

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)_.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.
