| Then Samuel talked to the people about how the kingship would work. 1 He wrote it all down on a scroll and set it before the Lord. Then Samuel sent all the people away to their homes. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 10:27 |
| But some wicked men 1 said, “How can this man save us?” They despised him and did not even bring him a gift. But Saul said nothing about it. 2 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 11:4 |
| When the messengers went to Gibeah (where Saul lived) 1 and informed the people of these matters, all the people wept loudly. 2 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 11:5 |
| Now Saul was walking behind the 1 oxen as he came from the field. Saul asked, “What has happened to the people? Why are they weeping?” So they told him about 2 the men of Jabesh. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 11:6 |
| The Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and he became very angry. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 11:10 |
| The men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you 1 and you can do with us whatever you wish.” 2 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 11:13 |
| But Saul said, “No one will be killed on this day. For today the Lord has given Israel a victory!” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 11:15 |
| So all the people went to Gilgal, where 1 they established Saul as king in the Lord’s presence. They offered up peace offerings there in the Lord’s presence. Saul and all the Israelites were very happy. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:1 |
| Samuel said to all Israel, “I have done 1 everything you requested. 2 I have given you a king. 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:7 |
| Now take your positions, so I may confront you 1 before the Lord regarding all the Lord’s just actions toward you and your ancestors. 2 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:10 |
| Then they cried out to the Lord and admitted, 1 ‘We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the images of Ashtoreth. 2 Now deliver us from the hand of our enemies so that we may serve you.’ 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:14 |
| If you fear the Lord, serving him and obeying him 1 and not rebelling against what he says, 2 and if both you and the king who rules over you follow the Lord your God, all will be well. 3 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:20 |
| Then Samuel said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. You have indeed sinned. 1 However, don’t turn aside from the Lord. Serve the Lord with all your heart. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:21 |
| You should not turn aside after empty things that can’t profit and can’t deliver, since they are empty. 1 |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 12:24 |
| However, fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. Just look at the great things he has done for you! |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 13:4 |
| All Israel heard this message, 1 “Saul has attacked the Philistine outpost, and now Israel is repulsive 2 to the Philistines!” So the people were summoned to join 3 Saul at Gilgal. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 13:19 |
| A blacksmith could not be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had said, “This will prevent the Hebrews from making swords and spears.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:6 |
| Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come on, let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the Lord will intervene 1 for us. Nothing can prevent the Lord from delivering, whether by many or by a few.” |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:24 |
| Now the men of Israel were hard pressed that day, for Saul had made the army agree to this oath: “Cursed be the man who eats food before evening! I will get my vengeance on my enemies!” So no one in the army ate anything. |
| (1.00) | 1Sa 14:30 |
| Certainly if the army had eaten some of the enemies’ provisions that they came across today, would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been even greater?” |
