1 Samuel

Chapter 10

1 THEN Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head and kissed him, and said to him, Behold, the LORD has anointed you to be a ruler over his inheritance.

2 When you depart from me today, behold, you will find two men at Rachel's sepulchre in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went to seek are found; and, lo, your father has ceased worrying about the asses, and is concerned about you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

3 Then when you shall go on from there and you shall come to the oak of Tabor, behold, you will find there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids and another carrying three loaves of bread and another carrying a skin of wine;

4 And they will salute you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands.

5 After that you shall come to the hill of God where there is a garrison of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass when you arrive there at the city, behold, you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with psalteries and tabrets and tambourines and timbrels before them; and they will be prophesying;

6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and you shall be changed into another man.

7 And it shall be when these signs are come to you, that you shall do whatever you wish, for the LORD is with you.

8 And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to make sacrifices of peace offerings; seven days you shall wait, till I come to you, and show you what you shall do.

9 And it came to pass when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

10 And when they came to Ramtha, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

11 And it came to pass when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

12 And a man of the same place answered and said, But who is his father? Therefore it became a byword, Is Saul also among the prophets?

13 And when he had finished prophesying, he left the high place, and came home.

14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did you go? And they said, To seek the asses; and when we found them nowhere, we went to Samuel.

15 And Saul's uncle said to him, Tell me what Samuel said to you.

16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him.

17 And Samuel called the people together before the LORD at Mizpeh;

18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt and later delivered you from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;

19 But you have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you from all your calamities and your tribulations; and you have said, Not so, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.

20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot.

21 Then when he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken by lot, and Saul the son of Kish was taken by lot. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

22 Therefore Samuel inquired further of the LORD, saying, Where is this man? And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.

23 And they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders higher than any of the people.

24 And Samuel said to all the people, Now have you seen him whom the LORD has chosen, because there is none like him among all the people? And the people shouted and said, Long live the king!

25 Then Samuel told the people the law governing the king, and wrote it in a book and laid it before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, and they went every man to his house.

26 And Saul also went to his house at Ramtha; and there went with him a band of men whose hearts God had touched.

27 But some of the wicked men said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

Chapter 10

1 Then Samuel8050 took3947 853 a vial6378 of oil,8081 and poured3332 it upon5921 his head,7218 and kissed5401 him, and said,559 Is it not3808 because3588 the LORD3068 hath anointed4886 thee to be captain5057 over5921 his inheritance?5159

2 When thou art departed1980 from4480 5973 me today,3117 then thou shalt find4672 two8147 men376 by5973 Rachel's7354 sepulcher6900 in the border1366 of Benjamin1144 at Zelzah;6766 and they will say559 unto413 thee, The asses860 which834 thou wentest1980 to seek1245 are found:4672 and, lo,2009 thy father1 hath left5203 853 the care1697 of the asses,860 and sorroweth1672 for you, saying,559 What4100 shall I do6213 for my son?1121

3 Then shalt thou go on2498 forward1973 from thence,4480 8033 and thou shalt come935 to5704 the plain436 of Tabor,8396 and there8033 shall meet4672 thee three7969 men376 going up5927 to413 God430 to Bethel,1008 one259 carrying5375 three7969 kids,1423 and another259 carrying5375 three7969 loaves3603 of bread,3899 and another259 carrying5375 a bottle5035 of wine: 3196

4 And they will salute7592 7965 thee, and give5414 thee two8147 loaves of bread;3899 which thou shalt receive3947 of their hands.4480 3027

5 After that310 3651 thou shalt come935 to the hill1389 of God,430 where834 8033 is the garrison5333 of the Philistines:6430 and it shall come to pass,1961 when thou art come935 thither8033 to the city,5892 that thou shalt meet6293 a company2256 of prophets5030 coming down3381 from the high place4480 1116 with a psaltery,5035 and a tabret,8596 and a pipe,2485 and a harp,3658 before6440 them; and they1992 shall prophesy: 5012

6 And the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 will come6743 upon5921 thee, and thou shalt prophesy5012 with them,5973 and shalt be turned2015 into another312 man.376

7 And let it be,1961 when3588 these428 signs226 are come935 unto thee, that thou do6213 as occasion serve834 4672 3027 thee; for3588 God430 is with5973 thee.

8 And thou shalt go down3381 before6440 me to Gilgal;1537 and, behold,2009 I595 will come down3381 unto413 thee, to offer5927 burnt offerings,5930 and to sacrifice2076 sacrifices2077 of peace offerings:8002 seven7651 days3117 shalt thou tarry,3176 till5704 I come935 to413 thee, and show3045 thee853 what834 thou shalt do.6213

9 And it was1961 so, that when he had turned6437 his back7926 to go1980 from4480 5973 Samuel,8050 God430 gave2015 him another312 heart:3820 and all3605 those428 signs226 came to pass935 that1931 day.3117

10 And when they came935 thither8033 to the hill,1389 behold,2009 a company2256 of prophets5030 met7125 him; and the Spirit7307 of God430 came6743 upon5921 him, and he prophesied5012 among8432 them.

11 And it came to pass,1961 when all3605 that knew3045 him formerly4480 865 8032 saw7200 that, behold,2009 he prophesied5012 among5973 the prophets,5030 then the people5971 said559 one376 to413 another,7453 What4100 is this2088 that is come1961 unto the son1121 of Kish?7027 Is Saul7586 also1571 among the prophets?5030

12 And one376 of the same place4480 8033 answered6030 and said,559 But who4310 is their father?1 Therefore5921 3651 it became1961 a proverb,4912 Is Saul7586 also1571 among the prophets?5030

13 And when he had made an end3615 of prophesying,4480 5012 he came935 to the high place.1116

14 And Saul's7586 uncle1730 said559 unto413 him and to413 his servant,5288 Whither575 went1980 ye? And he said,559 To seek1245 853 the asses:860 and when we saw7200 that3588 they were no where,369 we came935 to413 Samuel.8050

15 And Saul's7586 uncle1730 said,559 Tell5046 me, I pray thee,4994 what4100 Samuel8050 said559 unto you.

16 And Saul7586 said559 unto413 his uncle,1730 He told us plainly5046 5046 that3588 the asses860 were found.4672 But of the matter1697 of the kingdom,4410 whereof834 Samuel8050 spoke,559 he told5046 him not.3808

17 And Samuel8050 called the people together6817 853 5971 unto413 the LORD3068 to Mizpeh;4709

18 And said559 unto413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 I595 brought up5927 853 Israel3478 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and delivered5337 you out of the hand4480 3027 of the Egyptians,4714 and out of the hand4480 3027 of all3605 kingdoms,4467 and of them that oppressed3905 you:

19 And ye859 have this day3117 rejected3988 853 your God,430 who834 himself1931 saved3467 you out of all4480 3605 your adversities7451 and your tribulations;6869 and ye have said559 unto him, Nay, but3588 set7760 a king4428 over5921 us. Now6258 therefore present yourselves3320 before6440 the LORD3068 by your tribes,7626 and by your thousands.505

20 And when Samuel8050 had caused853 all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to come near,7126 the tribe7626 of Benjamin1144 was taken.3920

21 When he had caused853 the tribe7626 of Benjamin1144 to come near7126 by their families,4940 the family4940 of Matri4309 was taken,3920 and Saul7586 the son1121 of Kish7027 was taken:3920 and when they sought1245 him, he could not3808 be found.4672

22 Therefore they inquired7592 of the LORD3068 further,5750 if the man376 should yet5750 come935 thither.1988 And the LORD3068 answered,559 Behold,2009 he1931 hath hid himself2244 among413 the stuff.3627

23 And they ran7323 and fetched3947 him thence:4480 8033 and when he stood3320 among8432 the people,5971 he was higher1361 than any4480 3605 of the people5971 from his shoulders4480 7926 and upward.4605

24 And Samuel8050 said559 to413 all3605 the people,5971 See7200 ye him whom834 the LORD3068 hath chosen,977 that3588 there is none369 like him3644 among all3605 the people?5971 And all3605 the people5971 shouted,7321 and said,559 God save2421 the king.4428

25 Then Samuel8050 told1696 413 the people5971 853 the manner4941 of the kingdom,4410 and wrote3789 it in a book,5612 and laid it up5117 before6440 the LORD.3068 And Samuel8050 sent7971 853 all3605 the people5971 away, every man376 to his house.1004

26 And Saul7586 also1571 went1980 home1004 to Gibeah;1390 and there went1980 with5973 him a band of men,2428 whose834 hearts3820 God430 had touched.5060

27 But the children1121 of Belial1100 said,559 How4100 shall this2088 man save3467 us? And they despised959 him, and brought935 him no3808 presents.4503 But he held his peace.2790

Chapter 10

1 THEN Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head and kissed him, and said to him, Behold, the LORD has anointed you to be a ruler over his inheritance.

1 Then Samuel8050 took3947 853 a vial6378 of oil,8081 and poured3332 it upon5921 his head,7218 and kissed5401 him, and said,559 Is it not3808 because3588 the LORD3068 hath anointed4886 thee to be captain5057 over5921 his inheritance?5159

2 When you depart from me today, behold, you will find two men at Rachel's sepulchre in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went to seek are found; and, lo, your father has ceased worrying about the asses, and is concerned about you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

2 When thou art departed1980 from4480 5973 me today,3117 then thou shalt find4672 two8147 men376 by5973 Rachel's7354 sepulcher6900 in the border1366 of Benjamin1144 at Zelzah;6766 and they will say559 unto413 thee, The asses860 which834 thou wentest1980 to seek1245 are found:4672 and, lo,2009 thy father1 hath left5203 853 the care1697 of the asses,860 and sorroweth1672 for you, saying,559 What4100 shall I do6213 for my son?1121

3 Then when you shall go on from there and you shall come to the oak of Tabor, behold, you will find there three men going up to God to Beth-el, one carrying three kids and another carrying three loaves of bread and another carrying a skin of wine;

3 Then shalt thou go on2498 forward1973 from thence,4480 8033 and thou shalt come935 to5704 the plain436 of Tabor,8396 and there8033 shall meet4672 thee three7969 men376 going up5927 to413 God430 to Bethel,1008 one259 carrying5375 three7969 kids,1423 and another259 carrying5375 three7969 loaves3603 of bread,3899 and another259 carrying5375 a bottle5035 of wine: 3196

4 And they will salute you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands.

4 And they will salute7592 7965 thee, and give5414 thee two8147 loaves of bread;3899 which thou shalt receive3947 of their hands.4480 3027

5 After that you shall come to the hill of God where there is a garrison of the Philistines; and it shall come to pass when you arrive there at the city, behold, you will meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with psalteries and tabrets and tambourines and timbrels before them; and they will be prophesying;

5 After that310 3651 thou shalt come935 to the hill1389 of God,430 where834 8033 is the garrison5333 of the Philistines:6430 and it shall come to pass,1961 when thou art come935 thither8033 to the city,5892 that thou shalt meet6293 a company2256 of prophets5030 coming down3381 from the high place4480 1116 with a psaltery,5035 and a tabret,8596 and a pipe,2485 and a harp,3658 before6440 them; and they1992 shall prophesy: 5012

6 And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you shall prophesy with them, and you shall be changed into another man.

6 And the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 will come6743 upon5921 thee, and thou shalt prophesy5012 with them,5973 and shalt be turned2015 into another312 man.376

7 And it shall be when these signs are come to you, that you shall do whatever you wish, for the LORD is with you.

7 And let it be,1961 when3588 these428 signs226 are come935 unto thee, that thou do6213 as occasion serve834 4672 3027 thee; for3588 God430 is with5973 thee.

8 And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to make sacrifices of peace offerings; seven days you shall wait, till I come to you, and show you what you shall do.

8 And thou shalt go down3381 before6440 me to Gilgal;1537 and, behold,2009 I595 will come down3381 unto413 thee, to offer5927 burnt offerings,5930 and to sacrifice2076 sacrifices2077 of peace offerings:8002 seven7651 days3117 shalt thou tarry,3176 till5704 I come935 to413 thee, and show3045 thee853 what834 thou shalt do.6213

9 And it came to pass when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

9 And it was1961 so, that when he had turned6437 his back7926 to go1980 from4480 5973 Samuel,8050 God430 gave2015 him another312 heart:3820 and all3605 those428 signs226 came to pass935 that1931 day.3117

10 And when they came to Ramtha, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

10 And when they came935 thither8033 to the hill,1389 behold,2009 a company2256 of prophets5030 met7125 him; and the Spirit7307 of God430 came6743 upon5921 him, and he prophesied5012 among8432 them.

11 And it came to pass when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

11 And it came to pass,1961 when all3605 that knew3045 him formerly4480 865 8032 saw7200 that, behold,2009 he prophesied5012 among5973 the prophets,5030 then the people5971 said559 one376 to413 another,7453 What4100 is this2088 that is come1961 unto the son1121 of Kish?7027 Is Saul7586 also1571 among the prophets?5030

12 And a man of the same place answered and said, But who is his father? Therefore it became a byword, Is Saul also among the prophets?

12 And one376 of the same place4480 8033 answered6030 and said,559 But who4310 is their father?1 Therefore5921 3651 it became1961 a proverb,4912 Is Saul7586 also1571 among the prophets?5030

13 And when he had finished prophesying, he left the high place, and came home.

13 And when he had made an end3615 of prophesying,4480 5012 he came935 to the high place.1116

14 And Saul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where did you go? And they said, To seek the asses; and when we found them nowhere, we went to Samuel.

14 And Saul's7586 uncle1730 said559 unto413 him and to413 his servant,5288 Whither575 went1980 ye? And he said,559 To seek1245 853 the asses:860 and when we saw7200 that3588 they were no where,369 we came935 to413 Samuel.8050

15 And Saul's uncle said to him, Tell me what Samuel said to you.

15 And Saul's7586 uncle1730 said,559 Tell5046 me, I pray thee,4994 what4100 Samuel8050 said559 unto you.

16 And Saul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom of which Samuel had spoken, he did not tell him.

16 And Saul7586 said559 unto413 his uncle,1730 He told us plainly5046 5046 that3588 the asses860 were found.4672 But of the matter1697 of the kingdom,4410 whereof834 Samuel8050 spoke,559 he told5046 him not.3808

17 And Samuel called the people together before the LORD at Mizpeh;

17 And Samuel8050 called the people together6817 853 5971 unto413 the LORD3068 to Mizpeh;4709

18 And he said to the children of Israel, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt and later delivered you from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you;

18 And said559 unto413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 I595 brought up5927 853 Israel3478 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and delivered5337 you out of the hand4480 3027 of the Egyptians,4714 and out of the hand4480 3027 of all3605 kingdoms,4467 and of them that oppressed3905 you:

19 But you have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you from all your calamities and your tribulations; and you have said, Not so, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.

19 And ye859 have this day3117 rejected3988 853 your God,430 who834 himself1931 saved3467 you out of all4480 3605 your adversities7451 and your tribulations;6869 and ye have said559 unto him, Nay, but3588 set7760 a king4428 over5921 us. Now6258 therefore present yourselves3320 before6440 the LORD3068 by your tribes,7626 and by your thousands.505

20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot.

20 And when Samuel8050 had caused853 all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to come near,7126 the tribe7626 of Benjamin1144 was taken.3920

21 Then when he caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken by lot, and Saul the son of Kish was taken by lot. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

21 When he had caused853 the tribe7626 of Benjamin1144 to come near7126 by their families,4940 the family4940 of Matri4309 was taken,3920 and Saul7586 the son1121 of Kish7027 was taken:3920 and when they sought1245 him, he could not3808 be found.4672

22 Therefore Samuel inquired further of the LORD, saying, Where is this man? And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.

22 Therefore they inquired7592 of the LORD3068 further,5750 if the man376 should yet5750 come935 thither.1988 And the LORD3068 answered,559 Behold,2009 he1931 hath hid himself2244 among413 the stuff.3627

23 And they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders higher than any of the people.

23 And they ran7323 and fetched3947 him thence:4480 8033 and when he stood3320 among8432 the people,5971 he was higher1361 than any4480 3605 of the people5971 from his shoulders4480 7926 and upward.4605

24 And Samuel said to all the people, Now have you seen him whom the LORD has chosen, because there is none like him among all the people? And the people shouted and said, Long live the king!

24 And Samuel8050 said559 to413 all3605 the people,5971 See7200 ye him whom834 the LORD3068 hath chosen,977 that3588 there is none369 like him3644 among all3605 the people?5971 And all3605 the people5971 shouted,7321 and said,559 God save2421 the king.4428

25 Then Samuel told the people the law governing the king, and wrote it in a book and laid it before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, and they went every man to his house.

25 Then Samuel8050 told1696 413 the people5971 853 the manner4941 of the kingdom,4410 and wrote3789 it in a book,5612 and laid it up5117 before6440 the LORD.3068 And Samuel8050 sent7971 853 all3605 the people5971 away, every man376 to his house.1004

26 And Saul also went to his house at Ramtha; and there went with him a band of men whose hearts God had touched.

26 And Saul7586 also1571 went1980 home1004 to Gibeah;1390 and there went1980 with5973 him a band of men,2428 whose834 hearts3820 God430 had touched.5060

27 But some of the wicked men said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

27 But the children1121 of Belial1100 said,559 How4100 shall this2088 man save3467 us? And they despised959 him, and brought935 him no3808 presents.4503 But he held his peace.2790
