1 Then|strong="H3947" Samuel|strong="H8050" took|strong="H3947" the|strong="H5921" vial|strong="H6378" of|strong="H3068" oil|strong="H8081", and|strong="H3068" poured|strong="H3332" it|strong="H5921" upon|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3068" head|strong="H7218", and|strong="H3068" kissed|strong="H5401" him|strong="H5921", and|strong="H3068" said, Is|strong="H3068" it|strong="H5921" not|strong="H3808" that|strong="H3588" Jehovah|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" anointed|strong="H4886" thee|strong="H4886" to|strong="H3068" be|strong="H3808" prince|strong="H5057" over|strong="H5921" his|strong="H3068" inheritance|strong="H5159"?

7 And|strong="H3027" let|strong="H1961" it|strong="H3588" be|strong="H1961", when|strong="H3588" these|strong="H6213" signs are|strong="H3027" come|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6213", that|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H6213" do|strong="H6213" as|strong="H1961" occasion|strong="H4672" shall|strong="H3027" serve|strong="H1961" thee|strong="H6213"; for|strong="H3588" God|strong="H3027" is|strong="H3027" with|strong="H5973" thee|strong="H6213".
8 And|strong="H3117" thou|strong="H3045" shalt go|strong="H5927" down|strong="H3381" before|strong="H6440" me|strong="H6440" to|strong="H5704" Gilgal|strong="H1537"; and|strong="H3117", behold|strong="H2009", I|strong="H3117" will|strong="H3117" come|strong="H5927" down|strong="H3381" unto|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6440", to|strong="H5704" offer|strong="H5927" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H8002", and|strong="H3117" to|strong="H5704" sacrifice|strong="H2077" sacrifices|strong="H2077" of|strong="H3117" peace|strong="H8002" offerings|strong="H8002": seven|strong="H7651" days|strong="H3117" shalt thou|strong="H3045" tarry|strong="H3176", till|strong="H5704" I|strong="H3117" come|strong="H5927" unto|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6440", and|strong="H3117" show|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H6440" what|strong="H3045" thou|strong="H3045" shalt do|strong="H6213".
9 And|strong="H3117" it|strong="H1931" was|strong="H1961" so|strong="H1961", that|strong="H3605", when|strong="H1961" he|strong="H1931" had|strong="H1961" turned|strong="H2015" his|strong="H3605" back|strong="H6437" to|strong="H3212" go|strong="H3212" from|strong="H3117" Samuel|strong="H8050", God gave|strong="H2015" him|strong="H5973" another heart|strong="H3820": and|strong="H3117" all|strong="H3605" those|strong="H3605" signs came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H3212" pass|strong="H1961" that|strong="H3605" day|strong="H3117".
10 And|strong="H8033" when|strong="H5921" they|strong="H8033" came|strong="H6743" thither|strong="H8033" to|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" hill|strong="H1389", behold|strong="H2009", a|strong="H3068" band of|strong="H7307" prophets|strong="H5030" met|strong="H7122" him|strong="H5921"; and|strong="H8033" the|strong="H5921" Spirit|strong="H7307" of|strong="H7307" God came|strong="H6743" mightily|strong="H6743" upon|strong="H5921" him|strong="H5921", and|strong="H8033" he|strong="H8033" prophesied|strong="H5012" among|strong="H8432" them|strong="H5921".
11 And|strong="H1121" it|strong="H7200" came|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" pass|strong="H1961", when|strong="H1961" all|strong="H3605" that|strong="H3045" knew|strong="H3045" him|strong="H7200" beforetime|strong="H8032" saw|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3045", behold|strong="H2009", he|strong="H3605" prophesied|strong="H5012" with|strong="H5973" the|strong="H3605" prophets|strong="H5030", then|strong="H1961" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" said one|strong="H2088" to|strong="H1961" another|strong="H7453", What|strong="H4100" is|strong="H2088" this|strong="H2088" that|strong="H3045" is|strong="H2088" come|strong="H1961" unto|strong="H7200" the|strong="H3605" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Kish|strong="H7027"? Is|strong="H2088" Saul|strong="H7586" also|strong="H1571" among|strong="H5973" the|strong="H3605" prophets|strong="H5030"?
12 And|strong="H6030" one|strong="H1961" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" same|strong="H3651" place|strong="H1961" answered|strong="H6030" and|strong="H6030" said|strong="H6030", And|strong="H6030" who|strong="H4310" is|strong="H4310" their|strong="H5921" father? Therefore|strong="H3651" it|strong="H5921" became|strong="H1961" a|strong="H3068" proverb|strong="H4912", Is|strong="H4310" Saul|strong="H7586" also|strong="H1571" among|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" prophets|strong="H5030"?
13 And|strong="H5012" when|strong="H3615" he|strong="H1116" had made|strong="H3615" an|strong="H3615" end|strong="H3615" of|strong="H3615" prophesying|strong="H5012", he|strong="H1116" came|strong="H3615" to|strong="H1116" the|strong="H3615" high|strong="H1116" place|strong="H1116".
14 And|strong="H1980" Saul|strong="H7586"’s uncle|strong="H1730" said unto|strong="H7200" him|strong="H7200" and|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" his|strong="H7200" servant|strong="H5288", Whither went|strong="H1980" ye|strong="H7200"? And|strong="H1980" he|strong="H3588" said, To|strong="H1980" seek|strong="H1245" the|strong="H7200" asses; and|strong="H1980" when|strong="H3588" we|strong="H3068" saw|strong="H7200" that|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" were|strong="H7586" not|strong="H3588" found, we|strong="H3068" came|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" Samuel|strong="H8050".
15 And|strong="H7586" Saul|strong="H7586"’s uncle|strong="H1730" said, Tell|strong="H5046" me|strong="H4994", I|strong="H4100" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H4994", what|strong="H4100" Samuel|strong="H8050" said unto|strong="H5046" you|strong="H5046".
16 And|strong="H7586" Saul|strong="H7586" said|strong="H1697" unto|strong="H1697" his|strong="H5046" uncle|strong="H1730", He|strong="H3588" told|strong="H5046" us|strong="H5046" plainly|strong="H5046" that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" asses were|strong="H1697" found|strong="H4672". But|strong="H3588" concerning|strong="H1697" the|strong="H3588" matter|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1697" the|strong="H3588" kingdom|strong="H4410", whereof Samuel|strong="H8050" spake, he|strong="H3588" told|strong="H5046" him|strong="H5046" not|strong="H3808".
17 And|strong="H3068" Samuel|strong="H8050" called|strong="H6817" the|strong="H3068" people|strong="H5971" together|strong="H6817" unto|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3068" Mizpah|strong="H4709";
18 and|strong="H1121" he|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" children|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", Thus|strong="H3541" saith Jehovah|strong="H3068", the|strong="H3605" God|strong="H3068" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478", I|strong="H3541" brought|strong="H5927" up|strong="H5927" Israel|strong="H3478" out|strong="H5337" of|strong="H1121" Egypt|strong="H4714", and|strong="H1121" I|strong="H3541" delivered|strong="H5337" you|strong="H3605" out|strong="H5337" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" Egyptians|strong="H4714", and|strong="H1121" out|strong="H5337" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H1121" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" kingdoms|strong="H4467" that|strong="H3605" oppressed|strong="H3905" you|strong="H3605":
19 but|strong="H3588" ye|strong="H3117" have|strong="H3068" this|strong="H1931" day|strong="H3117" rejected|strong="H3988" your|strong="H3068" God|strong="H3068", who|strong="H3605" himself|strong="H1931" saveth|strong="H3467" you|strong="H3588" out|strong="H5921" of|strong="H4428" all|strong="H3605" your|strong="H3068" calamities|strong="H6869" and|strong="H3068" your|strong="H3068" distresses|strong="H6869"; and|strong="H3068" ye|strong="H3117" have|strong="H3068" said unto|strong="H3068" him|strong="H6440", Nay, but|strong="H3588" set|strong="H7760" a|strong="H3068" king|strong="H4428" over|strong="H5921" us|strong="H5921". Now|strong="H6258" therefore|strong="H5921" present|strong="H3320" yourselves|strong="H3320" before|strong="H6440" Jehovah|strong="H3068" by|strong="H5921" your|strong="H3068" tribes|strong="H7626", and|strong="H3068" by|strong="H5921" your|strong="H3068" thousands.
20 So|strong="H7126" Samuel|strong="H8050" brought|strong="H7126" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" tribes|strong="H7626" of|strong="H7626" Israel|strong="H3478" near|strong="H7126", and|strong="H3478" the|strong="H3605" tribe|strong="H7626" of|strong="H7626" Benjamin|strong="H1144" was|strong="H3478" taken|strong="H3920".
21 And|strong="H1121" he|strong="H3808" brought|strong="H7126" the|strong="H7126" tribe|strong="H7626" of|strong="H1121" Benjamin|strong="H1144" near|strong="H7126" by|strong="H3808" their|strong="H1245" families|strong="H4940"; and|strong="H1121" the|strong="H7126" family|strong="H4940" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H7126" Matrites was|strong="H7586" taken|strong="H3920"; and|strong="H1121" Saul|strong="H7586" the|strong="H7126" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Kish|strong="H7027" was|strong="H7586" taken|strong="H3920": but|strong="H3808" when|strong="H1121" they|strong="H3808" sought|strong="H1245" him|strong="H4672", he|strong="H3808" could not|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" found|strong="H4672".
22 Therefore|strong="H3068" they|strong="H3068" asked|strong="H7592" of|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" further|strong="H5750", Is|strong="H3068" there|strong="H2009" yet|strong="H5750" a|strong="H3068" man to|strong="H3068" come|strong="H5750" hither|strong="H1988"? And|strong="H3068" Jehovah|strong="H3068" answered, Behold|strong="H2009", he|strong="H1931" hath|strong="H3068" hidden|strong="H2244" himself|strong="H1931" among the|strong="H3068" baggage|strong="H3627".
23 And|strong="H5971" they|strong="H8033" ran|strong="H7323" and|strong="H5971" fetched|strong="H3947" him|strong="H3947" thence|strong="H3947"; and|strong="H5971" when|strong="H1361" he|strong="H8033" stood|strong="H3320" among|strong="H8432" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971", he|strong="H8033" was|strong="H3605" higher|strong="H4605" than|strong="H3605" any|strong="H3605" of|strong="H8432" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" from|strong="H3947" his|strong="H3605" shoulders|strong="H7926" and|strong="H5971" upward|strong="H4605".
24 And|strong="H3068" Samuel|strong="H8050" said to|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971", See|strong="H7200" ye|strong="H7200" him|strong="H7200" whom|strong="H5971" Jehovah|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" chosen, that|strong="H3588" there|strong="H3605" is|strong="H3068" none|strong="H3605" like|strong="H3644" him|strong="H7200" among|strong="H5971" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971"? And|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" shouted|strong="H7321", and|strong="H3068" said, Long live|strong="H2421" the|strong="H3605" king|strong="H4428".
25 Then|strong="H1696" Samuel|strong="H8050" told|strong="H1696" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" the|strong="H3605" manner|strong="H4941" of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" kingdom|strong="H4410", and|strong="H3068" wrote|strong="H3789" it|strong="H6440" in|strong="H3068" a|strong="H3068" book|strong="H5612", and|strong="H3068" laid|strong="H7971" it|strong="H6440" up|strong="H3240" before|strong="H6440" Jehovah|strong="H3068". And|strong="H3068" Samuel|strong="H8050" sent|strong="H7971" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" away|strong="H7971", every|strong="H3605" man|strong="H3605" to|strong="H1696" his|strong="H3605" house|strong="H1004".
26 And|strong="H1980" Saul|strong="H7586" also|strong="H1571" went|strong="H1980" to|strong="H1980" his|strong="H7586" house|strong="H1004" to|strong="H1980" Gibeah|strong="H1390"; and|strong="H1980" there went|strong="H1980" with|strong="H5973" him|strong="H5973" the|strong="H5060" host|strong="H2428", whose|strong="H7586" hearts|strong="H3820" God had|strong="H7586" touched|strong="H5060".
27 But|strong="H3808" certain worthless|strong="H1100" fellows|strong="H1121" said|strong="H2790", How|strong="H4100" shall|strong="H1121" this|strong="H2088" man|strong="H1121" save|strong="H3467" us|strong="H1961"? And|strong="H1121" they|strong="H3808" despised him|strong="H2088", and|strong="H1121" brought|strong="H3467" him|strong="H2088" no|strong="H3808" present|strong="H4503". But|strong="H3808" he|strong="H3808" held|strong="H1961" his|strong="H1961" peace|strong="H2790".
