H8050
And Samuel
H935
came
[H8799]
H7586
to Saul
H7586
: and Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H1288
unto him, Blessed
[H8803]
H3068
be thou of the LORD
H6965
: I have performed
[H8689]
H1697
the commandment
H3068
of the LORD.
14
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H6963
, What meaneth then this bleating
H6629
of the sheep
H241
in mine ears
H6963
, and the lowing
H1241
of the oxen
H8085
which I hear
[H8802]
?
15
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H935
, They have brought
[H8689]
H6003
them from the Amalekites
H5971
: for the people
H2550
spared
[H8804]
H4315
the best
H6629
of the sheep
H1241
and of the oxen
H2076
, to sacrifice
[H8800]
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
thy God
H3498
; and the rest
[H8802]
H2763
we have utterly destroyed
[H8689]
.
16
H8050
Then Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H7586
unto Saul
H7503
, Stay
[H8685]
H5046
, and I will tell
[H8686]
H3068
thee what the LORD
H1696
hath said
[H8765]
H3915
to me this night
H559
. And he said
[H8799]
H1696
unto him, Say on
[H8761]
.
17
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H6996
, When thou wast little
H5869
in thine own sight
H7218
, wast thou not made the head
H7626
of the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H3068
, and the LORD
H4886
anointed
[H8799]
H4428
thee king
H3478
over Israel?
18
H3068
And the LORD
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H1870
thee on a journey
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H3212
, Go
[H8798]
H2763
and utterly destroy
[H8689]
H2400
the sinners
H6002
the Amalekites
H3898
, and fight
[H8738]
H3615
against them until they be consumed
[H8763]
.
19
H8085
Wherefore then didst thou not obey
[H8804]
H6963
the voice
H3068
of the LORD
H5860
, but didst fly
[H8799]
H7998
upon the spoil
H6213
, and didst
[H8799]
H7451
evil
H5869
in the sight
H3068
of the LORD?
20
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H8050
unto Samuel
H8085
, Yea, I have obeyed
[H8804]
H6963
the voice
H3068
of the LORD
H3212
, and have gone
[H8799]
H1870
the way
H3068
which the LORD
H7971
sent
[H8804]
H935
me, and have brought
[H8686]
H90
Agag
H4428
the king
H6002
of Amalek
H2763
, and have utterly destroyed
[H8689]
H6002
the Amalekites.
21
H5971
But the people
H3947
took
[H8799]
H7998
of the spoil
H6629
, sheep
H1241
and oxen
H7225
, the chief
H2764
of the things which should have been utterly destroyed
H2076
, to sacrifice
[H8800]
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
thy God
H1537
in Gilgal.
22
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H3068
, Hath the LORD
H2656
as great delight
H5930
in burnt offerings
H2077
and sacrifices
H8085
, as in obeying
[H8800]
H6963
the voice
H3068
of the LORD
H8085
? Behold, to obey
[H8800]
H2896
is better
H2077
than sacrifice
H7181
, and to hearken
[H8687]
H2459
than the fat
H352
of rams.
23
H4805
For rebellion
H2403
is as the sin
H7081
of witchcraft
H6484
, and stubbornness
[H8687]
H205
is as iniquity
H8655
and idolatry
H3988
. Because thou hast rejected
[H8804]
H1697
the word
H3068
of the LORD
H3988
, he hath also rejected
[H8799]
H4428
thee from being king.
24
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H8050
unto Samuel
H2398
, I have sinned
[H8804]
H5674
: for I have transgressed
[H8804]
H6310
the commandment
H3068
of the LORD
H1697
, and thy words
H3372
: because I feared
[H8804]
H5971
the people
H8085
, and obeyed
[H8799]
H6963
their voice.
25
H5375
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
[H8798]
H2403
my sin
H7725
, and turn again
[H8798]
H7812
with me, that I may worship
[H8691]
H3068
the LORD.
26
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H7586
unto Saul
H7725
, I will not return
[H8799]
H3988
with thee: for thou hast rejected
[H8804]
H1697
the word
H3068
of the LORD
H3068
, and the LORD
H3988
hath rejected
[H8799]
H4428
thee from being king
H3478
over Israel.
27
H8050
And as Samuel
H5437
turned about
[H8735]
H3212
to go away
[H8800]
H2388
, he laid hold
[H8686]
H3671
upon the skirt
H4598
of his mantle
H7167
, and it rent
[H8735]
.
28
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H3068
unto him, The LORD
H7167
hath rent
[H8804]
H4468
the kingdom
H3478
of Israel
H3117
from thee this day
H5414
, and hath given
[H8804]
H7453
it to a neighbour
H2896
of thine, that is better than thou.
29
H5331
And also the Strength
H3478
of Israel
H8266
will not lie
[H8762]
H5162
nor repent
[H8735]
H120
: for he is not a man
H5162
, that he should repent
[H8736]
.
30
H559
Then he said
[H8799]
H2398
, I have sinned
[H8804]
H3513
: yet honour
[H8761]
H2205
me now, I pray thee, before the elders
H5971
of my people
H3478
, and before Israel
H7725
, and turn again
[H8798]
H7812
with me, that I may worship
[H8694]
H3068
the LORD
H430
thy God.
31
H8050
So Samuel
H7725
turned again
[H8799]
H310
after
H7586
Saul
H7586
; and Saul
H7812
worshipped
[H8691]
H3068
the LORD.
32
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H8050
Samuel
H5066
, Bring ye hither
[H8685]
H90
to me Agag
H4428
the king
H6002
of the Amalekites
H90
. And Agag
H3212
came
[H8799]
H4574
unto him delicately
H90
. And Agag
H559
said
[H8799]
H403
, Surely
H4751
the bitterness
H4194
of death
H5493
is past
[H8804]
.
33
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
[H8799]
H2719
, As thy sword
H802
hath made women
H7921
childless
[H8765]
H517
, so shall thy mother
H7921
be childless
[H8799]
H802
among women
H8050
. And Samuel
H8158
hewed
H90
Agag
H8158
in pieces
[H8762]
H6440
before
H3068
the LORD
H1537
in Gilgal.
