H8050
Then Samuel
H3947
took
H6378
the vial
H8081
of oil,
H3332
and poured
H7218
it on his head,
H5401
and kissed
H559
him, and said,
H3068
"Isn't it that Yahweh
H4886
has anointed
H5057
you to be prince
H5159
over his inheritance?
2
H3212
When you have departed
H5978
from me
H3117
today,
H4672
then you shall find
H8147
two
H582
men
H7354
by Rachel's
H6900
tomb,
H1366
in the border
H1144
of Benjamin
H6766
at Zelzah;
H559
and they will tell
H860
you, ‘The donkeys
H1980
which you went
H1245
to seek
H4672
have been found;
H1
and behold, your father
H5203
has stopped
H1697
caring
H860
about the donkeys,
H1672
and is anxious
H559
for you, saying,
H6213
"What shall I do
H1121
for my son?"'
3
H2498
"Then you shall go on
H1973
forward
H935
from there, and you shall come
H436
to the oak
H8396
of Tabor;
H7969
and three
H582
men
H4672
shall meet
H5927
you there going up
H430
to God
H1008
to Bethel,
H259
one
H5375
carrying
H7969
three
H1423
young goats,
H259
and another
H5375
carrying
H7969
three
H3603
loaves
H3899
of bread,
H259
and another
H5375
carrying
H5035
a bottle
H3196
of wine:
4
H7592
and they will
H7965
greet
H5414
you, and give
H8147
you two
H3899
loaves of bread,
H3947
which you shall receive
H3027
of their hand.
5
H310
"After
H935
that you shall come
H1389
to the hill
H430
of God,
H5333
where is the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines:
H935
and it shall happen, when you have come there
H5892
to the city,
H6293
that you shall meet
H2256
a band
H5030
of prophets
H3381
coming down
H1116
from the high place
H5035
with a psaltery,
H8596
and a tambourine,
H2485
and a pipe,
H3658
and a harp,
H6440
before
H5012
them; and they will be prophesying:
6
H7307
and the Spirit
H3068
of Yahweh
H6743
will come
H5012
mightily on you, and you shall prophesy
H2015
with them, and shall be turned
H312
into another
H376
man.
7
H226
Let it be, when these signs
H935
have come
H6213
to you, that you do
H4672
as occasion
H3027
shall serve
H430
you; for God is with you.
8
H3381
"You shall go down
H6440
before
H1537
me to Gilgal;
H3381
and behold, I will come down
H5927
to you, to offer
H5930
burnt offerings,
H5927
and to sacrifice
H2076
sacrifices
H5930
of peace offerings:
H3176
you shall wait
H7651
seven
H3117
days,
H935
until I come
H3045
to you, and show
H6213
you what you shall do."
9
H6437
It was so, that when he had turned
H7926
his back
H3212
to go
H8050
from Samuel,
H3212
God
H2015
gave
H312
him another
H3820
heart:
H226
and all those signs
H935
happened
H3117
that day.
10
H935
When they came
H1389
there to the hill,
H2256
behold, a band
H5030
of prophets
H7125
met
H7307
him; and the Spirit
H430
of God
H6743
came
H5012
mightily on him, and he prophesied
H8432
among them.
11
H3045
It happened, when all who knew
H865
him before
H7200
saw
H5012
that, behold, he prophesied
H5030
with the prophets,
H5971
then the people
H559
said
H376
one
H7453
to another,
H1121
"What is this that has come to the son
H7027
of Kish?
H7586
Is Saul
H5030
also among the prophets?"
12
H376
One
H6030
of the same place answered,
H1
"Who is their father?"
H4912
Therefore it became a proverb,
H7586
"Is Saul
H5030
also among the prophets?"
14
H7586
Saul's
H1730
uncle
H559
said
H5288
to him and to his servant,
H575
"Where
H1980
did you go?"
H559
He said,
H1245
"To seek
H860
the donkeys.
H7200
When we saw
H369
that they were not found,
H935
we came
H8050
to Samuel."
16
H7586
Saul
H559
said
H1730
to his uncle,
H559
"He told
H5046
us plainly
H860
that the donkeys
H4672
were found."
H1697
But concerning the matter
H4410
of the kingdom,
H8050
of which Samuel
H559
spoke,
H5046
he didn't tell him.
18
H559
and he said
H1121
to the children
H3478
of Israel,
H559
"Thus says
H3068
Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H5927
‘I brought up
H3478
Israel
H4714
out of Egypt,
H5337
and I delivered
H3027
you out of the hand
H4714
of the Egyptians,
H3027
and out of the hand
H4467
of all the kingdoms
H3905
that oppressed you:'
19
H3117
but you have this day
H3988
rejected
H430
your God,
H3467
who himself saves
H7451
you out of all your calamities
H6869
and your distresses;
H559
and you have said
H7760
to him, ‘No! Set
H4428
a king
H3320
over us.' Now therefore present
H6440
yourselves before
H3068
Yahweh
H7626
by your tribes,
H505
and by your thousands."
20
H8050
So Samuel
H7626
brought all the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H7126
near,
H7626
and the tribe
H1144
of Benjamin
H3920
was taken.
21
H7626
He brought the tribe
H1144
of Benjamin
H7126
near
H4940
by their families;
H4940
and the family
H4309
of the Matrites
H3920
was taken;
H7586
and Saul
H1121
the son
H7027
of Kish
H3920
was taken:
H1245
but when they sought
H4672
him, he could not be found.
22
H7592
Therefore they asked
H3068
of Yahweh
H376
further, "Is there yet a man
H935
to come
H1988
here?"
H3068
Yahweh
H559
answered,
H2244
"Behold, he has hidden
H3627
himself among the baggage."
23
H7323
They ran
H3947
and fetched
H3320
him there; and when he stood
H8432
among
H5971
the people,
H1361
he was higher
H5971
than any of the people
H7926
from his shoulders
H4605
and upward.
24
H8050
Samuel
H559
said
H5971
to all the people,
H7200
"You see
H3068
him whom Yahweh
H977
has chosen,
H5971
that there is none like him among all the people?"
H5971
All the people
H7321
shouted,
H559
and said,
H4428
"Let the king
H2421
live!"
25
H8050
Then Samuel
H1696
told
H5971
the people
H4941
the regulations
H4410
of the kingdom,
H3789
and wrote
H5612
it in a book,
H3240
and laid it up
H6440
before
H3068
Yahweh.
H8050
Samuel
H7971
sent
H5971
all the people
H7971
away,
H376
every man
H1004
to his house.
