NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. {substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
ForG1063 byG1722 itG5026 the eldersG4245 obtained a good reportG3140.
Through faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the worldsG165 were framedG2675 by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that things whichG3588 are seenG991 wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096 ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.
By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1511 righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980. {yet…: or, is yet spoken of}
By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346 that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1360 GodG2316 had translatedG3346 himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3331 he had this testimonyG3140, that he pleasedG2100 GodG2316.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG2076, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567 himG846.
By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991 as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102. {moved…: or, being wary}
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2540+G2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they mightG302 have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that isG5123, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870+G846 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564: {of: or, to}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053, made mentionG3421 ofG4012 the departingG1841 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781 concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747. {made…: or, remembered}
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG1492 he was a properG791 childG3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399 of the king'sG935 commandmentG1297.
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096 to yearsG3173, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364;
ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192+G619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3187 richesG4149 thanG2233 the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578 untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3405. {of Christ: or, for Christ}
By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.
Through faithG4102 he keptG4160 the passoverG3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG4378 of bloodG129, lestG3363 he that destroyedG3645 the firstbornG4416 should touchG2345 themG846.
By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224 the RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983 were drownedG2666.
By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
By faithG4102 the harlotG4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881 notG3756 with them that believed notG544, when she had receivedG1209 the spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515. {that…: or, that were disobedient}
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610 kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038 righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,
QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG1537+G386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 deliveranceG629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386:
AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983 trialG3984 of cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG1161, moreoverG2089 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:
They were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunderG4249, were temptedG3985, were slainG599 withG1722 the swordG5408+G3162: they wandered aboutG4022 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122+G1192; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, tormentedG2558;
(Of whomG3739 the worldG2889 wasG2258 notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105 inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3692 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}

ButG1161 ifG1487 ourG2257 unrighteousnessG93 commendG4921 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316, whatG5101 shall we sayG2046+G3361? Is GodG2316 unrighteousG94 who takethG2018 vengeanceG3709? (I speakG3004 asG2596 a manG444)
AndG1161 there areG2076 alsoG2532 manyG4183 other thingsG243 whichG3745 JesusG2424 didG4160, the whichG3748, ifG1437 they should be writtenG1125 everyG2596 oneG1520, I supposeG3633 that evenG3761 the worldG2889 itselfG846 could notG3761 containG5562 the booksG975 that should be writtenG1125. AmenG281.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And the handH3027 of MidianH4080 prevailedH5810 against IsraelH3478: and becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 madeH6213 them the densH4492 which are in the mountainsH2022, and cavesH4631, and strong holdsH4679. {prevailed: Heb. was strong}
And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against them;
And they encampedH2583 against them, and destroyedH7843 the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, till thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 no sustenanceH4241 for IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor assH2543. {sheep: or goat}
For they came upH5927 with their cattleH4735 and their tentsH168, and they cameH935+H935 asH1767 grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; for both they and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557: and they enteredH935 into the landH776 to destroyH7843 it.
And IsraelH3478 was greatlyH3966 impoverishedH1809 becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH182 of the MidianitesH4080,
That the LORDH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH376+H5030 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought you upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and brought you forthH3318 out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; {a prophet: Heb. a man a prophet}
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 JerubbaalH3378, and BedanH917, and JephthahH3316, and SamuelH8050, and deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of your enemiesH341 on every sideH5439, and ye dwelledH3427 safeH983.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 againH3254 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, when EhudH164 was deadH4191.
And the LORDH3068 soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667, that reignedH4427 in HazorH2674; the captainH8269 of whose hostH6635 was SiseraH5516, which dweltH3427 in HaroshethH2800 of the GentilesH1471.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068: for he had nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270; and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 he mightilyH2394 oppressedH3905 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And DeborahH1683, a prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of LapidothH3941, she judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 at that timeH6256.
And she dweltH3427 under the palm treeH8560 of DeborahH1683 between RamahH7414 and BethelH1008 in mountH2022 EphraimH669: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 to her for judgmentH4941.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 againH3254 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 fortyH705 yearsH8141. {did evil…: Heb. added to commit, etc}
And there was a certainH259 manH376 of ZorahH6881, of the familyH4940 of the DanitesH1839, whose nameH8034 was ManoahH4495; and his wifeH802 was barrenH6135, and bareH3205 not.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto the womanH802, and saidH559 unto her, Behold now, thou art barrenH6135, and bearestH3205 not: but thou shalt conceiveH2029, and bearH3205 a sonH1121.
Now therefore bewareH8104, I pray thee, and drinkH8354 not wineH3196 nor strong drinkH7941, and eatH398 not any uncleanH2931 thing:
For, lo, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and no razorH4177 shall comeH5927 on his headH7218: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from the wombH990: and he shall beginH2490 to deliverH3467 IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then the womanH802 cameH935 and toldH559 her husbandH376, sayingH559, A manH376 of GodH430 cameH935 unto me, and his countenanceH4758 was like the countenanceH4758 of an angelH4397 of GodH430, veryH3966 terribleH3372: but I askedH7592 him not whence he was, neither toldH5046 he me his nameH8034:
But he saidH559 unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceiveH2030, and bearH3205 a sonH1121; and now drinkH7941 no wineH3196 nor strong drinkH8354, neither eatH398 any uncleanH2932 thing: for the childH5288 shall be a NazariteH5139 to GodH430 from the wombH990 to the dayH3117 of his deathH4194.
Then ManoahH4495 intreatedH6279 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, OH994 my LordH136, letH4994 the manH376 of GodH430 which thou didst sendH7971 come againH935 unto us, and teachH3384 us what we shall doH6213 unto the childH5288 that shall be bornH3205.
And GodH430 hearkenedH8085 to the voiceH6963 of ManoahH4495; and the angelH4397 of GodH430 came againH935 unto the womanH802 as she satH3427 in the fieldH7704: but ManoahH4495 her husbandH376 was not with her.
And the womanH802 made hasteH4116, and ranH7323, and shewedH5046 her husbandH376, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, the manH376 hath appearedH7200 unto me, that cameH935 unto me the other dayH3117.
And ManoahH4495 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 his wifeH802, and cameH935 to the manH376, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou the manH376 that spakestH1696 unto the womanH802? And he saidH559, I am.
And ManoahH4495 saidH559, Now let thy wordsH1697 come to passH935. How shall we orderH4941 the childH5288, and how shall we doH4639 unto him? {How shall we order…: Heb. What shall be the manner of the, etc} {how shall we do…: or, what shall he do?: Heb. what shall be his work?}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto ManoahH4495, Of all that I saidH559 unto the womanH802 let her bewareH8104.
She may not eatH398 of any thing that comethH3318 of the vineH1612, neither let her drinkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941, nor eatH398 any uncleanH2932 thing: all that I commandedH6680 her let her observeH8104.
And ManoahH4495 saidH559 unto the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, I pray thee, let us detainH6113 thee, until we shall have made readyH6213 a kidH1423+H5795 forH6440 thee. {for thee: Heb. before thee}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto ManoahH4495, Though thou detainH6113 me, I will not eatH398 of thy breadH3899: and ifH518 thou wilt offerH6213 a burnt offeringH5930, thou must offerH5927 it unto the LORDH3068. For ManoahH4495 knewH3045 not that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.
Now JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428, and he was the sonH1121 of an harlotH802+H2181: and GileadH1568 begatH3205 JephthahH3316. {Jephthah: called Jephte} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}
And Gilead'sH1568 wifeH802 bareH3205 him sonsH1121; and his wife'sH802 sonsH1121 grew upH1431, and they thrust outH1644 JephthahH3316, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not inheritH5157 in our father'sH1 houseH1004; for thou art the sonH1121 of a strangeH312 womanH802.
Then JephthahH3316 fledH1272 fromH6440 his brethrenH251, and dweltH3427 in the landH776 of TobH2897: and there were gatheredH3950 vainH7386 menH582 to JephthahH3316, and went outH3318 with him. {from: Heb. from the face}
And it came to pass in process of timeH3117, that the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 made warH3898 against IsraelH3478. {in process…: Heb. after days}
And it was so, that when the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 made warH3898 against IsraelH3478, the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 wentH3212 to fetchH3947 JephthahH3316 out of the landH776 of TobH2897:
And they saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, ComeH3212, and be our captainH7101, that we may fightH3898 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, Did not ye hateH8130 me, and expelH1644 me out of my father'sH1 houseH1004? and why are ye comeH935 unto me now when ye are in distressH6887?
And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Therefore we turn againH7725 to thee now, that thou mayest goH1980 with us, and fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and be our headH7218 over all the inhabitantsH3427 of GileadH1568.
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, If ye bring me home againH7725 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliverH5414 them beforeH6440 me, shall I be your headH7218?
And the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, The LORDH3068 be witnessH8085 between us, if we doH6213 not so according to thy wordsH1697. {witness…: Heb. the hearer between us}
Then JephthahH3316 wentH3212 with the eldersH2205 of GileadH1568, and the peopleH5971 madeH7760 him headH7218 and captainH7101 over them: and JephthahH3316 utteredH1696 all his wordsH1697 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in MizpehH4709.
And JephthahH3316 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, sayingH559, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art comeH935 against me to fightH3898 in my landH776?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, How long wilt thou mournH56 for SaulH7586, seeing I have rejectedH3988 him from reigningH4427 over IsraelH3478? fillH4390 thine hornH7161 with oilH8081, and goH3212, I will sendH7971 thee to JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022: for I have providedH7200 me a kingH4428 among his sonsH1121.
Wherefore it came to pass, when the timeH3117 was comeH8622 about after HannahH2584 had conceivedH2029, that she bareH3205 a sonH1121, and calledH7121 his nameH8034 SamuelH8050, saying, Because I have askedH7592 him of the LORDH3068. {when…: Heb. in revolution of days} {Samuel: that is, Asked of God}
RejoiceG5463, andG2532 be exceeding gladG21: forG3754 greatG4183 is yourG5216 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772: forG1063 soG3779 persecuted theyG1377 the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 were beforeG4253 youG5216.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767 that AbrahamG11 ourG2257 fatherG3962, as pertainingG2596 to the fleshG4561, hath foundG2147?
Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081, and anointedH4886 him in the midstH7130 of his brethrenH251: and the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH6743 upon DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 forwardH4605. So SamuelH8050 rose upH6965, and wentH3212 to RamahH7414.
And ElkanahH511 wentH3212 to RamahH7414 to his houseH1004. And the childH5288 didH1961 ministerH8334 unto the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 EliH5941 the priestH3548.
ThereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599, whenG3752 ye shall seeG3700 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, andG2532 allG3956 the prophetsG4396, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, andG1161 youG5209 yourselves thrustG1544 outG1854.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Shall we continueG1961 in sinG266, thatG2443 graceG5485 may aboundG4121?
Now the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH622 their armiesH4264 to battleH4421, and were gathered togetherH622 at ShochohH7755, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and pitchedH2583 between ShochohH7755 and AzekahH5825, in EphesdammimH658. {Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}
And SaulH7586 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH622, and pitchedH2583 by the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, and set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430. {set…: Heb. ranged the battle}
And the PhilistinesH6430 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the one side, and IsraelH3478 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the other side: and there was a valleyH1516 between them.
And there went outH3318 a championH376+H1143 out of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239.
And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was armedH3847 with a coatH8302 of mailH7193; and the weightH4948 of the coatH8302 was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178. {armed: Heb. clothed}
And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 upon his legsH7272, and a targetH3591 of brassH5178 between his shouldersH3802. {target: or, gorget}
And the staffH6086+H2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500; and his spear'sH2595 headH3852 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and one bearingH5375 a shieldH6793 wentH1980 beforeH6440 him.
And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Why are ye come outH3318 to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 you a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to me.
If he be ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and to killH5221 me, then will we be your servantsH5650: but if I prevailH3201 against him, and killH5221 him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 us.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.
When SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
Now DavidH1732 was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH376+H673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121: and the manH376 wentH935 among menH582 for an old manH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586.
And the threeH7969 eldestH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 wentH3212 and followedH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 unto him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048.
And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldestH1419 followedH1980+H310 SaulH7586.
But DavidH1732 wentH1980 and returnedH7725 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629 at BethlehemH1035.
And the PhilistineH6430 drew nearH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himself fortyH705 daysH3117.
And JesseH3448 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 parchedH7039 corn, and these tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251;
And carryH935 these tenH6235 cheesesH2461+H2757 unto the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and lookH6485 how thy brethrenH251 fareH7965, and takeH3947 their pledgeH6161. {cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of…: Heb. of a thousand}
But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.
AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? Is the lawG3551 sinG266? God forbidG3361+G1096. NayG235, I hadG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 sinG266, butG1508 byG1223 the lawG3551: forG1063+G5037 I hadG1492 notG3756 knownG1492 lustG1939, exceptG1508 the lawG3551 had saidG3004, Thou shaltG1937 notG3756 covetG1937. {lust: or, concupiscence}
MenG435 and brethrenG80, letG2036 meG1832 freelyG3326+G3954 speakG2036 untoG4314 youG5209 ofG4012 the patriarchG3966 DavidG1138, thatG3754 he isG5053 bothG2532 deadG5053 andG2532 buriedG2290, andG2532 hisG846 sepulchreG3418 isG2076 withG1722 usG2254 untoG891 thisG5026 dayG2250. {let me: or, I may}
ThereforeG3767 beingG5225 a prophetG4396, andG2532 knowingG1492 thatG3754 GodG2316 had swornG3660 with an oathG3727 to himG846, that ofG1537 the fruitG2590 of hisG846 loinsG3751, according toG2596 the fleshG4561, he would raise upG450 ChristG5547 to sitG2523 onG1909 hisG846 throneG2362;
He seeing this beforeG4275 spakeG2980 ofG4012 the resurrectionG386 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 hisG846 soulG5590 wasG2641 notG3756 leftG2641 inG1519 hellG86, neitherG3761 hisG846 fleshG4561 did seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 unto the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 EliH5941. And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was preciousH3368 in those daysH3117; there was no openH6555 visionH2377.
And it came to pass at that timeH3117, when EliH5941 was laid downH7901 in his placeH4725, and his eyesH5869 beganH2490 to wax dimH3544, that he couldH3201 not seeH7200;
And ere the lampH5216 of GodH430 went outH3518 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, where the arkH727 of GodH430 was, and SamuelH8050 was laid downH7901 to sleep;
That the LORDH3068 calledH7121 SamuelH8050: and he answeredH559, Here am I.
And he ranH7323 unto EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am IH2009; for thou calledstH7121 me. And he saidH559, I calledH7121 not; lie downH7901 againH7725. And he wentH3212 and lay downH7901.
And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 yet againH3254, SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am I; for thou didst callH7121 me. And he answeredH559, I calledH7121 not, my sonH1121; lie downH7901 againH7725.
Now SamuelH8050 did not yetH2962 knowH3045 the LORDH3068, neither was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 yet revealedH1540 unto him. {Now…: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him}
And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 SamuelH8050 againH3254 the third timeH7992. And he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to EliH5941, and saidH559, Here am I; for thou didst callH7121 me. And EliH5941 perceivedH995 that the LORDH3068 had calledH7121 the childH5288.
Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, GoH3212, lie downH7901: and it shall be, if he callH7121 thee, that thou shalt sayH559, SpeakH1696, LORDH3068; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085. So SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and lay downH7901 in his placeH4725.
And the LORDH3068 cameH935, and stoodH3320, and calledH7121 as at other timesH6471, SamuelH8050, SamuelH8050. Then SamuelH8050 answeredH559, SpeakH1696; for thy servantH5650 hearethH8085.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to SamuelH8050, Behold, I will doH6213 a thingH1697 in IsraelH3478, at which bothH8147 the earsH241 of every one that hearethH8085 it shall tingleH6750.
In that dayH3117 I will performH6965 against EliH5941 all things which I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 his houseH1004: when I beginH2490, I will also make an endH3615. {when…: Heb. beginning and ending}
To himG5129 giveG3140 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 witnessG3140, that throughG1223 hisG846 nameG3686 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 inG1519 himG846 shall receiveG2983 remissionG859 of sinsG266.
AndG2532 when he had removedG3179 himG846, he raised upG1453 unto themG846 DavidG1138 to beG1519 their kingG935; to whomG3739 alsoG2532 he gave testimonyG3140, and saidG2036, I have foundG2147 DavidG1138 the son of JesseG2421, a manG435 afterG2596 mine ownG3450 heartG2588, whichG3739 shall fulfilG4160 allG3956 myG3450 willG2307.
OfG575 this man'sG5127 seedG4690 hathG1453 GodG2316 accordingG2596 to his promiseG1860 raisedG1453 unto IsraelG2474 a SaviourG4990, JesusG2424:
When JohnG2491 had first preachedG4296 beforeG4253 hisG846 comingG4383+G1529 the baptismG908 of repentanceG3341 to allG3956 the peopleG2992 of IsraelG2474.
AndG1161 asG5613 JohnG2491 fulfilledG4137 his courseG1408, he saidG3004, WhomG5101 think yeG5282 that IG3165 amG1511? IG1473 amG1510 notG3756 he. ButG235, beholdG2400, there cometh oneG2064 afterG3326 meG1691, whoseG3739 shoesG5266 of his feetG4228 I amG1510 notG3756 worthyG514 to looseG3089.
MenG435 and brethrenG80, childrenG5207 of the stockG1085 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 whosoever amongG1722 youG5213 fearethG5399 GodG2316, to youG5213 isG649 the wordG3056 of thisG5026 salvationG4991 sentG649.
ForG1063 they that dwellG2730 atG1722 JerusalemG2419, andG2532 theirG846 rulersG758, because they knewG50 himG5126 notG50, nor yetG2532 the voicesG5456 of the prophetsG4396 whichG3588 are readG314+G2596 everyG3956 sabbath dayG4521, they have fulfilledG4137 them in condemningG2919 him.
AndG2532 though they foundG2147 noG3367 causeG156 of deathG2288 in him, yet desired theyG154 PilateG4091 that heG846 should be slainG337.
AndG1161 whenG5613 they had fulfilledG5055 allG537 that was writtenG1125 ofG4012 himG846, they took him downG2507 fromG575 the treeG3586, and laidG5087 him inG1519 a sepulchreG3419.
ButG1161 GodG2316 raisedG1453 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498:
And heG3739 was seenG3700 manyG1909+G4119 daysG2250 of them which came up withG4872 himG846 fromG575 GalileeG1056 toG1519 JerusalemG2419, whoG3748 areG1526 hisG846 witnessesG3144 untoG4314 the peopleG2992.
AndG2532 weG2249 declareG2097 unto youG5209 glad tidingsG2097, how thatG3754 the promiseG1860 which was madeG1096 untoG4314 the fathersG3962,
GodG2316 hath fulfilledG1603 the sameG5026 unto usG2254 theirG846 childrenG5043, in that he hath raised upG450 JesusG2424 againG450; asG5613 it isG1125 alsoG2532 writtenG1125 inG1722 the secondG1208 psalmG5568, ThouG4771 artG1488 myG3450 SonG5207, this dayG4594 have IG1473 begottenG1080 theeG4571.
AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 toG3195 returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779+G3754, I will giveG1325 youG5213 the sureG4103 merciesG3741 of DavidG1138. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 anotherG2087 psalm, Thou shaltG1325 notG3756 sufferG1325 thineG4675 Holy OneG3741 to seeG1492 corruptionG1312.
ForG1063+G3303 DavidG1138, after he had servedG5256 his ownG2398 generationG1074 by the willG1012 of GodG2316, fell on sleepG2837, andG2532 was laidG4369 untoG4314 hisG846 fathersG3962, andG2532 sawG1492 corruptionG1312: {after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God}
Now SamuelH8050 was deadH4191, and all IsraelH3478 had lamentedH5594 him, and buriedH6912 him in RamahH7414, even in his own cityH5892. And SaulH7586 had put awayH5493 those that had familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776.
And the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 and pitchedH2583 in ShunemH7766: and SaulH7586 gatheredH6908 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6908, and they pitchedH2583 in GilboaH1533.
And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, he was afraidH3372, and his heartH3820 greatlyH3966 trembledH2729.
And when SaulH7586 enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 him not, neither by dreamsH2472, nor by UrimH224, nor by prophetsH5030.
Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto his servantsH5650, SeekH1245 me a womanH802 that hathH1172 a familiar spiritH178, that I may goH3212 to her, and enquireH1875 of her. And his servantsH5650 saidH559 to him, Behold, there is a womanH802 that hathH1172 a familiar spiritH178 at EndorH5874.
And SaulH7586 disguisedH2664 himself, and put onH3847 otherH312 raimentH899, and he wentH3212, and twoH8147 menH582 with him, and they cameH935 to the womanH802 by nightH3915: and he saidH559, I pray thee, divineH7080 unto me by the familiar spiritH178, and bring me him upH5927, whom I shall nameH559 unto thee.
And the womanH802 saidH559 unto him, Behold, thou knowestH3045 what SaulH7586 hath doneH6213, how he hath cut offH3772 those that have familiar spiritsH178, and the wizardsH3049, out of the landH776: wherefore then layest thou a snareH5367 for my lifeH5315, to cause me to dieH4191?
And SaulH7586 swareH7650 to her by the LORDH3068, sayingH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, there shallH518 no punishmentH5771 happenH7136 to thee for this thingH1697.
Then saidH559 the womanH802, Whom shall I bring upH5927 unto thee? And he saidH559, Bring me upH5927 SamuelH8050.
And when the womanH802 sawH7200 SamuelH8050, she criedH2199 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963: and the womanH802 spakeH559 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, Why hast thou deceivedH7411 me? for thou art SaulH7586.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, Be not afraidH3372: for what sawestH7200 thou? And the womanH802 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I sawH7200 godsH430 ascendingH5927 out of the earthH776.
And he saidH559 unto her, What formH8389 is he of? And she saidH559, An oldH2205 manH376 cometh upH5927; and he is coveredH5844 with a mantleH4598. And SaulH7586 perceivedH3045 that it was SamuelH8050, and he stoopedH6915 with his faceH639 to the groundH776, and bowedH7812 himself. {What…: Heb. What is his form?}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Why hast thou disquietedH7264 me, to bring me upH5927? And SaulH7586 answeredH559, I am soreH3966 distressedH6887; for the PhilistinesH6430 make warH3898 against me, and GodH430 is departedH5493 from me, and answerethH6030 me no more, neither byH3027 prophetsH5030, nor by dreamsH2472: therefore I have calledH7121 thee, that thou mayest make knownH3045 unto me what I shall doH6213. {by prophets: Heb. by the hand of prophets}
Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, Wherefore then dost thou askH7592 of me, seeing the LORDH3068 is departedH5493 from thee, and is become thine enemyH6145?
And the LORDH3068 hath doneH6213 to him, as he spakeH1696 by meH3027: for the LORDH3068 hath rentH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of thine handH3027, and givenH5414 it to thy neighbourH7453, even to DavidH1732: {to him: or, for himself} {me: Heb. mine hand}
BecauseH834 thou obeyedstH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, nor executedstH6213 his fierceH2740 wrathH639 upon AmalekH6002, therefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 this thingH1697 unto thee this dayH3117.
Moreover the LORDH3068 will also deliverH5414 IsraelH3478 with thee into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430: and to morrowH4279 shalt thou and thy sonsH1121 be with me: the LORDH3068 also shall deliverH5414 the hostH4264 of IsraelH3478 into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430.
Then SaulH7586 fellH5307 straightwayH4116 allH4393 alongH6967 on the earthH776, and was soreH3966 afraidH3372, because of the wordsH1697 of SamuelH8050: and there was no strengthH3581 in him; for he had eatenH398 no breadH3899 all the dayH3117, nor all the nightH3915. {fell…: Heb. made haste, and fell with the fulness of his stature}
And the womanH802 cameH935 unto SaulH7586, and sawH7200 that he was soreH3966 troubledH926, and saidH559 unto him, Behold, thine handmaidH8198 hath obeyedH8085 thy voiceH6963, and I have putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handH3709, and have hearkenedH8085 unto thy wordsH1697 which thou spakestH1696 unto me.
Now therefore, I pray thee, hearkenH8085 thou also unto the voiceH6963 of thine handmaidH8198, and let me setH7760 a morselH6595 of breadH3899 beforeH6440 thee; and eatH398, that thou mayest have strengthH3581, when thou goestH3212 on thy wayH1870.
But he refusedH3985, and saidH559, I will not eatH398. But his servantsH5650, together with the womanH802, compelledH6555 him; and he hearkenedH8085 unto their voiceH6963. So he aroseH6965 from the earthH776, and satH3427 upon the bedH4296.
And the womanH802 had a fatH4770 calfH5695 in the houseH1004; and she hastedH4116, and killedH2076 it, and tookH3947 flourH7058, and kneadedH3888 it, and did bakeH644 unleavened breadH4682 thereof:
And she broughtH5066 it beforeH6440 SaulH7586, and beforeH6440 his servantsH5650; and they did eatH398. Then they rose upH6965, and went awayH3212 that nightH3915.
TakeG2983, myG3450 brethrenG80, the prophetsG4396, whoG3739 have spokenG2980 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962, for an exampleG5262 of suffering afflictionG2552, andG2532 of patienceG3115.
MosesH4872 and AaronH175 among his priestsH3548, and SamuelH8050 among them that callH7121 upon his nameH8034; they calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068, and he answeredH6030 them.
OfG4012 whichG3739 salvationG4991 the prophetsG4396 have enquiredG1567 andG2532 searched diligentlyG1830, whoG3588 prophesiedG4395 ofG4012 the graceG5485 that should come untoG1519 youG5209:
SearchingG2045 whatG1519+G5101, orG2228 what mannerG4169 of timeG2540 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547 whichG3588 was inG1722 themG846 did signifyG1213, when it testified beforehandG4303 the sufferingsG3804 ofG1519 ChristG5547, andG2532 the gloryG1391 that should followG3326+G5023.
Unto whomG3739 it was revealedG601, thatG3754 notG3756 unto themselvesG1438, butG1161 unto usG2254 they did ministerG1247 the thingsG846, whichG3739 areG312 nowG3568 reportedG312 unto youG5213 byG1223 them that have preached the gospelG2097 unto youG5209 withG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 sent downG649 fromG575 heavenG3772; which thingsG3739 the angelsG32 desireG1937 to lookG3879 intoG1519.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Though MosesH4872 and SamuelH8050 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 me, yet my mindH5315 could not be toward this peopleH5971: cast them outH7971 of my sightH6440, and let them go forthH3318.
ForG1063 the prophecyG4394 cameG5342 notG3756 in old timeG4218 by the willG2307 of manG444: butG235 holyG40 menG444 of GodG2316 spakeG2980 as they were movedG5342 byG5259 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {in old time: or, at any time}
YeaG2532, andG1161 allG3956 the prophetsG4396 fromG575 SamuelG4545 andG2532 those that follow afterG2517, as many asG3745 have spokenG2980, haveG4293 likewiseG2532 foretoldG4293 of theseG5025 daysG2250.
