And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto all IsraelH3478, Behold, I have hearkenedH8085 unto your voiceH6963 in all that ye saidH559 unto me, and have madeH4427 a kingH4428 over you.
And now, behold, the kingH4428 walkethH1980 beforeH6440 you: and I am oldH2204 and grayheadedH7867; and, behold, my sonsH1121 are with you: and I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 you from my childhoodH5271 unto this dayH3117.
Behold, here I am: witnessH6030 against me before the LORDH3068, and before his anointedH4899: whose oxH7794 have I takenH3947? or whose assH2543 have I takenH3947? or whom have I defraudedH6231? whom have I oppressedH7533? or of whose handH3027 have I received any bribeH3724 to blindH5956 mine eyesH5869 therewith? and I will restoreH7725 it you. {bribe: Heb. ransom} {to blind…: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him}
And they saidH559, Thou hast not defraudedH6231 us, nor oppressedH7533 us, neither hast thou takenH3947 oughtH3972 of any man'sH376 handH3027.
And he saidH559 unto them, The LORDH3068 is witnessH5707 against you, and his anointedH4899 is witnessH5707 this dayH3117, that ye have not foundH4672 oughtH3972 in my handH3027. And they answeredH559, He is witnessH5707.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, It is the LORDH3068 that advancedH6213 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and that broughtH5927 your fathersH1 upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {advanced: or, made}
Now therefore stand stillH3320, that I may reasonH8199 with you beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of all the righteous actsH6666 of the LORDH3068, which he didH6213 to you and to your fathersH1. {righteous…: Heb. righteousnesses, or, benefits} {to: Heb. with}
When JacobH3290 was comeH935 into EgyptH4714, and your fathersH1 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, then the LORDH3068 sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, which brought forthH3318 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714, and made them dwellH3427 in this placeH4725.
And when they forgatH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, he soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of SiseraH5516, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of HazorH2674, and into the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430, and into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and they foughtH3898 against them.
And they criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, and saidH559, We have sinnedH2398, because we have forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068, and have servedH5647 BaalimH1168 and AshtarothH6252: but now deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of our enemiesH341, and we will serveH5647 thee.
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 when ye sawH7200 that NahashH5176 the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 cameH935 against you, ye saidH559 unto me, Nay; but a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 over us: when the LORDH3068 your GodH430 was your kingH4428.
Now therefore behold the kingH4428 whom ye have chosenH977, and whom ye have desiredH7592! and, behold, the LORDH3068 hath setH5414 a kingH4428 over you.
If ye will fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him, and obeyH8085 his voiceH6963, and not rebelH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, then shall both ye and also the kingH4428 that reignethH4427 over you continue followingH310 the LORDH3068 your GodH430: {commandment: Heb. mouth} {continue…: Heb. be after}
But if ye will not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, but rebelH4784 against the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, then shall the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 be against you, as it was against your fathersH1.
Now thereforeH1571 standH3320 and seeH7200 this greatH1419 thingH1697, which the LORDH3068 will doH6213 before your eyesH5869.
Is it not wheatH2406 harvestH7105 to dayH3117? I will callH7121 unto the LORDH3068, and he shall sendH5414 thunderH6963 and rainH4306; that ye may perceiveH3045 and seeH7200 that your wickednessH7451 is greatH7227, which ye have doneH6213 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, in askingH7592 you a kingH4428.
So SamuelH8050 calledH7121 unto the LORDH3068; and the LORDH3068 sentH5414 thunderH6963 and rainH4306 that dayH3117: and all the peopleH5971 greatlyH3966 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068 and SamuelH8050.
And all the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, PrayH6419 for thy servantsH5650 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that we dieH4191 not: for we have addedH3254 unto all our sinsH2403 this evilH7451, to askH7592 us a kingH4428.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 not: ye have doneH6213 all this wickednessH7451: yet turn not asideH5493 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, but serveH5647 the LORDH3068 with all your heartH3824;
And turn ye not asideH5493: for then should ye go afterH310 vainH8414 things, which cannot profitH3276 nor deliverH5337; for they are vainH8414.
For the LORDH3068 will not forsakeH5203 his peopleH5971 for his greatH1419 name'sH8034 sake: because it hath pleasedH2974 the LORDH3068 to makeH6213 you his peopleH5971.
Moreover as for meH595, God forbidH2486 that I should sinH2398 against the LORDH3068 in ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for you: but I will teachH3384 you the goodH2896 and the rightH3477 wayH1870: {in: Heb. from}
Only fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in truthH571 with all your heartH3824: for considerH7200 how great things he hath doneH1431 for you. {how…: or, what a great thing}
But if ye shall stillH7489 do wickedlyH7489, ye shall be consumedH5595, both ye and your kingH4428.

Then my angerH639 shall be kindledH2734 against them in that dayH3117, and I will forsakeH5800 them, and I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, and they shall be devouredH398, and manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 shall befallH4672 them; so that they will sayH559 in that dayH3117, Are not these evilsH7451 comeH4672 upon us, because our GodH430 is not amongH7130 us? {befall: Heb. find}
Wherefore should the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, and sayH559, For mischiefH7451 did he bringH3318 them out, to slayH2026 them in the mountainsH2022, and to consumeH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127? TurnH7725 from thy fierceH2740 wrathH639, and repentH5162 of this evilH7451 against thy peopleH5971.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
And I will dwellH7931 amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and will not forsakeH5800 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Then the EgyptiansH4714 shall hearH8085 it, (for thou broughtest upH5927 this peopleH5971 in thy mightH3581 from amongH7130 them;)
And they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776: for they have heardH8085 that thou LORDH3068 art amongH7130 this peopleH5971, that thou LORDH3068 art seenH7200 faceH5869 to faceH5869, and that thy cloudH6051 standethH5975 over them, and that thou goestH1980 beforeH6440 them, by day timeH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915.
Now if thou shalt killH4191 all this peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, then the nationsH1471 which have heardH8085 the fameH8088 of thee will speakH559, sayingH559,
Because the LORDH3068 was notH1115 ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 into the landH776 which he swareH7650 unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819 them in the wildernessH4057.
And now, I beseech thee, let the powerH3581 of my LordH136 be greatH1431, accordingH834 as thou hast spokenH1696, sayingH559,
The LORDH3068 is longsufferingH750+H639, and of greatH7227 mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, and by no meansH5352 clearingH5352 the guilty, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation.
PardonH5545, I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercyH2617, and as thou hast forgivenH5375 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even until nowH2008. {until…: or, hitherto}
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And I will forsakeH5203 the remnantH7611 of mine inheritanceH5159, and deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of their enemiesH341; and they shall become a preyH957 and a spoilH4933 to all their enemiesH341;
I saidH559, I would scatter them into cornersH6284, I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among menH582:
The LORDH3068 did not set his loveH2836 upon you, nor chooseH977 you, because ye were moreH7230 in number than any peopleH5971; for ye were the fewestH4592 of all peopleH5971:
And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
Were it notH3884 that I fearedH1481 the wrathH3708 of the enemyH341, lest their adversariesH6862 should behave themselves strangelyH5234, and lest they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is highH7311, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6466 all this. {Our…: or, Our high hand, and not the LORD hath done}
But because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 you, and because he would keepH8104 the oathH7621 which he had swornH7650 unto your fathersH1, hath the LORDH3068 brought you outH3318 with a mightyH2389 handH3027, and redeemedH6299 you out of the houseH1004 of bondmenH5650, from the handH3027 of PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
And he went outH3318 to meetH6440 AsaH609, and saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 ye me, AsaH609, and all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144; The LORDH3068 is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of you; but if ye forsakeH5800 him, he will forsakeH5800 you. {to meet…: Heb. before Asa}
For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us roundH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
Not for thy righteousnessH6666, or for the uprightnessH3476 of thine heartH3824, dost thou goH935 to possessH3423 their landH776: but for the wickednessH7564 of these nationsH1471 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 doth drive them outH3423 from beforeH6440 thee, and that he may performH6965 the wordH1697 which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290.
For the LORDH3068 will not cast offH5203 his peopleH5971, neither will he forsakeH5800 his inheritanceH5159.
Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name'sH8034 sake, that he might make his mighty powerH1369 to be knownH3045.
For thou art an holyH6918 peopleH5971 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 thee to be a peculiarH5459 peopleH5971 unto himself, above all the nationsH5971 that are uponH6440 the earthH127.
When the poorH6041 and needyH34 seekH1245 waterH4325, and there is none, and their tongueH3956 failethH5405 for thirstH6772, I the LORDH3068 will hearH6030 them, I the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 will not forsakeH5800 them.
For I will defendH1598 this cityH5892 to saveH3467 it for mine own sake, and for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake.
I have lovedH157 you, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, Wherein hast thou lovedH157 us? Was not EsauH6215 Jacob'sH3290 brotherH251? saithH559 the LORDH3068: yet I lovedH157 JacobH3290,
And I will bringH3212 the blindH5787 by a wayH1870 that they knewH3045 not; I will leadH1869 them in pathsH5410 that they have not knownH3045: I will makeH7760 darknessH4285 lightH216 beforeH6440 them, and crooked thingsH4625 straightH4334. These thingsH1697 will I doH6213 unto them, and not forsakeH5800 them. {straight: Heb. into straightness}
I, even I, am he that blotteth outH4229 thy transgressionsH6588 for mine own sake, and will not rememberH2142 thy sinsH2403.
ConsiderestH7200 thou not what this peopleH5971 have spokenH1696, sayingH559, The twoH8147 familiesH4940 which the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, he hath even cast them offH3988? thus they have despisedH5006 my peopleH5971, that they should be no more a nationH1471 beforeH6440 them.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; If my covenantH1285 be not with dayH3119 and nightH3915, and if I have not appointedH7760 the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064 and earthH776;
ThenH1571 will I cast awayH3988 the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, and DavidH1732 my servantH5650, so that I will not takeH3947 any of his seedH2233 to be rulersH4910 over the seedH2233 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3446, and JacobH3290: for I will cause their captivityH7622 to returnH7725+H7725, and have mercyH7355 on them.
For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I doH6213 it: for how should my name be pollutedH2490? and I will not giveH5414 my gloryH3519 unto anotherH312.
YeG5210 haveG1586 notG3756 chosenG1586 meG3165, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG5209, andG2532 ordainedG5087 youG5209, thatG2443 yeG5210 should goG5217 andG2532 bring forthG5342 fruitG2590, andG2532 that yourG5216 fruitG2590 should remainG3306: thatG2443 whatsoeverG3739+G302+G3748 ye shall askG154 of the FatherG3962 inG1722 myG3450 nameG3686, he may give itG1325 youG5213.
O LORDH3068, though our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 against us, doH6213 thou it for thy name'sH8034 sake: for our backslidingsH4878 are manyH7231; we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, JacobG2384 have I lovedG25, butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.
WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767+G3361? Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361+G1096.
ForG1063 he saithG3004 to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653 whomG3739+G302 I will have mercyG1653, andG2532 I will have compassionG3627 on whomG3739+G302 I will have compassionG3627.
SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309, norG3761 of him that runnethG5143, butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.
ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004 unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754+G1519 thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825, thatG3704 I might shewG1731 myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229 throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093.
ThereforeG686+G3767 hath he mercyG1653 on whomG3739 he willG2309 have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309 he hardenethG4645.
But though he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
Do not abhorH5006 us, for thy name'sH8034 sake, do not disgraceH5034 the throneH3678 of thy gloryH3519: rememberH2142, breakH6565 not thy covenantH1285 with us.
Wherefore dost thou forgetH7911 us for everH5331, and forsakeH5800 us so longH753 timeH3117? {so…: Heb. for length of days?}
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, amongH8432 whom they were, in whose sightH5869 I made myself knownH3045 unto them, in bringing them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
ForG1063 whoG5101 makethG1252 theeG4571 to differG1252 from another? andG1161 whatG5101 hast thouG2192 thatG3739 thou didstG2983 notG3756 receiveG2983+G1161? now ifG1499 thou didst receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 dost thou gloryG2744, asG5613 if thou hadstG2983 notG3361 receivedG2983 it? {maketh…: Gr. distinguisheth thee}
Let your conversationG5158 be without covetousnessG866; and be contentG714 with such things as ye haveG3918: forG1063 heG846 hath saidG2046, I will neverG3364 leaveG447 theeG4571, norG3761+G3364 forsakeG1459 theeG4571.
But I wroughtH6213 for my name'sH8034 sake, that it should not be pollutedH2490 beforeH5869 the heathenH1471, in whose sightH5869 I brought them outH3318.
Being confidentG3982 of thisG5124 very thingG846, thatG3754 he which hath begunG1728 a goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG5213 will performG2005 it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: {perform: or, finish}
