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.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, How can I goH3212? if SaulH7586 hearH8085 it, he will killH2026 me. And the LORDH3068 saidH559, TakeH3947 an heiferH1241+H5697 with theeH3027, and sayH559, I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068. {with thee: Heb. in thine hand}
And callH7121 JesseH3448 to the sacrificeH2077, and I will shewH3045 thee what thou shalt doH6213: and thou shalt anointH4886 unto me him whom I nameH559 unto thee.
And SamuelH8050 didH6213 that which the LORDH3068 spakeH1696, and cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And the eldersH2205 of the townH5892 trembledH2729 at his comingH7125, and saidH559, ComestH935 thou peaceablyH7965? {coming: Heb. meeting}
And he saidH559, PeaceablyH7965: I am comeH935 to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and comeH935 with me to the sacrificeH2077. And he sanctifiedH6942 JesseH3448 and his sonsH1121, and calledH7121 them to the sacrificeH2077.
And it came to pass, when they were comeH935, that he lookedH7200 on EliabH446, and saidH559, Surely the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899 is before him. {Eliab: called Elihu}
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, LookH5027 not on his countenanceH4758, or on the heightH1364 of his statureH6967; because I have refusedH3988 him: for the LORD seeth not as manH120 seethH7200; for manH120 lookethH7200 on the outward appearanceH5869, but the LORDH3068 lookethH7200 on the heartH3824. {outward…: Heb. eyes}
Then JesseH3448 calledH7121 AbinadabH41, and made him passH5674 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050. And he saidH559, Neither hath the LORDH3068 chosenH977 this.
Then JesseH3448 made ShammahH8048 to pass byH5674. And he saidH559, Neither hath the LORDH3068 chosenH977 this.
Again, JesseH3448 made sevenH7651 of his sonsH1121 to passH5674 beforeH6440 SamuelH8050. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, The LORDH3068 hath not chosenH977 these.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, Are here allH8552 thy childrenH5288? And he saidH559, There remainethH7604 yet the youngestH6996, and, behold, he keepethH7462 the sheepH6629. And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto JesseH3448, SendH7971 and fetchH3947 him: for we will not sit downH5437 till he comeH935 hitherH6311. {down: Heb. round}
And he sentH7971, and brought him inH935. Now he was ruddyH132, and withalH5973 of a beautifulH3303 countenanceH5869, and goodlyH2896 to look toH7210. And the LORDH3068 saidH559, AriseH6965, anointH4886 him: for this is he. {of a…: Heb. fair of eyes}
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.
But the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 departedH5493 from SaulH7586, and an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from the LORDH3068 troubledH1204 him. {troubled: or, terrified}
And Saul'sH7586 servantsH5650 saidH559 unto him, Behold now, an evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 troublethH1204 thee.
Let our lordH113 now commandH559 thy servantsH5650, which are beforeH6440 thee, to seek outH1245 a manH376, who is a cunningH3045 playerH5059 on an harpH3658: and it shall come to pass, when the evilH7451 spiritH7307 from GodH430 is upon thee, that he shall playH5059 with his handH3027, and thou shalt be wellH2895.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, ProvideH7200 me now a manH376 that can playH5059 wellH3190, and bringH935 him to me.
Then answeredH6030 oneH259 of the servantsH5288, and saidH559, Behold, I have seenH7200 a sonH1121 of JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022, that is cunningH3045 in playingH5059, and a mightyH1368 valiant manH2428, and a manH376 of warH4421, and prudentH995 in mattersH1697, and a comelyH8389 personH376, and the LORDH3068 is with him. {matters: or, speech}
Wherefore SaulH7586 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto JesseH3448, and saidH559, SendH7971 me DavidH1732 thy sonH1121, which is with the sheepH6629.
And JesseH3448 tookH3947 an assH2543 laden with breadH3899, and a bottleH4997 of wineH3196, and aH259 kidH1423+H5795, and sentH7971 them byH3027 DavidH1732 his sonH1121 unto SaulH7586.
And DavidH1732 cameH935 to SaulH7586, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he lovedH157 him greatlyH3966; and he became his armourbearerH5375+H3627.
And SaulH7586 sentH7971 to JesseH3448, sayingH559, Let DavidH1732, I pray thee, standH5975 beforeH6440 me; for he hath foundH4672 favourH2580 in my sightH5869.
And it came to pass, when the evil spiritH7307 from GodH430 was upon SaulH7586, that DavidH1732 tookH3947 an harpH3658, and playedH5059 with his handH3027: so SaulH7586 was refreshedH7304, and was wellH2895, and the evilH7451 spiritH7307 departedH5493 from him.
NowG1161 we beseechG2065 youG5209, brethrenG80, byG5228 the comingG3952 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 by ourG2257 gathering togetherG1997 untoG1909 himG846, {unto him: or, around him}
ThatG1519 yeG5209 beG4531 notG3361 soonG5030 shakenG4531 inG575 mindG3563, orG3383 be troubledG2360, neitherG3383 byG1223 spiritG4151, norG3383 byG1223 wordG3056, norG3383 byG1223 letterG1992 asG5613 fromG1223 usG2257, asG5613 thatG3754 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 is at handG1764.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
Remember yeG3421 notG3756, thatG3754, when I wasG5607 yetG2089 withG4314 youG5209, I toldG3004 youG5213 these thingsG5023?
AndG2532 nowG3568 ye knowG1492 what withholdethG2722 thatG1519 heG846 might be revealedG601 inG1722 hisG1438 timeG2540. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
ForG1063 the mysteryG3466 of iniquityG458 dothG1754 alreadyG2235 workG1754: onlyG3440 he who nowG737 lettethG2722 will let, untilG2193 he be takenG1096 out ofG1537 the wayG3319.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shallG601 that WickedG459 be revealedG601, whomG3739 the LordG2962 shall consumeG355 with the spiritG4151 of hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 shall destroyG2673 with the brightnessG2015 of hisG846 comingG3952:
Even him, whoseG3739 comingG3952 isG2076 afterG2596 the workingG1753 of SatanG4567 withG1722 allG3956 powerG1411 andG2532 signsG4592 andG2532 lyingG5579 wondersG5059,
AndG2532 withG1722 allG3956 deceivablenessG539 of unrighteousnessG93 inG1722 them that perishG622; becauseG473+G3739 they receivedG1209 notG3756 the loveG26 of the truthG225, thatG1519 theyG846 might be savedG4982.
AndG2532 for thisG5124 causeG1223 GodG2316 shall sendG3992 themG846 strongG1753 delusionG4106, thatG1519 theyG846 should believeG4100 a lieG5579:
ThatG2443 they allG3956 might be damnedG2919 whoG3588 believedG4100 notG3361 the truthG225, butG235 had pleasureG2106 inG1722 unrighteousnessG93.
ButG1161 weG2249 are boundG3784 to give thanksG2168 alwayG3842 to GodG2316 forG4012 youG5216, brethrenG80 belovedG25 ofG5259 the LordG2962, becauseG3754 GodG2316 hathG138 fromG575 the beginningG746 chosenG138 youG5209 toG1519 salvationG4991 throughG1722 sanctificationG38 of the SpiritG4151 andG2532 beliefG4102 of the truthG225:
WhereuntoG1519+G3739 he calledG2564 youG5209 byG1223 ourG2257 gospelG2098, toG1519 the obtainingG4047 of the gloryG1391 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ThereforeG686+G3767, brethrenG80, stand fastG4739, andG2532 holdG2902 the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 ye have been taughtG1321, whetherG1535 byG1223 wordG3056, orG1535+G1223 ourG2257 epistleG1992.
NowG1161 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 himselfG846, andG2532 GodG2316, evenG2532 ourG2257 FatherG3962, whichG3588 hath lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 hath givenG1325 us everlastingG166 consolationG3874 andG2532 goodG18 hopeG1680 throughG1722 graceG5485,
ComfortG3870 yourG5216 heartsG2588, andG2532 stablishG4741 youG5209 inG1722 everyG3956 goodG18 wordG3056 andG2532 workG2041.
