ForG1063 IG1473 will shewG5263 himG846 how great thingsG3745 heG846 mustG1163 sufferG3958 forG5228 myG3450 name's sakeG3686+G5228.
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.
By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.
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}
ButG1161 he that gloriethG2744, let him gloryG2744 inG1722 the LordG2962.
WhoG3588 comfortethG3870 usG2248 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 tribulationG2347, thatG1519 weG2248 may be ableG1410 to comfortG3870 them which are inG1722 anyG3956 troubleG2347, byG1223 the comfortG3874 wherewithG3739 weG3870 ourselvesG846 are comfortedG3870 ofG5259 GodG2316.
I am becomeG1096 a foolG878 in gloryingG2744; yeG5210 have compelledG315 meG3165: forG1063 IG1473 oughtG3784 to have been commendedG4921 ofG5259 youG5216: forG1063 in nothingG3762 am I behindG5302 the very chiefestG3029 apostlesG652+G5228, thoughG1499 I beG1510 nothingG3762.
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
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}
AndG1161 he saidG3004 toG4314 them allG3956, If any manG1536 willG2309 comeG2064 afterG3694 meG3450, let him denyG533 himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142 hisG846 crossG4716 dailyG2250+G2596, andG2532 followG190 meG3427.
ForG3754 weG2254 wrestleG3823 notG3756 againstG2076+G4314 fleshG4561 andG2532 bloodG129, butG235 againstG4314 principalitiesG746, againstG4314 powersG1849, againstG4314 the rulersG2888 of the darknessG4655 of thisG5127 worldG165, againstG4314 spiritualG4152 wickednessG4189 inG1722 highG2032 places. {flesh…: Gr. blood and flesh} {spiritual…: or, wicked spirits} {high: or, heavenly}
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
AtG1722 myG3450 firstG4413 answerG627 no manG3762 stoodG4836 with meG3427, butG235 allG3956 men forsookG1459 meG3165: I pray God that it mayG3049 notG3361 be laidG3049 to their chargeG846.
NotwithstandingG1161 the LordG2962 stoodG3936 with meG3427, andG2532 strengthenedG1743 meG3165; thatG2443 byG1223 meG1700 the preachingG2782 might be fully knownG4135, andG2532 that allG3956 the GentilesG1484 might hearG191: andG2532 I was deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the mouthG4750 of the lionG3023.
AndG2532 thisG5124 I prayG4336, thatG2443 yourG5216 loveG26 may aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 in allG3956 judgmentG144; {judgment: or, sense}
FinallyG3063, myG3450 brethrenG80, be strongG1743 inG1722 the LordG2962, andG2532 inG1722 the powerG2904 of hisG846 mightG2479.
LoveG25 notG3361 the worldG2889, neitherG3366 the things that are inG1722 the worldG2889. IfG1437 any manG5100 loveG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 isG2076 notG3756 inG1722 himG846.
ForG3754 allG3956 that is inG1722 the worldG2889, the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561, andG2532 the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788, andG2532 the prideG212 of lifeG979, isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 the FatherG3962, butG235 isG2076 ofG1537 the worldG2889.
Ye adulterersG3432 andG2532 adulteressesG3428, know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 the friendshipG5373 of the worldG2889 isG2076 enmityG2189 with GodG2316? whosoeverG3739+G302 thereforeG3767 will beG1511+G1014 a friendG5384 of the worldG2889 isG2525 the enemyG2190 of GodG2316.
WhatG5101 shall weG2046 thenG3767 sayG2046 toG4314 these thingsG5023? IfG1487 GodG2316 be forG5228 usG2257, whoG5101 can be againstG2596 usG2257?
ButG1161 thouG4771, whenG3752 thou prayestG4336, enterG1525 intoG1519 thyG4675 closetG5009, andG2532 when thou hast shutG2808 thyG4675 doorG2374, prayG4336 to thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 is inG1722 secretG2927; andG2532 thyG4675 FatherG3962 whichG3588 seethG991 inG1722 secretG2927 shall rewardG591 theeG4671 openlyG1722+G5318.
