Behold, I have givenH5414 him for a witnessH5707 to the peopleH3816, a leaderH5057 and commanderH6680 to the peopleH3816.
RejoiceH1523 greatlyH3966, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: behold, thy KingH4428 comethH935 unto thee: he is justH6662, and having salvationH3467; lowlyH6041, and ridingH7392 upon an assH2543, and upon a coltH5895 the foalH1121 of an assH860. {having…: or, saving himself}
AndG1161 she shall bring forthG5088 a sonG5207, andG2532 thou shalt callG2564 hisG846 nameG3686 JESUSG2424: forG1063 heG846 shall saveG4982 hisG846 peopleG2992 fromG575 theirG846 sinsG266. {JESUS: that is, Saviour, Heb}
And I will shakeH7493 all nationsH1471, and the desireH2532 of all nationsH1471 shall comeH935: and I will fillH4390 this houseH1004 with gloryH3519, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 a vialH6378 of oilH8081, and pouredH3332 it upon his headH7218, and kissedH5401 him, and saidH559, Is it not because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886 thee to be captainH5057 over his inheritanceH5159?
When thou art departedH3212 from meH5978 to dayH3117, then thou shalt findH4672 twoH8147 menH582 by Rachel'sH7354 sepulchreH6900 in the borderH1366 of BenjaminH1144 at ZelzahH6766; and they will sayH559 unto thee, The assesH860 which thou wentestH1980 to seekH1245 are foundH4672: and, lo, thy fatherH1 hath leftH5203 the careH1697 of the assesH860, and sorrowethH1672 for you, sayingH559, What shall I doH6213 for my sonH1121? {care: Heb. business}
Then shalt thou go onH2498 forwardH1973 from thence, and thou shalt comeH935 to the plainH436 of TaborH8396, and there shall meetH4672 thee threeH7969 menH582 going upH5927 to GodH430 to BethelH1008, oneH259 carryingH5375 threeH7969 kidsH1423, and anotherH259 carryingH5375 threeH7969 loavesH3603 of breadH3899, and anotherH259 carryingH5375 a bottleH5035 of wineH3196:
And they willH7592 saluteH7965 thee, and giveH5414 thee twoH8147 loaves of breadH3899; which thou shalt receiveH3947 of their handsH3027. {salute…: Heb. ask thee of peace}
AfterH310 that thou shalt comeH935 to the hillH1389 of GodH430, where is the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thitherH935 to the cityH5892, that thou shalt meetH6293 a companyH2256 of prophetsH5030 coming downH3381 from the high placeH1116 with a psalteryH5035, and a tabretH8596, and a pipeH2485, and a harpH3658, beforeH6440 them; and they shall prophesyH5012:
And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 will comeH6743 upon thee, and thou shalt prophesyH5012 with them, and shalt be turnedH2015 into anotherH312 manH376.
And let it be, when these signsH226 are comeH935 unto thee, that thou doH6213 as occasionH4672 serveH3027 thee; for GodH430 is with thee. {And…: Heb. And it shall come to pass, that when these signs, etc} {that…: Heb. do for thee as thine hand shall find}
And thou shalt go downH3381 beforeH6440 me to GilgalH1537; and, behold, I will come downH3381 unto thee, to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930, and to sacrificeH2076 sacrificesH2077 of peace offeringsH8002: sevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou tarryH3176, till I comeH935 to thee, and shewH3045 thee what thou shalt doH6213.
And it was so, that when he had turnedH6437 his backH7926 to goH3212 from SamuelH8050, GodH430 gaveH2015 him anotherH312 heartH3820: and all those signsH226 cameH935 to pass that dayH3117. {back: Heb. shoulder} {gave: Heb. turned}
And when they cameH935 thither to the hillH1389, behold, a companyH2256 of prophetsH5030 metH7125 him; and the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH6743 upon him, and he prophesiedH5012 amongH8432 them.
And it came to pass, when all that knewH3045 him beforetimeH865+H8032 sawH7200 that, behold, he prophesiedH5012 among the prophetsH5030, then the peopleH5971 saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, What is this that is come unto the sonH1121 of KishH7027? Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030? {one…: Heb. a man to his neighbour}
And oneH376 of the same place answeredH6030 and saidH559, But who is their fatherH1? Therefore it became a proverbH4912, Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030? {of…: Heb. from thence}
And when he had made an endH3615 of prophesyingH5012, he cameH935 to the high placeH1116.
And Saul'sH7586 uncleH1730 saidH559 unto him and to his servantH5288, WhitherH575 wentH1980 ye? And he saidH559, To seekH1245 the assesH860: and when we sawH7200 that they were no whereH369, we cameH935 to SamuelH8050.
And Saul'sH7586 uncleH1730 saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, what SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto you.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his uncleH1730, He toldH5046 us plainlyH5046 that the assesH860 were foundH4672. But of the matterH1697 of the kingdomH4410, whereof SamuelH8050 spakeH559, he toldH5046 him not.
And SamuelH8050 calledH6817 the peopleH5971 together unto the LORDH3068 to MizpehH4709;
And saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, and deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of all kingdomsH4467, and of them that oppressedH3905 you:
And ye have this dayH3117 rejectedH3988 your GodH430, who himself savedH3467 you out of all your adversitiesH7451 and your tribulationsH6869; and ye have saidH559 unto him, Nay, but setH7760 a kingH4428 over us. Now therefore presentH3320 yourselves beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 by your tribesH7626, and by your thousandsH505.
And when SamuelH8050 had caused all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to come nearH7126, the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144 was takenH3920.
When he had caused the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144 to come nearH7126 by their familiesH4940, the familyH4940 of MatriH4309 was takenH3920, and SaulH7586 the sonH1121 of KishH7027 was takenH3920: and when they soughtH1245 him, he could not be foundH4672.
Therefore they enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068 further, if the manH376 should yet comeH935 thitherH1988. And the LORDH3068 answeredH559, Behold, he hath hidH2244 himself among the stuffH3627.
And they ranH7323 and fetchedH3947 him thence: and when he stoodH3320 amongH8432 the peopleH5971, he was higherH1361 than any of the peopleH5971 from his shouldersH7926 and upwardH4605.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to all the peopleH5971, SeeH7200 ye him whom the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977, that there is none like him among all the peopleH5971? And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and saidH559, God saveH2421 the kingH4428. {God…: Heb. Let the king live}
Then SamuelH8050 toldH1696 the peopleH5971 the mannerH4941 of the kingdomH4410, and wroteH3789 it in a bookH5612, and laid it upH3240 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 sentH7971 all the peopleH5971 awayH7971, every manH376 to his houseH1004.
And SaulH7586 also wentH1980 homeH1004 to GibeahH1390; and there wentH3212 with him a band of menH2428, whose heartsH3820 GodH430 had touchedH5060.
But the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100 saidH559, How shall this man saveH3467 us? And they despisedH959 him, and broughtH935 him no presentsH4503. But he held his peaceH2790. {held…: or, was as though he had been deaf}
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
I gaveH5414 thee a kingH4428 in mine angerH639, and tookH3947 him away in my wrathH5678.
KissH5401 the SonH1248, lest he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 from the wayH1870, when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197 but a littleH4592. BlessedH835 are all they that put their trustH2620 in him.
And he gatheredH622 unto him the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 and AmalekH6002, and wentH3212 and smoteH5221 IsraelH3478, and possessedH3423 the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558+H5899.
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 came to pass after thisH310, that the kingH4428 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 diedH4191, and HanunH2586 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732, I will shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto HanunH2586 the sonH1121 of NahashH5176, as his fatherH1 shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 unto me. And DavidH1732 sentH7971 to comfortH5162 him by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650 for his fatherH1. And David'sH1732 servantsH5650 cameH935 into the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And the princesH8269 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 saidH559 unto HanunH2586 their lordH113, ThinkestH5869 thou that DavidH1732 doth honourH3513 thy fatherH1, that he hath sentH7971 comfortersH5162 unto thee? hath not DavidH1732 rather sentH7971 his servantsH5650 unto thee, toH5668 searchH2713 the cityH5892, and to spy it outH7270, and to overthrowH2015 it? {Thinkest…: Heb. In thine eyes doth David?}
Wherefore HanunH2586 tookH3947 David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and shaved offH1548 the one halfH2677 of their beardsH2206, and cut offH3772 their garmentsH4063 in the middleH2677, even to their buttocksH8357, and sent them awayH7971.
When they toldH5046 it unto DavidH1732, he sentH7971 to meetH7125 them, because the menH582 were greatlyH3966 ashamedH3637: and the kingH4428 saidH559, TarryH3427 at JerichoH3405 until your beardsH2206 be grownH6779, and then returnH7725.
From the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491, from the fatH2459 of the mightyH1368, the bowH7198 of JonathanH3083 turnedH7734 not backH268, and the swordH2719 of SaulH7586 returnedH7725 not emptyH7387.
SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 were lovelyH157 and pleasantH5273 in their livesH2416, and in their deathH4194 they were not dividedH6504: they were swifterH7043 than eaglesH5404, they were strongerH1396 than lionsH738. {pleasant: or, sweet}
CircumcisedG4061 the eighthG3637 day, ofG1537 the stockG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, an HebrewG1445 ofG1537 the HebrewsG1445; as touchingG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330;
SaulH7586 reignedH4427 one yearH1121+H8141; and when he had reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141 over IsraelH3478, {reigned one…: Heb. the son of one year in his reigning}
SaulH7586 choseH977 him threeH7969 thousandH505 men of IsraelH3478; whereof two thousandH505 were with SaulH7586 in MichmashH4363 and in mountH2022 BethelH1008, and a thousandH505 were with JonathanH3129 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144: and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he sentH7971 every manH376 to his tentH168.
And JonathanH3129 smoteH5221 the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430 that was in GebaH1387, and the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 of it. And SaulH7586 blewH8628 the trumpetH7782 throughout all the landH776, sayingH559, Let the HebrewsH5680 hearH8085. {Geba: or, the hill}
And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559 that SaulH7586 had smittenH5221 a garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430, and that IsraelH3478 also was had in abominationH887 with the PhilistinesH6430. And the peopleH5971 were called togetherH6817 afterH310 SaulH7586 to GilgalH1537. {was…: Heb. did stink}
And the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH622 to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478, thirtyH7970 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and sixH8337 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and peopleH5971 as the sandH2344 which is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitudeH7230: and they came upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in MichmashH4363, eastwardH6926 from BethavenH1007.
When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that they were in a straitH6887, (for the peopleH5971 were distressedH5065,) then the peopleH5971 did hideH2244 themselves in cavesH4631, and in thicketsH2337, and in rocksH5553, and in high placesH6877, and in pitsH953.
And some of the HebrewsH5680 went overH5674 JordanH3383 to the landH776 of GadH1410 and GileadH1568. As for SaulH7586, he was yet in GilgalH1537, and all the peopleH5971 followedH310 him tremblingH2729. {followed…: Heb. trembled after him}
And he tarriedH3176+H3176 sevenH7651 daysH3117, according to the set timeH4150 that SamuelH8050 had appointed: but SamuelH8050 cameH935 not to GilgalH1537; and the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 from him.
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Bring hitherH5066 a burnt offeringH5930 to me, and peace offeringsH8002. And he offeredH5927 the burnt offeringH5930.
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927 the burnt offeringH5930, behold, SamuelH8050 cameH935; and SaulH7586 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him, that he might saluteH1288 him. {salute: Heb. bless}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What hast thou doneH6213? And SaulH7586 saidH559, Because I sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were scatteredH5310 from me, and that thou camestH935 not within the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH622 at MichmashH4363;
Therefore saidH559 I, The PhilistinesH6430 will come downH3381 now upon me to GilgalH1537, and I have not made supplicationH2470 untoH6440 the LORDH3068: I forcedH662 myself therefore, and offeredH5927 a burnt offeringH5930. {made…: Heb. intreated the face}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thou hast done foolishlyH5528: thou hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which he commandedH6680 thee: for now would the LORDH3068 have establishedH3559 thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
But now thy kingdomH4467 shall not continueH6965: the LORDH3068 hath soughtH1245 him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680 him to be captainH5057 over his peopleH5971, because thou hast not keptH8104 that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 thee.
And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965, and gat him upH5927 from GilgalH1537 unto GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144. And SaulH7586 numberedH6485 the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672 with him, about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376. {present: Heb. found}
And SaulH7586, and JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672 with them, abodeH3427 in GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144: but the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in MichmashH4363. {present: Heb. found} {Gibeah: Heb. Geba}
And the spoilersH7843 came outH3318 of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 in threeH7969 companiesH7218: oneH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437 unto the wayH1870 that leadeth to OphrahH6084, unto the landH776 of ShualH7777:
And anotherH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437 the wayH1870 to BethhoronH1032: and anotherH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437 to the wayH1870 of the borderH1366 that lookethH8259 to the valleyH1516 of ZeboimH6650 toward the wildernessH4057.
Now there was no smithH2796 foundH4672 throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478: for the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559, Lest the HebrewsH5680 makeH6213 them swordsH2719 or spearsH2595:
But all the IsraelitesH3478 went downH3381 to the PhilistinesH6430, to sharpenH3913 every manH376 his shareH4282, and his coulterH855, and his axeH7134, and his mattockH4281.
Yet they had a fileH6477+H6310 for the mattocksH4281, and for the coultersH855, and for the forksH7969+H7053, and for the axesH7134, and to sharpenH5324 the goadsH1861. {a file: Heb. a file with mouths} {sharpen: Heb. to set}
So it came to pass in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, that there was neither swordH2719 nor spearH2595 foundH4672 in the handH3027 of any of the peopleH5971 that were with SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129: but with SaulH7586 and with JonathanH3129 his sonH1121 was there foundH4672.
And the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 went outH3318 to the passageH4569 of MichmashH4363. {garrison: or, standing camp}
And they continuedH3427 threeH7969 yearsH8141 without warH4421 between SyriaH758 and IsraelH3478.
And it came to pass in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, that JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 came downH3381 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478.
And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, KnowH3045 ye that RamothH7433 in GileadH1568 is ours, and we be stillH2814, and takeH3947 it not out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of SyriaH758? {still…: Heb. silent from taking it}
And he saidH559 unto JehoshaphatH3092, Wilt thou goH3212 with me to battleH4421 to RamothgileadH7433+H1568? And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559 to the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, I am as thouH3644 art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483.
Then AmaziahH558 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to JehoashH3060, the sonH1121 of JehoahazH3059 sonH1121 of JehuH3058, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ComeH3212, let us lookH7200 one another in the faceH6440.
AfterH310 all this, when JosiahH2977 had preparedH3559 the templeH1004, NechoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 to fightH3898 against CarchemishH3751 by EuphratesH6578: and JosiahH2977 went outH3318 againstH7125 him. {temple: Heb. house}
But he sentH7971 ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559, What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559 me to make hasteH926: forbearH2308 thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee not. {the house…: Heb. the house of my war}
Nevertheless JosiahH2977 would not turnH5437 his faceH6440 from him, but disguisedH2664 himself, that he might fightH3898 with him, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of NechoH5224 from the mouthH6310 of GodH430, and cameH935 to fightH3898 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddoH4023.
And the archersH3384 shotH3384 at kingH4428 JosiahH2977; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, Have me awayH5674; for I am soreH3966 woundedH2470. {wounded: Heb. made sick}
His servantsH5650 therefore tookH5674 him out of that chariotH4818, and putH7392 him in the secondH4932 chariotH7393 that he had; and they broughtH3212 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in one of the sepulchresH6913 of his fathersH1. And all JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 mournedH56 for JosiahH2977. {in one…: or, among the sepulchres}
