When GodH430 heardH8085 this, he was wrothH5674, and greatlyH3966 abhorredH3988 IsraelH3478:
So that he forsookH5203 the tabernacleH4908 of ShilohH7887, the tentH168 which he placedH7931 among menH120;
And deliveredH5414 his strengthH5797 into captivityH7628, and his gloryH8597 into the enemy'sH6862 handH3027.
He gaveH5462 his peopleH5971 overH5462 also unto the swordH2719; and was wrothH5674 with his inheritanceH5159.
The fireH784 consumedH398 their young menH970; and their maidensH1330 were not given to marriageH1984. {given…: Heb. praised}
Their priestsH3548 fellH5307 by the swordH2719; and their widowsH490 made no lamentationH1058.
And thisH1931 manH376 went upH5927 out of his cityH5892 yearlyH3117+H3117 to worshipH7812 and to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in ShilohH7887. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, were there. {yearly: Heb. from year to year}
Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were sonsH1121 of BelialH1100; they knewH3045 not the LORDH3068.
And the priests'H3548 customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, that, when any manH376 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, while the fleshH1320 was in seethingH1310, with a fleshhookH4207 of threeH7969 teethH8127 in his handH3027;
And he struckH5221 it into the panH3595, or kettleH1731, or caldronH7037, or potH6517; all that the fleshhookH4207 brought upH5927 the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. So they didH6213 in ShilohH7887 unto all the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 thither.
Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416.
And if any manH376 saidH559 unto him, Let them not failH6999 to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presentlyH3117, and then takeH3947 as much as thy soulH5315 desirethH183; then he would answerH559 him, Nay; but thou shalt giveH5414 it me now: and if not, I will takeH3947 it by forceH2394. {presently: Heb. as on the day}
Wherefore the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORDH3068.
Now EliH5941 was veryH3966 oldH2204, and heardH8085 all that his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto all IsraelH3478; and how they layH7901 with the womenH802 that assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {assembled: Heb. assembled by troops}
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
And the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 assembled togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, and set upH7931 the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150 there. And the landH776 was subduedH3533 beforeH6440 them.
And the menH582 aroseH6965, and went awayH3212: and JoshuaH3091 chargedH6680 them that wentH1980 to describeH3789 the landH776, sayingH559, GoH3212 and walkH1980 through the landH776, and describeH3789 it, and come againH7725 to me, that I may here castH7993 lotsH1486 for you beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887.
And they set them upH7760 Micah'sH4318 graven imageH6459, which he madeH6213, all the timeH3117 that the houseH1004 of GodH430 was in ShilohH7887.
And they foundH4672 among the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003+H1568 fourH702 hundredH3967 youngH5291 virginsH1330, that had knownH3045 no manH376 by lyingH4904 with any maleH2145: and they broughtH935 them unto the campH4264 to ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. {young…: Heb. young women virgins}
Then they saidH559, Behold, there is a feastH2282 of the LORDH3068 in ShilohH7887 yearlyH3117+H3117 in a place which is on the north sideH6828 of BethelH1008, on the east sideH4217+H8121 of the highwayH4546 that goeth upH5927 from BethelH1008 to ShechemH7927, and on the southH5045 of LebonahH3829. {yearly: Heb. from year to year} {on the east…: or, toward the sunrising} {of the highway: or, on the highway}
And thisH1931 manH376 went upH5927 out of his cityH5892 yearlyH3117+H3117 to worshipH7812 and to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in ShilohH7887. And the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, were there. {yearly: Heb. from year to year}
And he struckH5221 it into the panH3595, or kettleH1731, or caldronH7037, or potH6517; all that the fleshhookH4207 brought upH5927 the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. So they didH6213 in ShilohH7887 unto all the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 thither.
And when the peopleH5971 were comeH935 into the campH4264, the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 smittenH5062 us to dayH3117 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430? Let us fetchH3947 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of ShilohH7887 unto us, that, when it comethH935 amongH7130 us, it may saveH3467 us out of the handH3709 of our enemiesH341. {fetch: Heb. take unto us}
So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 to ShilohH7887, that they might bringH5375 from thence the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742: and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were there with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, into thy restH4496; thou, and the arkH727 of thy strengthH5797.
And the messengerH1319 answeredH6030 and saidH559, IsraelH3478 is fledH5127 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and there hath been also a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and thy twoH8147 sonsH1121 also, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191, and the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.
And she namedH7121 the childH5288 IchabodH350, sayingH559, The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from IsraelH3478: becauseH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947, and because of her father in lawH2524 and her husbandH376. {Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory}
And she saidH559, The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from IsraelH3478: for the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.
And the wordH1697 of SamuelH8050 came to all IsraelH3478. Now IsraelH3478 went outH3318 againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430 to battleH4421, and pitchedH2583 beside EbenezerH72: and the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583 in AphekH663. {came: or, came to pass: Hebr. was}
And the PhilistinesH6430 put themselves in arrayH6186 againstH7125 IsraelH3478: and when they joinedH5203 battleH4421, IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430: and they slewH5221 of the armyH4634 in the fieldH7704 about fourH702 thousandH505 menH376. {they joined…: Heb. the battle was spread} {army: Heb. array}
And when the peopleH5971 were comeH935 into the campH4264, the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 smittenH5062 us to dayH3117 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430? Let us fetchH3947 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of ShilohH7887 unto us, that, when it comethH935 amongH7130 us, it may saveH3467 us out of the handH3709 of our enemiesH341. {fetch: Heb. take unto us}
So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 to ShilohH7887, that they might bringH5375 from thence the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, which dwellethH3427 between the cherubimsH3742: and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were there with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
And when the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 into the campH4264, all IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, so that the earthH776 rang againH1949.
And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shoutH8643, they saidH559, What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the HebrewsH5680? And they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was comeH935 into the campH4264.
And the PhilistinesH6430 were afraidH3372, for they saidH559, GodH430 is comeH935 into the campH4264. And they saidH559, WoeH188 unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretoforeH865+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day}
WoeH188 unto us! who shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of these mightyH117 GodsH430? these are the GodsH430 that smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with all the plaguesH4347 in the wildernessH4057.
Be strongH2388, and quitH1961 yourselves like menH582, O ye PhilistinesH6430, that ye be not servantsH5647 unto the HebrewsH5680, as they have beenH5647 to you: quitH1961 yourselves like menH582, and fightH3898. {quit…: Heb. be men}
And the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898, and IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062, and they fledH5127 every manH376 into his tentH168: and there was a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347; for there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footmenH7273.
And the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were slainH4191. {were slain: Heb. died}
And there ranH7323 a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 out of the armyH4634, and cameH935 to ShilohH7887 the same dayH3117 with his clothesH4055 rentH7167, and with earthH127 upon his headH7218.
And when he cameH935, lo, EliH5941 satH3427 upon a seatH3678 by the waysideH1870+H3027+H3197 watchingH6822: for his heartH3820 trembledH2730 for the arkH727 of GodH430. And when the manH376 cameH935 into the cityH5892, and toldH5046 it, all the cityH5892 cried outH2199.
And when EliH5941 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the cryingH6818, he saidH559, What meaneth the noiseH6963 of this tumultH1995? And the manH376 cameH935 in hastilyH4116, and toldH5046 EliH5941.
Now EliH5941 was ninetyH8673 and eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121; and his eyesH5869 were dimH6965, that he couldH3201 not seeH7200. {were dim: Heb. stood}
And the manH376 saidH559 unto EliH5941, I am he that cameH935 out of the armyH4634, and I fledH5127 to dayH3117 out of the armyH4634. And he saidH559, What is there doneH1697, my sonH1121? {is…: Heb. is the thing}
And the messengerH1319 answeredH6030 and saidH559, IsraelH3478 is fledH5127 beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and there hath been also a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the peopleH5971, and thy twoH8147 sonsH1121 also, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, are deadH4191, and the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.
And it came to pass, when he made mentionH2142 of the arkH727 of GodH430, that he fellH5307 from off the seatH3678 backwardH322 byH1157 the sideH3027 of the gateH8179, and his neckH4665 brakeH7665, and he diedH4191: for he was an oldH2204 manH376, and heavyH3513. And he had judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 yearsH8141.
And his daughter in lawH3618, Phinehas'H6372 wifeH802, was with childH2030, near to be deliveredH3205: and when she heardH8085 the tidingsH8052 thatH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947, and that her father in lawH2524 and her husbandH376 were deadH4191, she bowedH3766 herself and travailedH3205; for her painsH6735 cameH2015 upon her. {be delivered: or, cry out} {came: Heb. were turned}
And about the timeH6256 of her deathH4191 the women that stoodH5324 by her saidH1696 unto her, FearH3372 not; for thou hast bornH3205 a sonH1121. But she answeredH6030 not, neither did she regardH7896+H3820 it. {neither…: Heb. set not her heart}
And she namedH7121 the childH5288 IchabodH350, sayingH559, The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from IsraelH3478: becauseH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947, and because of her father in lawH2524 and her husbandH376. {Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory}
And she saidH559, The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from IsraelH3478: for the arkH727 of GodH430 is takenH3947.
And HannahH2584 prayedH6419, and saidH559, My heartH3820 rejoicethH5970 in the LORDH3068, mine hornH7161 is exaltedH7311 in the LORDH3068: my mouthH6310 is enlargedH7337 over mine enemiesH341; because I rejoiceH8055 in thy salvationH3444.
There is none holyH6918 as the LORDH3068: for there is none besideH1115 thee: neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.
TalkH1696 no moreH7235 so exceedingH1364 proudlyH1364; let not arrogancyH6277 comeH3318 out of your mouthH6310: for the LORDH3068 is a GodH410 of knowledgeH1844, and by him actionsH5949 are weighedH8505. {arrogancy: Heb. hard}
The bowsH7198 of the mighty menH1368 are brokenH2844, and they that stumbledH3782 are girdedH247 with strengthH2428.
They that were fullH7649 have hired outH7936 themselves for breadH3899; and they that were hungryH7457 ceasedH2308: so that the barrenH6135 hath bornH3205 sevenH7651; and she that hath manyH7227 childrenH1121 is waxed feebleH535.
The LORDH3068 killethH4191, and maketh aliveH2421: he bringeth downH3381 to the graveH7585, and bringeth upH5927.
The LORDH3068 maketh poorH3423, and maketh richH6238: he bringeth lowH8213, andH637 lifteth upH7311.
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and lifteth upH7311 the beggarH34 from the dunghillH830, to setH3427 them among princesH5081, and to make them inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519: for the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the LORD'SH3068, and he hath setH7896 the worldH8398 upon them.
He will keepH8104 the feetH7272 of his saintsH2623, and the wickedH7563 shall be silentH1826 in darknessH2822; for by strengthH3581 shall no manH376 prevailH1396.
The adversariesH7378 of the LORDH3068 shall be broken to piecesH2865; out of heavenH8064 shall he thunderH7481 upon them: the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 the endsH657 of the earthH776; and he shall giveH5414 strengthH5797 unto his kingH4428, and exaltH7311 the hornH7161 of his anointedH4899.
And ElkanahH511 wentH3212 to RamahH7414 to his houseH1004. And the childH5288 didH1961 ministerH8334 unto the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 EliH5941 the priestH3548.
Now the sonsH1121 of EliH5941 were sonsH1121 of BelialH1100; they knewH3045 not the LORDH3068.
And the priests'H3548 customH4941 with the peopleH5971 was, that, when any manH376 offeredH2076 sacrificeH2077, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, while the fleshH1320 was in seethingH1310, with a fleshhookH4207 of threeH7969 teethH8127 in his handH3027;
And he struckH5221 it into the panH3595, or kettleH1731, or caldronH7037, or potH6517; all that the fleshhookH4207 brought upH5927 the priestH3548 tookH3947 for himself. So they didH6213 in ShilohH7887 unto all the IsraelitesH3478 that cameH935 thither.
Also before they burntH6999 the fatH2459, the priest'sH3548 servantH5288 cameH935, and saidH559 to the manH376 that sacrificedH2076, GiveH5414 fleshH1320 to roastH6740 for the priestH3548; for he will not haveH3947 soddenH1310 fleshH1320 of thee, but rawH2416.
And if any manH376 saidH559 unto him, Let them not failH6999 to burnH6999 the fatH2459 presentlyH3117, and then takeH3947 as much as thy soulH5315 desirethH183; then he would answerH559 him, Nay; but thou shalt giveH5414 it me now: and if not, I will takeH3947 it by forceH2394. {presently: Heb. as on the day}
Wherefore the sinH2403 of the young menH5288 was veryH3966 greatH1419 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: for menH582 abhorredH5006 the offeringH4503 of the LORDH3068.
But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.
Moreover his motherH517 madeH6213 him a littleH6996 coatH4598, and broughtH5927 it to him from yearH3117 to yearH3117, when she came upH5927 with her husbandH376 to offerH2076 the yearlyH3117 sacrificeH2077.
And EliH5941 blessedH1288 ElkanahH511 and his wifeH802, and saidH559, The LORDH3068 giveH7760 thee seedH2233 of this womanH802 for the loanH7596 which is lentH7592 to the LORDH3068. And they wentH1980 unto their own homeH4725. {loan…: or, petition which she asked, etc}
AndH3588 the LORDH3068 visitedH6485 HannahH2584, so that she conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 threeH7969 sonsH1121 and twoH8147 daughtersH1323. And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1431 beforeH5973 the LORDH3068.
Now EliH5941 was veryH3966 oldH2204, and heardH8085 all that his sonsH1121 didH6213 unto all IsraelH3478; and how they layH7901 with the womenH802 that assembledH6633 at the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {assembled: Heb. assembled by troops}
And he saidH559 unto them, Why doH6213 ye such thingsH1697? for I hearH8085 of your evilH7451 dealingsH1697 by all this peopleH5971. {of your…: or, evil words of you}
Nay, my sonsH1121; for it is no goodH2896 reportH8052 that I hearH8085: ye make the LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971 to transgressH5674. {transgress: or, cry out}
If one manH376 sinH2398 against anotherH376, the judgeH430 shall judgeH6419 him: but if a manH376 sinH2398 against the LORDH3068, who shall intreatH6419 for him? Notwithstanding they hearkenedH8085 not unto the voiceH6963 of their fatherH1, because the LORDH3068 wouldH2654 slayH4191 them.
And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1432 onH1980, and was in favourH2896 both with the LORDH3068, and also with menH582.
And there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 unto EliH5941, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Did I plainlyH1540 appearH1540 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, when they were in EgyptH4714 in Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004?
And did I chooseH977 him out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to be my priestH3548, to offerH5927 upon mine altarH4196, to burnH6999 incenseH7004, to wearH5375 an ephodH646 beforeH6440 me? and did I giveH5414 unto the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1 all the offerings made by fireH801 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478?
Wherefore kickH1163 ye at my sacrificeH2077 and at mine offeringH4503, which I have commandedH6680 in my habitationH4583; and honourestH3513 thy sonsH1121 above me, to make yourselves fatH1254 with the chiefestH7225 of all the offeringsH4503 of IsraelH3478 my peopleH5971?
Wherefore the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saithH5002, I saidH559 indeedH559 that thy houseH1004, and the houseH1004 of thy fatherH1, should walkH1980 beforeH6440 me forH5704 everH5769: but now the LORDH3068 saithH5002, Be it far from meH2486; for them that honourH3513 me I will honourH3513, and they that despiseH959 me shall be lightly esteemedH7043.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, that I will cut offH1438 thine armH2220, and the armH2220 of thy father'sH1 houseH1004, that there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004.
And thou shalt seeH5027 an enemyH6862 in my habitationH4583, in all the wealth which God shall giveH3190 IsraelH3478: and there shall not be an old manH2205 in thine houseH1004 for everH3117. {an enemy…: or, the affliction of the tabernacle, for all the wealth which God would have given Israel}
And the manH376 of thine, whom I shall not cut offH3772 from mine altarH4196, shall be to consumeH3615 thine eyesH5869, and to grieveH109 thine heartH5315: and all the increaseH4768 of thine houseH1004 shall dieH4191 in the flower of their ageH582. {in the flower…: Heb. men}
And this shall be a signH226 unto thee, that shall comeH935 upon thy twoH8147 sonsH1121, on HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372; in oneH259 dayH3117 they shall dieH4191 bothH8147 of them.
And I will raise me upH6965 a faithfulH539 priestH3548, that shall doH6213 according to that which is in mine heartH3824 and in my mindH5315: and I will buildH1129 him a sureH539 houseH1004; and he shall walkH1980 beforeH6440 mine anointedH4899 for everH3117.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 in thine houseH1004 shall comeH935 and crouchH7812 to him for a pieceH95 of silverH3701 and a morselH3603 of breadH3899, and shall sayH559, PutH5596 me, I pray thee, into oneH259 of the priests' officesH3550, that I may eatH398 a pieceH6595 of breadH3899. {Put: Heb. Join} {one of…: or, somewhat about the priesthood}
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}
And the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947; and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of EliH5941, HophniH2652 and PhinehasH6372, were slainH4191. {were slain: Heb. died}
Those that remainH8300 of him shall be buriedH6912 in deathH4194: and his widowsH490 shall not weepH1058.
And she namedH7121 the childH5288 IchabodH350, sayingH559, The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from IsraelH3478: becauseH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was takenH3947, and because of her father in lawH2524 and her husbandH376. {Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory}
