Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, RuleH4910 thou over us, both thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121 also: for thou hast deliveredH3467 us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I will not ruleH4910 over you, neither shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over you: the LORDH3068 shall ruleH4910 over you.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, The peopleH5971 that are with thee are too manyH7227 for me to giveH5414 the MidianitesH4080 into their handsH3027, lest IsraelH3478 vauntH6286 themselves against me, sayingH559, Mine own handH3027 hath savedH3467 me.
And it came to pass, when SamuelH8050 was oldH2204, that he madeH7760 his sonsH1121 judgesH8199 over IsraelH3478.
Now the nameH8034 of his firstbornH1121+H1060 was JoelH3100; and the nameH8034 of his secondH4932, AbiahH29: they were judgesH8199 in BeershebaH884.
And his sonsH1121 walkedH1980 not in his waysH1870, but turned asideH5186 afterH310 lucreH1215, and tookH3947 bribesH7810, and pervertedH5186 judgmentH4941.
Then all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6908, and cameH935 to SamuelH8050 unto RamahH7414,
And saidH559 unto him, Behold, thou art oldH2204, and thy sonsH1121 walkH1980 not in thy waysH1870: now makeH7760 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us like all the nationsH1471.
But the thingH1697 displeasedH3415+H5869 SamuelH8050, when they saidH559, GiveH5414 us a kingH4428 to judgeH8199 us. And SamuelH8050 prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068. {displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of}
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}
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.
