H376
Now there was a man
H1144
of Benjamin,
H8034
whose name
H7027
was Kish,
H1121
the son
H22
of Abiel,
H1121
the son
H6872
of Zeror,
H1121
the son
H1064
of Becorath,
H1121
the son
H647
of Aphiah,
H1145
the son of a Benjamite,
H1368
a mighty
H376
man
H2428
of valor.
2
H1121
And he had a son,
H8034
whose name
H7586
was Saul,
H970
a young man
H2896
and a goodly:
H1121
and there was not among the children
H3478
of Israel
H2896
a goodlier
H376
person
H7926
than he: from his shoulders
H4605
and upward
H1364
he was higher
H5971
than any of the people.
3
H860
And the asses
H7027
of Kish,
H7586
Saul's
H1
father,
H6
were lost.
H7027
And Kish
H559
said
H7586
to Saul
H1121
his son,
H3947
Take
H259
now one
H5288
of the servants
H6965
with thee, and arise,
H3212
go
H1245
seek
H860
the asses.
4
H5674
And he passed through
H2022
the hill-country
H669
of Ephraim,
H5674
and passed through
H776
the land
H8031
of Shalishah,
H4672
but they found
H5674
them not: then they passed through
H776
the land
H8171
of Shaalim,
H5674
and there they were not: and he passed through
H776
the land
H1145
of the Benjamites,
H4672
but they found them not.
5
H935
When they were come
H776
to the land
H6689
of Zuph,
H7586
Saul
H559
said
H5288
to his servant
H3212
that was with him, Come,
H7725
and let us return,
H1
lest my father
H2308
leave
H860
off caring for the asses,
H1672
and be anxious for us.
6
H559
And he said
H5892
unto him, Behold now, there is in this city
H376
a man
H430
of God,
H376
and he is a man
H3513
that is held in honor;
H1696
all that he saith
H935
cometh
H935
surely to pass:
H3212
now let us go
H5046
thither; peradventure he can tell
H1870
us concerning our journey
H1980
whereon we go.
7
H559
Then said
H7586
Saul
H5288
to his servant,
H3212
But, behold, if we go,
H935
what shall we bring
H376
the man?
H3899
for the bread
H235
is spent
H3627
in our vessels,
H8670
and there is not a present
H935
to bring
H376
to the man
H430
of God: what have we?
8
H5288
And the servant
H6030
answered
H7586
Saul
H3254
again,
H559
and said,
H4672
Behold, I have
H3027
in my hand
H7253
the fourth part
H8255
of a shekel
H3701
of silver:
H5414
that will I give
H376
to the man
H430
of God,
H5046
to tell
H1870
us our way.
9
H6440
(Beforetime
H3478
in Israel,
H376
when a man
H3212
went
H1875
to inquire
H430
of God,
H559
thus he said,
H3212
Come,
H3212
and let us go
H7200
to the seer;
H3117
for he that is now
H5030
called a Prophet
H6440
was beforetime
H7121
called
H7200
a Seer.)
10
H1697
Then said
H7586
Saul
H5288
to his servant,
H2896
Well
H559
said;
H3212
come,
H3212
let us go.
H3212
So they went
H5892
unto the city
H376
where the man
H430
of God was.
11
H5927
As they went up
H5927
the ascent
H5892
to the city,
H4672
they found
H5291
young maidens
H3318
going out
H7579
to draw
H4325
water,
H559
and said
H3426
unto them, Is
H7200
the seer here?
12
H6030
And they answered
H559
them, and said,
H3426
He is;
H6440
behold, he is before
H4116
thee: make haste
H935
now, for he is come
H3117
to-day
H5892
into the city;
H5971
for the people
H2077
have a sacrifice
H3117
to-day
H1116
in the high place:
13
H935
as soon as ye are come
H5892
into the city,
H3651
ye shall straightway
H4672
find
H5927
him, before he goeth up
H1116
to the high place
H398
to eat;
H5971
for the people
H398
will not eat
H935
until he come,
H1288
because he doth bless
H2077
the sacrifice;
H310
and afterwards
H398
they eat
H7121
that are bidden.
H5927
Now therefore get you up;
H3117
for at this time
H4672
ye shall find him.
14
H5927
And they went up
H7125
to
H5892
the city;
H935
and as they came
H5892
within the city,
H8050
behold, Samuel
H3318
came out
H7125
toward
H5927
them, to go up
H1116
to the high place.
15
H3068
Now Jehovah
H1540
had revealed
H241
unto
H8050
Samuel
H259
a
H3117
day
H6440
before
H7586
Saul
H935
came,
H559
saying,
16
H4279
To-morrow
H6256
about this time
H7971
I will send
H376
thee a man
H776
out of the land
H1144
of Benjamin,
H4886
and thou shalt anoint
H5057
him to be prince
H5971
over my people
H3478
Israel;
H3467
and he shall save
H5971
my people
H3027
out of the hand
H6430
of the Philistines:
H7200
for I have looked
H5971
upon my people,
H6818
because their cry
H935
is come unto me.
17
H8050
And when Samuel
H7200
saw
H7586
Saul,
H3068
Jehovah
H6030
said
H376
unto him, Behold, the man
H559
of whom I spake
H6113
to thee! this same shall have authority
H5971
over my people.
18
H7586
Then Saul
H5066
drew near
H8050
to Samuel
H8432
in
H8179
the gate,
H559
and said,
H5046
Tell
H335
me, I pray thee, where
H7200
the seer's
H1004
house is.
19
H8050
And Samuel
H6030
answered
H7586
Saul,
H559
and said,
H7200
I am the seer;
H5927
go up
H6440
before
H1116
me unto the high place,
H398
for ye shall eat
H3117
with me to-day:
H1242
and in the morning
H7971
I will let thee go,
H5046
and will tell
H3824
thee all that is in thy heart.
20
H860
And as for thine asses
H6
that were lost
H7969
three
H3117
days
H3117
ago,
H7760
set
H3820
not they mind
H4672
on them; for they are found.
H2532
And for whom is all that is desirable
H3478
in Israel?
H1
Is it not for thee, and for all thy father's
H1004
house?
21
H7586
And Saul
H6030
answered
H559
and said,
H1145
Am not I a Benjamite,
H6996
of the smallest
H7626
of the tribes
H3478
of Israel?
H4940
and my family
H6810
the least
H4940
of all the families
H7626
of the tribe
H1144
of Benjamin?
H1696
wherefore then speakest
H1697
thou to me after this manner?
22
H8050
And Samuel
H3947
took
H7586
Saul
H5288
and his servant,
H935
and brought
H3957
them into the guest-chamber,
H5414
and made them sit
H7218
in the chiefest
H4725
place
H7121
among them that were bidden,
H7970
who were about thirty
H376
persons.
23
H8050
And Samuel
H559
said
H2876
unto the cook,
H5414
Bring
H4490
the portion
H5414
which I gave
H559
thee, of which I said
H7760
unto thee, Set it by thee.
24
H2876
And the cook
H7311
took up
H7785
the thigh,
H7760
and that which was upon it, and set
H6440
it before
H7586
Saul.
H559
And Samuel said,
H7604
Behold, that which hath been reserved!
H7760
set
H6440
it before
H398
thee and eat;
H4150
because unto the appointed time
H8104
hath it been kept
H559
for thee, for I said,
H7121
I have invited
H5971
the people.
H7586
So Saul
H398
did eat
H8050
with Samuel
H3117
that day.
25
H3381
And when they were come down
H1116
from the high place
H5892
into the city,
H1696
he communed
H7586
with Saul
H1406
upon the housetop.
26
H7925
And they arose early:
H5927
and it came to pass about the spring
H7837
of the day,
H8050
that Samuel
H7121
called
H7586
to Saul
H1406
on the housetop,
H559
saying,
H6965
Up,
H7971
that I may send thee away.
H7586
And Saul
H6965
arose,
H3318
and they went out
H8147
both
H8050
of them, he and Samuel,
H2351
abroad.
