1 Samuel 9

ASV_Strongs(i)
  1 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.
  27 H3381 As they were going down H7097 at the end H5892 of the city, H8050 Samuel H559 said H7586 to Saul, H559 Bid H5288 the servant H5674 pass on H6440 before H5674 us (and he passed on), H5975 but stand H3117 thou still first, H8085 that I may cause thee to hear H1697 the word H430 of God.
