1 H8050 Then Samuel H3947 took [H8799] H6378 a vial H8081 of oil H3332 , and poured [H8799] H7218 it upon his head H5401 , and kissed [H8799] H559 him, and said [H8799] H3068 , Is it not because the LORD H4886 hath anointed [H8804] H5057 thee to be captain H5159 over his inheritance?

2 H3212 When thou art departed [H8800] H5978 from me H3117 to day H4672 , then thou shalt find [H8804] H8147 two H582 men H7354 by Rachel's H6900 sepulchre H1366 in the border H1144 of Benjamin H6766 at Zelzah H559 ; and they will say [H8804] H860 unto thee, The asses H1980 which thou wentest [H8804] H1245 to seek [H8763] H4672 are found [H8738] H1 : and, lo, thy father H5203 hath left [H8804] H1697 the care H860 of the asses H1672 , and sorroweth [H8804] H559 for you, saying [H8800] H6213 , What shall I do [H8799] H1121 for my son?

3 H2498 Then shalt thou go on [H8804] H1973 forward H935 from thence, and thou shalt come [H8804] H436 to the plain H8396 of Tabor H4672 , and there shall meet [H8804] H7969 thee three H582 men H5927 going up [H8802] H430 to God H1008 to Bethel H259 , one H5375 carrying [H8802] H7969 three H1423 kids H259 , and another H5375 carrying [H8802] H7969 three H3603 loaves H3899 of bread H259 , and another H5375 carrying [H8802] H5035 a bottle H3196 of wine:

4 H7592 And they will [H8804] H7965 salute H5414 thee, and give [H8804] H8147 thee two H3899 loaves of bread H3947 ; which thou shalt receive [H8804] H3027 of their hands.

5 H310 After H935 that thou shalt come [H8799] H1389 to the hill H430 of God H5333 , where is the garrison H6430 of the Philistines H935 : and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither [H8800] H5892 to the city H6293 , that thou shalt meet [H8804] H2256 a company H5030 of prophets H3381 coming down [H8802] H1116 from the high place H5035 with a psaltery H8596 , and a tabret H2485 , and a pipe H3658 , and a harp H6440 , before H5012 them; and they shall prophesy [H8693] :

6 H7307 And the Spirit H3068 of the LORD H6743 will come [H8804] H5012 upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy [H8694] H2015 with them, and shalt be turned [H8738] H312 into another H376 man.

7 H226 And let it be, when these signs H935 are come [H8799] H6213 unto thee, that thou do [H8798] H4672 as occasion [H8799] H3027 serve H430 thee; for God is with thee.

8 H3381 And thou shalt go down [H8804] H6440 before H1537 me to Gilgal H3381 ; and, behold, I will come down [H8802] H5927 unto thee, to offer [H8687] H5930 burnt offerings H2076 , and to sacrifice [H8800] H2077 sacrifices H8002 of peace offerings H7651 : seven H3117 days H3176 shalt thou tarry [H8686] H935 , till I come [H8800] H3045 to thee, and shew [H8689] H6213 thee what thou shalt do [H8799] .

9 H6437 And it was so, that when he had turned [H8687] H7926 his back H3212 to go [H8800] H8050 from Samuel H430 , God H2015 gave [H8799] H312 him another H3820 heart H226 : and all those signs H935 came [H8799] H3117 to pass that day.

10 H935 And when they came [H8799] H1389 thither to the hill H2256 , behold, a company H5030 of prophets H7125 met [H8800] H7307 him; and the Spirit H430 of God H6743 came [H8799] H5012 upon him, and he prophesied [H8691] H8432 among them.

11 H3045 And it came to pass, when all that knew [H8802] H865 him beforetime H8032 H7200 saw [H8799] H5012 that, behold, he prophesied [H8738] H5030 among the prophets H5971 , then the people H559 said [H8799] H376 one H7453 to another H1121 , What is this that is come unto the son H7027 of Kish H7586 ? Is Saul H5030 also among the prophets?

12 H376 And one H6030 of the same place answered [H8799] H559 and said [H8799] H1 , But who is their father H4912 ? Therefore it became a proverb H7586 , Is Saul H5030 also among the prophets?

13 H3615 And when he had made an end [H8762] H5012 of prophesying [H8692] H935 , he came [H8799] H1116 to the high place.

14 H7586 And Saul's H1730 uncle H559 said [H8799] H5288 unto him and to his servant H575 , Whither H1980 went [H8804] H559 ye? And he said [H8799] H1245 , To seek [H8763] H860 the asses H7200 : and when we saw [H8799] H369 that they were no where H935 , we came [H8799] H8050 to Samuel.

15 H7586 And Saul's H1730 uncle H559 said [H8799] H5046 , Tell [H8685] H8050 me, I pray thee, what Samuel H559 said [H8804] unto you.

16 H7586 And Saul H559 said [H8799] H1730 unto his uncle H5046 , He told [H8689] H5046 us plainly [H8687] H860 that the asses H4672 were found [H8738] H1697 . But of the matter H4410 of the kingdom H8050 , whereof Samuel H559 spake [H8804] H5046 , he told [H8689] him not.

17 H8050 And Samuel H6817 called [H8686] H5971 the people H3068 together unto the LORD H4709 to Mizpeh;

18 H559 And said [H8799] H1121 unto the children H3478 of Israel H559 , Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H5927 , I brought up [H8689] H3478 Israel H4714 out of Egypt H5337 , and delivered [H8686] H3027 you out of the hand H4714 of the Egyptians H3027 , and out of the hand H4467 of all kingdoms H3905 , and of them that oppressed [H8801] you:

19 H3117 And ye have this day H3988 rejected [H8804] H430 your God H3467 , who himself saved [H8688] H7451 you out of all your adversities H6869 and your tribulations H559 ; and ye have said [H8799] H7760 unto him, Nay, but set [H8799] H4428 a king H3320 over us. Now therefore present [H8690] H6440 yourselves before H3068 the LORD H7626 by your tribes H505 , and by your thousands.

20 H8050 And when Samuel H7626 had caused all the tribes H3478 of Israel H7126 to come near [H8686] H7626 , the tribe H1144 of Benjamin H3920 was taken [H8735] .

21 H7626 When he had caused the tribe H1144 of Benjamin H7126 to come near [H8686] H4940 by their families H4940 , the family H4309 of Matri H3920 was taken [H8735] H7586 , and Saul H1121 the son H7027 of Kish H3920 was taken [H8735] H1245 : and when they sought [H8762] H4672 him, he could not be found [H8738] .

22 H7592 Therefore they enquired [H8799] H3068 of the LORD H376 further, if the man H935 should yet come [H8804] H1988 thither H3068 . And the LORD H559 answered [H8799] H2244 , Behold, he hath hid [H8737] H3627 himself among the stuff.

23 H7323 And they ran [H8799] H3947 and fetched [H8799] H3320 him thence: and when he stood [H8691] H8432 among H5971 the people H1361 , he was higher [H8799] H5971 than any of the people H7926 from his shoulders H4605 and upward.

24 H8050 And Samuel H559 said [H8799] H5971 to all the people H7200 , See [H8804] H3068 ye him whom the LORD H977 hath chosen [H8804] H5971 , that there is none like him among all the people H5971 ? And all the people H7321 shouted [H8686] H559 , and said [H8799] H2421 , God save [H8799] H4428 the king.

25 H8050 Then Samuel H1696 told [H8762] H5971 the people H4941 the manner H4410 of the kingdom H3789 , and wrote [H8799] H5612 it in a book H3240 , and laid it up [H8686] H6440 before H3068 the LORD H8050 . And Samuel H7971 sent H5971 all the people H7971 away [H8762] H376 , every man H1004 to his house.

26 H7586 And Saul H1980 also went [H8804] H1004 home H1390 to Gibeah H3212 ; and there went [H8799] H2428 with him a band of men H3820 , whose hearts H430 God H5060 had touched [H8804] .

27 H1121 But the children H1100 of Belial H559 said [H8804] H3467 , How shall this man save [H8686] H959 us? And they despised [H8799] H935 him, and brought [H8689] H4503 him no presents H2790 . But he held his peace [H8688] .
