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 Bechorath,
H1121
the son
H647
of Aphiah,
H1145
a Benjamite,
H1368
a mighty
H376
man
H2428
of power.
2
H1121
And he had a son,
H8034
whose name
H7586
was Saul,
H970
a choice young man,
H2896
and handsome:
H1121
and there was not among the sons
H3478
of Israel
H2896
a more handsome
H376
person
H7926
than he: from his shoulders
H4605
and upward
H1364
he was taller
H5971
than any of the people.
3
H860
And the donkeys
H7027
of Kish
H7586
Saul's
H1
father
H6 [H8799]
were lost.
H7027
And Kish
H559 [H8799]
said
H7586
to Saul
H1121
his son,
H3947 [H8798]
Take
H259
now one
H5288
of the servants
H6965 [H8798]
with thee, and arise,
H3212 [H8798]
go
H1245 [H8761]
seek
H860
the donkeys.
4
H5674 [H8799]
And he passed through
H2022
mount
H669
Ephraim,
H5674 [H8799]
and passed through
H776
the land
H8031
of Shalisha,
H4672 [H8804]
but they found
H5674 [H8799]
them not: then they passed through
H776
the land
H8171
of Shalim,
H5674 [H8799]
and there they were not: and he passed through
H776
the land
H1145
of the Benjamites,
H4672 [H8804]
but they found them not.
5
H935 [H8804]
And when they had come
H776
to the land
H6689
of Zuph,
H7586
Saul
H559 [H8804]
said
H5288
to his servant
H3212 [H8798]
that was with him, Come,
H7725 [H8799]
and let us return;
H1
lest my father
H2308 [H8799]
stop
H860
caring for the donkeys,
H1672 [H8804]
and be anxious for us.
6
H559 [H8799]
And he said
H5892
to him, Behold now, there is in this city
H376
a man
H430
of God,
H3513 [H8737]
and he is an honourable
H376
man;
H1696 [H8762]
all that he saith
H935 [H8799]
cometh
H935 [H8800]
surely to pass:
H3212 [H8799]
now let us go
H5046 [H8686]
there; perhaps he can show
H1870
us our way
H1980 [H8804]
that we should go.
7
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H7586
Saul
H5288
to his servant,
H3212 [H8799]
But, behold, if we go,
H935 [H8686]
what shall we bring
H376
to the man?
H3899
for the bread
H235 [H8804]
is spent
H3627
in our vessels,
H8670
and there is not a present
H935 [H8687]
to bring
H376
to the man
H430
of God: what have we?
8
H5288
And the servant
H6030 [H8800]
answered
H7586
Saul
H3254 [H8686]
again,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H4672 [H8738]
Behold, I have
H3027
here at hand
H7253
the fourth part
H8255
of a shekel
H3701
of silver:
H5414 [H8804]
that will I give
H376
to the man
H430
of God,
H5046 [H8689]
to tell
H1870
us our way.
9
H6440
(In times past
H3478
in Israel,
H376
when a man
H3212 [H8800]
went
H1875 [H8800]
to enquire
H430
of God,
H559 [H8804]
thus he spoke,
H3212 [H8798]
Come,
H3212 [H8799]
and let us go
H7200 [H8802]
to the seer:
H3117
for he that is now
H5030
called a Prophet
H6440
was in times past
H7121 [H8735]
called
H7200 [H8802]
a Seer.)
10
H1697
Then said
H7586
Saul
H5288
to his servant,
H2896
Well
H559 [H8799]
said;
H3212 [H8798]
come,
H3212 [H8799]
let us go.
H3212 [H8799]
So they went
H5892
to the city
H376
where the man
H430
of God was.
11
H5927 [H8802]
And as they went up
H4608
the hill
H5892
to the city,
H4672 [H8804]
they found
H5291
damsels
H3318 [H8802]
going out
H7579 [H8800]
to draw
H4325
water,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H3426
to them, Is
H7200 [H8802]
the seer here?
12
H6030 [H8799]
And they answered
H559 [H8799]
them, and said,
H3426
He is;
H6440
behold, he is at the face of
H4116 [H8761]
you: make haste
H935 [H8804]
now, for he came
H3117
to day
H5892
to the city;
H2077
for there is a sacrifice
H5971
of the people
H3117
to day
H1116
in the high place:
13
H935 [H8800]
As soon as ye shall enter
H5892
the city,
H3651
ye shall immediately
H4672 [H8799]
find
H5927 [H8799]
him, before he goeth up
H1116
to the high place
H398 [H8800]
to eat:
H5971
for the people
H398 [H8799]
will not eat
H935 [H8800]
until he cometh,
H1288 [H8762]
because he doth bless
H2077
the sacrifice;
H310 H3651
and afterwards
H398 [H8799]
they eat
H7121 [H8803]
that are invited.
H5927 [H8798]
Now therefore go up;
H3117
for about this time
H4672 [H8799]
ye shall find him.
14
H5927 [H8799]
And they went up
H8432
into
H5892
the city:
H935 [H8802]
and when they had come
H5892
into the city,
H8050
behold, Samuel
H3318 [H8802]
came out
H7125 [H8800]
meeting
H5927 [H8800]
them, to go up
H1116
to the high place.
15
H3068
Now the LORD
H1540 [H8804]
had told
H8050
Samuel
H241
in his ear
H259
a
H3117
day
H6440
at the face of
H7586
Saul
H935 [H8800]
came,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
16
H4279
To morrow
H6256
about this time
H7971 [H8799]
I will send
H376
thee a man
H776
out of the land
H1144
of Benjamin,
H4886 [H8804]
and thou shalt anoint
H5057
him to be captain
H5971
over my people
H3478
Israel,
H3467 [H8689]
that he may liberate
H5971
my people
H3027
from the hand
H6430
of the Philistines:
H7200 [H8804]
for I have looked
H5971
upon my people,
H6818
because their shriek
H935 [H8804]
hast come to me.
17
H8050
And when Samuel
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H7586
Saul,
H3068
the LORD
H6030 [H8804]
said
H376
to him, Behold the man
H559 [H8804]
of whom I spoke
H6113 [H8799]
to thee! this same shall reign
H5971
over my people.
18
H7586
Then Saul
H5066 [H8799]
drew near
H8050
to Samuel
H8432
in
H8179
the gate,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H5046 [H8685]
Tell
H335
me, I pray thee, where
H7200 [H8802]
the seer's
H1004
house is.
19
H8050
And Samuel
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H7586
Saul,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H7200 [H8802]
I am the seer:
H5927 [H8798]
go up
H6440
at the face of
H1116
me to the high place;
H398 [H8804]
for ye shall eat
H3117
with me to day,
H1242
and to morrow
H7971 [H8765]
I will let thee go,
H5046 [H8686]
and will tell
H3824
thee all that is in thy heart.
20
H860
And as for thy donkeys
H6 [H8802]
that were lost
H7969
three
H3117
days
H3117
ago,
H7760 [H8799]
set
H3820
not thine heart
H4672 [H8738]
on them; for they are found.
H2532
And on whom is all the desire
H3478
of Israel?
H1
Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's
H1004
house?
21
H7586
And Saul
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
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 [H8765]
why then speakest
H1697
thou so to me?
22
H8050
And Samuel
H3947 [H8799]
took
H7586
Saul
H5288
and his servant,
H935 [H8686]
and brought
H3957
them into the parlour,
H5414 [H8799]
and made them sit
H7218
in the chief
H4725
place
H7121 [H8803]
among them that were invited,
H7970
who were about thirty
H376
persons.
23
H8050
And Samuel
H559 [H8799]
said
H2876
to the cook,
H5414 [H8798]
Bring
H4490
the portion
H5414 [H8804]
which I gave
H559 [H8804]
thee, of which I said
H7760 [H8798]
to thee, Set it by thee.
24
H2876
And the cook
H7311 [H8686]
took up
H7785
the shoulder,
H7760 [H8799]
and that which was upon it, and set
H6440
it at the face of
H7586
Saul.
H559 [H8799]
And Samuel said,
H7604 [H8737]
Behold that which is left!
H7760 [H8798]
set
H6440
it at the face of
H398 [H8798]
thee, and eat:
H4150
for to this time
H8104 [H8803]
hath it been kept
H559 [H8800]
for thee since I said,
H7121 [H8804]
I have invited
H5971
the people.
H7586
So Saul
H398 [H8799]
ate
H8050
with Samuel
H3117
that day.
25
H3381 [H8799]
And when they had come down
H1116
from the high place
H5892
into the city,
H1696 [H8762]
Samuel talked
H7586
with Saul
H1406
upon the top of the house.
26
H7925 [H8686]
And they rose early:
H5927 [H8800]
and it came to pass about the dawn
H7837
of the day,
H8050
that Samuel
H7121 [H8799]
called
H7586
Saul
H1406
to the top of the house,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H6965 [H8798]
Arise,
H7971 [H8762]
that I may send thee away.
H7586
And Saul
H6965 [H8799]
arose,
H3318 [H8799]
and they went out
H8147
both
H8050
of them, he and Samuel,
H2351
abroad.
27
H3381 [H8802]
And as they were going down
H7097
to the end
H5892
of the city,
H8050
Samuel
H559 [H8804]
said
H7586
to Saul,
H559 [H8798]
Bid
H5288
the servant
H5674 [H8799]
pass on
H6440
at the face of
H5674 [H8798]
us, (and he passed on,
H5975 [H8798]
) but stand
H3117
thou still a while,
H8085 [H8686]
that I may show
H1697
thee the word
H430
of God.
