King James Version
And
Samuel taketh
the
vial of the
oil, and poureth
on
his head, and kisseth
him, and saith
, `
Is it not because Jehovah
hath appointed
thee over His inheritance for
leader
?
Then
Samuel took
a
vial of oil, and poured
it
upon
his head, and kissed
him, and said
, Is it not because the
LORD
hath anointed
thee to
be
captain
over his inheritance?
In
thy
going
to-day
from me --
then thou hast
found
two men by the
grave
of
Rachel,
in the border of Benjamin ,
at Zelzah ,
and they have
said
unto thee, The asses have
been
found
which thou hast
gone
to seek ;
and lo, thy father hath left the matter
of the asses, and hath
sorrowed
for you, saying, What do
I do for my son?
When
thou
art
departed
from me to
day,
then thou shalt
find
two men by Rachel's
sepulchre
in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah ;
and they will
say
unto thee, The asses which thou wentest
to seek are
found:
and ,
lo, thy father hath left the care
of the asses, and sorroweth
for you, saying, What shall
I do for my son?
`And
thou hast
passed
on thence, and beyond,
and
hast
come in
unto
the oak
of Tabor, and found
thee
there have
three men going up unto
God to Beth-El
, one bearing
three kids, and one
bearing
three cakes
of bread, and one
bearing
a bottle of wine ,
Then
shalt
thou go
on forward
from
thence, and thou
shalt
come to
the plain
of Tabor, and there shall
meet
thee
three men going up to
God to Bethel
, one carrying
three kids, and another
carrying
three loaves
of bread, and another
carrying
a bottle of wine :
and they have
asked
of
thee of
welfare
, and given
to
thee two loaves ,
and
thou hast
received
from
their hand
.
And they will
salute
thee, and give
thee two loaves of
bread;
which
thou shalt
receive
of
their hands
.
`Afterwards
thou dost
come unto
the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines `is',
and it cometh
to pass, at
thy
coming
in
thither to the city, that thou hast
met
a band
of prophets coming down from the high place ,
and
before
them
psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are
prophesying;
After
that
thou shalt
come to
the hill of God, where is
the garrison of the Philistines :
and it shall
come
to pass, when
thou
art
come
thither to the city, that thou shalt
meet
a company
of prophets coming down from the high place with
a
psaltery, and a
tabret, and a
pipe, and a
harp, before
them;
and they shall
prophesy:
and prospered
over
thee
hath
the Spirit of Jehovah
, and thou hast
prophesied
with them, and hast
been
turned to
another man ;
And the Spirit of the
LORD
will
come
upon
thee
, and thou shalt
prophesy
with them, and shalt
be
turned into
another man .
and it hath
been
, when these signs come to
thee --
do for
thyself
as thy
hand
findeth,
for God `
is '
with thee.
And let
it be
, when these signs are
come unto
thee ,
that
thou
do as occasion
serve
thee;
for God is with thee.
`
And thou hast
gone
down before me to Gilgal ,
and lo
, I am
going
down unto thee, to cause
to
ascend
burnt -
offerings, to sacrifice sacrifices of peace -
offerings ;
seven days thou dost
wait
till my
coming
in
unto
thee, and I
have
made
known
to
thee that
which
thou dost
do. '
And thou shalt
go
down before me to Gilgal ;
and, behold,
I will
come
down unto thee, to offer
burnt offerings, and
to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings :
seven days shalt
thou tarry,
till I
come
to
thee, and show
thee what
thou shalt
do.
And it hath
been
, at
his
turning
his shoulder
to go from Samuel, that
God turneth
to
him another heart ,
and all these
signs come
on
that day ,
And it was
so
, that
when
he
had
turned
his back
to go from Samuel, God gave
him another heart :
and all those
signs came
to
pass
that day .
and they come
in
thither to the height
, and
lo
, a band
of prophets --
to
meet
him ,
and prosper
over
him
doth
the Spirit of God, and he prophesieth
in
their
midst
.
And when
they came
thither to the hill
, behold
, a company
of prophets met
him ;
and the Spirit of God came
upon
him
, and he prophesied
among
them
.
And it cometh
to pass, all his
acquaintance
heretofore,
see
, and
lo
, with
prophets
he hath
prophesied, and
the people say
one unto
another, `
What `
is '
this hath
happened
to
the son of Kish? is Saul also among the prophets? '
And it came
to pass, when
all that
knew
him
beforetime
saw
that
, behold
, he prophesied among
the
prophets
, then
the people said
one to
another, What is this that
is
come
unto
the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
And a
man
thence
answereth
and saith
, `And
who `
is '
their father? '
therefore it hath
been
for
a simile
, `
Is Saul also among the prophets? '
And one
of
the
same
place
answered
and said
, But
who is their father? Therefore it became
a proverb
, Is Saul also among the prophets?
And he ceaseth
from
prophesying, and
cometh
in
to the high place ,
And when
he had
made
an
end
of
prophesying, he
came
to the high place .
and the
uncle of
Saul
saith
unto him ,
and unto
his young
man
, `
Whither went ye? '
and he saith
, `
To seek the asses ;
and we see
that they are
not
, and
we come
in
unto
Samuel. '
And Saul's
uncle said
unto him and to
his servant
, Whither went ye? And he said
, To seek the asses :
and when
we saw
that they were
no
where
, we came
to
Samuel.
And the
uncle of
Saul
saith
, `Declare
, I pray thee, to
me,
what Samuel said to
you ?'
And Saul's
uncle said
, Tell
me
, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto
you .
And Saul saith
unto his uncle, `
He certainly
declared
to
us that the asses were found ;'
and
of the matter of the kingdom he hath
not
declared
to
him that
which
Samuel
said
.
And Saul said
unto his uncle, He told
us plainly
that the asses were found .
But
of the matter of the kingdom ,
whereof
Samuel
spake,
he told
him not
.
And Samuel calleth
the people unto Jehovah
to Mizpeh ,
And Samuel called
the people together
unto the
LORD
to Mizpeh ;
and saith
unto the sons
of Israel, `
Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, I have
brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I
deliver
you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the
kingdoms who
are
oppressing
you ;
And said
unto the children
of Israel, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered
you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms ,
and
of
them
that
oppressed
you :
and ye to-day
have rejected your God, who `is'
Himself your
saviour
out of all your evils
and your distresses,
and ye say
, `
Nay, but --
a king thou
dost
set
over us ;
and
now ,
station
yourselves before Jehovah,
by your tribes, and by your thousands. '
And ye have this
day
rejected your God, who himself saved
you
out of all your adversities
and your tribulations;
and ye have
said
unto
him
, Nay, but set
a king over us .
Now therefore
present
yourselves before the
LORD
by your tribes, and by your thousands.
And Samuel bringeth
near
the whole
tribes of Israel, and
the tribe of Benjamin is
captured,
And when
Samuel had
caused
all
the tribes of Israel to
come
near
, the tribe of Benjamin was
taken.
and
he bringeth
near
the tribe of Benjamin by its
families, and
the family of Matri is
captured
, and Saul son of Kish is
captured,
and they seek
him, and
he hath
not been
found.
When
he had
caused
the tribe of Benjamin to
come
near
by their
families, the family of Matri was
taken
, and Saul the
son of Kish was
taken:
and when
they sought
him, he could
not be
found.
And
they ask
again
at
Jehovah
, `Hath
the man yet come hither?'
and Jehovah
saith,
`Lo
, he hath been
hidden
near
the vessels
. '
Therefore
they inquired
of
the
LORD
further
, if
the man should
yet come thither.
And the
LORD
answered
, Behold
he hath hid
himself
among
the stuff
.
And they run
and bring
him thence ,
and he stationed
himself
in
the
midst
of
the people, and
he is
higher than any of the people from his shoulder
and upward.
And they ran
and fetched
him thence :
and when
he stood
among
the people, he was
higher than any of the people from his shoulders
and upward.
And Samuel saith
unto
all the people, `Have
ye seen
him on
whom Jehovah
hath fixed
, for
there is none like him among all the people? '
And all the people shout
, and say
, `Let
the king live!'
And Samuel said
to
all the people, See
ye him whom the
LORD
hath chosen
, that
there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted
, and said
, God
save
the king .
And
Samuel speaketh
unto
the people the right
of the kingdom, and writeth
in a book, and placeth
before Jehovah;
and Samuel sendeth
all the people away, each
to his house.
Then
Samuel told
the people the manner
of the kingdom, and wrote
it
in a book, and laid
it
up
before the
LORD.
And Samuel sent
all the people away, every
man
to his house.
And also
Saul hath
gone
to
his
house,
to Gibeah ,
and the
force
go
with him whose heart
God hath
touched ;
And Saul also
went
home
to Gibeah ;
and there
went
with him a
band
of
men,
whose hearts
God had
touched .
and
the sons
of worthlessness
have
said, `What!
this one
doth
save us !'
and they despise
him, and have
not
brought to
him
a
present;
and
he is
as
one
deaf
.
But
the children
of Belial
said, How
shall
this man
save us ?
And they despised
him, and brought no
presents.
But
he held
his
peace
.
