1 Samuel 10

1 Samuel anointeth Saul. 2 He confirmeth him by prediction of three signs. 9 Saul's heart is changed, and he prophesieth. 14 He concealeth the matter of the kingdom from his uncle. 17 Saul is chosen at Mizpeh by lot. 26 The different affections of his subjects.

 10:1 ¶ Then Samuel 8050 took 3947 z8799 x853 a vial 6378 of oil, 8081 and poured 3332 z8799 [it] upon x5921 his head, 7218 and kissed 5401 z8799 him, and said, 559 z8799 [Is it] not x3808 because x3588 the LORD 3068 hath anointed 4886 z8804 thee [to be] captain 5057 over x5921 his inheritance? 5159

 10:2 When thou art departed y3212 z8800 x1980 from x4480 x5973 me y5978 today, 3117 then thou shalt find 4672 z8804 two 8147 men y582 x376 by x5973 Rachel's 7354 sepulcher 6900 in the border 1366 of Benjamin 1144 at Zelzah; 6766 and they will say 559 z8804 unto x413 thee, The asses 860 which x834 thou wentest 1980 z8804 to seek 1245 z8763 are found: 4672 z8738 and, lo, x2009 thy father 1 hath left 5203 z8804 x853 the care 1697 of the asses, 860 and sorroweth 1672 z8804 for you, saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 shall I do 6213 z8799 for my son? 1121

 10:3 Then shalt thou go on 2498 z8804 forward 1973 from thence, x4480 x8033 and thou shalt come 935 z8804 to x5704 the plain 436 of Tabor, 8396 and there x8033 shall meet 4672 z8804 thee three 7969 men y582 x376 going up 5927 z8802 to x413 God 430 to Bethel, 1008 one 259 carrying 5375 z8802 three 7969 kids, 1423 and another 259 carrying 5375 z8802 three 7969 loaves 3603 of bread, 3899 and another 259 carrying 5375 z8802 a bottle 5035 of wine: 3196

 10:4 And they will y7592 z8804 salute 7965 x7592 thee, and give 5414 z8804 thee two 8147 [loaves] of bread; 3899 which thou shalt receive 3947 z8804 of their hands. 3027 x4480

 10:5 After y310 that x310 x3651 thou shalt come 935 z8799 to the hill 1389 of God, 430 where x834 x8033 [is] the garrison 5333 of the Philistines: 6430 and it shall come to pass, x1961 when thou art come x935 thither y935 z8800 x8033 to the city, 5892 that thou shalt meet 6293 z8804 a company 2256 of prophets 5030 coming down 3381 z8802 from the high place 1116 x4480 with a psaltery, 5035 and a tabret, 8596 and a pipe, 2485 and a harp, 3658 before 6440 them; and they x1992 shall prophesy: 5012 z8693

 10:6 And the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 will come 6743 z8804 upon x5921 thee, and thou shalt prophesy 5012 z8694 with them, x5973 and shalt be turned 2015 z8738 into another 312 man. 376

 10:7 And let it be, x1961 when x3588 these x428 signs 226 are come 935 z8799 unto thee, [that] thou do 6213 z8798 as occasion y4672 z8799 serve 3027 x834 x4672 thee; for x3588 God 430 [is] with x5973 thee.

 10:8 And thou shalt go down 3381 z8804 before 6440 me to Gilgal; 1537 and, behold, x2009 I x595 will come down 3381 z8802 unto x413 thee, to offer 5927 z8687 burnt offerings, 5930 [and] to sacrifice 2076 z8800 sacrifices 2077 of peace offerings: 8002 seven 7651 days 3117 shalt thou tarry, 3176 z8686 till x5704 I come 935 z8800 to x413 thee, and show 3045 z8689 thee x853 what x834 thou shalt do. 6213 z8799

 10:9 ¶ And it was x1961 [so], that when he had turned 6437 z8687 his back 7926 to go y3212 z8800 x1980 from x4480 x5973 Samuel, 8050 God 430 gave 2015 z8799 him another 312 heart: 3820 and all x3605 those x428 signs 226 came y935 z8799 to pass x935 that x1931 day. 3117

 10:10 And when they came 935 z8799 thither x8033 to the hill, 1389 behold, x2009 a company 2256 of prophets 5030 met 7125 z8800 him; and the Spirit 7307 of God 430 came 6743 z8799 upon x5921 him, and he prophesied 5012 z8691 among 8432 them.

 10:11 And it came to pass, x1961 when all x3605 that knew 3045 z8802 him formerly 865 8032 x4480 saw 7200 z8799 that, behold, x2009 he prophesied 5012 z8738 among x5973 the prophets, 5030 then the people 5971 said 559 z8799 one 376 to x413 another, 7453 What x4100 [is] this x2088 [that] is come x1961 unto the son 1121 of Kish? 7027 [Is] Saul 7586 also x1571 among the prophets? 5030

 10:12 And one 376 of the same place x4480 x8033 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 But who x4310 [is] their father? 1 Therefore x5921 x3651 it became x1961 a proverb, 4912 [Is] Saul 7586 also x1571 among the prophets? 5030

 10:13 And when he had made an end 3615 z8762 of prophesying, 5012 z8692 x4480 he came 935 z8799 to the high place. 1116

 10:14 ¶ And Saul's 7586 uncle 1730 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him and to x413 his servant, 5288 Whither 575 went 1980 z8804 ye? And he said, 559 z8799 To seek 1245 z8763 x853 the asses: 860 and when we saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 [they were] no where, 369 we came 935 z8799 to x413 Samuel. 8050

 10:15 And Saul's 7586 uncle 1730 said, 559 z8799 Tell 5046 z8685 me, I pray thee, x4994 what x4100 Samuel 8050 said 559 z8804 unto you.

 10:16 And Saul 7586 said 559 z8799 unto x413 his uncle, 1730 He told y5046 z8689 us plainly 5046 z8687 that x3588 the asses 860 were found. 4672 z8738 But of the matter 1697 of the kingdom, 4410 whereof x834 Samuel 8050 spoke, 559 z8804 he told 5046 z8689 him not. x3808

 10:17 ¶ And Samuel 8050 called y6817 z8686 the people y5971 together x6817 x853 x5971 unto x413 the LORD 3068 to Mizpeh; 4709

 10:18 And said 559 z8799 unto x413 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 I x595 brought up 5927 z8689 x853 Israel 3478 out of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and delivered 5337 z8686 you out of the hand 3027 x4480 of the Egyptians, 4714 and out of the hand 3027 x4480 of all x3605 kingdoms, 4467 [and] of them that oppressed 3905 z8801 you:

 10:19 And ye x859 have this day 3117 rejected 3988 z8804 x853 your God, 430 who x834 himself x1931 saved 3467 z8688 you out of all x4480 x3605 your adversities 7451 and your tribulations; 6869 and ye have said 559 z8799 unto him, [Nay], but x3588 set 7760 z8799 a king 4428 over x5921 us. Now x6258 therefore present y3320 z8690 yourselves x3320 before 6440 the LORD 3068 by your tribes, 7626 and by your thousands. 505

 10:20 And when Samuel 8050 had caused x853 all x3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 to come near, 7126 z8686 the tribe 7626 of Benjamin 1144 was taken. 3920 z8735

 10:21 When he had caused x853 the tribe 7626 of Benjamin 1144 to come near 7126 z8686 by their families, 4940 the family 4940 of Matri 4309 was taken, 3920 z8735 and Saul 7586 the son 1121 of Kish 7027 was taken: 3920 z8735 and when they sought 1245 z8762 him, he could not x3808 be found. 4672 z8738

 10:22 Therefore they inquired 7592 z8799 of the LORD 3068 further, x5750 if the man 376 should yet x5750 come 935 z8804 thither. 1988 And the LORD 3068 answered, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 he x1931 hath hid y2244 z8737 himself x2244 among x413 the stuff. 3627

 10:23 And they ran 7323 z8799 and fetched 3947 z8799 him thence: x4480 x8033 and when he stood 3320 z8691 among 8432 the people, 5971 he was higher 1361 z8799 than any x4480 x3605 of the people 5971 from his shoulders 7926 x4480 and upward. 4605

 10:24 And Samuel 8050 said 559 z8799 to x413 all x3605 the people, 5971 See 7200 z8804 ye him whom x834 the LORD 3068 hath chosen, 977 z8804 that x3588 [there is] none x369 like him x3644 among all x3605 the people? 5971 And all x3605 the people 5971 shouted, 7321 z8686 and said, 559 z8799 God save 2421 z8799 the king. 4428

 10:25 Then Samuel 8050 told 1696 z8762 x413 the people 5971 x853 the manner 4941 of the kingdom, 4410 and wrote 3789 z8799 [it] in a book, 5612 and laid [it] up y3240 z8686 x5117 before 6440 the LORD. 3068 And Samuel 8050 sent 7971 z0 x853 all x3605 the people 5971 away, y7971 z8762 every man 376 to his house. 1004

 10:26 ¶ And Saul 7586 also x1571 went 1980 z8804 home 1004 to Gibeah; 1390 and there went y3212 z8799 x1980 with x5973 him a band of men, 2428 whose x834 hearts 3820 God 430 had touched. 5060 z8804

 10:27 But the children 1121 of Belial 1100 said, 559 z8804 How x4100 shall this x2088 man save 3467 z8686 us? And they despised 959 z8799 him, and brought 935 z8689 him no x3808 presents. 4503 But he held his peace. 2790 z8688
