[1]Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947[H8799] a vialH6378 of oilH8081, and pouredH3332[H8799] it upon his headH7218, and kissedH5401[H8799] him, and saidH559[H8799], Is it not because the LORDH3068 hath anointedH4886[H8804] thee to be captainH5057 over his inheritanceH5159?
[2]When thou art departedH3212[H8800] from meH5978 to dayH3117, then thou shalt findH4672[H8804] twoH8147 menH582 by Rachel'sH7354 sepulchreH6900 in the borderH1366 of BenjaminH1144 at ZelzahH6766; and they will sayH559[H8804] unto thee, The assesH860 which thou wentestH1980[H8804] to seekH1245[H8763] are foundH4672[H8738]: and, lo, thy fatherH1 hath leftH5203[H8804] the careH1697 of the assesH860, and sorrowethH1672[H8804] for you, sayingH559[H8800], What shall I doH6213[H8799] for my sonH1121?
[3]Then shalt thou go onH2498[H8804] forwardH1973 from thence, and thou shalt comeH935[H8804] to the plainH436 of TaborH8396, and there shall meetH4672[H8804] thee threeH7969 menH582 going upH5927[H8802] to GodH430 to BethelH1008, oneH259 carryingH5375[H8802] threeH7969 kidsH1423, and anotherH259 carryingH5375[H8802] threeH7969 loavesH3603 of breadH3899, and anotherH259 carryingH5375[H8802] a bottleH5035 of wineH3196:
[4]And they willH7592[H8804] saluteH7965 thee, and giveH5414[H8804] thee twoH8147 loaves of breadH3899; which thou shalt receiveH3947[H8804] of their handsH3027.
[5]AfterH310 that thou shalt comeH935[H8799] to the hillH1389 of GodH430, where is the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thitherH935[H8800] to the cityH5892, that thou shalt meetH6293[H8804] a companyH2256 of prophetsH5030 coming downH3381[H8802] from the high placeH1116 with a psalteryH5035, and a tabretH8596, and a pipeH2485, and a harpH3658, beforeH6440 them; and they shall prophesyH5012:[H8693]
[6]And the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 will comeH6743[H8804] upon thee, and thou shalt prophesyH5012[H8694] with them, and shalt be turnedH2015[H8738] into anotherH312 manH376.
[7]And let it be, when these signsH226 are comeH935[H8799] unto thee, that thou doH6213[H8798] as occasionH4672[H8799] serveH3027 thee; for God is with theeH430.
[8]And thou shalt go downH3381[H8804] beforeH6440 me to GilgalH1537; and, behold, I will come downH3381[H8802] unto thee, to offerH5927[H8687] burnt offeringsH5930, and to sacrificeH2076[H8800] sacrificesH2077 of peace offeringsH8002: sevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou tarryH3176[H8686], till I comeH935[H8800] to thee, and shewH3045[H8689] thee what thou shalt doH6213.[H8799]
[9]And it was so, that when he had turnedH6437[H8687] his backH7926 to goH3212[H8800] from SamuelH8050, GodH430 gaveH2015[H8799] him anotherH312 heartH3820: and all those signsH226 cameH935[H8799] to pass that dayH3117.
[10]And when they cameH935[H8799] thither to the hillH1389, behold, a companyH2256 of prophetsH5030 metH7125[H8800] him; and the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 cameH6743[H8799] upon him, and he prophesiedH5012[H8691] among themH8432.
[11]And it came to pass, when all that knewH3045[H8802] him beforetimeH865[H8032] sawH7200[H8799] that, behold, he prophesiedH5012[H8738] among the prophetsH5030, then the peopleH5971 saidH559[H8799] oneH376 to anotherH7453, What is this that is come unto the sonH1121 of KishH7027? Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030?
[12]And oneH376 of the same place answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], But who is their fatherH1? Therefore it became a proverbH4912, Is SaulH7586 also among the prophetsH5030?
[13]And when he had made an endH3615[H8762] of prophesyingH5012[H8692], he cameH935[H8799] to the high placeH1116.
[14]And Saul'sH7586 uncleH1730 saidH559[H8799] unto him and to his servantH5288, WhitherH575 wentH1980[H8804] ye? And he saidH559[H8799], To seekH1245[H8763] the assesH860: and when we sawH7200[H8799] that they were no whereH369, we cameH935[H8799] to SamuelH8050.
[15]And Saul'sH7586 uncleH1730 saidH559[H8799], TellH5046[H8685] me, I pray thee, what SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto youH8804.
[16]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799] unto his uncleH1730, He toldH5046[H8689] us plainlyH5046[H8687] that the assesH860 were foundH4672[H8738]. But of the matterH1697 of the kingdomH4410, whereof SamuelH8050 spakeH559[H8804], he toldH5046 him notH8689.
[17]And SamuelH8050 calledH6817[H8686] the peopleH5971 together unto the LORDH3068 to MizpehH4709;
[18]And saidH559[H8799] unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought upH5927[H8689] IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, and deliveredH5337[H8686] you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of all kingdomsH4467, and of them that oppressedH3905 youH8801:
[19]And ye have this dayH3117 rejectedH3988[H8804] your GodH430, who himself savedH3467[H8688] you out of all your adversitiesH7451 and your tribulationsH6869; and ye have saidH559[H8799] unto him, Nay, but setH7760[H8799] a kingH4428 over us. Now therefore presentH3320[H8690] yourselves beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 by your tribesH7626, and by your thousandsH505.
[20]And when SamuelH8050 had caused all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to come nearH7126[H8686], the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144 was takenH3920.[H8735]
[21]When he had caused the tribeH7626 of BenjaminH1144 to come nearH7126[H8686] by their familiesH4940, the familyH4940 of MatriH4309 was takenH3920[H8735], and SaulH7586 the sonH1121 of KishH7027 was takenH3920[H8735]: and when they soughtH1245[H8762] him, he could not be foundH4672.[H8738]
[22]Therefore they enquiredH7592[H8799] of the LORDH3068 further, if the manH376 should yet comeH935[H8804] thitherH1988. And the LORDH3068 answeredH559[H8799], Behold, he hath hidH2244[H8737] himself among the stuffH3627.
[23]And they ranH7323[H8799] and fetchedH3947[H8799] him thence: and when he stoodH3320[H8691] amongH8432 the peopleH5971, he was higherH1361[H8799] than any of the peopleH5971 from his shouldersH7926 and upwardH4605.
[24]And SamuelH8050 saidH559[H8799] to all the peopleH5971, SeeH7200[H8804] ye him whom the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977[H8804], that there is none like him among all the peopleH5971? And all the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321[H8686], and saidH559[H8799], God saveH2421[H8799] the kingH4428.
[25]Then SamuelH8050 toldH1696[H8762] the peopleH5971 the mannerH4941 of the kingdomH4410, and wroteH3789[H8799] it in a bookH5612, and laid it upH3240[H8686] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. And SamuelH8050 sentH7971 all the peopleH5971 awayH7971[H8762], every manH376 to his houseH1004.
[26]And SaulH7586 also wentH1980[H8804] homeH1004 to GibeahH1390; and there wentH3212[H8799] with him a band of menH2428, whose heartsH3820 GodH430 had touchedH5060.[H8804]
[27]But the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100 saidH559[H8804], How shall this man saveH3467[H8686] us? And they despisedH959[H8799] him, and broughtH935[H8689] him no presentsH4503. But he held his peaceH2790.[H8688]
