1 Samuel 10:1 Then Samuel8050 took3947 a vial6378 of oil,8081 and poured3332it upon his head,7218 and kissed5401 him, and said,559Isit not because the LORD3068 hath anointed4886 thee tobe captain5057 over his inheritance?51592 When thou art departed3212 from me5978 to day,3117 then thou shalt find4672 two8147 men582 by Rachel's7354 sepulchre6900 in the border1366 of Benjamin1144 at Zelzah;6766 and they will say559 unto thee, The asses860 which thou wentest1980 to seek1245 are found:4672 and, lo, thy father1 hath left5203 the care1697 of{Heb. the business} the asses,860 and sorroweth1672 for you, saying,559 What shall I do6213 for my son?11213 Then shalt thou go on2498 forward1973 from thence, and thou shalt come935 to the plain436 of Tabor,8396 and there shall meet4672 thee three7969 men582 going up5927 to God430 to Bethel,1008 one259 carrying5375 three7969 kids,1423 and another259 carrying5375 three7969 loaves3603 of bread,3899 and another259 carrying5375 a bottle5035 of wine:31964 And they will7592 salute7965 thee,{Heb. ask thee of peace} and give5414 thee two8147loaves of bread;3899 which thou shalt receive3947 of their hands.30275 After310 that thou shalt come935 to the hill1389 of God,430 where is the garrison5333 of the Philistines:6430 and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither935 to the city,5892 that thou shalt meet6293 a company2256 of prophets5030 coming down3381 from the high place1116 with a psaltery,5035 and a tabret,8596 and a pipe,2485 and a harp,3658 before6440 them; and they shall prophesy:50126 And the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 will come6743 upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy5012 with them, and shalt be turned2015 into another312 man.3767 And let it be, when these signs226 are come935 unto thee,{Heb. and it shall come to pass that when these signs etc.}that thou do6213 as occasion4672 serve3027 thee;{Heb. do for thee as thine hand shall find} for God430is with thee.
8 And thou shalt go down3381 before6440 me to Gilgal;1537 and, behold, I will come down3381 unto thee, to offer5927 burnt offerings,5930and to sacrifice2076 sacrifices2077 of peace offerings:8002 seven7651 days3117 shalt thou tarry,3176 till I come935 to thee, and shew3045 thee what thou shalt do.6213
1 Samuel 10:9 And it was so, that when he had turned6437 his back7926{Heb. shoulder} to go3212 from Samuel,8050 God430 gave2015{Heb. turned} him another312 heart:3820 and all those signs226 came935 to pass that day.311710 And when they came935 thither to the hill,1389 behold, a company2256 of prophets5030 met7125 him; and the Spirit7307 of God430 came6743 upon him, and he prophesied5012 among8432 them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew3045 him beforetime8658032 saw7200 that, behold, he prophesied5012 among the prophets,5030 then the people5971 said559 one376 to another,7453{Heb. a man to his neighbor} What is this that is come unto the son1121 of Kish?7027Is Saul7586 also among the prophets?503012 And one376 of the same place{Heb. from thence} answered6030 and said,559 But who is their father?1 Therefore it became a proverb,4912Is Saul7586 also among the prophets?503013 And when he had made an end3615 of prophesying,5012 he came935 to the high place.1116
1 Samuel 10:14 And Saul's7586 uncle1730 said559 unto him and to his servant,5288 Whither575 went1980 ye? And he said,559 To seek1245 the asses:860 and when we saw7200 that theywere no where,369 we came935 to Samuel.805015 And Saul's7586 uncle1730 said,559 Tell5046 me, I pray thee, what Samuel8050 said559 unto you.
16 And Saul7586 said559 unto his uncle,1730 He told5046 us plainly5046 that the asses860 were found.4672 But of the matter1697 of the kingdom,4410 whereof Samuel8050 spake,559 he told5046 him not.
1 Samuel 10:17 And Samuel8050 called6817 the people5971 together unto the LORD3068 to Mizpeh;470918 And said559 unto the children1121 of Israel,3478 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 I brought up5927 Israel3478 out of Egypt,4714 and delivered5337 you out of the hand3027 of the Egyptians,4714 and out of the hand3027 of all kingdoms,4467and of them that oppressed3905 you:
19 And ye have this day3117 rejected3988 your God,430 who himself saved3467 you out of all your adversities7451 and your tribulations;6869 and ye have said559 unto him, Nay, but set7760 a king4428 over us. Now therefore present3320 yourselves before6440 the LORD3068 by your tribes,7626 and by your thousands.50520 And when Samuel8050 had caused all the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to come near,7126 the tribe7626 of Benjamin1144 was taken.392021 When he had caused the tribe7626 of Benjamin1144 to come near7126 by their families,4940 the family4940 of Matri4309 was taken,3920 and Saul7586 the son1121 of Kish7027 was taken:3920 and when they sought1245 him, he could not be found.467222 Therefore they enquired7592 of the LORD3068 further, if the man376 should yet come935 thither.1988 And the LORD3068 answered,559 Behold, he hath hid2244 himself among the stuff.362723 And they ran7323 and fetched3947 him thence: and when he stood3320 among8432 the people,5971 he was higher1361 than any of the people5971 from his shoulders7926 and upward.460524 And Samuel8050 said559 to all the people,5971 See7200 ye him whom the LORD3068 hath chosen,977 that thereis none like him among all the people?5971 And all the people5971 shouted,7321 and said,559 God save2421 the king.4428{Heb. let the king live}25 Then Samuel8050 told1696 the people5971 the manner4941 of the kingdom,4410 and wrote3789it in a book,5612 and laid it up3240 before6440 the LORD.3068 And Samuel8050 sent79712794 all the people5971 away,7971 every man376 to his house.1004
1 Samuel 10:26 And Saul7586 also went1980 home1004 to Gibeah;1390 and there went3212 with him a band of men,2428 whose hearts3820 God430 had touched.506027 But the children1121 of Belial1100 said,559 How shall this man save3467 us? And they despised959 him, and brought935 him no presents.4503 But he held his peace.2790{Or, he was, as though he had been deaf}
