gltv@1Samuel:11:3 @ And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Slack off from us seven days, and we will send messengers in all the boundary of Israel. And if there is no deliverer for us, then we will come out to you.

gltv@1Samuel:11:13 @ And Saul said, Not a man shall be put to death on this day, for today Jehovah worked deliverance in Israel.

gltv@1Samuel:11:14 @ And Samuel said to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there.

gltv@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now, behold, the king is walking before you, but I am old and gray. And, behold, my sons, they are with you. And I have walked before your face from my youth until this day.

gltv@1Samuel:12:3 @ Behold, I am here! Testify against me before Jehovah and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I offended? Whom have I abused, and from whose hand have I taken a bribe that I might hide my eyes with it; and I will give back to you.

gltv@1Samuel:12:4 @ And they said, You have not oppressed us, and you have not abused us, and you have not taken from the hand of any man.

gltv@1Samuel:12:9 @ And they forgot Jehovah their God. And He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

gltv@1Samuel:12:10 @ And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, for we forsook Jehovah and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies and we will serve You.

gltv@1Samuel:12:11 @ And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies from all around; and you lived securely.

gltv@1Samuel:12:12 @ And you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, and you said to me, No, for a king shall reign over us even though Jehovah your God was king over you.

gltv@1Samuel:12:13 @ And now, behold the king whom you chose, whom you requested. And behold Jehovah gave a king over you.

gltv@1Samuel:12:14 @ If you will fear Jehovah and serve Him, and listen to His voice, and do not rebel against the mouth of Jehovah, then you, both you and also the king who reigns over you, shall follow Jehovah your God.

gltv@1Samuel:12:15 @ But if you will not listen to the voice of Jehovah, and you rebel against the mouth of Jehovah, then the hand of Jehovah shall be against you and against your fathers.

gltv@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call to Jehovah and He will give sounds and rain. And know and see that your evil is great, that which you have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask a king for yourselves.

gltv@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah your God for your servants, and not we will die, for we have added this evil to all our sins to ask a king for ourselves.

gltv@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this evil, only do not turn aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart.

gltv@1Samuel:12:21 @ And do not turn aside to go after worthless things which do not profit and do not deliver, for they are worthless.

gltv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For Jehovah will not abandon His people, for the sake of His great name. For Jehovah undertakes to make you a people for Himself.

gltv@1Samuel:12:23 @ Also I, far be it from me from sinning against Jehovah, from ceasing to pray for you. But I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

gltv@1Samuel:12:24 @ Only fear Jehovah and serve Him in truth with all your heart, for see that He has done great things for you.

gltv@1Samuel:12:25 @ But if you still do evilly, both you and your king will be swept away.

gltv@1Samuel:13:1 @ It was one year since Saul became king, then he reigned two more years over Israel.

gltv@1Samuel:13:2 @ And Saul chose for himself three thousand out of Israel. And two thousand were with Saul in Michmash, and in the hills of Bethel. And a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And he sent the rest of the people each to his tent.

gltv@1Samuel:13:10 @ And it happened, as soon as he finished the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him, and to bless him.

gltv@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and you did not come in the days set out, and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash,

gltv@1Samuel:13:12 @ then I said, Now the Philistines will come down to me to Gilgal, and I have not sweetened the face of Jehovah; and I forced myself, and offered a burnt offering.

gltv@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul, You have acted foolishly that you have not kept the command of Jehovah your God which He commanded you. For now Jehovah would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

gltv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not stand. Jehovah has sought out for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him as leader over His people. For you have not kept that which Jehovah commanded you.

gltv@1Samuel:13:22 @ And it happened in the day of battle that there was neither sword nor spear in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan. But one was found with Saul and with his son Jonathan.

gltv@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the fort of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

gltv@1Samuel:14:1 @ And the day came that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man bearing his armor, Come, and we will go over to the fort of the Philistines on the other side. But he did not tell his father.

gltv@1Samuel:14:8 @ And Jonathan said, Behold, we will cross over to the men and show ourselves to them.

gltv@1Samuel:14:9 @ If they say this to us, Stand still until we reach you, then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.

gltv@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say this, Come up to us, then we will go up, for Jehovah has given them into our hand; and this will be the sign for us.

gltv@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was trembling in the camp in the field, and among all the people; the fort and the spoilers trembled, even them. And the ground quaked, and it was for a trembling of God.

gltv@1Samuel:14:16 @ And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude had melted away; and they went, even here and there.

gltv@1Samuel:14:17 @ And Saul said to the people with him, Make a count now and see who has gone from us. And they counted, and, behold, Jonathan and the armorbearer were not there.

gltv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring the ark of God here, for the ark of God was with the sons of Israel on that day.

gltv@1Samuel:14:19 @ And it happened while Saul spoke to the priest, that the turmoil which was in the camp, even the Philistines went on, going and increasing. And Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hand.

gltv@1Samuel:14:23 @ And Jehovah saved Israel that day. And the battle passed over to Beth-aven.

gltv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed on that day, for Saul took an oath of the people, saying, Cursed shall be the man who eats food until the evening, when I have been avenged on my foes. And none of the people tasted food.

gltv@1Samuel:14:27 @ And Jonathan did not hear when his father made the people swear. And he put out the tip of the staff in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. And he put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.

gltv@1Samuel:14:28 @ And one of the people answered and said, Your father certainly took an oath of the people, saying, Cursed shall be the man who eats food today. And the people were weak.

gltv@1Samuel:14:29 @ And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, now, that my eyes became bright, for I tasted this little honey.

gltv@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much more if the people had eaten well today of this spoil of its enemies which it has found. For now would not the blow among the Philistines have not been great.

gltv@1Samuel:14:31 @ And they struck the Philistines on that day from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people were very weak.

gltv@1Samuel:14:32 @ And the people fell on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughtered them to the ground. And the people ate with the blood.

gltv@1Samuel:14:33 @ And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people are sinning against Jehovah, to eat with the blood. And he said, You have acted treacherously. Now roll me a great stone today.

gltv@1Samuel:14:45 @ And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, he who did this great deliverance in Israel? Far be it! As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day. And the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

gltv@1Samuel:15:10 @ And the word of Jehovah was to Samuel, saying,

gltv@1Samuel:15:11 @ I repent that I made Saul reign as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and he has not risen to do my words. And Samuel was angry, and he cried to Jehovah all night.

gltv@1Samuel:15:15 @ And Saul said, They have brought them from Amalek, because the people had pity on the best of the flock, and of the herd, in order to sacrifice to Jehovah your God. And the rest we have exterminated.

gltv@1Samuel:15:22 @ And Samuel said, Does Jehovah delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice! To give attention is better than the fat of rams.

gltv@1Samuel:15:23 @ For the sin of divination is rebellion; insolence is both iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Jehovah, so He has rejected you from being king.

gltv@1Samuel:15:24 @ And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the mouth of Jehovah and your word, because I feared the people, and I listened to their voice.

gltv@1Samuel:15:25 @ And now please lift up my sin, and return with me that I may worship Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:15:30 @ And he said, I have sinned. Honor me now, I beg you, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and return with me. And I shall worship Jehovah your God.

gltv@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel never again saw Saul until the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul. And Jehovah repented that He had caused Saul to reign over Israel.

gltv@1Samuel:16:1 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Until when will you mourn for Saul, for I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have seen a king for Me among his sons.

gltv@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, How can I go? When Saul hears, then he will kill me. And Jehovah said, You shall take a heifer from the herd in your hand, and shall say, I have come to sacrifice to Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:16:3 @ And you invite Jesse to the sacrifice. And I will make you know what you shall do. And you shall anoint for Me whomever I say to you.

gltv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, Peace! I have come to sacrifice to Jehovah. Sanctify yourselves and you shall come to me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

gltv@1Samuel:16:6 @ And it happened as they came in, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely His anointed is before Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:16:7 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Do not look on his appearance, nor to the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For man does not see what He sees. For man looks for the eyes, but Jehovah looks for the heart.

gltv@1Samuel:16:8 @ And Jesse called to Abinadab, and he passed him before Samuel but he said, Also Jehovah has not chosen this one.

gltv@1Samuel:16:9 @ And Jesse passed Shammah by, but he said, Also Jehovah has not chosen this one.

gltv@1Samuel:16:10 @ And Jesse passed seven of his sons before Samuel, but Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen among these.
