jub - 1Samuel:11-16

jub@1Samuel:11:1 @ Then Nahash, the Ammonite, came up and encamped against Jabeshgilead. And all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

jub@1Samuel:11:2 @ And Nahash, the Ammonite, answered them, On this [condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.

jub@1Samuel:11:3 @ And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the borders of Israel, and then, if [there is] no one to save us, we will come out to thee.

jub@1Samuel:11:4 @ Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the tidings in the ears of the people, and all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

jub@1Samuel:11:5 @ And, behold, Saul came after the oxen out of the field, and Saul said, What [ails] the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

jub@1Samuel:11:6 @ And the Spirit of God prospered Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

jub@1Samuel:11:7 @ And he took a yoke of oxen and hewed them in pieces and sent [them] throughout all the borders of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whoever does not come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

jub@1Samuel:11:8 @ And when he numbered them in Bezek, the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

jub@1Samuel:11:9 @ And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, Tomorrow, by [the time] the sun is hot, ye shall have salvation. And the messengers came and declared [it] to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.

jub@1Samuel:11:10 @ Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seems good unto you.

jub@1Samuel:11:11 @ And it was so on the next day that Saul put the people in order in three companies, and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day, and it came to pass that those who remained were scattered so that two of them were not left together.

jub@1Samuel:11:12 @ Then the people said unto Samuel, Who [were] those that said, Shall Saul reign over us? Bring the men, that we may put them to death.

jub@1Samuel:11:13 @ And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day, for today the LORD has wrought salvation in Israel.

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

jub@1Samuel:11:15 @ And all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal, and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.:

jub@1Samuel:12:1 @ And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me and have made a king over you.

jub@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now, behold, your king walks before you. I am old and grayheaded, and, behold, my sons [are] with you, and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.

jub@1Samuel:12:3 @ Behold, here I [am]; witness against me before the LORD and before his anointed. If I have taken anyone's ox or if I have taken anyone's ass or if I have defrauded anyone or if I have oppressed anyone or if I have received [a] bribe from anyone to blind my eyes, I will restore it you.

jub@1Samuel:12:4 @ And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us nor oppressed us; neither hast thou taken anything of any man's hand.

jub@1Samuel:12:5 @ And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against you, and his anointed [is] witness this day that ye have not found anything in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.

jub@1Samuel:12:6 @ Then Samuel said unto the people, The LORD is he who advanced Moses and Aaron and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

jub@1Samuel:12:7 @ Now, therefore, stand still that I may contend with you before the LORD of all the righteousnesses of the LORD which he did to you and to your fathers.

jub@1Samuel:12:8 @ After Jacob had entered into Egypt and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron who brought forth your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

jub@1Samuel:12:9 @ And when they forgot the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor and into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

jub@1Samuel:12:10 @ And they cried unto the LORD and said, We have sinned because we have forsaken the LORD and have served the Baalim and Ashtaroth, but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

jub@1Samuel:12:11 @ Then the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt safe.

jub@1Samuel:12:12 @ And when ye saw that Nahash, the king of the sons of Ammon, came against you, ye said unto me, No, but a king shall reign over us when the LORD your God [was] your king.

jub@1Samuel:12:13 @ Now, therefore, behold the king whom ye have chosen [and] whom ye have desired! Behold, the LORD has set a king over you.

jub@1Samuel:12:14 @ If ye will fear the LORD and serve him and hear his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigns over you continue following the LORD your God.

jub@1Samuel:12:15 @ But if ye will not hear the voice of the LORD but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD shall be against you as [it was] against your fathers.

jub@1Samuel:12:16 @ Now, therefore, stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

jub@1Samuel:12:17 @ [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness [is] great which ye have done in the sight of the LORD in asking for a king [over] you.

jub@1Samuel:12:18 @ So Samuel called unto the LORD, and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

jub@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God that we not die, for we have added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask for a king [over] us.

jub@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said unto the people, Do not fear. Ye have done all this wickedness, yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

jub@1Samuel:12:21 @ do not turn aside after vain [things] which cannot profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain.

jub@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake because it has pleased the LORD to make you his people.

jub@1Samuel:12:23 @ Moreover as for me, in no wise should I sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you, but I will teach you the good and the right way.

jub@1Samuel:12:24 @ Only fear the LORD and serve him in truth with all your heart, for consider what great [things] he has done with you.

jub@1Samuel:12:25 @ But if ye shall persevere in doing wickedly, both ye and your king shall perish.:

jub@1Samuel:13:1 @ Saul was as a son of one year when [he began] to reign, and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

jub@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose three thousand [men] of Israel, [of which] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and of the rest of the people he sent each one to his tent.

jub@1Samuel:13:3 @ And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul caused the shofar to be blown throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.

jub@1Samuel:13:4 @ And all Israel heard it said [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines and also [that] Israel had become a stench unto the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.

jub@1Samuel:13:5 @ Then the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in multitude; and they came up and pitched camp in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.

jub@1Samuel:13:6 @ When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves and in thickets and in rocks and in high places and in pits.

jub@1Samuel:13:7 @ And [some of] the Hebrews went over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

jub@1Samuel:13:8 @ And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed], but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were deserting from him.

jub@1Samuel:13:9 @ Then Saul said, Bring me a burnt offering and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

jub@1Samuel:13:10 @ And it came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him that he might bless him.

jub@1Samuel:13:11 @ Then Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were leaving me and [that] thou didst not come within the days appointed and [that] the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash,

jub@1Samuel:13:12 @ therefore, I said, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD. I forced myself, therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

jub@1Samuel:13:13 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee, for now the LORD would have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.

jub@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now thy kingdom shall not stand; the LORD has sought a man after his own heart unto whom the LORD has commanded that he be captain over his people because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee.

jub@1Samuel:13:15 @ And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men.

jub@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul and Jonathan, his son, and the people [that were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

jub@1Samuel:13:17 @ And three companies came out of the camp of the Philistines to destroy the land. One company turned unto the way [that leads to] Ophrah unto the land of Shual.

jub@1Samuel:13:18 @ Another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron, and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looks to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

jub@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had said, Lest peradventure the Hebrews make swords or spears.

jub@1Samuel:13:20 @ But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen each man his share and his coulter and his axe and his mattock

jub@1Samuel:13:21 @ and when they had nicks in the mattocks and the coulters and the forks and the axes, or to fix a goad.

jub@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came to pass in the day of battle that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan except with Saul and with Jonathan his son who had them.

jub@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.:

jub@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it came to pass upon a day that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said unto the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that [is] on the other side. But he did not tell his father.

jub@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron, and the people that [were] with him [were] about six hundred men;

jub@1Samuel:14:3 @ and Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, was wearing the ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.

jub@1Samuel:14:4 @ And between the passages by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, [there was] a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side; and the name of the one [was] Bozez and the name of the other Seneh.

jub@1Samuel:14:5 @ The forefront of the one [was] situated northward over against Michmash and the other towards the Negev over against Gibeah.

jub@1Samuel:14:6 @ And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised; peradventure the LORD will work for us, for it is not difficult for the LORD to save by many or by few.

jub@1Samuel:14:7 @ And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in thy heart; go. Behold, I [am] with thee according to thy will.

jub@1Samuel:14:8 @ Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over unto [these] men, and we will show ourselves unto them.

jub@1Samuel:14:9 @ If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place and will not go up unto them.

jub@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, Come up unto us, then we will go up, for the LORD has delivered them into our hand, and this [shall be] a sign unto us.

jub@1Samuel:14:11 @ And both of them showed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

jub@1Samuel:14:12 @ And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. Then Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

jub@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet and his armourbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armourbearer slew after him.

jub@1Samuel:14:14 @ And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made was about twenty men within as it were a half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow].

jub@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people of the garrison; and those who had gone out to destroy the land, they also trembled, and the earth quaked, and there was fear of God.

jub@1Samuel:14:16 @ And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another].

jub@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said unto the people that [were] with him, Number now and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not [there].

jub@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the sons of Israel.

jub@1Samuel:14:19 @ And it came to pass while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on and increased. Then Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

jub@1Samuel:14:20 @ And Saul and all the people that [were] with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle; and, behold, each man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.

jub@1Samuel:14:21 @ Moreover, the Hebrews [that] had been with the Philistines before that time, who had gone up with them into the camp [from the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan.

jub@1Samuel:14:22 @ Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in Mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, they also followed hard after them in the battle.

jub@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the LORD saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.

jub@1Samuel:14:24 @ But the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eats [any] food until evening that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food.

jub@1Samuel:14:25 @ And [the army] of all the land came to a wood, and there was honey upon the ground.

jub@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

jub@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard when his father charged the people with the oath, therefore, he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.

jub@1Samuel:14:28 @ Then one of the people spoke and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eats [any] food this day. And the people were faint.

jub@1Samuel:14:29 @ Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

jub@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much more if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? Would there not have been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

jub@1Samuel:14:31 @ And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon, but the people were very faint.

jub@1Samuel:14:32 @ Therefore, the people flew upon the spoil and took sheep and oxen and calves and slew [them] on the ground, and the people ate [them] with the blood.

jub@1Samuel:14:33 @ Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed; roll a great stone unto me this day.

jub@1Samuel:14:34 @ And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people and tell each one to bring his ox and his sheep here unto me and slay [them] here and eat and do not sin against the LORD in eating with the blood. And of all the people, each one brought his ox with him that night and slew [them] there.

jub@1Samuel:14:35 @ And Saul built an altar unto the LORD; the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.

jub@1Samuel:14:36 @ And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good unto thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw near unto God here.

jub@1Samuel:14:37 @ And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.

jub@1Samuel:14:38 @ Then Saul said, Bring here all the chief of the people and know and see by whom this sin has been this day.

jub@1Samuel:14:39 @ For, [as] the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan, my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him.

jub@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then he said unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seems good unto thee.

jub@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore, Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Show who is without blemish. And Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people went out [free].

jub@1Samuel:14:42 @ And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

jub@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in my hand; must I die for this.

jub@1Samuel:14:44 @ And Saul answered, God do so and more also, for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

jub@1Samuel:14:45 @ Then the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great saving health in Israel? No, in no wise: [as] the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan that he did not die.

jub@1Samuel:14:46 @ Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

jub@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul took the kingdom over Israel and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab and against the sons of Ammon and against Edom and against the kings of Zobah and against the Philistines; and wherever he turned himself, he troubled [them].

jub@1Samuel:14:48 @ And he gathered a host and smote Amalek and delivered Israel out of the hands of those that spoiled them.

jub@1Samuel:14:49 @ Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishui and Melchishua. And the names of his two daughters [were these]: the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal.

jub@1Samuel:14:50 @ And the name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

jub@1Samuel:14:51 @ For Kish [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, [was] the son of Abiel.

jub@1Samuel:14:52 @ And there was intense war against the Philistines all the days of Saul, and when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, he took him unto him.:

jub@1Samuel:15:1 @ And Samuel said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel; now, therefore, hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.

jub@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus hath said the LORD of the hosts, I remember [that] which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way when he came up from Egypt.

jub@1Samuel:15:3 @ Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have and spare him not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

jub@1Samuel:15:4 @ And Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.

jub@1Samuel:15:5 @ And Saul came to a city of Amalek and laid wait in the valley.

jub@1Samuel:15:6 @ And Saul said unto the Kenite, Go, depart, go out from among those of Amalek lest I destroy you with them, for ye showed mercy to all the sons of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenite departed from among those of Amalek.

jub@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul smote Amalek from Havilah [until] thou comest to Shur that [is] over against Egypt.

jub@1Samuel:15:8 @ And he took Agag, the king of the Amalekites, alive and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

jub@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fatlings and the lambs and all [that was] good and would not utterly destroy them, but every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

jub@1Samuel:15:10 @ Then the word of the LORD came unto Samuel, saying,

jub@1Samuel:15:11 @ It grieves me that I have set up Saul [to be] king, for he has turned back from following me and has not performed my commandments. And it incensed Samuel, and he cried unto the LORD all night.

jub@1Samuel:15:12 @ And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set himself up a monument and is gone about and passed on and gone down to Gilgal.

jub@1Samuel:15:13 @ And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said unto him, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD; I have performed the commandment of the LORD.

jub@1Samuel:15:14 @ Then Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

jub@1Samuel:15:15 @ And Saul said, They have brought them from Amalek, for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God, and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

jub@1Samuel:15:16 @ Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.

jub@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?

jub@1Samuel:15:18 @ And the LORD sent thee on a journey and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners of Amalek and fight against them until they are consumed.

jub@1Samuel:15:19 @ Why then didst thou not hear the voice of the LORD but didst fly upon the spoil and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?

jub@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said unto Samuel, But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD and have gone the way which the LORD sent me and have brought Agag, the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

jub@1Samuel:15:21 @ But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the firstfruits of the anathema, to sacrifice them unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.

jub@1Samuel:15:22 @ And Samuel said, Does the LORD have [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in hearing the voice of the LORD? Behold, to hear [is] better than sacrifice [and] to hearken than the fat of rams.

jub@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion [is] the sin of witchcraft, and to break [the word of the Lord is] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected thee from [being] king.

jub@1Samuel:15:24 @ Then Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and thy words because I feared the people and consented unto their voice.

jub@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now, therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin and turn again with me that I may worship the LORD.

jub@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee, for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected thee from being king over Israel.

jub@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

jub@1Samuel:15:28 @ And Samuel said unto him, The LORD has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee today and has given it to a neighbour of thine [that is] better than thou.

jub@1Samuel:15:29 @ And also the Overcomer of Israel will not lie nor repent concerning this, for he [is] not a man, that he should repent.

jub@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, I have sinned; [yet] honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people and before Israel and turn again with me that I may worship the LORD thy God.

jub@1Samuel:15:31 @ So Samuel turned again after Saul, and Saul worshipped the LORD.

jub@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then Samuel said, Bring me Agag, the king of Amalek. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is near.

jub@1Samuel:15:33 @ And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. Then Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

jub@1Samuel:15:34 @ Then Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah of Saul.

jub@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul because the LORD had repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.:

jub@1Samuel:16:1 @ And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thy horn with oil and go; I will send thee to Jesse of Bethlehem for I have provided me a king among his sons.

jub@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, How can I go? If Saul understands [it], he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take a heifer with thee and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.

jub@1Samuel:16:3 @ And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do, and thou shalt anoint unto me the one whom I name unto thee.

jub@1Samuel:16:4 @ And Samuel did as the LORD said and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming and said, Comest thou peaceably?

jub@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, Peaceably; I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and called them to the sacrifice.

jub@1Samuel:16:6 @ And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab and said, Peradventure is the LORD'S anointed before him?

jub@1Samuel:16:7 @ And the LORD replied unto Samuel, Do not look on his countenance or on the height of his stature because I have refused him, for it is not as man sees, for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.

jub@1Samuel:16:8 @ Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this one.

jub@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither has the LORD chosen this one.

jub@1Samuel:16:10 @ Again, Jesse made his seven sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD has not chosen these.

jub@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are all [thy] young men here? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he keeps the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send for him, for we will not sit down to the table until he comes here.
