1Samuel:1:1 @ And there was a certain man, of Ramathaim-zuphi, of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name, was Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite;
rotherham@1Samuel:1:2 @ and, he, had two wives, the name of the one, Hannah, and, the name of the other, Peninnah, and Peninnah had children, but, Hannah, had no children.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:3 @ So then that man went up, out of his city, from time to time, to worship and to sacrifice unto Yahweh of hosts, in Shiloh, and, there, were the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:4 @ And, when the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he used to give, to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions;
rotherham@1Samuel:1:5 @ and, unto Hannah, used he to give one portion, howbeit, Hannah, he loved, although, Yahweh, had restrained her from having children.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her rival used even to cause her great vexation, for the sake of provoking her, because Yahweh had restrained her from having children.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:7 @ And, thus, used she to do, year by year, whenever she went up to the house of Yahweh, thus, used she to vex her, and she wept, and would not eat.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:8 @ So Elkanah her husband said to her Hannah! wherefore shouldst thou weep? and wherefore wilt thou not eat? and wherefore should thy heart be sad? Am, I, not better to thee, than ten sons?
rotherham@1Samuel:1:9 @ And Hannah rose up, after she had eaten in Shiloh, and after she had drunk, and, Eli the priest, was sitting upon his chair, by the door-post of the temple of Yahweh;
rotherham@1Samuel:1:10 @ and, she being in bitterness of soul, prayed unto Yahweh, and, wept sore.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow, and said Yahweh of hosts! If thou wilt, look, upon the humiliation of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then will I give him unto Yahweh, all the days of his life, and no, razor, shall come upon his head.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:12 @ And so it was, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli was watching her mouth.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:13 @ But as for, Hannah, she, was speaking in her heart, only her lips, were moving, but, her voice, could not be heard, so Eli thought she had been drunken.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:14 @ And Eli said unto her, How long, wilt thou be, drunken? Put away thy wine from thee.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:15 @ And Hannah responded and said Nay! my lord; A woman depressed in spirit, am I: neither wine nor strong drink, have I drunk, but I poured out my soul, before Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:16 @ Do not count thy handmaid for an abandoned woman, for, out of the abundance of my grief and my vexation, have I spoken, hitherto.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:17 @ Then responded Eli, and said Go and prosper! And the, God of Israel, grant thy petition which thou hast asked of him!
rotherham@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said: Let thy serving-woman find favour, in thine eyes. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and, her countenance, was sad no longer.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:19 @ And they rose up early in the morning, and worshipped before Yahweh, and returned, and entered their own house, in Ramah, and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and Yahweh remembered her.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:20 @ And so it was, when the days had come round during which Hannah was with child, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, Because, of Yahweh, I asked him. \fs15
rotherham@1Samuel:1:21 @ And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up, to offer unto Yahweh the yearly sacrifice, and his own vow.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:22 @ But, Hannah, went not up, for she said to her husband till the boy is weaned, then will I take him, and he shall appear before Yahweh, and abide there evermore.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:23 @ And Elkanah her husband said to her Do what is good in thine own eyes, tarry until thou have weaned him, only may Yahweh establish his word! So the woman tarried, and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:24 @ Then took she him up with her, when she had weaned him, with a bullock of three years old, and one ephah of meal, and a skin of wine, and took him to the house of Yahweh, at Shiloh, the boy yet being young.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:25 @ So they slew the bullock, and took the boy in, unto Eli.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said Pardon, my lord! By the life of thy soul, my lord, I, am the woman who was standing near thee here, praying unto Yahweh:
rotherham@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this boy, I prayed, And Yahweh hath given me my petition which I asked of him.
rotherham@1Samuel:1:28 @ Hence, I also, have loaned him unto Yahweh, all the days that he liveth. He, is lent unto Yahweh. And he bowed down there, unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:1 @ Then prayed Hannah, and said, My heart hath leaped for joy in Yahweh, My horn is exalted in Yahweh, My mouth is opened wide, oer my foes, Because I rejoice in thy salvation.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:2 @ There is none holy like Yahweh, Nay! there, is none, except Thee, Nor, is, there a rock, like our God.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:3 @ Do not multiply words, so loftilyloftily, Nor let arrogance proceed from your mouth, For, a GOD of knowledge, is Yahweh, And, for himself, are great doings made firm.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:4 @ The bow of the mighty, is dismayed, While, the fainting, are girded with strength;
rotherham@1Samuel:2:5 @ The sated, have, for bread, taken hire, But, the famished, have left off their toil, So that, the barren, hath given birth unto seven, While, she that hath many sons, languisheth:
rotherham@1Samuel:2:6 @ Yahweh, doth kill, and make alive, Taketh down to hades, and bringeth up:
rotherham@1Samuel:2:7 @ Yahweh, maketh poor, and enricheth, Layeth low, yea exalteth;
rotherham@1Samuel:2:8 @ Raiseth, from the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy, To give them a dwelling with nobles, And, a throne of glory, to make them inherit. For, to Yahweh, belong the pillars of the earth, And he setteth thereon the habitable world.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:9 @ The feet of his loving ones, he doth guard, But, the lawless, in darkness shall be silent, For, by strength, shall no man prevail.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:10 @ As for Yahweh, they shall be shattered who contend with him, Over him, in the heavens will he thunder, Yahweh, will judge the ends of the earth, That he may give strength to his King, And exalt the horn of his Anointed One.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:11 @ Then went Elkanah to Ramah, unto his own house, but, the boy, remained ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli the priest.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:12 @ Now, the sons of Eli, were abandoned men, they knew not Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:13 @ And, the custom of the priests with the people, waswhen any man offered a sacrifice, then would come the priests young man, as the flesh was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand;
rotherham@1Samuel:2:14 @ and would strike it into the boiler, or into the trough, or into the kettle, or into the pot, all that the fork would bring up, the priest took for himself. Thus and thus, used they to do unto all Israel, who came thither, in Shiloh.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:15 @ Also, before any could make perfume with the fat, the priests young man would come in and say to the person who was sacrificing, Come! give flesh for the priests roastings, for he will not take of thee boiled fleshonly raw.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:16 @ And, if the man said to him, Let them at least, make incense, at once with the fat, then take thou as much as thy soul craveth, Then said he to him, But, at once, shalt thou give it; or else, I will take it by force.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:17 @ And so it was, that, the sin of the young men, was exceeding great, before Yahweh, for men scorned the offerings of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:18 @ But, as for Samuel, he was ministering before Yahweh, a boy girded with an ephod of linen.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:19 @ Also, a little robe, used his mother to make for him, and bring it up to him, from year to year, when she came up with her husband, to offer the sacrifice of the year.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli used to bless Elkanah and his wife, and to say Yahweh give thee seed of this woman, instead of the loan that hath been lent unto Yahweh. So they went their way to his own place.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:21 @ And Yahweh visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bare three sons, and two daughters. Thus did the boy Samuel grow up with Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now, Eli, was very old, but he used to hear all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how they even lay with the women who did service, at the opening of the tent of meeting.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:23 @ So he said to them, Wherefore should ye do such things as these? for I keep hearing of your wicked doings, from all these people.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:24 @ Nay, my sons! for it is no good report that I do hear: leading into transgression the people of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:25 @ If one man sin against another, God will interpose, but, if, against Yahweh, a man sin, who will intercede, for him? But they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, for Yahweh was pleased to put them to death.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:26 @ But, the boy Samuel, went on growing in stature, and in favour, both with Yahweh, and also with men.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:27 @ And there came a man of God, unto Eli, and said unto him Thus, saith Yahweh, I, did indeed reveal myself, unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, as servants unto the house of Pharaoh;
rotherham@1Samuel:2:28 @ choosing him out of all the tribes of Israel unto myself, to minister as priest, to offer upon mine altar, to perfume with incense to bear an ephod before me, Therefore gave I unto the house of thy father all the altar-flames of the sons of Israel.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:29 @ Wherefore have ye been kicking at my sacrifices, and my presents, which I commanded, to serve for a home, and shouldest have honoured thy sons more than me: fattening yourselves, with the first of every present of Israel, before me?
rotherham@1Samuel:2:30 @ Hence, the oracle of Yahweh God of Israel, I, said, that, thy house, and the house of thy father, should go to and fro in my presence, unto times age-abiding: But, now, (is the oracle of Yahweh)Be it far from me! For, them who honour me, will I honour, but, they who despise me, shall be lightly esteemed.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:31 @ Lo! days are coming, when I will hew off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father, that there shall be no elder in thy house;
rotherham@1Samuel:2:32 @ But thou shalt descry distress at home, in all that shall gladden Israel, and there shall not be an elder in thine own house, all the days.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:33 @ But, any man of thine whom I may not cut off from mine altar, it shall beto consume his eyes, and grieve his soul; Howbeit, all the multitude of thy house, shall die, by the sword of men.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:34 @ And, this, for thee is the sign, which shall come upon thy two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas, In one day, shall they, both of them, die;
rotherham@1Samuel:2:35 @ And I will raise me up a faithful priest, According to that which is in my heart and in my soul, will he do; Therefore will I build for him an assured house, and he shall go to and fro in presence of mine Anointed, all the days.
rotherham@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall be, that, any that is left in thy house, shall come bowing down to him for a small coin of silver, and for a cake of bread, and shall say: Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:1 @ Now, the boy Samuel, was ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli, and, the word of Yahweh, had become rare in those days, there was no well-known vision.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:2 @ But it came to pass, at that time, when Eli was lying down in his place, his eyes, having begun to be dim, he could not see,
rotherham@1Samuel:3:3 @ though, the lamp of God, was not yet to be put out, and, Samuel, was lying down in the temple of Yahweh, where was the ark of God,
rotherham@1Samuel:3:4 @ that Yahweh called unto Samuel, and he said Behold me!
rotherham@1Samuel:3:5 @ So he ran unto Eli and said Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said I called not, return Its down. So he went, and lie down.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:6 @ And again Yahweh called once there Samuel! Then rose Samuel, and went unto Eli, and said Behold me! for thou calledst me. And he said I called not, my son, returnlie down.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:7 @ Now, Samuel, as yet knew not Yahweh, nor, as yet, had been revealed unto him, the word of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:8 @ And again Yahweh called Samuel! a third time. Then he arose, and went unto Eli, and said Behold me! for thou calledst me. Then did Eli perceive, that, Yahweh, was calling the boy.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:9 @ So Eli said to Samuel Go, lie down, and it shall be, if he call unto thee, that thou shalt say Speak, Yahweh, for thy servant is listening. And Samuel went, and lay down in his place.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:10 @ Then came Yahweh, and stood, and called as time after time Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant is listening.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:11 @ And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Lo! I am doing a thing, in Israel, at which both ears of everyone that heareth it shall tingle.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:12 @ In that day, will I confirm against Eli, all that I have spoken against his house, beginning and finishing.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:13 @ Therefore do I tell him, that I am about to judge his house unto times age-abiding, for the iniquity which he knoweth, in that his sons are cursing God, and he hath not rebuked them.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:14 @ And therefore have I sworn, respecting the house of Eli, that the iniquity of the house of Eli shall receive no propitiatory-covering, by sacrifice or by present, unto times age-abiding.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:15 @ And Samuel lay until the morning, and rose early in the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Yahweh, but, Samuel, feared to tell the appearing, unto Eli.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:16 @ So Eli called Samuel, and said Samuel! my son. And he said Behold me!
rotherham@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said What is the word, which he spake unto thee? I pray thee, do not hide it from me. So, let God do to thee, and, so, let him add, if thou hide from me a word, out of anything which he hath spoken unto thee.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:18 @ So Samuel told him all the words, and hid nothing from him. And he said, Yahweh, he is; what is good in his own eyes, let him do.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:19 @ And Samuel grew, and, Yahweh, proved to he with him, and let none of all his words fall to the ground.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:20 @ So all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, came to know, that Samuel had become confirmed as a prophet unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:3:21 @ Thus did Yahweh again appear in Shiloh, for Yahweh had revealed himself unto Samuel in Shiloh, in the word of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:1 @ And so it was, when the word of Samuel had reached all Israel, that Israel went forth to meet the Philistines in battle, and they encamped near Eben-ezer, while, the Philistines, encamped in Aphek.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:2 @ And the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel, and, when the battle spread, then was Israel smitten before the Philistines, and there were slain of the army in the field about four thousand men.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:3 @ And, when the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath Yahweh smitten us to-day, before the Philistines? Let us fetch unto us, out of Shiloh, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, that, when it cometh into our midst, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:4 @ So the people sent to Shiloh, and bare from thence the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of hosts, who inhabiteth the cherubim, and, there, were the two sons of Eli, with the ark of the covenant of God, namely, Hophni and Phinehas.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:5 @ And so it was, when the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came into the camp, that all Israel brake out into a loud shout of joy, so that the earth rang again.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:6 @ And, when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said What meaneth the noise of this loud shout of joy in the camp of the Hebrews? And they learned that, the ark of Yahweh, had come into the camp.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:7 @ And the Philistines were afraid, for they said God hath come into the camp. And they said Woe to us! for there hath not happened the like of this, heretofore.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:8 @ Woe to us! Who shall rescue us out of the hand of these majestic gods? These, are the gods, who smote the Egyptians with all manner of smiting in the desert!
rotherham@1Samuel:4:9 @ Take courage, and quit yourselves like men, ye Philistines, lest ye come into bondage to the Hebrews, as they have been in bondage unto you, therefore must ye quit yourselves like men, and fight.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:10 @ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his home; and the slaughter became exceeding great, and there fell of Israelthirty thousand footmen.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:11 @ And, the ark of God, was taken, and, the two sons of Eli, were slain, Hophni and Phinehas.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:12 @ And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and entered Shiloh on the same day, with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:13 @ And, when he entered, lo! Eli was sitting upon his chair, by the wayside, watching, for his heart was trembling for the ark of God, and, the man, entered to tell the news in the city, and all the city made outcry.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:14 @ And, when Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And, the man, hasted, and came, and told Eli.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:15 @ Now, Eli, was ninety-eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, that he could not see.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:16 @ So the man said unto Eli, I, am he that came in from the army, yea, I, from the army, fled to-day. And he said What is the thing that hath happened, my son?
rotherham@1Samuel:4:17 @ And the bearer of tidings answered, and said Israel hath fled before the Philistines, Moreover also, a great smiting, hath taken place among the people, Moreover also, thy two sons, are slain, Hophni and Phinehas, And, the ark of God, is taken.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off his seat backwards, at the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died, for, old, was the man, and, heavy, and, he had judged Israel forty years.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now, his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, was with child, ready to give birth, and, when she heard the tidings, as to the taking of the ark of God, and the death of her father-in-law, and her husband, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her pains had seized her.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:20 @ And, about the time of her death, the women that stood by her said: Do not fear, for, to a son, hast thou given birth. But she neither answered nor regarded.
rotherham@1Samuel:4:21 @ And she called the boy I-chabod! saying, Exiled is the glory from Israel, In regard to the taking of the ark of God, and to her father-in-law, and to her husband. \fs15
rotherham@1Samuel:4:22 @ So she said Exiled is the glory from Israel, For the ark of God hath been taken.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:1 @ Now, the Philistines, having taken the ark of God, brought it in from Eben-ezer, unto Ashdod.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:2 @ And, when the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and placed it by the side of Dagon.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:3 @ And, when they of Ashdod rose early on the morrow and entered into the house of Dagon, they looked and lo! Dagon, was lying prostrate on his face to the earth, before the ark of Yahweh, so they took Dagon and restored him to his place.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:4 @ And, when they rose up early in the morning of the morrow, lo! Dagon, was lying prostrate on his face to the earth, before the ark of Yahwehand, the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands, had been cut off against the threshold, only, Dagon himself, was left to him.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:5 @ For this cause, do not the priests of Dagon, nor any that enter into the house of Dagon, tread upon the threshold of Dagon, in Ashdod, until this day.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:6 @ Then was the hand of Yahweh heavy against them of Ashdod, and he astounded them, and smote with tumours Ashdod and her bounds.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:7 @ And, when the men of Ashdod saw that, so, it was, then kept they saying, Let not the ark of the God of Israel abide with us, for, hard, is his hand upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:8 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said: To Gath, let the ark of the God of Israel go round. So they took round the ark of the God of Israel.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:9 @ And so it was, after they had taken it round, then was the hand of Yahweh against the city, with an exceeding great consternation, and he smote the men of the city, from the least, even unto the greatest, and they brake out with tumours.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:10 @ Then sent they the ark of God to Ekron, and so it was, when the ark of God entered Ekron, that the Ekronites made outcry, saying They have brought round unto me the ark of the God of Israel, to slay me, and my people!
rotherham@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and restore it to its own place, that it slay not me, and my people. For there had come a deadly consternation, throughout all the city, heavy exceedingly, was the hand of God there.
rotherham@1Samuel:5:12 @ And, the men who died not, were smitten with the tumours, so the cry of the city for help, ascended the heavens.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:1 @ And it came to pass, that the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines, seven months.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:2 @ Then called the Philistines for the priests and for the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Yahweh? Let us know, wherewith we shall send it to its own place.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:3 @ And they said If ye are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it away, empty, but ye must, surely return, to him, a guilt-offering, then, shall ye be healed, and it shall be known to you, wherefore his hand would not turn away from you.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:4 @ And they said What shall be the guilt-offering, that we shall return to him? And they said By the number of the lords of the Philistines, five tumours of gold, and five mice of gold, for, one plague, was on you all, and on your lords.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:5 @ Wherefore ye shall make likenesses of your turnouts, and likenesses of your mice that are laying waste the land, and shall, give unto the, God of Israel, glory, Peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your god, and from off your land.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:6 @ Wherefore, then, should ye make your heart dull, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh made their heart dull! When he had done his great doings upon them, did they not let them go, and they departed?
rotherham@1Samuel:6:7 @ Now, therefore, take and get ready, one new waggon, and two milch kine, whereon hath never come yoke, then shall ye fasten the kine in the waggon, and withdraw their calves from them, into the shed;
rotherham@1Samuel:6:8 @ and ye shall take the ark of Yahweh, and place it in the waggon, also, the jewels of gold which ye send back to him as a guilt-offering, shall ye put into a coffer, at the side thereof, so shall ye let it go, and it shall depart.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:9 @ Then shall ye lookif, by the way of its own boundary, it goeth up to Beth-shemesh, he, it was who caused us this great affliction, but, if not, then shall we know that it was not, his hand, that smote us, a chance, it was, that befell us.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:10 @ The men, therefore, did so, and took two milch kine, and fastened them in the waggon, but, their calves, shut they up in the shed.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:11 @ And they put the ark of Yahweh, into the waggon, also the coffer, with the mice of gold, and the likenesses of their tumours.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:12 @ And the kine went straight along the road, on the way to Beth-shemesh, yea, along the main highway, they went, lowing as they went, turning not aside, to the right hand or to the left. And, the lords of the Philistines, went along after them, as far as the bounds of Beth-shemesh.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:13 @ Now, they of Beth-shemesh, were reaping their wheat-harvest in the vale, so they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to meet it.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:14 @ And, the waggon, entered into the field of Joshua, a man of Beth-shemesh, and stood still, there, where also, was a great stone, so they clave into pieces the planks of the waggon, and, the kine, offered they up as an ascending-sacrifice, unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:15 @ And, the Levites, took down the ark of Yahweh, and the coffer that was with it, wherein were the jewels of gold, and put them upon the great stone, and, the men of Beth-shemesh, caused to go up ascending-offerings and offered sacrifices, that day, unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:16 @ And, the five lords of the Philistines, saw it, and returned unto Ekron, the same day.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:17 @ Now, these, are the golden boils which, the Philistines returned as a guilt-offering unto Yahweh, For Ashdod, one, for Gaza, one, for Ashkelon, one, for Gath, one, for Ekron, one;
rotherham@1Samuel:6:18 @ And the golden mice, by the number of all the cities of the Philistines, pertaining to the five lords, both fortified cities, and country villages, yea, even the great meadow whereon they rested the ark of Yahweh, until this day, is in the field-land of Joshua, the man of Beth-shemesh.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:19 @ And, when he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they looked into the ark of Yahweh, yea smote of the people seventy men fifty thousand men, the people mourned, for that Yahweh had smitten the people with a great smiting.
rotherham@1Samuel:6:20 @ Then said the men of Beth-shemesh, Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God? and, unto whom, shall he go up from us?
rotherham@1Samuel:6:21 @ And they sent messengers unto the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have returned the ark of Yahweh, come down, fetch it up unto you.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:1 @ Then came the men of Kiriath-jearim and fetched up the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab, in the hill, and, Eleazar his son, hallowed they, to guard the ark of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:2 @ And so it was, that, from the day the ark came to dwell in Kiriath-jearim, the days multiplied, and became twenty years, and all the house of Israel went mourning after Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:3 @ And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If, with all your heart, ye are returning unto Yahweh, then put away the gods of the foreigner out of your midst, and the Ashtorethsand firmly set your heart towards Yahweh, and serve him, alone, that he may deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:4 @ So the sons of Israel put away the Baals, and the Ashtoreths, and served Yahweh, alone.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:5 @ And Samuel said, Gather all Israel unto Mizpah, that I may pray for you, unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered themselves unto Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said, there, We have sinned against Yahweh. And Samuel judged the sons of Israel in Mizpah.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:7 @ And, when the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered themselves together unto Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel, and, when the sons of Israel heard it, they shrank with fear, from the face of the Philistines.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:8 @ And the sons of Israel said unto Samuel, Do not turn in silence from us, from making outcry unto Yahweh our God, that he would save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:9 @ So Samuel took one sucking lamb, and offered it up, as an entire ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, and Samuel made outcry unto Yahweh, for Israel, and Yahweh answered him.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:10 @ And, when Samuel was offering up the ascending-sacrifice, the Philistines, drew near to fight against Israel, but Yahweh thundered with a great noise throughout that day, over the Philistines, and confused them, and they were smitten before Israel.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:11 @ And the men of Israel went forth out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them as far as under Beth-car.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:12 @ And Samuel took a certain stone, and set it between Mizpah and Yeshanah, and called the name thereof Eben-ezer, and said, Hitherto, hath Yahweh helped us.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:13 @ So the Philistines were subdued, and, no more, came within the boundary of Israel, and the hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines, all the days of Samuel.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:14 @ And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even as far as Gath; even the boundaries thereof, did Israel rescue out of the hand of the Philistines, thus came there to be peace between Israel and the Amorites.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:15 @ And Samuel judged Israel, all the days of his life.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:16 @ And he used to take his journey, from year to year, and go round to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and used to judge Israel, at all these places.
rotherham@1Samuel:7:17 @ And, his returning, was to Ramah, for, there, was his house, and, there, judged he Israel, so he built there an altar unto Yahweh.

rotherham@1Samuel:8:2 @ and the name of his firstborn son was, Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah, they were judges in Beer-sheba.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:3 @ Howbeit his sons walked not in his ways, but stooped to extortion, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:4 @ So then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came unto Samuel, to Ramah;
rotherham@1Samuel:8:5 @ and said unto him Lo! thou, art old, and, thy sons, walk not in thy ways: Now, appoint for us a king to judge us, like all the nations.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:6 @ But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give unto us a king to judge us. So Samuel prayed unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:7 @ And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people, in all that they shall say unto thee, for, not thee, have they rejected, but, me, have they rejected, from being king over them.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the doings which they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, even until this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so, are they doing even unto thee.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:9 @ Now, therefore, hearken to their voice, save that thou, enter protest, against them, and tell them the manner of the king who will reign over them.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:10 @ So then Samuel spake all the words of Yahweh unto the people, who were asking of him, a king.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, This, will be the manner of the king who will reign over you, Your sons, will he take and appoint for himself, as his charioteers and as his horsemen, and they shall run before his chariots;
rotherham@1Samuel:8:12 @ and he will appoint for himself, princes of thousands, and princes of fifties, and to plough his fields, and to reap his harvest, and to make his weapons of war, and the instruments of his chariots;

rotherham@1Samuel:8:18 @ Then will ye make outcry, in that day, because of your king whom ye have chosen for yourselves, and Yahweh will not answer you, in that day.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:19 @ But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel, and they said Nay! but, a king, shall be over us:
rotherham@1Samuel:8:20 @ so shall, even we, become like all the nations, and our king shall judge us, and go forth before us, and fight our battles.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:21 @ And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and spake them in the ears of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:8:22 @ And Yahweh said unto Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel: Go ye, every man to his own city.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:1 @ Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name, was Kishson of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Becorath, son of Aphiah, son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valour;

rotherham@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now there had gone astray asses belonging to Kish, Sauls father, so Kish said unto Saul his son I pray thee, take with thee one of the young men, and arisego, seek the asses.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:4 @ And he passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they found them not, then passed they through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there, then passed he through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:5 @ They, had come into the land of Zuph when, Saul, said to his young man who was with him, Come! and let us return; lest my father leave off for the asses, and be concerned for us.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:6 @ And he said to him: Lo! I pray thee, a man of God, in this city, and, the man, is held in honour, all that he saith, surely cometh to pass. Now, let us go thither; peradventure he may tell us our way, whereon we should have gone.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:7 @ Then said Saul to his young man: Behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man, for, the bread, hath failed from our sacks, and, present, there is none to bring to the man of God, what is there with us?
rotherham@1Samuel:9:8 @ And the young man again answered Saul, and said Lo! there is found in my hand, the fourth part of a shekel of silver, which thou canst give to the man of God, and he will tell us our way.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:9 @ Beforetime, in Israel, thus, said a man when he went to enquire of God, Come and let us go as far as the seer, for, the prophet of to-day, used to be called, beforetime, the seer.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:10 @ And Saul said unto his young man, Good, is thy word, come! let us go! So they went unto the city, where the man of God was.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:11 @ They were going up the ascent of the city, when they found young women, coming out to draw water, so they said unto these, Is, the seer, in this place?
rotherham@1Samuel:9:12 @ And the young women answered them and said: He is, lo! before you now, even as, to-day, hath he entered the city, for the people have a sacrifice, to-day, in the high place.

rotherham@1Samuel:9:14 @ So they went up into the city. As they were entering into the midst of the city, lo! Samuel, coming out over against them, to ascend the high place.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:15 @ Now, Yahweh, had unveiled the ear of Samuel, one day before Saul came, saying:
rotherham@1Samuel:9:16 @ About this time to-morrow, will I send unto thee, a man out of the land of Benjamin, whom thou shalt anoint, to be leader over my people Israel, and he shall save my people, out of the hand of the Philistines, for I have looked upon the oppression, because their outcry hath come in unto me.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:17 @ And, when, Samuel, beheld Saul, Yahweh, answered him, Lo! the man, of whom I said unto thee, Here, is one shall control my people.

rotherham@1Samuel:9:20 @ And, as for the asses that went astray from thee three days ago, do not regard them, for they are found, but to whom belongeth all that is desirable in Israel? is it not to thee, and to all the house of thy father?
rotherham@1Samuel:9:21 @ Then answered Saul, and said Am not I, a man of Benjamin, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and, my family, the poorest of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Wherefore, then, hast thou spoken unto me of such a thing as this?
rotherham@1Samuel:9:22 @ And Samuel took Saul and his young man, and brought them into the guest-chamber, and gave them a place at the head of them who were bidden, they being about thirty persons.
rotherham@1Samuel:9:23 @ And Samuel said to the cook, Set on the portion that I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Put it by thee.
