1Samuel:10:9-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it happened when he turned his back to go from Samuel ,
God changed him with another heart .
And all these signs came on that day .
*
And they came there to the hill .
And behold !
A band of prophets were there to meet him .
And the Spirit of God pushed on him ,
and he prophesied in their midst .
*
And it happened ,
all who knew him from yesterday and the third day ,
and saw him even behold ,
he prophesied with prophets .
And the people said ,
each one to his neighbor ,
What is this happening to the son of Kish ?
Is Saul also among the prophets ?
*
And a man from there answered and said ,
And who is their father ?
On account of this it is for a proverb :
Is Saul also among the prophets ?
*
And he finished from prophesying ,
and he came to the high place .
*
And the uncle of Saul said to him and to his young man ,
Where did you go ?
And he said ,
To seek the she asses .
And we saw that they were not ,
and we went to Samuel .
*
And the uncle of Saul said ,
Please tell me what Samuel said to you .
*
And Saul said to his uncle ,
He told us plainly that the she asses were found .
But he did not tell what Samuel said about the matter of the kingdom .
*
And Samuel called the people to Jehovah ,
to Mizpah .
*
And he said to the sons of Israel ,
So says Jehovah the God of Israel ,
I caused Israel to go up from Egypt and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians ,
and from the hand of all the kingdoms who oppressed you .
*
But today you have rejected your God who Himself is your deliverer from all your evils and your distresses ;
yet you say to Him ,
But set a king over us !
And now present yourselves before the face of Jehovah ,
by your tribes and by your families .
*
And Samuel brought near all the tribes of Israel ,
and the tribe of Benjamin was taken .
*
And he brought near the tribe of Benjamin by its families ,
and the family of Matri was taken .
And Saul the son of Kish was taken .
And they sought him ,
but not did find him .
*
And they inquired again of Jehovah ,
Has the man yet come here ?
And Jehovah said ,
Behold he is hiding himself by the baggage .
*
And they ran and took him from there .
And he stood in the midst of the people ,
and he was taller than all the people ,
from his shoulders and upward .
*
And Samuel said to all the people ,
Do you see him whom Jehovah has chosen ,
for none is like him among all the people ?
And all the people shouted and said ,
May the king live !
*
And Samuel spoke to the people the duties of the kingdom ,
and wrote in the book ,
and placed it before Jehovah .
And Samuel sent all the people away ,
each to his house .
*
And Saul also went to his house ,
to Gibeah ,
and with him went the force whose hearts God had touched .
*
But the sons of worthlessness said ,
How can this one deliver us ?
And they despised him and did not bring a gift to him .
But he was as one keeping silent .
