Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass when he (
note :)
Gr .
was turned with his shoulder (:
note )
turned his back to depart from Samuel ,
God Gr .
turned to him gave him another heart ;
and all these signs came to pass in that day .
*
And he comes thence to the hill ,
and behold a band of prophets opposite to him ;
and the Spirit of God came upon him ,
and he prophesied in the midst of them .
*
And all that had known him before came ,
and saw ,
and behold ,
he was in the midst of the prophets :
and the people said every one to his neighbour ,
What is this that has happened to the son of Kis ?
is Saul also among the prophets ?
*
And one of them answered and said ,
And who is his father ?
and therefore it became a proverb ,
Is Saul also among the prophets ?
*
And he ceased prophesying ,
and comes to the hill .
*
And his kinsman said to him and to his servant ,
Whither went ye ?
and they said ,
To seek the asses ;
and we saw that they were lost ,
and we went in to Samuel .
*
And his kinsman said to Saul ,
Tell me ,
I pray thee ,
What did Samuel say to thee ?
*
And Saul said to his kinsman ,
he verily told me that the asses were found .
But the matter of the kingdom he told him not .
*
And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath .
*
And he said to the children of Israel ,
Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken ,
saying ,
I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt ,
and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt ,
and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted you .
*
And ye have this day rejected God ,
who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions ;
and ye said ,
Nay ,
but thou shalt set a king over us :
and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes ,
and according to your families .
*
And Samuel brought nigh all the tribes of Israel ,
and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot .
*
And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families ,
and the family of Mattari is taken by lot :
and they bring near the family of Mattari ,
man by man ,
and Saul the son of Kis is taken ;
and he sought him ,
but he was not found .
*
And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord , (
note :)
Gr .
does ?(:
note )
Will the man come hither ?
and the Lord said ,
Behold ,
he is hid among the stuff .
*
And he ran and took him thence ,
and he set him in the midst of the people ;
and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards .
*
And Samuel said to all the people ,
Have ye seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself ,
that there is none like to him among you all ?
And all the people took notice ,
and said ,
Let the king live !
*
And Samuel told the people the manner of the king ,
and wrote it in a book ,
and set it before the Lord :
and Samuel sent away all the people ,
and each went to his place .
*
And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa ;
and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched .
*
But evil men said ,
Who is this man that shall save us ?
and they despised him ,
and brought him no gifts .
