rotherham 1Samuel:15-16
rotherham@1Samuel:15:1 @ And Samuel said unto Saul, It was, me, Yahweh sent to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel, now, therefore, hearken thou to the voice of Yahwehs words.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I have well considered what Amalek did unto Israelhow he lay in wait for him in the way, when he came up out of Egypt.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:3 @ Now, go and smite Amalek, and devote ye to destruction all that he hath, and spare him not, but thou shalt slay both man and woman, both child and suckling, both ox and sheep, both camel and ass.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:4 @ So then Saul called together the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:5 @ And Saul came as far as the city of Amalek, and stirred up strife in the ravine.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:6 @ Then said Saul unto the Kenites Go, depart, get you down out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them, yet, ye, dealt in lovingkindness, with all the sons of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed out of the midst of the Amalekites.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul smote Amalek, from Havilah, till thou enterest Shur, which is over against Egypt.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:8 @ And he took Agag, king of Amalek, alive, but, all the people, devoted he to destruction at the edge of the sword.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and the oxen and the lambs, also the fatlings, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction, but, all the cattle that was contemptible and diseased, that, devoted they to destruction.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:10 @ Then came the word of Yahweh unto Samuel, saying
rotherham@1Samuel:15:11 @ I am grieved that I made Saul to be king, for he hath turned back from following me, and, my words, hath he not established. And it was vexing to Samuel, so that he made outcry unto Yahweh, all the night.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:12 @ And Samuel rose early to meet Saul, in the morning, and it was told Samuel, saying Saul having come to Carmel, and lo! having set him up a sign, hath gone round, and passed over, and descended to Gilgal.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:13 @ And Samuel came unto Saul, and Saul said unto him Blessed, be thou by Yahweh: I have established the word of Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:14 @ And Samuel said, What then is this bleating of sheep, in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen, which I can hear?
rotherham@1Samuel:15:15 @ Then said Saul From the Amalekites, have they brought them in; in that the people spared the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto Yahweh thy God, but, the rest, have we devoted to destruction.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:16 @ Then said Samuel unto Saul, Stay, and let me tell thee, that which Yahweh hath spoken unto me, this night. And he said to him Speak.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, Was it not, when, little, thou wast in thine own eyes, that thou wast made, head of the tribes of Israel, and that Yahweh anointed thee to be king over Israel?
rotherham@1Samuel:15:18 @ So then Yahweh sent thee on a journey, and said Go, and devastate to destruction, the sinnersthe Amalekites, and make war against them, until they have consumed them.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:19 @ Wherefore, then, didst thou not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, but didst rush upon the spoil, and do that which was wrong in the sight of Yahweh?
rotherham@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said unto Samuel As indeed I have hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, and have been on the journey on which Yahweh sent me, and have brought in Agag, king of Amalek, and, the Amalekites, have I devoted to destruction.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:21 @ And the people took, of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things so devoted, to sacrifice unto Yahweh thy God, in Gilgal.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:22 @ Then said Samuel Doth that which is pleasing unto Yahweh consist in ascending-offerings and sacrifices, So much as in hearkening unto the voice of Yahweh? Lo! to hearken, is, better, than, sacrifice. And, to give heed, than, the fat of rams;
rotherham@1Samuel:15:23 @ For, as the sin of divination, is, rebelliousness, and, as transgression with household gods, is, stubbornness, Because thou hast rejected the word of Yahweh, therefore hath he rejected thee from being king.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:24 @ Then said Saul unto Samuel I have sinned; for I have transgressed the bidding of Yahweh, and thy words, for I feared the people, and hearkened unto their voice.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now, therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may bow down unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not turn again with thee, Because thou hast rejected the word of Yahweh, therefore hath Yahweh rejected thee from being king over Israel.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:27 @ And, when Samuel turned about to go away, then laid he hold of the skirt of his robe, and it was rent.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:28 @ And Samuel said unto him, Yahweh hath rent the kingdom of Israel from off thee, to-day, and will give it unto a neighbour of thine, who is better than thou.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:29 @ Moreover also, the Eminence of Israel, will not lie, neither will he repent, For no, iron of earth, is, he, to repent!
rotherham@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said: I have sinned, Now, honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, then will I bow down unto Yahweh thy God.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:31 @ So then Samuel turned again, after Sauland Saul bowed down unto Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then said Samuel Bring ye near unto me Agag, king of Amalek, And Agag came unto him, in fetters. Then said Agag, Surely, terrible, is the bitterness of death!
rotherham@1Samuel:15:33 @ And Samuel said, As women have been made childless by thy sword, So, childless among women, shall be, thine own mother. And Samuel cut Agag asunder before Yahweh, in Gilgal.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:34 @ Then Samuel departed unto Ramah, but, Saul, went up unto his own house, at Gibeah of Saul.
rotherham@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel did no more see Saul, until the day of his death, for Samuel pined for Saul, but, Yahweh, was grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:1 @ And Yahweh said unto Samuel How long, art thou going to pine for Saul, seeing that, I, have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill thy horn with oil, and come! let me send thee unto Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have provided me, among his sons, a king.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, How can I go? As soon as Saul heareth, he will slay me. Then said Yahweh, A heifer, take thou with thee, and say, To sacrifice unto Yahweh, am I come.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:3 @ Then shall thou bid Jesse to the sacrifice, when, I, will let thee know what thou must do, so shalt thou anoint for me him whom I shall name unto thee.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:4 @ And Samuel did that which Yahweh had spoken, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him, and one said Peaceably, comest thou?
rotherham@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said Peaceably: to sacrifice unto Yahweh, am I come. Hallow yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he hallowed Jesse and his sons, and bade them to the sacrifice.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:6 @ And it came to pass, when they entered, that he looked upon Eliab, and said to himself, Surely, before Yahweh, is his Anointed.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:7 @ But Yahweh said unto Samuel Do not regard his countenance, or the height of his stature, for I have rejected him, for it is not what man looketh to but what God looketh to. For, man, looketh to the outward appearance, but, Yahweh, looketh to the heart.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:8 @ Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel, and he said, Neither of this one, hath Yahweh made choice.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by, and he said Nor of this one, hath Yahweh made choice.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:10 @ So Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel, and Samuel said unto Jesse, Yahweh hath not made choice of these.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:11 @ Then said Samuel unto Jesse Are these all the young men? And he said There yet remaineth, the youngest, but lo! he is tending the sheep. Then said Samuel unto Jesse Do, send, and summon him, for we cannot sit round, until he cometh in hither.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:12 @ So he sent, and brought him in. Now, he, was ruddy, a stripling with handsome eyes, and noble mien. Then said Yahweh Riseanoint him, for, this, is, he.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:13 @ And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren. And the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon David, from that day forward. Then arose Samuel, and went his way unto Ramah.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:14 @ But, the spirit of Yahweh, departed from Saul, and there terrified him a sad spirit, from Yahweh.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:15 @ Then said the servants of Saul unto him, Lo! we pray thee, a sad superhuman spirit, doth terrify thee:
rotherham@1Samuel:16:16 @ Pray let our lord bid thy servants before thee, seek out a man, skilled in playing on the lyre, so shall it be, when a sad superhuman spirit cometh on thee, then shall he play with his hand, and thou shalt be joyful.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:17 @ And Saul said unto his servants, I pray you, look out for me a man that excelleth in playing, and bring him in unto me.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:18 @ Then responded one of the young men and said Lo! I have seena son of Jesse, the Bethlehemite, skilled in playing, and a mighty man of valour, and a man of war, and of intelligent speech, and a handsome man, and, Yahweh, is with him.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:19 @ So Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send, unto me David thy son, who is with the sheep.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:20 @ Then took Jesse an ass laden with bread, and a skin of wine, and one kid, and sent by the hand of David his son, unto Saul.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:21 @ And David came in unto Saul, and stood before him, and he loved him greatly, and he became his armour-bearer.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:22 @ And Saul sent unto Jesse, saying, I pray thee, let David stand before me, for he hath found favour in mine eyes.
rotherham@1Samuel:16:23 @ And so it used to be, when a superhuman spirit came unto Saul, then would David take the lyre, and play with his hand, and Saul would be refreshed, and be joyful, and, the sad spirit, would depart from him.
rotherham@1Samuel:17:1 @ And the Philistines gathered together their hosts, unto battle, and they were gathered together unto Socoh, which belongeth unto Judah, and they encamped between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim;
