gltv@1Samuel:1:8 @ And her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart afflicted? Am I not better to you than ten sons?

gltv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if You will certainly look upon the affliction of Your handmaid, and shall remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, and shall give to Your maidservant a man-child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life; and a razor shall not go up on his head.

gltv@1Samuel:1:12 @ And it happened, when she prayed long before Jehovah, Eli was watching her mouth.

gltv@1Samuel:1:13 @ And Hannah was speaking in her heart; only, her lips moved; but her voice could not be heard. So Eli thought that she was drunk.

gltv@1Samuel:1:14 @ And Eli said to her, How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you.

gltv@1Samuel:1:15 @ And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord; I am a woman pained in spirit. And I have not drunk wine or fermented drink, but I am pouring out my soul before Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:1:19 @ And they rose up early in the morning and worshiped before Jehovah. And they went back and came to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah knew his wife Hannah, and Jehovah remembered her.

gltv@1Samuel:1:20 @ And it happened when the time had come around, Hannah conceived and bore a son. And she called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:1:21 @ And the man Elkanah and all his house went up to sacrifice to Jehovah a sacrifice of the days, and to vow his vow.

gltv@1Samuel:1:22 @ And Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, Until the child is weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah and remain there forever.

gltv@1Samuel:1:23 @ And her husband Elkanah said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes. Remain until you wean him. Only, may Jehovah confirm His word. And the woman remained, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.

gltv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she brought him up with her, along with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine. And she brought him to the house of Jehovah at Shiloh. And the child was a young one.

gltv@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, O my lord, may your soul live! My lord, I am the woman who stood with you here, to pray to Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:1:27 @ I prayed for this boy, and Jehovah has given my petition which I asked of Him to me.

gltv@1Samuel:1:28 @ And I also have loaned him to Jehovah; all the days which he shall be, he is loaned to Jehovah. And he worshiped there before Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:1 @ And Hannah prayed and said: My heart has exulted in Jehovah; my horn has been high in Jehovah. My mouth has been large over my enemies; for I have rejoiced in Your salvation.

gltv@1Samuel:2:2 @ None is holy like Jehovah, for there is none except You; yea, there is no rock like our God.

gltv@1Samuel:2:3 @ Do not multiply your haughty words; let not arrogance go out from your mouth; for Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.

gltv@1Samuel:2:4 @ Bows of the mighty are broken; and they that stumble gird on strength.

gltv@1Samuel:2:5 @ They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry have ceased, while the barren has borne seven; yea, she who had many sons has languished.

gltv@1Samuel:2:6 @ Jehovah kills, and keeps alive; He brings down and causes to go to Sheol.

gltv@1Samuel:2:7 @ Jehovah brings down, and He gives riches; He brings low; yea, He lifts up high.

gltv@1Samuel:2:8 @ He raised the poor from the dust; He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to cause them to sit with nobles; yea, He caused them to inherit a throne of honor; for to Jehovah are the pillars of the earth; and He sets the habitable world on them.

gltv@1Samuel:2:9 @ He keeps the feet of His saints, and the wicked are silenced in darkness; for man does not become mighty by power.

gltv@1Samuel:2:10 @ They who strive with Jehovah will be smashed; He thunders in the heavens against him; Jehovah judges the ends of the earth, and gives strength to His king, and exalts the horn of His anointed.

gltv@1Samuel:2:11 @ And Elkanah went to Ramah, to his house. And the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.

gltv@1Samuel:2:12 @ And the sons of Eli were sons of worthlessness; they did not know Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the custom of the priests with the people was: any man offering a sacrifice, (and the priest's servant came when the flesh was boiling, with the three-toothed hook in his hand),

gltv@1Samuel:2:14 @ even he stuck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook brought up, the priest took for himself. So they did to all Israel who came in there to Shiloh.

gltv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Yea, before they made the fat to smoke, then the priest's servant came in. And he said to the man who was sacrificing, Give meat to roast for the priest; and he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.

gltv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, Let the fat be made to smoke as the day, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would say, No, but you shall give now. And if not, I will take it by force.

gltv@1Samuel:2:17 @ And the sin of the young men was very great before Jehovah, for the men had despised the offering of Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:18 @ And Samuel was serving before Jehovah, a boy girded with an ephod of linen.

gltv@1Samuel:2:19 @ And his mother made a small coat for him, and she brought it up to him from year to year, as she came up with her husband to offer the sacrifice of the days.

gltv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah shall give you seed of this woman, because of the petition she prayed to Jehovah. And they went away to their place.

gltv@1Samuel:2:21 @ So Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew up with Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:22 @ And Eli was very old, and had heard all that his sons did to Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled by troops at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

gltv@1Samuel:2:23 @ And he said to them, Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil doings from all these people.

gltv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No my sons, for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of Jehovah to transgress.

gltv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, then God shall judge him. But if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall pray for him? But they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah desired to execute them.

gltv@1Samuel:2:26 @ And the boy Samuel went on, growing both in stature and in good looks, both with Jehovah and also with men.

gltv@1Samuel:2:27 @ And a man of God came to Eli, and said to him, So says Jehovah: Did I reveal Myself plainly to the house of your father when they were in Egypt, at the house of Pharaoh,

gltv@1Samuel:2:28 @ even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be priest to Me, to go up on My altar, to cause incense to smoke, to bear an ephod before Me? And did I give to your father's house all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?

gltv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I commanded in My habitation? And why do you honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of My people?

gltv@1Samuel:2:30 @ So says Jehovah the God of Israel, I said indeed that your house and your father's house should walk before Me until forever. But now Jehovah says, Be it far from Me! For those who honor Me, I will honor; and those despising Me will be despicable.

gltv@1Samuel:2:31 @ Behold, days come when I shall cut off your arm, and the arm of your father's house, that no old man shall be in your house.

gltv@1Samuel:2:32 @ And you shall see an adversary in My habitation, in all that he does good with Israel. And there shall not be an old man in your house all the days.

gltv@1Samuel:2:33 @ And the man of yours that I shall not cut off from My altar shall be to cause your eyes to fail, and to grieve your soul. And all the increase of your house shall die young men.

gltv@1Samuel:2:34 @ And this shall be the sign to you, that which shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day the both of them shall die.

gltv@1Samuel:2:35 @ And I shall raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He shall do all that is in My heart and in My soul. And I shall build for him a sure house; and he shall walk before My anointed all the days.

gltv@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall be, everyone who is left in your house shall come in to bow to him for a wage of silver and a loaf of bread. And they shall say, please admit me into one of the priest's offices, to eat a bit of bread.

gltv@1Samuel:3:1 @ And the boy Samuel was serving Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days. There was no breaking-through vision.

gltv@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it happened at that time, Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes had begun to be dim; he was not able to see.

gltv@1Samuel:3:3 @ And the lamp of God had not yet gone out. And Samuel was lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God rested.

gltv@1Samuel:3:4 @ And Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Behold, I am here.

gltv@1Samuel:3:5 @ And he ran to Eli and said, Behold, I am here. For you have called to me. And he said, I did not call. Go back and lie down. And he went and lay down.

gltv@1Samuel:3:6 @ and Jehovah again called Samuel. And Samuel rose up and went to Eli and said, Behold, I am here, for you have called me. And he said, I have not called, my son. Go back and lie down.

gltv@1Samuel:3:7 @ And Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, and the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him.

gltv@1Samuel:3:8 @ And Jehovah again called Samuel, the third time. And he rose up and went to Eli and said, Behold, I am here, for you have called me. And Eli understood at Jehovah was calling the boy.

gltv@1Samuel:3:9 @ And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if One calls you, even you shall say, Speak, O Jehovah, for Your servant hears you. And Samuel lay down in his place.

gltv@1Samuel:3:10 @ And Jehovah came and stood, and called as the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for Your servant hears You.

gltv@1Samuel:3:11 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold! I am doing a thing in Israel at which the two ears of every one hearing it shall tingle.

gltv@1Samuel:3:12 @ In that day I will confirm to Eli all that I have spoken to his house, beginning and making an end.

gltv@1Samuel:3:13 @ And I declare to him that I am judging his house forever, for the iniquity which he has known; for his sons have been making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them.

gltv@1Samuel:3:14 @ And so I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for, by sacrifice or by offering, until forever.

gltv@1Samuel:3:15 @ And Samuel lay until the morning. And he opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

gltv@1Samuel:3:16 @ And Eli called Samuel and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Behold, I am here.

gltv@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, What is the word which He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you keep back anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you.

gltv@1Samuel:3:18 @ And Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide from him. And he said, It is Jehovah; He does which is good in His eyes.

gltv@1Samuel:3:19 @ And Samuel grew up, and Jehovah was with him, and did not let any of his words fall to the earth.

gltv@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel knew, from Dan even to Beersheba, that Samuel was confirmed to be a prophet to Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:3:21 @ And Jehovah again appeared in Shiloh. For Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel was revealed to all Israel. And Israel went out to meet the Philistines for battle. And they pitched beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

gltv@1Samuel:4:2 @ And the Philistines set themselves in order to meet Israel, and the battle was spread. And Israel was stricken before the Philistines. And they struck about four thousand men from the battle line in the field.

gltv@1Samuel:4:3 @ And the people came into the camp, and the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah stricken us today before the Philistines? Let us take the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to us, and let it come into our midst; and it will save us from the hand of our enemies.

gltv@1Samuel:4:4 @ And the people sent to Shiloh, and they took from there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of hosts, who dwells between the cherubs. And the two sons of Eli were there with the ark of the covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas.

gltv@1Samuel:4:5 @ And it happened, when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted a great shout, and the earth shook.

gltv@1Samuel:4:6 @ And the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, and said, What is the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they saw that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.

gltv@1Samuel:4:7 @ And the Philistines were afraid, for they said God has come to the camp. And they said, Woe to us! For never has it been like this before.

gltv@1Samuel:4:8 @ Woe to us! Who will deliver us out of the hand of these great gods? These are the gods who struck Egypt with every plague in the wilderness.

gltv@1Samuel:4:9 @ Make your selves strong and become men, O Philistines, lest you become slaves to the Hebrews, as they were slaves to you. Then you must be men and fight.

gltv@1Samuel:4:10 @ And the Philistines fought, and Israel was beaten. And they each one fled to his tent. And the blow was very great, and thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.

gltv@1Samuel:4:11 @ And the ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli died, Hophni and Phinehas.

gltv@1Samuel:4:12 @ And a man of Benjamin ran out of the battle line and came to Shiloh on that day. And his clothes were torn, and earth on his head.

gltv@1Samuel:4:13 @ And he came in. And, behold, Eli was sitting on the seat by the side of the highway, watching. For his heart trembled for the ark of God. And the man came in to report in the city. And all the city cried out.

gltv@1Samuel:4:14 @ And Eli heard the noise of the cry, and said, What is the noise of this tumult? And the man hurried and came and reported to Eli.

gltv@1Samuel:4:15 @ And Eli was ninety eight years old, and his eyes were set, and he was not able to see.

gltv@1Samuel:4:16 @ And the man said to Eli, I am he who has come from the ranks, and I fled today out of the battle line. And he said, How did the matter go, my son?

gltv@1Samuel:4:17 @ And he bearing the news answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines; and also there has been a great slaughter among the people. And also your two sons have died, Hophni and Phinehas. And the ark of God has been taken.

gltv@1Samuel:4:18 @ And it happened when he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward, by the side of the gate. And his neck was broken, and he died. For the man was old and heavy. And he judged Israel forty years.

gltv@1Samuel:4:19 @ And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, about to bear. And she heard the report of the taking of the ark of God, and that her father-in-law and her husband had died. And she bowed and bore, for her pains had turned in on her.

gltv@1Samuel:4:20 @ And at the time of her death, when the women who stood by her said, Fear not, for you have borne a son; she did not even answer, nor set her heart.

gltv@1Samuel:4:21 @ And she called the child Ichabod, saying, The glory has departed from Israel, because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

gltv@1Samuel:4:22 @ And she said, The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been taken.

gltv@1Samuel:5:1 @ And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

gltv@1Samuel:5:2 @ And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon.

gltv@1Samuel:5:3 @ And the men of Ashdod rose early on the next day. And, behold! Dagon had fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah! And they took Dagon and put it back in its place.

gltv@1Samuel:5:4 @ And they rose early in the morning on the next day; and, behold! Dagon had fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms of its hands, were cut off at the threshold. Only the flat part had been left to him.

gltv@1Samuel:5:5 @ On account of this the priests of Dagon, and all those coming into the house of Dagon, do not step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod until this day.

gltv@1Samuel:5:6 @ And the hand of Jehovah was heavy on the men of Ashdod. And He wasted them, and struck them with hemorrhoids, Ashdod and its borders.

gltv@1Samuel:5:7 @ And the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, and said, The ark of God of Israel shall not remain with us, for His hand has been hard on us, and on our god Dagon.

gltv@1Samuel:5:8 @ And they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines to them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they said, Let the ark of the God of Israel go around to Gath. And they brought around the ark of the God of Israel.

gltv@1Samuel:5:9 @ And it happened after they had brought it around, the hand of Jehovah was against the city with a very great destruction. And He struck the men of the city, from the least to the greatest; and hemorrhoids broke forth in them.

gltv@1Samuel:5:10 @ And they sent the ark of God around to Ekron. And it happened as the ark of God came into Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought around the ark of the God of Israel to me to put me to death, even my people.

gltv@1Samuel:5:11 @ And they sent and gathered all the rulers of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it return to its place. And it shall not put me to death, even my people. For there had been a great destruction throughout all the city. The hand of God had been very heavy there.

gltv@1Samuel:25:26 @ And now, my lord, as Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, in that Jehovah has withheld you from coming in with blood, and delivering your hand for you; even now let your enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil to my lord.
