When ye have transgressed<S>5674</S> the covenant<S>1285</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, which he commanded<S>6680</S> you, and have gone<S>1980</S> and served<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> yourselves to them; then shall the anger<S>639</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> be kindled<S>2734</S> against you, and ye shall perish<S>6</S> quickly<S>4120</S> from off the good<S>2896</S> land<S>776</S> which he hath given<S>5414</S> to you.

And Joshua<S>3091</S> gathered<S>622</S> all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>, and called<S>7121</S> for the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and for their heads<S>7218</S>, and for their judges<S>8199</S>, and for their officers<S>7860</S>; and they presented<S>3320</S> themselves before<S>6440</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Your fathers<S>1</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> on the other side<S>5676</S> of the river<S>5104</S> of old<S>5769</S>, <i>even </i>Terah<S>8646</S>, the father<S>1</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>, and the father<S>1</S> of Nahor<S>5152</S>: and they served<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And I took<S>3947</S> your father<S>1</S> Abraham<S>85</S> from the other side<S>5676</S> of the river<S>5104</S>, and led<S>3212</S> him throughout all the land<S>776</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>, and multiplied<S>7235</S> his seed<S>2233</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him Isaac<S>3327</S>.


text:
And I gave<S>5414</S> to Isaac<S>3327</S> Jacob<S>3290</S> and Esau<S>6215</S>: and I gave<S>5414</S> to Esau<S>6215</S> mount<S>2022</S> Seir<S>8165</S>, to possess<S>3423</S> it; but Jacob<S>3290</S> and his children<S>1121</S> went down<S>3381</S> into Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
I sent<S>7971</S> Moses<S>4872</S> also and Aaron<S>175</S>, and I plagued<S>5062</S> Egypt<S>4714</S>, according to that which<S>834</S> I did<S>6213</S> among<S>7130</S> them: and afterward<S>310</S> I brought you out<S>3318</S>.


text:
And I brought<S>3318</S> your fathers<S>1</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>: and ye came<S>935</S> to the sea<S>3220</S>; and the Egyptians<S>4714</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> your fathers<S>1</S> with chariots<S>7393</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S> to the Red<S>5488</S> sea<S>3220</S>.


text:
And when they cried<S>6817</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, he put<S>7760</S> darkness<S>3990</S> between you and the Egyptians<S>4713</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the sea<S>3220</S> upon them, and covered<S>3680</S> them; and your eyes<S>5869</S> have seen<S>7200</S> what I have done<S>6213</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S>: and ye dwelt<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> a long<S>7227</S> season<S>3117</S>.


text:
And I brought<S>935</S> you into the land<S>776</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, who dwelt<S>3427</S> on the other side<S>5676</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S>; and they fought<S>3898</S> with you: and I gave<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S>, that ye might possess<S>3423</S> their land<S>776</S>; and I destroyed<S>8045</S> them from before<S>6440</S> you.


text:
Then Balak<S>1111</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zippor<S>6834</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, arose<S>6965</S> and warred<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> Balaam<S>1109</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Beor<S>1160</S> to curse<S>7043</S> you:


text:
But I would<S>14</S> not hearken<S>8085</S> to Balaam<S>1109</S>; therefore he blessed<S>1288</S> you still<S>1288</S>: so I delivered<S>5337</S> you out of his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And ye went over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Jericho<S>3405</S>: and the men<S>1167</S> of Jericho<S>3405</S> fought<S>3898</S> against you, the Amorites<S>567</S>, and the Perizzites<S>6522</S>, and the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, and the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and the Girgashites<S>1622</S>, the Hivites<S>2340</S>, and the Jebusites<S>2983</S>; and I delivered<S>5414</S> them into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And I sent<S>7971</S> the hornet<S>6880</S> before<S>6440</S> you, which drove them out<S>1644</S> from before<S>6440</S> you, <i>even</i> the two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>; <i>but</i> not with thy sword<S>2719</S>, nor with thy bow<S>7198</S>.


text:
And I have given<S>5414</S> you a land<S>776</S> for which ye did not labour<S>3021</S>, and cities<S>5892</S> which ye built<S>1129</S> not, and ye dwell<S>3427</S> in them; of the vineyards<S>3754</S> and oliveyards<S>2132</S> which ye planted<S>5193</S> not do ye eat<S>398</S>.


text:
Now therefore fear<S>3372</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him in sincerity<S>8549</S> and in truth<S>571</S>: and put away<S>5493</S> the gods<S>430</S> which your fathers<S>1</S> served<S>5647</S> on the other side<S>5676</S> of the river<S>5104</S>, and in Egypt<S>4714</S>; and serve<S>5647</S> ye the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And if it seemeth evil<S>7489</S> to you<S>4310</S> to serve<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, choose<S>977</S> for yourselves this day<S>3117</S> whom<S>5869</S> ye will serve<S>5647</S>; whether the gods<S>430</S> which your fathers<S>1</S> served<S>5647</S> that <i>were</i> on the other side<S>5676</S> of the river<S>5104</S>, or the gods<S>430</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, in whose land<S>776</S> ye dwell<S>3427</S>: but as for me and my house<S>1004</S>, we will serve<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Be it far from us<S>2486</S> that we should forsake<S>5800</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, to serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>;


text:
For the LORD<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, he <i>it is</i> that brought us<S>5927</S> and our fathers<S>1</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from the house<S>1004</S> of bondage<S>5650</S>, and who did<S>6213</S> those great<S>1419</S> signs<S>226</S> in our sight<S>5869</S>, and preserved<S>8104</S> us in all the way<S>1870</S> in which we went<S>1980</S>, and among all the people<S>5971</S> through<S>7130</S> whom we passed<S>5674</S>:


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> drove out<S>1644</S> from before<S>6440</S> us all the people<S>5971</S>, even the Amorites<S>567</S> who dwelt<S>3427</S> in the land<S>776</S>: <i>therefore</i> will we also serve<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>; for he <i>is</i> our God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, Ye cannot<S>3201</S> serve<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>: for he <i>is</i> an holy<S>6918</S> God<S>430</S>; he <i>is</i> a jealous<S>7072</S> God<S>410</S>; he will not forgive<S>5375</S> your transgressions<S>6588</S> nor your sins<S>2403</S>. <n>holy God: Heb. holy Gods</n>


text:
If ye forsake<S>5800</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S>, then he will turn<S>7725</S> and do you harm<S>7489</S>, and consume<S>3615</S> you, after<S>310</S> that he hath done you good<S>3190</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Joshua<S>3091</S>, Nay; but we will serve<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, Ye <i>are </i>witnesses<S>5707</S> against yourselves that ye have chosen<S>977</S> you the LORD<S>3068</S>, to serve<S>5647</S> him. And they said<S>559</S>, <i>We are </i>witnesses<S>5707</S>.


text:
Now therefore put away<S>5493</S>, <i>said he</i>, the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> which <i>are </i>among<S>7130</S> you, and incline<S>5186</S> your heart<S>3824</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Joshua<S>3091</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> will we serve<S>5647</S>, and his voice<S>6963</S> will we obey<S>8085</S>.


text:
So Joshua<S>3091</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with the people<S>5971</S> that day<S>3117</S>, and set<S>7760</S> them a statute<S>2706</S> and an ordinance<S>4941</S> in Shechem<S>7927</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> wrote<S>3789</S> these words<S>1697</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of God<S>430</S>, and took<S>3947</S> a great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S>, and set it up<S>6965</S> there under an oak<S>427</S>, that <i>was</i> by the sanctuary<S>4720</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, Behold, this stone<S>68</S> shall be a witness<S>5713</S> to us; for it hath heard<S>8085</S> all the words<S>561</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S> to us: it shall be therefore a witness<S>5713</S> to you, lest ye deny<S>3584</S> your God<S>430</S>.


text:
So Joshua<S>3091</S> let the people<S>5971</S> depart<S>7971</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his inheritance<S>5159</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, that Joshua<S>3091</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nun<S>5126</S>, the servant<S>5650</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, died<S>4191</S>, <i>being</i> an hundred<S>3967</S> and ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>.


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> him in the border<S>1366</S> of his inheritance<S>5159</S> in Timnathserah<S>8556</S>, which <i>is</i> in mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, on the north side<S>6828</S> of the hill<S>2022</S> of Gaash<S>1608</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> served<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>, and all the days<S>3117</S> of the elders<S>2205</S> that outlived<S>748</S> <S>3117</S> <S>310</S> Joshua<S>3091</S>, and who had known<S>3045</S> all the works<S>4639</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, that he had done<S>6213</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>. <n>overlived…: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua</n>


text:
And the bones<S>6106</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S>, which the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> brought<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, they buried<S>6912</S> in Shechem<S>7927</S>, in a parcel<S>2513</S> of ground<S>7704</S> which Jacob<S>3290</S> bought<S>7069</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Hamor<S>2544</S> the father<S>1</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> for an hundred<S>3967</S> pieces of silver<S>7192</S>: and it became the inheritance<S>5159</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S>. <n>pieces…: or, lambs</n>


text:
And Eleazar<S>499</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> died<S>4191</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in a hill<S>1389</S> <i>that pertained to </i>Phinehas<S>6372</S> his son<S>1121</S>, which was given<S>5414</S> him in mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>.


text:
Now after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S> it came to pass, that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> asked<S>7592</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Who shall go up<S>5927</S> for us against the Canaanites<S>3669</S> first<S>8462</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> against them?


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Judah<S>3063</S> shall go up<S>5927</S>: behold, I have delivered<S>5414</S> the land<S>776</S> into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> said<S>559</S> to Simeon<S>8095</S> his brother<S>251</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> with me into my lot<S>1486</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S>; and I likewise will go<S>1980</S> with thee into thy lot<S>1486</S>. So Simeon<S>8095</S> went<S>3212</S> with him.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> went up<S>5927</S>; and the LORD<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> and the Perizzites<S>6522</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>: and they slew<S>5221</S> of them in Bezek<S>966</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And they found<S>4672</S> Adonibezek<S>137</S> in Bezek<S>966</S>: and they fought<S>3898</S> against him, and they slew<S>5221</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> and the Perizzites<S>6522</S>.


text:
But Adonibezek<S>137</S> fled<S>5127</S>; and they pursued<S>7291</S> <S>310</S> him, and caught<S>270</S> him, and cut off<S>7112</S> his thumbs<S>931</S> <S>3027</S> and his great toes<S>7272</S>.


text:
And Adonibezek<S>137</S> said<S>559</S>, seventy<S>7657</S> kings<S>4428</S>, having their thumbs<S>931</S> <S>3027</S> and their great toes<S>7272</S> cut off<S>7112</S>, gathered<S>3950</S> <i>their food</i> under my table<S>7979</S>: as I have done<S>6213</S>, so God<S>430</S> hath repaid<S>7999</S> me. And they brought<S>935</S> him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and there he died<S>4191</S>. <n>their thumbs…: Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet gathered: or, gleaned</n>


text:
Now the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> had fought<S>3898</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and had taken<S>3920</S> it, and smitten<S>5221</S> it with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, and set<S>7971</S> the city<S>5892</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And afterward<S>310</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went down<S>3381</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, that dwelt<S>3427</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S>, and in the south<S>5045</S>, and in the valley<S>8219</S>. <n>valley: or, low country</n>


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>3212</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S> that dwelt<S>3427</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>: (now the name<S>8034</S> of Hebron<S>2275</S> before<S>6440</S> <i>was </i>Kirjatharba<S>7153</S>:) and they slew<S>5221</S> Sheshai<S>8344</S>, and Ahiman<S>289</S>, and Talmai<S>8526</S>.


text:
And from there he went<S>3212</S> against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Debir<S>1688</S>: and the name<S>8034</S> of Debir<S>1688</S> before<S>6440</S> <i>was </i>Kirjathsepher<S>7158</S>:


text:
And Othniel<S>6274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kenaz<S>7073</S>, Caleb’s<S>3612</S> younger<S>6996</S> brother<S>251</S>, took<S>3920</S> it: and he gave<S>5414</S> him Achsah<S>5915</S> his daughter<S>1323</S> for a wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when she came<S>935</S> <i>to him</i>, that she moved<S>5496</S> him to ask<S>7592</S> of her father<S>1</S> a field<S>7704</S>: and she got off<S>6795</S> <i>her </i>donkey<S>2543</S>; and Caleb<S>3612</S> said<S>559</S> to her, What wilt thou?


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to him, Give<S>3051</S> me a blessing<S>1293</S>: for thou hast given<S>5414</S> me a south<S>5045</S> land<S>776</S>; give<S>5414</S> me also springs<S>1543</S> of water<S>4325</S>. And Caleb<S>3612</S> gave<S>5414</S> her the upper<S>5942</S> springs<S>1543</S> and the lower<S>8482</S> springs<S>1543</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of the Kenite<S>7017</S>, Moses<S>4872</S>’ father in law<S>2859</S>, went up<S>5927</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of palm trees<S>8558</S> <S>5899</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, which <i>lieth</i> in the south<S>5045</S> of Arad<S>6166</S>; and they went<S>3212</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> among<S>854</S> the people<S>5971</S>.

And the anger<S>639</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was hot<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hands<S>3027</S> of spoilers<S>8154</S> that spoiled<S>8155</S> them, and he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hands<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> around<S>5439</S> <i>them</i>, so that they could<S>3201</S> not any longer<S>5750</S> stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> their enemies<S>341</S>.

Wherever they went out<S>3318</S>, the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was against them for evil<S>7451</S>, as the LORD<S>3068</S> had said<S>1696</S>, and as the LORD<S>3068</S> had sworn<S>7650</S> to them: and they were greatly<S>3966</S> distressed<S>3334</S>.

Nevertheless the LORD<S>3068</S> raised up<S>6965</S> judges<S>8199</S>, who delivered<S>3467</S> them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of those that spoiled<S>8154</S> them. <n>delivered: Heb. saved</n>

And when the LORD<S>3068</S> raised<S>6965</S> up judges<S>8199</S> for them, then the LORD<S>3068</S> was with the judge<S>8199</S>, and delivered<S>3467</S> them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of the judge<S>8199</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> repented<S>5162</S> because<S>6440</S> of their groanings<S>5009</S> by reason of them that oppressed<S>3905</S> them and burdened<S>1766</S> them.

And he gathered<S>622</S> to him the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> and Amalek<S>6002</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and smote<S>5221</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and possessed<S>3423</S> the city<S>5892</S> of palm trees<S>8558</S> <S>5899</S>.


text:
So the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> served<S>5647</S> Eglon<S>5700</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> eighteen<S>8083</S> <S>6240</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
But when the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, the LORD<S>3068</S> raised them up<S>6965</S> a deliverer<S>3467</S>, Ehud<S>164</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, a man<S>376</S> lefthanded<S>334</S> <S>3225</S>: and by him<S>3027</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> tribute<S>4503</S> to Eglon<S>5700</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>. <n>a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand</n>


text:
But Ehud<S>164</S> made<S>6213</S> him a dagger<S>2719</S> which had two<S>8147</S> edges<S>6366</S>, of a cubit<S>1574</S> length<S>753</S>; and he girded<S>2296</S> it under his raiment<S>4055</S> upon his right<S>3225</S> thigh<S>3409</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>7126</S> the tribute<S>4503</S> to Eglon<S>5700</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and Eglon<S>5700</S> <i>was</i> a very<S>3966</S> fat<S>1277</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And when he had finished<S>3615</S> offering<S>7126</S> the tribute<S>4503</S>, he sent away<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> that bore<S>5375</S> the tribute<S>4503</S>.


text:
But he himself turned back<S>7725</S> at the quarries<S>6456</S> that <i>were</i> by Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I have a secret<S>5643</S> errand<S>1697</S> to thee, O king<S>4428</S>: who said<S>559</S>, Keep silence<S>2013</S>. And all that stood<S>5975</S> by him went out<S>3318</S> from him. <n>quarries: or, graven images</n>


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> came<S>935</S> to him; and he was sitting<S>3427</S> in a summer<S>4747</S> parlour<S>5944</S>, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud<S>164</S> said<S>559</S>, I have a message<S>1697</S> from God<S>430</S> to thee. And he arose<S>6965</S> from <i>his </i>seat<S>3678</S>. <n>a summer…: Heb. a parlour of cooling</n>


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> put forth<S>7971</S> his left<S>8040</S> hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the dagger<S>2719</S> from his right<S>3225</S> thigh<S>3409</S>, and thrust<S>8628</S> it into his belly<S>990</S>:


text:
And the handle<S>5325</S> also entered<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> the blade<S>3851</S>; and the fat<S>2459</S> closed<S>5462</S> upon<S>1157</S> the blade<S>3851</S>, so that he could not draw<S>8025</S> the dagger<S>2719</S> out of his belly<S>990</S>; and the dirt<S>6574</S> came out<S>3318</S>. <n>the dirt…: or, it came out at the buttocks</n>


text:
Then Ehud<S>164</S> went forth<S>3318</S> through the porch<S>4528</S>, and shut<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the parlour<S>5944</S> upon him, and locked<S>5274</S> them.


text:
When he had gone out<S>3318</S>, his servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S>; and when they saw<S>7200</S> that, behold, the doors<S>1817</S> of the parlour<S>5944</S> <i>were </i>locked<S>5274</S>, they said<S>559</S>, Surely he covereth<S>5526</S> his feet<S>7272</S> in his summer<S>4747</S> chamber<S>2315</S>. <n>covereth…: or, doeth his easement</n>


text:
And they tarried<S>2342</S> till they were ashamed<S>954</S>: and, behold, he opened<S>6605</S> not the doors<S>1817</S> of the parlour<S>5944</S>; therefore they took<S>3947</S> a key<S>4668</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> <i>them</i>: and, behold, their lord<S>113</S> lay<S>5307</S> dead<S>4191</S> on the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> escaped<S>4422</S> while they tarried<S>4102</S>, and passed beyond<S>5674</S> the quarries<S>6456</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S> to Seirath<S>8167</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when he had come<S>935</S>, that he blew<S>8628</S> a trumpet<S>7782</S> in the mountain<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went down<S>3381</S> with him from the mount<S>2022</S>, and he before<S>6440</S> them.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, Follow<S>7291</S> <S>310</S> me: for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> your enemies<S>341</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>. And they went down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> him, and took<S>3920</S> the fords<S>4569</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S> toward Moab<S>4124</S>, and permitted<S>5414</S> not a man<S>376</S> to pass over<S>5674</S>.


text:
And they slew<S>5221</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> at that time<S>6256</S> about ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, all stout<S>8082</S>, and all men<S>376</S> of valour<S>2428</S>; and there escaped<S>4422</S> not a man<S>376</S>. <n>lusty: Heb. fat</n>


text:
So Moab<S>4124</S> was subdued<S>3665</S> that day<S>3117</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And the land<S>776</S> had rest<S>8252</S> eighty<S>8084</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him was Shamgar<S>8044</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Anath<S>6067</S>, who slew<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> with an ox<S>1241</S> goad<S>4451</S>: and he also delivered<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> again<S>3254</S> did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, after Ehud<S>164</S> was dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Jabin<S>2985</S> king<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>, that reigned<S>4427</S> in Hazor<S>2674</S>; the captain<S>8269</S> of whose host<S>6635</S> <i>was </i>Sisera<S>5516</S>, who dwelt<S>3427</S> in Harosheth<S>2800</S> of the Gentiles<S>1471</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>6817</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>: for he had nine<S>8672</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S> of iron<S>1270</S>; and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> he mightily<S>2394</S> oppressed<S>3905</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Deborah<S>1683</S>, a prophetess<S>5031</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Lapidoth<S>3941</S>, she judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> at that time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And she dwelt<S>3427</S> under the palm tree<S>8560</S> of Deborah<S>1683</S> between Ramah<S>7414</S> and Bethel<S>1008</S> in mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>: and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> to her for judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
And she sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> Barak<S>1301</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abinoam<S>42</S> from Kedeshnaphtali<S>6943</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Hath not the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, <i>saying</i>, Go<S>3212</S> and draw<S>4900</S> toward mount<S>2022</S> Tabor<S>8396</S>, and take<S>3947</S> with thee ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S> and of the children<S>1121</S> of Zebulun<S>2074</S>?


text:
And I will draw<S>4900</S> to thee to the river<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of Jabin’s<S>2985</S> army<S>6635</S>, with his chariots<S>7393</S> and his multitude<S>1995</S>; and I will deliver<S>5414</S> him into thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Barak<S>1301</S> said<S>559</S> to her, If thou wilt go<S>3212</S> with me, then I will go<S>1980</S>: but if thou wilt not go<S>3212</S> with me, <i>then</i> I will not go<S>3212</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, I will surely<S>1980</S> go<S>3212</S> with thee: however<S>657</S> the journey<S>1870</S> that thou takest<S>1980</S> shall not be for thy honour<S>8597</S>; for the LORD<S>3068</S> shall sell<S>4376</S> Sisera<S>5516</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of a woman<S>802</S>. And Deborah<S>1683</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> with Barak<S>1301</S> to Kedesh<S>6943</S>.


text:
And Barak<S>1301</S> called<S>2199</S> Zebulun<S>2074</S> and Naphtali<S>5321</S> to Kedesh<S>6943</S>; and he went up<S>5927</S> with ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> at his feet<S>7272</S>: and Deborah<S>1683</S> went up<S>5927</S> with him.


text:
Now Heber<S>2268</S> the Kenite<S>7017</S>, <i>who was</i> of the children<S>1121</S> of Hobab<S>2246</S> the father in law<S>2859</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, had separated<S>6504</S> himself from the Kenites<S>7014</S>, and pitched<S>5186</S> his tent<S>168</S> to the plain<S>436</S> of Zaanaim<S>6815</S>, which <i>is</i> by Kedesh<S>6943</S>.


text:
And they showed<S>5046</S> Sisera<S>5516</S> that Barak<S>1301</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abinoam<S>42</S> had gone up<S>5927</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Tabor<S>8396</S>.


text:
And Sisera<S>5516</S> gathered together<S>2199</S> all his chariots<S>7393</S>, <i>even </i>nine<S>8672</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him, from Harosheth<S>2800</S> of the Gentiles<S>1471</S> to the river<S>5158</S> of Kishon<S>7028</S>. <n>together: Heb. by cry, or, proclamation</n>


text:
And Deborah<S>1683</S> said<S>559</S> to Barak<S>1301</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>; for this <i>is</i> the day<S>3117</S> when the LORD<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> Sisera<S>5516</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>: hath not the LORD<S>3068</S> gone out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> thee? So Barak<S>1301</S> went down<S>3381</S> from mount<S>2022</S> Tabor<S>8396</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> after<S>310</S> him.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> destroyed<S>2000</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, and all <i>his </i>chariots<S>7393</S>, and all <i>his </i>host<S>4264</S>, with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S> before<S>6440</S> Barak<S>1301</S>; so that Sisera<S>5516</S> came down<S>3381</S> from <i>his </i>chariot<S>4818</S>, and fled away<S>5127</S> on his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
But Barak<S>1301</S> pursued<S>7291</S> <S>310</S> the chariots<S>7393</S>, and the host<S>4264</S>, to Harosheth<S>2800</S> of the Gentiles<S>1471</S>: and all the host<S>4264</S> of Sisera<S>5516</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; <i>and</i> there was not a man<S>259</S> left<S>7604</S>. <n>a man: Heb. unto one</n>


text:
However Sisera<S>5516</S> fled away<S>5127</S> on his feet<S>7272</S> to the tent<S>168</S> of Jael<S>3278</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Heber<S>2268</S> the Kenite<S>7017</S>: for <i>there was </i>peace<S>7965</S> between Jabin<S>2985</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Hazor<S>2674</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of Heber<S>2268</S> the Kenite<S>7017</S>.


text:
And Jael<S>3278</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Turn in<S>5493</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, turn in<S>5493</S> to me; fear<S>3372</S> not. And when he had turned in<S>5493</S> to her into the tent<S>168</S>, she covered<S>3680</S> him with a mantle<S>8063</S>. <n>mantle: or, rug, or, blanket</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little<S>4592</S> water<S>4325</S> to drink<S>8248</S>; for I am thirsty<S>6770</S>. And she opened<S>6605</S> a bottle<S>4997</S> of milk<S>2461</S>, and gave him a drink<S>8248</S>, and covered<S>3680</S> him.


text:
Again he said<S>559</S> to her, Stand in<S>5975</S> the door<S>6607</S> of the tent<S>168</S>, and it shall be, when any man<S>376</S> doth come<S>935</S> and enquire<S>7592</S> of thee, and say<S>559</S>, Is there<S>3426</S> any man<S>376</S> here<S>3426</S>? that thou shalt say<S>559</S>, No.


text:
Then Jael<S>3278</S> Heber’s<S>2268</S> wife<S>802</S> took<S>3947</S> a nail<S>3489</S> of the tent<S>168</S>, and took<S>7760</S> an hammer<S>4718</S> in her hand<S>3027</S>, and went<S>935</S> softly<S>3814</S> to him, and smote<S>8628</S> the nail<S>3489</S> into his temples<S>7541</S>, and fastened<S>6795</S> it into the ground<S>776</S>: for he was fast asleep<S>7290</S> and weary<S>5774</S>. So he died<S>4191</S>. <n>and took: Heb. and put</n>


text:
And, behold, as Barak<S>1301</S> pursued<S>7291</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, Jael<S>3278</S> came out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him, and said<S>559</S> to him, Come<S>3212</S>, and I will show<S>7200</S> thee the man<S>376</S> whom thou seekest<S>1245</S>. And when he came<S>935</S> into her <i>tent</i>, behold, Sisera<S>5516</S> lay<S>5307</S> dead<S>4191</S>, and the nail<S>3489</S> <i>was</i> in his temples<S>7541</S>.

So God<S>430</S> subdued<S>3665</S> on that day<S>3117</S> Jabin<S>2985</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

Hear<S>8085</S>, O ye kings<S>4428</S>; give ear<S>238</S>, O ye princes<S>7336</S>; I, <i>even</i> I, will sing<S>7891</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>; I will sing<S>2167</S> <i>praise</i> to the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

Then Gideon<S>1439</S> took<S>3947</S> ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>, and did<S>6213</S> as the LORD<S>3068</S> had said<S>1696</S> to him: and <i>so</i> it was, because he feared<S>3372</S> his father’s<S>1</S> household<S>1004</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, that he could not do<S>6213</S> <i>it</i> by day<S>3119</S>, that he did<S>6213</S> <i>it</i> by night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, behold, the altar<S>4196</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> was cast down<S>5422</S>, and the grove<S>842</S> was cut down<S>3772</S> that <i>was</i> by it, and the second<S>8145</S> bull<S>6499</S> was offered<S>5927</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> <i>that was </i>built<S>1129</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, Who hath done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>? And when they enquired<S>1875</S> and asked<S>1245</S>, they said<S>559</S>, Gideon<S>1439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> hath done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> to Joash<S>3101</S>, Bring out<S>3318</S> thy son<S>1121</S>, that he may die<S>4191</S>: because he hath cast down<S>5422</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and because he hath cut down<S>3772</S> the grove<S>842</S> that <i>was</i> by it.


text:
And Joash<S>3101</S> said<S>559</S> to all that stood<S>5975</S> against him, Will ye plead<S>7378</S> for Baal<S>1168</S>? will ye save<S>3467</S> him? he that will plead<S>7378</S> for him, let him be put to death<S>4191</S> by morning<S>1242</S>: if he <i>is</i> a god<S>430</S>, let him plead<S>7378</S> for himself, because <i>one</i> hath cast down<S>5422</S> his altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
Therefore on that day<S>3117</S> he called<S>7121</S> him Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let Baal<S>1168</S> plead<S>7378</S> against him, because he hath thrown down<S>5422</S> his altar<S>4196</S>. <n>Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead</n>


text:
Then all the Midianites<S>4080</S> and the Amalekites<S>6002</S> and the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S> were gathered<S>622</S> together<S>3162</S>, and went over<S>5674</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in the valley<S>6010</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
But the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came<S>3847</S> upon Gideon<S>1439</S>, and he blew<S>8628</S> a trumpet<S>7782</S>; and Abiezer<S>44</S> was called<S>2199</S> after<S>310</S> him. <n>came…: Heb. clothed gathered: Heb. called</n>


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> throughout all Manasseh<S>4519</S>; who also was called<S>2199</S> after<S>310</S> him: and he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Asher<S>836</S>, and to Zebulun<S>2074</S>, and to Naphtali<S>5321</S>; and they came up<S>5927</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them. <n>gathered: Heb. called</n>


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> to God<S>430</S>, If thou wilt<S>3426</S> save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> by my hand<S>3027</S>, as thou hast said<S>1696</S>,


text:
Behold, I will put<S>3322</S> a fleece<S>1492</S> of wool<S>6785</S> on the floor<S>1637</S>; <i>and</i> if the dew<S>2919</S> shall be on the fleece<S>1492</S> only, and <i>it shall be </i>dry<S>2721</S> upon all the earth<S>776</S> <i>besides</i>, then shall I know<S>3045</S> that thou wilt save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> by my hand<S>3027</S>, as thou hast said<S>1696</S>.


text:
And it was so: for he rose early<S>7925</S> on the next morning<S>4283</S>, and pressed<S>2115</S> the fleece<S>1492</S>, and wrung<S>4680</S> the dew<S>2919</S> out of the fleece<S>1492</S>, a bowl<S>5602</S> full<S>4393</S> of water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> to God<S>430</S>, Let not thy anger<S>639</S> be hot<S>2734</S> against me, and I will speak<S>1696</S> but this once<S>6471</S>: let me make a test<S>5254</S>, I pray thee, but this once<S>6471</S> with the fleece<S>1492</S>; let it now be dry<S>2721</S> only upon the fleece<S>1492</S>, and upon all the ground<S>776</S> let there be dew<S>2919</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> did<S>6213</S> so that night<S>3915</S>: for it was dry<S>2721</S> upon the fleece<S>1492</S> only, and there was dew<S>2919</S> on all the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
Then Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, who <i>is </i>Gideon<S>1439</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him, rose early<S>7925</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> beside the well of Harod<S>5878</S>: so that the host<S>4264</S> of the Midianites<S>4080</S> were on the north side<S>6828</S> of them, by the hill<S>1389</S> of Moreh<S>4176</S>, in the valley<S>6010</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Gideon<S>1439</S>, The people<S>5971</S> that <i>are</i> with thee <i>are</i> too many<S>7227</S> for me to give<S>5414</S> the Midianites<S>4080</S> into their hands<S>3027</S>, lest Israel<S>3478</S> vaunt<S>6286</S> themselves against me, saying<S>559</S>, My own hand<S>3027</S> hath saved<S>3467</S> me.


text:
Now therefore<S>4994</S>, proclaim<S>7121</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Whoever <i>is </i>fearful<S>3373</S> and afraid<S>2730</S>, let him return<S>7725</S> and depart early<S>6852</S> from mount<S>2022</S> Gilead<S>1568</S>. And there returned<S>7725</S> of the people<S>5971</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S>; and there remained<S>7604</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Gideon<S>1439</S>, The people<S>5971</S> <i>are</i> yet <i>too </i>many<S>7227</S>; bring them down<S>3381</S> to the water<S>4325</S>, and I will try<S>6884</S> them for thee there: and it shall be, <i>that</i> of whom I say<S>559</S> to thee, This shall go<S>3212</S> with thee, the same shall go<S>3212</S> with thee; and of whomever I say<S>559</S> to thee, This shall not go<S>3212</S> with thee, the same shall not go<S>3212</S>.


text:
So he brought down<S>3381</S> the people<S>5971</S> to the water<S>4325</S>: and the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Gideon<S>1439</S>, Every one that lappeth<S>3952</S> of the water<S>4325</S> with his tongue<S>3956</S>, as a dog<S>3611</S> lappeth<S>3952</S>, him shalt thou set<S>3322</S> by himself; likewise every one that boweth down<S>3766</S> upon his knees<S>1290</S> to drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
And the number<S>4557</S> of them that lapped<S>3952</S>, <i>putting</i> their hand<S>3027</S> to their mouth<S>6310</S>, were three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>: but all the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> bowed down<S>3766</S> upon their knees<S>1290</S> to drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Gideon<S>1439</S>, By the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that lapped<S>3952</S> will I save<S>3467</S> you, and deliver<S>5414</S> the Midianites<S>4080</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>: and let all the <i>other </i>people<S>5971</S> go<S>3212</S> every man<S>376</S> to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> took<S>3947</S> provisions<S>6720</S> in their hand<S>3027</S>, and their trumpets<S>7782</S>: and he sent<S>7971</S> all<S>376</S> <i>the rest of </i>Israel<S>3478</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>, and retained<S>2388</S> those three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>: and the host<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S> was beneath him in the valley<S>6010</S>.


text:
And it came to pass the same night<S>3915</S>, that the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Arise<S>6965</S>, go down<S>3381</S> to the host<S>4264</S>; for I have delivered<S>5414</S> it into thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
But if thou fearest<S>3373</S> to go down<S>3381</S>, go<S>3381</S> thou with Phurah<S>6513</S> thy servant<S>5288</S> down<S>3381</S> to the host<S>4264</S>:


text:
And thou shalt hear<S>8085</S> what they say<S>1696</S>; and afterward<S>310</S> shall thy hands<S>3027</S> be strengthened<S>2388</S> to go down<S>3381</S> to the host<S>4264</S>. Then went he down<S>3381</S> with Phurah<S>6513</S> his servant<S>5288</S> to the outside<S>7097</S> of the armed men<S>2571</S> that <i>were</i> in the host<S>4264</S>. <n>armed men: or, ranks by five</n>


text:
And the Midianites<S>4080</S> and the Amalekites<S>6002</S> and all the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S> lay<S>5307</S> along in the valley<S>6010</S> like grasshoppers<S>697</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>; and their camels<S>1581</S> <i>were</i> without number<S>4557</S>, as the sand<S>2344</S> by the sea<S>3220</S> side<S>8193</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
And when Gideon<S>1439</S> had come<S>935</S>, behold, <i>there was</i> a man<S>376</S> that told<S>5608</S> a dream<S>2472</S> to his friend<S>7453</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold, I dreamed<S>2492</S> a dream<S>2472</S>, and, lo, a cake<S>6742</S> <S>6742</S> of barley<S>8184</S> bread<S>3899</S> rolled<S>2015</S> into the host<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, and came<S>935</S> to a tent<S>168</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> it that it fell<S>5307</S>, and overturned<S>2015</S> <S>4605</S> it, that the tent<S>168</S> lay flat<S>5307</S>.


text:
And his friend<S>7453</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, This <i>is</i> nothing else except the sword<S>2719</S> of Gideon<S>1439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>, a man<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: <i>for</i> into his hand<S>3027</S> hath God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> Midian<S>4080</S>, and all the host<S>4264</S>.


text:
And it was <i>so</i>, when Gideon<S>1439</S> heard<S>8085</S> the telling<S>4557</S> of the dream<S>2472</S>, and its interpretation<S>7667</S>, that he worshipped<S>7812</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to the host<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>; for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> into your hand<S>3027</S> the host<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>. <n>interpretation: Heb. breaking</n>


text:
And he divided<S>2673</S> the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> <i>into </i>three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>, and he put<S>5414</S> a trumpet<S>7782</S> in every man’s hand<S>3027</S>, with empty<S>7386</S> pitchers<S>3537</S>, and lamps<S>3940</S> within<S>8432</S> the pitchers<S>3537</S>. <n>a trumpet…: Heb. trumpets in the hand of all of them lamps: or, firebrands, or, torches</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, Look<S>7200</S> on me, and do<S>6213</S> likewise: and, behold, when I come<S>935</S> to the outside<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S>, it shall be <i>that</i>, as I do<S>6213</S>, so shall ye do<S>6213</S>.


text:
When I blow<S>8628</S> with a trumpet<S>7782</S>, I and all that <i>are</i> with me, then blow<S>8628</S> ye the trumpets<S>7782</S> also on every side<S>5439</S> of all the camp<S>4264</S>, and say<S>559</S>, <i>The sword</i> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and of Gideon<S>1439</S>.


text:
So Gideon<S>1439</S>, and the hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that <i>were</i> with him, came<S>935</S> to the outside<S>7097</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> in the beginning<S>7218</S> of the middle<S>8484</S> watch<S>821</S>; and they had but<S>389</S> newly<S>6965</S> set<S>6965</S> the watch<S>8104</S>: and they blew<S>8628</S> the trumpets<S>7782</S>, and broke<S>5310</S> the pitchers<S>3537</S> that <i>were</i> in their hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpets<S>7782</S>, and broke<S>7665</S> the pitchers<S>3537</S>, and held<S>2388</S> the lamps<S>3940</S> in their left<S>8040</S> hands<S>3027</S>, and the trumpets<S>7782</S> in their right<S>3225</S> hands<S>3027</S> to blow<S>8628</S> <i>with</i>: and they cried<S>7121</S>, The sword<S>2719</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and of Gideon<S>1439</S>.


text:
And they stood<S>5975</S> every man<S>376</S> in his place around<S>5439</S> the camp<S>4264</S>: and all the host<S>4264</S> ran<S>7323</S>, and cried<S>7321</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpets<S>7782</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> set<S>7760</S> every man’s<S>376</S> sword<S>2719</S> against his companion<S>7453</S>, even throughout all the host<S>4264</S>: and the host<S>4264</S> fled<S>5127</S> to Bethshittah<S>1029</S> in Zererath<S>6888</S>, <i>and</i> to the border<S>8193</S> of Abelmeholah<S>65</S>, to Tabbath<S>2888</S>. <n>in: or, toward border: Heb. lip</n>

And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6817</S> out of Naphtali<S>5321</S>, and out of Asher<S>836</S>, and out of all Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> <S>310</S> the Midianites<S>4080</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> throughout all mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come down<S>3381</S> against<S>7125</S> the Midianites<S>4080</S>, and take<S>3920</S> before them the waters<S>4325</S> to Bethbarah<S>1012</S> and Jordan<S>3383</S>. Then all the men<S>376</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> gathered themselves together<S>6817</S>, and took<S>3920</S> the waters<S>4325</S> to Bethbarah<S>1012</S> and Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3920</S> two<S>8147</S> princes<S>8269</S> of the Midianites<S>4080</S>, Oreb<S>6159</S> and Zeeb<S>2062</S>; and they slew<S>2026</S> Oreb<S>6159</S> upon the rock<S>6697</S> Oreb<S>6159</S>, and Zeeb<S>2062</S> they slew<S>2026</S> at the winepress<S>3342</S> of Zeeb<S>2062</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> Midian<S>4080</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of Oreb<S>6159</S> and Zeeb<S>2062</S> to Gideon<S>1439</S> on the other side<S>5676</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Why hast thou<S>4100</S> done this<S>6213</S> to us<S>1697</S>, that thou didst call<S>7121</S> us not, when thou wentest<S>1980</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with the Midianites<S>4080</S>?

text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, What have I done<S>6213</S> now in comparison of you? <i>Is</i> not the gleaning<S>5955</S> of the grapes of Ephraim<S>669</S> better<S>2896</S> than the vintage<S>1210</S> of Abiezer<S>44</S>?

God<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> into your hands<S>3027</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, Oreb<S>6159</S> and Zeeb<S>2062</S>: and what was I able<S>3201</S> to do<S>6213</S> in comparison of you?

And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> to them, I will not rule<S>4910</S> over you, neither shall my son<S>1121</S> rule<S>4910</S> over you: the LORD<S>3068</S> shall rule<S>4910</S> over you.

And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> to them, I would desire<S>7592</S> a request<S>7596</S> of you, that you would give<S>5414</S> me every man<S>376</S> the earrings<S>5141</S> of his spoil<S>7998</S>.

text:
And they answered<S>559</S>, We will willingly<S>5414</S> give<S>5414</S> <i>them</i>. And they spread<S>6566</S> a garment<S>8071</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> into it every man<S>376</S> the earrings<S>5141</S> of his spoil<S>7998</S>.


text:
And the weight<S>4948</S> of the golden<S>2091</S> earrings<S>5141</S> that he requested<S>7592</S> was a thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> <i>shekels</i> of gold<S>2091</S>; besides ornaments<S>7720</S>, and collars<S>5188</S>, and purple<S>713</S> raiment<S>899</S> that <i>was</i> on the kings<S>4428</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, and besides the chains<S>6060</S> that <i>were</i> about their camels<S>1581</S>’ necks<S>6677</S>. <n>collars: or, sweet jewels</n>

Thus was Midian<S>4080</S> subdued<S>3665</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, so that they raised<S>5375</S> their heads<S>7218</S> no more<S>3254</S>.

And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon<S>1439</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> turned again<S>7725</S>, and went playing the harlot with<S>2181</S> <S>310</S> Baalim<S>1168</S>, and made<S>7760</S> Baalberith<S>1170</S> their god<S>430</S>.

Then God<S>430</S> sent<S>7971</S> an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> between Abimelech<S>40</S> and the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>; and the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> dealt treacherously<S>898</S> with Abimelech<S>40</S>:


text:
That the cruelty<S>2555</S> <i>done</i> to the seventy<S>7657</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> might come<S>935</S>, and their blood<S>1818</S> be laid<S>7760</S> upon Abimelech<S>40</S> their brother<S>251</S>, who slew<S>2026</S> them; and upon the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, who aided<S>2388</S> <S>3027</S> him in the killing<S>2026</S> of his brethren<S>251</S>. <n>aided…: Heb. strengthened his hands to kill</n>


text:
And the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> set<S>7760</S> an ambush<S>693</S> for him on the top<S>7218</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>, and they robbed<S>1497</S> all that came<S>5674</S> along that way<S>1870</S> by them: and it was told<S>5046</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> came<S>935</S> with his brethren<S>251</S>, and went over<S>5674</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>: and the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> put their confidence<S>982</S> in him.


text:
And they went out<S>3318</S> into the fields<S>7704</S>, and gathered<S>1219</S> their vineyards<S>3754</S>, and trod<S>1869</S> <i>the grapes</i>, and made<S>6213</S> merry<S>1974</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of their god<S>430</S>, and ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>, and cursed<S>7043</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>. <n>merry: or, songs</n>


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> said<S>559</S>, Who <i>is </i>Abimelech<S>40</S>, and who <i>is </i>Shechem<S>7927</S>, that we should serve<S>5647</S> him? <i>is</i> not <i>he</i> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>? and Zebul<S>2083</S> his officer<S>6496</S>? serve<S>5647</S> the men<S>582</S> of Hamor<S>2544</S> the father<S>1</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>: for why should we serve<S>5647</S> him?


text:
And would that this people<S>5971</S> were under<S>5414</S> my hand<S>3027</S>! then would I remove<S>5493</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>. And he said<S>559</S> to Abimelech<S>40</S>, Increase<S>7235</S> thy army<S>6635</S>, and come out<S>3318</S>.


text:
And when Zebul<S>2083</S> the ruler<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S> heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S>, his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S>. <n>kindled: or, hot</n>


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Abimelech<S>40</S> deceitfully<S>8649</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold, Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> and his brethren<S>251</S> are come<S>935</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>; and, behold, they fortify<S>6696</S> the city<S>5892</S> against thee. <n>privily: Heb. craftily or, to Tormah</n>


text:
Now therefore rise up<S>6965</S> by night<S>3915</S>, thou and the people<S>5971</S> that <i>are</i> with thee, and lie in wait<S>693</S> in the field<S>7704</S>:


text:
And it shall be, <i>that</i> in the morning<S>1242</S>, as soon as the sun<S>8121</S> hath risen<S>2224</S>, thou shalt rise early<S>7925</S>, and rush<S>6584</S> upon the city<S>5892</S>: and, behold, <i>when</i> he and the people<S>5971</S> that <i>are</i> with him come out<S>3318</S> against thee, then mayest thou do<S>6213</S> to them as thou<S>3027</S> shalt find occasion<S>4672</S>. <n>as thou shalt…: Heb. as thine hand shall find</n>


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> rose<S>6965</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him, by night<S>3915</S>, and they laid wait<S>693</S> against Shechem<S>7927</S> in four<S>702</S> companies<S>7218</S>.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and Abimelech<S>40</S> rose<S>6965</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him, from lying in wait<S>3993</S>.


text:
And when Gaal<S>1603</S> saw<S>7200</S> the people<S>5971</S>, he said<S>559</S> to Zebul<S>2083</S>, Behold, there come<S>3381</S> people<S>5971</S> down<S>3381</S> from the top<S>7218</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>. And Zebul<S>2083</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Thou seest<S>7200</S> the shadow<S>6738</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S> as <i>if they were </i>men<S>582</S>.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> spoke<S>1696</S> again<S>3254</S> and said<S>559</S>, See there come<S>3381</S> people<S>5971</S> down<S>3381</S> by the middle<S>2872</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> come<S>935</S> along by<S>1870</S> the plain<S>436</S> of Meonenim<S>6049</S>. <n>middle: Heb. navel Meonenim: or, the regarders of times</n>


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Zebul<S>2083</S> to him, Where <i>is </i>now<S>645</S> thy mouth<S>6310</S>, with which thou saidst<S>559</S>, Who <i>is </i>Abimelech<S>40</S>, that we should serve<S>5647</S> him? <i>are</i> not these the people<S>5971</S> that thou hast despised<S>3988</S>? go out<S>3318</S>, I pray now<S>4994</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> with them.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> went out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> chased<S>7291</S> him, and he fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> him, and many<S>7227</S> were overthrown<S>5307</S> <i>and </i>wounded<S>2491</S>, <i>even</i> to the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> at Arumah<S>725</S>: and Zebul<S>2083</S> thrust out<S>1644</S> Gaal<S>1603</S> and his brethren<S>251</S>, that they should not dwell<S>3427</S> in Shechem<S>7927</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the next day<S>4283</S>, that the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>; and they told<S>5046</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and divided<S>2673</S> them into three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>, and laid wait<S>693</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, and looked<S>7200</S>, and, behold, the people<S>5971</S> <i>had </i>come<S>3318</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>; and he rose up<S>6965</S> against them, and smote<S>5221</S> them.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S>, and the company<S>7218</S> that <i>was</i> with him, rushed forward<S>6584</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and the two<S>8147</S> <i>other </i>companies<S>7218</S> ran upon<S>6584</S> all <i>the people</i> that <i>were</i> in the fields<S>7704</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> them.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> fought<S>3898</S> against the city<S>5892</S> all that day<S>3117</S>; and he took<S>3920</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> in it, and beat down<S>5422</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and sowed<S>2232</S> it with salt<S>4417</S>.


text:
And when all the men<S>1167</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> heard<S>8085</S> <i>that</i>, they entered<S>935</S> into a strong hold<S>6877</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the god<S>410</S> Berith<S>1286</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> to Abimelech<S>40</S>, that all the men<S>1167</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> went up<S>5927</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Zalmon<S>6756</S>, he and all the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him; and Abimelech<S>40</S> took<S>3947</S> an axe<S>7134</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> a bough<S>7754</S> from the trees<S>6086</S>, and took<S>5375</S> it, and laid<S>7760</S> <i>it</i> on his shoulder<S>7926</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him, What ye have seen<S>7200</S> me do<S>6213</S>, make haste<S>4116</S>, <i>and </i>do<S>6213</S> as I<S>3644</S> <i>have done</i>. <n>me do: Heb. I have done</n>


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> likewise cut down<S>3772</S> every man<S>376</S> his bough<S>7754</S>, and followed<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>, and put<S>7760</S> <i>them</i> to the strong hold<S>6877</S>, and set<S>3341</S> the strong hold<S>6877</S> on fire<S>784</S> upon them; so that all the men<S>582</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> died<S>4191</S> also, about a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>.


text:
Then went<S>3212</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> to Thebez<S>8405</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Thebez<S>8405</S>, and took<S>3920</S> it.


text:
But there was a strong<S>5797</S> tower<S>4026</S> within<S>8432</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and to there fled<S>5127</S> all the men<S>582</S> and women<S>802</S>, and all they<S>1167</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and shut<S>5462</S> <i>it</i> after them, and went up<S>5927</S> to the top<S>1406</S> of the tower<S>4026</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> came<S>935</S> to the tower<S>4026</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against it, and came near<S>5066</S> to the door<S>6607</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> to burn<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And a certain<S>259</S> woman<S>802</S> cast<S>7993</S> a piece<S>6400</S> of a millstone<S>7393</S> upon Abimelech’s<S>40</S> head<S>7218</S>, and broke<S>7533</S> his skull<S>1538</S>.


text:
Then he called<S>7121</S> hastily<S>4120</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Draw<S>8025</S> thy sword<S>2719</S>, and slay<S>4191</S> me, that men say<S>559</S> not of me, A woman<S>802</S> slew<S>2026</S> him. And his young man<S>5288</S> thrust him through<S>1856</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Abimelech<S>40</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, they departed<S>3212</S> every man<S>376</S> to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Thus God<S>430</S> rendered<S>7725</S> the wickedness<S>7451</S> of Abimelech<S>40</S>, which he did<S>6213</S> to his father<S>1</S>, in slaying<S>2026</S> his seventy<S>7657</S> brethren<S>251</S>:


text:
And all the evil<S>7451</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> did God<S>430</S> render<S>7725</S> upon their heads<S>7218</S>: and upon them came<S>935</S> the curse<S>7045</S> of Jotham<S>3147</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> there arose<S>6965</S> to defend<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> Tola<S>8439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Puah<S>6312</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Dodo<S>1734</S>, a man<S>376</S> of Issachar<S>3485</S>; and he dwelt<S>3427</S> in Shamir<S>8069</S> in mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>. <n>defend: or, deliver: Heb. save</n>


text:
And he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, and died<S>4191</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Shamir<S>8069</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him arose<S>6965</S> Jair<S>2971</S>, a Gileadite<S>1569</S>, and judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he had thirty<S>7970</S> sons<S>1121</S> that rode<S>7392</S> on thirty<S>7970</S> young donkeys<S>5895</S>, and they had thirty<S>7970</S> cities<S>5892</S>, which are called<S>7121</S> Havothjair<S>2334</S> to this day<S>3117</S>, which <i>are</i> in the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>. <n>Havothjair: or, the villages of Jair</n>


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> again<S>3254</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Baalim<S>1168</S>, and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of Zidon<S>6721</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and forsook<S>5800</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> not him.


text:
And the anger<S>639</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was hot<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hands<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and into the hands<S>3027</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And that year<S>8141</S> they afflicted<S>7492</S> and oppressed<S>7533</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: eighteen<S>8083</S> <S>6240</S> years<S>8141</S>, all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that <i>were</i> on the other side<S>5676</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S> in the land<S>776</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, which <i>is</i> in Gilead<S>1568</S>. <n>oppressed: Heb. crushed</n>


text:
Moreover the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> passed over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S> to fight<S>3898</S> also against Judah<S>3063</S>, and against Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and against the house<S>1004</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>; so that Israel<S>3478</S> was greatly<S>3966</S> distressed<S>3334</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S> against thee, both because we have forsaken<S>5800</S> our God<S>430</S>, and also served<S>5647</S> Baalim<S>1168</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <i>Did</i> not <i>I deliver you</i> from the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, and from the Amorites<S>567</S>, from the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and from the Philistines<S>6430</S>?


text:
The Zidonians<S>6722</S> also, and the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and the Maonites<S>4584</S>, oppressed<S>3905</S> you; and ye cried<S>6817</S> to me, and I delivered<S>3467</S> you out of their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Yet ye have forsaken<S>5800</S> me, and served<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>: therefore I will deliver<S>3467</S> you no more<S>3254</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S> and cry<S>2199</S> to the gods<S>430</S> which ye have chosen<S>977</S>; let them<S>1992</S> deliver<S>3467</S> you in the time<S>6256</S> of your tribulation<S>6869</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>: do<S>6213</S> thou to us whatever seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> to thee; deliver<S>5337</S> us only, we pray thee, this day<S>3117</S>. <n>seemeth…: Heb. is good in thine eyes</n>


text:
And they put away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> from among<S>7130</S> them, and served<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>: and his soul<S>5315</S> was grieved<S>7114</S> for the misery<S>5999</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. <n>strange…: Heb. gods of strangers grieved: Heb. shortened</n>


text:
Then the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Gilead<S>1568</S>. And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Mizpeh<S>4709</S>. <n>gathered: Heb. cried</n>


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> <i>and </i>princes<S>8269</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, What man<S>376</S> <i>is he</i> that will begin<S>2490</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>? he shall be head<S>7218</S> over all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.

Now Jephthah<S>3316</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> was a mighty man<S>1368</S> of valour<S>2428</S>, and he <i>was</i> the son<S>1121</S> of an harlot<S>802</S> <S>2181</S>: and Gilead<S>1568</S> begat<S>3205</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S>. <n>Jephthah: Gr. Jephthae an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot</n>

And Gilead’s<S>1568</S> wife<S>802</S> bore<S>3205</S> him sons<S>1121</S>; and his wife’s<S>802</S> sons<S>1121</S> grew up<S>1431</S>, and they thrust out<S>1644</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Thou shalt not inherit<S>5157</S> in our father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S>; for thou <i>art</i> the son<S>1121</S> of a another<S>312</S> woman<S>802</S>.

Then Jephthah<S>3316</S> fled<S>1272</S> from<S>6440</S> his brethren<S>251</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Tob<S>2897</S>: and there were gathered<S>3950</S> worthless<S>7386</S> men<S>582</S> to Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and <i>they</i> went out<S>3318</S> with him. <n>from: Heb. from the face [of]</n>

And it came to pass in process of time<S>3117</S>, that the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> made war<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>. <n>in process…: Heb. after days</n>


text:
And it was so, that when the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> made war<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> went<S>3212</S> to bring<S>3947</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Tob<S>2897</S>:


text:
And they said<S>559</S> to Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and be our captain<S>7101</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> said<S>559</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, Did ye not hate<S>8130</S> me, and drive<S>1644</S> me out of my father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S>? and why have ye come<S>935</S> to me now when ye are in distress<S>6887</S>?


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> to Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Therefore we turn again<S>7725</S> to thee now, that thou mayest go<S>1980</S> with us, and fight<S>3898</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and be our head<S>7218</S> over all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> said<S>559</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, If ye bring me home again<S>7725</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> deliver<S>5414</S> them before<S>6440</S> me, shall I be your head<S>7218</S>?


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> to Jephthah<S>3316</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> be a witness<S>8085</S> between us, if we do<S>6213</S> not so according to thy words<S>1697</S>. <n>witness…: Heb. the hearer between us</n>


text:
Then Jephthah<S>3316</S> went<S>3212</S> with the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> made<S>7760</S> him head<S>7218</S> and captain<S>7101</S> over them: and Jephthah<S>3316</S> uttered<S>1696</S> all his words<S>1697</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> in Mizpeh<S>4709</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What hast thou to do with me, that thou hast come<S>935</S> against me to fight<S>3898</S> in my land<S>776</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> answered<S>559</S> to the messengers<S>4397</S> of Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Because Israel<S>3478</S> took away<S>3947</S> my land<S>776</S>, when they came<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from Arnon<S>769</S> even to Jabbok<S>2999</S>, and to Jordan<S>3383</S>: now therefore restore those <i>lands </i>again<S>7725</S> peaceably<S>7965</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>3254</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>:


text:
And said<S>559</S> to him, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> took not away<S>3947</S> the land<S>776</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, nor the land<S>776</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>:


text:
But when Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> from Egypt<S>4714</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> through the wilderness<S>4057</S> to the Red<S>5488</S> sea<S>3220</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Kadesh<S>6946</S>;


text:
Then Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let me, I pray thee, pass through<S>5674</S> thy land<S>776</S>: but the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S> would not hearken<S>8085</S> <i>to it</i>. And in like manner they sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: but he would<S>14</S> not <i>consent</i>: and Israel<S>3478</S> abode<S>3427</S> in Kadesh<S>6946</S>.


text:
Then they went along<S>3212</S> through the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and went around<S>5437</S> the land<S>776</S> of Edom<S>123</S>, and the land<S>776</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and came<S>935</S> by the east side<S>4217</S> <S>8121</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> on the other side<S>5676</S> of Arnon<S>769</S>, but came<S>935</S> not within the border<S>1366</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: for Arnon<S>769</S> <i>was</i> the border<S>1366</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Sihon<S>5511</S> king<S>4428</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, the king<S>4428</S> of Heshbon<S>2809</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Let us pass<S>5674</S>, we pray thee, through thy land<S>776</S> to<S>5704</S> my place<S>4725</S>.


text:
But Sihon<S>5511</S> trusted<S>539</S> not Israel<S>3478</S> to pass<S>5674</S> through his land<S>1366</S>: but Sihon<S>5511</S> gathered<S>622</S> all his people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Jahaz<S>3096</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> delivered<S>5414</S> Sihon<S>5511</S> and all his people<S>5971</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and they smote<S>5221</S> them: so Israel<S>3478</S> possessed<S>3423</S> all the land<S>776</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of that country<S>776</S>.


text:
And they possessed<S>3423</S> all the land<S>1366</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, from Arnon<S>769</S> even to Jabbok<S>2999</S>, and from the wilderness<S>4057</S> even to Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
So now the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> hath dispossessed<S>3423</S> the Amorites<S>567</S> from before<S>6440</S> his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and shouldest thou possess<S>3423</S> it?


text:
Wilt not thou possess<S>3423</S> that which Chemosh<S>3645</S> thy god<S>430</S> giveth thee to possess<S>3423</S>? So whomever the LORD<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> shall drive out<S>3423</S> from before<S>6440</S> us, them will we possess<S>3423</S>.


text:
And now <i>art</i> thou any thing better<S>2896</S> than Balak<S>1111</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zippor<S>6834</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>? did he ever<S>7378</S> strive<S>7378</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, or did he ever<S>3898</S> fight<S>3898</S> against them,


text:
While Israel<S>3478</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Heshbon<S>2809</S> and her towns<S>1323</S>, and in Aroer<S>6177</S> and her towns<S>1323</S>, and in all the cities<S>5892</S> that <i>are</i> along by the banks<S>3027</S> of Arnon<S>769</S>, three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> years<S>8141</S>? why therefore did ye not recover<S>5337</S> <i>them</i> within that time<S>6256</S>?


text:
Therefore I have not sinned<S>2398</S> against thee, but thou doest<S>6213</S> <S>853</S> me wrong<S>7451</S> to war<S>3898</S> against me: the LORD<S>3068</S> the Judge<S>8199</S> be judge<S>8199</S> this day<S>3117</S> between the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not to the words<S>1697</S> of Jephthah<S>3316</S> which he sent<S>7971</S> him.


text:
Then the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came upon Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and he passed over<S>5674</S> Gilead<S>1568</S>, and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, and from Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> he passed over<S>5674</S> <i>to</i> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, If thou shalt without fail<S>5414</S> deliver<S>5414</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> into my hands<S>3027</S>,


text:
Then it shall be, that whatever<S>3318</S> cometh out<S>3318</S> of the doors<S>1817</S> of my house<S>1004</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me, when I return<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S> from the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, shall surely be the LORD’S<S>3068</S>, and I will offer it<S>5927</S> for a burnt offering<S>5930</S>. <n>whatsoever…: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth and…: or, or I will offer it, etc</n>


text:
So Jephthah<S>3316</S> passed over<S>5674</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against them; and the LORD<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into his hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he smote<S>5221</S> them from Aroer<S>6177</S>, even till thou comest<S>935</S> to Minnith<S>4511</S>, <i>even </i>twenty<S>6242</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and to the plain<S>58</S> of the vineyards<S>3754</S> <S>64</S>, with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>. Thus the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> were subdued<S>3665</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. <n>the plain: or, Abel</n>


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> came<S>935</S> to Mizpeh<S>4709</S> to his house<S>1004</S>, and, behold, his daughter<S>1323</S> came out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him with timbrels<S>8596</S> and with dances<S>4246</S>: and she <i>was his</i> only child<S>3173</S>; beside her he had neither son<S>1121</S> nor<S>176</S> daughter<S>1323</S>. <n>beside…: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself</n>


text:
And it came to pass, when he saw<S>7200</S> her, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>! thou hast brought<S>3766</S> me very<S>3766</S> low<S>3766</S>, and thou art one of them that trouble<S>5916</S> me: for I have opened<S>6475</S> my mouth<S>6310</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and I cannot<S>3201</S> go back<S>7725</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to him, My father<S>1</S>, <i>if</i> thou hast opened<S>6475</S> thy mouth<S>6310</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, do<S>6213</S> to me according to that which<S>834</S> hath proceeded<S>3318</S> out of thy mouth<S>6310</S>; forasmuch<S>310</S> as the LORD<S>3068</S> hath taken<S>6213</S> vengeance<S>5360</S> for thee of thy enemies<S>341</S>, <i>even</i> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to her father<S>1</S>, Let this thing<S>1697</S> be done<S>6213</S> for me: let me alone<S>7503</S> two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S>, that I may go up<S>3212</S> and down<S>3381</S> upon the mountains<S>2022</S>, and bewail<S>1058</S> my virginity<S>1331</S>, I and my companions<S>7464</S> <S>7474</S>. <n>go up…: Heb. go and go down</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>. And he sent her away<S>7971</S> <i>for </i>two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S>: and she went<S>3212</S> with her companions<S>7464</S>, and bewailed<S>1058</S> her virginity<S>1331</S> upon the mountains<S>2022</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7093</S> of two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S>, that she returned<S>7725</S> to her father<S>1</S>, who did<S>6213</S> with her <i>according</i> to his vow<S>5088</S> which he had vowed<S>5087</S>: and she knew<S>3045</S> no man<S>376</S>. And it was a custom<S>2706</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, <n>custom: or, ordinance</n>


text:
<i>That</i> the daughters<S>1323</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> yearly<S>3117</S> <S>3117</S> to lament<S>8567</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jephthah<S>3316</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> four<S>702</S> days<S>3117</S> in a year<S>8141</S>. <n>yearly: Heb. from year to year to lament: or, to talk with</n>


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> gathered themselves together<S>6817</S>, and went<S>5674</S> northward<S>6828</S>, and said<S>559</S> to Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Why didst thou pass over<S>5674</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and didst not call<S>7121</S> us to go<S>3212</S> with thee? we will burn<S>8313</S> thy house<S>1004</S> upon thee with fire<S>784</S>. <n>gathered…: Heb. were called</n>

And Jephthah<S>3316</S> said<S>559</S> to them, I and my people<S>5971</S> were<S>1961</S> at great<S>3966</S> strife<S>376</S> <S>7379</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>; and when I called<S>2199</S> you, ye delivered<S>3467</S> me not out of their hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And when I saw<S>7200</S> that ye delivered<S>3467</S> <i>me</i> not, I put<S>7760</S> my life<S>5315</S> in my hands<S>3709</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into my hand<S>3027</S>: why then have ye come up<S>5927</S> to me this day<S>3117</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> against me?

Then Jephthah<S>3316</S> gathered together<S>6908</S> all the men<S>582</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Ephraim<S>669</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> smote<S>5221</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, because they said<S>559</S>, Ye Gileadites<S>1568</S> <i>are </i>fugitives<S>6412</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> among<S>8432</S> the Ephraimites<S>669</S>, <i>and </i>among<S>8432</S> the Manassites<S>4519</S>.

And the Gileadites<S>1568</S> took<S>3920</S> the fords<S>4569</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S> before the Ephraimites<S>669</S>: and it was <i>so</i>, that when those Ephraimites<S>669</S> who had escaped<S>6412</S> said<S>559</S>, Let me go over<S>5674</S>; that the men<S>582</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> to him, <i>Art</i> thou an Ephraimite<S>673</S>?

And there was a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of Zorah<S>6881</S>, of the family<S>4940</S> of the Danites<S>1839</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Manoah<S>4495</S>; and his wife<S>802</S> <i>was </i>barren<S>6135</S>, and bore<S>3205</S> not.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to the woman<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S> to her, Behold now, thou <i>art </i>barren<S>6135</S>, and bearest<S>3205</S> not: but thou shalt conceive<S>2029</S>, and bear<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Now therefore beware<S>8104</S>, I pray thee, and drink<S>8354</S> not wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>7941</S>, and eat<S>398</S> not any unclean<S>2931</S> <i>thing</i>:

For, lo, thou shalt conceive<S>2030</S>, and bear<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>; and no razor<S>4177</S> shall come<S>5927</S> on his head<S>7218</S>: for the child<S>5288</S> shall be a Nazarite<S>5139</S> to God<S>430</S> from the womb<S>990</S>: and he shall begin<S>2490</S> to deliver<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>559</S> her husband<S>376</S>, saying<S>559</S>, A man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to me, and his countenance<S>4758</S> <i>was</i> like the countenance<S>4758</S> of an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, very<S>3966</S> terrible<S>3372</S>: but I asked<S>7592</S> him not where he <i>was</i> from, neither did he tell<S>5046</S> me his name<S>8034</S>:


text:
But he said<S>559</S> to me, Behold, thou shalt conceive<S>2030</S>, and bear<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>; and now drink<S>8354</S> no wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>7941</S>, neither eat<S>398</S> any unclean<S>2932</S> <i>thing</i>: for the child<S>5288</S> shall be a Nazarite<S>5139</S> to God<S>430</S> from the womb<S>990</S> to the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>.


text:
Then Manoah<S>4495</S> entreated<S>6279</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O<S>994</S> my Lord<S>136</S>, let<S>4994</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> whom thou didst send<S>7971</S> come again<S>935</S> to us, and teach<S>3384</S> us what we shall do<S>6213</S> to the child<S>5288</S> that shall be born<S>3205</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of Manoah<S>4495</S>; and the angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S> came again<S>935</S> to the woman<S>802</S> as she sat<S>3427</S> in the field<S>7704</S>: but Manoah<S>4495</S> her husband<S>376</S> <i>was</i> not with her.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> made haste<S>4116</S>, and ran<S>7323</S>, and showed<S>5046</S> her husband<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Behold, the man<S>376</S> hath appeared<S>7200</S> to me, that came<S>935</S> to me the <i>other </i>day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, <i>Art</i> thou the man<S>376</S> that didst speak<S>1696</S> to the woman<S>802</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, I <i>am</i>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S>, Now let thy words<S>1697</S> come to pass<S>935</S>. How shall we order<S>4941</S> the child<S>5288</S>, and <i>how</i> shall we do<S>4639</S> to him? <n>How shall we order…: Heb. What shall be the manner of the, etc how shall we do…: or, what shall he do?: Heb. what shall be his work?</n>


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Manoah<S>4495</S>, Of all that I said<S>559</S> to the woman<S>802</S> let her beware<S>8104</S>.


text:
She may not eat<S>398</S> of any <i>thing</i> that cometh<S>3318</S> of the vine<S>1612</S>, neither let her drink<S>8354</S> wine<S>3196</S> or strong drink<S>7941</S>, nor eat<S>398</S> any unclean<S>2932</S> <i>thing</i>: all that I commanded<S>6680</S> her let her observe<S>8104</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S> to the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, I pray thee, let us detain<S>6113</S> thee, until we shall have made ready<S>6213</S> a kid<S>1423</S> <S>5795</S> for<S>6440</S> thee. <n>for thee: Heb. before thee</n>


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Manoah<S>4495</S>, Though thou shouldest detain<S>6113</S> me, I will not eat<S>398</S> of thy food<S>3899</S>: and if<S>518</S> thou wilt offer<S>6213</S> a burnt offering<S>5930</S>, thou must offer<S>5927</S> it to the LORD<S>3068</S>. For Manoah<S>4495</S> knew<S>3045</S> not that he <i>was</i> an angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S> to the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, What <i>is</i> thy name<S>8034</S>, that when thy sayings<S>1697</S> come to pass<S>935</S> we may do thee honour<S>3513</S>?


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Why askest<S>7592</S> thou thus after my name<S>8034</S>, seeing it <i>is </i>wonderful<S>6383</S> <S>6383</S>? <n>secret: or, wonderful</n>


text:
So Manoah<S>4495</S> took<S>3947</S> a kid<S>1423</S> <S>5795</S> with a meat offering<S>4503</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> <i>it</i> upon a rock<S>6697</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>: and <i>the angel </i>did<S>6213</S> wondrously<S>6381</S>; and Manoah<S>4495</S> and his wife<S>802</S> looked on<S>7200</S>.


text:
For it came to pass, when the flame<S>3851</S> ascended<S>5927</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S> from off the altar<S>4196</S>, that the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> ascended<S>5927</S> in the flame<S>3851</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>. And Manoah<S>4495</S> and his wife<S>802</S> looked on<S>7200</S> <i>it</i>, and fell on<S>5307</S> their faces<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
But the angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> did no more<S>3254</S> appear<S>7200</S> to Manoah<S>4495</S> and to his wife<S>802</S>. Then Manoah<S>4495</S> knew<S>3045</S> that he <i>was</i> an angel<S>4397</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S> to his wife<S>802</S>, We shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, because we have seen<S>7200</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
But his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to him, If<S>3863</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> were pleased<S>2654</S> to kill<S>4191</S> us, he would not have received<S>3947</S> a burnt offering<S>5930</S> and a meat offering<S>4503</S> at our hands<S>3027</S>, neither would he have showed<S>7200</S> us all these <i>things</i>, nor would as at this time<S>6256</S> have told<S>8085</S> us <i>such things</i> as these<S>2063</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> bore<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Samson<S>8123</S>: and the child<S>5288</S> grew<S>1431</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> blessed<S>1288</S> him.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> to move him at times<S>6470</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> between Zorah<S>6881</S> and Eshtaol<S>847</S>. <n>the camp…: Heb. Mahanehdan</n>


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> went down<S>3381</S> to Timnath<S>8553</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> in Timnath<S>8553</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And he came up<S>5927</S>, and told<S>5046</S> his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I have seen<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> in Timnath<S>8553</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: now therefore get<S>3947</S> her for me for a wife<S>802</S>.


text:
Then his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S> said<S>559</S> to him, <i>Is there </i>not<S>369</S> a woman<S>802</S> among the daughters<S>1323</S> of thy brethren<S>251</S>, or among all my people<S>5971</S>, that thou goest<S>1980</S> to take<S>3947</S> a wife<S>802</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistines<S>6430</S>? And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> to his father<S>1</S>, Get<S>3947</S> her for me; for she pleaseth me well<S>3474</S> <S>5869</S>. <n>pleaseth…: Heb. is right in mine eyes</n>


text:
But his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S> knew<S>3045</S> not that it <i>was</i> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, that he sought<S>1245</S> an occasion<S>8385</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S>: for at that time<S>6256</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> had dominion<S>4910</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then went<S>3381</S> Samson<S>8123</S> down<S>3381</S>, and his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S>, to Timnath<S>8553</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the vineyards<S>3754</S> of Timnath<S>8553</S>: and, behold, a young<S>3715</S> lion<S>738</S> roared<S>7580</S> against<S>7125</S> him. <n>against…: Heb. in meeting him</n>


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came mightily<S>6743</S> upon him, and he tore<S>8156</S> him as he would have torn<S>8156</S> a kid<S>1423</S>, and <i>he had </i>nothing<S>3972</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>: but he told<S>5046</S> not his father<S>1</S> or his mother<S>517</S> what he had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he went down<S>3381</S>, and talked<S>1696</S> with the woman<S>802</S>; and she pleased<S>3474</S> Samson<S>8123</S> well<S>3474</S> <S>5869</S>.


text:
And after a time<S>3117</S> he returned<S>7725</S> to take<S>3947</S> her, and he turned aside<S>5493</S> to see<S>7200</S> the carcase<S>4658</S> of the lion<S>738</S>: and, behold, <i>there was</i> a swarm<S>5712</S> of bees<S>1682</S> and honey<S>1706</S> in the carcase<S>1472</S> of the lion<S>738</S>.


text:
And he took<S>7287</S> of it in his hands<S>3709</S>, and went on<S>3212</S> eating<S>398</S>, and came<S>1980</S> to his father<S>1</S> and mother<S>517</S>, and he gave<S>5414</S> them, and they ate<S>398</S>: but he told<S>5046</S> them not that he had taken<S>7287</S> the honey<S>1706</S> out of the carcase<S>1472</S> of the lion<S>738</S>.


text:
So his father<S>1</S> went down<S>3381</S> to the woman<S>802</S>: and Samson<S>8123</S> made<S>6213</S> there a feast<S>4960</S>; for so used the young men<S>970</S> to do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when they saw<S>7200</S> him, that they brought<S>3947</S> thirty<S>7970</S> companions<S>4828</S> to be with him.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> to them, I will now tell<S>2330</S> a riddle<S>2420</S> to you: if ye can certainly<S>5046</S> declare<S>5046</S> it me within the seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> of the feast<S>4960</S>, and find <i>it </i>out<S>4672</S>, then I will give<S>5414</S> you thirty<S>7970</S> sheets<S>5466</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> change<S>2487</S> of garments<S>899</S>: <n>sheets: or, shirts</n>


text:
But if ye cannot<S>3201</S> declare<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to me, then shall ye give<S>5414</S> me thirty<S>7970</S> sheets<S>5466</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> change<S>2487</S> of garments<S>899</S>. And they said<S>559</S> to him, Tell<S>2330</S> thy riddle<S>2420</S>, that we may hear<S>8085</S> it. <n>sheets: or, shirts</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, Out of the eater<S>398</S> came forth<S>3318</S> food<S>3978</S>, and out of the strong<S>5794</S> came forth<S>3318</S> sweetness<S>4966</S>. And they could<S>3201</S> not in three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> expound<S>5046</S> the riddle<S>2420</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that they said<S>559</S> to Samson’s<S>8123</S> wife<S>802</S>, Entice<S>6601</S> thy husband<S>376</S>, that he may declare<S>5046</S> to us the riddle<S>2420</S>, lest we burn<S>8313</S> thee and thy father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S> with fire<S>784</S>: have ye called<S>7121</S> us to take what we possess<S>3423</S>? <i>is it</i> not <i>so</i>? <n>take…: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?</n>


text:
And Samson’s<S>8123</S> wife<S>802</S> wept<S>1058</S> before him, and said<S>559</S>, Thou dost but hate<S>8130</S> me, and lovest<S>157</S> me not: thou hast told<S>2330</S> a riddle<S>2420</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of my people<S>5971</S>, and hast not told<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to me. And he said<S>559</S> to her, Behold, I have not told<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to my father<S>1</S> nor to my mother<S>517</S>, and shall I tell<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to thee?


text:
And she wept<S>1058</S> before him the seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, while their feast<S>4960</S> lasted<S>1961</S>: and it came to pass on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that he told<S>5046</S> her, because she pressed him so hard<S>6693</S>: and she told<S>5046</S> the riddle<S>2420</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of her people<S>5971</S>. <n>the seven…: or, the rest of the seven days</n>


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> to him on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S> before the sun<S>2775</S> went down<S>935</S>, What <i>is </i>sweeter<S>4966</S> than honey<S>1706</S>? and what <i>is </i>stronger<S>5794</S> than a lion<S>738</S>? And he said<S>559</S> to them, If<S>3884</S> ye had not plowed<S>2790</S> with my heifer<S>5697</S>, ye had not found out<S>4672</S> my riddle<S>2420</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came<S>6743</S> upon him, and he went down<S>3381</S> to Ashkelon<S>831</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> thirty<S>7970</S> men<S>376</S> of them, and took<S>3947</S> their spoil<S>2488</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> change<S>2487</S> of garments to them who expounded<S>5046</S> the riddle<S>2420</S>. And his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S>, and he went up<S>5927</S> to his father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S>. <n>spoil: or, apparel</n>

But Samson’s<S>8123</S> wife<S>802</S> was <i>given</i> to his companion<S>4828</S>, whom he had used as his friend<S>7462</S>.


text:
But it came to pass after a while<S>3117</S>, in the time<S>3117</S> of wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S>, that Samson<S>8123</S> visited<S>6485</S> his wife<S>802</S> with a kid<S>1423</S> <S>5795</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, I will go in<S>935</S> to my wife<S>802</S> into the chamber<S>2315</S>. But her father<S>1</S> would not allow<S>5414</S> him to go in<S>935</S>.


text:
And her father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S>, I verily<S>559</S> thought<S>559</S> that thou hadst utterly<S>8130</S> hated<S>8130</S> her; therefore I gave<S>5414</S> her to thy companion<S>4828</S>: <i>is</i> not her younger<S>6996</S> sister<S>269</S> fairer<S>2896</S> than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. <n>take…: Heb. let her be thine</n>


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> concerning them, Now<S>6471</S> shall I be more blameless<S>5352</S> than the Philistines<S>6430</S>, though I do<S>6213</S> them harm<S>7451</S>. <n>more…: or, blameless from the Philistines though, etc</n>


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> went<S>3212</S> and caught<S>3920</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> foxes<S>7776</S>, and took<S>3947</S> torches<S>3940</S>, and turned<S>6437</S> tail<S>2180</S> to tail<S>2180</S>, and put<S>7760</S> a<S>259</S> torch<S>3940</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> between two<S>8147</S> tails<S>2180</S>. <n>firebrands: or, torches</n>


text:
And when he had lighted<S>1197</S> the torches<S>3940</S> <S>784</S>, he let <i>them </i>go<S>7971</S> into the standing grain<S>7054</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and burnt up<S>1197</S> both the shocks<S>1430</S>, and also the standing grain<S>7054</S>, with the vineyards<S>3754</S> <i>and </i>olives<S>2132</S>.


text:
Then the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Who hath done<S>6213</S> this? And they answered<S>559</S>, Samson<S>8123</S>, the son in law<S>2860</S> of the Timnite<S>8554</S>, because he had taken<S>3947</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and given<S>5414</S> her to his companion<S>4828</S>. And the Philistines<S>6430</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> her and her father<S>1</S> with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> to them, Though<S>518</S> ye have done<S>6213</S> this<S>2063</S>, yet will I be avenged<S>5358</S> of you, and after<S>310</S> that I will cease<S>2308</S>.


text:
And he smote<S>5221</S> them hip<S>7785</S> and<S>5921</S> thigh<S>3409</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>: and he went down<S>3381</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> in the top<S>5585</S> of the rock<S>5553</S> Etam<S>5862</S>.


text:
Then the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, and spread<S>5203</S> themselves in Lehi<S>3896</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> said<S>559</S>, Why have ye come up<S>5927</S> against us? And they answered<S>559</S>, We have come<S>5927</S> to bind<S>631</S> Samson<S>8123</S>, to do<S>6213</S> to him as he hath done<S>6213</S> to us.


text:
Then three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>3381</S> to the top<S>5585</S> of the rock<S>5553</S> Etam<S>5862</S>, and said<S>559</S> to Samson<S>8123</S>, Knowest<S>3045</S> thou not that the Philistines<S>6430</S> <i>are </i>rulers<S>4910</S> over us? what <i>is</i> this <i>that</i> thou hast done<S>6213</S> to us? And he said<S>559</S> to them, As they did<S>6213</S> to me, so have I done<S>6213</S> to them. <n>went: Heb. went down</n>


text:
And they said<S>559</S> to him, We have come down<S>3381</S> to bind<S>631</S> thee, that we may deliver<S>5414</S> thee into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> to them, Swear<S>7650</S> to me, that ye will not fall upon<S>6293</S> me yourselves.


text:
And they spoke<S>559</S> to him, saying<S>559</S>, No; but we will bind<S>631</S> thee securely<S>631</S>, and deliver<S>5414</S> thee into their hand<S>3027</S>: but surely<S>4191</S> we will not kill<S>4191</S> thee. And they bound<S>631</S> him with two<S>8147</S> new<S>2319</S> cords<S>5688</S>, and brought him up<S>5927</S> from the rock<S>5553</S>.


text:
<i>And</i> when he came<S>935</S> to Lehi<S>3896</S>, the Philistines<S>6430</S> shouted<S>7321</S> against<S>7125</S> him: and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came mightily<S>6743</S> upon him, and the cords<S>5688</S> that <i>were</i> upon his arms<S>2220</S> became as flax<S>6593</S> that was burnt<S>1197</S> with fire<S>784</S>, and his bands<S>612</S> loosed<S>4549</S> from off his hands<S>3027</S>. <n>loosed: Heb. were melted</n>


text:
And he found<S>4672</S> a fresh<S>2961</S> jawbone<S>3895</S> of a donkey<S>2543</S>, and put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>3947</S> it, and slew<S>5221</S> a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> with it. <n>new: Heb. moist</n>


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S>, With the jawbone<S>3895</S> of a donkey<S>2543</S>, heaps<S>2565</S> upon heaps<S>2565</S>, with the jaw<S>3895</S> of a donkey<S>2543</S> have I slain<S>5221</S> a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>. <n>heaps upon…: Heb. an heap, two heaps</n>


text:
And it came to pass, when he had finished<S>3615</S> speaking<S>1696</S>, that he cast away<S>7993</S> the jawbone<S>3895</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>, and called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Ramathlehi<S>7437</S>. <n>Ramathlehi: that is, the lifting up of the jawbone, or, casting away of the jawbone</n>


text:
And he was very<S>3966</S> thirsty<S>6770</S>, and called<S>7121</S> on the LORD<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thou hast given<S>5414</S> this great<S>1419</S> deliverance<S>8668</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S>: and now shall I die<S>4191</S> by thirst<S>6772</S>, and fall<S>5307</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S>?


text:
But God<S>430</S> opened<S>1234</S> an hollow place<S>4388</S> that <i>was</i> in the jaw<S>3895</S>, and there came<S>3318</S> water<S>4325</S> out of it; and when he had drunk<S>8354</S>, his spirit<S>7307</S> came again<S>7725</S>, and he revived<S>2421</S>: therefore he called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of it Enhakkore<S>5875</S>, which <i>is</i> in Lehi<S>3896</S> to this day<S>3117</S>. <n>the jaw: or, Lehi, as called in this chapter Enhakkore: that is, the well of him that called or, cried</n>

And he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Then went<S>3212</S> Samson<S>8123</S> to Gaza<S>5804</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> there an harlot<S>802</S> <S>2181</S>, and went in<S>935</S> to her. <n>harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot</n>


text:
<i>And it was told</i> the Gazites<S>5841</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Samson<S>8123</S> is come<S>935</S> here. And they surrounded<S>5437</S> <i>him</i>, and laid wait<S>693</S> for him all night<S>3915</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and were quiet<S>2790</S> all the night<S>3915</S>, saying<S>559</S>, In the morning<S>1242</S>, when it is day<S>216</S>, we shall kill<S>2026</S> him. <n>quiet: Heb. silence</n>

And Samson<S>8123</S> lay<S>7901</S> till midnight<S>2677</S> <S>3915</S>, and arose<S>6965</S> at midnight<S>2677</S> <S>3915</S>, and took<S>270</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> posts<S>4201</S>, and went away<S>5265</S> with them, bar<S>1280</S> and all, and put<S>7760</S> <i>them</i> upon his shoulders<S>3802</S>, and carried them up<S>5927</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of an hill<S>2022</S> that <i>is </i>before<S>6440</S> Hebron<S>2275</S>. <n>bar…: Heb. with the bar</n>


text:
And it came to pass afterward<S>310</S>, that he loved<S>157</S> a woman<S>802</S> in the valley<S>5158</S> of Sorek<S>7796</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Delilah<S>1807</S>. <n>in…: or, by the brook</n>


text:
And the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> came<S>5927</S> to her, and said<S>559</S> to her, Entice<S>6601</S> him, and see<S>7200</S> where his great<S>1419</S> strength<S>3581</S> <i>lieth</i>, and by what <i>means</i> we may prevail<S>3201</S> against him, that we may bind<S>631</S> him to afflict<S>6031</S> him: and we will give<S>5414</S> thee every one<S>376</S> of us eleven hundred<S>505</S> <S>3967</S> <i>pieces</i> of silver<S>3701</S>. <n>afflict: or, humble</n>


text:
And Delilah<S>1807</S> said<S>559</S> to Samson<S>8123</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me, I pray thee, where thy great<S>1419</S> strength<S>3581</S> <i>lieth</i>, and how thou mayest be bound<S>631</S> to afflict<S>6031</S> thee.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> to her, If they bind<S>631</S> me with seven<S>7651</S> new<S>3892</S> cords<S>3499</S> that were never dried<S>2717</S>, then shall I be weak<S>2470</S>, and be as another<S>259</S> man<S>120</S>. <n>green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist another: Heb. one</n>


text:
Then the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> brought<S>5927</S> to her seven<S>7651</S> new<S>3892</S> cords<S>3499</S> which had not been dried<S>2717</S>, and she bound<S>631</S> him with them. <n>green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist</n>


text:
Now <i>there were</i> men lying in wait<S>693</S>, abiding<S>3427</S> with her in the chamber<S>2315</S>. And she said<S>559</S> to him, The Philistines<S>6430</S> <i>are</i> upon thee, Samson<S>8123</S>. And he broke<S>5423</S> the cords<S>3499</S>, as a string<S>6616</S> of a wick<S>5296</S> is broken<S>5423</S> when it toucheth<S>7306</S> the fire<S>784</S>. So his strength<S>3581</S> was not known<S>3045</S>. <n>toucheth: Heb. smelleth</n>

And Delilah<S>1807</S> said<S>559</S> to Samson<S>8123</S>, Behold, thou hast mocked<S>2048</S> me, and told<S>1696</S> me lies<S>3577</S>: now tell<S>5046</S> me, I pray thee, how thou mayest be bound<S>631</S>.

And he said<S>559</S> to her, If they bind<S>631</S> me securely<S>631</S> with new<S>2319</S> ropes<S>5688</S> that never were used<S>4399</S> <S>6213</S>, then shall I be weak<S>2470</S>, and be as another<S>259</S> man<S>120</S>. <n>that never…: Heb. wherewith work hath not been done</n>

Delilah<S>1807</S> therefore took<S>3947</S> new<S>2319</S> ropes<S>5688</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him with them, and said<S>559</S> to him, The Philistines<S>6430</S> <i>are</i> upon thee, Samson<S>8123</S>. And <i>there were</i> those lying in wait<S>693</S> abiding<S>3427</S> in the chamber<S>2315</S>. And he broke<S>5423</S> them from off his arms<S>2220</S> like a thread<S>2339</S>.


text:
And Delilah<S>1807</S> said<S>559</S> to Samson<S>8123</S>, Until now<S>2008</S> thou hast mocked<S>2048</S> me, and told<S>1696</S> me lies<S>3577</S>: tell<S>5046</S> me how thou mayest be bound<S>631</S>. And he said<S>559</S> to her, If thou weavest<S>707</S> the seven<S>7651</S> locks<S>4253</S> of my head<S>7218</S> with the web<S>4545</S>.


text:
And she fastened<S>8628</S> <i>it</i> with the pin<S>3489</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, The Philistines<S>6430</S> <i>are</i> upon thee, Samson<S>8123</S>. And he awoke<S>3364</S> from his sleep<S>8142</S>, and went away<S>5265</S> with the pin<S>3489</S> of the beam<S>708</S>, and with the web<S>4545</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to him, How<S>349</S> canst thou say<S>559</S>, I love<S>157</S> thee, when thy heart<S>3820</S> <i>is</i> not with me? thou hast mocked<S>2048</S> me these three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>, and hast not told<S>5046</S> me where thy great<S>1419</S> strength<S>3581</S> <i>lieth</i>.


text:
And it came to pass, when she pressed<S>6693</S> him daily<S>3117</S> with her words<S>1697</S>, and urged<S>509</S> him, <i>so</i> that his soul<S>5315</S> was vexed<S>7114</S> to death<S>4191</S>; <n>vexed: Heb. shortened</n>


text:
That he told<S>5046</S> her all his heart<S>3820</S>, and said<S>559</S> to her, There hath not come<S>5927</S> a razor<S>4177</S> upon my head<S>7218</S>; for I <i>have been</i> a Nazarite<S>5139</S> to God<S>430</S> from my mother’s<S>517</S> womb<S>990</S>: if I be shaved<S>1548</S>, then my strength<S>3581</S> will go<S>5493</S> from me, and I shall become weak<S>2470</S>, and be like any <i>other </i>man<S>120</S>.


text:
And when Delilah<S>1807</S> saw<S>7200</S> that he had told<S>5046</S> her all his heart<S>3820</S>, she sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> this once<S>6471</S>, for he hath showed<S>5046</S> me all his heart<S>3820</S>. Then the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> came up<S>5927</S> to her, and brought<S>5927</S> money<S>3701</S> in their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And she made him sleep<S>3462</S> upon her knees<S>1290</S>; and she called<S>7121</S> for a man<S>376</S>, and she caused him to shave off<S>1548</S> the seven<S>7651</S> locks<S>4253</S> of his head<S>7218</S>; and she began<S>2490</S> to afflict<S>6031</S> him, and his strength<S>3581</S> went<S>5493</S> from him.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, The Philistines<S>6430</S> <i>are</i> upon thee, Samson<S>8123</S>. And he awoke<S>3364</S> out of his sleep<S>8142</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will go out<S>3318</S> as at other times before<S>6471</S>, and shake<S>5287</S> myself. And he knew<S>3045</S> not that the LORD<S>3068</S> had departed<S>5493</S> from him.


text:
But the Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>270</S> him, and put out<S>5365</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and brought him down<S>3381</S> to Gaza<S>5804</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him with fetters of brass<S>5178</S>; and he did grind<S>2912</S> in the prison<S>631</S> house<S>1004</S>. <n>put out: Heb. bored out</n>


text:
However the hair<S>8181</S> of his head<S>7218</S> began<S>2490</S> to grow again<S>6779</S> after<S>834</S> he was shaved<S>1548</S>. <n>after…: or, as when he was shaven</n>


text:
Then the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered them together<S>622</S> to offer<S>2076</S> a great<S>1419</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> to Dagon<S>1712</S> their god<S>430</S>, and to rejoice<S>8057</S>: for they said<S>559</S>, Our god<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> Samson<S>8123</S> our enemy<S>341</S> into our hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> saw<S>7200</S> him, they praised<S>1984</S> their god<S>430</S>: for they said<S>559</S>, Our god<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> into our hands<S>3027</S> our enemy<S>341</S>, and the destroyer<S>2717</S> of our country<S>776</S>, who slew<S>2491</S> many<S>7235</S> of us. <n>which…: Heb. and who multiplied our slain</n>


text:
And it came to pass, when their hearts<S>3820</S> were merry<S>2896</S>, that they said<S>559</S>, Call<S>7121</S> for Samson<S>8123</S>, that he may make us sport<S>7832</S>. And they called<S>7121</S> for Samson<S>8123</S> out of the prison<S>631</S> house<S>1004</S>; and he made them<S>6440</S> sport<S>6711</S>: and they set<S>5975</S> him between the pillars<S>5982</S>. <n>them: Heb. before them</n>


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> to the lad<S>5288</S> that held<S>2388</S> him by the hand<S>3027</S>, Permit<S>3240</S> me to feel<S>4184</S> <S>3237</S> the pillars<S>5982</S> upon which the house<S>1004</S> standeth<S>3559</S>, that I may lean<S>8172</S> upon them.


text:
Now the house<S>1004</S> was full<S>4390</S> of men<S>582</S> and women<S>802</S>; and all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> <i>were</i> there; and <i>there were</i> upon the roof<S>1406</S> about three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, that beheld<S>7200</S> while Samson<S>8123</S> made sport<S>7832</S>.

And Samson<S>8123</S> called<S>7121</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> GOD<S>3069</S>, remember<S>2142</S> me, I pray thee, and strengthen<S>2388</S> me, I pray thee, only this once<S>6471</S>, O God<S>430</S>, that I may be at once<S>259</S> avenged<S>5358</S> <S>5359</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> for my two<S>8147</S> eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> took hold<S>3943</S> of the two<S>8147</S> middle<S>8432</S> pillars<S>5982</S> upon which the house<S>1004</S> stood<S>3559</S>, and on which it rested<S>5564</S>, of the one<S>259</S> with his right hand<S>3225</S>, and of the other<S>259</S> with his left<S>8040</S>. <n>on which…: or, he leaned on them</n>

And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S>, Let me die<S>4191</S> <S>5315</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And he bowed<S>5186</S> himself with <i>all his </i>might<S>3581</S>; and the house<S>1004</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon the lords<S>5633</S>, and upon all the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> in it. So the dead<S>4191</S> which he slew<S>4191</S> at his death<S>4194</S> were more<S>7227</S> than <i>they</i> which he slew<S>4191</S> in his life<S>2416</S>. <n>me: Heb. my soul</n>

Then his brethren<S>251</S> and all the house<S>1004</S> of his father<S>1</S> came down<S>3381</S>, and took<S>5375</S> him, and brought <i>him </i>up<S>5927</S>, and buried<S>6912</S> him between Zorah<S>6881</S> and Eshtaol<S>847</S> in the buryingplace<S>6913</S> of Manoah<S>4495</S> his father<S>1</S>.

And there was a man<S>376</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Micah<S>4321</S>.

And he said<S>559</S> to his mother<S>517</S>, The eleven hundred<S>505</S> <S>3967</S> <i>shekels</i> of silver<S>3701</S> that were taken<S>3947</S> from thee, about which thou didst curse<S>422</S>, and spoke<S>559</S> of also in my ears<S>241</S>, behold, the silver<S>3701</S> <i>is</i> with me; I took<S>3947</S> it. And his mother<S>517</S> said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> <i>be thou</i> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, my son<S>1121</S>.

And when he had restored<S>7725</S> the eleven hundred<S>505</S> <S>3967</S> <i>shekels</i> of silver<S>3701</S> to his mother<S>517</S>, his mother<S>517</S> said<S>559</S>, I had wholly<S>6942</S> dedicated<S>6942</S> the silver<S>3701</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> from my hand<S>3027</S> for my son<S>1121</S>, to make<S>6213</S> a graven image<S>6459</S> and a molten image<S>4541</S>: now therefore I will restore<S>7725</S> it to thee.

Yet he restored<S>7725</S> the money<S>3701</S> to his mother<S>517</S>; and his mother<S>517</S> took<S>3947</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> <i>shekels</i> of silver<S>3701</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> them to the silversmith<S>6884</S>, who made<S>6213</S> of it a graven image<S>6459</S> and a molten image<S>4541</S>: and they were in the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4321</S>.

And the man<S>376</S> Micah<S>4318</S> had an house<S>1004</S> of gods<S>430</S>, and made<S>6213</S> an ephod<S>646</S>, and teraphim<S>8655</S>, and consecrated<S>4390</S> <S>3027</S> one<S>259</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>, who became his priest<S>3548</S>. <n>consecrated: Heb. filled the hand</n>

And the man<S>376</S> departed<S>3212</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> from Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S> to sojourn<S>1481</S> where he could find<S>4672</S> <i>a place</i>: and he came<S>935</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, as he journeyed<S>6213</S> <S>1870</S>. <n>as he…: Heb. in making his way</n>

And Micah<S>4318</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Where<S>370</S> do you come<S>935</S> from? And he said<S>559</S> to him, I <i>am</i> a Levite<S>3881</S> of Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S>, and I go<S>1980</S> to sojourn<S>1481</S> where I may find<S>4672</S> <i>a place</i>.

And the Levite<S>3881</S> was content<S>2974</S> to dwell<S>3427</S> with the man<S>376</S>; and the young man<S>5288</S> was to him as one<S>259</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>.

And Micah<S>4318</S> consecrated<S>4390</S> <S>3027</S> the Levite<S>3881</S>; and the young man<S>5288</S> became his priest<S>3548</S>, and was in the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>.

Then said<S>559</S> Micah<S>4318</S>, Now I know<S>3045</S> that the LORD<S>3068</S> will do me good<S>3190</S>, seeing I have a Levite<S>3881</S> for <i>my </i>priest<S>3548</S>.

And the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> sent<S>7971</S> of their family<S>4940</S> five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> from their land<S>7098</S>, men<S>1121</S> of valour<S>2428</S>, from Zorah<S>6881</S>, and from Eshtaol<S>847</S>, to spy<S>7270</S> out the land<S>776</S>, and to search<S>2713</S> it; and they said<S>559</S> to them, Go<S>3212</S>, search<S>2713</S> the land<S>776</S>: who when they came<S>935</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, to the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, they lodged<S>3885</S> there. <n>men of: Heb. sons of</n>

And he said<S>559</S> to them, Thus<S>2090</S> and thus<S>2090</S> dealeth<S>6213</S> Micah<S>4318</S> with me, and hath hired<S>7936</S> me, and I am his priest<S>3548</S>.

And they said<S>559</S> to him, Ask counsel<S>7592</S>, we pray thee, of God<S>430</S>, that we may know<S>3045</S> whether our way<S>1870</S> which we go<S>1980</S> shall be prosperous<S>6743</S>.

And the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S> to them, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>: before<S>5227</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>is</i> your way<S>1870</S> in which ye go<S>3212</S>.

Then the five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Laish<S>3919</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> in it<S>7130</S>, how they dwelt<S>3427</S> careless<S>983</S>, after the manner<S>4941</S> of the Zidonians<S>6722</S>, quiet<S>8252</S> and secure<S>982</S>; and <i>there was</i> no magistrate<S>3423</S> <S>6114</S> in the land<S>776</S>, that might put <i>them</i> to shame<S>3637</S> in <i>any </i>thing<S>1697</S>; and they <i>were </i>far<S>7350</S> from the Zidonians<S>6722</S>, and had no business<S>1697</S> with <i>any </i>man<S>120</S>. <n>Laish: also called, Leshem magistrate: Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraints</n>

And they came<S>935</S> to their brethren<S>251</S> to Zorah<S>6881</S> and Eshtaol<S>847</S>: and their brethren<S>251</S> said<S>559</S> to them, What <i>say</i> ye?

And they said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, that we may go up<S>5927</S> against them: for we have seen<S>7200</S> the land<S>776</S>, and, behold, it <i>is </i>very<S>3966</S> good<S>2896</S>: and <i>are</i> ye still<S>2814</S>? be not slothful<S>6101</S> to go<S>3212</S>, <i>and</i> to enter<S>935</S> to possess<S>3423</S> the land<S>776</S>.

And there went<S>5265</S> from there of the family<S>4940</S> of the Danites<S>1839</S>, out of Zorah<S>6881</S> and out of Eshtaol<S>847</S>, six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> appointed<S>2296</S> with weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>. <n>appointed: Heb. girded</n>

And they went up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Kirjathjearim<S>7157</S>, in Judah<S>3063</S>: therefore they called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Mahanehdan<S>4265</S> to this day<S>3117</S>: behold, <i>it is </i>behind<S>310</S> Kirjathjearim<S>7157</S>.

Then answered<S>6030</S> the five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> that went<S>1980</S> to spy out<S>7270</S> the country<S>776</S> of Laish<S>3919</S>, and said<S>559</S> to their brethren<S>251</S>, Do ye know<S>3045</S> that there is<S>3426</S> in these houses<S>1004</S> an ephod<S>646</S>, and teraphim<S>8655</S>, and a graven image<S>6459</S>, and a molten image<S>4541</S>? now therefore consider<S>3045</S> what ye have to do<S>6213</S>.

And the five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> that went<S>1980</S> to spy out<S>7270</S> the land<S>776</S> went up<S>5927</S>, <i>and</i> came in<S>935</S> there, <i>and </i>took<S>3947</S> the graven image<S>6459</S>, and the ephod<S>646</S>, and the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and the molten image<S>4541</S>: and the priest<S>3548</S> stood<S>5324</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> with the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> <i>that were </i>appointed<S>2296</S> with weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>.

And they said<S>559</S> to him, Hold thy peace<S>2790</S>, lay<S>7760</S> thy hand<S>3027</S> upon thy mouth<S>6310</S>, and go<S>3212</S> with us, and be to us<S>1961</S> a father<S>1</S> and a priest<S>3548</S>: <i>is it </i>better<S>2896</S> for thee to be a priest<S>3548</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, or that thou shouldest be a priest<S>3548</S> to a tribe<S>7626</S> and a family<S>4940</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>?

And the priest’s<S>3548</S> heart<S>3820</S> was glad<S>3190</S>, and he took<S>3947</S> the ephod<S>646</S>, and the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and the graven image<S>6459</S>, and went in<S>935</S> the midst<S>7130</S> of the people<S>5971</S>.

So they turned<S>6437</S> and departed<S>3212</S>, and put<S>7760</S> the little ones<S>2945</S> and the cattle<S>4735</S> and the possessions<S>3520</S> before<S>6440</S> them.

And it came to pass in those days<S>3117</S>, when <i>there was</i> no king<S>4428</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, that there was a certain<S>376</S> Levite<S>3881</S> dwelling<S>1481</S> on the side<S>3411</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, who took<S>3947</S> to him a concubine<S>802</S> <S>6370</S> out of Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S>. <n>a concubine: Heb. a woman a concubine, or, a wife a concubine</n>


text:
And his concubine<S>6370</S> played the harlot<S>2181</S> against him, and went away<S>3212</S> from him to her father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S> to Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S>, and was there four<S>702</S> whole months<S>2320</S> <S>3117</S>. <n>four whole months: or, a year and four month: Heb. days, four months</n>


text:
And her husband<S>376</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> her, to speak<S>1696</S> kindly<S>3820</S> to her, <i>and</i> to bring her again<S>7725</S>, having his servant<S>5288</S> with him, and a couple<S>6776</S> of donkeys<S>2543</S>: and she brought<S>935</S> him into her father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S>: and when the father<S>1</S> of the damsel<S>5291</S> saw<S>7200</S> him, he rejoiced<S>8055</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him. <n>friendly…: Heb. to her heart</n>


text:
And his father in law<S>2859</S>, the damsel’s<S>5291</S> father<S>1</S>, detained<S>2388</S> him; and he abode<S>3427</S> with him three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>: so they ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>, and lodged<S>3885</S> there.


text:
And it came to pass on the fourth<S>7243</S> day<S>3117</S>, when they arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, that he arose<S>6965</S> to depart<S>3212</S>: and the damsel’s<S>5291</S> father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S> to his son in law<S>2860</S>, Strengthen<S>5582</S> thy heart<S>3820</S> with a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and afterward<S>310</S> depart<S>3212</S>. <n>Comfort: Heb.

text:
And they sat down<S>3427</S>, and ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S> both<S>8147</S> of them together<S>3162</S>: for the damsel’s<S>5291</S> father<S>1</S> had said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S>, Be content<S>2974</S>, I pray thee, and tarry all night<S>3885</S>, and let thy heart<S>3820</S> be merry<S>3190</S>.


text:
And when the man<S>376</S> rose<S>6965</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, his father in law<S>2859</S> urged<S>6484</S> him: therefore he lodged<S>3885</S> there again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And he arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> on the fifth<S>2549</S> day<S>3117</S> to depart<S>3212</S>: and the damsel’s<S>5291</S> father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S>, Strengthen<S>5582</S> thy heart<S>3824</S>, I pray thee. And they tarried<S>4102</S> until afternoon<S>3117</S> <S>5186</S>, and they ate<S>398</S> both<S>8147</S> of them. <n>until afternoon: Heb. till the day declined</n>


text:
And when the man<S>376</S> arose<S>6965</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, he, and his concubine<S>6370</S>, and his servant<S>5288</S>, his father in law<S>2859</S>, the damsel’s<S>5291</S> father<S>1</S>, said<S>559</S> to him, Behold, now the day<S>3117</S> draweth<S>7503</S> toward evening<S>6150</S>, I pray you tarry all night<S>3885</S>: behold, the day<S>3117</S> is coming to an end<S>2583</S>, lodge<S>3885</S> here, that thy heart<S>3824</S> may be merry<S>3190</S>; and to morrow<S>4279</S> get you early<S>7925</S> on your way<S>1870</S>, that thou mayest go<S>1980</S> home<S>168</S>. <n>draweth: Heb. is weak the day groweth to an end: Heb. it is the pitching time of the day home: Heb. to thy tent</n>


text:
But the man<S>376</S> would<S>14</S> not tarry that night<S>3885</S>, but he arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> opposite<S>5227</S> Jebus<S>2982</S>, which <i>is </i>Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; and <i>there were</i> with him two<S>6776</S> donkeys<S>2543</S> saddled<S>2280</S>, his concubine<S>6370</S> also <i>was</i> with him. <n>over against: Heb. to over against</n>


text:
<i>And</i> when they <i>were</i> by Jebus<S>2982</S>, the day<S>3117</S> was far<S>3966</S> spent<S>7286</S>; and the servant<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> to his master<S>113</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, I pray thee, and let us turn in<S>5493</S> to this city<S>5892</S> of the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, and lodge<S>3885</S> in it.


text:
And his master<S>113</S> said<S>559</S> to him, We will not turn aside<S>5493</S> here into the city<S>5892</S> of a stranger<S>5237</S>, that <i>is</i> not of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; we will pass over<S>5674</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us draw near<S>7126</S> to one<S>259</S> of these places<S>4725</S> to lodge all night<S>3885</S>, in Gibeah<S>1390</S>, or in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And they passed on<S>5674</S> and went their way<S>3212</S>; and the sun<S>8121</S> went down<S>935</S> upon them <i>when they were </i>by<S>681</S> Gibeah<S>1390</S>, which <i>belongeth</i> to Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
And they turned aside<S>5493</S> there, to go in<S>935</S> <i>and</i> to lodge<S>3885</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>: and when he went in<S>935</S>, he sat down<S>3427</S> in a street<S>7339</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: for <i>there was</i> no man<S>376</S> that took<S>622</S> them into his house<S>1004</S> to lodge<S>3885</S>.


text:
And, behold, there came<S>935</S> an old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> from his work<S>4639</S> out of the field<S>7704</S> at evening<S>6153</S>, who <i>was </i>also<S>376</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>; and he dwelt<S>1481</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>: but the men<S>582</S> of the place<S>4725</S> <i>were </i>Benjamites<S>1145</S>.


text:
And when he had lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, he saw<S>7200</S> a wayfaring<S>732</S> man<S>376</S> in the street<S>7339</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and the old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S>, Where goest<S>3212</S> thou? and where<S>370</S> do you come<S>935</S> from?


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to him, We <i>are </i>passing<S>5674</S> from Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S> toward the side<S>3411</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>; from there <i>am</i> I: and I went<S>3212</S> to Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S>, but I <i>am now </i>going<S>1980</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>; and there <i>is</i> no man<S>376</S> that receiveth<S>622</S> me into <i>his </i>house<S>1004</S>. <n>receiveth: Heb. gathereth</n>


text:
Yet there is<S>3426</S> both straw<S>8401</S> and fodder<S>4554</S> for our donkeys<S>2543</S>; and there is bread<S>3899</S> and wine<S>3196</S> also for me, and for thy handmaid<S>519</S>, and for the young man<S>5288</S> <i>which is</i> with thy servants<S>5650</S>: <i>there is</i> no want<S>4270</S> of any thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And the old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S>, Peace<S>7965</S> <i>be</i> with thee; however<S>7535</S> <i>let</i> all thy wants<S>4270</S> <i>lie</i> upon me; only lodge<S>3885</S> not in the street<S>7339</S>.


text:
So he brought<S>935</S> him into his house<S>1004</S>, and gave fodder<S>1101</S> to the donkeys<S>2543</S>: and they washed<S>7364</S> their feet<S>7272</S>, and ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>.


text:
<i>Now</i> as they were making their hearts<S>3820</S> merry<S>3190</S>, behold, the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, certain<S>582</S> perverted<S>1100</S> men<S>1121</S>, beset<S>5437</S> the house<S>1004</S> on all sides<S>5437</S>, <i>and </i>beat<S>1849</S> at the door<S>1817</S>, and spoke<S>559</S> to the master<S>1167</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, the old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Bring forth<S>3318</S> the man<S>376</S> that came<S>935</S> into thy house<S>1004</S>, that we may know<S>3045</S> him.


text:
And the man<S>376</S>, the master<S>1167</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, went out<S>3318</S> to them, and said<S>559</S> to them, Nay<S>408</S>, my brethren<S>251</S>, <i>nay</i>, I pray you, do not <i>so </i>wickedly<S>7489</S>; seeing<S>310</S> that this man<S>376</S> is come<S>935</S> into my house<S>1004</S>, do<S>6213</S> not this folly<S>5039</S>.


text:
Behold, <i>here is</i> my daughter<S>1323</S> a maiden<S>1330</S>, and his concubine<S>6370</S>; them I will bring out<S>3318</S> now, and humble<S>6031</S> ye them, and do<S>6213</S> with them what seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> to you: but to this man<S>376</S> do<S>6213</S> not so<S>2063</S> vile<S>5039</S> a thing<S>1697</S>. <n>so vile…: Heb. the matter of this folly</n>


text:
But the men<S>582</S> would<S>14</S> not hearken<S>8085</S> to him: so the man<S>376</S> took<S>2388</S> his concubine<S>6370</S>, and brought<S>3318</S> her forth<S>2351</S> to them; and they knew<S>3045</S> her, and abused<S>5953</S> her all the night<S>3915</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>: and when the day<S>7837</S> began to spring<S>5927</S>, they let her go<S>7971</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> the woman<S>802</S> in the dawning<S>6437</S> of the day<S>1242</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the man’s<S>376</S> house<S>1004</S> where her lord<S>113</S> <i>was</i>, till it was light<S>216</S>.


text:
And her lord<S>113</S> rose<S>6965</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and went out<S>3318</S> to go<S>3212</S> his way<S>1870</S>: and, behold, the woman<S>802</S> his concubine<S>6370</S> had fallen down<S>5307</S> <i>at</i> the door<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and her hands<S>3027</S> <i>were</i> upon the threshold<S>5592</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to her, Rise<S>6965</S>, and let us be going<S>3212</S>. But none answered<S>6030</S>. Then the man<S>376</S> took<S>3947</S> her upon a donkey<S>2543</S>, and the man<S>376</S> rose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And when he was come<S>935</S> into his house<S>1004</S>, he took<S>3947</S> a knife<S>3979</S>, and laid hold<S>2388</S> on his concubine<S>6370</S>, and divided<S>5408</S> her, with her bones<S>6106</S>, into twelve<S>8147</S> <S>6240</S> pieces<S>5409</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> her into all the land<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>1961</S>, that all that saw<S>7200</S> it said<S>559</S>, There hath been no such deed<S>2063</S> done nor seen<S>7200</S> from the day<S>3117</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>5927</S> from the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> to this day<S>3117</S>: consider<S>7760</S> of it, take advice<S>5779</S>, and speak<S>1696</S> <i>your minds</i>.


text:
Then all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and the congregation<S>5712</S> was gathered together<S>6950</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beersheba<S>884</S>, with the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, to the LORD<S>3068</S> in Mizpeh<S>4709</S>.


text:
And the chief<S>6438</S> of all the people<S>5971</S>, <i>even</i> of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, presented<S>3320</S> themselves in the assembly<S>6951</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of God<S>430</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>376</S> <S>7273</S> that drew<S>8025</S> sword<S>2719</S>.

(Now the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gone up<S>5927</S> to Mizpeh<S>4709</S>.) Then said<S>559</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Tell<S>1696</S> <i>us</i>, how was<S>1961</S> this wickedness<S>7451</S>?


text:
And the Levite<S>3881</S> <S>376</S>, the husband<S>376</S> of the woman<S>802</S> that was slain<S>7523</S>, answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, I came<S>935</S> into Gibeah<S>1390</S> that <i>belongeth</i> to Benjamin<S>1144</S>, I and my concubine<S>6370</S>, to lodge<S>3885</S>. <n>the Levite: Heb. the man the Levite</n>

And the men<S>1167</S> of Gibeah<S>1390</S> rose<S>6965</S> against me, and surrounded<S>5437</S> the house<S>1004</S> upon me by night<S>3915</S>, <i>and </i>thought<S>1819</S> to have slain<S>2026</S> me: and my concubine<S>6370</S> have they forced<S>6031</S>, that she is dead<S>4191</S>. <n>forced: Heb. humbled</n>


text:
And I took<S>270</S> my concubine<S>6370</S>, and cut her in pieces<S>5408</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> her throughout all the country<S>7704</S> of the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: for they have committed<S>6213</S> lewdness<S>2154</S> and folly<S>5039</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Behold, ye <i>are</i> all children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; give<S>3051</S> here<S>1988</S> your advice<S>1697</S> and counsel<S>6098</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> arose<S>6965</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We will not any<S>376</S> <i>of us </i>go<S>3212</S> to his tent<S>168</S>, neither will we any<S>376</S> <i>of us </i>turn<S>5493</S> into his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But now this <i>shall be</i> the thing<S>1697</S> which we will do<S>6213</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>; <i>we will go up</i> by lot<S>1486</S> against it;


text:
And we will take<S>3947</S> ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> of an hundred<S>3967</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> of a thousand<S>505</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> out of ten thousand<S>7233</S>, to fetch<S>3947</S> provisions<S>6720</S> for the people<S>5971</S>, that they may do<S>6213</S>, when they come<S>935</S> to Gibeah<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, according to all the folly<S>5039</S> that they have wrought<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.

So all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered<S>622</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, knit together<S>2270</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>. <n>knit…: Heb. fellows</n>

Now therefore deliver<S>5414</S> <i>us</i> the men<S>582</S>, the perverted<S>1100</S> men<S>1121</S>, who <i>are</i> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>, that we may put them to death<S>4191</S>, and remove<S>1197</S> the evil<S>7451</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>.

But we may<S>3201</S> not give<S>5414</S> them wives<S>802</S> of our daughters<S>1323</S>: for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have sworn<S>7650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Cursed<S>779</S> <i>be</i> he that giveth<S>5414</S> a wife<S>802</S> to Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
Then they said<S>559</S>, Behold, <i>there is</i> a feast<S>2282</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S> yearly<S>3117</S> <S>3117</S> <i>in a place</i> which <i>is</i> on the north side<S>6828</S> of Bethel<S>1008</S>, on the east side<S>4217</S> <S>8121</S> of the highway<S>4546</S> that goeth up<S>5927</S> from Bethel<S>1008</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>, and on the south<S>5045</S> of Lebonah<S>3829</S>. <n>yearly: Heb. from year to year on the east…: or, toward the sunrising of the highway: or, on the highway</n>


text:
Therefore they commanded<S>6680</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and lie in wait<S>693</S> in the vineyards<S>3754</S>;


text:
And see<S>7200</S>, and, behold, if the daughters<S>1323</S> of Shiloh<S>7887</S> come out<S>3318</S> to dance<S>2342</S> in dances<S>4246</S>, then come ye out<S>3318</S> of the vineyards<S>3754</S>, and catch<S>2414</S> you every man<S>376</S> his wife<S>802</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and go<S>1980</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
And it shall be, when their fathers<S>1</S> or their brethren<S>251</S> come<S>935</S> to us to complain<S>7378</S>, that we will say<S>559</S> to them, Be favourable<S>2603</S> to them for our sakes: because we reserved<S>3947</S> not to each man<S>376</S> his wife<S>802</S> in the war<S>4421</S>: for ye did not give<S>5414</S> to them at this time<S>6256</S>, <i>that</i> ye should be guilty<S>816</S>. <n>Be favourable…: or, Gratify us in them</n>


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and took<S>5375</S> <i>them </i>wives<S>802</S>, according to their number<S>4557</S>, of them that danced<S>2342</S>, whom they caught<S>1497</S>: and they went<S>3212</S> and returned<S>7725</S> to their inheritance<S>5159</S>, and repaired<S>1129</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in them.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> departed<S>1980</S> from there at that time<S>6256</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his tribe<S>7626</S> and to his family<S>4940</S>, and they went<S>3318</S> from there every man<S>376</S> to his inheritance<S>5159</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> <i>there was</i> no king<S>4428</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: every man<S>376</S> did<S>6213</S> <i>that which was </i>right<S>3477</S> in his own eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass in the days<S>3117</S> when the judges<S>8199</S> ruled<S>8199</S>, that there was a famine<S>7458</S> in the land<S>776</S>. And a certain man<S>376</S> of Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S> went<S>3212</S> to dwell<S>1481</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, he, and his wife<S>802</S>, and his two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>. <n>ruled: Heb. judged</n>


text:
And the name<S>8034</S> of the man<S>376</S> <i>was </i>Elimelech<S>458</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of his wife<S>802</S> Naomi<S>5281</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of his two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> Mahlon<S>4248</S> and Chilion<S>3630</S>, Ephrathites<S>673</S> of Bethlehemjudah<S>1035</S> <S>3063</S>. And they came<S>935</S> into the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and continued there. <n>continued: Heb. were</n>


text:
And Elimelech<S>458</S> Naomi’s<S>5281</S> husband<S>376</S> died<S>4191</S>; and she was left<S>7604</S>, and her two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And they took<S>5375</S> for themselves wives<S>802</S> of the women<S>802</S> of Moab<S>4125</S>; the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> <i>was </i>Orpah<S>6204</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>8145</S> Ruth<S>7327</S>: and they dwelt<S>3427</S> there about ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Mahlon<S>4248</S> and Chilion<S>3630</S> died<S>4191</S> also both<S>8147</S> of them; and the woman<S>802</S> was left<S>7604</S> without her two<S>8147</S> sons<S>3206</S> and her husband<S>376</S>.


text:
Then she arose<S>6965</S> with her daughters in law<S>3618</S>, that she might return<S>7725</S> from the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: for she had heard<S>8085</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> how that the LORD<S>3068</S> had visited<S>6485</S> his people<S>5971</S> in giving<S>5414</S> them food<S>3899</S>.


text:
Therefore she went forth<S>3318</S> from the place<S>4725</S> where she was, and her two<S>8147</S> daughters in law<S>3618</S> with her; and they went<S>3212</S> on the way<S>1870</S> to return<S>7725</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> to her two<S>8147</S> daughters in law<S>3618</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, return<S>7725</S> each<S>802</S> to her mother’s<S>517</S> house<S>1004</S>: the LORD<S>3068</S> deal<S>6213</S> kindly<S>2617</S> with you, as ye have dealt<S>6213</S> with the dead<S>4191</S>, and with me.


text:
The LORD<S>3068</S> grant<S>5414</S> you that ye may find<S>4672</S> rest<S>4496</S>, each<S>802</S> <i>of you</i> in the house<S>1004</S> of her husband<S>376</S>. Then she kissed<S>5401</S> them; and they lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> to her, Surely we will return<S>7725</S> with thee to thy people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S>, Turn again<S>7725</S>, my daughters<S>1323</S>: why will ye go<S>3212</S> with me? <i>are</i> there yet <i>any more </i>sons<S>1121</S> in my womb<S>4578</S>, that they may be your husbands<S>582</S>?


text:
Turn again<S>7725</S>, my daughters<S>1323</S>, go<S>3212</S> <i>your way</i>; for I am too old<S>2204</S> to have an husband<S>376</S>. If I should say<S>559</S>, I have<S>3426</S> hope<S>8615</S>, <i>if</i> I should have an husband<S>376</S> also to night<S>3915</S>, and should also bear<S>3205</S> sons<S>1121</S>; <n>should have…: or were with an husband</n>


text:
Would ye wait<S>7663</S> for them<S>3860</S> till they should be grown<S>1431</S>? would ye restrain<S>5702</S> yourselves<S>3860</S> from having husbands<S>376</S>? nay, my daughters<S>1323</S>; for it grieveth<S>4843</S> me much<S>3966</S> for your sakes that the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> hast gone out<S>3318</S> against me. <n>tarry: Heb. hope it grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness</n>


text:
And they lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept again<S>1058</S>: and Orpah<S>6204</S> kissed<S>5401</S> her mother in law<S>2545</S>; but Ruth<S>7327</S> clung<S>1692</S> to her.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Behold, thy sister in law<S>2994</S> hath gone back<S>7725</S> to her people<S>5971</S>, and to her gods<S>430</S>: return<S>7725</S> thou after<S>310</S> thy sister in law<S>2994</S>.


text:
And Ruth<S>7327</S> said<S>559</S>, Entreat<S>6293</S> me not to leave<S>5800</S> thee, <i>or</i> to turn away<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> thee: for where thou goest<S>3212</S>, I will go<S>3212</S>; and where thou lodgest<S>3885</S>, I will lodge<S>3885</S>: thy people<S>5971</S> <i>shall be</i> my people<S>5971</S>, and thy God<S>430</S> my God<S>430</S>: <n>Intreat…: or, Be not against me</n>


text:
Where thou diest<S>4191</S>, will I die<S>4191</S>, and there will I be buried<S>6912</S>: the LORD<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me, and more<S>3254</S> also, <i>if any thing</i> but death<S>4194</S> shall part<S>6504</S> thee and me.


text:
When she saw<S>7200</S> that she was steadfastly resolved<S>553</S> to go<S>3212</S> with her, then she finished<S>2308</S> speaking<S>1696</S> to her. <n>was…: Heb. strengthened herself</n>


text:
So they two<S>8147</S> went<S>3212</S> until they came<S>935</S> to Bethlehem<S>1035</S>. And it came to pass, when they had come<S>935</S> to Bethlehem<S>1035</S>, that all the city<S>5892</S> was moved<S>1949</S> about them, and they said<S>559</S>, <i>Is</i> this Naomi<S>5281</S>?


text:
And she said<S>559</S> to them, Call<S>7121</S> me not Naomi<S>5281</S>, call<S>7121</S> me Mara<S>4755</S>: for the Almighty<S>7706</S> hath dealt very<S>3966</S> bitterly<S>4843</S> with me. <n>Naomi: that is, Pleasant Mara: that is, Bitter</n>


text:
I went out<S>1980</S> full<S>4392</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> hath brought me home again<S>7725</S> empty<S>7387</S>: why <i>then </i>call<S>7121</S> ye me Naomi<S>5281</S>, seeing the LORD<S>3068</S> hath testified<S>6030</S> against me, and the Almighty<S>7706</S> hath afflicted<S>7489</S> me?


text:
So Naomi<S>5281</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>, her daughter in law<S>3618</S>, with her, who returned<S>7725</S> from the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and they came<S>935</S> to Bethlehem<S>1035</S> in the beginning<S>8462</S> of barley<S>8184</S> harvest<S>7105</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> had a kinsman<S>4129</S> <S>3045</S> of her husband’s<S>376</S>, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of wealth<S>2428</S>, of the family<S>4940</S> of Elimelech<S>458</S>; and his name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Boaz<S>1162</S>. <n>Boaz: Gr. Booz</n>


text:
And Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S> said<S>559</S> to Naomi<S>5281</S>, Let me now go<S>3212</S> to the field<S>7704</S>, and glean<S>3950</S> ears of grain<S>7641</S> after<S>310</S> <i>him</i> in whose sight<S>5869</S> I shall find<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S>. And she said<S>559</S> to her, Go<S>3212</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
And she went<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S>, and gleaned<S>3950</S> in the field<S>7704</S> after<S>310</S> the reapers<S>7114</S>: and she happened<S>4745</S> to come<S>7136</S> to a part<S>2513</S> of the field<S>7704</S> <i>belonging</i> to Boaz<S>1162</S>, who <i>was</i> of the kindred<S>4940</S> of Elimelech<S>458</S>. <n>hap…: Heb. hap happened</n>


text:
And, behold, Boaz<S>1162</S> came<S>935</S> from Bethlehem<S>1035</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the reapers<S>7114</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> <i>be</i> with you. And they answered<S>559</S> him, The LORD<S>3068</S> bless<S>1288</S> thee.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Boaz<S>1162</S> to his servant<S>5288</S> that was set<S>5324</S> over the reapers<S>7114</S>, Whose damsel<S>5291</S> <i>is</i> this?


text:
And the servant<S>5288</S> that was set<S>5324</S> over the reapers<S>7114</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, It <i>is</i> the Moabitish<S>4125</S> damsel<S>5291</S> that came back<S>7725</S> with Naomi<S>5281</S> from the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>:


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, I pray you, let me glean<S>3950</S> and gather<S>622</S> after<S>310</S> the reapers<S>7114</S> among the sheaves<S>6016</S>: so she came<S>935</S>, and hath continued<S>5975</S> even<S>227</S> from the morning<S>1242</S> until now, that she tarried<S>3427</S> a little<S>4592</S> in the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Boaz<S>1162</S> to Ruth<S>7327</S>, Hearest<S>8085</S> thou not, my daughter<S>1323</S>? Go<S>3212</S> not to glean<S>3950</S> in another<S>312</S> field<S>7704</S>, neither go<S>5674</S> from here, but abide<S>1692</S> here close by my maidens<S>5291</S>:


text:
<i>Let</i> thy eyes<S>5869</S> <i>be</i> on the field<S>7704</S> that they are reaping<S>7114</S>, and go<S>1980</S> thou after<S>310</S> them: have I not charged<S>6680</S> the young men<S>5288</S> that they shall not touch<S>5060</S> thee? and when thou art thirsty<S>6770</S>, go<S>1980</S> to the vessels<S>3627</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> of <i>that</i> which the young men<S>5288</S> have drawn<S>7579</S>.


text:
Then she fell<S>5307</S> on her face<S>6440</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Why have I found<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in thy eyes<S>5869</S>, that thou shouldest take knowledge<S>5234</S> of me, seeing I <i>am</i> a stranger<S>5237</S>?


text:
And Boaz<S>1162</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> to her, It hath fully<S>5046</S> been shown<S>5046</S> to me, all that thou hast done<S>6213</S> to thy mother in law<S>2545</S> since<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of thy husband<S>376</S>: and <i>how</i> thou hast left<S>5800</S> thy father<S>1</S> and thy mother<S>517</S>, and the land<S>776</S> of thy nativity<S>4138</S>, and hast come<S>3212</S> to a people<S>5971</S> which thou knewest<S>3045</S> not before<S>8543</S> <S>8032</S>.


text:
The LORD<S>3068</S> recompense<S>7999</S> thy work<S>6467</S>, and a full<S>8003</S> reward<S>4909</S> be given thee of the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, under whose wings<S>3671</S> thou hast come<S>935</S> to trust<S>2620</S>.


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, Let me find<S>4672</S> favour<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>; for that thou hast comforted<S>5162</S> me, and for that thou hast spoken<S>1696</S> kindly<S>3820</S> to thy handmaid<S>8198</S>, though I am not like one<S>259</S> of thy handmaidens<S>8198</S>. <n>Let me…: or, I find friendly: Heb. to the heart</n>


text:
And Boaz<S>1162</S> said<S>559</S> to her, At mealtime<S>6256</S> <S>400</S> come<S>5066</S> thou here<S>1988</S>, and eat<S>398</S> of the bread<S>3899</S>, and dip<S>2881</S> thy morsel<S>6595</S> in the vinegar<S>2558</S>. And she sat<S>3427</S> beside<S>6654</S> the reapers<S>7114</S>: and he reached<S>6642</S> for her roasted<S>7039</S> <i>grain</i>, and she ate<S>398</S>, and was satisfied<S>7646</S>, and left<S>3498</S>.


text:
And when she had risen<S>6965</S> to glean<S>3950</S>, Boaz<S>1162</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his young men<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let her glean<S>3950</S> even among the sheaves<S>6016</S>, and reproach<S>3637</S> her not: <n>reproach…: Heb. shame her not</n>


text:
And let fall<S>7997</S> also <i>some</i> of the handfuls<S>6653</S> of purpose<S>7997</S> for her, and leave<S>5800</S> <i>them</i>, that she may glean<S>3950</S> <i>them</i>, and rebuke<S>1605</S> her not.


text:
So she gleaned<S>3950</S> in the field<S>7704</S> until evening<S>6153</S>, and beat out<S>2251</S> that which she had gleaned<S>3950</S>: and it was about an ephah<S>374</S> of barley<S>8184</S>.


text:
And she took <i>it </i>up<S>5375</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>: and her mother in law<S>2545</S> saw<S>7200</S> what she had gleaned<S>3950</S>: and she brought out<S>3318</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> to her what she had reserved<S>3498</S> after she was satisfied<S>7648</S>.


text:
And her mother in law<S>2545</S> said<S>559</S> to her, Where hast thou gleaned<S>3950</S> to day<S>3117</S>? and where<S>375</S> hast thou laboured<S>6213</S>? blessed<S>1288</S> be he that took knowledge<S>5234</S> of thee. And she showed<S>5046</S> her mother in law<S>2545</S> with whom she had wrought<S>6213</S>, and said<S>559</S>, The man’s<S>376</S> name<S>8034</S> with whom I wrought<S>6213</S> to day<S>3117</S> <i>is </i>Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> to her daughter in law<S>3618</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> <i>be</i> he of the LORD<S>3068</S>, who hath not withheld<S>5800</S> his kindness<S>2617</S> to the living<S>2416</S> and to the dead<S>4191</S>. And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> to her, The man<S>376</S> <i>is</i> near of kin<S>7138</S> to us, one of our next kinsmen<S>1350</S>. <n>one of…: or, one that hath right to redeem</n>


text:
And Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S> said<S>559</S>, He said<S>559</S> to me also, Thou shalt keep close<S>1692</S> by my young men<S>5288</S>, until they have ended<S>3615</S> all my harvest<S>7105</S>.

And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> to Ruth<S>7327</S> her daughter in law<S>3618</S>, <i>It is </i>good<S>2896</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>, that thou shouldest go out<S>3318</S> with his maidens<S>5291</S>, that they meet<S>6293</S> thee not in any other<S>312</S> field<S>7704</S>. <n>meet…: or, fall upon thee</n>


text:
So she kept close<S>1692</S> by the maidens<S>5291</S> of Boaz<S>1162</S> to glean<S>3950</S> to the end<S>3615</S> of barley<S>8184</S> harvest<S>7105</S> and of wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S>; and dwelt<S>3427</S> with her mother in law<S>2545</S>.


text:
Then Naomi<S>5281</S> her mother in law<S>2545</S> said<S>559</S> to her, My daughter<S>1323</S>, shall I not seek<S>1245</S> rest<S>4494</S> for thee, that it may be well<S>3190</S> with thee?


text:
And now <i>is</i> not Boaz<S>1162</S> of our kindred<S>4130</S>, with whose maidens<S>5291</S> thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth<S>2219</S> barley<S>8184</S> to night<S>3915</S> in the threshingfloor<S>1637</S>.


text:
Wash<S>7364</S> thyself therefore, and anoint<S>5480</S> thee, and put<S>7760</S> thy raiment<S>8071</S> upon thee, and go down<S>3381</S> to the floor<S>1637</S>: <i>but</i> make not thyself known<S>3045</S> to the man<S>376</S>, until he shall have finished<S>3615</S> eating<S>398</S> and drinking<S>8354</S>.


text:
And it shall be, when he lieth down<S>7901</S>, that thou shalt mark<S>3045</S> the place<S>4725</S> where he shall lie<S>7901</S>, and thou shalt go in<S>935</S>, and uncover<S>1540</S> his feet<S>4772</S>, and lay thee down<S>7901</S>; and he will tell<S>5046</S> thee what thou shalt do<S>6213</S>. <n>uncover: or, lift up the clothes that are on</n>


text:
And she went down<S>3381</S> to the floor<S>1637</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according to all that her mother in law<S>2545</S> bade<S>6680</S> her.


text:
And when Boaz<S>1162</S> had eaten<S>398</S> and drunk<S>8354</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> was merry<S>3190</S>, he went<S>935</S> to lie down<S>7901</S> at the end<S>7097</S> of the heap of grain<S>6194</S>: and she came<S>935</S> softly<S>3909</S>, and uncovered<S>1540</S> his feet<S>4772</S>, and laid herself down<S>7901</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at midnight<S>2677</S> <S>3915</S>, that the man<S>376</S> was afraid<S>2729</S>, and turned<S>3943</S> himself: and, behold, a woman<S>802</S> lay<S>7901</S> at his feet<S>4772</S>. <n>turned: or, took hold on</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Who <i>art</i> thou? And she answered<S>559</S>, I <i>am </i>Ruth<S>7327</S> thy handmaid<S>519</S>: spread<S>6566</S> therefore thy skirt<S>3671</S> over thy handmaid<S>519</S>; for thou <i>art</i> a near kinsman<S>1350</S>. <n>a near…: or, one that hath right to redeem</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> <i>be</i> thou of the LORD<S>3068</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>: <i>for</i> thou hast shown<S>3190</S> more kindness<S>2617</S> in the latter end<S>314</S> than at the beginning<S>7223</S>, inasmuch as thou didst not follow<S>3212</S> <S>310</S> <S>1115</S> young men<S>970</S>, whether poor<S>1800</S> or rich<S>6223</S>.


text:
And now, my daughter<S>1323</S>, fear<S>3372</S> not; I will do<S>6213</S> to thee all that thou requirest<S>559</S>: for all the city<S>8179</S> of my people<S>5971</S> doth know<S>3045</S> that thou <i>art</i> a virtuous<S>2428</S> woman<S>802</S>. <n>city: Heb. gate</n>


text:
And now it is true<S>551</S> that I <i>am thy</i> near kinsman<S>1350</S>: yet there is<S>3426</S> a kinsman<S>1350</S> nearer<S>7138</S> than I.


text:
Tarry<S>3885</S> this night<S>3915</S>, and it shall be in the morning<S>1242</S>, <i>that</i> if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman<S>1350</S>, well<S>2896</S>; let him do the kinsman’s part<S>1350</S>: but if he will<S>2654</S> not do the part of a kinsman<S>1350</S> to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman<S>1350</S> to thee, <i>as</i> the LORD<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>: lie down<S>7901</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>.


text:
And she lay<S>7901</S> at his feet<S>4772</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>: and she rose<S>6965</S> before<S>2958</S> one<S>376</S> could know<S>5234</S> another<S>7453</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Let it not be known<S>3045</S> that a woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to the floor<S>1637</S>.


text:
Also he said<S>559</S>, Bring<S>3051</S> the veil<S>4304</S> that <i>thou hast</i> upon thee, and hold<S>270</S> it. And when she held<S>270</S> it, he measured<S>4058</S> six<S>8337</S> <i>measures</i> of barley<S>8184</S>, and laid<S>7896</S> <i>it</i> on her: and she went<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>. <n>vail: or, sheet, or, apron</n>


text:
And when she came<S>935</S> to her mother in law<S>2545</S>, she said<S>559</S>, Who <i>art</i> thou, my daughter<S>1323</S>? And she told<S>5046</S> her all that the man<S>376</S> had done<S>6213</S> to her.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, These six<S>8337</S> <i>measures</i> of barley<S>8184</S> he gave<S>5414</S> me; for he said<S>559</S> to me, Go<S>935</S> not empty<S>7387</S> to thy mother in law<S>2545</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> she, Sit still<S>3427</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>, until thou knowest<S>3045</S> how the matter<S>1697</S> will fall<S>5307</S>: for the man<S>376</S> will not be in rest<S>8252</S>, until<S>518</S> he hath finished<S>3615</S> the thing<S>1697</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Boaz<S>1162</S> went up<S>5927</S> to the gate<S>8179</S>, and sat down<S>3427</S> there: and, behold, the kinsman<S>1350</S> of whom Boaz<S>1162</S> spoke<S>1696</S> came<S>5674</S> by; to whom he said<S>559</S>, Ho<S>1945</S>, such<S>6423</S> an one<S>492</S>! turn aside<S>5493</S>, sit down<S>3427</S> here. And he turned aside<S>5493</S>, and sat down<S>3427</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> of the elders<S>2205</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Sit ye down<S>3427</S> here. And they sat down<S>3427</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to the kinsman<S>1350</S>, Naomi<S>5281</S>, that hast come again<S>7725</S> out of the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, selleth<S>4376</S> a parcel<S>2513</S> of land<S>7704</S>, which <i>was</i> our brother<S>251</S> Elimelech’s<S>458</S>:


text:
And I thought<S>559</S> to tell<S>1540</S> <S>241</S> thee, saying<S>559</S>, Buy<S>7069</S> <i>it</i> before the inhabitants<S>3427</S>, and before the elders<S>2205</S> of my people<S>5971</S>. If thou wilt redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it</i>, redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it</i>: but if thou wilt not redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it, then </i>tell<S>5046</S> me, that I may know<S>3045</S>: for <i>there is</i> none to redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it </i>besides<S>2108</S> thee; and I <i>am </i>after<S>310</S> thee. And he said<S>559</S>, I will redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it</i>. <n>I thought…: Heb. I said, I will reveal in thine ear</n>


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>, What day<S>3117</S> thou buyest<S>7069</S> the field<S>7704</S> of the hand<S>3027</S> of Naomi<S>5281</S>, thou must buy<S>7069</S> <i>it</i> also of Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of the dead<S>4191</S>, to raise up<S>6965</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the dead<S>4191</S> upon his inheritance<S>5159</S>.


text:
And the kinsman<S>1350</S> said<S>559</S>, I cannot<S>3201</S> redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it</i> for myself, lest I mar<S>7843</S> my own inheritance<S>5159</S>: redeem<S>1350</S> thou my right<S>1353</S> to thyself; for I cannot<S>3201</S> redeem<S>1350</S> <i>it</i>.


text:
Now this <i>was the manner</i> in former time<S>6440</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> concerning redeeming<S>1353</S> and concerning changing<S>8545</S>, for confirming<S>6965</S> all things<S>1697</S>; a man<S>376</S> took off<S>8025</S> his shoe<S>5275</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> <i>it</i> to his neighbour<S>7453</S>: and this <i>was</i> a testimony<S>8584</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Therefore the kinsman<S>1350</S> said<S>559</S> to Boaz<S>1162</S>, Buy<S>7069</S> <i>it</i> for thyself. So he drew off<S>8025</S> his shoe<S>5275</S>.


text:
And Boaz<S>1162</S> said<S>559</S> to the elders<S>2205</S>, and <i>to</i> all the people<S>5971</S>, Ye <i>are </i>witnesses<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that I have bought<S>7069</S> all that <i>was </i>Elimelech’s<S>458</S>, and all that <i>was </i>Chilion’s<S>3630</S> and Mahlon’s<S>4248</S>, of the hand<S>3027</S> of Naomi<S>5281</S>.


text:
Moreover Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Mahlon<S>4248</S>, have I purchased<S>7069</S> to be my wife<S>802</S>, to raise up<S>6965</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the dead<S>4191</S> upon his inheritance<S>5159</S>, that the name<S>8034</S> of the dead<S>4191</S> be not cut off<S>3772</S> from among<S>5973</S> his brethren<S>251</S>, and from the gate<S>8179</S> of his place<S>4725</S>: ye <i>are </i>witnesses<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> in the gate<S>8179</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S>, said<S>559</S>, <i>We are </i>witnesses<S>5707</S>. The LORD<S>3068</S> make<S>5414</S> the woman<S>802</S> that hath come<S>935</S> into thy house<S>1004</S> like Rachel<S>7354</S> and like Leah<S>3812</S>, which two<S>8147</S> built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and do<S>6213</S> thou worthily<S>2428</S> in Ephratah<S>672</S>, and be famous<S>7121</S> <S>8034</S> in Bethlehem<S>1035</S>: <n>do thou…: or, get thee riches, or, power be famous: Heb. proclaim thy name</n>


text:
And let thy house<S>1004</S> be like the house<S>1004</S> of Pharez<S>6557</S>, whom Tamar<S>8559</S> bore<S>3205</S> to Judah<S>3063</S>, of the seed<S>2233</S> which the LORD<S>3068</S> shall give<S>5414</S> thee of this young woman<S>5291</S>.


text:
So Boaz<S>1162</S> took<S>3947</S> Ruth<S>7327</S>, and she was his wife<S>802</S>: and when he went in<S>935</S> to her, the LORD<S>3068</S> gave<S>5414</S> her conception<S>2032</S>, and she bore<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the women<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Naomi<S>5281</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> <i>be</i> the LORD<S>3068</S>, who hath not left<S>7673</S> thee this day<S>3117</S> without a kinsman<S>1350</S>, that his name<S>8034</S> may be famous<S>7121</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. <n>left…: Heb. caused to cease unto thee kinsman: or, redeemer</n>


text:
And he shall be to thee a restorer<S>7725</S> of <i>thy </i>life<S>5315</S>, and a nourisher<S>3557</S> of thy old age<S>7872</S>: for thy daughter in law<S>3618</S>, who loveth<S>157</S> thee, who is better<S>2896</S> to thee than seven<S>7651</S> sons<S>1121</S>, hath borne<S>3205</S> him. <n>a nourisher of: Heb. to nourish thine…: Heb. thy gray hairs</n>


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> took<S>3947</S> the child<S>3206</S>, and laid<S>7896</S> him in her bosom<S>2436</S>, and became his nurse<S>539</S>.


text:
And the women her neighbours<S>7934</S> gave<S>7121</S> him a name<S>8034</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There is a son<S>1121</S> born<S>3205</S> to Naomi<S>5281</S>; and they called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Obed<S>5744</S>: he <i>is</i> the father<S>1</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>, the father<S>1</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Now these <i>are</i> the generations<S>8435</S> of Pharez<S>6557</S>: Pharez<S>6557</S> begat<S>3205</S> Hezron<S>2696</S>,


text:
And Hezron<S>2696</S> begat<S>3205</S> Ram<S>7410</S>, and Ram<S>7410</S> begat<S>3205</S> Amminadab<S>5992</S>,


text:
And Amminadab<S>5992</S> begat<S>3205</S> Nahshon<S>5177</S>, and Nahshon<S>5177</S> begat<S>3205</S> Salmon<S>8009</S>, <n>Salmon: or, Salmah</n>


text:
And Salmon<S>8012</S> begat<S>3205</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>, and Boaz<S>1162</S> begat<S>3205</S> Obed<S>5744</S>,

text:
Now there was a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of Ramathaimzophim<S>7436</S>, of mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and his name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Elkanah<S>511</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroham<S>3395</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Elihu<S>453</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Tohu<S>8459</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zuph<S>6689</S>, an Ephrathite<S>673</S>:


text:
And he had two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>; the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> <i>was </i>Hannah<S>2584</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>8145</S> Peninnah<S>6444</S>: and Peninnah<S>6444</S> had children<S>3206</S>, but Hannah<S>2584</S> had no children<S>3206</S>.


text:
And this<S>1931</S> man<S>376</S> went up<S>5927</S> from his city<S>5892</S> yearly<S>3117</S> <S>3117</S> to worship<S>7812</S> and to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>. And the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, the priests<S>3548</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, <i>were</i> there. <n>yearly: Heb. from year to year</n>


text:
And when the time<S>3117</S> was that Elkanah<S>511</S> offered<S>2076</S>, he gave<S>5414</S> to Peninnah<S>6444</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and to all her sons<S>1121</S> and her daughters<S>1323</S>, portions<S>4490</S>:


text:
But to Hannah<S>2584</S> he gave<S>5414</S> a<S>259</S> worthy<S>639</S> portion<S>4490</S>; for he loved<S>157</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>: but the LORD<S>3068</S> had closed up<S>5462</S> her womb<S>7358</S>. <n>worthy: or, double</n>


text:
And her adversary<S>6869</S> also provoked<S>3707</S> her greatly<S>3708</S>, to make her fret<S>7481</S>, because the LORD<S>3068</S> had closed<S>5462</S> up<S>1157</S> her womb<S>7358</S>. <n>provoked: Heb. angered</n>


text:
And <i>as</i> he did<S>6213</S> so year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>, when<S>1767</S> she went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, so she provoked<S>3707</S> her; therefore she wept<S>1058</S>, and did not eat<S>398</S>. <n>when…: or, from the time that she, etc: Heb. from her going up</n>


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> to her, Hannah<S>2584</S>, why weepest<S>1058</S> thou? and why eatest<S>398</S> thou not? and why is thy heart<S>3824</S> grieved<S>3415</S>? <i>am</i> not I better<S>2896</S> to thee than ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S>?


text:
So Hannah<S>2584</S> rose<S>6965</S> after<S>310</S> they had eaten<S>398</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and after<S>310</S> they had drunk<S>8354</S>. Now Eli<S>5941</S> the priest<S>3548</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon a seat<S>3678</S> by a post<S>4201</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.

And she <i>was</i> in bitterness<S>4751</S> of soul<S>5315</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> bitterly<S>1058</S>. <n>in…: Heb. bitter of soul</n>

And she vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O LORD<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, if thou wilt indeed<S>7200</S> look<S>7200</S> on the affliction<S>6040</S> of thy handmaid<S>519</S>, and remember<S>2142</S> me, and not forget<S>7911</S> thy handmaid<S>519</S>, but wilt give<S>5414</S> to thy handmaid<S>519</S> a son<S>582</S> <S>2233</S>, then I will give<S>5414</S> him to the LORD<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, and there shall no razor<S>4177</S> come<S>5927</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>. <n>a man…: Heb. seed of men</n>

And it came to pass, as she continued<S>7235</S> praying<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, that Eli<S>5941</S> observed<S>8104</S> her mouth<S>6310</S>. <n>continued…: Heb. multiplied to pray</n>


text:
Now Hannah<S>2584</S>, spoke<S>1696</S> in her heart<S>3820</S>; only her lips<S>8193</S> moved<S>5128</S>, but her voice<S>6963</S> was not heard<S>8085</S>: therefore Eli<S>5941</S> thought<S>2803</S> she was drunk<S>7910</S>.


text:
And Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> to her, How long wilt thou be drunk<S>7937</S>? put away<S>5493</S> thy wine<S>3196</S> from thee.


text:
And Hannah<S>2584</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, No, my lord<S>113</S>, I <i>am</i> a woman<S>802</S> of a sorrowful<S>7186</S> spirit<S>7307</S>: I have drunk<S>8354</S> neither wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>7941</S>, but have poured out<S>8210</S> my soul<S>5315</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>. <n>of a sorrowful…: Heb. hard of spirit</n>


text:
Count<S>5414</S> not thy handmaid<S>519</S> for<S>6440</S> a wicked<S>1100</S> woman<S>1323</S>: for out of the abundance<S>7230</S> of my complaint<S>7879</S> and grief<S>3708</S> have I been speaking<S>1696</S>. <n>complaint: or, meditation</n>


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>: and the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> grant<S>5414</S> <i>thee</i> thy petition<S>7596</S> that thou hast asked<S>7592</S> of him.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Let thy handmaid<S>8198</S> find<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>. So the woman<S>802</S> went<S>3212</S> her way<S>1870</S>, and ate<S>398</S>, and her countenance<S>6440</S> was no more <i>sad</i>.


text:
And they rose<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> early<S>7925</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to their house<S>1004</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>: and Elkanah<S>511</S> knew<S>3045</S> Hannah<S>2584</S> his wife<S>802</S>; and the LORD<S>3068</S> remembered<S>2142</S> her.


text:
Therefore it came to pass, when the time<S>3117</S> had arrived<S>8622</S> after Hannah<S>2584</S> had conceived<S>2029</S>, that she bore<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, <i>saying</i>, Because I have asked<S>7592</S> him of the LORD<S>3068</S>. <n>when…: Heb. in revolution of days Samuel: that is, Asked of God</n>


text:
And the man<S>376</S> Elkanah<S>511</S>, and all his house<S>1004</S>, went up<S>5927</S> to offer<S>2076</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and his vow<S>5088</S>.


text:
But Hannah<S>2584</S> went not up<S>5927</S>; for she said<S>559</S> to her husband<S>376</S>, <i>I will not go up</i> until the child<S>5288</S> is weaned<S>1580</S>, and <i>then</i> I will bring<S>935</S> him, that he may appear<S>7200</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and there abide<S>3427</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to her, Do<S>6213</S> what seemeth<S>5869</S> to thee good<S>2896</S>; tarry<S>3427</S> until thou hast weaned<S>1580</S> him; only the LORD<S>3068</S> establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>. So the woman<S>802</S> abode<S>3427</S>, and nursed<S>3243</S> her son<S>1121</S> until she weaned<S>1580</S> him.


text:
And when she had weaned<S>1580</S> him, she took him up<S>5927</S> with her, with three<S>7969</S> bulls<S>6499</S>, and one<S>259</S> ephah<S>374</S> of flour<S>7058</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>: and the child<S>5288</S> <i>was </i>young<S>5288</S>.


text:
And they slew<S>7819</S> a bull<S>6499</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the child<S>5288</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, O<S>994</S> my lord<S>113</S>, <i>as</i> thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, I <i>am</i> the woman<S>802</S> that stood<S>5324</S> by thee here, praying<S>6419</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
For this child<S>5288</S> I prayed<S>6419</S>; and the LORD<S>3068</S> hath given<S>5414</S> me my petition<S>7596</S> which I asked<S>7592</S> of him:


text:
Therefore also I have lent<S>7592</S> him to the LORD<S>3068</S>; as long as he liveth<S>3117</S> he shall be lent<S>7592</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>. And he worshipped<S>7812</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> there. <n>lent him: or, returned him, whom I have obtained by petition he shall…: or, he whom I have obtained by petition shall be returned</n>


text:
And Hannah<S>2584</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>, My heart<S>3820</S> rejoiceth<S>5970</S> in the LORD<S>3068</S>, my horn<S>7161</S> is exalted<S>7311</S> in the LORD<S>3068</S>: my mouth<S>6310</S> is enlarged<S>7337</S> over my enemies<S>341</S>; because I rejoice<S>8055</S> in thy salvation<S>3444</S>.


text:
<i>There is</i> none holy<S>6918</S> as the LORD<S>3068</S>: for <i>there is</i> none besides<S>1115</S> thee: neither <i>is there</i> any rock<S>6697</S> like our God<S>430</S>.


text:
Talk<S>1696</S> no more<S>7235</S> so exceeding<S>1364</S> proudly<S>1364</S>; let <i>no </i>arrogance<S>6277</S> come<S>3318</S> out of your mouth<S>6310</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> <i>is</i> a God<S>410</S> of knowledge<S>1844</S>, and by him actions<S>5949</S> are weighed<S>8505</S>. <n>arrogancy: Heb. hard</n>


text:
The bows<S>7198</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S> <i>are </i>broken<S>2844</S>, and they that stumbled<S>3782</S> are girded<S>247</S> with strength<S>2428</S>.

<i>They that were </i> full<S>7649</S> have hired out<S>7936</S> themselves for bread<S>3899</S>; and <i>they that were </i>hungry<S>7457</S> ceased<S>2308</S>: so that the barren<S>6135</S> hath borne<S>3205</S> seven<S>7651</S>; and she that hath many<S>7227</S> children<S>1121</S> is become feeble<S>535</S>.

The LORD<S>3068</S> killeth<S>4191</S>, and maketh alive<S>2421</S>: he bringeth down<S>3381</S> to the grave<S>7585</S>, and bringeth up<S>5927</S>.

The LORD<S>3068</S> maketh poor<S>3423</S>, and maketh rich<S>6238</S>: he bringeth low<S>8213</S>, and<S>637</S> lifteth up<S>7311</S>.

He raiseth<S>6965</S> the poor<S>1800</S> out of the dust<S>6083</S>, <i>and </i>lifteth<S>7311</S> the beggar<S>34</S> from the dunghill<S>830</S>, to set<S>3427</S> <i>them</i> among princes<S>5081</S>, and to make them inherit<S>5157</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of glory<S>3519</S>: for the pillars<S>4690</S> of the earth<S>776</S> <i>are</i> the LORD’S<S>3068</S>, and he hath set<S>7896</S> the world<S>8398</S> upon them.


text:
He will keep<S>8104</S> the feet<S>7272</S> of his saints<S>2623</S>, and the wicked<S>7563</S> shall be silent<S>1826</S> in darkness<S>2822</S>; for by strength<S>3581</S> shall no man<S>376</S> prevail<S>1396</S>.


text:
The adversaries<S>7378</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> shall be broken to pieces<S>2865</S>; out of heaven<S>8064</S> shall he thunder<S>7481</S> upon them: the LORD<S>3068</S> shall judge<S>1777</S> the ends<S>657</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; and he shall give<S>5414</S> strength<S>5797</S> to his king<S>4428</S>, and exalt<S>7311</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of his anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S> to his house<S>1004</S>. And the child<S>5288</S> ministered<S>1961</S> <S>8334</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
Now the sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> <i>were </i>worthless<S>1100</S> men<S>1121</S>; they knew<S>3045</S> not the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S>’ custom<S>4941</S> with the people<S>5971</S> <i>was, that</i>, when any man<S>376</S> offered<S>2076</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, the priest’s<S>3548</S> servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, while the flesh<S>1320</S> was boiling<S>1310</S>, with a fleshhook<S>4207</S> of three<S>7969</S> teeth<S>8127</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>;


text:
And he struck<S>5221</S> <i>it</i> into the pan<S>3595</S>, or kettle<S>1731</S>, or caldron<S>7037</S>, or pot<S>6517</S>; all that the fleshhook<S>4207</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> for himself. So they did<S>6213</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S> to all the Israelites<S>3478</S> that came<S>935</S> there.


text:
Also before they burnt<S>6999</S> the fat<S>2459</S>, the priest’s<S>3548</S> servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> that sacrificed<S>2076</S>, Give<S>5414</S> flesh<S>1320</S> to roast<S>6740</S> for the priest<S>3548</S>; for he will not have<S>3947</S> boiled<S>1310</S> flesh<S>1320</S> of thee, but raw<S>2416</S>.


text:
And <i>if</i> any man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Let them not fail<S>6999</S> to burn<S>6999</S> the fat<S>2459</S> presently<S>3117</S>, and <i>then </i>take<S>3947</S> <i>as much</i> as thy soul<S>5315</S> desireth<S>183</S>; then he would answer<S>559</S> him, <i>Nay</i>; but thou shalt give<S>5414</S> <i>it to me</i> now: and if not, I will take<S>3947</S> <i>it</i> by force<S>2394</S>. <n>presently: Heb. as on the day</n>


text:
Therefore the sin<S>2403</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>: for men<S>582</S> abhorred<S>5006</S> the offering<S>4503</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
But Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, <i>being</i> a child<S>5288</S>, girded<S>2296</S> with a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
Moreover his mother<S>517</S> made<S>6213</S> him a little<S>6996</S> coat<S>4598</S>, and brought<S>5927</S> <i>it</i> to him from year<S>3117</S> to year<S>3117</S>, when she came up<S>5927</S> with her husband<S>376</S> to offer<S>2076</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
And Eli<S>5941</S> blessed<S>1288</S> Elkanah<S>511</S> and his wife<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S>, The LORD<S>3068</S> give<S>7760</S> thee seed<S>2233</S> of this woman<S>802</S> for the loan<S>7596</S> which is lent<S>7592</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>. And they went<S>1980</S> to their own home<S>4725</S>. <n>loan…: or, petition which she asked, etc</n>


text:
And<S>3588</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> visited<S>6485</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>, so that she conceived<S>2029</S>, and bore<S>3205</S> three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> and two<S>8147</S> daughters<S>1323</S>. And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S> before<S>5973</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was very<S>3966</S> old<S>2204</S>, and heard<S>8085</S> all that his sons<S>1121</S> did<S>6213</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S>; and how they lay<S>7901</S> with the women<S>802</S> that assembled<S>6633</S> <i>at</i> the door<S>6607</S> of the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S>. <n>assembled: Heb. assembled by troops</n>


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, Why do<S>6213</S> ye such things<S>1697</S>? for I hear<S>8085</S> of your evil<S>7451</S> dealings<S>1697</S> by all this people<S>5971</S>. <n>of your…: or, evil words of you</n>


text:
Nay, my sons<S>1121</S>; for <i>it is</i> no good<S>2896</S> report<S>8052</S> that I hear<S>8085</S>: ye make the LORD’S<S>3068</S> people<S>5971</S> to transgress<S>5674</S>. <n>transgress: or, cry out</n>


text:
If one man<S>376</S> shall sin<S>2398</S> against another<S>376</S>, the judge<S>430</S> shall judge<S>6419</S> him: but if a man<S>376</S> shall sin<S>2398</S> against the LORD<S>3068</S>, who shall plead<S>6419</S> for him? However they hearkened<S>8085</S> not to the voice<S>6963</S> of their father<S>1</S>, because the LORD<S>3068</S> would<S>2654</S> slay<S>4191</S> them.


text:
And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> continued<S>1980</S> to grow<S>1432</S>, and was in favour<S>2896</S> both with the LORD<S>3068</S>, and also with men<S>582</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, Did I plainly<S>1540</S> appear<S>1540</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, when they were in Egypt<S>4714</S> in Pharaoh’s<S>6547</S> house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And did I choose<S>977</S> him out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> <i>to be</i> my priest<S>3548</S>, to offer<S>5927</S> upon my altar<S>4196</S>, to burn<S>6999</S> incense<S>7004</S>, to wear<S>5375</S> an ephod<S>646</S> before<S>6440</S> me? and did I give<S>5414</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of thy father<S>1</S> all the offerings made by fire<S>801</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Why trample<S>1163</S> ye at my sacrifice<S>2077</S> and at my offering<S>4503</S>, which I have commanded<S>6680</S> <i>in my </i>habitation<S>4583</S>; and honourest<S>3513</S> thy sons<S>1121</S> above me, to make yourselves fat<S>1254</S> with the chiefest<S>7225</S> of all the offerings<S>4503</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> my people<S>5971</S>?


text:
Therefore the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saith<S>5002</S>, I said<S>559</S> indeed<S>559</S> <i>that</i> thy house<S>1004</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, should walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> me for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>: but now the LORD<S>3068</S> saith<S>5002</S>, Be it far from me<S>2486</S>; for them that honour<S>3513</S> me I will honour<S>3513</S>, and they that despise<S>959</S> me shall be lightly esteemed<S>7043</S>.

Behold, the days<S>3117</S> come<S>935</S>, that I will cut off<S>1438</S> thy arm<S>2220</S>, and the arm<S>2220</S> of thy father’s<S>1</S> house<S>1004</S>, that there shall not be an old man<S>2205</S> in thy house<S>1004</S>.

And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S>. And the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was rare<S>3368</S> in those days<S>3117</S>; <i>there was</i> no frequent<S>6555</S> vision<S>2377</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at that time<S>3117</S>, when Eli<S>5941</S> <i>was</i> lying down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S>, and his eyes<S>5869</S> began<S>2490</S> to grow dim<S>3544</S>, <i>that</i> he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>;


text:
And before the lamp<S>5216</S> of God<S>430</S> went out<S>3518</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, where the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> <i>was</i>, and Samuel<S>8050</S> was lying down<S>7901</S> <i>to sleep</i>;


text:
That the LORD<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>: and he answered<S>559</S>, Here <i>am</i> I.


text:
And he ran<S>7323</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here <i>am </i>I<S>2009</S>; for thou didst call<S>7121</S> me. And he said<S>559</S>, I called<S>7121</S> not; lie down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>. And he went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> yet again<S>3254</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here <i>am</i> I; for thou didst call<S>7121</S> me. And he answered<S>559</S>, I called<S>7121</S> not, my son<S>1121</S>; lie down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> did not yet<S>2962</S> know<S>3045</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, neither was the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> yet revealed<S>1540</S> to him. <n>Now…: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him</n>


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> again<S>3254</S> the third time<S>7992</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Here <i>am</i> I; for thou didst call<S>7121</S> me. And Eli<S>5941</S> perceived<S>995</S> that the LORD<S>3068</S> had called<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
Therefore Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, lie down<S>7901</S>: and it shall be, if he should call<S>7121</S> thee, that thou shalt say<S>559</S>, Speak<S>1696</S>, LORD<S>3068</S>; for thy servant<S>5650</S> heareth<S>8085</S>. So Samuel<S>8050</S> went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S>, and stood<S>3320</S>, and called<S>7121</S> as at other times<S>6471</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>. Then Samuel<S>8050</S> answered<S>559</S>, Speak<S>1696</S>; for thy servant<S>5650</S> heareth<S>8085</S>.


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Behold, I will do<S>6213</S> a thing<S>1697</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, at which both<S>8147</S> the ears<S>241</S> of every one that heareth<S>8085</S> it shall tingle<S>6750</S>.


text:
In that day<S>3117</S> I will perform<S>6965</S> against Eli<S>5941</S> all <i>things</i> which I have spoken<S>1696</S> concerning<S>413</S> his house<S>1004</S>: when I begin<S>2490</S>, I will also make an end<S>3615</S>. <n>when…: Heb. beginning and ending</n>


text:
For I have told<S>5046</S> him that I will judge<S>8199</S> his house<S>1004</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S> for the iniquity<S>5771</S> which he knoweth<S>3045</S>; because his sons<S>1121</S> made themselves vile<S>7043</S>, and he restrained<S>3543</S> them not. <n>For I…: or, And I will tell him vile: or, accursed restrained…: Heb. frowned not upon them</n>


text:
And therefore I have sworn<S>7650</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, that the iniquity<S>5771</S> of Eli’s<S>5941</S> house<S>1004</S> shall not be purged<S>3722</S> with sacrifice<S>2077</S> nor offering<S>4503</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.

And Samuel<S>8050</S> lay<S>7901</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> feared<S>3372</S> to tell<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S> the vision<S>4759</S>.


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S>, my son<S>1121</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, Here <i>am</i> I.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What <i>is</i> the thing<S>1697</S> that <i>the LORD</i> hath said<S>1696</S> to thee? I pray thee hide<S>3582</S> <i>it</i> not from me: God<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> to thee, and more also<S>3254</S>, if thou shalt hide<S>3582</S> <i>any </i>thing<S>1697</S> from me of all the things<S>1697</S> that he said<S>1696</S> to thee. <n>more also: Heb. so add thing: or, word</n>


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>5046</S> him every thing<S>1697</S>, and hid<S>3582</S> nothing from him. And he said<S>559</S>, It <i>is</i> the LORD<S>3068</S>: let him do<S>6213</S> what seemeth<S>5869</S> him good<S>2896</S>. <n>every…: Heb. all the things, or, words</n>


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> was with him, and let none of his words<S>1697</S> fall<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beersheba<S>884</S> knew<S>3045</S> that Samuel<S>8050</S> <i>was </i>established<S>539</S> <i>to be</i> a prophet<S>5030</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>. <n>established: or, faithful</n>


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> again<S>3254</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> revealed<S>1540</S> himself to Samuel<S>8050</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the word<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S> came to all Israel<S>3478</S>. Now Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> beside Ebenezer<S>72</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in Aphek<S>663</S>. <n>came: or, came to pass: Heb. was</n>


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> put themselves in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and when they joined<S>5203</S> battle<S>4421</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> was smitten<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and they slew<S>5221</S> of the army<S>4634</S> in the field<S>7704</S> about four<S>702</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>. <n>they joined…: Heb. the battle was spread army: Heb. array</n>


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> had come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Why hath the LORD<S>3068</S> smitten<S>5062</S> us to day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? Let us bring<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> out of Shiloh<S>7887</S> to us, that, when it cometh<S>935</S> among<S>7130</S> us, it may save<S>3467</S> us from the hand<S>3709</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>. <n>fetch: Heb. take unto us</n>


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>, that they might bring<S>5375</S> from there the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, who dwelleth<S>3427</S> <i>between</i> the cherubim<S>3742</S>: and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, <i>were</i> there with the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And when the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> came<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>, all Israel<S>3478</S> shouted<S>7321</S> with a great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S>, so that the earth<S>776</S> shook<S>1949</S>.


text:
And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the shout<S>8643</S>, they said<S>559</S>, What <i>meaneth</i> the noise<S>6963</S> of this great<S>1419</S> shout<S>8643</S> in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Hebrews<S>5680</S>? And they understood<S>3045</S> that the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> had come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> were afraid<S>3372</S>, for they said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> hath come<S>935</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>. And they said<S>559</S>, Woe<S>188</S> to us! for there hath not been such a thing before<S>865</S> <S>8032</S>. <n>heretofore: Heb. yesterday, or, the third day</n>

Woe<S>188</S> to us! who shall deliver<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of these mighty<S>117</S> Gods<S>430</S>? these <i>are</i> the Gods<S>430</S> that smote<S>5221</S> the Egyptians<S>4714</S> with all the plagues<S>4347</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.

Be strong<S>2388</S>, and acquit<S>1961</S> yourselves like men<S>582</S>, O ye Philistines<S>6430</S>, that ye may not be servants<S>5647</S> to the Hebrews<S>5680</S>, as they have been<S>5647</S> to you: acquit<S>1961</S> yourselves like men<S>582</S>, and fight<S>3898</S>. <n>quit…: Heb. be men</n>


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> fought<S>3898</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> was smitten<S>5062</S>, and they fled<S>5127</S> every man<S>376</S> into his tent<S>168</S>: and there was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; for there fell<S>5307</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>; and the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, were slain<S>4191</S>. <n>were slain: Heb. died</n>

And there ran<S>7323</S> a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S> the same day<S>3117</S> with his clothes<S>4055</S> torn<S>7167</S>, and with earth<S>127</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>.

And when he came<S>935</S>, lo, Eli<S>5941</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon a seat<S>3678</S> by the way side<S>1870</S> <S>3027</S> <S>3197</S> watching<S>6822</S>: for his heart<S>3820</S> trembled<S>2730</S> for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>. And when the man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and told<S>5046</S> <i>it</i>, all the city<S>5892</S> cried out<S>2199</S>.

And when Eli<S>5941</S> heard<S>8085</S> the noise<S>6963</S> of the crying<S>6818</S>, he said<S>559</S>, What <i>meaneth</i> the noise<S>6963</S> of this tumult<S>1995</S>? And the man<S>376</S> came<S>935</S> in hastily<S>4116</S>, and told<S>5046</S> Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was ninety<S>8673</S> and eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were dim<S>6965</S>, that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>. <n>were dim: Heb. stood</n>

And the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, I <i>am</i> he that came<S>935</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>, and I fled<S>5127</S> to day<S>3117</S> out of the army<S>4634</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, What is there done<S>1697</S>, my son<S>1121</S>? <n>is…: Heb. is the thing</n>

And the messenger<S>1319</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Israel<S>3478</S> hath fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and there hath been also a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4046</S> among the people<S>5971</S>, and thy two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> also, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, are dead<S>4191</S>, and the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when he made mention<S>2142</S> of the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, that he fell<S>5307</S> from off the seat<S>3678</S> backward<S>322</S> by<S>1157</S> the side<S>3027</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>, and his neck<S>4665</S> broke<S>7665</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>: for he was an old<S>2204</S> man<S>376</S>, and heavy<S>3513</S>. And he had judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.

And his daughter in law<S>3618</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Phinehas<S>6372</S>, was with child<S>2030</S>, <i>near</i> to be delivered<S>3205</S>: and when she heard<S>8085</S> the tidings<S>8052</S> that<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and that her father in law<S>2524</S> and her husband<S>376</S> were dead<S>4191</S>, she bowed<S>3766</S> herself and travailed<S>3205</S>; for her pains<S>6735</S> came<S>2015</S> upon her. <n>be delivered: or, cry out came: Heb. were turned</n>

And about the time<S>6256</S> of her death<S>4191</S> the women that stood<S>5324</S> by her said<S>1696</S> to her, Fear<S>3372</S> not; for thou hast borne<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>. But she answered<S>6030</S> not, neither did she regard<S>7896</S> <S>3820</S> <i>it</i>. <n>neither…: Heb. set not her heart</n>

And she named<S>7121</S> the child<S>5288</S> Ichabod<S>350</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The glory<S>3519</S> hath departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>: because<S>413</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was taken<S>3947</S>, and because of her father in law<S>2524</S> and her husband<S>376</S>. <n>Ichabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory</n>

And she said<S>559</S>, The glory<S>3519</S> hath departed<S>1540</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>: for the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> is taken<S>3947</S>.

And the Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it from Ebenezer<S>72</S> to Ashdod<S>795</S>.

When the Philistines<S>6430</S> took<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>, they brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, and set<S>3322</S> it by<S>681</S> Dagon<S>1712</S>.

And when they arose early<S>7925</S> on the next<S>4283</S> morning<S>1242</S>, behold, Dagon<S>1712</S> <i>had </i>fallen<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>; and the head<S>7218</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> and both<S>8147</S> the palms<S>3709</S> of his hands<S>3027</S> <i>were</i> cut off<S>3772</S> upon the threshold<S>4670</S>; only <i>the stump of </i>Dagon<S>1712</S> was left<S>7604</S> to him. <n>the stump…: or, the fishy part</n>


text:
Therefore neither the priests<S>3548</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S>, nor any that come<S>935</S> into Dagon’s<S>1712</S> house<S>1004</S>, tread<S>1869</S> on the threshold<S>4670</S> of Dagon<S>1712</S> in Ashdod<S>795</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was heavy<S>3513</S> upon them of Ashdod<S>796</S>, and he destroyed<S>8074</S> them, and smote<S>5221</S> them with haemorrhoids<S>2914</S> <S>6076</S>, <i>even </i>Ashdod<S>795</S> and its land<S>1366</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of Ashdod<S>795</S> saw<S>7200</S> that <i>it was</i> so, they said<S>559</S>, The ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall not abide<S>3427</S> with us: for his hand<S>3027</S> is heavy<S>7185</S> upon us, and upon Dagon<S>1712</S> our god<S>430</S>.


text:
They sent<S>7971</S> therefore and gathered<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> to them, and said<S>559</S>, What shall we do<S>6213</S> with the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? And they answered<S>559</S>, Let the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> be carried about<S>5437</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>. And they carried<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> <i>there</i>.


text:
And it was <i>so</i>, that, after<S>310</S> they had carried it<S>5437</S> there, the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was against the city<S>5892</S> with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> destruction<S>4103</S>: and he smote<S>5221</S> the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S>, and they had haemorrhoids<S>2914</S> <S>6076</S> in their secret parts<S>8368</S>.


text:
Therefore they sent<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>. And it came to pass, as the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S>, that the Ekronites<S>6139</S> cried out<S>2199</S>, saying<S>559</S>, They have brought about<S>5437</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to us, to slay<S>4191</S> us and our people<S>5971</S>. <n>us, to…: Heb. me to slay me and my</n>


text:
So they sent<S>7971</S> and gathered together<S>622</S> all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and let it go again<S>7725</S> to its own place<S>4725</S>, that it slay<S>4191</S> us not, and our people<S>5971</S>: for there was a deadly<S>4194</S> destruction<S>4103</S> throughout all the city<S>5892</S>; the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> was very<S>3966</S> heavy<S>3513</S> there. <n>us not…: Heb. me not, and my</n>


text:
And the men<S>582</S> that died<S>4191</S> not were smitten<S>5221</S> with the haemorrhoids<S>2914</S> <S>6076</S>: and the cry<S>7775</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went up<S>5927</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> seven<S>7651</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> called<S>7121</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and the diviners<S>7080</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What shall we do<S>6213</S> to the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>? tell<S>3045</S> us how we shall send<S>7971</S> it to its place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, If ye send away<S>7971</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, send<S>7971</S> it not empty<S>7387</S>; but by all means<S>7725</S> return<S>7725</S> him a trespass offering<S>817</S>: then ye shall be healed<S>7495</S>, and it shall be known<S>3045</S> to you why his hand<S>3027</S> is not removed<S>5493</S> from you.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> they, What <i>shall be</i> the trespass offering<S>817</S> which we shall return<S>7725</S> to him? They answered<S>559</S>, Five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> haemorrhoids<S>2914</S> <S>6076</S>, and five<S>2568</S> golden<S>2091</S> mice<S>5909</S>, <i>according to</i> the number<S>4557</S> of the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: for one<S>259</S> plague<S>4046</S> <i>was</i> on you all, and on your lords<S>5633</S>. <n>you: Heb. them</n>


text:
Therefore ye shall make<S>6213</S> images<S>6754</S> of your haemorrhoids<S>2914</S> <S>6076</S>, and images<S>6754</S> of your mice<S>5909</S> that mar<S>7843</S> the land<S>776</S>; and ye shall give<S>5414</S> glory<S>3519</S> to the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: perhaps he will lighten<S>7043</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from off you, and from off your gods<S>430</S>, and from off your land<S>776</S>.


text:
Why then do ye harden<S>3513</S> your hearts<S>3824</S>, as the Egyptians<S>4714</S> and Pharaoh<S>6547</S> hardened<S>3513</S> their hearts<S>3820</S>? when he had wrought wonderfully<S>5953</S> among them, did they not let the people go<S>7971</S>, and they departed<S>3212</S>? <n>wonderfully: or, reproachfully the people: Heb. them</n>


text:
Now therefore make<S>6213</S> a<S>259</S> new<S>2319</S> cart<S>5699</S>, and take<S>3947</S> two<S>8147</S> milk<S>5763</S> cows<S>6510</S>, on which there hath come<S>5927</S> no yoke<S>5923</S>, and tie<S>631</S> the cows<S>6510</S> to the cart<S>5699</S>, and bring<S>7725</S> their calves<S>1121</S> home<S>1004</S> from them<S>310</S>:


text:
And take<S>3947</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it upon the cart<S>5699</S>; and put<S>7760</S> the jewels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, which ye return<S>7725</S> to him <i>for</i> a trespass offering<S>817</S>, in a box<S>712</S> by its side<S>6654</S>; and send it away<S>7971</S>, that it may go<S>1980</S>.


text:
And see<S>7200</S>, if it goeth up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of its own land<S>1366</S> to Bethshemesh<S>1053</S>, <i>then</i> he hath done<S>6213</S> us this great<S>1419</S> evil<S>7451</S>: but if not, then we shall know<S>3045</S> that <i>it is</i> not his hand<S>3027</S> <i>that </i>smote<S>5060</S> us: it <i>was</i> a chance<S>4745</S> <i>that</i> happened to us<S>1961</S>. <n>he: or, it</n>


text:
And the men<S>582</S> did so<S>6213</S>; and took<S>3947</S> two<S>8147</S> milk<S>5763</S> cows<S>6510</S>, and tied<S>631</S> them to the cart<S>5699</S>, and shut up<S>3607</S> their calves<S>1121</S> at home<S>1004</S>:


text:
And they laid<S>7760</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> upon the cart<S>5699</S>, and the box<S>712</S> with the mice<S>5909</S> of gold<S>2091</S> and the images<S>6754</S> of their haemorrhoids<S>2914</S>.


text:
And the cows<S>6510</S> took the straight<S>3474</S> way<S>1870</S> to the way<S>1870</S> of Bethshemesh<S>1053</S>, <i>and</i> went along<S>1980</S> the highway<S>4546</S> <S>259</S>, lowing<S>1600</S> as they went<S>1980</S>, and turned not aside<S>5493</S> <i>to</i> the right hand<S>3225</S> or <i>to</i> the left<S>8040</S>; and the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> them to the border<S>1366</S> of Bethshemesh<S>1053</S>.


text:
And <i>they of </i>Bethshemesh<S>1053</S> <i>were </i>reaping<S>7114</S> their wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> in the valley<S>6010</S>: and they lifted up<S>5375</S> their eyes<S>5869</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the ark<S>727</S>, and rejoiced<S>8055</S> to see<S>7200</S> <i>it</i>.


text:
And the cart<S>5699</S> came<S>935</S> into the field<S>7704</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>, a Bethshemite<S>1030</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> there, where <i>there was</i> a great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S>: and they cut up<S>1234</S> the wood<S>6086</S> of the cart<S>5699</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> the cows<S>6510</S> as a burnt offering<S>5930</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the Levites<S>3881</S> took down<S>3381</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and the box<S>712</S> that <i>was</i> with it, in which <i>were</i> the jewels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and put<S>7760</S> <i>them</i> on the great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S>: and the men<S>582</S> of Bethshemesh<S>1053</S> offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrificed<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> the same day<S>3117</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>.

And when the five<S>2568</S> lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> had seen<S>7200</S> <i>it</i>, they returned<S>7725</S> to Ekron<S>6138</S> the same day<S>3117</S>.

And he smote<S>5221</S> the men<S>376</S> of Bethshemesh<S>1053</S>, because they had looked<S>7200</S> into the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, even he smote<S>5221</S> of the people<S>5971</S> fifty<S>2572</S> thousand<S>505</S> and seventy<S>7657</S> men<S>582</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> lamented<S>56</S>, because the LORD<S>3068</S> had smitten<S>5221</S> <i>many</i> of the people<S>5971</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.

text:
And they sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Kirjathjearim<S>7157</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The Philistines<S>6430</S> have brought again<S>7725</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>; come ye down<S>3381</S>, <i>and</i> bring it up<S>5927</S> to you.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Kirjathjearim<S>7157</S> came<S>935</S>, and brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it into the house<S>1004</S> of Abinadab<S>41</S> on the hill<S>1389</S>, and sanctified<S>6942</S> Eleazar<S>499</S> his son<S>1121</S> to keep<S>8104</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, while<S>3117</S> the ark<S>727</S> abode<S>3427</S> in Kirjathjearim<S>7157</S>, that the time<S>3117</S> was long<S>7235</S>; for it was twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lamented<S>5091</S> after<S>310</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> spoke<S>559</S> to all the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If ye do return<S>7725</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> with all your hearts<S>3824</S>, <i>then</i> put away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S> from among<S>8432</S> you, and prepare<S>3559</S> your hearts<S>3824</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him only: and he will deliver<S>5337</S> you from the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> put away<S>5493</S> Baalim<S>1168</S> and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> only.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Gather<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> to Mizpeh<S>4708</S>, and I will pray<S>6419</S> for you to the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they gathered together<S>6908</S> at Mizpeh<S>4709</S>, and drew<S>7579</S> water<S>4325</S>, and poured <i>it </i>out<S>8210</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, and there said<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S> against the LORD<S>3068</S>.

And when the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S> at Mizpeh<S>4708</S>, the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.

And Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> sucking<S>2461</S> lamb<S>2924</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> <i>it for</i> a burnt offering<S>5930</S> wholly<S>3632</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>: and Samuel<S>8050</S> cried<S>2199</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>; and the LORD<S>3068</S> heard<S>6030</S> him. <n>heard: or, answered</n>

And as Samuel<S>8050</S> was offering<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, the Philistines<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>: but the LORD<S>3068</S> thundered<S>7481</S> with a great<S>1419</S> thunder<S>6963</S> on that day<S>3117</S> upon the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and smote<S>2000</S> them; and they were smitten<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> of Mizpeh<S>4709</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> them, until <i>they came</i> under Bethcar<S>1033</S>.

Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a<S>259</S> stone<S>68</S>, and set<S>7760</S> <i>it</i> between Mizpeh<S>4709</S> and Shen<S>8129</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of it Ebenezer<S>72</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus far hath the LORD<S>3068</S> helped<S>5826</S> us. <n>Ebenezer: that is, The stone of help</n>

So the Philistines<S>6430</S> were subdued<S>3665</S>, and they came<S>935</S> no more<S>3254</S> into the land<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>.

And the cities<S>5892</S> which the Philistines<S>6430</S> had taken<S>3947</S> from Israel<S>3478</S> were restored<S>7725</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, from Ekron<S>6138</S> even to Gath<S>1661</S>; and its land<S>1366</S> did Israel<S>3478</S> deliver<S>5337</S> from the hands<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And there was peace<S>7965</S> between Israel<S>3478</S> and the Amorites<S>567</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
And he went<S>1980</S> from<S>1767</S> year<S>8141</S> to year<S>8141</S> in circuit<S>5437</S> to Bethel<S>1008</S>, and Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and Mizpeh<S>4709</S>, and judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in all those places<S>4725</S>. <n>in circuit: Heb. and he circuited</n>


text:
And his return<S>8666</S> <i>was</i> to Ramah<S>7414</S>; for there <i>was</i> his house<S>1004</S>; and there he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and there he built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass, when Samuel<S>8050</S> was old<S>2204</S>, that he made<S>7760</S> his sons<S>1121</S> judges<S>8199</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of his firstborn<S>1121</S> <S>1060</S> was Joel<S>3100</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his second<S>4932</S>, Abiah<S>29</S>: <i>they were </i>judges<S>8199</S> in Beersheba<S>884</S>.


text:
And his sons<S>1121</S> walked<S>1980</S> not in his ways<S>1870</S>, but turned aside<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> money<S>1215</S>, and took<S>3947</S> bribes<S>7810</S>, and perverted<S>5186</S> judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
Then all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> to him, Behold, thou art old<S>2204</S>, and thy sons<S>1121</S> walk<S>1980</S> not in thy ways<S>1870</S>: now make<S>7760</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us like all the nations<S>1471</S>.


text:
But the thing<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> <S>5869</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, when they said<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> us a king<S>4428</S> to judge<S>8199</S> us. And Samuel<S>8050</S> prayed<S>6419</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>. <n>displeased: Heb. was evil in the eyes of</n>


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of the people<S>5971</S> in all that they say<S>559</S> to thee: for they have not rejected<S>3988</S> thee, but they have rejected<S>3988</S> me, that I should not reign<S>4427</S> over them.


text:
According to all the works<S>4639</S> which they have done<S>6213</S> since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought them<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S> even to this day<S>3117</S>, in that they have forsaken<S>5800</S> me, and served<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, so do<S>6213</S> they also to thee.


text:
Now therefore hearken<S>8085</S> to their voice<S>389</S> <S>6963</S>: yet protest<S>5749</S> solemnly<S>5749</S> to them, and show<S>5046</S> them the manner<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> that shall reign<S>4427</S> over them. <n>hearken…: or, obey howbeit…: or, notwithstanding when thou hast solemnly protested against them then thou shalt</n>


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>559</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> to the people<S>5971</S> that asked<S>7592</S> of him a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, This will be the manner<S>4941</S> of the king<S>4428</S> that shall reign<S>4427</S> over you: He will take<S>3947</S> your sons<S>1121</S>, and appoint<S>7760</S> <i>them</i> for himself, for his chariots<S>4818</S>, and <i>to be</i> his horsemen<S>6571</S>; and <i>some</i> shall run<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> his chariots<S>4818</S>.


text:
And he will appoint<S>7760</S> him captains<S>8269</S> over thousands<S>505</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> over fifties<S>2572</S>; and <i>will set them</i> to till<S>2790</S> his ground<S>2758</S>, and to reap<S>7114</S> his harvest<S>7105</S>, and to make<S>6213</S> his instruments<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and instruments<S>3627</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your daughters<S>1323</S> <i>to be </i>perfumers<S>7548</S>, and <i>to be </i>cooks<S>2879</S>, and <i>to be </i>bakers<S>644</S>.


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your fields<S>7704</S>, and your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and your oliveyards<S>2132</S>, <i>even</i> the best<S>2896</S> <i>of them</i>, and give<S>5414</S> <i>them</i> to his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And he will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your seed<S>2233</S>, and of your vineyards<S>3754</S>, and give<S>5414</S> to his officers<S>5631</S>, and to his servants<S>5650</S>. <n>officers: Heb. eunuchs</n>


text:
And he will take<S>3947</S> your male servants<S>5650</S>, and your female servants<S>8198</S>, and your most choice<S>2896</S> young men<S>970</S>, and your donkeys<S>2543</S>, and put<S>6213</S> <i>them</i> to his work<S>4399</S>.

He will take the tenth<S>6237</S> of your sheep<S>6629</S>: and ye shall be his servants<S>5650</S>.

And ye shall cry out<S>2199</S> in that day<S>3117</S> because<S>6440</S> of your king<S>4428</S> which ye shall have chosen<S>977</S> for yourselves; and the LORD<S>3068</S> will not hear<S>6030</S> you in that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Nevertheless the people<S>5971</S> refused<S>3985</S> to obey<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, Nay; but we will have a king<S>4428</S> over us;


text:
That we also may be like all the nations<S>1471</S>; and that our king<S>4428</S> may judge<S>8199</S> us, and go out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> us, and fight<S>3898</S> our battles<S>4421</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> heard<S>8085</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and he reported<S>1696</S> them in the ears<S>241</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>.

And the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S> to their voice<S>6963</S>, and make<S>4427</S> them a king<S>4428</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Go<S>3212</S> ye every man<S>376</S> to his city<S>5892</S>.

Now there was a man<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Kish<S>7027</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zeror<S>6872</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Bechorath<S>1064</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Aphiah<S>647</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of power<S>2428</S>. <n>a Benjamite: or, the son of a man of Jemini power: or, substance</n>

And he had a son<S>1121</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> <i>was </i>Saul<S>7586</S>, a choice young man<S>970</S>, and handsome<S>2896</S>: and <i>there was</i> not among the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> a more handsome<S>2896</S> person<S>376</S> than he: from his shoulders<S>7926</S> and upward<S>4605</S> <i>he was </i>taller<S>1364</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S>.

And the donkeys<S>860</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> Saul’s<S>7586</S> father<S>1</S> were lost<S>6</S>.

And he passed through<S>5674</S> mount<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, and passed through<S>5674</S> the land<S>776</S> of Shalisha<S>8031</S>, but they found<S>4672</S> <i>them</i> not: then they passed through<S>5674</S> the land<S>776</S> of Shalim<S>8171</S>, and <i>there they were</i> not: and he passed through<S>5674</S> the land<S>776</S> of the Benjamites<S>1145</S>, but they found<S>4672</S> <i>them</i> not.

<i>And</i> when they had come<S>935</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Zuph<S>6689</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S> that <i>was</i> with him, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us return<S>7725</S>; lest my father<S>1</S> stop<S>2308</S> <i>caring</i> for the donkeys<S>860</S>, and be troubled<S>1672</S> for us.

And he said<S>559</S> to him, Behold now, <i>there is</i> in this city<S>5892</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and <i>he is</i> an honourable<S>3513</S> man<S>376</S>; all that he saith<S>1696</S> cometh<S>935</S> surely to pass<S>935</S>: now let us go<S>3212</S> there; perhaps he can show<S>5046</S> us our way<S>1870</S> that we should go<S>1980</S>.

<i>And</i> as they were going down<S>3381</S> to the end<S>7097</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Bid<S>559</S> the servant<S>5288</S> pass on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> us, (and he passed on<S>5674</S>,) but stand<S>5975</S> thou still a while<S>3117</S>, that I may show<S>8085</S> thee the word<S>1697</S> of God<S>430</S>. <n>a while: Heb. to day</n>


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a vial<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and poured<S>3332</S> <i>it</i> upon his head<S>7218</S>, and kissed<S>5401</S> him, and said<S>559</S>, <i>Is it</i> not because the LORD<S>3068</S> hath anointed<S>4886</S> thee <i>to be </i>captain<S>5057</S> over his inheritance<S>5159</S>?


text:
When thou hast departed<S>3212</S> from me<S>5978</S> to day<S>3117</S>, then thou shalt find<S>4672</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> by Rachel’s<S>7354</S> sepulchre<S>6900</S> in the border<S>1366</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> at Zelzah<S>6766</S>; and they will say<S>559</S> to thee, The donkeys<S>860</S> which thou wentest<S>1980</S> to seek<S>1245</S> are found<S>4672</S>: and, lo, thy father<S>1</S> hath stopped<S>5203</S> caring<S>1697</S> for the donkeys<S>860</S>, and sorroweth<S>1672</S> for you, saying<S>559</S>, What shall I do<S>6213</S> for my son<S>1121</S>? <n>care: Heb. business</n>


text:
Then shalt thou go on<S>2498</S> forward<S>1973</S> from there, and thou shalt come<S>935</S> to the plain<S>436</S> of Tabor<S>8396</S>, and there shall meet<S>4672</S> thee three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S> going up<S>5927</S> to God<S>430</S> to Bethel<S>1008</S>, one<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> three<S>7969</S> kids<S>1423</S>, and another<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> three<S>7969</S> loaves<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and another<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>:


text:
And they will<S>7592</S> greet<S>7965</S> thee, and give<S>5414</S> thee two<S>8147</S> <i>loaves</i> of bread<S>3899</S>; which thou shalt receive<S>3947</S> from their hands<S>3027</S>. <n>salute…: Heb. ask thee of peace</n>


text:
After<S>310</S> that thou shalt come<S>935</S> to the hill<S>1389</S> of God<S>430</S>, where <i>is</i> the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and it shall come to pass, when thou hast come there<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, that thou shalt meet<S>6293</S> a company<S>2256</S> of prophets<S>5030</S> coming down<S>3381</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> with a psaltery<S>5035</S>, and a tabret<S>8596</S>, and a pipe<S>2485</S>, and a harp<S>3658</S>, before<S>6440</S> them; and they shall prophesy<S>5012</S>:


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> will come<S>6743</S> upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy<S>5012</S> with them, and shalt be turned<S>2015</S> into another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And let it be, when these signs<S>226</S> have come<S>935</S> to thee, <i>that</i> thou do<S>6213</S> as occasion<S>4672</S> shall serve<S>3027</S> thee; for God<S>430</S> <i>is</i> with thee. <n>And…: Heb.

text:
And thou shalt go down<S>3381</S> before<S>6440</S> me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and, behold, I will come down<S>3381</S> to thee, to offer<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, <i>and</i> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S>: seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> shalt thou tarry<S>3176</S>, till I come<S>935</S> to thee, and show<S>3045</S> thee what thou shalt do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it was <i>so</i>, that when he had turned<S>6437</S> his back<S>7926</S> to go<S>3212</S> from Samuel<S>8050</S>, God<S>430</S> gave<S>2015</S> him another<S>312</S> heart<S>3820</S>: and all those signs<S>226</S> came<S>935</S> to pass that day<S>3117</S>. <n>back: Heb. shoulder gave: Heb. turned</n>


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> there to the hill<S>1389</S>, behold, a company<S>2256</S> of prophets<S>5030</S> met<S>7125</S> him; and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> upon him, and he prophesied<S>5012</S> among<S>8432</S> them.


text:
And it came to pass, when all that knew<S>3045</S> him in times past<S>865</S> <S>8032</S> saw<S>7200</S> that, behold, he prophesied<S>5012</S> among the prophets<S>5030</S>, then the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, What <i>is</i> this <i>that</i> hath come to the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>? <i>Is </i>Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>? <n>one…: Heb. a man to his neighbour</n>


text:
And one<S>376</S> of the same place answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, But who <i>is</i> their father<S>1</S>? Therefore it became a proverb<S>4912</S>, <i>Is </i>Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>? <n>of…: Heb. from thence</n>


text:
And when he had finished<S>3615</S> prophesying<S>5012</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
And Saul’s<S>7586</S> uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S> to him and to his servant<S>5288</S>, Where<S>575</S> went<S>1980</S> ye? And he said<S>559</S>, To seek<S>1245</S> the donkeys<S>860</S>: and when we saw<S>7200</S> that <i>they were</i> no where<S>369</S>, we came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And Saul’s<S>7586</S> uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me, I pray thee, what Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to you.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his uncle<S>1730</S>, He told<S>5046</S> us plainly<S>5046</S> that the donkeys<S>860</S> were found<S>4672</S>. But of the matter<S>1697</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, of which Samuel<S>8050</S> spoke<S>559</S>, he told<S>5046</S> him not.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>6817</S> the people<S>5971</S> together to the LORD<S>3068</S> to Mizpeh<S>4709</S>;


text:
And said<S>559</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I brought<S>5927</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all kingdoms<S>4467</S>, <i>and</i> of them that oppressed<S>3905</S> you:


text:
And ye have this day<S>3117</S> rejected<S>3988</S> your God<S>430</S>, who himself saved<S>3467</S> you out of all your adversities<S>7451</S> and your tribulations<S>6869</S>; and ye have said<S>559</S> to him, <i>Nay</i>, but set<S>7760</S> a king<S>4428</S> over us. Now therefore present<S>3320</S> yourselves before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> by your tribes<S>7626</S>, and by your thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
And when Samuel<S>8050</S> had caused all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to come near<S>7126</S>, the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
When he had caused the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> to come near<S>7126</S> by their families<S>4940</S>, the family<S>4940</S> of Matri<S>4309</S> was taken<S>3920</S>, and Saul<S>7586</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> was taken<S>3920</S>: and when they sought<S>1245</S> him, he could not be found<S>4672</S>.


text:
Therefore they enquired<S>7592</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> further, if the man<S>376</S> should yet come<S>935</S> there<S>1988</S>. And the LORD<S>3068</S> answered<S>559</S>, Behold, he hath hid<S>2244</S> himself among the baggage<S>3627</S>.


text:
And they ran<S>7323</S> and brought<S>3947</S> him from there: and when he stood<S>3320</S> among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, he was taller<S>1361</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S> from his shoulders<S>7926</S> and upward<S>4605</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, See<S>7200</S> ye him whom the LORD<S>3068</S> hath chosen<S>977</S>, that <i>there is</i> none like him among all the people<S>5971</S>? And all the people<S>5971</S> shouted<S>7321</S>, and said<S>559</S>, God save<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>. <n>God…: Heb. Let the king live</n>


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>1696</S> the people<S>5971</S> the manner<S>4941</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, and wrote<S>3789</S> <i>it</i> in a book<S>5612</S>, and laid <i>it </i>up<S>3240</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> sent<S>7971</S> all the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> also went<S>1980</S> home<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>; and there went<S>3212</S> with him a band of men<S>2428</S>, whose hearts<S>3820</S> God<S>430</S> had touched<S>5060</S>.


text:
But the worthless<S>1100</S> men<S>1121</S> said<S>559</S>, How shall this man save<S>3467</S> us? And they despised<S>959</S> him, and brought<S>935</S> him no presents<S>4503</S>. But he held his peace<S>2790</S>. <n>held…: or, was as though he had been deaf</n>


text:
Then Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Jabeshgilead<S>3003</S> <S>1568</S>: and all the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> to Nahash<S>5176</S>, Make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with us, and we will serve<S>5647</S> thee.


text:
And Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> answered<S>559</S> them, On this<S>2063</S> <i>condition</i> will I make<S>3772</S> <i>a covenant</i> with you, that I may thrust out<S>5365</S> all your right<S>3225</S> eyes<S>5869</S>, and lay<S>7760</S> it <i>for</i> a reproach<S>2781</S> upon all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> to him, Give us seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>’ respite<S>7503</S>, that we may send<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to all the land<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and then, if <i>there is</i> no man to save<S>3467</S> us, we will come out<S>3318</S> to thee. <n>Give…: Heb. Forbear us</n>


text:
Then came<S>935</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and told<S>1696</S> the tidings<S>1697</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> their voices<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And, behold, Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> the herd<S>1241</S> out of the field<S>7704</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, What <i>aileth</i> the people<S>5971</S> that they weep<S>1058</S>? And they told<S>5608</S> him the tidings<S>1697</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> upon Saul<S>7586</S> when he heard<S>8085</S> those tidings<S>1697</S>, and his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> a yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and hewed them in pieces<S>5408</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> <i>them</i> throughout all the land<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> by the hands<S>3027</S> of messengers<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Whoever cometh not forth<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and after<S>310</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, so shall it be done<S>6213</S> to his oxen<S>1241</S>. And the fear<S>6343</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S> on the people<S>5971</S>, and they came out<S>3318</S> with one<S>259</S> consent<S>376</S>. <n>with…: Heb. as one man</n>


text:
And when he numbered<S>6485</S> them in Bezek<S>966</S>, the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> to the messengers<S>4397</S> that came<S>935</S>, Thus shall ye say<S>559</S> to the men<S>376</S> of Jabeshgilead<S>3003</S> <S>1568</S>, To morrow<S>4279</S>, by <i>the time</i> the sun<S>8121</S> is hot<S>2527</S>, ye shall have help<S>8668</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> <i>it</i> to the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>; and they were glad<S>8055</S>. <n>help: or, deliverance</n>


text:
Therefore the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S>, To morrow<S>4279</S> we will come out<S>3318</S> to you, and ye shall do<S>6213</S> with us all that seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> to you.


text:
And it was <i>so</i> on the next morning<S>4283</S>, that Saul<S>7586</S> put<S>7760</S> the people<S>5971</S> in three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>; and they came<S>935</S> into the midst<S>8432</S> of the host<S>4264</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> watch<S>821</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> the Ammonites<S>5983</S> until the heat<S>2527</S> of the day<S>3117</S>: and it came to pass, that they who remained<S>7604</S> were scattered<S>6327</S>, so that two<S>8147</S> of them were not left<S>7604</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Who <i>is</i> he that said<S>559</S>, Shall Saul<S>7586</S> reign<S>4427</S> over us? bring<S>5414</S> the men<S>582</S>, that we may put them to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, There shall not a man<S>376</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>: for to day<S>3117</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> hath wrought<S>6213</S> salvation<S>8668</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and renew<S>2318</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> there.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3212</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they made Saul<S>7586</S> king<S>4427</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they sacrificed<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S> before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>; and there Saul<S>7586</S> and all the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S>, Behold, I have hearkened<S>8085</S> to your voice<S>6963</S> in all that ye said<S>559</S> to me, and have made<S>4427</S> a king<S>4428</S> over you.


text:
And now, behold, the king<S>4428</S> walketh<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you: and I am old<S>2204</S> and grayheaded<S>7867</S>; and, behold, my sons<S>1121</S> <i>are</i> with you: and I have walked<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you from my childhood<S>5271</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Behold, here I <i>am</i>: witness<S>6030</S> against me before the LORD<S>3068</S>, and before his anointed<S>4899</S>: whose ox<S>7794</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? or whose donkey<S>2543</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? or whom have I defrauded<S>6231</S>? whom have I oppressed<S>7533</S>? or from whose hand<S>3027</S> have I received <i>any </i>bribe<S>3724</S> to blind<S>5956</S> my eyes<S>5869</S> with it? and I will restore<S>7725</S> it you. <n>bribe: Heb. ransom to blind…: or, that I should hide mine eyes at him</n>


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, Thou hast not defrauded<S>6231</S> us, nor oppressed<S>7533</S> us, neither hast thou taken<S>3947</S> any thing<S>3972</S> from any man’s<S>376</S> hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to them, The LORD<S>3068</S> <i>is </i>witness<S>5707</S> against you, and his anointed<S>4899</S> <i>is </i>witness<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that ye have not found<S>4672</S> any thing<S>3972</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>.

Now therefore stand still<S>3320</S>, that I may reason<S>8199</S> with you before<S>6440</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> of all the righteous acts<S>6666</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, which he did<S>6213</S> to you and to your fathers<S>1</S>. <n>righteous…: Heb. righteousnesses, or, benefits to: Heb. with</n>

When Jacob<S>3290</S> had come<S>935</S> into Egypt<S>4714</S>, and your fathers<S>1</S> cried<S>2199</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, then the LORD<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, who brought forth<S>3318</S> your fathers<S>1</S> from Egypt<S>4714</S>, and made them dwell<S>3427</S> in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And when they forgot<S>7911</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Sisera<S>5516</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> of Hazor<S>2674</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and they fought<S>3898</S> against them.


text:
And they cried<S>2199</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>, because we have forsaken<S>5800</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and have served<S>5647</S> Baalim<S>1168</S> and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>: but now deliver<S>5337</S> us from the hand<S>3027</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and we will serve<S>5647</S> thee.

And the LORD<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, and Bedan<S>917</S>, and Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> you from the hand<S>3027</S> of your enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, and ye dwelt<S>3427</S> safe<S>983</S>.

And when ye saw<S>7200</S> that Nahash<S>5176</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> came<S>935</S> against you, ye said<S>559</S> to me, Nay; but a king<S>4428</S> shall reign<S>4427</S> over us: when the LORD<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> <i>was</i> your king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now therefore behold the king<S>4428</S> whom ye have chosen<S>977</S>, <i>and</i> whom ye have desired<S>7592</S>! and, behold, the LORD<S>3068</S> hath set<S>5414</S> a king<S>4428</S> over you.

If ye will fear<S>3372</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him, and obey<S>8085</S> his voice<S>6963</S>, and not rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, then shall both ye and also the king<S>4428</S> that reigneth<S>4427</S> over you continue following<S>310</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>: <n>commandment: Heb. mouth continue…: Heb. be after</n>

But if ye will not obey<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, but rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, then shall the hand<S>3027</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> be against you, as <i>it was</i> against your fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>1571</S> stand<S>3320</S> and see<S>7200</S> this great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>, which the LORD<S>3068</S> will do<S>6213</S> before your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
<i>Is it</i> not wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> to day<S>3117</S>? I will call<S>7121</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>, and he shall send<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S>; that ye may perceive<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> that your wickedness<S>7451</S> <i>is </i>great<S>7227</S>, which ye have done<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S>, in asking<S>7592</S> you a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S>; and the LORD<S>3068</S> sent<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> greatly<S>3966</S> feared<S>3372</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> and Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, Pray<S>6419</S> for thy servants<S>5650</S> to the LORD<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, that we die<S>4191</S> not: for we have added<S>3254</S> to all our sins<S>2403</S> <i>this </i>evil<S>7451</S>, to ask<S>7592</S> us a king<S>4428</S>.

And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, Fear<S>3372</S> not: ye have done<S>6213</S> all this wickedness<S>7451</S>: yet turn not aside<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, but serve<S>5647</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>;


text:
And turn ye not aside<S>5493</S>: for <i>then should ye go </i>after<S>310</S> vain<S>8414</S> <i>things</i>, which cannot profit<S>3276</S> nor deliver<S>5337</S>; for they <i>are </i>vain<S>8414</S>.


text:
For the LORD<S>3068</S> will not forsake<S>5203</S> his people<S>5971</S> for his great<S>1419</S> name’s<S>8034</S> sake: because it hath pleased<S>2974</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> to make<S>6213</S> you his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Moreover as for me<S>595</S>, Far be it from me<S>2486</S> that I should sin<S>2398</S> against the LORD<S>3068</S> in ceasing<S>2308</S> to pray<S>6419</S> for you: but I will teach<S>3384</S> you the good<S>2896</S> and the right<S>3477</S> way<S>1870</S>: <n>in: Heb. from</n>

Only fear<S>3372</S> the LORD<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him in truth<S>571</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>: for consider<S>7200</S> what great <i>things</i> he hath done<S>1431</S> for you. <n>how…: or, what a great thing</n>

But if ye shall still<S>7489</S> do wickedly<S>7489</S>, ye shall be consumed<S>5595</S>, both ye and your king<S>4428</S>.

Saul<S>7586</S> reigned<S>4427</S> one year<S>1121</S> <S>8141</S>; and when he had reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, <n>reigned one…: Heb. the son of one year in his reigning</n>

When the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were hedged in<S>6887</S>, (for the people<S>5971</S> were distressed<S>5065</S>,) then the people<S>5971</S> hid<S>2244</S> themselves in caves<S>4631</S>, and in thickets<S>2337</S>, and in rocks<S>5553</S>, and in high places<S>6877</S>, and in pits<S>953</S>.

But now thy kingdom<S>4467</S> shall not continue<S>6965</S>: the LORD<S>3068</S> hath sought<S>1245</S> him a man<S>376</S> after his own heart<S>3824</S>, and the LORD<S>3068</S> hath commanded<S>6680</S> him <i>to be </i>captain<S>5057</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, because thou hast not kept<S>8104</S> <i>that</i> which the LORD<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> thee.

Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Behold, we will pass over<S>5674</S> to <i>these </i>men<S>582</S>, and we will show<S>1540</S> ourselves to them.


text:
If they say<S>559</S> thus to us, Tarry<S>1826</S> until we come<S>5060</S> to you; then we will stand still<S>5975</S> in our place, and will not go up<S>5927</S> to them. <n>Tarry: Heb. Be still</n>


text:
But if they say<S>559</S> thus, Come up<S>5927</S> to us; then we will go up<S>5927</S>: for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> them into our hand<S>3027</S>: and this <i>shall be</i> a sign<S>226</S> to us.

And both<S>8147</S> of them showed<S>1540</S> themselves to the garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Behold, the Hebrews<S>5680</S> come forth<S>3318</S> out of the holes<S>2356</S> where they had hid<S>2244</S> themselves.

And the men<S>582</S> of the garrison<S>4675</S> answered<S>6030</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> to us, and we will show<S>3045</S> you something<S>1697</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> said<S>559</S> to his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> me: for the LORD<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3129</S> climbed up<S>5927</S> upon his hands<S>3027</S> and upon his feet<S>7272</S>, and his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S> after<S>310</S> him: and they fell<S>5307</S> before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>; and his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S> slew<S>4191</S> after<S>310</S> him.

And that first<S>7223</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>, which Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S> made<S>5221</S>, was about twenty<S>6242</S> men<S>376</S>, within as it were an half<S>2677</S> acre<S>4618</S> of land<S>7704</S>, <i>which</i> a yoke<S>6776</S> <i>of oxen might plow</i>. <n>an…: or, half a furrow of an acre of land</n>

And there was trembling<S>2731</S> in the host<S>4264</S>, in the field<S>7704</S>, and among all the people<S>5971</S>: the garrison<S>4673</S>, and the spoilers<S>7843</S>, they also trembled<S>2729</S>, and the earth<S>776</S> quaked<S>7264</S>: so it was a very great<S>430</S> trembling<S>2731</S>. <n>a very…: Heb. a trembling of God</n>

And the watchmen<S>6822</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> looked<S>7200</S>; and, behold, the multitude<S>1995</S> melted away<S>4127</S>, and they went<S>3212</S> on beating down<S>1986</S> <i>one another</i>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to the people<S>5971</S> that <i>were</i> with him, Number<S>6485</S> now, and see<S>7200</S> who is gone<S>1980</S> from us. And when they had numbered<S>6485</S>, behold, Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armourbearer<S>5375</S> <S>3627</S> <i>were</i> not <i>there</i>.
