He gave<S>5414</S> a sign<S>4159</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "This is the sign<S>4159</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S>: Behold<S>4196</S>, the altar will be split<S>7167</S> apart<S>1880</S>, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out<S>8210</S>."


text:
It happened<S>4428</S>, when the king heard<S>8085</S> the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, which he cried<S>7121</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>, that Jeroboam<S>3379</S> put out<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Seize<S>8610</S> him<S>3027</S>!" His hand, which he put out<S>7971</S> against him<S>3001</S>, dried up, so that he could<S>3201</S> not draw it back again to himself<S>7725</S>.


text:
The altar<S>4196</S> also was split<S>7167</S> apart<S>1880</S>, and the ashes poured out<S>8210</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>, according to the sign<S>4159</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had given<S>5414</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> the<S>559</S> man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, "Now entreat<S>2470</S> the favor<S>6440</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, and pray<S>2470</S> for me<S>3027</S>, that my hand may be restored me again<S>7725</S>." The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> entreated<S>2470</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S> was restored him again<S>7725</S>, and became as it was before<S>7223</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>1696</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, "Come<S>935</S> home<S>1004</S> with me<S>5582</S>, and refresh yourself<S>5414</S>, and I will give you a reward<S>4991</S>."


text:
The man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "Even if you gave<S>5414</S> me half<S>2677</S> of your house<S>1004</S>, I would not go in<S>935</S> with you<S>398</S>, neither would I eat bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in this place<S>4725</S>;


text:
for so was it commanded<S>6680</S> me by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>398</S> 'You shall eat no bread<S>3899</S>, nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>, neither return<S>7725</S> by the way<S>1870</S> that you came<S>1980</S>.'"


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> another<S>312</S> way<S>1870</S>, and didn<S>7725</S>'t return by the way<S>1870</S> that he came<S>935</S> to Bethel<S>1008</S>.


text:
Now there lived<S>3427</S> an<S>259</S> old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>; and one of his sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5608</S> him all the works<S>4639</S> that the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had done<S>6213</S> that day<S>3117</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>. They also told<S>1696</S> their father<S>4428</S> the words<S>1697</S> which he had spoken<S>5608</S> to the king<S>1</S>.


text:
Their father<S>1</S> said<S>1696</S> to them<S>1870</S>, "Which way did he go<S>1980</S>?" Now his sons<S>1121</S> had seen<S>7200</S> which<S>335</S> way<S>1870</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> went<S>1980</S>, who came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to his sons<S>1121</S>, "Saddle<S>2280</S> the donkey<S>2543</S> for me<S>2280</S>." So they saddled the donkey<S>2543</S> for him<S>7392</S>; and he rode on it.


text:
He went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and found<S>4672</S> him sitting<S>3427</S> under an oak<S>424</S>. He said<S>559</S> to him<S>376</S>, "Are you the man of God<S>430</S> who came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "I am."


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Come home<S>1004</S> with me<S>398</S>, and eat bread<S>3899</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "I may<S>3201</S> not return<S>7725</S> with you<S>935</S>, nor go in with you<S>398</S>; neither will I eat bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> with you in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
For it was said<S>1697</S> to me by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>398</S> 'You shall eat no bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> there<S>7725</S>, nor turn again to go<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S> that you came<S>1980</S>.'"


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>5030</S>, "I also am a prophet as you are<S>4397</S>; and an angel spoke<S>1696</S> to me by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>7725</S> 'Bring him back with you into your house<S>1004</S>, that he may eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>.'" He lied to him<S>3584</S>.


text:
So he went back<S>7725</S> with him<S>398</S>, and ate bread<S>3899</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and drank<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3427</S>, as they sat at the table<S>7979</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to the prophet<S>5030</S> who brought him back<S>7725</S>;


text:
and he cried<S>7121</S> to the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> who came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>3282</S> 'Because you have been disobedient<S>4784</S> to the mouth<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and have not kept<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> commanded you<S>6680</S>,


text:
but came back<S>7725</S>, and have eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in the place<S>4725</S> of which he said<S>1696</S> to you<S>398</S>, "Eat no bread<S>3899</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> no water<S>4325</S>;" your body<S>5038</S> shall not come<S>935</S> to the tomb<S>6913</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>.'"


text:
It happened<S>310</S>, after he had eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and after<S>310</S> he had drunk<S>8354</S>, that he saddled<S>2280</S> the donkey<S>2543</S> for the prophet<S>5030</S> whom he had brought back<S>7725</S>.


text:
When he had gone<S>3212</S>, a lion<S>738</S> met<S>4672</S> him by the way<S>1870</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>5038</S>. His body was cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the donkey<S>2543</S> stood<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> it<S>738</S>. The lion also stood<S>5975</S> by the body<S>5038</S>.


text:
Behold<S>582</S>, men passed by<S>5674</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the body<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the body<S>5038</S>; and they came<S>935</S> and told<S>1696</S> it in the city<S>5892</S> where the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> lived<S>3427</S>.


text:
When the prophet<S>5030</S> who brought him back<S>7725</S> from the way<S>1870</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>559</S>, he said, "It is the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> who was disobedient<S>4784</S> to the mouth<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> him to the lion<S>738</S>, which has mauled<S>7665</S> him and slain<S>4191</S> him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke to him<S>1696</S>."


text:
He spoke<S>1696</S> to his sons<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Saddle<S>2280</S> the donkey<S>2543</S> for me<S>2280</S>." They saddled it.


text:
He went<S>3212</S> and found<S>4672</S> his body<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the donkey<S>2543</S> and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the body<S>5038</S>. The lion<S>738</S> had not eaten<S>398</S> the body<S>5038</S>, nor mauled<S>7665</S> the donkey<S>2543</S>.


text:
The prophet<S>5030</S> took up<S>5375</S> the body<S>5038</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and laid<S>3240</S> it on the donkey<S>2543</S>, and brought it back<S>7725</S>. He came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> to mourn<S>5594</S>, and to bury him<S>6912</S>.


text:
He laid<S>3240</S> his body<S>5038</S> in his own grave<S>6913</S>; and they mourned<S>5594</S> over him<S>1945</S>, saying, "Alas, my brother<S>251</S>!"


text:
It happened<S>310</S>, after he had buried<S>6912</S> him<S>559</S>, that he spoke to his sons<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "When I am dead<S>4191</S>, then bury<S>6912</S> me in the tomb<S>6913</S> in which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> is buried<S>6912</S>. Lay<S>3240</S> my bones<S>6106</S> beside<S>681</S> his bones<S>6106</S>.


text:
For the saying<S>1697</S> which he cried<S>7121</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in Bethel<S>1008</S>, and against all the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> which are in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, will surely happen."


text:
After<S>310</S> this thing<S>1697</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> didn<S>7725</S>'t return from his evil<S>7451</S> way<S>1870</S>, but again<S>7725</S> made<S>6213</S> priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> from among all<S>7098</S> the people<S>5971</S>. Whoever wanted<S>2655</S> to<S>4390</S>, he consecrated him<S>3548</S>, that there might be priests of the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
This thing<S>1697</S> became sin<S>2403</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, even to cut it off<S>3582</S>, and to destroy<S>8045</S> it from off the surface<S>6440</S> of the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Abijah<S>29</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> fell sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
Jeroboam<S>3379</S> said<S>559</S> to his wife<S>802</S>, "Please get up<S>6965</S> and disguise<S>8138</S> yourself<S>3045</S>, that you won't be recognized as the wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>. Go<S>1980</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>. Behold<S>281</S>, there is Ahijah the prophet<S>5030</S>, who spoke<S>1696</S> concerning me that I should be king<S>4428</S> over this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Take<S>3947</S> with you<S>3027</S> ten<S>6235</S> loaves<S>3899</S>, and cakes<S>5350</S>, and a jar<S>1228</S> of honey<S>1706</S>, and go<S>935</S> to him<S>5046</S>. He will tell you what will become of the child<S>5288</S>."


text:
Jeroboam<S>3379</S>'s wife<S>802</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>. Now Ahijah<S>281</S> could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>; for his eyes<S>5869</S> were set<S>6965</S> by reason of his age<S>7869</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahijah<S>281</S>, "Behold<S>802</S>, the wife of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> comes<S>935</S> to inquire<S>1875</S> of you concerning<S>1697</S> her son<S>1121</S>; for he is sick<S>2470</S>. Thus<S>2090</S> and thus you shall tell<S>1696</S> her<S>935</S>; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman<S>5234</S>."


text:
It was so<S>281</S>, when Ahijah heard<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of her feet<S>7272</S>, as she came in<S>935</S> at the door<S>6607</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, "Come in<S>935</S>, you wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>! Why do you pretend to be another<S>5234</S>? For I am sent<S>7971</S> to you with heavy news<S>7186</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: "Because<S>3282</S> I exalted<S>7311</S> you from among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and made<S>5414</S> you prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
and tore<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> away<S>7167</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it you<S>5650</S>; and yet you have not been as my servant David<S>1732</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S>, and who followed<S>1980</S> me with all his heart<S>3824</S>, to do<S>6213</S> that only which was right<S>3477</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>,


text:
but have done<S>6213</S> evil<S>7489</S> above all who were before<S>6440</S> you<S>3212</S>, and have gone and made<S>6213</S> you other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and molten images<S>4541</S>, to provoke me to anger<S>3707</S>, and have cast<S>7993</S> me behind<S>310</S> your back<S>1458</S>:


text:
therefore<S>935</S>, behold, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> on the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and will cut off<S>3772</S> from Jeroboam<S>3379</S> everyone who urinates<S>8366</S> on a wall<S>7023</S>, he who is shut up<S>6113</S> and he who is left<S>5800</S> at large in Israel<S>3478</S>, and will utterly<S>310</S> sweep away<S>1197</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, as a man sweeps away<S>1197</S> dung<S>1557</S>, until it is all gone<S>8552</S>.


text:
He who dies<S>4191</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> in the city<S>5892</S> shall the dogs<S>3611</S> eat<S>398</S>; and he who dies<S>4191</S> in the field<S>7704</S> shall the birds<S>5775</S> of the sky<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>: for Yahweh<S>3068</S> has spoken it<S>1696</S>."'


text:
Arise<S>6965</S> therefore<S>3212</S>, and go to your house<S>1004</S>. When your feet<S>7272</S> enter<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, the child<S>3206</S> shall die<S>4191</S>.


text:
All Israel<S>3478</S> shall mourn<S>5594</S> for him<S>6912</S>, and bury him<S>3379</S>; for he only of Jeroboam shall come<S>935</S> to the grave<S>6913</S>, because in him there is found<S>4672</S> some good<S>2896</S> thing<S>1697</S> toward Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
Moreover Yahweh<S>3068</S> will raise him up<S>6965</S> a king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, who shall cut off<S>3772</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>. This is day<S>3117</S>! What? Even now.


text:
For Yahweh<S>3068</S> will strike<S>5221</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, as a reed<S>7070</S> is shaken<S>5110</S> in the water<S>4325</S>; and he will root up<S>5428</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of this good<S>2896</S> land<S>127</S> which he gave<S>5414</S> to their fathers<S>1</S>, and will scatter<S>2219</S> them beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>, because they have made<S>6213</S> their Asherim<S>842</S>, provoking Yahweh<S>3068</S> to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
He will give<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> up<S>5414</S> because<S>1558</S> of the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, which he has sinned<S>2398</S>, and with which he has made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>."


text:
Jeroboam<S>3379</S>'s wife<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Tirzah<S>8656</S>. As she came<S>935</S> to the threshold<S>5592</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, the child<S>5288</S> died<S>4191</S>.


text:
All Israel<S>3478</S> buried<S>6912</S> him<S>5594</S>, and mourned for him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>.


text:
The rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, how he warred<S>3898</S>, and how he reigned<S>4427</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

The days<S>3117</S> which Jeroboam<S>3379</S> reigned<S>4427</S> were two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and he slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and Nadab<S>5070</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>. Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was forty<S>705</S> - one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> had chosen<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to put<S>7760</S> his name<S>8034</S> there<S>517</S>: and his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> the Ammonitess<S>5985</S>.


text:
Judah<S>3063</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and they provoked him to jealousy<S>7065</S> with their sins<S>2403</S> which they committed<S>2398</S>, above all that their fathers<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
For they also built<S>1129</S> them high places<S>1116</S>, and pillars<S>4676</S>, and Asherim<S>842</S>, on every high<S>1364</S> hill<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>;


text:
and there were also sodomites<S>6945</S> in the land<S>776</S>: they did<S>6213</S> according to all the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> drove out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened in the fifth<S>2549</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, that Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>;


text:
and he took away<S>3947</S> the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; he even took away<S>3947</S> all<S>3947</S>: and he took away all the shields<S>4043</S> of gold<S>2091</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made<S>6213</S> in their place shields<S>4043</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, and committed<S>6485</S> them to the hands<S>3027</S> of the captains<S>8269</S> of the guard<S>7323</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> the door<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
It was so<S>1767</S>, that as often as the king<S>4428</S> went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the guard<S>7323</S> bore<S>5375</S> them<S>7725</S>, and brought them back into the guard<S>7323</S> room<S>8372</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
There was war<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Rehoboam<S>7346</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> the Ammonitess<S>5985</S>. Abijam<S>38</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Now in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> began Abijam<S>38</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He reigned<S>4427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom<S>53</S>.


text:
He walked<S>3212</S> in all the sins<S>2403</S> of his father<S>1</S>, which he had done<S>6213</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>3824</S>; and his heart was not perfect<S>8003</S> with Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, as the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Nevertheless for David<S>1732</S>'s sake<S>3068</S>, Yahweh his God<S>430</S> gave<S>5414</S> him a lamp<S>5216</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to set up<S>6965</S> his son<S>1121</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5975</S>, and to establish Jerusalem<S>3389</S>;


text:
because David<S>1732</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and didn<S>5493</S>'t turn aside from anything that he commanded<S>6680</S> him all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, except only in the matter<S>1697</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>.


text:
Now there was war<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
The rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Abijam<S>38</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? There was war<S>4421</S> between Abijam<S>38</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
Abijam<S>38</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Asa<S>609</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> began Asa<S>609</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
He reigned<S>4427</S> forty<S>705</S> - one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Maacah<S>4601</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom<S>53</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, as did David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
He put away<S>5674</S> the sodomites<S>6945</S> out of the land<S>776</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> all the idols<S>1544</S> that his fathers<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
Also Maacah<S>4601</S> his mother<S>517</S> he removed<S>5493</S> from being queen<S>1377</S>, because she had made<S>6213</S> an abominable image<S>4656</S> for an Asherah<S>842</S>; and Asa<S>609</S> cut down<S>3772</S> her image<S>4656</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> it at the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>: nevertheless the heart<S>3824</S> of Asa<S>609</S> was perfect<S>8003</S> with Yahweh<S>3068</S> all his days<S>3117</S>.


text:
He brought<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> the things<S>6944</S> that his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, and the things that himself had dedicated<S>6944</S>, silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S>.


text:
There was war<S>4421</S> between Asa<S>609</S> and Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> all their days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and built<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, that he might not allow<S>5414</S> anyone to go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> took<S>3947</S> all the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> that were left<S>3498</S> in the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> sent<S>7971</S> them to Ben Hadad<S>1130</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Tabrimmon<S>2886</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hezion<S>2383</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, who lived<S>3427</S> at Damascus<S>1834</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"There is a treaty<S>1285</S> between me and you<S>1</S>, between my father and your father<S>1</S>. Behold<S>7971</S>, I have sent to you a present<S>7810</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>. Go<S>3212</S>, break<S>6565</S> your treaty<S>1285</S> with Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may depart from me<S>5927</S>."


text:
Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> listened<S>8085</S> to king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of his armies<S>2428</S> against the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Ijon<S>5859</S>, and Dan<S>1835</S>, and Abel Beth Maacah<S>62</S>, and all Chinneroth<S>3672</S>, with all the land<S>776</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>.


text:
It happened<S>1201</S>, when Baasha heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>2308</S>, that he left off building<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> made a proclamation<S>8085</S> to all Judah<S>3063</S>; none was exempted<S>5355</S>: and they carried<S>5375</S> away the stones<S>68</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and its timber<S>6086</S>, with which Baasha<S>1201</S> had built<S>1129</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> built<S>1129</S> therewith Geba<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of all the acts<S>1697</S> of Asa<S>609</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and the cities<S>5892</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? But in the time<S>6256</S> of his old age<S>2209</S> he was diseased<S>2470</S> in his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
Asa<S>609</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Nadab<S>5070</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>, of the house<S>1004</S> of Issachar<S>3485</S>, conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>1201</S>; and Baasha struck<S>5221</S> him at Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, which belonged to the Philistines<S>6430</S>; for Nadab<S>5070</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> were laying siege<S>6696</S> to Gibbethon<S>1405</S>.


text:
Even in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Baasha<S>1201</S> killed<S>4191</S> him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his place.


text:
It happened that<S>4427</S>, as soon as he was king, he struck<S>5221</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>: he didn<S>7604</S>'t leave to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> any who breathed<S>5397</S>, until he had destroyed<S>8045</S> him<S>1697</S>; according to the saying of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S>;


text:
for the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> which he sinned<S>2398</S>, and with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, because of his provocation<S>3708</S> with which he provoked Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Nadab<S>5070</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

In the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S> for twenty<S>6242</S> - four<S>702</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
The word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Because I exalted<S>7311</S> you out of the dust<S>6083</S>, and made<S>5414</S> you prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and you have walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and have made my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke me to anger<S>3707</S> with their sins<S>2403</S>;


text:
behold<S>1197</S>, I will utterly sweep away Baasha<S>1201</S> and his<S>310</S> house<S>1004</S>; and I will make<S>5414</S> your house<S>1004</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>.


text:
The dogs<S>3611</S> will eat<S>398</S> Baasha<S>1201</S>'s descendants who die<S>4191</S> in the city<S>5892</S>; and he who dies<S>4191</S> of his in the field<S>7704</S> the birds<S>5775</S> of the sky<S>8064</S> will eat<S>398</S>."


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and what he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Baasha<S>1201</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>; and Elah<S>425</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Moreover by<S>3027</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> came the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S>, and against his house<S>1004</S>, both because of all the evil<S>7451</S> that he did<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to provoke him to anger<S>3707</S> with the work<S>4639</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>, in being like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and because he struck him<S>5221</S>.

In the twenty<S>6242</S> - sixth<S>8337</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Elah<S>425</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S> for two years<S>8141</S>.

His servant<S>5650</S> Zimri<S>2174</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of half<S>4276</S> his chariots<S>7393</S>, conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>8656</S>.

and Zimri<S>2174</S> went in<S>935</S> and struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>6242</S>, in the twenty - seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
It happened<S>4427</S>, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, that he struck<S>5221</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>: he didn<S>7604</S>'t leave him a single one who urinates<S>8366</S> on a wall<S>7023</S>, neither of his relatives<S>1350</S>, nor of his friends<S>7453</S>.


text:
Thus Zimri<S>2174</S> destroyed<S>8045</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S> by<S>3027</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>,


text:
for all the sins<S>2403</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and the sins<S>2403</S> of Elah<S>425</S> his son<S>1121</S>, which they sinned<S>2398</S>, and with which they made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S> with their vanities<S>1892</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
In the twenty<S>6242</S> - seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Zimri<S>2174</S> reigned<S>4427</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>. Now the people<S>5971</S> were encamped<S>2583</S> against Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, which belonged to the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
The people<S>5971</S> who were encamped<S>2583</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S>, Zimri<S>2174</S> has conspired<S>7194</S>, and has also struck<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S>: therefore all Israel<S>3478</S> made Omri<S>6018</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>, king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S> in the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
Omri<S>6018</S> went up<S>5927</S> from Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>6696</S>, and they besieged Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
It happened<S>2174</S>, when Zimri saw<S>7200</S> that the city<S>5892</S> was taken<S>3920</S>, that he went<S>935</S> into the castle<S>759</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> over him with fire<S>784</S>, and died<S>4191</S>,


text:
for his sins<S>2403</S> which he sinned<S>2398</S> in doing<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, in walking<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, to make Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Zimri<S>2174</S>, and his treason<S>7195</S> that he committed<S>7194</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Then were the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> divided<S>2505</S> into two parts<S>2677</S>: half<S>2677</S> of the people<S>5971</S> followed<S>1961</S> Tibni<S>8402</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ginath<S>1527</S>, to make him king<S>4427</S>; and half<S>2677</S> followed<S>310</S> Omri<S>6018</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> who followed<S>310</S> Omri<S>6018</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> against<S>854</S> the people<S>5971</S> who followed<S>310</S> Tibni<S>8402</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ginath<S>1527</S>: so Tibni<S>8402</S> died<S>4191</S>, and Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the thirty<S>7970</S> - first<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, Omri<S>6018</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> for twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>. He reigned<S>4427</S> six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
He bought<S>7069</S> the hill<S>2022</S> Samaria<S>8111</S> of Shemer<S>8106</S> for two talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>; and he built<S>1129</S> on the hill<S>2022</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the city<S>5892</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, after the name<S>8034</S> of Shemer<S>8106</S>, the owner<S>113</S> of the hill<S>2022</S>, Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Omri<S>6018</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and dealt wickedly above<S>7489</S> all who were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and in his sins<S>2403</S> with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S> with their vanities<S>1892</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> that he showed<S>6213</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
So Omri<S>6018</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>; and Ahab<S>256</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the thirty<S>7970</S> - eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>: and Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> twenty<S>6242</S> - two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> above all that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
It happened<S>7043</S>, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk<S>3212</S> in the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, that he took<S>3947</S> as wife<S>802</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ethbaal<S>856</S> king<S>4428</S> of the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>, and worshiped him<S>7812</S>.


text:
He reared up<S>6965</S> an altar<S>4196</S> for Baal<S>1168</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, which he had built<S>1129</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> made<S>6213</S> the Asherah<S>842</S>; and Ahab<S>256</S> did<S>6213</S> yet more<S>3254</S> to provoke Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to anger<S>3707</S> than all the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> Hiel<S>2419</S> the Bethelite<S>1017</S> built<S>1129</S> Jericho<S>3405</S>: he laid its foundation<S>3245</S> with the loss of Abiram<S>48</S> his firstborn<S>1060</S>, and set up<S>5324</S> its gates<S>1817</S> with the loss of his youngest<S>6810</S> son Segub<S>7687</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Joshua<S>3091</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nun<S>5126</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, who was of the foreigners<S>8453</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, there shall not be dew<S>2919</S> nor rain<S>4306</S> these years<S>8141</S>, but according<S>6310</S> to my word<S>1697</S>."


text:
"Go<S>3212</S> away from here<S>6437</S>, turn eastward<S>6924</S>, and hide<S>5641</S> yourself by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith<S>3747</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
It shall be<S>8354</S>, that you shall drink of the brook<S>5158</S>. I have commanded<S>6680</S> the ravens<S>6158</S> to feed you there<S>3557</S>."


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for he went<S>3212</S> and lived<S>3427</S> by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith<S>3747</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
The ravens<S>6158</S> brought<S>935</S> him bread<S>3899</S> and flesh<S>1320</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and bread<S>3899</S> and flesh<S>1320</S> in the evening<S>6153</S>; and he drank<S>8354</S> of the brook<S>5158</S>.


text:
It happened after<S>7093</S> a while<S>3117</S>, that the brook<S>5158</S> dried up<S>3001</S>, because there was no rain<S>1653</S> in the land<S>776</S>.


text:
"Arise<S>6965</S>, go<S>3212</S> to Zarephath<S>6886</S>, which belongs to Sidon<S>6721</S>, and stay<S>3427</S> there<S>6680</S>. Behold, I have commanded a widow<S>490, Ruth2</S> there to sustain you<S>3557</S>."


text:
So he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Zarephath<S>6886</S>; and when he came<S>935</S> to the gate<S>6607</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>490</S>, a widow <S>802</S> was there gathering<S>7197</S> sticks<S>6086</S>: and he called<S>7121</S> to her<S>559</S>, and said, "Please get<S>3947</S> me a little<S>4592</S> water<S>4325</S> in a vessel<S>3627</S>, that I may drink<S>8354</S>."


text:
As she was going<S>3212</S> to get<S>3947</S> it<S>7121</S>, he called to her<S>559</S>, and said, "Please bring<S>3947</S> me a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
She said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I don<S>3426</S>'t have a cake<S>4580</S>, but a handful<S>4393</S> of meal<S>7058</S> in the jar<S>3537</S>, and a little<S>4592</S> oil<S>8081</S> in the jar<S>6835</S>. Behold<S>7197</S>, I am gathering two<S>8147</S> sticks<S>6086</S>, that I may go in<S>935</S> and bake<S>6213</S> it for me and my son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> it<S>4191</S>, and die."


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>3372</S>, "Don't be afraid. Go<S>935</S> and do<S>6213</S> as you have said<S>1697</S>; but make<S>6213</S> me of<S>8033</S> it a little<S>6996</S> cake<S>5692</S> first<S>7223</S>, and bring<S>3318</S> it out to me<S>314</S>, and afterward make<S>6213</S> some for you and for your son<S>1121</S>.


text:
For thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <S>3537</S> 'The jar of meal<S>7058</S> shall not empty<S>3615</S>, neither shall the jar<S>6835</S> of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2637</S>, until the day<S>3117</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> sends<S>5414</S> rain<S>1653</S> on<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.'"


text:
She went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>: and she<S>1004</S>, and he, and her house, ate<S>398</S> many days<S>3117</S>.


text:
The jar<S>3537</S> of meal<S>7058</S> didn<S>3615</S>'t empty, neither did the jar<S>6835</S> of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2638</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
It happened after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, that the son<S>1121</S> of the woman<S>802</S>, the mistress<S>1172</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, fell sick<S>2470</S>; and his sickness<S>2483</S> was so<S>3966</S> severe<S>2389</S>, that there was no breath<S>5397</S> left in him<S>3498</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, "What have I to do with you<S>376</S>, you man of God<S>430</S>? You have come<S>935</S> to me to bring<S>2142</S> my sin<S>5771</S> to memory<S>2142</S>, and to kill<S>4191</S> my son<S>1121</S>!"


text:
He said<S>559</S> to her<S>5414</S>, "Give me your son<S>1121</S>." He took<S>3947</S> him out of her bosom<S>2436</S>, and carried him up<S>5927</S> into the room<S>5944</S> where he stayed<S>3427</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him on his own bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
He cried<S>7121</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, have you also brought evil<S>7489</S> on the widow<S>490</S> with whom I stay<S>1481</S>, by killing<S>4191</S> her son<S>1121</S>?"


text:
He stretched<S>4058</S> himself on the child<S>3206</S> three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, please let this child<S>3206</S>'s soul<S>5315</S> come<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>."


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> listened<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>; and the soul<S>5315</S> of the child<S>3206</S> came<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>, and he revived<S>2421</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> the child<S>3206</S>, and brought him down<S>3381</S> out of the room<S>5944</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> him to his mother<S>517</S>; and Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>7200</S>, your son<S>1121</S> lives<S>2416</S>."


text:
The woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, "Now<S>2088</S> I know<S>3045</S> that you are a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and that the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> in your mouth<S>6310</S> is truth<S>571</S>."


text:
It happened after many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to Elijah<S>452</S>, in the third<S>7992</S> year<S>8141</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>, show<S>7200</S> yourself to Ahab<S>256</S>; and I will send<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> on<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>."


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> to show<S>7200</S> himself to Ahab<S>256</S>. The famine<S>7458</S> was severe<S>2389</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> called<S>7121</S> Obadiah<S>5662</S>, who was over the household<S>1004</S>. (Now Obadiah<S>5662</S> feared<S>3373</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> greatly<S>3966</S>:


text:
for it was so<S>348</S>, when Jezebel cut off<S>3772</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that Obadiah<S>5662</S> took<S>3947</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> prophets<S>5030</S>, and hid<S>2244</S> them by fifty<S>376</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>.)


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Obadiah<S>5662</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> through the land<S>776</S>, to all the springs<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and to all the brooks<S>5158</S>. Perhaps<S>194</S> we may find<S>4672</S> grass<S>2682</S> and save<S>2421</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and mules<S>6505</S> alive<S>2421</S>, that we not lose<S>3772</S> all the animals<S>929</S>."

So they divided<S>2505</S> the land<S>776</S> between them to pass throughout<S>5674</S> it<S>256</S>: Ahab went<S>1980</S> one<S>259</S> way<S>1870</S> by himself<S>5662</S>, and Obadiah went<S>1980</S> another<S>259</S> way by himself<S>1870</S>.


text:
As Obadiah<S>5662</S> was in the way<S>1870</S>, behold<S>452</S>, Elijah met<S>7125</S> him<S>5234</S>: and he recognized him<S>5307</S>, and fell on his face<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Is it you<S>113</S>, my lord Elijah<S>452</S>?"


text:
He answered<S>559</S> him<S>3212</S>, "It is I. Go, tell<S>559</S> your lord<S>113</S>, <S>452</S> 'Behold, Elijah is here!'"


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Wherein have I sinned<S>2398</S>, that you would deliver<S>5414</S> your servant<S>5650</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, to kill me<S>4191</S>?


text:
As Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there is no<S>3426</S> nation<S>1471</S> or kingdom<S>4467</S>, where<S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> has not sent<S>7971</S> to seek<S>1245</S> you<S>559</S>. When they said, <S>7650</S> 'He is not here,' he took an oath of the kingdom<S>4467</S> and nation<S>1471</S>, that they didn<S>4672</S>'t find you.


text:
Now you say<S>559</S>, <S>3212</S> 'Go, tell<S>559</S> your lord<S>113</S>, "Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here."'


text:
It will happen<S>3212</S>, as soon as I am gone from you<S>7307</S>, that the Spirit of Yahweh<S>3068</S> will carry<S>5375</S> you I don<S>3045</S>'t know where<S>935</S>; and so when I come and tell<S>5046</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and he can<S>4672</S>'t find you<S>2026</S>, he will kill me<S>5650</S>. But I, your servant, have feared<S>3372</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> from my youth<S>5271</S>.


text:
Wasn<S>5046</S>'t it told my lord<S>113</S> what I did<S>6213</S> when Jezebel<S>348</S> killed<S>2026</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, how I hid<S>2244</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s prophets<S>5030</S> with fifty<S>2572</S> to a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>?


text:
Now you say<S>559</S>, <S>3212</S> 'Go, tell<S>559</S> your lord<S>113</S>, "Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here<S>2026</S>;"' and he will kill me."


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will surely show<S>7200</S> myself to him today<S>3117</S>."


text:
So Obadiah<S>5662</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>256</S>; and Ahab went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
It happened<S>256</S>, when Ahab saw<S>7200</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, that Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>5916</S>, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel<S>3478</S>?"


text:
He answered<S>559</S>, "I have not troubled<S>5916</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; but you<S>1</S>, and your father's house<S>1004</S>, in that you have forsaken<S>5800</S> the commandments<S>4687</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and you have followed<S>3212</S> the Baals<S>1168</S>.


text:
Now therefore send<S>7971</S>, and gather<S>6908</S> to me all Israel<S>3478</S> to Mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>, and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> fifty<S>2572</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> of the Asherah<S>842</S>, who eat<S>398</S> at Jezebel<S>348</S>'s table<S>7979</S>."


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> sent<S>7971</S> to all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S> to Mount<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> came<S>5066</S> near to all the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "How long<S>5921</S> will you waver<S>6452</S> between the two<S>8147</S> sides<S>3068</S>? If Yahweh is God<S>430</S>, follow<S>3212</S> him<S>1168</S>; but if Baal, then follow<S>3212</S> him<S>5971</S>." The people answered<S>6030</S> him not a word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, "I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left a prophet<S>5030</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; but Baal<S>1168</S>'s prophets<S>5030</S> are four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Let them therefore give<S>5414</S> us two<S>8147</S> bulls<S>6499</S>; and let them choose<S>977</S> one<S>259</S> bull<S>6499</S> for themselves<S>5408</S>, and cut it in pieces, and lay<S>7760</S> it on the wood<S>6086</S>, and put<S>7760</S> no fire<S>784</S> under<S>6213</S>; and I will dress the other<S>259</S> bull<S>6499</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it on the wood<S>6086</S>, and put<S>7760</S> no fire under it<S>784</S>.


text:
You call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of your god<S>430</S>, and I will call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. The God<S>430</S> who answers<S>6030</S> by fire<S>784</S>, let him be God<S>430</S>." All the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "It<S>559</S> is well<S>2896</S> said<S>6030</S>."


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, "Choose<S>977</S> one<S>259</S> bull<S>6499</S> for yourselves<S>6213</S>, and dress it first<S>7223</S>; for you are many<S>7227</S>; and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of your god<S>430</S>, but put<S>7760</S> no fire under it<S>784</S>."


text:
They took<S>3947</S> the bull<S>6499</S> which was given<S>5414</S> them<S>6213</S>, and they dressed it<S>7121</S>, and called on the name<S>8034</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> from morning<S>1242</S> even until noon<S>6672</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Baal<S>1168</S>, hear<S>6030</S> us<S>369</S>. But there was no voice<S>6963</S>, nor any who answered<S>6030</S>. They leaped<S>6452</S> about the altar<S>4196</S> which was made<S>6213</S>.


text:
It happened at noon<S>6672</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> mocked<S>2048</S> them<S>559</S>, and said, "Cry<S>7121</S> aloud<S>1419</S>; for he is a god<S>430</S>. Either he is musing<S>7879</S>, or he has gone aside<S>7873</S>, or he is on a journey<S>1870</S>, or perhaps<S>194</S> he sleeps<S>3463</S> and must be awakened<S>3364</S>."


text:
They cried<S>7121</S> aloud<S>6963</S>, and cut<S>1413</S> themselves in their way<S>4941</S> with knives<S>2719</S> and lances<S>7420</S>, until the blood<S>1818</S> gushed out on them<S>8210</S>.


text:
It was so<S>6672</S>, when midday was past<S>5674</S>, that they prophesied<S>5012</S> until the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the offering<S>5927</S>; but there was neither voice<S>6963</S>, nor any to answer<S>6030</S>, nor any who regarded<S>7182</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, "Come near<S>5066</S> to me<S>5971</S>;" and all the people came near<S>5066</S> to him<S>7495</S>. He repaired the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> that was thrown down<S>2040</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> twelve<S>8147</S> stones<S>68</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, to whom the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came<S>559</S>, saying, "Israel<S>3478</S> shall be your name<S>8034</S>."


text:
With the stones<S>68</S> he built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. He made<S>6213</S> a trench<S>8585</S> around<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>, large enough to contain<S>1004</S> two measures<S>5429</S> of seed<S>2233</S>.


text:
He put<S>6186</S> the wood<S>6086</S> in order<S>6186</S>, and cut<S>5408</S> the bull<S>6499</S> in pieces<S>7760</S>, and laid it on the wood<S>6086</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "Fill<S>4390</S> four<S>702</S> jars<S>3537</S> with water<S>4325</S>, and pour<S>3332</S> it on the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and on the wood<S>6086</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Do it a second time<S>8138</S>;" and they did it the second time<S>8138</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "Do it a third time<S>8138</S>;" and they did it the third time<S>8027</S>.


text:
The water<S>4325</S> ran<S>3212</S> around<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>; and he also filled<S>4390</S> the trench<S>8585</S> with water<S>4325</S>.


text:
It happened at the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the offering<S>4503</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>, of Isaac<S>3327</S>, and of Israel<S>3478</S>, let it be known<S>3045</S> this day<S>3117</S> that you are God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, and that I am your servant<S>5650</S>, and that I have done<S>6213</S> all these things at your word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Hear<S>6030</S> me<S>3068</S>, Yahweh, hear<S>6030</S> me<S>5971</S>, that this people may know<S>3045</S> that you<S>3068</S>, Yahweh, are God<S>430</S>, and that you have turned<S>5437</S> their heart<S>3820</S> back<S>5437</S> again<S>322</S>."


text:
Then the fire<S>784</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and the wood<S>6086</S>, and the stones<S>68</S>, and the dust<S>6083</S>, and licked up<S>3897</S> the water<S>4325</S> that was in the trench<S>8585</S>.


text:
When all the people<S>5971</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>5307</S>, they fell on their faces<S>6440</S>. They said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he is God<S>430</S>! Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he is God<S>430</S>!"


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>8610</S>, "Seize the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>! Don<S>376</S>'t let one of them escape<S>4422</S>!" They seized<S>8610</S> them<S>452</S>. Elijah brought them down<S>3381</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S>, and killed them there<S>7819</S>.


text:
Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, "Get up<S>5927</S>, eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>; for there is the sound<S>6963</S> of abundance<S>1995</S> of rain<S>1653</S>."


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> went up<S>5927</S> to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8354</S>. Elijah<S>452</S> went up<S>5927</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of Carmel<S>3760</S>; and he bowed himself down<S>1457</S> on the earth<S>776</S>, and put<S>7760</S> his face<S>6440</S> between his knees<S>1290</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, "Go up<S>5927</S> now<S>5027</S>, look toward<S>1870</S> the sea<S>3220</S>." He went up<S>5927</S>, and looked<S>5027</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "There is nothing<S>3972</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "Go again<S>7725</S>" seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>.


text:
It happened at the seventh time<S>7637</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>6996</S>, a small cloud<S>5645</S>, like a man<S>376</S>'s hand<S>3709</S>, is rising<S>5927</S> out of the sea<S>3220</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "Go up<S>5927</S>, tell<S>559</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, <S>631</S> 'Get ready and go down<S>3381</S>, so that the rain<S>1653</S> doesn<S>6113</S>'t stop you.'"


text:
It happened in a little while<S>3541</S>, that the sky<S>8064</S> grew black<S>6937</S> with clouds<S>5645</S> and wind<S>7307</S>, and there was a great<S>1419</S> rain<S>1653</S>. Ahab<S>256</S> rode<S>7392</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
The hand<S>3027</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was on Elijah<S>452</S>; and he tucked<S>8151</S> his cloak into his belt<S>4975</S> and ran<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> Ahab<S>256</S> to the entrance<S>935</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> told<S>5046</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> all that Elijah<S>452</S> had done<S>6213</S>, and how he had killed<S>2026</S> all the prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Then Jezebel<S>348</S> sent<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "So let the gods<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>7760</S>, if I don't make your life<S>5315</S> as the life<S>5315</S> of one<S>259</S> of them by tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>!"


text:
When he saw<S>7200</S> that<S>6965</S>, he arose, and went<S>3212</S> for his life<S>5315</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Beersheba<S>884</S>, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>, and left<S>3240</S> his servant there<S>5288</S>.


text:
But he himself went<S>1980</S> a day<S>3117</S>'s journey<S>1870</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and came<S>935</S> and sat down<S>3427</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper tree<S>7574</S>: and he requested<S>7592</S> for himself<S>5315</S> that he might die<S>4191</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "It is enough<S>7227</S>. Now<S>3068</S>, O Yahweh, take away<S>3947</S> my life<S>5315</S>; for I am not better<S>2896</S> than my fathers<S>1</S>."


text:
He lay<S>7901</S> down and slept<S>3462</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper tree<S>7574</S>; and behold<S>4397</S>, an angel touched<S>5060</S> him<S>559</S>, and said to him<S>6965</S>, "Arise and eat<S>398</S>!"


text:
He looked<S>5027</S>, and behold<S>4763</S>, there was at his head a cake<S>5692</S> baked on the coals<S>7529</S>, and a jar<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S>. He ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>, and lay down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
The angel<S>4397</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came again<S>7725</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, "Arise<S>6965</S> and eat<S>398</S>, because the journey<S>1870</S> is too great for you<S>7227</S>."


text:
He arose<S>6965</S>, and ate<S>398</S> and drank<S>8354</S>, and went<S>3212</S> in the strength<S>3581</S> of that food<S>396</S> forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S> and forty<S>705</S> nights<S>3915</S> to Horeb<S>2722</S> the Mount<S>2022</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
He came<S>935</S> there to a cave<S>4631</S>, and lodged<S>3885</S> there<S>1697</S>; and behold, the word of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to him<S>559</S>, and he said to him<S>452</S>, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Armies<S>6635</S>; for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> your covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> your altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> your prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>. I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Go out<S>3318</S>, and stand<S>5975</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>." Behold<S>3068</S>, Yahweh passed by<S>5674</S>, and a great<S>1419</S> and strong<S>2389</S> wind<S>7307</S> tore<S>6561</S> the mountains<S>2022</S>, and broke in pieces<S>7665</S> the rocks<S>5553</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>; but Yahweh<S>3068</S> was not in the wind<S>7307</S>. After<S>310</S> the wind<S>7307</S> an earthquake<S>7494</S>; but Yahweh<S>3068</S> was not in the earthquake<S>7494</S>.

After<S>310</S> the earthquake<S>7494</S> a fire<S>784</S> passed<S>3068</S>; but Yahweh was not in the fire<S>784</S>: and after<S>310</S> the fire<S>784</S> a still<S>1827</S> small<S>1851</S> voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
It was so<S>452</S>, when Elijah heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3874</S>, that he wrapped his face<S>6440</S> in his mantle<S>155</S>, and went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in<S>6607</S> the entrance of the cave<S>4631</S>. Behold<S>6963</S>, a voice came to him<S>559</S>, and said, "What are you doing here<S>452</S>, Elijah?"


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Go, return<S>7725</S> on your way<S>1870</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>. When you arrive<S>935</S>, you shall anoint<S>4886</S> Hazael<S>2371</S> to be king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>.


text:
You shall anoint<S>4886</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> to be king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>; and you shall anoint<S>4886</S> Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> of Abel Meholah<S>65</S> to be prophet in your place<S>5030</S>.


text:
It shall happen<S>4422</S>, that he who escapes from the sword<S>2719</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S>, Jehu<S>3058</S> will kill<S>4191</S>; and he who escapes<S>4422</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S>, Elisha<S>477</S> will kill<S>4191</S>.


text:
Yet will I leave<S>7604</S> seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, all the knees<S>1290</S> which have not bowed<S>3766</S> to Baal<S>1168</S>, and every mouth<S>6310</S> which has not kissed him<S>5401</S>."


text:
So he departed<S>3212</S> there<S>4672</S>, and found Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S>, who was plowing<S>2790</S>, with twelve<S>8147</S> yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen before<S>6440</S> him<S>8147</S>, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah<S>452</S> passed<S>5674</S> over to him<S>7993</S>, and cast his mantle on him<S>155</S>.


text:
He left<S>5800</S> the oxen<S>1241</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Let me please kiss<S>5401</S> my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>, and then I will follow<S>3212</S> you<S>559</S>." He said to him<S>3212</S>, "Go back again<S>7725</S>; for what have I done to you<S>6213</S>?"


text:
He returned<S>7725</S> from following him<S>310</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and killed<S>2076</S> them<S>1310</S>, and boiled their flesh<S>1320</S> with the instruments<S>3627</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, and they ate<S>398</S>. Then he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and served him<S>8334</S>.


text:
Now the days<S>3117</S> of David<S>1732</S> drew near<S>7126</S> that he should die<S>4191</S>; and he commanded<S>6680</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"I am going<S>1980</S> the way<S>1870</S> of all the earth<S>776</S>. You be strong<S>2388</S> therefore<S>376</S>, and show yourself a man;


text:
and keep<S>8104</S> the instruction<S>4931</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> in his ways<S>1870</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> his statutes<S>2708</S>, his commandments<S>4687</S>, his ordinances<S>4941</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S>, according to that which is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, that you may prosper<S>7919</S> in all that you do<S>6213</S>, and wherever you turn yourself<S>6437</S>.


text:
That Yahweh<S>3068</S> may establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S> concerning me<S>559</S>, saying, <S>1121</S> 'If your children take heed<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me in truth<S>571</S> with all their heart<S>3824</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S>, there shall not fail<S>3772</S> you<S>559</S>,' he said, <S>376</S> 'a man on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.'


text:
"Moreover you know<S>3045</S> also what Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> did<S>6213</S> to me<S>6213</S>, even what he did to the two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> of the armies<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, and to Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jether<S>3500</S>, whom he killed<S>2026</S>, and shed<S>7760</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of war<S>4421</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, and put<S>5414</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of war<S>4421</S> on his sash<S>2290</S> that was about his waist<S>4975</S>, and in his shoes<S>5275</S> that were on his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
Do<S>6213</S> therefore according to your wisdom<S>2451</S>, and don<S>7872</S>'t let his gray head go down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
But show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> to the sons<S>1121</S> of Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S>, and let them be of those who eat<S>398</S> at your table<S>7979</S>; for so they came<S>7126</S> to me when I fled<S>1272</S> from<S>1272</S> Absalom<S>53</S> your brother<S>251</S>.


text:
"Behold<S>8096</S>, there is with you Shimei the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, the Benjamite<S>1145</S>, of Bahurim<S>980</S>, who cursed<S>7043</S> me with a grievous<S>4834</S> curse<S>7045</S> in the day<S>3117</S> when I went<S>3212</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>; but he came down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me at the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and I swore<S>7650</S> to him by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>4191</S> 'I will not put you to death with the sword<S>2719</S>.'


text:
Now therefore don<S>5352</S>'t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>; and you will know<S>3045</S> what you ought to do<S>6213</S> to him<S>7872</S>, and you shall bring his gray head down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S> with blood<S>1818</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
The days<S>3117</S> that David<S>1732</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> were forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>; he reigned<S>4427</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> thirty<S>7970</S> - three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> sat<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; and his kingdom<S>4438</S> was firmly<S>3966</S> established<S>3559</S>.


text:
Then Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> came<S>935</S> to Bathsheba<S>1339</S> the mother<S>517</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>. She said<S>559</S>, "Do you come<S>935</S> peaceably<S>7965</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "Peaceably<S>7965</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> moreover<S>1697</S>, I have something to tell you<S>1697</S>." She said, "Say on<S>1696</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "You know<S>3045</S> that the kingdom<S>4410</S> was mine<S>3478</S>, and that all Israel set<S>7760</S> their faces<S>6440</S> on me<S>4427</S>, that I should reign. However the kingdom<S>4410</S> is turned around<S>5437</S>, and has become my brother<S>251</S>'s; for it was his from Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now I ask<S>7592</S> one<S>259</S> petition<S>7596</S> of you<S>7725</S>. Don't deny me<S>6440</S>." She said<S>559</S> to him<S>1696</S>, "Say on."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Please speak<S>559</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> the king<S>4428</S> (for he will not tell<S>7725</S> you<S>6440, 7725</S> 'no'), that he give<S>5414</S> me Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> as wife<S>802</S>."


text:
Bathsheba<S>1339</S> said<S>559</S>, "Alright<S>2896</S>. I will speak<S>1696</S> for you to the king<S>4428</S>."


text:
Bathsheba<S>1339</S> therefore went<S>935</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, to speak<S>1696</S> to him for Adonijah<S>138</S>. The king<S>4428</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to meet<S>7125</S> her<S>7812</S>, and bowed himself to her<S>3427</S>, and sat down on his throne<S>3678</S>, and caused a throne<S>3678</S> to be set<S>7760</S> for the king<S>4428</S>'s mother<S>517</S>; and she sat<S>7760</S> on his right hand<S>3225</S>.


text:
Then she said<S>7592</S>, "I ask one<S>259</S> small<S>6996</S> petition<S>7596</S> of you<S>7725</S>; don't deny<S>7725</S> me<S>6440</S>." The king<S>4428</S> said<S>7725</S> to her<S>7725</S>, "Ask on<S>7592</S>, my mother<S>517</S>; for I will<S>7725</S> not deny<S>7725</S> you<S>6440</S>."


text:
She said<S>559</S>, "Let Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> be given<S>5414</S> to Adonijah<S>138</S> your brother<S>251</S> as wife<S>802</S>."


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> answered<S>6030</S> his mother<S>517</S>, "Why do you ask<S>7592</S> Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> for Adonijah<S>138</S>? Ask<S>7592</S> for him the kingdom<S>4410</S> also<S>1419</S>; for he is my elder brother<S>251</S>; even for him<S>54</S>, and for Abiathar the priest<S>3548</S>, and for Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>."


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> swore<S>7650</S> by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if Adonijah<S>138</S> has not spoken<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> against his own life<S>5315</S>.


text:
Now therefore as Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, who has established<S>3559</S> me<S>3427</S>, and set me on the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and who has made<S>6213</S> me a house<S>1004</S>, as he promised<S>1696</S>, surely Adonijah<S>138</S> shall be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>."


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> by<S>3027</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>; and he fell<S>6293</S> on him<S>4191</S>, so that he died.


text:
To Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S> the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> to Anathoth<S>6068</S>, to your own fields<S>7704</S>; for you are worthy<S>376</S> of death<S>4194</S>. But I will not at this time<S>3117</S> put you to death<S>4191</S>, because you bore<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>136</S> Yahweh<S>3069</S> before<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and because you were afflicted<S>6031</S> in all in which my father<S>1</S> was afflicted<S>6031</S>."


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> thrust out<S>1644</S> Abiathar<S>54</S> from being priest<S>3548</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that he might fulfill<S>4390</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> concerning the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>.


text:
The news<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>; for Joab<S>3097</S> had turned<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> Adonijah<S>138</S>, though he didn<S>5186</S>'t turn after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>. Joab<S>3097</S> fled<S>5127</S> to the Tent<S>168</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and caught hold<S>2388</S> on the horns<S>7161</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, "Joab<S>3097</S> has fled<S>5127</S> to the Tent<S>168</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and behold<S>681</S>, he is by the altar<S>4196</S>." Then Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>, fall on him<S>6293</S>."


text:
Benaiah<S>1141</S> came<S>935</S> to the Tent<S>168</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says the king<S>4428</S>, <S>3318</S> 'Come forth!'" He said<S>559</S>, "No<S>4191</S>; but I will die here<S>1141</S>." Benaiah brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Thus said<S>1696</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and thus he answered me<S>1696</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6213</S>, "Do as he has said<S>559</S>, and fall<S>6293</S> on him<S>6912</S>, and bury him<S>5493</S>; that you may take away the blood<S>1818</S>, which Joab<S>3097</S> shed<S>8210</S> without cause<S>2600</S>, from me and from my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> will return<S>7725</S> his blood<S>1818</S> on his own head<S>7218</S>, because he fell<S>6293</S> on two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> more righteous<S>6662</S> and better<S>2896</S> than he<S>2026</S>, and killed them with the sword<S>2719</S>, and my father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S> didn<S>3045</S>'t know it<S>74</S>: Abner the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jether<S>3500</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
So shall their blood<S>1818</S> return<S>7725</S> on the head<S>7218</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and on the head<S>7218</S> of his seed<S>2233</S> forever<S>5769</S>. But to David<S>1732</S>, and to his seed<S>2233</S>, and to his house<S>1004</S>, and to his throne<S>3678</S>, there shall be peace<S>7965, Philippians4</S> forever<S>5769</S> from Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
Then Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and fell<S>6293</S> on him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>6912</S>; and he was buried in his own house<S>1004</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> in his place over the army<S>6635</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S> in the place of Abiathar<S>54</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>1129</S>, "Build yourself a house<S>1004</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and dwell<S>3427</S> there<S>3318</S>, and don't go out from there anywhere<S>575</S>.


text:
For on the day<S>3117</S> you go out<S>3318</S>, and pass over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, know<S>3045</S> for certain<S>3045</S> that you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>: your blood<S>1818</S> shall be on your own head<S>7218</S>."


text:
Shimei<S>8096</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, "The saying<S>559</S> is good<S>2896</S>. As my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> has said<S>1696</S>, so will your servant<S>5650</S> do<S>6213</S>." Shimei<S>8096</S> lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
It happened at the end<S>7093</S> of three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, that two<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Shimei<S>8096</S> ran away<S>1272</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, son<S>1121</S> of Maacah<S>4601</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>. They told<S>5046</S> Shimei<S>8096</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>5650</S>, your servants are in Gath<S>1661</S>."

Shimei<S>8096</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and saddled<S>2280</S> his donkey<S>2543</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Gath<S>1661</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, to seek<S>1245</S> his servants<S>5650</S>; and Shimei<S>8096</S> went<S>3212</S>, and brought<S>935</S> his servants<S>5650</S> from Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> that Shimei<S>8096</S> had gone<S>1980</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>, and had come again<S>7725</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>7650</S>, "Didn't I adjure you by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and warn<S>5749</S> you<S>559</S>, saying, <S>3045</S> 'Know for certain<S>3045</S>, that on the day<S>3117</S> you go out<S>3318</S>, and walk<S>1980</S> abroad any where<S>575</S>, you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>?' You said<S>559</S> to me<S>1697</S>, 'The saying that I have heard<S>8085</S> is good<S>2896</S>.'


text:
Why then have you not kept<S>8104</S> the oath<S>7621</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the commandment<S>4687</S> that I have instructed you with<S>6680</S>?"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> moreover to Shimei<S>8096</S>, "You know<S>3045</S> all the wickedness<S>7451</S> which your heart<S>3824</S> is privy to<S>3045</S>, that you did<S>6213</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>. Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> shall return<S>7725</S> your wickedness<S>7451</S> on your own head<S>7218</S>.


text:
But king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> shall be blessed<S>1288</S>, and the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> shall be established<S>3559</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068, Philippians4</S> forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>; and he went out<S>3318</S>, and fell<S>6293</S> on him<S>4191</S>, so that he died. The kingdom<S>4467</S> was established<S>3559</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all his army<S>2428</S> together<S>6908</S>; and there were thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> with him<S>5483</S>, and horses and chariots<S>7393</S>: and he went up<S>5927</S> and besieged<S>6696</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and fought against it<S>3898</S>.


text:
He sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, into the city<S>5892</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says Ben Hadad<S>1130</S>,


text:
<S>3701</S> 'Your silver and your gold<S>2091</S> is mine<S>802</S>. Your wives also and your children<S>1121</S>, even the best<S>2896</S>, are mine.'"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "It<S>559</S> is according to your saying<S>559</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>. I am yours, and all that I have."


text:
The messengers<S>4397</S> came again<S>7725</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> says<S>559</S>, <S>559</S> 'I sent<S>7971</S> indeed to you<S>559</S>, saying, "You shall deliver<S>5414</S> me your silver<S>3701</S>, and your gold<S>2091</S>, and your wives<S>802</S>, and your children<S>1121</S>;


text:
but I will send<S>7971</S> my servants<S>5650</S> to you tomorrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>, and they shall search<S>2664</S> your house<S>1004</S>, and the houses<S>1004</S> of your servants<S>5650</S>; and it shall be<S>1961</S>, that whatever is pleasant<S>4261</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>, they shall put<S>7760</S> it in their hand<S>3027</S>, and take it away<S>3947</S>."'"


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> all the elders<S>2205</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Please<S>3045</S> notice<S>7200</S> how this man seeks<S>1245</S> mischief<S>7451</S>; for he sent<S>7971</S> to me for my wives<S>802</S>, and for my children<S>1121</S>, and for my silver<S>3701</S>, and for my gold<S>2091</S>; and I didn<S>4513</S>'t deny him."


text:
All the elders<S>2205</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, "Don't listen, neither consent<S>14</S>."


text:
Therefore he said<S>559</S> to the messengers<S>4397</S> of Ben Hadad<S>1130</S>, "Tell<S>559</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, <S>7971</S> 'All that you sent for to your servant<S>5650</S> at the first<S>7223</S> I will do<S>6213</S>; but this thing<S>1697</S> I cannot<S>3201</S> do<S>6213</S>.'" The messengers<S>4397</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and brought<S>7725</S> him back<S>7725</S> the message<S>1697</S>.


text:
Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> sent<S>7971</S> to him<S>559</S>, and said, "The gods<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> to me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if the dust<S>6083</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> shall suffice<S>5606</S> for handfuls<S>8168</S> for all the people<S>5971</S> who follow me<S>7272</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Tell<S>1696</S> him<S>2296</S>, 'Don't let him who puts on his armor brag<S>1984</S> like he who takes it off<S>6605</S>.'"


text:
It happened<S>8085</S>, when Ben Hadad heard this message<S>1697</S>, as he was drinking<S>8354</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S>, in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, that he said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Prepare<S>7760</S> to attack<S>7760</S>!" They prepared to attack the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Behold<S>259</S>, a prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> near to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>7200</S> 'Have you seen all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S>? Behold<S>5414</S>, I will deliver it into your hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>; and you shall know<S>3045</S> that I am Yahweh<S>3068</S>.'"


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S>, "By whom<S>559</S>?" He said, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>5288</S> 'By the young men of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>.'" Then he said<S>559</S>, "Who shall begin<S>631</S> the battle<S>4421</S>?" He answered<S>559</S>, "You."


text:
Then he mustered<S>6485</S> the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and they were two<S>8147</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S>. After<S>310</S> them<S>6485</S>, he mustered all the people<S>5971</S>, even all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, being seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
They went out<S>3318</S> at noon<S>6672</S>. But Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> was drinking<S>8354</S> himself drunk<S>7910</S> in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S>, the thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> who helped him<S>5826</S>.


text:
The young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> went out<S>3318</S> first<S>7223</S>; and Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> sent out<S>7971</S>, and they told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, "Men<S>582</S> are coming out<S>3318</S> from Samaria<S>8111</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "If they have come out<S>3318</S> for peace<S>7965</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>; or if they have come out<S>3318</S> for war<S>4421</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>."


text:
So these went out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and the army<S>2428</S> which followed them<S>310</S>.


text:
They each<S>376</S> killed<S>5221</S> his man<S>376</S>. The Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> pursued<S>7291</S> them<S>1130</S>. Ben Hadad the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> on a horse<S>5483</S> with horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
The prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> near to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Go, strengthen<S>2388</S> yourself<S>3045</S>, and mark, and see<S>7200</S> what you do<S>6213</S>; for at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> will come up against you<S>5927</S>."


text:
The servants<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>430</S>, "Their god is a god<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>; therefore they were stronger<S>2388</S> than we<S>199</S>. But let us fight<S>3898</S> against them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely<S>3808</S> we shall be stronger than they<S>2388</S>.


text:
Do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>: take<S>5493</S> the kings<S>4428</S> away<S>376</S>, every man out of his place<S>4725</S>, and put<S>7760</S> captains in their place<S>6346</S>.


text:
Muster<S>4487</S> an army<S>2428</S>, like the army<S>2428</S> that you have lost<S>5307</S>, horse<S>5483</S> for horse<S>5483</S>, and chariot<S>7393</S> for chariot<S>7393</S>. We will fight<S>3898</S> against<S>854</S> them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely we will be stronger<S>2388</S> than them<S>8085</S>." He listened to their voice<S>6963</S>, and did so<S>6213</S>.


text:
It happened at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S>, that Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> mustered<S>6485</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, to fight<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were mustered<S>6485</S>, and were provisioned<S>3557</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> them<S>1121</S>. The children of Israel<S>3478</S> encamped<S>2583</S> before them like two<S>8147</S> little flocks<S>2835</S> of young goats<S>5795</S>; but the Syrians<S>758</S> filled<S>4390</S> the country<S>776</S>.


text:
A man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>5066</S> near and spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>758</S> 'Because the Syrians have said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> is a god<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>, but he is not a god<S>430</S> of the valleys<S>6010</S>;" therefore I will deliver<S>5414</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>, and you shall know<S>3045</S> that I am Yahweh<S>3068</S>.'"


text:
They encamped<S>2583</S> one<S>428</S> over against<S>5227</S> the other<S>428</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>. So it was<S>7637</S>, that in the seventh day<S>3117</S> the battle<S>4421</S> was joined<S>7126</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> killed<S>5221</S> one hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the rest<S>3498</S> fled<S>5127</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, into the city<S>5892</S>; and the wall<S>2346</S> fell<S>5307</S> on twenty<S>6242</S> - seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> who were left<S>3498</S>. Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, into an inner<S>2315</S> room<S>2315</S>.


text:
His servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, "See now, we have heard that the kings<S>4428</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> are merciful<S>2617</S> kings<S>4428</S>. Please let us put<S>7760</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on our bodies<S>4975</S>, and ropes<S>2256</S> on our heads<S>7218</S>, and go out<S>3318</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. Maybe he will save<S>2421</S> your life<S>5315</S>."


text:
So they put<S>2296</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on their bodies<S>4975</S> and ropes<S>2256</S> on their heads<S>7218</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Your servant<S>5650</S> Ben Hadad<S>1130</S> says<S>559</S>, <S>2421</S> 'Please let me live.'" He said<S>559</S>, "Is he still alive<S>2416</S>? He is my brother<S>251</S>."


text:
Now the men<S>582</S> observed<S>5172</S> diligently<S>4116</S>, and hurried to take<S>2480</S> this phrase<S>559</S>; and they said, "Your brother<S>251</S> Ben Hadad<S>1130</S>." Then he said<S>559</S>, "Go<S>935</S>, bring<S>3947</S> him<S>1130</S>." Then Ben Hadad came out<S>3318</S> to him<S>5927</S>; and he caused him to come up into the chariot<S>4818</S>.


text:
Ben Hadad said<S>559</S> to him<S>5892</S>, "The cities which my father<S>1</S> took<S>3947</S> from your father<S>1</S> I will restore<S>7725</S>. You shall make<S>7760</S> streets<S>2351</S> for yourself in Damascus<S>1834</S>, as my father<S>1</S> made<S>7760</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>." "I<S>7971</S>," said Ahab, "will let you go with this covenant<S>1285</S>." So he made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with him<S>7971</S>, and let him go.


text:
A certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> to his fellow<S>7453</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "Please strike<S>5221</S> me<S>376</S>!" The man refused<S>3985</S> to strike him<S>5221</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, "Because you have not obeyed the voice<S>6963</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, behold<S>1980</S>, as soon as you are departed from me<S>738</S>, a lion shall kill<S>5221</S> you<S>3212</S>." As soon as he was departed from him<S>681</S>, a lion<S>738</S> found<S>4672</S> him<S>5221</S>, and killed him.


text:
Then he found<S>4672</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Please strike<S>5221</S> me<S>376</S>." The man struck<S>5221</S> him<S>5221</S>, smiting and wounding him<S>6481</S>.


text:
So the prophet<S>5030</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and waited<S>5975</S> for the king<S>4428</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, and disguised<S>2664</S> himself with his headband<S>666</S> over his eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
As the king<S>4428</S> passed by<S>5674</S>, he cried<S>6817</S> to the king<S>4428</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, "Your servant<S>5650</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the midst<S>7130</S> of the battle<S>4421</S>; and behold<S>376</S>, a man turned aside<S>5493</S>, and brought<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> to me<S>559</S>, and said, <S>8104</S> 'Guard this man<S>376</S>! If by any means<S>6485</S> he be missing<S>6485</S>, then your life<S>5315</S> shall be for his life<S>5315</S>, or else you shall pay<S>8254</S> a talent<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>.'


text:
As your servant<S>5650</S> was busy<S>6213</S> here and there<S>369</S>, he was gone." The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>4941</S>, "So your judgment shall be<S>2782</S>; you yourself have decided it."


text:
He hurried<S>4116</S>, and took the headband<S>666</S> away<S>5493</S> from his eyes<S>5869</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> recognized<S>5234</S> that he was of the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>7971</S> 'Because you have let go out of your hand<S>3027</S> the man<S>376</S> whom I had devoted to destruction<S>2764</S>, therefore your life<S>5315</S> shall go for his life<S>5315</S>, and your people<S>5971</S> for his people<S>5971</S>.'"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> to his house<S>1004</S> sullen<S>5620</S> and angry<S>2198</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.

It happened after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, that Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had a vineyard<S>3754</S>, which was in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, hard by<S>681</S> the palace<S>1964</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Naboth<S>5022</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Give<S>5414</S> me your vineyard<S>3754</S>, that I may have it for a garden<S>1588</S> of herbs<S>3419</S>, because it is near<S>7138</S> to<S>681</S> my house<S>1004</S>; and I will give<S>5414</S> you for it a better<S>2896</S> vineyard<S>3754</S> than it<S>2896</S>. Or, if it seems good to you<S>5869</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> you its worth<S>4242</S> in money<S>3701</S>."


text:
Naboth<S>5022</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, "May Yahweh<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> me<S>5414</S>, that I should give the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers to you<S>1</S>!"


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> came<S>935</S> into his house<S>1004</S> sullen<S>5620</S> and angry<S>2198</S> because of the word<S>1697</S> which Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>; for he had said, "I will not give<S>5414</S> you the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>." He laid himself down<S>7901</S> on his bed<S>4296</S>, and turned away<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and would eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
But Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to him<S>1696</S>, and said to him<S>7307</S>, "Why is your spirit so sad<S>5620</S>, that you eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>?"


text:
He said<S>1696</S> to her<S>1696</S>, "Because I spoke to Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>, and said<S>1696</S> to him<S>5414</S>, 'Give me your vineyard<S>3754</S> for money<S>3701</S>; or else<S>2655</S>, if it pleases you<S>5414</S>, I will give you another vineyard<S>3754</S> for it<S>559</S>.' He answered, <S>5414</S> 'I will not give you my vineyard<S>3754</S>.'"


text:
Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6213</S>, "Do you now govern the kingdom<S>4410</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? Arise<S>6965</S>, and eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and let your heart<S>3820</S> be merry<S>3190</S>. I will give<S>5414</S> you the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>."


text:
So she wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S> in Ahab<S>256</S>'s name<S>8034</S>, and sealed<S>2856</S> them with his seal<S>2368</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the letters<S>5612</S> to the elders<S>2205</S> and to the nobles<S>2715</S> who were in his city<S>5892</S>, who lived<S>3427</S> with Naboth<S>5022</S>.


text:
She wrote<S>3789</S> in the letters<S>5612</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Proclaim<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S>, and set<S>3427</S> Naboth<S>5022</S> on high<S>7218</S> among the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Set<S>3427</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S>, base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>1121</S>, before him<S>5749</S>, and let them testify against him<S>559</S>, saying, <S>1288</S> 'You cursed God<S>430</S> and the king<S>4428</S>!' Then carry him out<S>3318</S>, and stone<S>5619</S> him to death<S>4191</S>."


text:
The men<S>582</S> of his city<S>5892</S>, even the elders<S>2205</S> and the nobles<S>2715</S> who lived<S>3427</S> in his city<S>5892</S>, did<S>6213</S> as Jezebel<S>348</S> had sent<S>7971</S> to them<S>3789</S>, according as it was written in the letters<S>5612</S> which she had sent to them<S>7971</S>.


text:
They proclaimed<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S>, and set<S>3427</S> Naboth<S>5022</S> on high<S>7218</S> among the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
The two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S>, the base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>1121</S>, came<S>935</S> in and sat<S>3427</S> before him<S>1100</S>. The base fellows<S>582</S> testified<S>5749</S> against him<S>5022</S>, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Naboth<S>5022</S> cursed<S>1288</S> God<S>430</S> and the king<S>4428</S>!" Then they carried<S>3318</S> him out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and stoned<S>5619</S> him to death<S>4191</S> with stones<S>68</S>.


text:
Then they sent<S>7971</S> to Jezebel<S>348</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Naboth<S>5022</S> has been stoned<S>5619</S>, and is dead<S>4191</S>."


text:
It happened<S>348</S>, when Jezebel heard<S>8085</S> that Naboth<S>5022</S> was stoned<S>5619</S>, and was dead<S>4191</S>, that Jezebel<S>348</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, "Arise<S>6965</S>, take possession<S>3423</S> of the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>, which he refused<S>3985</S> to give<S>5414</S> you for money<S>3701</S>; for Naboth<S>5022</S> is not alive<S>2416</S>, but dead<S>4191</S>."


text:
It happened<S>256</S>, when Ahab heard<S>8085</S> that Naboth<S>5022</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, that Ahab<S>256</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to go down<S>3381</S> to the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>, to take possession of it<S>3423</S>.


text:
The word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came to Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
"Arise<S>6965</S>, go down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who dwells in Samaria<S>8111</S>. Behold<S>3754</S>, he is in the vineyard of Naboth<S>5022</S>, where he has gone down<S>3381</S> to take possession of it<S>3423</S>.


text:
You shall speak<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, <S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "Have you killed<S>7523</S> and also taken possession<S>3423</S>?"' You shall speak<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, <S>559</S> 'Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, "In the place<S>4725</S> where dogs<S>3611</S> licked<S>3952</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S>, dogs<S>3611</S> will lick<S>3952</S> your blood<S>1818</S>, even yours."'"


text:
Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, "Have you found<S>4672</S> me<S>341</S>, my enemy?" He answered<S>559</S>, "I have found<S>4672</S> you<S>4376</S>, because you have sold yourself to do<S>6213</S> that which is evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Behold<S>935</S>, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> on you<S>310</S>, and will utterly sweep you away<S>1197</S> and will cut off<S>3772</S> from Ahab<S>256</S> everyone who urinates<S>8366</S> against a wall<S>7023</S>, and him who is shut up<S>6113</S> and him who is left<S>5800</S> at large in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
I will make<S>5414</S> your house<S>1004</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and like the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S> for the provocation<S>3708</S> with which you have provoked me to anger<S>3707</S>, and have made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>."


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> also spoke<S>1696</S> of Jezebel<S>348</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "The dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> by the rampart<S>2426</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
The dogs<S>3611</S> will eat<S>398</S> he who dies<S>4191</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in the city<S>5892</S>; and the birds<S>5775</S> of the sky<S>8064</S> will eat<S>398</S> he who dies<S>4191</S> in the field<S>7704</S>."


text:
But there was none like Ahab<S>256</S>, who sold<S>4376</S> himself to do<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, whom Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> stirred up<S>5496</S>.


text:
He did very<S>3966</S> abominably<S>8581</S> in following<S>3212</S> idols<S>1544</S>, according to all that the Amorites<S>567</S> did<S>6213</S>, whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened<S>256</S>, when Ahab heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and put<S>7760</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on his flesh<S>1320</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> in sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and went<S>1980</S> softly<S>328</S>.


text:
"See<S>7200</S> how Ahab<S>256</S> humbles<S>3665</S> himself before<S>6440</S> me<S>3282</S>? Because he humbles<S>3665</S> himself before<S>6440</S> me<S>935</S>, I will not bring the evil<S>7451</S> in his days<S>3117</S>; but in his son<S>1121</S>'s days<S>3117</S> will I bring<S>935</S> the evil<S>7451</S> on his house<S>1004</S>."


text:
They continued<S>3427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> without war<S>4421</S> between Syria<S>758</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened in the third<S>7992</S> year<S>8141</S>, that Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> came down<S>3381</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "You know<S>3045</S> that Ramoth<S>7433</S> Gilead<S>1568</S> is ours<S>2814</S>, and we are still, and don<S>3947</S>'t take it out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>?"


text:
He said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "Will you go<S>3212</S> with me to battle<S>4421</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>?" Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "I am as you<S>3644</S> are<S>5971</S>, my people as your people<S>5971</S>, my horses<S>5483</S> as your horses<S>5483</S>."


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Please inquire<S>1875</S> first<S>3117</S> for the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S>, about four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3212</S>, "Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>?" They said<S>559</S>, "Go up<S>5927</S>; for the Lord<S>136</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>."


text:
But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, "Isn<S>5030</S>'t there here a prophet of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that<S>5750</S> we may inquire of him<S>1875</S>?"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "There is yet one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> by whom we may inquire<S>1875</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imlah<S>3229</S>; but I hate<S>8130</S> him<S>5012</S>; for he does not prophesy good<S>2896</S> concerning me<S>7451</S>, but evil." Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, "Don<S>4428</S>'t let the king say so<S>559</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> an<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Quickly<S>4116</S> get Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imlah<S>3229</S>."


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> were sitting<S>3427</S> each<S>376</S> on<S>3847</S> his throne<S>3678</S>, arrayed<S>3847</S> in their robes<S>899</S>, in an open place<S>1637</S> at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and all the prophets<S>5030</S> were prophesying before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> made<S>6213</S> him horns<S>7161</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>5055</S> 'With these you shall push the Syrians<S>758</S>, until they are consumed<S>3615</S>.'"


text:
All the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> so<S>559</S>, saying, "Go up<S>5927</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>, and prosper<S>6743</S>; for Yahweh<S>3068</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>."


text:
The messenger<S>4397</S> who went<S>1980</S> to call<S>7121</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>, saying, "See now<S>5030</S>, the prophets declare<S>1697</S> good<S>2896</S> to the king<S>4428</S> with one<S>259</S> mouth<S>6310</S>. Please let your word<S>1697</S> be like the word<S>1697</S> of one<S>259</S> of them<S>1696</S>, and speak good<S>2896</S>."


text:
Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, what Yahweh<S>3068</S> says<S>559</S> to me<S>1696</S>, that I will speak."


text:
When he had come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>4321</S>, "Micaiah, shall we go<S>3212</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall we forbear<S>2308</S>?" He answered<S>559</S> him<S>5927</S>, "Go up and prosper<S>6743</S>; and Yahweh<S>3068</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6471</S>, "How many times do I have to adjure<S>7650</S> you that you speak<S>1696</S> to me nothing but the truth<S>571</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>?"


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "I saw<S>7200</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> scattered<S>6327</S> on the mountains<S>2022</S>, as sheep<S>6629</S> that have no shepherd<S>7462</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, <S>113</S> 'These have no master. Let them each<S>376</S> return<S>7725</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.'"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "Didn<S>559</S>'t I tell you that he would not prophesy<S>5012</S> good<S>2896</S> concerning me<S>7451</S>, but evil?"


text:
Micaiah said<S>559</S>, "Therefore hear<S>8085</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>. I saw<S>7200</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> sitting<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, and all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> standing<S>5975</S> by him on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, <S>6601</S> 'Who shall entice Ahab<S>256</S>, that he may go up<S>5927</S> and fall<S>5307</S> at Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>?' One said<S>559</S> one thing<S>3541</S>; and another said<S>559</S> another<S>3541</S>.


text:
A spirit<S>7307</S> came out<S>3318</S> and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, <S>6601</S> 'I will entice him.'


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, 'How?' He said, <S>3318</S> 'I will go out and will be a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all his prophets<S>5030</S>.' He said<S>559</S>, <S>6601</S> 'You will entice him<S>3201</S>, and will also prevail. Go out<S>3318</S> and do so<S>6213</S>.'


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, behold, Yahweh has put<S>5414</S> a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all these your prophets<S>5030</S>; and Yahweh<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> evil concerning you<S>7451</S>."

Then Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> on the cheek<S>3895</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Which way<S>335</S> did the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> go<S>5674</S> from me to speak to you<S>1696</S>?"


text:
Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>7200</S>, you will see on that day<S>3117</S>, when you go<S>935</S> into an inner<S>2315</S> room<S>2315</S> to hide yourself<S>2247</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S>, and carry him back<S>7725</S> to Amon<S>526</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and to Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Say<S>559</S>, <S>559</S> 'Thus says the king<S>4428</S>, "Put<S>7760</S> this fellow in the prison<S>1004</S>, and feed<S>398</S> him with bread<S>3899</S> of affliction<S>3906</S> and with water<S>4325</S> of affliction<S>3906</S>, until I come<S>935</S> in peace<S>7965</S>."'"


text:
Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, "If you return<S>7725</S> at all<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> has not spoken<S>1696</S> by me<S>559</S>." He said, "Listen<S>8085</S>, all you people<S>5971</S>!"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went up<S>5927</S> to Ramoth Gilead<S>7433</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "I will disguise<S>2664</S> myself<S>935</S>, and go into the battle<S>4421</S>; but you put on<S>3847</S> your robes<S>899</S>." The king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>935</S>, and went into the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Now the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> the thirty<S>7970</S> - two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Fight<S>3898</S> neither with small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, except only with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
It happened<S>8269</S>, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, that they said<S>559</S>, "Surely that is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>!" and they turned aside<S>5493</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against him<S>3092</S>. Jehoshaphat cried out<S>2199</S>.


text:
It happened<S>8269</S>, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> that it was not the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that they turned back<S>7725</S> from pursuing him<S>310</S>.


text:
A certain man<S>376</S> drew<S>4900</S> his bow<S>7198</S> at random<S>8537</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> between the joints<S>1694</S> of the armor<S>8302</S>. Therefore he said<S>559</S> to the driver of his chariot<S>7395</S>, "Turn<S>2015</S> your hand<S>3027</S>, and carry me out<S>3318</S> of the battle<S>4264</S>; for I am severely wounded<S>2470</S>."


text:
The battle<S>4421</S> increased<S>5927</S> that day<S>3117</S>. The king<S>4428</S> was propped up<S>5975</S> in his chariot<S>4818</S> facing<S>5227</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and died<S>4191</S> at evening<S>6153</S>. The blood<S>1818</S> ran out<S>3332</S> of the wound<S>4347</S> into the bottom<S>2436</S> of the chariot<S>7393</S>.


text:
A cry<S>7440</S> went<S>5674</S> throughout the army<S>4264</S> about the going down<S>935</S> of the sun<S>8121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Every man<S>376</S> to his city<S>5892</S>, and every man<S>376</S> to his country<S>776</S>!"


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> died<S>4191</S>, and was brought<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> the king<S>4428</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
They washed<S>7857</S> the chariot<S>7393</S> by the pool<S>1295</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and the dogs<S>3611</S> licked up<S>3952</S> his blood<S>1818</S> where the prostitutes washed<S>7364</S> themselves<S>2185</S>; according to the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and the ivory<S>8127</S> house<S>1004</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, and all the cities<S>5892</S> that he built<S>1129</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Ahaziah<S>274</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asa<S>609</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> in the fourth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> - five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. His mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Azubah<S>5806</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Shilhi<S>7977</S>.


text:
He walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S>; He didn<S>5493</S>'t turn aside from it<S>6213</S>, doing that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: however the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>; the people<S>5971</S> still sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> that he showed<S>6213</S>, and how he warred<S>3898</S>, aren<S>3789</S>'t they written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
The remnant<S>3499</S> of the sodomites<S>6945</S>, that remained<S>7604</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of his father<S>1</S> Asa<S>609</S>, he put away<S>1197</S> out of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> made<S>6213</S> ships<S>591</S> of Tarshish<S>8659</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Ophir<S>211</S> for gold<S>2091</S>: but they didn<S>1980</S>'t go; for the ships<S>591</S> were broken<S>7665</S> at Ezion Geber<S>6100</S>.


text:
Then Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, "Let my servants<S>5650</S> go<S>3212</S> with your servants<S>5650</S> in the ships<S>591</S>." But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> would not<S>14</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; Jehoram<S>3088</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his place<S>4427</S>.


text:
Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> in the seventeenth<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> two years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and in the way<S>1870</S> of his mother<S>517</S>, and in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, in which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
He served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> him<S>3707</S>, and provoked to anger Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> made affinity<S>2859</S> with Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and took<S>3947</S> Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, and brought<S>935</S> her into the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, until he had made an end<S>3615</S> of building<S>1129</S> his own house<S>1004</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> all around<S>5439</S>.


text:
Only the people<S>5971</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>, because there was no house<S>1004</S> built<S>1129</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> until those days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> loved<S>157</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, walking<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: only he sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> went<S>3212</S> to Gibeon<S>1391</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> there<S>1931</S>; for that was the great<S>1419</S> high place<S>1116</S>. Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>5927</S> a thousand<S>505</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> on that altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
In Gibeon<S>1391</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> in a dream<S>2472</S> by night<S>3915</S>; and God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S>, "Ask<S>7592</S> what I shall give you<S>5414</S>."


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> said<S>559</S>, "You have shown<S>6213</S> to your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> great<S>1419</S> loving kindness<S>2617</S>, according as he walked<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you in truth<S>571</S>, and in righteousness<S>6666</S>, and in uprightness<S>3483</S> of heart<S>3824</S> with you<S>8104</S>. You have kept for him this great<S>1419</S> loving kindness<S>2617</S>, that you have given<S>5414</S> him a son<S>1121</S> to sit<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now<S>3068</S>, Yahweh my God<S>430</S>, you have made your servant<S>5650</S> king<S>4427</S> instead of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>. I am but a little<S>6996</S> child<S>5288</S>. I don<S>3045</S>'t know how to go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S>.


text:
Your servant<S>5650</S> is in the midst<S>8432</S> of your people<S>5971</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, a great<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S>, that can<S>4487</S>'t be numbered nor counted<S>5608</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
Give<S>5414</S> your servant<S>5650</S> therefore an understanding<S>8085</S> heart<S>3820</S> to judge<S>8199</S> your people<S>5971</S>, that I may discern<S>995</S> between good<S>2896</S> and evil<S>7451</S>; for who is able<S>3201</S> to judge<S>8199</S> this your great<S>3515</S> people<S>5971</S>?"


text:
The speech<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3190</S> the Lord<S>136</S>, that Solomon<S>8010</S> had asked<S>7592</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Because you have asked this thing<S>1697</S>, and have not asked<S>7592</S> for yourself long<S>7227</S> life<S>3117</S>, neither have asked<S>7592</S> riches<S>6239</S> for yourself<S>7592</S>, nor have asked the life<S>5315</S> of your enemies<S>341</S>, but have asked<S>7592</S> for yourself understanding<S>995</S> to discern<S>8085</S> justice<S>4941</S>;


text:
behold<S>6213</S>, I have done according to your word<S>1697</S>. Behold<S>5414</S>, I have given you a wise<S>2450</S> and an understanding<S>995</S> heart<S>3820</S>; so that there has been none like you before<S>6440</S> you<S>310</S>, neither after you shall any arise like you<S>6965</S>.


text:
I have also given<S>5414</S> you that which you have not asked<S>7592</S>, both riches<S>6239</S> and honor<S>3519</S>, so that there shall not be any<S>376</S> among the kings<S>4428</S> like you<S>3117</S>, all your days.


text:
If you will walk<S>3212</S> in my ways<S>1870</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> my statutes<S>2706</S> and my commandments<S>4687</S>, as your father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S> walked<S>1980</S>, then I will lengthen<S>748</S> your days<S>3117</S>."


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> awoke<S>3364</S>; and behold<S>2472</S>, it was a dream. Then he came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and offered up<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, offered<S>6213</S> peace offerings<S>5930</S>, and made<S>6213</S> a feast<S>4960</S> to all his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
Then two<S>8147</S> women<S>802</S> who were prostitutes<S>2181</S> came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
The one<S>259</S> woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, "Oh<S>994</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, I and this woman<S>802</S> dwell<S>3427</S> in one<S>259</S> house<S>1004</S>. I delivered a child<S>3205</S> with her in the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
It happened the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S> after I delivered<S>3205</S>, that this woman<S>802</S> delivered<S>3205</S> also<S>3162</S>. We were together. There was no stranger<S>2114</S> with us in the house<S>1004</S>, just<S>2108</S> us two<S>8147</S> in the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
This woman<S>802</S>'s child<S>1121</S> died<S>4191</S> in the night<S>3915</S>, because she lay on it<S>7901</S>.


text:
She arose<S>6965</S> at midnight<S>8432</S>, and took<S>3947</S> my son<S>1121</S> from beside<S>681</S> me<S>519</S>, while your handmaid slept<S>3463</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> it in her bosom<S>2436</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> her dead<S>4191</S> child<S>1121</S> in my bosom<S>2436</S>.


text:
When I rose<S>6965</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> to nurse<S>3243</S> my child<S>1121</S>, behold<S>4191</S>, it was dead; but when I had looked<S>995</S> at it in the morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>1121</S>, it was not my son, whom I bore<S>3205</S>."


text:
The other<S>312</S> woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, "No<S>2416</S>; but the living is my son<S>1121</S>, and the dead<S>4191</S> is your son<S>1121</S>." This said<S>559</S>, "No<S>4191</S>; but the dead is your son<S>1121</S>, and the living<S>2416</S> is my son<S>1121</S>." Thus they spoke<S>1696</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "The one<S>2063</S> says<S>559</S>, <S>1121</S> 'This is my son who lives<S>2416</S>, and your son<S>1121</S> is the dead<S>4191</S>;' and the other<S>2063</S> says<S>559</S>, <S>1121</S> 'No; but your son is the dead<S>4191</S> one<S>1121</S>, and my son is the living one<S>2416</S>.'"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Get<S>3947</S> me a sword<S>2719</S>." They brought<S>3947</S> a sword<S>2719</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Divide<S>1504</S> the living<S>2416</S> child<S>3206</S> in two<S>8147</S>, and give<S>5414</S> half<S>2677</S> to the one<S>259</S>, and half<S>2677</S> to the other<S>259</S>."


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> whose the living<S>2416</S> child<S>1121</S> was spoke<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, for her heart<S>7356</S> yearned<S>3648</S> over her son<S>1121</S>, and she said<S>559</S>, "Oh<S>994</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, give<S>5414</S> her the living<S>2416</S> child<S>3205</S>, and in no way<S>4191</S> kill<S>4191</S> it<S>559</S>!" But the other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours<S>1504</S>. Divide it."

Then the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Give<S>5414</S> her the living<S>2416</S> child<S>3205</S>, and in no way<S>4191</S> kill<S>4191</S> it<S>517</S>. She is its mother."


text:
All Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> of the judgment<S>4941</S> which the king<S>4428</S> had judged<S>8199</S>; and they feared<S>3372</S> the king<S>4428</S>: for they saw<S>7200</S> that the wisdom<S>2451</S> of God<S>430</S> was in him<S>7130</S>, to do<S>6213</S> justice<S>4941</S>.

Hiram<S>2438</S> king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> sent<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>; for he had heard<S>8085</S> that they had anointed<S>4886</S> him king<S>4428</S> in the place of his father<S>1</S>: for Hiram<S>2438</S> was ever<S>3117</S> a lover<S>157</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
"You know<S>3045</S> how that David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> could<S>3201</S> not build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> for<S>6440</S> the wars<S>4421</S> which were about him on every side<S>5437</S>, until Yahweh<S>3068</S> put<S>5414</S> them under the soles<S>3709</S> of his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
But now Yahweh<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S> has given me rest<S>5117</S> on every side<S>5439</S>. There is neither adversary<S>7854</S>, nor evil<S>7451</S> occurrence<S>6294</S>.

Behold<S>559</S>, I purpose to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>1121</S> 'Your son, whom I will set<S>5414</S> on your throne<S>3678</S> in your place<S>1129</S>, he shall build the house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>.'


text:
Now therefore command<S>6680</S> that they cut<S>3772</S> me cedar trees<S>730</S> out of Lebanon<S>3844</S>. My servants<S>5650</S> shall be with your servants<S>5650</S>; and I will give<S>5414</S> you wages<S>7939</S> for your servants<S>5650</S> according to all that you shall say<S>559</S>.

text:
It happened<S>2438</S>, when Hiram heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, that he rejoiced<S>8055</S> greatly<S>3966</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Blessed<S>1288</S> is Yahweh<S>3068</S> this day<S>3117</S>, who has given<S>5414</S> to David<S>1732</S> a wise<S>2450</S> son<S>1121</S> over this great<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S>."

Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "I have heard<S>8085</S> the message which you have sent<S>7971</S> to me<S>6213</S>. I will do all your desire<S>2656</S> concerning timber<S>6086</S> of cedar<S>730</S>, and concerning timber<S>6086</S> of fir<S>1265</S>.


text:
My servants<S>5650</S> shall bring them down<S>3381</S> from Lebanon<S>3844</S> to the sea<S>3220</S>. I will make<S>7760</S> them into rafts<S>1702</S> to go by sea<S>3220</S> to the place<S>4725</S> that you shall appoint<S>7971</S> me<S>5310</S>, and will cause them to be broken up there<S>5375</S>, and you shall receive them<S>6213</S>. You shall accomplish my desire<S>2656</S>, in giving<S>5414</S> food<S>3899</S> for my household<S>1004</S>."


text:
So Hiram<S>2438</S> gave<S>5414</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> timber<S>6086</S> of cedar<S>730</S> and timber<S>6086</S> of fir<S>1265</S> according to all his desire<S>2656</S>.

Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> measures<S>3734</S> of wheat<S>2406</S> for food<S>4361</S> to his household<S>1004</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> measures<S>3734</S> of pure<S>3795</S> oil<S>8081</S>. Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> this to Hiram<S>2438</S> year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> gave<S>5414</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, as he promised<S>1696</S> him<S>7965</S>; and there was peace between Hiram<S>2438</S> and Solomon<S>8010</S>; and they two<S>8147</S> made<S>3772</S> a treaty<S>1285</S> together<S>8147</S>.

King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> raised<S>5927</S> a levy<S>4522</S> out of all Israel<S>3478</S>; and the levy<S>4522</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.

The king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, and they cut<S>1496</S> out great<S>1419</S> stones<S>68</S>, costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, to lay the foundation<S>3245</S> of the house<S>1004</S> with worked<S>1496</S> stone<S>68</S>.

Solomon<S>8010</S>'s builders<S>1129</S> and Hiram<S>2438</S>'s builders<S>1129</S> and the Gebalites<S>1382</S> cut<S>6458</S> them<S>3559</S>, and prepared the timber<S>6086</S> and the stones<S>68</S> to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
It happened in the four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and eightieth<S>8084</S> year<S>8141</S> after the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had come out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, in the fourth<S>7243</S> year<S>8141</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>'s reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, in the month<S>2320</S> Ziv<S>2099</S>, which is the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>, that he began to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

The house<S>1004</S> which king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> for Yahweh<S>3068</S>, its length<S>753</S> was sixty<S>8346</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and its breadth<S>7341</S> twenty<S>6242</S>, and its height<S>6967</S> thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S>.

text:
For the house<S>1004</S> he made<S>6213</S> windows<S>2474</S> of fixed<S>331</S> lattice work<S>8261</S>.


text:
Against the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> he built<S>1129</S> stories<S>3326</S> all around<S>5439</S>, against the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> all around<S>5439</S>, both of the temple<S>1964</S> and of the oracle<S>1687</S>; and he made<S>6213</S> side rooms<S>6763</S> all around<S>5439</S>.


text:
The nethermost<S>8481</S> story<S>3326</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>, and the middle<S>8484</S> was six<S>8337</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>, and the third<S>7992</S> was seven<S>7651</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>; for on the outside he made<S>5414</S> offsets<S>4052</S> in the wall of<S>2351</S> the house<S>1004</S> all around<S>5439</S>, that the beams should not have hold<S>270</S> in the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.

The house<S>1004</S>, when it was in building<S>1129</S>, was built<S>1129</S> of stone<S>68</S> prepared<S>8003</S> at the quarry<S>4551</S>; and there was neither hammer<S>4717</S> nor axe<S>1631</S> nor any tool<S>3627</S> of iron<S>1270</S> heard<S>8085</S> in the house<S>1004</S>, while it was in building<S>1129</S>.

The door<S>6607</S> for the middle<S>8484</S> side rooms<S>6763</S> was in the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and they went up<S>5927</S> by winding stairs<S>3883</S> into the middle<S>8484</S> story<S>8484</S>, and out of the middle into the third<S>7992</S>.

So he built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>, and finished<S>3615</S> it<S>5603</S>; and he covered the house<S>1004</S> with beams<S>1356</S> and planks<S>7713</S> of cedar<S>730</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> the stories<S>3326</S> against all the house<S>1004</S>, each five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>: and they rested<S>270</S> on the house<S>1004</S> with timber<S>6086</S> of cedar<S>730</S>.


text:
"Concerning this house<S>1004</S> which you are building<S>1129</S>, if you will walk<S>3212</S> in my statutes<S>2708</S>, and execute<S>6213</S> my ordinances<S>4941</S>, and keep<S>8104</S> all my commandments<S>4687</S> to walk<S>3212</S> in them<S>6965</S>; then will I establish my word<S>1697</S> with you<S>1696</S>, which I spoke to David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>.


text:
I will dwell<S>7931</S> among<S>8432</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and will not forsake<S>5800</S> my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
He built<S>1129</S> the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> within<S>1004</S> with boards<S>6763</S> of cedar<S>730</S>: from the floor<S>7172</S> of the house<S>1004</S> to the walls<S>7023</S> of the ceiling<S>5604</S>, he covered<S>6823</S> them on the inside<S>1004</S> with wood<S>6086</S>; and he covered<S>6823</S> the floor<S>7172</S> of the house<S>1004</S> with boards<S>6763</S> of fir<S>1265</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> on the hinder<S>3411</S> part of the house<S>1004</S> with<S>4480</S> boards<S>6763</S> of cedar<S>730</S> from the floor<S>7172</S> to<S>7023</S> the ceiling<S>1129</S>: he built them for it within<S>1004</S>, for an oracle<S>1687</S>, even for the most<S>6944</S> holy place<S>6944</S>.


text:
In front<S>3942</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> sanctuary<S>1004</S> was forty<S>705</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
There was cedar<S>730</S> on the house<S>1004</S> within<S>6441</S>, carved<S>4734</S> with buds<S>6497</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>: all was cedar<S>730</S>; there was no stone<S>68</S> seen<S>7200</S>.


text:
He prepared<S>3559</S> an oracle<S>1687</S> in<S>8432</S> the midst of the house<S>1004</S> within<S>6441</S>, to set<S>5414</S> there the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Within<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> in length<S>753</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> in breadth<S>7341</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> in its height<S>6967</S>; and he overlaid<S>6823</S> it with pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: and he covered<S>6823</S> the altar<S>4196</S> with cedar<S>730</S>.


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> overlaid<S>6823</S> the house<S>1004</S> within<S>6441</S> with pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: and he drew<S>5674</S> chains<S>7572</S> of gold<S>2091</S> across before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>; and he overlaid<S>6823</S> it with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
The whole house<S>1004</S> he overlaid<S>6823</S> with gold<S>2091</S>, until all the house<S>1004</S> was finished<S>8552</S>: also the whole altar<S>4196</S> that belonged to the oracle<S>1687</S> he overlaid<S>6823</S> with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
In the oracle<S>1687</S> he made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> cherubim<S>3742</S> of olive<S>8081</S> wood<S>6086</S>, each ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>.


text:
Five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> was the one<S>259</S> wing<S>3671</S> of the cherub<S>3742</S>, and five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> the other<S>8145</S> wing<S>3671</S> of the cherub<S>3742</S>: from the uttermost part<S>7098</S> of the one wing<S>3671</S> to the uttermost part<S>7098</S> of the other<S>3671</S> were ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
The other<S>8145</S> cherub<S>3742</S> was ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>: both<S>8147</S> the cherubim<S>3742</S> were of one<S>259</S> measure<S>4060</S> and one<S>259</S> form<S>7095</S>.


text:
The height<S>6967</S> of the one<S>259</S> cherub<S>3742</S> was ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and so was it of the other<S>8145</S> cherub<S>3742</S>.


text:
He set<S>5414</S> the cherubim<S>3742</S> within<S>8432</S> the inner<S>6442</S> house<S>1004</S>; and the wings<S>3671</S> of the cherubim<S>3742</S> were stretched forth<S>6566</S>, so that the wing<S>3671</S> of the one<S>259</S> touched<S>5060</S> the one wall<S>7023</S>, and the wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>8145</S> cherub<S>3742</S> touched<S>5060</S> the other<S>8145</S> wall<S>7023</S>; and their wings<S>3671</S> touched<S>5060</S> one<S>3671</S> another<S>3671</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
He carved<S>7049</S> all the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> around<S>4524</S> with carved<S>6603</S> figures<S>4734</S> of cherubim<S>3742</S> and palm trees<S>8561</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>, inside<S>6441</S> and outside<S>2435</S>.


text:
The floor<S>7172</S> of the house<S>1004</S> he overlaid<S>6823</S> with gold<S>2091</S>, inside<S>6441</S> and outside<S>2435</S>.


text:
For the entrance<S>6607</S> of the oracle<S>1687</S> he made<S>6213</S> doors<S>1817</S> of olive<S>8081</S> wood<S>6086</S>: the lintel<S>352</S> and door posts<S>4201</S> were a fifth part of the wall<S>2549</S>.


text:
So he made two<S>8147</S> doors<S>1817</S> of olive<S>8081</S> wood<S>6086</S>; and he carved<S>7049</S> on them carvings<S>4734</S> of cherubim<S>3742</S> and palm trees<S>8561</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> them with gold<S>2091</S>; and he spread<S>7286</S> the gold<S>2091</S> on the cherubim<S>3742</S>, and on the palm trees<S>8561</S>.


text:
So also made<S>6213</S> he for the entrance<S>6607</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> door posts<S>4201</S> of olive<S>8081</S> wood<S>6086</S>, out of a fourth part of the wall<S>7243</S>;


text:
and two<S>8147</S> doors<S>1817</S> of fir<S>1265</S> wood<S>6086</S>: the two<S>8147</S> leaves<S>6763</S> of the one<S>259</S> door<S>1817</S> were folding<S>1550</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> leaves<S>7050</S> of the other<S>8145</S> door<S>1817</S> were folding<S>1550</S>.


text:
He carved<S>7049</S> cherubim<S>3742</S> and palm trees<S>8561</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>; and he overlaid<S>6823</S> them with gold<S>2091</S> fitted<S>3474</S> on the engraved work<S>2707</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S> with three<S>7969</S> courses<S>2905</S> of cut stone<S>1496</S>, and a course<S>2905</S> of cedar<S>730</S> beams<S>3773</S>.


text:
In the fourth<S>7243</S> year<S>8141</S> was the foundation<S>3245</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> laid<S>3245</S>, in the month<S>3391</S> Ziv<S>2099</S>.


text:
In the eleventh<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S>, in the month<S>3391</S> Bul<S>945</S>, which is the eighth<S>8066</S> month<S>3391</S>, was the house<S>1004</S> finished<S>3615</S> throughout all its parts<S>1697</S>, and according to all its fashion<S>4941</S>. So was he seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in building it<S>1129</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> was building<S>1129</S> his own house<S>1004</S> thirteen<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, and he finished<S>3615</S> all his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
For he built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>; its length<S>753</S> was one hundred<S>3967</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and its breadth<S>7341</S> fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and its height<S>6967</S> thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S>, on four<S>702</S> rows<S>2905</S> of cedar<S>730</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, with cedar<S>730</S> beams<S>3773</S> on the pillars<S>5982</S>.


text:
It was covered<S>5603</S> with cedar<S>730</S> above<S>4605</S> over the forty<S>705</S> - five<S>2568</S> beams<S>6763</S>, that were on the pillars<S>5982</S>; fifteen<S>6240</S> in a row<S>2905</S>.

There were beams<S>8261</S> in three<S>7969</S> rows<S>2905</S>, and window<S>4237</S> was over against window<S>4237</S> in three<S>7969</S> ranks<S>6471</S>.

All the doors<S>6607</S> and posts<S>4201</S> were made square<S>7251</S> with beams<S>8260</S>: and window<S>4237</S> was over against<S>4136</S> window<S>4237</S> in three<S>7969</S> ranks<S>6471</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> the porch<S>197</S> of pillars<S>5982</S>; its length<S>753</S> was fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and its breadth<S>7341</S> thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S>; and a porch<S>197</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>5982</S>; and pillars and a threshold before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> the porch<S>197</S> of the throne<S>3678</S> where he was to judge<S>8199</S>, even the porch<S>197</S> of judgment<S>4941</S>: and it was covered<S>5603</S> with cedar<S>730</S> from floor<S>7172</S> to floor<S>7172</S>.


text:
His house<S>1004</S> where he was to dwell<S>3427</S>, the other<S>312</S> court<S>2691</S> within<S>1004</S> the porch<S>197</S>, was of the like work<S>4639</S>. He<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> also a house<S>1004</S> for Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S> (whom Solomon had taken<S>3947</S> as wife<S>197</S>), like this porch.


text:
All these were of costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, even of cut stone<S>1496</S>, according to measure<S>4060</S>, sawed<S>1641</S> with saws<S>4050</S>, inside<S>1004</S> and outside<S>2351</S>, even from the foundation<S>4527</S> to the coping<S>2947</S>, and so on the outside<S>2351</S> to the great<S>1419</S> court<S>2691</S>.

The foundation<S>3245</S> was of costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, even great<S>1419</S> stones<S>68</S>, stones<S>68</S> of ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and stones<S>68</S> of eight<S>8083</S> cubits<S>520</S>.

text:
The great<S>1419</S> court<S>2691</S> around<S>5439</S> had three<S>7969</S> courses<S>2905</S> of cut stone<S>1496</S>, and a course<S>2905</S> of cedar<S>730</S> beams<S>3773</S>; like as the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the porch<S>197</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> and fetched<S>3947</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> out of Tyre<S>6865</S>.


text:
He was the son<S>1121</S> of a widow<S>802</S> of the tribe<S>4294</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>, and his father<S>1</S> was a man<S>376</S> of Tyre<S>6876</S>, a worker<S>2790</S> in brass<S>5178</S>; and he was filled<S>4390</S> with wisdom<S>2451</S> and understanding<S>8394</S> and skill<S>1847</S>, to work<S>6213</S> all works<S>6213</S> in brass<S>5178</S>. He came<S>935</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, and performed<S>6213</S> all his work<S>4399</S>.


text:
For he fashioned<S>6696</S> the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, eighteen<S>8083</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S> apiece<S>5982</S>: and a line<S>2339</S> of twelve<S>8147</S> cubits<S>520</S> encircled<S>5437</S> either<S>8145</S> of them about<S>5437</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> capitals<S>3805</S> of molten<S>3332</S> brass<S>5178</S>, to set<S>5414</S> on the tops<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>: the height<S>6967</S> of the one<S>259</S> capital<S>3805</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the height<S>6967</S> of the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
There were nets<S>7638</S> of checker<S>7639</S> work<S>4639</S>, and wreaths<S>1434</S> of chain<S>8333</S> work<S>4639</S>, for the capitals<S>3805</S> which were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>; seven<S>7651</S> for the one<S>259</S> capital<S>3805</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> for the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S>.


text:
So he made<S>6213</S> the pillars<S>5982</S>; and there were two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> around<S>5439</S> on the one<S>259</S> network<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>7416</S>: and he did<S>6213</S> so for the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S>.


text:
The capitals<S>3805</S> that were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S> in the porch<S>197</S> were of lily<S>7799</S> work<S>4639</S>, four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
There were capitals<S>3805</S> above also on<S>4605</S> the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, close by<S>5980</S> the belly<S>990</S> which was beside<S>5676</S> the network<S>7639</S>: and the pomegranates<S>7416</S> were two hundred<S>3967</S>, in rows<S>2905</S> around<S>5439</S> on the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S>.


text:
He set up<S>6965</S> the pillars<S>5982</S> at the porch<S>197</S> of the temple<S>1964</S>: and he set up<S>6965</S> the right<S>3233</S> pillar<S>5982</S>, and called<S>7121</S> its name<S>8034</S> Jachin<S>3199</S>; and he set up<S>6965</S> the left<S>8042</S> pillar<S>5982</S>, and called<S>7121</S> its name<S>8034</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
On the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S> was lily<S>7799</S> work<S>4639</S>: so was the work<S>4639</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S> finished<S>8552</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> the molten<S>3332</S> sea<S>3220</S> of ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> from brim<S>8193</S> to brim<S>8193</S>, round<S>5696</S> in compass<S>5439</S>, and its height<S>6967</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>; and a line<S>6957</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S> encircled<S>5437</S> it<S>5439</S>.


text:
Under its brim<S>8193</S> around<S>5439</S> there were buds<S>6497</S> which encircled<S>5437</S> it<S>6235</S>, for ten cubits<S>520</S>, encircling<S>5437</S> the<S>5439</S> sea<S>3220</S>: the buds<S>6497</S> were in two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S>, cast<S>3333</S> when it was cast<S>3333</S>.


text:
It stood<S>5975</S> on twelve<S>8147</S> oxen<S>1241</S>, three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the north<S>6828</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the west<S>3220</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the south<S>5045</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the east<S>4217</S>; and the sea<S>3220</S> was set on them above<S>4605</S>, and all their hinder parts<S>268</S> were inward<S>1004</S>.


text:
It was a handbreadth<S>2947</S> thick<S>5672</S>: and its brim<S>8193</S> was worked<S>4639</S> like the brim<S>8193</S> of a cup<S>3563</S>, like the flower<S>6525</S> of a lily<S>7799</S>: it held<S>3557</S> two thousand<S>505</S> baths<S>1324</S>.

He made<S>6213</S> the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S> of brass<S>5178</S>; four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S> was the length<S>753</S> of one<S>259</S> base<S>4350</S>, and four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S> its breadth<S>7341</S>, and three<S>7969</S> cubits<S>520</S> its height<S>6967</S>.


text:
The work<S>4639</S> of the bases<S>4350</S> was like this<S>4526</S>: they had panels; and there were panels<S>4526</S> between the ledges<S>7948</S>;


text:
and on the panels<S>4526</S> that were between the ledges<S>7948</S> were lions<S>738</S>, oxen<S>1241</S>, and cherubim<S>3742</S>; and on the ledges<S>7948</S> there was a pedestal<S>3653</S> above<S>4605</S>; and beneath the lions<S>738</S> and oxen<S>1241</S> were wreaths<S>3914</S> of hanging<S>4174</S> work<S>4639</S>.


text:
Every<S>259</S> base<S>4350</S> had four<S>702</S> bronze<S>5178</S> wheels<S>212</S>, and axles<S>5633</S> of brass<S>5178</S>; and the four<S>702</S> feet<S>6471</S> of it had supports<S>3802</S>: beneath the basin<S>3595</S> were the supports<S>3802</S> molten<S>3332</S>, with wreaths<S>3914</S> at the side<S>5676</S> of each<S>376</S>.


text:
The mouth<S>6310</S> of it within<S>1004</S> the capital<S>3805</S> and above<S>4605</S> was a cubit<S>520</S>: and its mouth<S>6310</S> was round<S>5696</S> after the work<S>4639</S> of a pedestal<S>3653</S>, a cubit<S>520</S> and a half<S>2677</S>; and also on its mouth<S>6310</S> were engravings<S>4526</S>, and their panels were foursquare<S>7251</S>, not round<S>5696</S>.


text:
The four<S>702</S> wheels<S>212</S> were underneath<S>8478</S> the panels<S>4526</S>; and the axles<S>3027</S> of the wheels<S>212</S> were in the base<S>4350</S>: and the height<S>6967</S> of a<S>259</S> wheel<S>212</S> was a cubit<S>520</S> and half<S>2677</S> a cubit<S>520</S>.


text:
The work<S>4639</S> of the wheels<S>212</S> was like the work<S>4639</S> of a chariot<S>4818</S> wheel<S>212</S>: their axles<S>3027</S>, and their rims<S>1354</S>, and their spokes<S>2840</S>, and their naves<S>1354</S>, were all molten<S>3332</S>.


text:
There were four<S>702</S> supports<S>3802</S> at the four<S>702</S> corners<S>6438</S> of each<S>259</S> base<S>4350</S>: its supports<S>3802</S> were of the base itself<S>4350</S>.


text:
In the top<S>7218</S> of the base<S>4350</S> was there a round<S>5696</S> compass<S>5439</S> half<S>2677</S> a cubit<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>; and on the top<S>7218</S> of the base<S>4350</S> its stays<S>3027</S> and its panels were of the same<S>4526</S>.


text:
On the plates<S>3871</S> of its stays<S>3027</S>, and on its panels<S>4526</S>, he engraved<S>6605</S> cherubim<S>3742</S>, lions<S>738</S>, and palm trees<S>8561</S>, according to the space<S>4626</S> of each<S>376</S>, with wreaths<S>3914</S> all around<S>5439</S>.


text:
In this way<S>6213</S>, he made the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S>: all of them had one<S>259</S> casting<S>4165</S>, one<S>259</S> measure<S>4060</S>, and one<S>259</S> form<S>7095</S>.


text:
He made<S>6213</S> ten<S>6235</S> basins of brass<S>5178</S>: one<S>259</S> basin<S>3595</S> contained<S>3557</S> forty<S>705</S> baths<S>1324</S>; and every<S>259</S> basin<S>3595</S> was four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S>; and on every<S>259</S> one<S>259</S> of the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S> one<S>259</S> basin<S>3595</S>.


text:
He set<S>5414</S> the bases<S>4350</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right<S>3225</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and he set<S>5414</S> the sea<S>3220</S> on the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S> eastward<S>6924</S>, toward<S>4136</S> the south<S>5045</S>.


text:
Hiram<S>2438</S> made<S>6213</S> the basins<S>3595</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>. So Hiram<S>2438</S> made<S>3615</S> an end of doing<S>6213</S> all the work<S>4399</S> that he worked<S>6213</S> for king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>:


text:
the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, and the two bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on the top<S>7218</S> of the<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>; and the two<S>8147</S> networks<S>7639</S> to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>;


text:
and the four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> pomegranates<S>7416</S> for the two<S>8147</S> networks<S>7639</S>; two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> of pomegranates<S>7416</S> for each<S>259</S> network<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on<S>6440</S> the pillars<S>5982</S>;


text:
and the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S>, and the ten<S>6235</S> basins<S>3595</S> on the bases<S>4350</S>;


text:
and the one<S>259</S> sea<S>3220</S>, and the twelve<S>8147</S> oxen<S>1241</S> under the sea<S>3220</S>;


text:
and the pots<S>5518</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>: even all these vessels<S>3627</S>, which Hiram<S>2438</S> made<S>6213</S> for king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, were of burnished<S>4178</S> brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> cast<S>3332</S> them in the plain<S>3603</S> of the Jordan<S>3383</S>, in the clay<S>4568</S> ground<S>127</S> between Succoth<S>5523</S> and Zarethan<S>6891</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> left<S>3240</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> unweighed<S>3966</S>, because they were exceeding many<S>7230</S>: the weight<S>4948</S> of the brass<S>5178</S> could not be found out<S>2713</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> that were in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>: the golden<S>2091</S> altar<S>4196</S>, and the table<S>7979</S> whereupon the show bread<S>3899</S> was<S>2091</S>, of gold;


text:
and the lampstands<S>4501</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right<S>3225</S> side<S>2568</S>, and five on the left<S>8040</S>, before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>, of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>; and the flowers<S>6525</S>, and the lamps<S>5216</S>, and the tongs<S>4457</S>, of gold<S>2091</S>;


text:
and the cups<S>5592</S>, and the snuffers<S>4212</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>, and the spoons<S>3709</S>, and the fire pans<S>4289</S>, of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>; and the hinges<S>6596</S>, both for the doors<S>1817</S> of the inner<S>6442</S> house<S>1004</S>, the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>1817</S>, and for the doors of the house<S>1004</S>, of the temple<S>1964</S>, of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
Thus all the work<S>4399</S> that king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> worked<S>6213</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was finished<S>7999</S>. Solomon<S>8010</S> brought in<S>935</S> the things which David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S>, and put<S>5414</S> them in the treasuries<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> assembled<S>6950</S> the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and all the heads<S>7218</S> of the tribes<S>4294</S>, the princes<S>5387</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' households of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to bring up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, which is Zion<S>6726</S>.


text:
All the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> assembled<S>6950</S> themselves to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> at the feast<S>2282</S>, in the month<S>3391</S> Ethanim<S>388</S>, which is the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>3391</S>.


text:
All the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> took up<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S>.


text:
They brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the Tent<S>168</S> of Meeting<S>4150</S>, and all the holy<S>6944</S> vessels<S>3627</S> that were in the Tent<S>168</S>; even these the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> brought up<S>5927</S>.


text:
King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> and all the congregation<S>5712</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who were assembled<S>3259</S> to him<S>6440</S>, were with him before the ark<S>727</S>, sacrificing<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and cattle<S>1241</S>, that could not be counted<S>5608</S> nor numbered<S>4487</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
The priests<S>3548</S> brought in<S>935</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> to its place<S>4725</S>, into the oracle<S>1687</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, to the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>3671</S>, even under the wings of the cherubim<S>3742</S>.


text:
For the cherubim<S>3742</S> spread forth<S>6566</S> their wings<S>3671</S> over the place<S>4725</S> of the ark<S>727</S>, and the cherubim<S>3742</S> covered<S>5526</S> the ark<S>727</S> and its poles<S>905</S> above<S>4605</S>.


text:
The poles<S>905</S> were so long<S>748</S> that the ends<S>7218</S> of the poles<S>905</S> were seen from<S>7200</S> the holy<S>6944</S> place before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>; but they were not seen<S>7200</S> outside<S>2351</S>: and there they are to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
There was nothing in the ark<S>727</S> except<S>7535</S> the two<S>8147</S> tables<S>3871</S> of stone<S>68</S> which Moses<S>4872</S> put<S>3240</S> there at Horeb<S>2722</S>, when Yahweh<S>3068</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
It came to pass<S>3548</S>, when the priests had come out<S>3318</S> of the holy<S>6944</S> place<S>6051</S>, that the cloud filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>,


text:
so that the priests<S>3548</S> could<S>3201</S> not stand<S>5975</S> to minister<S>8334</S> by reason<S>6440</S> of the cloud<S>6051</S>; for the glory<S>3519</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> has said<S>559</S> that he would dwell<S>7931</S> in the thick darkness<S>6205</S>.


text:
I have surely<S>1129</S> built<S>1129</S> you a house<S>1004</S> of habitation<S>2073</S>, a place<S>4349</S> for you to dwell in<S>2073</S> forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> turned<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S> about<S>5437</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stood<S>5975</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Blessed<S>1288</S> is Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who spoke<S>1696</S> with his mouth<S>6310</S> to David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, and has with his hand<S>3027</S> fulfilled<S>4390</S> it<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
<S>3117</S> 'Since the day that I brought my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out<S>3318</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, I chose<S>977</S> no city<S>5892</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S>, that my name<S>8034</S> might be there<S>977</S>; but I chose David<S>1732</S> to be over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.'


text:
"Now it was in the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, <S>3282</S> 'Whereas it was in your heart<S>3824</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, you did well<S>2895</S> that it was in your heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>7535</S>, you shall not build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>; but your son<S>1121</S> who shall come forth out<S>3318</S> of your body<S>2504</S>, he shall build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> for my name<S>8034</S>.'


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> has established<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> that he spoke<S>1696</S>; for I have risen up<S>6965</S> in the place of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and I sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> promised<S>1696</S>, and have built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
There I have set<S>7760</S> a place<S>4725</S> for the ark<S>727</S>, in which is the covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he made<S>3772</S> with our fathers<S>1</S>, when he brought them out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>."


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> in the presence of<S>5048</S> all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S>;


text:
and he said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, there is no God<S>430</S> like you<S>8064</S>, in heaven above<S>4605</S>, or on earth<S>776</S> beneath<S>8104</S>; who keep covenant<S>1285</S> and loving kindness<S>2617</S> with your servants<S>5650</S>, who walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you with all their heart<S>3820</S>;


text:
who have kept<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that which you promised<S>1696</S> him<S>1696</S>. Yes, you spoke with your mouth<S>6310</S>, and have fulfilled<S>4390</S> it with your hand<S>3027</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, may Yahweh, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, keep<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that which you have promised<S>1696</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, <S>3772</S> 'There shall not fail you a man<S>376</S> in my sight<S>6440</S> to sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, if<S>7535</S> only your children<S>1121</S> take heed<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me as you have walked<S>1980</S> before me<S>6440</S>.'


text:
"Now therefore<S>430</S>, God of Israel<S>3478</S>, please let your word<S>1697</S> be verified<S>539</S>, which you spoke<S>1696</S> to your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>.


text:

The king<S>4428</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>2076</S>, offered sacrifice<S>2077</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

So the king<S>4428</S> and all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> dedicated<S>2596</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.

The same day<S>3117</S> the king<S>4428</S> made the middle<S>8432</S> of the court<S>2691</S> holy<S>6942</S> that was before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for there he offered<S>6213</S> the burnt offering<S>6213</S>, and the meal offering<S>6213</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>, because the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> that was before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> was too little<S>6996</S> to receive<S>3557</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, and the meal offering<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>.

So Solomon<S>8010</S> held<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> at that time<S>6256</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>1419</S>, a great assembly<S>6951</S>, from the entrance<S>935</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> and seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, even fourteen<S>702</S> days<S>3117</S>.

On the eighth<S>8066</S> day<S>3117</S> he sent<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>; and they blessed<S>1288</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to their tents<S>168</S> joyful<S>8056</S> and glad<S>2896</S> of heart<S>3820</S> for all the goodness<S>2896</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> had shown<S>6213</S> to David<S>1732</S> his servant<S>5650</S>, and to Israel<S>3478</S> his people<S>5971</S>.

It happened<S>8010</S>, when Solomon had finished<S>3615</S> the building<S>1129</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and all Solomon<S>8010</S>'s desire<S>2837</S> which he was pleased<S>2654</S> to do<S>6213</S>,


text:
that Yahweh<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, as he had appeared<S>7200</S> to him at Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>8085</S>, "I have heard your prayer<S>8605</S> and your supplication<S>8467</S>, that you have made<S>2603</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>2603</S>. I have made this house<S>1004</S> holy<S>6942</S>, which you have built<S>1129</S>, to put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> there forever<S>5769</S>; and my eyes<S>5869</S> and my heart<S>3820</S> shall be there perpetually<S>3117</S>.

As for you<S>3212</S>, if you will walk before<S>6440</S> me<S>1732</S>, as David your father<S>1</S> walked<S>1980</S>, in integrity<S>8537</S> of heart<S>3824</S>, and in uprightness<S>3476</S>, to do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> you<S>8104</S>, and will keep my statutes<S>2706</S> and my ordinances<S>4941</S>;


text:
then I will establish<S>6965</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of your kingdom<S>4467</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> forever<S>5769</S>, according as I promised<S>1696</S> to David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3772</S> 'There shall not fail you a man<S>376</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.'


text:
But if you turn<S>7725</S> away<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>1121</S>, you or your children, and not keep<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S> which I have set<S>5414</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>1980</S>, but shall go and serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and worship them<S>7812</S>;


text:
then will I cut off<S>3772</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out<S>6440</S> of the land<S>127</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> them<S>1004</S>; and this house, which I have made holy<S>6942</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, will I cast out<S>7971</S> of my sight<S>6440</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> shall be a proverb<S>4912</S> and a byword<S>8148</S> among all peoples<S>5971</S>.


text:
Though this house<S>1004</S> is so high<S>5945</S>, yet shall everyone who passes<S>5674</S> by it be astonished<S>8074</S>, and shall hiss<S>8319</S>; and they shall say<S>559</S>, <S>3068</S> 'Why has Yahweh done<S>6213</S> thus to this land<S>776</S>, and to this house<S>1004</S>?'


text:
and they shall answer<S>559</S>, <S>5800</S> 'Because they forsook Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, who brought<S>3318</S> their fathers<S>1</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and laid hold<S>2388</S> of other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> them<S>5647</S>, and served them<S>3068</S>. Therefore Yahweh has brought<S>935</S> all this evil on them<S>7451</S>.'"

It happened at the end<S>7097</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>, in which Solomon<S>8010</S> had built<S>1129</S> the two<S>8147</S> houses<S>1004</S>, the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>

(now Hiram<S>2438</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> had furnished<S>5375</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> with cedar<S>730</S> trees<S>6086</S> and fir<S>1265</S> trees<S>6086</S>, and with gold<S>2091</S>, according to all his desire<S>2656</S>), that then<S>227</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cities<S>5892</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Galilee<S>1551</S>.

Hiram<S>2438</S> came out<S>3318</S> from Tyre<S>6865</S> to see<S>7200</S> the cities<S>5892</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had given<S>5414</S> him<S>3474</S>; and they didn't please him.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "What cities<S>5892</S> are these which you have given<S>5414</S> me<S>251</S>, my brother?" He called<S>7121</S> them the land<S>776</S> of Cabul<S>3521</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.

Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> one hundred twenty<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.

This is the reason<S>1697</S> of the levy<S>4522</S> which king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> raised<S>5927</S>, to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and his own house<S>1004</S>, and Millo<S>4407</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Hazor<S>2674</S>, and Megiddo<S>4023</S>, and Gezer<S>1507</S>.


text:
Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> had gone up<S>5927</S>, and taken<S>3920</S> Gezer<S>1507</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> who lived<S>3427</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, and given<S>5414</S> it for a portion<S>7964</S> to his daughter<S>1323</S>, Solomon<S>8010</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.

Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> Gezer<S>1507</S>, and Beth Horon<S>1032</S> the lower<S>8481</S>,

and all the storage<S>4543</S> cities<S>5892</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> had<S>5892</S>, and the cities for his chariots<S>7393</S>, and the cities<S>5892</S> for his horsemen<S>6571</S>, and that<S>2837</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> desired<S>2836</S> to build<S>1129</S> for his pleasure in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and in all the land<S>776</S> of his dominion<S>4475</S>.


text:
As for all the people<S>5971</S> who were left<S>3498</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, the Hittites<S>2850</S>, the Perizzites<S>6522</S>, the Hivites<S>2340</S>, and the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, who were not of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
their children<S>1121</S> who were left<S>3498</S> after<S>310</S> them in the land<S>776</S>, whom the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were not able<S>3201</S> utterly to destroy<S>2763</S>, of them Solomon<S>8010</S> raised<S>5927</S> a levy<S>4522</S> of bondservants<S>5647</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>5414</S> no bondservants<S>5650</S>; but they were the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and his captains<S>7991</S>, and rulers<S>8269</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S> and of his horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
These were the chief<S>8269</S> officers<S>5324</S> who were over Solomon<S>8010</S>'s work<S>4399</S>, five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> fifty<S>2572</S>, who bore rule<S>7287</S> over the people<S>5971</S> who labored<S>6213</S> in the work<S>4399</S>.


text:
But Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S> came up<S>5927</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> to her house<S>1004</S> which Solomon had built<S>1129</S> for her<S>1129</S>: then he built Millo<S>4407</S>.


text:
Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and peace offerings<S>8002</S> on the altar<S>4196</S> which he built<S>1129</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S> a year<S>8141</S>, burning incense<S>6999</S> with them<S>4196</S>, on the altar that was before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>. So he finished<S>7999</S> the house<S>1004</S>.

King<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> a navy of ships<S>590</S> in Ezion Geber<S>6100</S>, which is beside Eloth<S>359</S>, on the shore<S>8193</S> of the Red<S>5488</S> Sea<S>3220</S>, in the land<S>776</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.

Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> in the navy<S>590</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, sailors<S>582</S> who had knowledge<S>3045</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>, with the servants<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.

They came<S>935</S> to Ophir<S>211</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> from there gold<S>2091</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> talents<S>3603</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.

She who is in<S>1722</S> Babylon<S>897</S>, chosen together with<S>4899</S> you<S>5209</S>, greets<S>782</S> you<S>5209</S>; and<S>2532</S> so does Mark<S>3450</S>, my son<S>5207</S>.

text:
Now there was a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of Ramathaim Zophim<S>7436</S>, of the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and his name<S>8034</S> was 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 Ephraimite<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> was Hannah<S>2584</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of 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:
This<S>1931</S> man<S>376</S> went up<S>5927</S> out of his city<S>5892</S> from year to year<S>3117</S> to worship<S>7812</S> and to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>. The two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, priests<S>3548</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, were there.


text:
When the day<S>3117</S> came that Elkanah<S>511</S> sacrificed<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> double<S>639</S> portion<S>4490</S>; for he loved<S>157</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>, but Yahweh<S>3068</S> had shut up<S>5462</S> her womb<S>7358</S>.


text:
Her rival<S>6869</S> provoked<S>3707</S> her severely<S>3708</S>, to make her fret<S>7481</S>, because Yahweh<S>3068</S> had shut<S>5462</S> up<S>1157</S> her womb<S>7358</S>.


text:
As 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 Yahweh<S>3068</S>, so she provoked<S>3707</S> her<S>1058</S>; therefore she wept, and didn<S>398</S>'t eat.


text:
Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>2584</S>, "Hannah, why do you weep<S>1058</S>? Why don<S>398</S>'t you eat? Why is your heart<S>3824</S> grieved<S>3415</S>? Am I not better<S>2896</S> to you than ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S>?"


text:
So Hannah<S>2584</S> rose up<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> was sitting<S>3427</S> on his seat<S>3678</S> by the doorpost<S>4201</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
She was in bitterness<S>4751</S> of soul<S>5315</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> bitterly<S>1058</S>.


text:
She vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S>, if you will indeed<S>7200</S> look<S>7200</S> on the affliction<S>6040</S> of your handmaid<S>519</S>, and remember<S>2142</S> me<S>7911</S>, and not forget your handmaid<S>519</S>, but will give<S>5414</S> to your handmaid<S>519</S> a<S>582</S> boy<S>2233</S>, then I will give<S>5414</S> him to Yahweh<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, and no razor<S>4177</S> shall come<S>5927</S> on his head<S>7218</S>."


text:
It happened<S>7235</S>, as she continued praying<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that Eli<S>5941</S> saw<S>5941</S> her mouth<S>6310</S>.


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 had been drunken<S>7910</S>.


text:
Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>7937</S>, "How long will you be drunken? Put away<S>5493</S> your wine from you<S>3196</S>."


text:
Hannah<S>2584</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "No<S>113</S>, my lord, I am 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 I poured out<S>8210</S> my soul<S>5315</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Don<S>5414</S>'t count your handmaid<S>519</S> for<S>6440</S> a wicked<S>1100</S> woman<S>1323</S>; for I have been speaking<S>1696</S> out of the abundance<S>7230</S> of my complaint<S>7879</S> and my provocation<S>3708</S>."


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>; and may the God<S>3212</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> grant<S>5414</S> your petition<S>7596</S> that you have asked of him<S>7592</S>."


text:
She said<S>559</S>, "Let your handmaid<S>8198</S> find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your 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 facial expression wasn<S>6440</S>'t sad any more.


text:
They rose up<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> early<S>7925</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<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 Yahweh<S>3068</S> remembered her<S>2142</S>.


text:
It happened<S>3117</S>, when the time had come<S>8622</S>, that Hannah<S>2584</S> conceived<S>2029</S>, and bore<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>; and she named<S>7121</S> him<S>8034</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, saying<S>7592</S>, "Because I have asked him of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
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 Yahweh<S>3068</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2076</S>, and his vow<S>5088</S>.

But Hannah<S>2584</S> didn<S>5927</S>'t go up; for she said<S>559</S> to her husband<S>376</S>, "Not until the child<S>5288</S> is weaned<S>1580</S>; then I will bring<S>935</S> him<S>7200</S>, that he may appear before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and stay<S>3427</S> there<S>5704</S> forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>6213</S>, "Do what seems<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> to you<S>3427</S>. Wait until you have weaned<S>1580</S> him<S>3068</S>; only may Yahweh establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>." So the woman<S>802</S> waited<S>3427</S> and nursed<S>3243</S> her son<S>1121</S>, until she weaned him<S>1580</S>.


text:
When she had weaned<S>1580</S> him<S>5927</S>, she took him up with her<S>7969</S>, with three bulls<S>6499</S>, and one<S>259</S> ephah<S>374</S> of meal<S>7058</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him to Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s house<S>1004</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>. The child<S>5288</S> was young<S>5288</S>.


text:
They killed<S>7819</S> the bull<S>6499</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the child<S>5288</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S>, "Oh<S>994</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, I am the woman<S>802</S> who stood<S>5324</S> by you here<S>6419</S>, praying to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


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


text:
Therefore also I have granted<S>7592</S> him to Yahweh<S>3068</S>. As long as he lives<S>3117</S> he is granted<S>7592</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>." He worshiped<S>7812</S> Yahweh there<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> the vial<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and poured<S>3332</S> it on his head<S>7218</S>, and kissed<S>5401</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, "Isn<S>3068</S>'t it that Yahweh has anointed<S>4886</S> you to be prince<S>5057</S> over his inheritance<S>5159</S>?


text:
When you have departed<S>3212</S> from me<S>5978</S> today<S>3117</S>, then you shall find<S>4672</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> by Rachel<S>7354</S>'s tomb<S>6900</S>, in the border<S>1366</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> at Zelzah<S>6766</S>; and they will tell<S>559</S> you<S>860</S>, 'The donkeys which you went<S>1980</S> to seek<S>1245</S> have been found<S>4672</S>; and behold<S>1</S>, your father has stopped<S>5203</S> caring<S>1697</S> about the donkeys<S>860</S>, and is anxious<S>1672</S> for you<S>559</S>, saying, "What shall I do<S>6213</S> for my son<S>1121</S>?"'


text:
"Then you shall go on<S>2498</S> forward<S>1973</S> from there<S>935</S>, and you shall come to the oak<S>436</S> of Tabor<S>8396</S>; and three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S> shall meet<S>4672</S> you there 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> young goats<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> you<S>5414</S>, and give you two<S>8147</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S>, which you shall receive<S>3947</S> of their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
"After<S>310</S> that you shall come<S>935</S> to the hill<S>1389</S> of God<S>430</S>, where is the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and it shall happen<S>935</S>, when you have come there to the city<S>5892</S>, that you shall meet<S>6293</S> a band<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 tambourine<S>8596</S>, and a pipe<S>2485</S>, and a harp<S>3658</S>, before<S>6440</S> them<S>5012</S>; and they will be prophesying:


text:
and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> will come<S>6743</S> mightily on you<S>5012</S>, and you shall prophesy with them<S>2015</S>, and shall be turned into another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
Let it be<S>226</S>, when these signs have come<S>935</S> to you<S>6213</S>, that you do as occasion<S>4672</S> shall serve<S>3027</S> you<S>430</S>; for God is with you.


text:
"You shall go down<S>3381</S> before<S>6440</S> me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and behold<S>3381</S>, I will come down to you<S>5927</S>, to offer burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and to sacrifice<S>5927</S> sacrifices<S>2076</S> of peace offerings<S>5930</S>: you shall wait<S>3176</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, until I come<S>935</S> to you<S>3045</S>, and show you what you shall do<S>6213</S>."


text:
It was so<S>6437</S>, that when he had turned his back<S>7926</S> to go<S>3212</S> from Samuel<S>8050</S>, God<S>3212</S> gave<S>2015</S> him another<S>312</S> heart<S>3820</S>: and all those signs<S>226</S> happened<S>935</S> that day<S>3117</S>.


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


text:
It happened<S>3045</S>, when all who knew him before<S>865</S> saw<S>7200</S> that<S>5012</S>, behold, he prophesied with 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 is this that has come to the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>? Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?"


text:
One<S>376</S> of the same place answered<S>6030</S>, "Who is their father<S>1</S>?" Therefore it became a proverb<S>4912</S>, "Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?"


text:
When he had made an end<S>3615</S> of prophesying<S>5012</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S> to him and to his servant<S>5288</S>, "Where<S>575</S> did you go<S>1980</S>?" He said<S>559</S>, "To seek<S>1245</S> the donkeys<S>860</S>. When we saw<S>7200</S> that they were not found<S>369</S>, we came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S>, "Please tell<S>5046</S> me what Samuel<S>8050</S> said to you<S>559</S>."


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


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>6817</S> the people<S>5971</S> together to Yahweh<S>3068</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>;


text:
and he said<S>559</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, <S>5927</S> 'I brought up Israel<S>3478</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and I 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 the kingdoms<S>4467</S> that oppressed you<S>3905</S>:'


text:
but you have this day<S>3117</S> rejected<S>3988</S> your God<S>430</S>, who himself saves<S>3467</S> you out of all your calamities<S>7451</S> and your distresses<S>6869</S>; and you have said<S>559</S> to him<S>7760</S>, 'No! Set a king<S>4428</S> over us<S>3320</S>.' Now therefore present yourselves before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> by your tribes<S>7626</S>, and by your thousands<S>505</S>."


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> brought all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> near<S>7126</S>, and the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
He brought the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> near<S>7126</S> by their families<S>4940</S>; and the family<S>4940</S> of the Matrites<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>: but when they sought<S>1245</S> him<S>4672</S>, he could not be found.


text:
Therefore they asked<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> further<S>376</S>, "Is there yet a man to come<S>935</S> here<S>1988</S>?" Yahweh<S>3068</S> answered<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>2244</S>, he has hidden himself among the baggage<S>3627</S>."


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


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, "You see<S>7200</S> him whom Yahweh<S>3068</S> has chosen<S>977</S>, that there is none like him among all the people<S>5971</S>?" All the people<S>5971</S> shouted<S>7321</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Let the king<S>4428</S> live<S>2421</S>!"


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>1696</S> the people<S>5971</S> the regulations<S>4941</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, and wrote<S>3789</S> it in a book<S>5612</S>, and laid it up<S>3240</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>. 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:
Saul<S>7586</S> also went<S>1980</S> to his house<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>; and there went<S>3212</S> with him the army<S>2428</S>, whose hearts<S>3820</S> God<S>430</S> had touched<S>5060</S>.


text:
But certain worthless<S>1100</S> fellows<S>1121</S> said<S>559</S>, "How shall this man save<S>3467</S> us<S>959</S>?" They despised him<S>935</S>, and brought him no present<S>4503</S>. But he held his peace<S>2790</S>.


text:
Then Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Jabesh Gilead<S>3003</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<S>5647</S>, and we will serve you."


text:
Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> said<S>559</S> to them<S>2063</S>, "On this condition I will make<S>3772</S> it with you<S>3225</S>, that all your right eyes<S>5869</S> be put out<S>5365</S>; and I will lay<S>7760</S> it for a reproach<S>2781</S> on all Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
The elders<S>2205</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>7651</S>, "Give us seven days<S>3117</S>, that<S>7503</S> we may send<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and then<S>3467</S>, if there is no one to save us<S>3318</S>, we will come out to you."


text:
Then the messengers<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> these words<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 voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
Behold<S>7586</S>, Saul came<S>935</S> following<S>310</S> the oxen<S>1241</S> out of the field<S>7704</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "What ails the people<S>5971</S> that they weep<S>1058</S>?" They told<S>5608</S> him the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>.


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


text:
He took<S>3947</S> a yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and cut them in pieces<S>5408</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them throughout all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of messengers<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Whoever doesn<S>3318</S>'t come forth 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>." The dread<S>6343</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S> on the people<S>5971</S>, and they came out<S>3318</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
He numbered<S>6485</S> them in Bezek<S>966</S>; and 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:
They said<S>559</S> to the messengers<S>4397</S> who came<S>935</S>, "Thus you shall tell<S>559</S> the men<S>376</S> of Jabesh Gilead<S>3003</S>, <S>4279</S> 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun<S>8121</S> is hot<S>2527</S>, you shall have deliverance<S>8668</S>.'" The messengers<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>; and they were glad<S>8055</S>.


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


text:
It was so on the next day<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 camp<S>4264</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> watch<S>821</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Ammonites<S>5983</S> until the heat<S>2527</S> of the day<S>3117</S>: and it happened<S>7604</S>, that those who remained were scattered<S>6327</S>, so that no two<S>8147</S> of them were left<S>7604</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
The people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "Who is he who said<S>559</S>, <S>7586</S> 'Shall Saul reign<S>4427</S> over us<S>5414</S>?' Bring those men<S>582</S>, that we may put them to death<S>4191</S>!"


text:
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 today<S>3117</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> has worked<S>6213</S> deliverance<S>8668</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</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 there<S>4410</S>."


text:
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> Yahweh<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they offered<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<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:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S>, "Behold<S>8085</S>, I have listened to your voice<S>6963</S> in all that you said<S>559</S> to me<S>4427</S>, and have made a king over you<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now<S>4428</S>, behold, the king walks<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>2204</S>; and I am old and gray-headed<S>7867</S>; and behold<S>1121</S>, my sons are with you<S>1980</S>: and I have walked before<S>6440</S> you from my youth<S>5271</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Here I am<S>6030</S>. Witness against me before Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and before his anointed<S>4899</S>. Whose ox<S>7794</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? Whose donkey<S>2543</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? Whom have I defrauded<S>6231</S>? Whom have I oppressed<S>7533</S>? Of whose hand<S>3027</S> have I taken a ransom<S>3724</S> to blind<S>5956</S> my eyes<S>5869</S> therewith<S>7725</S>? I will restore it to you."


text:
They said<S>559</S>, "You have not defrauded<S>6231</S> us<S>7533</S>, nor oppressed us<S>3947</S>, neither have you taken anything<S>3972</S> of any man<S>376</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>."

He said<S>559</S> to them<S>3068</S>, "Yahweh is witness<S>5707</S> against you<S>4899</S>, and his anointed is witness<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that you have not found<S>4672</S> anything<S>3972</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>." They said<S>559</S>, "He is witness<S>5707</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, "It is Yahweh<S>3068</S> who appointed<S>6213</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, and that brought<S>5927</S> your fathers<S>1</S> up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Now therefore stand still<S>3320</S>, that I may plead<S>8199</S> with you before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> concerning all the righteous acts<S>6666</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, which he did<S>6213</S> to you and to your fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
"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 Yahweh<S>3068</S>, then Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, who brought your fathers<S>1</S> out<S>3318</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and made them to dwell<S>3427</S> in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
"But they forgot<S>7911</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>; and he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Sisera<S>5516</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<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 against them<S>3898</S>.


text:
They cried<S>2199</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, <S>2398</S> 'We have sinned, because we have forsaken<S>5800</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and have served<S>5647</S> the Baals<S>1168</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>: but now deliver<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and we will serve you<S>5647</S>.'


text:
Yahweh<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 out of the hand<S>3027</S> of your enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>; and you lived<S>3427</S> in safety<S>983</S>.


text:
"When you 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<S>559</S>, you said to me<S>4428</S>, 'No, but a king shall reign<S>4427</S> over us<S>3068</S>;' when Yahweh your God<S>430</S> was your king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now therefore see the king<S>4428</S> whom you have chosen<S>977</S>, and whom you have asked<S>7592</S> for<S>3068</S>: and behold, Yahweh has set<S>5414</S> a king over you<S>4428</S>.


text:
If you will fear<S>3372</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him<S>8085</S>, and listen to his voice<S>6963</S>, and not rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, then both you and also the king<S>4428</S> who reigns<S>4427</S> over you are followers<S>310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>.


text:
But if you will not listen<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, then will the hand<S>3027</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> be against you<S>1</S>, as it was against your fathers.


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


text:
Isn<S>2406</S>'t it wheat harvest<S>7105</S> today<S>3117</S>? I will call<S>7121</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that he may send<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S>; and you shall know<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> that your wickedness<S>7451</S> is great<S>7227</S>, which you have done<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, in asking<S>7592</S> for a king<S>4428</S>."


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and Yahweh<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> Yahweh<S>3068</S> and Samuel<S>8050</S>.


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


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, "Don<S>3372</S>'t be afraid. You have indeed done<S>6213</S> all this evil<S>7451</S>; yet don<S>5493</S>'t turn aside from following<S>310</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but serve<S>5647</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Don<S>5493</S>'t turn aside to go after<S>310</S> vain<S>8414</S> things which can<S>3276</S>'t profit nor deliver<S>5337</S>, for they are vain<S>8414</S>.


text:
For Yahweh<S>3068</S> will not forsake<S>5203</S> his people<S>5971</S> for his great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>'s sake<S>2974</S>, because it has pleased Yahweh<S>3068</S> to make<S>6213</S> you a people to himself<S>5971</S>.


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


text:
Only fear<S>3372</S> Yahweh<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> how great things he has done for you<S>1431</S>.


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


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> reigned<S>4427</S> a year<S>1121</S>; and when he had reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> chose<S>977</S> for himself three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>, of which two thousand<S>505</S> were with Saul<S>7586</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S> and in the Mount<S>2022</S> of Bethel<S>1008</S>, and one thousand<S>505</S> were with Jonathan<S>3129</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: and the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> he sent<S>7971</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3129</S> struck<S>5221</S> the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> that was in Geba<S>1387</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>7586</S>. Saul blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Let the Hebrews<S>5680</S> hear<S>8085</S>!"


text:
All Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> that<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> had struck<S>5221</S> the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and also that Israel<S>3478</S> was had in abomination<S>887</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>. The people<S>5971</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and people<S>5971</S> as the sand<S>2344</S> which is on the seashore<S>3220, 8193</S> in multitude<S>7230</S>: and they came up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S>, eastward<S>6926</S> of Beth Aven<S>1007</S>.


text:
When the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were in a strait<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 coverts<S>6877</S>, and in pits<S>953</S>.


text:
Now some of the Hebrews<S>5680</S> had gone over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Gad<S>1410</S> and Gilead<S>1568</S>; but as for Saul<S>7586</S>, he was yet in Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> followed<S>310</S> him trembling<S>2729</S>.


text:
He stayed<S>3176</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, according to the time<S>4150</S> set by Samuel<S>8050</S>: but Samuel<S>8050</S> didn<S>935</S>'t come to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> were scattered from him<S>6327</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Bring here<S>5066</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> to me<S>8002</S>, and the peace offerings." He offered<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>.


text:
It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end<S>3615</S> of offering<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5927</S>, behold<S>8050</S>, Samuel came<S>935</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>1288</S>, that he might greet him.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "What have you done<S>6213</S>?" Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Because I saw<S>7200</S> that the people<S>5971</S> were scattered<S>5310</S> from me<S>935</S>, and that you didn't come within the days<S>3117</S> appointed<S>4150</S>, and that the Philistines<S>6430</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S> at Michmash<S>4363</S>;


text:
therefore I said<S>559</S>, <S>6430</S> 'Now the Philistines will come down<S>3381</S> on me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and I haven<S>2470</S>'t entreated the favor of<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.' I forced<S>662</S> myself therefore<S>5927</S>, and offered the burnt offering<S>5930</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "You have done foolishly<S>5528</S>. You have not kept<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, which he commanded<S>6680</S> you<S>3068</S>; for now Yahweh would have established<S>3559</S> your kingdom<S>4467</S> on Israel<S>3478, Philippians4</S> forever<S>5769</S>.


text:
But now your kingdom<S>4467</S> shall not continue<S>6965</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> has sought<S>1245</S> for himself a man<S>376</S> after his own heart<S>3824</S>, and Yahweh<S>3068</S> has appointed<S>6680</S> him to be prince<S>5057</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, because you have not kept<S>8104</S> that which Yahweh<S>3068</S> commanded you<S>6680</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>5927</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> who were present<S>4672</S> with him<S>8337</S>, about six hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S>, and Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> who were present<S>4672</S> with them<S>3427</S>, stayed in Geba<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: but the Philistines<S>6430</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S>.


text:
The spoilers<S>7843</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> in three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>: one<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> to the way<S>1870</S> that leads to Ophrah<S>6084</S>, to the land<S>776</S> of Shual<S>7777</S>;


text:
and another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> the way<S>1870</S> to Beth Horon<S>1032</S>; and another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the border<S>1366</S> that looks<S>8259</S> down on the valley<S>1516</S> of Zeboim<S>6650</S> toward the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Now there was no smith<S>2796</S> found<S>4672</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, "Lest the Hebrews<S>5680</S> make<S>6213</S> them swords<S>2719</S> or spears<S>2595</S>;"


text:
but all the Israelites<S>3478</S> went down<S>3381</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>, to sharpen<S>3913</S> every man<S>376</S> his plowshare<S>4282</S>, mattock<S>4281</S>, axe<S>7134</S>, and sickle<S>855</S>;


text:
yet they had a file<S>6477</S> for the mattocks<S>4281</S>, and for the plowshares<S>855</S>, and for the forks<S>7969</S>, and for the axes<S>7134</S>, and to set<S>5324</S> the goads<S>1861</S>.


text:
So it came to pass in the day<S>3117</S> of battle<S>4421</S>, that there was neither sword<S>2719</S> nor spear<S>2595</S> found<S>4672</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of any of the people<S>5971</S> who were with Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3129</S>: but with Saul<S>7586</S> and with Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S> was there found<S>4672</S>.


text:
The garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went out<S>3318</S> to the pass<S>4569</S> of Michmash<S>4363</S>.


text:
Now it fell on a day<S>3117</S>, that Jonathan<S>3129</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> who bore<S>5375</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, "Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go over<S>5674</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>' garrison<S>4673</S>, that is on the other side<S>5676</S>." But he didn<S>5046</S>'t tell his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in the uttermost<S>7097</S> part of Gibeah<S>1390</S> under the pomegranate tree<S>7416</S> which is in Migron<S>4051</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> who were with him were about six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>;


text:
and Ahijah<S>281</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, Ichabod<S>350</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Phinehas<S>6372</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, the priest<S>3548</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, wearing<S>5375</S> an ephod<S>646</S>. The people<S>5971</S> didn<S>3045</S>'t know that Jonathan<S>3129</S> was gone<S>1980</S>.


text:
Between the passes<S>4569</S>, by which Jonathan<S>3129</S> sought<S>1245</S> to go over<S>5674</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>' garrison<S>4673</S>, there was a rocky<S>5553</S> crag<S>8127</S> on the one side<S>5676</S>, and a rocky<S>5553</S> crag<S>8127</S> on the other side<S>5676</S>: and the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Bozez<S>949</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>259</S> Seneh<S>5573</S>.


text:
The one<S>259</S> crag<S>8127</S> rose up<S>4690</S> on the north<S>6828</S> in front<S>8127</S> of Michmash<S>4363</S>, and the other<S>259</S> on the south<S>5045</S> in front<S>4136</S> of Geba<S>1387</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> who bore<S>5375</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, "Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go over<S>5674</S> to the garrison<S>4673</S> of these uncircumcised<S>6189</S>. It may be that Yahweh<S>3068</S> will work<S>6213</S> for us<S>4622</S>; for there is no restraint on Yahweh<S>3068</S> to save<S>3467</S> by many<S>7227</S> or by few<S>4592</S>."


text:
His armor bearer<S>5375</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6213</S>, "Do all that is in your heart<S>3824</S>. Turn<S>5186</S> and<S>3824</S>, behold, I am with you according to your heart."


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>5674</S>, we will pass over to the men<S>582</S>, and we will reveal ourselves to them<S>1540</S>.


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


text:
But if they say<S>559</S> this<S>5927</S>, 'Come up to us<S>5927</S>!' then we will go up; for Yahweh<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> them into our hand<S>3027</S>. This shall be the sign to us<S>226</S>."

Both<S>8147</S> of them revealed<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<S>5680</S>, the Hebrews are coming out<S>3318</S> of the holes<S>2356</S> where they had hidden themselves<S>2244</S>!"


text:
The men<S>582</S> of the garrison<S>4675</S> answered<S>6030</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Come up<S>5927</S> to us<S>3045</S>, and we will show you something<S>1697</S>!" Jonathan<S>3129</S> said<S>559</S> to his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, "Come up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3068</S>; for Yahweh has delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
Jonathan<S>3129</S> climbed up<S>5927</S> on his hands<S>3027</S> and on his feet<S>7272</S>, and his armor bearer<S>5375</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>: and they fell before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>; and his armor bearer<S>5375</S> killed<S>4191</S> them after him<S>310</S>.


text:
That first<S>7223</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>, which Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armor bearer<S>5375</S> made<S>5221</S>, was about twenty<S>6242</S> men<S>376</S>, within as it were half<S>2677</S> a furrow<S>6776</S>'s length in an acre<S>4618</S> of land<S>7704</S>.


text:
There was a trembling<S>2731</S> in the camp<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 there was an exceeding great<S>430</S> trembling<S>2731</S>.


text:
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<S>1995</S>, the multitude melted away<S>4127</S>, and<S>3212</S> scattered<S>1986</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to the people<S>5971</S> who were with him<S>6485</S>, "Count now<S>7200</S>, and see who is missing<S>1980</S> from us<S>6485</S>." When they had counted, behold<S>3129</S>, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there<S>5375</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahijah<S>281</S>, "Bring the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> here<S>5066</S>." For the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was with the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> at that time<S>3117</S>.


text:
It happened<S>7586</S>, while Saul talked<S>1696</S> to the priest<S>3548</S>, that the tumult<S>1995</S> that was in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> and increased<S>7227</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to the priest<S>3548</S>, "Withdraw<S>622</S> your hand<S>3027</S>!"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> who were with him were gathered<S>2199</S> together<S>935</S>, and came to the battle<S>4421</S>: and behold<S>376</S>, every man's sword<S>2719</S> was against his fellow<S>7453</S>: a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> confusion<S>4103</S>.


text:
Now the Hebrews<S>5680</S> who were with the Philistines<S>6430</S> as<S>8032</S> before<S>865</S>, and who went up<S>5927</S> with them into the camp<S>4264</S>, from all around<S>5439</S>, even they also turned to be with the Israelites<S>3478</S> who were with Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3129</S>.


text:
Likewise all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> who had hidden<S>2244</S> themselves in the hill<S>2022</S> country of Ephraim<S>669</S>, when they heard<S>8085</S> that the Philistines<S>6430</S> fled<S>5127</S>, even they also followed hard<S>1692</S> after<S>310</S> them in the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
So Yahweh<S>3068</S> saved<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and the battle<S>4421</S> passed over<S>5674</S> by Beth Aven<S>1007</S>.


text:
The men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were distressed<S>5065</S> that day<S>3117</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> had adjured<S>422</S> the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Cursed<S>779</S> is the man<S>376</S> who eats<S>398</S> any food<S>3899</S> until it is evening<S>6153</S>, and I am avenged<S>5358</S> of my enemies<S>341</S>." So none of the people<S>5971</S> tasted<S>2938</S> food<S>3899</S>.


text:
All the people<S>776</S> came<S>935</S> into the forest<S>3293</S>; and there was honey<S>1706</S> on<S>6440</S> the ground<S>7704</S>.


text:
When the people<S>5971</S> had come<S>935</S> to the forest<S>3293</S>, behold<S>1706</S>, the honey dropped<S>1982</S>: but no man put<S>5381</S> his hand<S>3027</S> to his mouth<S>6310</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> feared<S>3372</S> the oath<S>7621</S>.


text:
But Jonathan<S>3129</S> didn<S>8085</S>'t hear when his father<S>1</S> commanded<S>7650</S> the people<S>5971</S> with the oath<S>7650</S>: therefore he put forth<S>7971</S> the end<S>7097</S> of the rod<S>4294</S> who was in his hand<S>3027</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> it in the honeycomb<S>3295</S>, and put<S>7725</S> his hand<S>3027</S> to his mouth<S>6310</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were enlightened<S>215</S>.


text:
Then one<S>376</S> of the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Your father<S>1</S> directly<S>7650</S> commanded<S>7650</S> the people<S>5971</S> with an oath<S>7650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>779</S> 'Cursed is the man<S>376</S> who eats<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S> this day<S>3117</S>.'" The people<S>5971</S> were faint<S>5774</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3129</S> said<S>559</S>, "My father<S>1</S> has troubled<S>5916</S> the land<S>776</S>. Please look<S>7200</S> how my eyes<S>5869</S> have been enlightened<S>215</S>, because I tasted<S>2938</S> a little<S>4592</S> of this honey<S>1706</S>.


text:
How much more<S>637</S>, if perhaps<S>3863</S> the people<S>5971</S> had eaten<S>398</S> freely<S>398</S> today<S>3117</S> of the spoil<S>7998</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> which they found<S>4672</S>? For now has there been no great<S>7235</S> slaughter<S>4347</S> among the Philistines<S>6430</S>."


text:
They struck<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> that day<S>3117</S> from Michmash<S>4363</S> to Aijalon<S>357</S>. The people<S>5971</S> were very<S>3966</S> faint<S>5774</S>;


text:
and the people<S>5971</S> flew<S>5860</S> on the spoil<S>7998</S>, and took<S>3947</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and cattle<S>1241</S>, and calves<S>1121</S>, and killed<S>7819</S> them on the ground<S>776</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> ate<S>398</S> them with the blood<S>1818</S>.


text:
Then they told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>5971</S>, the people are sinning<S>2398</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>, in that they eat<S>398</S> meat with the blood<S>1818</S>." He said<S>559</S>, "You have dealt treacherously<S>898</S>. Roll<S>1556</S> a large<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S> to me this day<S>3117</S>!"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Disperse<S>6327</S> yourselves among the people<S>5971</S>, and tell<S>559</S> them<S>5066</S>, 'Bring me here every man<S>376</S> his ox<S>7794</S>, and every man<S>376</S> his sheep<S>7716</S>, and kill<S>7819</S> them here<S>398</S>, and eat; and don<S>2398</S>'t sin against Yahweh<S>3068</S> in eating<S>398</S> meat with the blood<S>1818</S>.'" All the people<S>5971</S> brought<S>5066</S> every man<S>376</S> his ox<S>7794</S> with him<S>3027</S> that night<S>3915</S>, and killed them there<S>7819</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>. This was the first<S>2490</S> altar<S>4196</S> that he built<S>1129</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Let us go down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and take spoil<S>962</S> among them until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, and let us not leave<S>7604</S> a man<S>376</S> of them<S>559</S>." They said, "Do<S>6213</S> whatever seems<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> to you<S>3548</S>." Then the priest said<S>559</S>, "Let us draw near<S>7126</S> here<S>1988</S> to God<S>430</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> asked<S>7592</S> counsel of God<S>430</S>, "Shall I go down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? Will you deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?" But he didn<S>6030</S>'t answer him that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Draw near<S>5066</S> here<S>1988</S>, all you chiefs<S>6438</S> of the people<S>5971</S>; and know<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> in which<S>4100</S> this sin<S>2403</S> has been this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
For<S>3068</S>, as Yahweh lives<S>2416</S>, who saves<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, though it is<S>3426</S> in Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S>, he shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>." But there was not a man among all the people<S>5971</S> who answered him<S>6030</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S>, "You be on one<S>259</S> side<S>5676</S>, and I and Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S> will be on the other<S>259</S> side<S>5676</S>." The people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Do<S>6213</S> what seems<S>5869</S> good to you<S>2896</S>."


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, "Show<S>3051</S> the right<S>8549</S>." Jonathan<S>3129</S> and Saul<S>7586</S> were chosen<S>3920</S>; but the people<S>5971</S> escaped<S>3318</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Cast<S>5307</S> lots between me and Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S>." Jonathan<S>3129</S> was selected<S>3920</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Jonathan<S>3129</S>, "Tell<S>5046</S> me what you have done<S>6213</S>!" Jonathan<S>3129</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>5046</S>, and said, "I certainly<S>2938</S> did taste<S>2938</S> a little<S>4592</S> honey<S>1706</S> with the end<S>7097</S> of the rod<S>4294</S> that was in my hand<S>3027</S>; and behold<S>2009</S>, I must die<S>4191</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "God<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> and more also<S>3254</S>; for you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, Jonathan<S>3129</S>."


text:
The people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Shall Jonathan<S>3129</S> die<S>4191</S>, who has worked<S>6213</S> this great<S>1419</S> salvation<S>3444</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? Far<S>2486</S> from it<S>3068</S>! As Yahweh lives<S>2416</S>, there shall not one hair<S>8185</S> of his head<S>7218</S> fall<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S>; for he has worked<S>6213</S> with God<S>430</S> this day<S>3117</S>!" So the people<S>5971</S> rescued<S>6299</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>, that he didn<S>4191</S>'t die.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> went up<S>5927</S> from following<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> to their own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Now when Saul<S>7586</S> had taken<S>3920</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, he fought<S>3898</S> against all his enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, against Moab<S>4124</S>, and against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and against Edom<S>123</S>, and against the kings<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, and against the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and wherever he turned<S>6437</S> himself<S>7561</S>, he defeated them.


text:
He did<S>6213</S> valiantly<S>2428</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of the hands<S>3027</S> of those who despoiled them<S>8154</S>.


text:
Now the sons<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> were Jonathan<S>3129</S>, and Ishvi<S>3440</S>, and Malchishua<S>4444</S>; and the names<S>8034</S> of his two<S>8147</S> daughters<S>1323</S> were these<S>8034</S>: the name of the firstborn<S>1067</S> Merab<S>4764</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the younger<S>6996</S> Michal<S>4324</S>:


text:
and the name<S>8034</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s wife<S>802</S> was Ahinoam<S>293</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahimaaz<S>290</S>. The name<S>8034</S> of the captain<S>8269</S> of his army<S>6635</S> was Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S>.


text:
Kish<S>7027</S> was the father<S>1</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; and Ner<S>5369</S> the father<S>1</S> of Abner<S>74</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>.


text:
There was severe<S>2389</S> war<S>4421</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>: and when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> any mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S>, or any valiant<S>2428</S> man<S>376</S>, he took him to him<S>622</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> me to anoint<S>4886</S> you to be king<S>4428</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, over Israel<S>3478</S>. Now therefore listen<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of the words<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S>, <S>6485</S> 'I have marked that which Amalek<S>6002</S> did<S>6213</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, how he set<S>7760</S> himself against him in the way<S>1870</S>, when he came up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Now go<S>3212</S> and strike<S>5221</S> Amalek<S>6002</S>, and utterly destroy<S>2763</S> all that they have<S>2550</S>, and don't spare them<S>4191</S>; but kill both man<S>376</S> and woman<S>802</S>, infant<S>5768</S> and nursing<S>3243</S> baby<S>7794</S>, ox and sheep<S>7716</S>, camel<S>1581</S> and donkey<S>2543</S>.'"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> summoned<S>8085</S> the<S>8085</S> people<S>5971</S>, and numbered<S>6485</S> them in Telaim<S>2923</S>, two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>7273</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and laid wait<S>7378</S> in the valley<S>5158</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to the Kenites<S>7017</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>, depart<S>5493</S>, go down<S>3381</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, lest I destroy<S>622</S> you with them<S>6213</S>; for you showed kindness<S>2617</S> to all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>." So the Kenites<S>7017</S> departed<S>5493</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Amalekites<S>6003</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> struck<S>5221</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, from Havilah<S>2341</S> as you go<S>935</S> to Shur<S>7793</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
He took<S>8610</S> Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S> alive<S>2416</S>, and utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> all the people<S>5971</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
But Saul<S>7586</S> and the people<S>5971</S> spared<S>2550</S> Agag<S>90</S>, and the best<S>4315</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S>, and of the cattle<S>1241</S>, and of the fatlings<S>4932</S>, and the lambs<S>3733</S>, and all that was good<S>2896</S>, and wouldn<S>14</S>'t utterly destroy<S>2763</S> them<S>4399</S>: but everything that was vile<S>5240</S> and refuse<S>4549</S>, that they destroyed utterly<S>2763</S>.

"It grieves<S>5162</S> me that I have set up<S>4427</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to be king<S>4428</S>; for he is turned back<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>6965</S>, and has not performed my commandments<S>1697</S>." Samuel<S>8050</S> was angry<S>2734</S>; and he cried<S>2199</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> all night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> rose early<S>7925</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Saul<S>7586</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>; and it was told<S>5046</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, and behold<S>5324</S>, he set up a monument<S>3027</S> for himself<S>5437</S>, and turned, and passed on<S>5674</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1288</S>, "You are blessed by Yahweh<S>3068</S>! I have performed<S>6965</S> the commandment<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "Then what does this bleating<S>6963</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S> in my ears<S>241</S>, and the lowing<S>6963</S> of the cattle<S>1241</S> which I hear mean<S>8085</S>?"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "They have brought<S>935</S> them from the Amalekites<S>6003</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> spared<S>2550</S> the best<S>4315</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S> and of the cattle<S>1241</S>, to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>. We have utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> the rest<S>3498</S>."


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Stay<S>7503</S>, and I will tell<S>5046</S> you what Yahweh<S>3068</S> has said<S>1696</S> to me last night<S>3915</S>." He said<S>1696</S> to him<S>1696</S>, "Say on."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "Though you were little<S>6996</S> in your own sight<S>5869</S>, weren<S>7218</S>'t you made the head of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? Yahweh<S>3068</S> anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
and Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> you on a journey<S>1870</S>, and said<S>559</S>, <S>3212</S> 'Go, and utterly destroy<S>2763</S> the sinners<S>2400</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> against them until they are consumed<S>3615</S>.'


text:
Why then didn<S>8085</S>'t you obey the voice<S>6963</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, but took<S>5860</S> the spoils<S>7998</S>, and did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>?"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "But I have obeyed<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and have gone<S>3212</S> the way<S>1870</S> which Yahweh<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> me<S>935</S>, and have brought Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and have utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> took<S>3947</S> of the spoil<S>7998</S>, sheep<S>6629</S> and cattle<S>1241</S>, the chief<S>7225</S> of the devoted<S>2764</S> things<S>2076</S>, to sacrifice to Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "Has Yahweh<S>3068</S> as great delight<S>2656</S> in burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrifices<S>2077</S>, as in obeying<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>? Behold<S>8085</S>, to obey is better<S>2896</S> than sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and to listen<S>8085</S> than the fat<S>2459</S> of rams<S>352</S>.


text:
For rebellion<S>4805</S> is as the sin<S>2403</S> of witchcraft<S>7081</S>, and stubbornness<S>6484</S> is as idolatry<S>8655</S> and teraphim<S>205</S>. Because you have rejected<S>3988</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, he has also rejected<S>3988</S> you from being king<S>4428</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "I have sinned<S>2398</S>; for I have transgressed<S>5674</S> the commandment<S>6310</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and your words<S>1697</S>, because I feared<S>3372</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and obeyed<S>8085</S> their voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>5375</S>, please pardon my sin<S>2403</S>, and turn again<S>7725</S> with me<S>7812</S>, that I may worship Yahweh<S>3068</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "I will not return<S>7725</S> with you<S>3988</S>; for you have rejected the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and Yahweh<S>3068</S> has rejected<S>3988</S> you from being king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
As Samuel<S>8050</S> turned about<S>5437</S> to go away<S>3212</S>, Saul grabbed<S>2388</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of his robe<S>4598</S>, and it tore<S>7167</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3068</S>, "Yahweh has torn<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4468</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from you this day<S>3117</S>, and has given<S>5414</S> it to a neighbor<S>7453</S> of yours who is better than you<S>2896</S>.


text:
Also the Strength<S>5331</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> will not lie<S>8266</S> nor repent<S>5162</S>; for he is not a man<S>120</S>, that he should repent<S>5162</S>."


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, "I have sinned<S>2398</S>: yet please honor<S>3513</S> me now before the elders<S>2205</S> of my people<S>5971</S>, and before Israel<S>3478</S>, and come back<S>7725</S> with me<S>7812</S>, that I may worship Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>."


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> went back<S>7725</S> with<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> worshiped<S>7812</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "Bring here<S>5066</S> to me Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S>!" Agag<S>90</S> came<S>3212</S> to him cheerfully<S>4574</S>. Agag<S>90</S> said<S>559</S>, "Surely<S>403</S> the bitterness<S>4751</S> of death<S>4194</S> is past<S>5493</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "As your sword<S>2719</S> has made women<S>802</S> childless<S>7921</S>, so your mother<S>517</S> will be childless<S>7921</S> among women<S>802</S>!" Samuel<S>8050</S> cut<S>8158</S> Agag<S>90</S> in pieces<S>8158</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went up<S>5927</S> to his house<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> came no more<S>3254</S> to see<S>7200</S> Saul<S>7586</S> until the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>; for<S>3588</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> mourned<S>56</S> for Saul<S>7586</S>: and Yahweh<S>3068</S> grieved<S>5162</S> that he had made Saul<S>7586</S> king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "How long will you mourn<S>56</S> for Saul<S>7586</S>, since I have rejected<S>3988</S> him from being king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>? Fill<S>4390</S> your horn<S>7161</S> with oil<S>8081</S>, and go<S>3212</S>. I will send<S>7971</S> you to Jesse<S>3448</S> the Bethlehemite<S>1022</S>; for I have provided<S>7200</S> a king<S>4428</S> for myself among his sons<S>1121</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "How can I go<S>3212</S>? If Saul<S>7586</S> hears<S>8085</S> it<S>2026</S>, he will kill me<S>3068</S>." Yahweh said<S>559</S>, "Take<S>3947</S> a heifer<S>1241</S> with you<S>3027</S>, and say<S>559</S>, I have come<S>935</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Call<S>7121</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and I will show<S>3045</S> you what you shall do<S>6213</S>. You shall anoint<S>4886</S> to me him whom I name to you<S>559</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> did<S>6213</S> that which Yahweh<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Bethlehem<S>1035</S>. The elders<S>2205</S> of the city<S>5892</S> came<S>7125</S> to meet him trembling<S>2729</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Do you come<S>935</S> peaceably<S>7965</S>?"


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Peaceably<S>7965</S>; I have come<S>935</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves<S>935</S>, and come with me to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>." He sanctified<S>6942</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> and his sons<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> them to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
It happened<S>935</S>, when they had come, that he looked<S>7200</S> at Eliab<S>446</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Surely Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed is before him<S>4899</S>."


text:
But Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "Don<S>5027</S>'t look on his face<S>4758</S>, or on the height<S>1364</S> of his stature<S>6967</S>; because I have rejected<S>3988</S> him<S>120</S>: for I see not as man sees<S>7200</S>; for man<S>120</S> looks<S>7200</S> at the outward appearance<S>5869</S>, but Yahweh<S>3068</S> looks<S>7200</S> at the heart<S>3824</S>."


text:
Then Jesse<S>3448</S> called<S>7121</S> Abinadab<S>41</S>, and made him pass<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "Neither has Yahweh<S>3068</S> chosen this one<S>977</S>."


text:
Then Jesse<S>3448</S> made Shammah<S>8048</S> to pass by<S>5674</S>. He said<S>559</S>, "Neither has Yahweh<S>3068</S> chosen this one<S>977</S>."


text:
Jesse<S>3448</S> made seven<S>7651</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> to pass<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>. Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> has not chosen these<S>977</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, "Are all<S>8552</S> your children<S>5288</S> here<S>559</S>?" He said, "There remains<S>7604</S> yet the youngest<S>6996</S>, and behold<S>7462</S>, he is keeping the sheep<S>6629</S>." Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, "Send<S>7971</S> and get<S>3947</S> him<S>5437</S>; for we will not sit down until he comes<S>935</S> here<S>6311</S>."


text:
He sent<S>7971</S>, and brought him in<S>935</S>. Now he was ruddy<S>132</S>, and withal<S>5973</S> of a beautiful<S>3303</S> face<S>5869</S>, and goodly<S>2896</S> to<S>7210</S> look on<S>3068</S>. Yahweh said<S>559</S>, "Arise<S>6965</S>, anoint him<S>4886</S>; for this is he."


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> him in the midst<S>7130</S> of his brothers<S>251</S>: and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily on David<S>1732</S> from that day<S>3117</S> forward<S>4605</S>. So Samuel<S>8050</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
Now the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> departed<S>5493</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>, and an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from Yahweh<S>3068</S> troubled him<S>1204</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>7451</S>, "See now, an evil spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> troubles you<S>1204</S>.


text:
Let our lord<S>113</S> now command<S>559</S> your servants<S>5650</S> who are before<S>6440</S> you<S>1245</S>, to seek out a man<S>376</S> who is a skillful<S>3045</S> player<S>5059</S> on the harp<S>3658</S>. It shall happen<S>7451</S>, when the evil spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> is on you<S>5059</S>, that he shall play with his hand<S>3027</S>, and you shall be well<S>2895</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Provide<S>7200</S> me now a man<S>376</S> who can play<S>5059</S> well<S>3190</S>, and bring him to me<S>935</S>."


text:
Then one<S>259</S> of the young men answered<S>6030</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>7200</S>, I have seen a son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> the Bethlehemite<S>1022</S>, who is skillful<S>3045</S> in playing<S>5059</S>, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>2428</S> of valor<S>4421</S>, a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S>, prudent<S>995</S> in speech<S>1697</S>, and a comely<S>8389</S> person<S>376</S>; and Yahweh is with him<S>3068</S>."


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Send<S>7971</S> me David<S>1732</S> your son<S>1121</S>, who is with the sheep<S>6629</S>."


text:
Jesse<S>3448</S> took<S>3947</S> a donkey<S>2543</S> loaded with bread<S>3899</S>, and a bottle<S>4997</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and a<S>259</S> young goat<S>1423</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them by<S>3027</S> David<S>1732</S> his son<S>1121</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>157</S>. He loved him greatly<S>3966</S>; and he became his armor bearer<S>5375</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Please let David<S>1732</S> stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>4672</S>; for he has found favor<S>2580</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>."


text:
It happened<S>7307</S>, when the spirit from God<S>430</S> was on Saul<S>7586</S>, that David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the harp<S>3658</S>, and played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>: so Saul<S>7586</S> was refreshed<S>7304</S>, and was well<S>2895</S>, and the evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> departed from him<S>5493</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered together<S>622</S> their armies<S>4264</S> to battle<S>4421</S>; and they were gathered together<S>622</S> at Socoh<S>7755</S>, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> between Socoh<S>7755</S> and Azekah<S>5825</S>, in Ephesdammim<S>658</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> and the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>622</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in the valley<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, and set the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> stood<S>5975</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S> on the one side<S>3478</S>, and Israel stood<S>5975</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S> on the other side<S>1516</S>: and there was a valley between them.


text:
There went out<S>3318</S> a champion<S>376</S> out of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, named<S>8034</S> Goliath<S>1555</S>, of Gath<S>1661</S>, whose height<S>1363</S> was six<S>8337</S> cubits<S>520</S> and a span<S>2239</S>.


text:
He had a helmet<S>3553</S> of brass<S>5178</S> on his head<S>7218</S>, and he was clad<S>3847</S> with a coat<S>8302</S> of mail<S>7193</S>; and the weight<S>4948</S> of the coat<S>8302</S> was five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
He had brass<S>5178</S> shin armor<S>4697</S> on his legs<S>7272</S>, and a javelin<S>3591</S> of brass<S>5178</S> between his shoulders<S>3802</S>.

The staff<S>6086</S> of his spear<S>2595</S> was like a weaver<S>707</S>'s beam<S>4500</S>; and his spear<S>2595</S>'s head<S>3852</S> weighed six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of iron<S>1270</S>: and his shield<S>6793</S> bearer<S>5375</S> went<S>1980</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
He stood<S>5975</S> and cried<S>7121</S> to the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> to them<S>3318</S>, "Why have you come out to set your battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S>? Am I not a Philistine<S>6430</S>, and you servants<S>5650</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>? Choose<S>1262</S> a man<S>376</S> for yourselves<S>3381</S>, and let him come down to me.


text:
If he be able<S>3201</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with me<S>5221</S>, and kill me<S>5650</S>, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail<S>3201</S> against him<S>5221</S>, and kill him<S>5650</S>, then you will be our servants, and serve us<S>5647</S>."


text:
The Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, "I defy<S>2778</S> the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> this day<S>3117</S>! Give<S>5414</S> me a man<S>376</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> together<S>3162</S>!"


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, they were dismayed<S>2865</S>, and greatly<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of that Ephrathite<S>376</S> of Bethlehem Judah<S>1035</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Jesse<S>3448</S>; and he had eight<S>8083</S> sons<S>1121</S>: and the man<S>376</S> was<S>935</S> an old man<S>2204</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, stricken among men<S>582</S>.


text:
The three<S>7969</S> eldest<S>1419</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> had gone<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to the battle<S>4421</S>: and the names<S>8034</S> of his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> who went<S>1980</S> to the battle<S>4421</S> were Eliab<S>446</S> the firstborn<S>1060</S>, and next<S>4932</S> to him Abinadab<S>41</S>, and the third<S>7992</S> Shammah<S>8048</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> was the youngest<S>6996</S>; and the three<S>7969</S> eldest<S>1419</S> followed<S>1980</S> Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> went<S>1980</S> back and forth<S>7725</S> from Saul<S>7586</S> to feed<S>7462</S> his father<S>1</S>'s sheep<S>6629</S> at Bethlehem<S>1035</S>.


text:
The Philistine<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> morning<S>7925</S> and evening<S>6150</S>, and presented<S>3320</S> himself forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Jesse<S>3448</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S> his son<S>1121</S>, "Now take<S>3947</S> for your brothers<S>251</S> an ephah<S>374</S> of this<S>2088</S> parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>6235</S>, and these ten loaves<S>3899</S>, and carry<S>7323</S> them quickly to the camp<S>4264</S> to your brothers<S>251</S>;


text:
and bring<S>935</S> these ten<S>6235</S> cheeses<S>2461</S> to the captain<S>8269</S> of their thousand<S>505</S>, and see<S>6485</S> how your brothers<S>251</S> are doing<S>7965</S>, and bring<S>3947</S> back news<S>6161</S>."


text:
Now Saul<S>7586</S>, and they<S>376</S>, and all the men of Israel<S>3478</S>, were in the valley<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, fighting<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> rose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and left<S>5203</S> the sheep<S>6629</S> with a keeper<S>8104</S>, and took<S>5375</S>, and went<S>3212</S>, as Jesse<S>3448</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> him<S>935</S>; and he came to the place<S>4570</S> of the wagons<S>2428</S>, as the army which was going forth<S>3318</S> to the fight<S>4634</S> shouted<S>7321</S> for the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
Israel<S>3478</S> and the Philistines<S>6430</S> put the battle in array<S>6186</S>, army<S>4634</S> against<S>7125</S> army<S>4634</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> left<S>5203</S> his baggage<S>3627</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of the keeper<S>8104</S> of the baggage<S>3627</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> to the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> and greeted<S>7592</S> his brothers<S>251</S>.


text:
As he talked<S>1696</S> with them<S>5927</S>, behold, there came up the champion<S>376</S>, the Philistine<S>6430</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>, Goliath<S>1555</S> by name<S>8034</S>, out of the ranks<S>4634</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> according to the same<S>428</S> words<S>1697</S>: and David<S>1732</S> heard them<S>8085</S>.


text:
All the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they saw<S>7200</S> the man<S>376</S>, fled<S>5127</S> from him<S>6440</S>, and were<S>3966</S> terrified<S>3372</S>.


text:
The men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, "Have you seen<S>7200</S> this man<S>376</S> who has come up<S>5927</S>? He has surely come up<S>5927</S> to defy<S>2778</S> Israel<S>3478</S>. It shall be<S>376</S>, that the man who kills<S>5221</S> him<S>4428</S>, the king will enrich<S>6238</S> him with great<S>1419</S> riches<S>6239</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> him his daughter<S>1323</S>, and make<S>6213</S> his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> free<S>2670</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> spoke<S>559</S> to the men<S>582</S> who stood<S>5975</S> by him<S>559</S>, saying, "What shall be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> who kills<S>5221</S> this<S>1975</S> Philistine<S>6430</S>, and takes away<S>5493</S> the reproach<S>2781</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>? For who is this uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistine<S>6430</S>, that he should defy<S>2778</S> the armies<S>4634</S> of the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>?"


text:
The people<S>5971</S> answered<S>559</S> him in this way<S>1697</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "So shall it be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> who kills him<S>5221</S>."


text:
Eliab<S>446</S> his eldest<S>1419</S> brother<S>251</S> heard<S>8085</S> when he spoke<S>1696</S> to the men<S>582</S>; and Eliab<S>446</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against David<S>1732</S>, and he said<S>559</S>, "Why have you come down<S>3381</S>? With whom have you left<S>5203</S> those<S>2007</S> few<S>4592</S> sheep<S>6629</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>? I know<S>3045</S> your pride<S>2087</S>, and the naughtiness<S>7455</S> of your heart<S>3824</S>; for you have come down<S>3381</S> that you might see<S>7200</S> the battle<S>4421</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "What have I now done<S>6213</S>? Is there not a cause<S>1697</S>?"


text:
He turned<S>5437</S> away from him<S>681</S> toward<S>4136</S> another<S>312</S>, and spoke<S>559</S> like that again<S>1697</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>1697</S> him again<S>7725</S> the same<S>7223</S> way<S>1697</S>.


text:
When the words<S>1697</S> were heard<S>8085</S> which David<S>1732</S> spoke<S>1696</S>, they rehearsed<S>5046</S> them before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>; and he sent for him<S>3947</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Let no man<S>120</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> fail<S>5307</S> because of him<S>5650</S>. Your servant will go<S>3212</S> and fight<S>3898</S> with this Philistine<S>6430</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "You are not able<S>3201</S> to go<S>3212</S> against this Philistine<S>6430</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with him<S>5288</S>; for you are but a youth, and he a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S> from his youth<S>5271</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Your servant<S>5650</S> was keeping<S>7462</S> his father<S>1</S>'s sheep<S>6629</S>; and when a lion<S>738</S> or a bear<S>1677</S> came<S>935</S>, and took<S>5375</S> a lamb<S>7716</S> out of the flock<S>5739</S>,


text:
I went out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5221</S>, and struck him<S>5337</S>, and rescued it out of his mouth<S>6310</S>. When he arose<S>6965</S> against me<S>2388</S>, I caught him by his beard<S>2206</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him.


text:
Your servant<S>5650</S> struck<S>5221</S> both the lion<S>738</S> and the bear<S>1677</S>. This uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistine<S>6430</S> shall be as one<S>259</S> of them<S>2778</S>, since he has defied the armies<S>4634</S> of the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> who delivered<S>5337</S> me out of the paw<S>3027</S> of the lion<S>738</S>, and out of the paw<S>3027</S> of the bear<S>1677</S>, he will deliver<S>5337</S> me out of the hand<S>3027</S> of this Philistine<S>6430</S>." Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Go<S>3212</S>; and Yahweh shall be with you<S>3068</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> dressed<S>3847</S> David<S>1732</S> with his clothing<S>4055</S>. He put<S>5414</S> a helmet<S>6959</S> of brass<S>5178</S> on his head<S>7218</S>, and he clad<S>3847</S> him with a coat of mail<S>8302</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> strapped<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S> on his clothing<S>4055</S>, and he tried<S>2974</S> to move<S>3212</S>; for he had not tested<S>5254</S> it<S>1732</S>. David said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "I can<S>3201</S>'t go<S>3212</S> with these<S>3201</S>; for I have not tested<S>5254</S> them<S>1732</S>." David took them off.


text:
He took<S>3947</S> his staff<S>4731</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and chose<S>977</S> for himself five<S>2568</S> smooth<S>2512</S> stones<S>68</S> out of the brook<S>5158</S>, and put<S>7760</S> them in the shepherd<S>7462</S>'s bag<S>3627</S> which he had<S>3219</S>, even in his wallet. His sling<S>7050</S> was in his hand<S>3027</S>; and he drew near<S>5066</S> to the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
The Philistine<S>6430</S> came<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> and drew near<S>7131</S> to David<S>1732</S>; and the man<S>376</S> who bore<S>5375</S> the shield<S>6793</S> went before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
When the Philistine<S>6430</S> looked about<S>5027</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, he disdained<S>959</S> him<S>5288</S>; for he was but a youth, and ruddy<S>132</S>, and withal of a fair<S>3303</S> face<S>4758</S>.


text:
The Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Am I a dog<S>3611</S>, that you come<S>935</S> to me with sticks<S>4731</S>?" The Philistine<S>6430</S> cursed<S>7043</S> David<S>1732</S> by his gods<S>430</S>.


text:
The Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Come<S>3212</S> to me<S>5414</S>, and I will give your flesh<S>1320</S> to the birds<S>5775</S> of the sky<S>8064</S>, and to the animals<S>929</S> of the field<S>7704</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to the Philistine<S>6430</S>, "You come<S>935</S> to me with a sword<S>2719</S>, and with a spear<S>2595</S>, and with a javelin<S>3591</S>: but I come<S>935</S> to you in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> of Armies<S>6635</S>, the God<S>430</S> of the armies<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, whom you have defied<S>2778</S>.


text:
Today<S>3117</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> will deliver<S>5462</S> you into my hand<S>3027</S>. I will strike<S>5221</S> you<S>5493</S>, and take your head<S>7218</S> from off you<S>5414</S>. I will give the dead bodies<S>6297</S> of the army<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> this day<S>3117</S> to the birds<S>5775</S> of the sky<S>8064</S>, and to the wild animals<S>2416</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; that all the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> that there is<S>3426</S> a God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
and that all this assembly<S>6951</S> may know<S>3045</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> doesn<S>3467</S>'t save with sword<S>2719</S> and spear<S>2595</S>: for the battle<S>4421</S> is Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s, and he will give<S>5414</S> you into our hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
It happened<S>6430</S>, when the Philistine arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>3212</S> and drew near<S>7126</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, that David<S>1732</S> hurried<S>4116</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> toward the army<S>4634</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> put<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> in his bag<S>3627</S>, took<S>3947</S> a stone<S>68</S>, and slung<S>7049</S> it<S>5221</S>, and struck the Philistine<S>6430</S> in his forehead<S>4696</S>; and the stone<S>68</S> sank<S>2883</S> into his forehead<S>4696</S>, and he fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>6440</S> to the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> over<S>4480</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S> with a sling<S>7050</S> and with a stone<S>68</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>2719</S>; but there was no sword in the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> ran<S>7323</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> over the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and took<S>3947</S> his sword<S>2719</S>, and drew<S>8025</S> it out of its sheath<S>8593</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>3772</S>, and cut off his head<S>7218</S> therewith<S>6430</S>. When the Philistines saw<S>7200</S> that their champion<S>1368</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, they fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and of Judah<S>3063</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and shouted<S>7321</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, until you come<S>935</S> to Gai<S>1516</S>, and to the gates<S>8179</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>. The wounded<S>2491</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> fell down<S>5307</S> by the way<S>1870</S> to Shaaraim<S>8189</S>, even to Gath<S>1661</S>, and to Ekron<S>6138</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> returned<S>7725</S> from chasing<S>1814</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and they plundered<S>8155</S> their camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the head<S>7218</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; but he put<S>7760</S> his armor<S>3627</S> in his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S> go forth<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, he said<S>559</S> to Abner<S>74</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>, "Abner<S>74</S>, whose son<S>1121</S> is this youth<S>5288</S>?" Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S>, "As your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, I can<S>518</S>'t tell<S>3045</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "Inquire<S>7592</S> whose son<S>1121</S> the young man is<S>5958</S>!"


text:
As David<S>1732</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, Abner<S>74</S> took<S>3947</S> him<S>935</S>, and brought him before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S> with the head<S>7218</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1121</S>, "Whose son are you<S>5288</S>, you young man?" David<S>1732</S> answered<S>559</S>, "I am the son<S>1121</S> of your servant<S>5650</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> the Bethlehemite<S>1022</S>."

It happened<S>3615</S>, when he had made an end of speaking<S>1696</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, that the soul<S>5315</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> was knit<S>7194</S> with the soul<S>5315</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> loved<S>157</S> him as his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> him that day<S>3117</S>, and would let<S>5414</S> him go no more home<S>7725</S> to his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>7725</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> and David<S>1732</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S>, because he loved<S>160</S> him as his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> stripped<S>6584</S> himself of the robe<S>4598</S> that was on him<S>5414</S>, and gave it to David<S>1732</S>, and his clothing<S>4055</S>, even to his sword<S>2719</S>, and to his bow<S>7198</S>, and to his sash<S>2289</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> went out<S>3318</S> wherever Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> him<S>7919</S>, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul<S>7586</S> set<S>7760</S> him over the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and it was good<S>3190</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all the people<S>5971</S>, and also in the sight<S>5869</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
It happened as they came<S>935</S>, when David<S>1732</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, that the women<S>802</S> came out<S>3318</S> of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, singing<S>7891</S> and dancing<S>4246</S>, to meet<S>7125</S> king<S>4428</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, with tambourines<S>8596</S>, with joy<S>8057</S>, and with instruments of music<S>7991</S>.


text:
The women<S>802</S> sang<S>6030</S> one to another as they played<S>7832</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Saul<S>7586</S> has slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>505</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>2734</S>, and this saying<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> him<S>559</S>; and he said, "They have ascribed<S>5414</S> to David<S>1732</S> ten thousands<S>7233</S>, and to me they have ascribed<S>5414</S> but thousands<S>505</S>. What can he have more but the kingdom<S>4410</S>?"


text:
It happened on the next day<S>4283</S>, that an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily on Saul<S>7586</S>, and he prophesied<S>5012</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the house<S>1004</S>. David<S>1732</S> played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>, as he did day by day<S>3117</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> had his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>;


text:
and Saul<S>7586</S> threw<S>2904</S> the spear<S>2595</S>; for he said<S>559</S>, "I will pin<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S> even to the wall<S>7023</S>!" David<S>1732</S> escaped from<S>5437</S> his presence<S>6440</S> twice<S>6471</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> was afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S>, because Yahweh<S>3068</S> was with him<S>5493</S>, and was departed from Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> removed<S>5493</S> him from him<S>7760</S>, and made him his captain<S>8269</S> over a thousand<S>505</S>; and he went out<S>3318</S> and came in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> behaved himself wisely<S>7919</S> in all his ways<S>1870</S>; and Yahweh was with him<S>3068</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> that he behaved<S>7919</S> himself very<S>3966</S> wisely<S>7919</S>, he stood in awe<S>1481</S> of him<S>6440</S>.


text:
But all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S> loved<S>157</S> David<S>1732</S>; for he went out<S>3318</S> and came in<S>935</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Behold<S>1419</S>, my elder daughter<S>1323</S> Merab<S>4764</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> her to you as wife<S>802</S>. Only be valiant<S>1121</S> for me<S>3898</S>, and fight Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s battles<S>4421</S>." For Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Don<S>3027</S>'t let my hand be on him<S>3027</S>, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him<S>6430</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Who am I<S>2416</S>, and what is my life, or my father<S>1</S>'s family<S>4940</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, that I should be son-in<S>2860</S>-law to the king<S>4428</S>?"


text:
But it happened at the time<S>6256</S> when Merab<S>4764</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, should have been given<S>5414</S> to David<S>1732</S>, that she was given<S>5414</S> to Adriel<S>5741</S> the Meholathite<S>4259</S> as wife<S>802</S>.


text:
Michal<S>4324</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, loved<S>157</S> David<S>1732</S>; and they told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and the thing<S>1697</S> pleased him<S>3474</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> her to him<S>4170</S>, that she may be a snare to him<S>3027</S>, and that the hand of the Philistines<S>6430</S> may be against him<S>7586</S>. Therefore Saul said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "You shall this day<S>3117</S> be my son-in<S>2859</S>-law a second time<S>8147</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, "Talk<S>1696</S> with David<S>1732</S> secretly<S>3909</S>, and say<S>559</S>, <S>4428</S> 'Behold, the king has delight<S>2654</S> in you<S>5650</S>, and all his servants love<S>157</S> you<S>4428</S>: now therefore be the king's son-in<S>2859</S>-law.'"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> spoke<S>1696</S> those words<S>1697</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of David<S>1732</S>. David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "Does it seems<S>5869</S> to you a light<S>7043</S> thing to be the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2859</S>-law, since I am a poor<S>7326</S> man<S>376</S>, and lightly esteemed<S>7034</S>?"


text:
The servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, "David<S>1732</S> spoke<S>5046</S> like this<S>1697</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "You shall tell<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, <S>4428</S> 'The king desires<S>2656</S> no dowry<S>4119</S> except one hundred<S>3967</S> foreskins<S>6190</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, to be avenged<S>5358</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s enemies<S>341</S>.'" Now Saul<S>7586</S> thought<S>2803</S> to make David<S>1732</S> fall<S>5307</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
When his servants<S>5650</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> these words<S>1697</S>, it pleased<S>1697</S> David<S>1732</S> well to be the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2859</S>-law. The days<S>3117</S> were not expired<S>4390</S>;


text:
and David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; and David<S>1732</S> brought<S>935</S> their foreskins<S>6190</S>, and they gave them in full number<S>4390</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, that he might be the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2859</S>-law. Saul<S>7586</S> gave<S>5414</S> him Michal<S>4324</S> his daughter<S>1323</S> as wife<S>802</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> and knew<S>3045</S> that Yahweh<S>3068</S> was with David<S>1732</S>; and Michal<S>4324</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, loved him<S>157</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> was yet the more<S>3254</S> afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> was David<S>1732</S>'s enemy<S>341</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went forth<S>3318</S>: and it happened<S>1767</S>, as often as they went forth<S>3318</S>, that David<S>1732</S> behaved himself more wisely<S>7919</S> than all the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; so that his name<S>8034</S> was highly<S>3966</S> esteemed<S>3365</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and to all his servants<S>5650</S>, that they should kill<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S>. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Saul<S>7586</S> my father<S>1</S> seeks<S>1245</S> to kill<S>4191</S> you<S>8104</S>. Now therefore, please take care of yourself in the morning<S>1242</S>, and live<S>3427</S> in a secret<S>5643</S> place<S>2244</S>, and hide yourself.


text:
I will go out<S>3318</S> and stand<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> my father<S>1</S> in the field<S>7704</S> where you are<S>1696</S>, and I will talk with my father<S>1</S> about you<S>4100</S>; and if I see<S>7200</S> anything<S>5046</S>, I will tell you."


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> spoke<S>1696</S> good<S>2896</S> of David<S>1732</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> his father<S>1</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>4428</S>, "Don't let the king sin<S>2398</S> against his servant<S>5650</S>, against David<S>1732</S>; because he has not sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>4639</S>, and because his works have been very<S>3966</S> good toward you<S>2896</S>;


text:
for he put<S>7760</S> his life<S>5315</S> in his hand<S>3709</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and Yahweh<S>3068</S> worked<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> victory<S>8668</S> for all Israel<S>3478</S>. You saw<S>7200</S> it<S>8055</S>, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin<S>2398</S> against innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S>, to kill<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S> without a cause<S>2600</S>?"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> listened<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> swore<S>7650</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, he shall not<S>518</S> be put to death<S>4191</S>."


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> called<S>7121</S> David<S>1732</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> showed<S>5046</S> him all those things<S>1697</S>. Jonathan<S>3083</S> brought<S>935</S> David<S>1732</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and he was in his presence<S>6440</S>, as before<S>865</S>.


text:
There was war<S>4421</S> again<S>3254</S>. David<S>1732</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; and they fled<S>5127</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
An evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from Yahweh<S>3068</S> was on Saul<S>7586</S>, as he sat<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S> with his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; and David<S>1732</S> was playing<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> sought<S>1245</S> to pin<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S> even to the wall<S>7023</S> with the spear<S>2595</S>; but he slipped away<S>6362</S> out of Saul<S>7586</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, and he stuck<S>5221</S> the spear<S>2595</S> into the wall<S>7023</S>. David<S>1732</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S> that night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to David<S>1732</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, to watch<S>8104</S> him<S>4191</S>, and to kill him in the morning<S>1242</S>. Michal<S>4324</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, "If you don<S>4422</S>'t save your life<S>5315</S> tonight<S>3915</S>, tomorrow<S>4279</S> you will be killed<S>4191</S>."


text:
So Michal<S>4324</S> let<S>3381</S> David<S>1732</S> down<S>3381</S> through the window<S>2474</S>. He went<S>3212</S>, fled<S>1272</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S>.


text:
Michal<S>4324</S> took<S>3947</S> the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and laid<S>7760</S> it in the bed<S>4296</S>, and put<S>7760</S> a pillow<S>3523</S> of goats<S>5795</S>' hair at its head<S>4763</S>, and covered<S>3680</S> it with the clothes<S>899</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to take<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>, she said<S>559</S>, "He is sick<S>2470</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> to see<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Bring him up<S>5927</S> to me in the bed<S>4296</S>, that I may kill him<S>4191</S>."


text:
When the messengers<S>4397</S> came in<S>935</S>, behold<S>8655</S>, the teraphim was in<S>935</S> the bed<S>4296</S>, with the pillow<S>3523</S> of goats<S>5795</S>' hair at its head.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Michal<S>4324</S>, "Why have you deceived me thus<S>7411</S>, and let my enemy<S>341</S> go<S>7411</S>, so that he is escaped<S>4422</S>?" Michal<S>4324</S> answered<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, "He said<S>559</S> to me<S>7971</S>, 'Let me go! Why should I kill you<S>4191</S>?'"


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him all that Saul<S>7586</S> had done<S>6213</S> to him<S>8050</S>. He and Samuel went<S>3212</S> and lived<S>3427</S> in Naioth<S>5121</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>1732</S>, David is at Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to take<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>: and when they saw<S>7200</S> the company<S>3862</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesying<S>5012</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S> standing<S>5975</S> as head<S>5324</S> over them<S>7307</S>, the Spirit of God<S>430</S> came on the messengers<S>4397</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and they also prophesied<S>5012</S>.


text:
When it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> other<S>312</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and they also prophesied<S>5012</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>3254</S> the third<S>7992</S> time<S>5012</S>, and they also prophesied.


text:
Then went<S>3212</S> he also to Ramah<S>7414</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the great<S>1419</S> well<S>953</S> that is in Secu<S>7906</S>: and he asked<S>7592</S>, <S>559</S> "Where<S>375</S> are Samuel<S>8050</S> and David<S>1732</S>?" One said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>5121</S>, they are at Naioth in Ramah<S>7414</S>."


text:
He went<S>3212</S> there to Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>. Then the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came on him also<S>3212</S>, and he went on<S>1980</S>, and prophesied<S>5012</S>, until he came<S>935</S> to Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
He also<S>1571</S> stripped off<S>6584</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and he also prophesied<S>5012</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, and lay down<S>5307</S> naked<S>6174</S> all that day<S>3117</S> and all that night<S>3915</S>. Therefore they say<S>559</S>, "Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?"


text:
Hannah<S>2584</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>: "My heart<S>3820</S> exults<S>5970</S> in Yahweh<S>3068</S>! My horn<S>7161</S> is exalted<S>7311</S> in Yahweh<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 your salvation<S>3444</S>.

There is no one as holy<S>6918</S> as Yahweh<S>3068</S>, For there is no one besides<S>1115</S> you<S>6697</S>, nor is there any rock like our God<S>430</S>.

"Talk<S>1696</S> no more<S>7235</S> so exceeding<S>1364</S> proudly<S>1364</S>. Don<S>6277</S>'t let arrogance come<S>3318</S> out of your mouth<S>6310</S>, For Yahweh<S>3068</S> is a God<S>410</S> of knowledge<S>1844</S>. By him actions<S>5949</S> are weighed<S>8505</S>.


text:
"The bows<S>7198</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S> are broken<S>2844</S>. Those who stumbled<S>3782</S> are armed<S>247</S> with strength<S>2428</S>.


text:
Those who were full<S>7649</S> have hired themselves out<S>7936</S> for bread<S>3899</S>. Those who were hungry<S>7457</S> are satisfied<S>2308</S>. Yes<S>6135</S>, the barren has borne<S>3205</S> seven<S>7651</S>. She who has many<S>7227</S> children<S>1121</S> languishes<S>535</S>.

"Yahweh<S>3068</S> kills<S>4191</S>, and makes alive<S>2421</S>. He brings down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S>, and brings up<S>5927</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> makes poor<S>3423</S>, and makes rich<S>6238</S>. He brings low<S>8213</S>, he also<S>637</S> lifts up<S>7311</S>.


text:
He raises up<S>6965</S> the poor<S>1800</S> out of the dust<S>6083</S>. He lifts up<S>7311</S> the needy<S>34</S> from the dunghill<S>830</S>, To make them sit<S>3427</S> with princes<S>5081</S>, and 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> are Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s. He has set<S>7896</S> the world on them<S>8398</S>.


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


text:
Those who strive<S>7378</S> with Yahweh<S>3068</S> shall be broken to pieces<S>2865</S>. He will thunder<S>7481</S> against them in the sky<S>8064</S>. "Yahweh<S>3068</S> will judge<S>1777</S> the ends<S>657</S> of the earth<S>776</S>. He will 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:
Elkanah<S>511</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S> to his house<S>1004</S>. The child<S>5288, 1961</S> served<S>8334</S> Yahweh<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> were base<S>1100</S> men<S>1121</S>; they didn<S>3045</S>'t know Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The custom<S>4941</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> with the people<S>5971</S> was that when any man<S>376</S> offered<S>2076</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, the priest<S>3548</S>'s servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, while the flesh<S>1320</S> was boiling<S>1310</S>, with a fork<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> it into the pan<S>3595</S>, or kettle<S>1731</S>, or caldron<S>7037</S>, or pot<S>6517</S>; all that the fork<S>4207</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> therewith<S>6213</S>. So they did in Shiloh<S>7887</S> to all the Israelites<S>3478</S> who came there<S>935</S>.


text:
Yes<S>6999</S>, before they burnt the fat<S>2459</S>, the priest<S>3548</S>'s servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> who sacrificed<S>2076</S>, "Give<S>5414</S> meat<S>1320</S> to roast<S>6740</S> for the priest<S>3548</S>; for he will not accept<S>3947</S> boiled<S>1310</S> meat<S>1320</S> from you<S>2416</S>, but raw."


text:
If the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>6999</S>, "Let the fat<S>2459</S> be burned<S>6999</S> first<S>3117</S>, and then take<S>3947</S> as much as your soul<S>5315</S> desires<S>183</S>;" then he would say<S>559</S>, "No<S>5414</S>, but you shall give it to me now<S>3947</S>; and if not, I will take it by force<S>2394</S>."


text:
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> Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for the men<S>582</S> despised<S>5006</S> the offering<S>4503</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
But Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, being a child<S>5288</S>, clothed<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> robe<S>4598</S>, and brought<S>5927</S> it 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:
Eli<S>5941</S> blessed<S>1288</S> Elkanah<S>511</S> and his wife<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> give<S>7760</S> you seed<S>2233</S> of this woman<S>802</S> for the petition<S>7596</S> which was asked<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>." They went<S>1980</S> to their own home<S>4725</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> visited<S>6485</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>, and<S>3588</S> 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>. The child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S> before<S>5973</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was very<S>3966</S> old<S>2204</S>; and he heard<S>8085</S> all that his sons<S>1121</S> did<S>6213</S> to all Israel<S>3478</S>, and how that they lay<S>7901</S> with the women<S>802</S> who served<S>6633</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the Tent<S>168</S> of Meeting<S>4150</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to them<S>6213</S>, "Why do you do such things<S>1697</S>? for I hear<S>8085</S> of your evil<S>7451</S> dealings<S>1697</S> from all this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
No<S>1121</S>, my sons; for it is no good<S>2896</S> report<S>8052</S> that I hear<S>8085</S>: you make Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S> disobey<S>5674</S>.


text:
If one man<S>376</S> sin<S>2398</S> against another<S>376</S>, God<S>430</S> shall judge<S>6419</S> him<S>376</S>; but if a man sin<S>2398</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>, who shall entreat<S>6419</S> for him<S>8085</S>?" Notwithstanding, they didn't listen to the voice<S>6963</S> of their father<S>1</S>, because Yahweh<S>3068</S> intended<S>2654</S> to kill them<S>4191</S>.


text:
The child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1432</S> on<S>1980</S>, and increased in favor<S>2896</S> both with Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and also with men<S>582</S>.


text:
A man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>559</S>, "Thus says Yahweh<S>3068</S>, <S>1540</S> 'Did I reveal myself<S>1540</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of your father<S>1</S>, when they were in Egypt<S>4714</S> in bondage to Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s house<S>1004</S>?


text:
Did I choose<S>977</S> him out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to be my priest<S>3548</S>, to go<S>5927</S> up to 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<S>5414</S>? Did I give to the house<S>1004</S> of your father<S>1</S> all the offerings of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> made by fire<S>801</S>?


text:
Why do you kick<S>1163</S> at my sacrifice<S>2077</S> and at my offering<S>2077</S>, which I have commanded<S>6680</S> in my habitation<S>4583</S>, and honor<S>3513</S> your sons<S>1121</S> above me<S>1254</S>, to make yourselves fat with the best<S>7225</S> of all the offerings<S>4503</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> my people<S>5971</S>?'


text:
"Therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, says<S>5002</S>, <S>5002</S> 'I said indeed<S>559</S> that your house<S>1004</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of your father<S>1</S>, should walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>5704</S> forever<S>5769</S>.' But now Yahweh<S>3068</S> says<S>5002</S>, <S>2486</S> 'Be it far from me; for those who honor<S>3513</S> me I will honor<S>3513</S>, and those who despise<S>959</S> me shall be lightly esteemed<S>7043</S>.


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


text:
You shall see<S>5027</S> the affliction<S>6862</S> of my habitation<S>4583</S>, in all the wealth which I shall give<S>3190</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and there shall not be an old man<S>2205</S> in your house<S>1004</S> forever<S>3117</S>.


text:
The man<S>376</S> of yours<S>3772</S>, whom I shall not cut off from my altar<S>4196</S>, shall consume<S>3615</S> your eyes<S>5869</S>, and grieve<S>109</S> your heart<S>5315</S>; and all the increase<S>4768</S> of your house<S>1004</S> shall die<S>4191</S> in the flower of their age<S>582</S>.

<S>226</S>"'This shall be the sign to you<S>935</S>, that shall come on your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, on Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>: in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> they shall both<S>8147</S> die<S>4191</S>.


text:
I will raise me up<S>6965</S> a faithful<S>539</S> priest<S>3548</S>, that shall do<S>6213</S> according to that which is in my heart<S>3824</S> and in my mind<S>5315</S>. I will build<S>1129</S> him a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>; and he shall walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> my anointed<S>4899</S> forever<S>3117</S>.


text:
It shall happen<S>3498</S>, that everyone who is left in your house<S>1004</S> shall come<S>935</S> and bow down<S>7812</S> to him for a piece<S>95</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and a loaf<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and shall say<S>559</S>, "Please put<S>5596</S> me into one<S>259</S> of the priests<S>3550</S>' offices, that I may eat<S>398</S> a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S>."'"


text:
David<S>1732</S> fled<S>1272</S> from Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>, and came<S>935</S> and said<S>559</S> before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, "What have I done<S>6213</S>? What is my iniquity<S>5771</S>? What is my sin<S>2403</S> before<S>6440</S> your father<S>1</S>, that he seeks<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>?"


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>2486</S>, "Far from it; you shall not die<S>4191</S>. Behold<S>1</S>, my father does<S>6213</S> nothing<S>1697</S> either great<S>1419</S> or small<S>6996</S>, but that he discloses<S>1540</S> it to me<S>1</S>; and why should my father hide<S>5641</S> this thing from me<S>1697</S>? It is not so."


text:
David<S>1732</S> swore<S>7650</S> moreover<S>559</S>, and said, "Your father<S>1</S> knows<S>3045</S> well<S>3045</S> that I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>; and he says<S>559</S>, <S>3083</S> 'Don't let Jonathan know<S>3045</S> this<S>6087</S>, lest he be grieved:' but truly<S>199</S> as Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there is but a step<S>6587</S> between me and death<S>4194</S>."


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Whatever your soul<S>5315</S> desires<S>559</S>, I will even do it for you<S>6213</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>, "Behold<S>4279</S>, tomorrow is the new moon<S>2320</S>, and I should not fail<S>3427</S> to dine<S>398</S> with<S>3427</S> the king<S>4428</S>; but let me go<S>7971</S>, that I may hide<S>5641</S> myself in the field<S>7704</S> to the third<S>7992</S> day at evening<S>6153</S>.


text:
If your father<S>1</S> miss<S>6485</S> me at all<S>6485</S>, then say<S>559</S>, <S>1732</S> 'David earnestly<S>7592</S> asked<S>7592</S> leave of me that he might run<S>7323</S> to Bethlehem<S>1035</S> his city<S>5892</S>; for it is the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> there for all the family<S>4940</S>.'


text:
If he says<S>559</S>, <S>2896</S> 'It is well;' your servant<S>5650</S> shall have peace<S>7965</S>: but if he be<S>2734</S> angry<S>2734</S>, then know<S>3045</S> that evil<S>7451</S> is determined by him<S>3615</S>.


text:
Therefore deal<S>6213</S> kindly<S>2617</S> with your servant<S>5650</S>; for you have brought<S>935</S> your servant<S>5650</S> into a covenant<S>1285</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> with you<S>3426</S>: but if there is iniquity<S>5771</S> in me<S>4191</S>, kill me yourself<S>935</S>; for why should you bring me to your father<S>1</S>?"


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S>, "Far be it from you<S>2486</S>; for if I should at all<S>3045</S> know<S>3045</S> that evil<S>7451</S> were determined<S>3615</S> by my father<S>1</S> to come<S>935</S> on you<S>5046</S>, then wouldn't I tell you that?"


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>, "Who shall tell<S>5046</S> me if perchance your father<S>1</S> answers<S>6030</S> you roughly<S>7186</S>?"


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>." They both<S>8147</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "By Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when I have sounded<S>2713</S> my father<S>1</S> about this time<S>6256</S> tomorrow<S>4279</S>, or the third<S>7992</S> day<S>4279</S>, behold<S>2895</S>, if there is good toward David<S>1732</S>, shall I not then send to you<S>7971</S>, and disclose it to you?


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and more<S>3254</S> also<S>3190</S>, should it please my father<S>1</S> to do you evil<S>7451</S>, if I don<S>1540</S>'t disclose it to you<S>7971</S>, and send you away, that you may go<S>1980</S> in peace<S>7965</S>: and Yahweh<S>3068</S> be with you<S>1</S>, as he has been with my father.


text:
You shall not only while yet<S>518</S> I live<S>2416</S> show<S>6213</S> me the loving kindness<S>2617</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that I not die<S>4191</S>;


text:
but also you shall not cut off<S>3772</S> your kindness<S>2617</S> from my house<S>1004, Philippians4</S> forever<S>5769</S>; no<S>3068</S>, not when Yahweh has cut off<S>3772</S> the enemies<S>341</S> of David<S>1732</S> everyone<S>376</S> from the surface<S>6440</S> of the earth<S>127</S>."


text:
So Jonathan<S>3083</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>3068</S>, "Yahweh will require<S>1245</S> it at the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>'s enemies<S>341</S>."


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> caused David<S>1732</S> to swear<S>7650</S> again<S>3254</S>, for the love<S>160</S> that he had to him<S>157</S>; for he loved him as he loved<S>160</S> his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1732</S>, "Tomorrow<S>4279</S> is the new moon<S>2320</S>: and you will be missed<S>6485</S>, because your seat<S>4186</S> will be empty<S>6485</S>.


text:
When you have stayed three days<S>8027</S>, you shall go<S>935</S> down<S>3381</S> quickly<S>3966</S>, and come<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where you hid<S>5641</S> yourself when<S>3117</S> this started<S>3427</S>, and shall remain by<S>681</S> the stone<S>68</S> Ezel<S>237</S>.


text:
I will shoot<S>3384</S> three<S>7969</S> arrows<S>2671</S> on its side<S>6654</S>, as though I shot<S>7971</S> at a mark<S>4307</S>.

Behold<S>7971</S>, I will send the boy<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3212</S> 'Go, find<S>4672</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>!' If I tell<S>559</S> the boy<S>5288</S>, <S>2671</S> 'Behold, the arrows are on this side of you<S>3947</S>. Take them<S>935</S>;' then come; for there is peace<S>7965</S> to you and no hurt<S>1697</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>.


text:
But if I say<S>559</S> this to the boy<S>5958</S>, <S>2671</S> 'Behold, the arrows are beyond<S>1973</S> you<S>3212</S>;' then go your way; for Yahweh<S>3068</S> has sent you away<S>7971</S>.


text:
Concerning the matter<S>1697</S> which you and I have spoken<S>1696</S> of<S>3068</S>, behold, Yahweh is between you and me<S>5704</S> forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> hid<S>5641</S> himself in the field<S>7704</S>: and when the new moon<S>2320</S> had come<S>4428</S>, the king sat him down<S>3427</S> to eat<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> sat<S>3427</S> on his seat<S>4186</S>, as at other times<S>6471</S>, even on the seat<S>4186</S> by the wall<S>7023</S>; and Jonathan<S>3083</S> stood up<S>6965</S>, and Abner<S>74</S> sat<S>3427</S> by Saul<S>7586</S>'s side<S>6654</S>: but David<S>1732</S>'s place<S>4725</S> was empty<S>6485</S>.


text:
Nevertheless Saul<S>7586</S> didn<S>1696</S>'t say anything<S>3972</S> that day<S>3117</S>: for he thought<S>559</S>, "Something has happened<S>4745</S> to him<S>1115</S>. He is not clean<S>2889</S>. Surely he is not clean<S>2889</S>."


text:
It happened on the next day<S>4283</S> after the new moon<S>2320</S>, the second<S>8145</S> day<S>1732</S>, that David's place<S>4725</S> was empty<S>6485</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>, "Why doesn<S>1121</S>'t the son of Jesse<S>3448</S> come<S>935</S> to eat<S>3899</S>, neither yesterday<S>8543</S>, nor today<S>3117</S>?"


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, "David<S>1732</S> earnestly<S>7592</S> asked<S>7592</S> leave of me<S>5978</S> to go to Bethlehem<S>1035</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S>, <S>7971</S> 'Please let me go, for our family<S>4940</S> has a sacrifice<S>2077</S> in the city<S>5892</S>. My brother<S>251</S> has commanded<S>6680</S> me to be there<S>4672</S>. Now, if I have found favor<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>, please let me go away<S>4422</S> and see<S>7200</S> my brothers<S>251</S>.' Therefore he has not come<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s table<S>7979</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and he said<S>559</S> to him<S>1121</S>, "You son of a perverse<S>5753</S> rebellious<S>4780</S> woman<S>3045</S>, don't I know that you have chosen<S>977</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> to your own shame<S>1322</S>, and to the shame<S>1322</S> of your mother<S>517</S>'s nakedness<S>6172</S>?


text:
For as long as<S>3117</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> lives<S>2425</S> on the earth<S>127</S>, you shall not be established<S>3559</S>, nor your kingdom<S>4438</S>. Therefore now send<S>7971</S> and bring<S>3947</S> him to me<S>1121</S>, for he shall surely die!"


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S> his father<S>1</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>4191</S>, "Why should he be put to death? What has he done<S>6213</S>?"


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> cast<S>2904</S> his spear<S>2595</S> at him to strike<S>5221</S> him<S>3083</S>. By this Jonathan knew<S>3045</S> that his father<S>1</S> was determined<S>3617</S> to put David<S>1732</S> to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Jonathan<S>3083</S> arose<S>6965</S> from the table<S>7979</S> in fierce<S>2750</S> anger<S>639</S>, and ate<S>398</S> no food<S>3899</S> the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S>; for he was grieved<S>6087</S> for David<S>1732</S>, because his father<S>1</S> had done him shame<S>3637</S>.


text:
It happened in the morning<S>1242</S>, that Jonathan<S>3083</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> at the time appointed<S>4150</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and a little<S>6996</S> boy with him<S>5288</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to his boy<S>5288</S>, "Run<S>7323</S>, find<S>4672</S> now the arrows<S>2671</S> which I shoot<S>3384</S>." As the boy<S>5288</S> ran<S>7323</S>, he shot<S>3384</S> an arrow<S>2678</S> beyond him<S>5674</S>.


text:
When the boy<S>5288</S> had come<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> of the arrow<S>2678</S> which Jonathan<S>3083</S> had shot<S>3384</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S> cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> the boy<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Isn<S>2678</S>'t the arrow beyond you<S>1973</S>?"


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> the boy<S>5288</S>, "Go fast<S>4120</S>! Hurry! Don<S>5975</S>'t delay<S>2363</S>!" Jonathan<S>3083</S>'s boy<S>5288</S> gathered up<S>3950</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>, and came<S>935</S> to his master<S>113</S>.


text:
But the boy<S>5288</S> didn<S>3045</S>'t know anything<S>3972</S>. Only Jonathan<S>3083</S> and David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> the matter<S>1697</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> gave<S>5414</S> his weapons<S>3627</S> to his boy<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>3212</S>, "Go, carry<S>935</S> them to the city<S>5892</S>."


text:
As soon as the boy<S>5288</S> was gone<S>935</S>, David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> out of the south<S>5045</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>. They kissed<S>5401</S> one<S>376</S> another<S>7453</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> one<S>376</S> with another<S>7453</S>, and David<S>1732</S> wept<S>1058</S> the most<S>1431</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, because we have both<S>8147</S> sworn<S>7650</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3068</S> 'Yahweh shall be between me and you<S>2233</S>, and between my seed and your seed<S>2233</S>, <S>5704</S> forever<S>5769</S>.'" He arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3212</S>; and Jonathan<S>3083</S> went<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> David<S>1732</S> to Nob<S>5011</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>. Ahimelech<S>288</S> came to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S> trembling<S>2729</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>376</S>, "Why are you alone, and no man with you?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, "The king<S>4428</S> has commanded<S>6680</S> me a business<S>1697</S>, and has said<S>559</S> to me<S>376</S>, 'Let no man know<S>3045</S> anything<S>3972</S> of the business<S>1697</S> about which I send<S>7971</S> you<S>6680</S>, and what I have commanded you<S>6680</S>; and I have appointed the young men<S>5288</S> to such<S>6423</S> and such<S>492</S> a place<S>4725</S>.'


text:
Now therefore what is<S>3426</S> under your hand<S>3027</S>? Give<S>5414</S> me five<S>2568</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>, or whatever there is present<S>4672</S>."


text:
The priest<S>3548</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, "There is no common<S>2455</S> bread<S>3899</S> under my hand<S>3027</S>, but there is<S>3426</S> holy<S>6944</S> bread<S>3899</S>; if only the young men<S>5288</S> have kept<S>8104</S> themselves from<S>389</S> women<S>802</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and said<S>6030</S> to him<S>518</S>, "Truly, women<S>802</S> have been kept<S>6113</S> from us about these three<S>8032</S> days<S>8543</S>. When I came out<S>3318</S>, the vessels<S>3627</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> were holy<S>6944</S>, though it was but a common<S>2455</S> journey<S>1870</S>. How much more then today<S>3117</S> shall their vessels<S>3627</S> be holy<S>6942</S>?"


text:
So the priest<S>3548</S> gave<S>5414</S> him holy<S>6944</S> bread<S>3899</S>; for there was no bread there but the show bread<S>3899</S>, that was taken<S>5493</S> from before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, to put<S>7760</S> hot<S>2527</S> bread<S>3899</S> in the day<S>3117</S> when it was taken away<S>3947</S>.


text:
Now a certain man<S>376</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> was there that day<S>3117</S>, detained<S>6113</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>; and his name<S>8034</S> was Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>, the best<S>47</S> of the herdsmen<S>7462</S> who belonged to Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S>, "Isn<S>371</S>'t there<S>3426</S> here under your hand<S>3027</S> spear<S>2595</S> or sword<S>2719</S>? For I have neither brought<S>3947</S> my sword<S>2719</S> nor my weapons<S>3627</S> with me<S>3027</S>, because the king<S>4428</S>'s business<S>1697</S> required<S>1961</S> haste<S>5169</S>."


text:
The priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S>, "The sword<S>2719</S> of Goliath<S>1555</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, whom you killed<S>5221</S> in the valley<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, behold<S>3874</S>, it is here wrapped in a cloth<S>8071</S> behind<S>310</S> the ephod<S>646</S>. If you will take<S>3947</S> that<S>3947</S>, take it<S>312</S>; for there is no other except<S>2108</S> that here<S>2088</S>." David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "There is none like that<S>5414</S>. Give it to me."


text:
David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> that day<S>3117</S> for fear<S>6440</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and went<S>935</S> to Achish<S>397</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
The servants<S>5650</S> of Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1732</S>, "Isn't this David the king<S>4428</S> of the land<S>776</S>? Didn<S>6030</S>'t they sing one to another about him<S>2088</S> in dances<S>4246</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>7586</S> 'Saul has slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>505</S>?'"


text:
David<S>1732</S> laid up<S>7760</S> these words<S>1697</S> in his heart<S>3824</S>, and was very<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> Achish<S>397</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
He changed<S>8138</S> his behavior<S>2940</S> before<S>5869</S> them<S>1984</S>, and pretended to be mad in their hands<S>3027</S>, and scrabbled<S>8427</S> on the doors<S>1817</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>, and let his spittle<S>7388</S> fall down<S>3381</S> on his beard<S>2206</S>.


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Look<S>7200</S>, you see the man<S>376</S> is mad<S>7696</S>. Why then have you brought him to me<S>935</S>?


text:
Do I lack<S>2638</S> madmen<S>7696</S>, that you have brought<S>935</S> this fellow to play the madman<S>7696</S> in my presence<S>935</S>? Shall this fellow come into my house<S>1004</S>?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore departed<S>3212</S> there<S>4422</S>, and escaped to the cave<S>4631</S> of Adullam<S>5725</S>. When his brothers<S>251</S> and all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3381</S>, they went down there to him.


text:
Everyone<S>376</S> who was in distress<S>4689</S>, and everyone<S>376</S> who was in debt<S>5378</S>, and everyone<S>376</S> who was discontented<S>4751</S>, gathered<S>6908</S> themselves to him<S>8269</S>; and he became captain over them<S>702</S>: and there were with him about four hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> there to Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and he said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, "Please let my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S> come out<S>3318</S> with you<S>3045</S>, until I know what God<S>430</S> will do for me<S>6213</S>."


text:
He brought<S>5148</S> them before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>; and they lived<S>3427</S> with him all the while<S>3117</S> that David<S>1732</S> was in the stronghold<S>4686</S>.


text:
The prophet<S>5030</S> Gad<S>1410</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Don<S>3427</S>'t stay in the stronghold<S>4686</S>. Depart<S>3212</S>, and go<S>935</S> into the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>." Then David<S>1732</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> into the forest<S>3293</S> of Hereth<S>2802</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> heard<S>8085</S> that David<S>1732</S> was discovered<S>3045</S>, and the men<S>582</S> who were with him<S>7586</S>. Now Saul was sitting<S>3427</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>, under the tamarisk tree<S>815</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>, with his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and all his servants<S>5650</S> were standing about him<S>5324</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S> who stood<S>5324</S> about him<S>8085</S>, "Hear now, you Benjamites<S>1145</S>! Will the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> give<S>5414</S> everyone of you fields<S>7704</S> and vineyards<S>3754</S>, will he make<S>7760</S> you all captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>,


text:
that all of you have conspired<S>7194</S> against me<S>1540</S>, and there is none who discloses to me when my son<S>1121</S> makes a treaty<S>3772</S> with the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>, and there is none of you who is sorry<S>2470</S> for me<S>1540</S>, or discloses to me that my son<S>1121</S> has stirred up<S>6965</S> my servant<S>5650</S> against me<S>693</S>, to lie in wait, as at this day<S>3117</S>?"


text:
Then Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>, who stood<S>5324</S> by the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, answered<S>559</S> and said<S>559</S>, "I saw<S>7200</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> coming<S>935</S> to Nob<S>5011</S>, to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>.


text:
He inquired<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> for him<S>5414</S>, gave him food<S>6720</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him the sword<S>2719</S> of Goliath<S>1555</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>."


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> to call<S>7121</S> Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, and all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, the priests<S>3548</S> who were in Nob<S>5011</S>: and they came<S>935</S> all of them to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Hear<S>8085</S> now<S>1121</S>, you son of Ahitub<S>285</S>." He answered<S>559</S>, "Here I am<S>113</S>, my lord."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>7194</S>, "Why have you conspired against me<S>1121</S>, you and the son of Jesse<S>3448</S>, in that you have given<S>5414</S> him bread<S>3899</S>, and a sword<S>2719</S>, and have inquired<S>7592</S> of God<S>430</S> for him<S>6965</S>, that he should rise against me<S>693</S>, to lie in wait, as at this day<S>3117</S>?"


text:
Then Ahimelech<S>288</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Who among all your servants<S>5650</S> is so faithful<S>539</S> as David<S>1732</S>, who is the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2860</S>-law, and is taken<S>5493</S> into your council<S>4928</S>, and is honorable<S>3513</S> in your house<S>1004</S>?

Have I today<S>3117</S> begun<S>2490</S> to inquire<S>7592</S> of God<S>430</S> for him<S>2486</S>? Be it far from me! Don<S>4428</S>'t let the king impute<S>7760</S> anything<S>1697</S> to his servant<S>5650</S>, nor to all the house<S>1004</S> of my father<S>1</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> knows<S>3045</S> nothing<S>1697</S> of all this<S>6996</S>, less or more<S>1419</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, "You shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, Ahimelech<S>288</S>, you<S>1</S>, and all your father's house<S>1004</S>."


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to the guard<S>7323</S> who stood<S>5324</S> about him<S>5437</S>, "Turn, and kill<S>4191</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; because their hand<S>3027</S> also is with David<S>1732</S>, and because they knew<S>3045</S> that he fled<S>1272</S>, and didn<S>1540</S>'t disclose it to me<S>5650</S>." But the servants of the king<S>4428</S> wouldn<S>14</S>'t put forth<S>7971</S> their hand<S>3027</S> to fall<S>6293</S> on the priests<S>3548</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Doeg<S>1673</S>, "Turn<S>5437</S> and attack<S>6293</S> the priests<S>3548</S>!" Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S> turned<S>5437</S>, and he attacked<S>6293</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, and he killed<S>4191</S> on that day<S>3117</S> eighty<S>8084</S> - five<S>2568</S> people<S>376</S> who wore<S>5375</S> a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
He struck<S>5221</S> Nob<S>5011</S>, the city<S>5892</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, both men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, children<S>5768</S> and nursing<S>3243</S> babies<S>7794</S>, and cattle and donkeys<S>2543</S> and sheep<S>7716</S>, with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
One<S>259</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, named<S>8034</S> Abiathar<S>54</S>, escaped<S>4422</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Abiathar<S>54</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had slain<S>2026</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abiathar<S>54</S>, "I knew<S>3045</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, when Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S> was there<S>5046</S>, that he would surely tell<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>. I am responsible<S>5437</S> for the death of all the persons<S>5315</S> of your father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Stay<S>3427</S> with me<S>3372</S>, don't be afraid; for he who seeks<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S> seeks<S>1245</S> your life<S>5315</S>. For with me you shall be in safeguard<S>4931</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> was told<S>5046</S>, "Behold<S>6430</S>, the Philistines are fighting<S>3898</S> against Keilah<S>7084</S>, and are robbing<S>8154</S> the threshing floors<S>1637</S>."


text:
Therefore David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Shall I go<S>3212</S> and strike<S>5221</S> these Philistines<S>6430</S>?" Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Go<S>3212</S> strike<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and save<S>3467</S> Keilah<S>7084</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S>'s men<S>582</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3373</S>, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah<S>3063</S>: how much more then if we go<S>3212</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S> against the armies<S>4634</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>?"


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> yet again<S>3254</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> answered<S>6030</S> him<S>6030</S>, and said, "Arise<S>6965</S>, go down<S>3381</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>; for I will deliver<S>5414</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and brought away<S>5090</S> their livestock<S>4735</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>. So David<S>1732</S> saved<S>3467</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S>.


text:
It happened<S>54</S>, when Abiathar the son<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S> fled<S>1272</S> to David<S>1732</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, that he came down<S>3381</S> with an ephod<S>646</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> had come<S>935</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "God<S>430</S> has delivered<S>5234</S> him into my hand<S>3027</S>; for he is shut in<S>5462</S>, by entering<S>935</S> into a town<S>5892</S> that has gates<S>1817</S> and bars<S>1280</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> summoned<S>8085</S> all the people<S>5971</S> to<S>8085</S> war<S>4421</S>, to go down<S>3381</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, to besiege<S>6696</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was devising<S>2790</S> mischief<S>7451</S> against him<S>559</S>; and he said to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, "Bring the ephod<S>646</S> here<S>5066</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "O Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, your servant<S>5650</S> has surely<S>8085</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> seeks<S>1245</S> to come<S>935</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, to destroy<S>7843</S> the city for my sake<S>5892</S>.


text:
Will the men<S>1167</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S> deliver me up<S>5462</S> into his hand<S>3027</S>? Will Saul<S>7586</S> come down<S>3381</S>, as your servant<S>5650</S> has heard<S>8085</S>? Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I beg you<S>5046</S>, tell your servant<S>5650</S>." Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, "He will come down<S>3381</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "Will the men<S>1167</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S> deliver<S>5462</S> me and my men<S>582</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>?" Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, "They will deliver you up<S>5462</S>."


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S>, who were about six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3318</S> out of Keilah<S>7084</S>, and went<S>1980</S> wherever<S>834</S> they could go<S>1980</S>. It was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was escaped<S>4422</S> from Keilah<S>7084</S>; and he gave<S>2308</S> up going there<S>3318</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> in the strongholds<S>4679</S>, and remained<S>3427</S> in the hill<S>2022</S> country in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> sought<S>1245</S> him every day<S>3117</S>, but God<S>430</S> didn<S>5414</S>'t deliver him into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had come out<S>3318</S> to seek<S>1245</S> his life<S>5315</S>. David<S>1732</S> was in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>.


text:
Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to David<S>1732</S> into the woods<S>2793</S>, and strengthened<S>2388</S> his hand<S>3027</S> in God<S>430</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to him<S>3372</S>, "Don't be afraid; for the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> my father<S>1</S> shall not find<S>4672</S> you<S>4427</S>; and you shall be king over Israel<S>3478</S>, and I shall be next<S>4932</S> to you<S>7586</S>; and that also Saul my father<S>1</S> knows<S>3045</S>."


text:
They both<S>8147</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>: and David<S>1732</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in the woods<S>2793</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> went<S>1980</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then the Ziphites<S>2130</S> came up<S>5927</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Doesn<S>1732</S>'t David hide<S>5641</S> himself with us in the strongholds<S>4679</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>, in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is on the south<S>3225</S> of the desert<S>3452</S>?


text:
Now therefore<S>4428</S>, O king, come down<S>3381</S>, according to all the desire<S>185</S> of your soul<S>5315</S> to come down<S>3381</S>; and our part shall be to deliver<S>5462</S> him up into the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "You are blessed<S>1288</S> by Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for you have had compassion on me<S>2550</S>.


text:
Please go<S>3212</S> make<S>3559</S> yet more sure<S>3045</S>, and know and see<S>7200</S> his place<S>4725</S> where his haunt<S>7272</S> is<S>7200</S>, and who has seen him there<S>559</S>; for it is told me that he deals very<S>6191</S> subtly<S>6191</S>.


text:
See<S>7200</S> therefore<S>3045</S>, and take knowledge of all the lurking places<S>4224</S> where he hides<S>2244</S> himself<S>7725</S>, and come again to me with certainty<S>3559</S>, and I will go<S>1980</S> with you<S>3426</S>: and it shall happen, if he is in the land<S>776</S>, that I will search<S>2664</S> him out among all the thousands<S>505</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>."


text:
They arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Ziph<S>2128</S> before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>: but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> were in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>, in the Arabah<S>6160</S> on the south<S>3225</S> of the desert<S>3452</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to seek<S>1245</S> him<S>1732</S>. When David was told<S>5046</S>, he went down<S>3381</S> to the rock<S>5553</S>, and stayed<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>. When Saul<S>7586</S> heard<S>8085</S> that<S>7291</S>, he pursued <S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> went<S>3212</S> on this side<S>6654</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>, and David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> on that side<S>6654</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>: and David<S>1732</S> made haste<S>2648</S> to get away<S>3212</S> for fear<S>6440</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> and his men<S>582</S> surrounded<S>5849</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> to<S>5849</S> take them<S>8610</S>.


text:
But a messenger<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Hurry<S>4116</S> and come<S>3212</S>; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> have made a raid<S>6584</S> on the land<S>776</S>!"


text:
So Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>: therefore they called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Sela Hammahlekoth<S>5555</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> from there<S>3427</S>, and lived in the strongholds<S>4679</S> of En Gedi<S>5872</S>.


text:
It happened<S>7586</S>, when Saul was returned<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, that it was told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, "Behold<S>1732</S>, David is in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of En Gedi<S>5872</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> out of all Israel<S>3478</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to seek<S>1245</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> on<S>6440</S> the rocks<S>6697</S> of the wild goats<S>3277</S>.


text:
He came<S>935</S> to the sheep pens<S>1448</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, where there was a cave<S>4631</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went in<S>935</S> to relieve<S>5526</S> himself<S>7272</S>. Now David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> were abiding<S>3427</S> in the innermost parts<S>3411</S> of the cave<S>4631</S>.


text:
The men<S>582</S> of David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3117</S>, "Behold, the day of which Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to you<S>5414</S>, 'Behold, I will deliver your enemy<S>341</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>, and you shall do<S>6213</S> to him as it shall seem good<S>3190</S> to you<S>5869</S>.'" Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and cut off<S>3772</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s robe<S>4598</S> secretly<S>3909</S>.


text:
It happened afterward<S>310</S>, that David<S>1732</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> struck<S>5221</S> him<S>3772</S>, because he had cut off Saul<S>7586</S>'s skirt<S>3671</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to his men<S>582</S>, "Yahweh<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> that I should do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> to my lord<S>113</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>, to put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against him<S>3068</S>, since he is Yahweh's anointed<S>4899</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> checked<S>8156</S> his men<S>582</S> with these words<S>1697</S>, and didn<S>5414</S>'t allow them to rise<S>6965</S> against Saul<S>7586</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> rose up<S>6965</S> out of the cave<S>4631</S>, and went<S>3212</S> on his way<S>1870</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> also arose<S>6965</S> afterward<S>3318</S>, and went out of the cave<S>4631</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "My lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>!" When Saul<S>7586</S> looked<S>5027</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>1732</S>, David bowed<S>6915</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and showed respect<S>7812</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Why do you listen<S>8085</S> to men<S>120</S>'s words<S>1697</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>1732</S> 'Behold, David seeks<S>1245</S> your hurt<S>7451</S>?'


text:
Behold<S>3117</S>, this day your eyes<S>5869</S> have seen<S>7200</S> how that Yahweh<S>3068</S> had delivered<S>5414</S> you today<S>3117</S> into my hand<S>3027</S> in the cave<S>4631</S>. Some urged<S>559</S> me to kill<S>2026</S> you<S>2347</S>; but I spared you<S>559</S>; and I said, I will not put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against my lord<S>113</S>; for he is Yahweh<S>113</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
Moreover<S>1</S>, my father, behold<S>7200</S>, yes<S>7200</S>, see the skirt<S>3671</S> of your robe<S>4598</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>; for in that I cut off<S>3772</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of your robe<S>4598</S>, and didn<S>2026</S>'t kill you<S>3045</S>, know and see<S>7200</S> that there is neither evil<S>7451</S> nor disobedience<S>6588</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>, and I have not sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>6658</S>, though you hunt for my life<S>5315</S> to take it<S>3947</S>.


text:
May Yahweh<S>3068</S> judge<S>8199</S> between me and you<S>3068</S>, and may Yahweh avenge<S>5358</S> me of you<S>3027</S>; but my hand shall not be on you.


text:
As the proverb<S>4912</S> of the ancients<S>6931</S> says<S>559</S>, <S>7563</S> 'Out of the wicked comes<S>3318</S> forth wickedness<S>7562</S>;' but my hand shall not be on you<S>3027</S>.

Against<S>310</S> whom has the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> come out<S>3318</S>? Whom<S>310</S> do you pursue<S>7291</S>? A<S>310</S> dead<S>4191</S> dog<S>3611</S>? <S>310</S> A<S>259</S> flea<S>6550</S>?


text:
May Yahweh<S>3068</S> therefore be judge<S>1781</S>, and give sentence<S>8199</S> between me and you<S>7200</S>, and see, and plead<S>7378</S> my cause<S>7379</S>, and deliver<S>8199</S> me out of your hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
It came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David had made an end<S>3615</S> of speaking<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, that Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "Is this your voice<S>6963</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>?" Saul<S>7586</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "You are more righteous<S>6662</S> than I<S>1580</S>; for you have done good<S>2896</S> to me<S>1580</S>, whereas I have done evil to you<S>7451</S>.


text:
You have declared<S>5046</S> this day<S>3117</S> how you have dealt<S>6213</S> well<S>2896</S> with me<S>3068</S>, because when Yahweh had delivered<S>5462</S> me up into your hand<S>3027</S>, you didn<S>2026</S>'t kill me.


text:
For if a man<S>376</S> finds<S>4672</S> his enemy<S>341</S>, will he let him go<S>7971</S> away<S>1870</S> unharmed<S>2896</S>? Therefore may Yahweh<S>3068</S> reward<S>7999</S> you good<S>2896</S> for that which you have done<S>6213</S> to me this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now<S>3045</S>, behold, I know that you shall surely<S>4427</S> be king<S>4427</S>, and that the kingdom<S>4467</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall be established<S>6965</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Swear<S>7650</S> now therefore to me by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, that you will not<S>518</S> cut off<S>3772</S> my seed<S>2233</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>8045</S>, and that you will not destroy my name<S>8034</S> out of my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> swore<S>7650</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> went<S>3212</S> home<S>1004</S>; but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went up<S>5927</S> to the stronghold<S>4686</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> died<S>4191</S>; and all Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and lamented<S>5594</S> him<S>6912</S>, and buried him in his house<S>1004</S> at Ramah<S>7414</S>. David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Paran<S>6290</S>.


text:
There was a man<S>376</S> in Maon<S>4584</S>, whose possessions<S>4639</S> were in Carmel<S>3760</S>; and the man<S>376</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S>, and he had three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> goats<S>5795</S>: and he was shearing<S>1494</S> his sheep<S>6629</S> in Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of the man<S>376</S> was Nabal<S>5037</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his wife<S>802</S> Abigail<S>26</S>; and the woman<S>802</S> was of good<S>2896</S> understanding<S>7922</S>, and of a beautiful<S>3303</S> face<S>8389</S>: but the man<S>376</S> was churlish<S>7186</S> and evil<S>7451</S> in his doings<S>4611</S>; and he was of the house of Caleb<S>3614</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> that Nabal<S>5037</S> was shearing<S>1494</S> his sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> ten<S>6235</S> young men<S>5288</S>, and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to the young men<S>5288</S>, "Go up<S>5927</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, and go<S>935</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S>, and greet<S>7592</S> him in my name<S>8034</S>.


text:
You shall tell<S>559</S> him<S>2416</S>, <S>7965</S> 'Long life to you! Peace be to you<S>7965</S>, and peace be to your house<S>1004</S>, and peace be to all that you have<S>7965</S>.


text:
Now I have heard<S>8085</S> that you have shearers<S>1494</S>. Your shepherds<S>7462</S> have now been with us<S>3637</S>, and we didn't hurt them<S>3972</S>, neither was there anything missing<S>6485</S> from them<S>3117</S>, all the while they were in Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
Ask<S>7592</S> your young men<S>5288</S>, and they will tell<S>5046</S> you<S>5288</S>. Therefore, let the young men find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>; for we come<S>935</S> in a good<S>2896</S> day<S>3117</S>. Please give<S>5414</S> whatever comes<S>4672</S> to your hand<S>3027</S>, to your servants<S>5650</S>, and to your son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>.'"


text:
When David<S>1732</S>'s young men<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, they spoke<S>1696</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S> according to all those words<S>1697</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and ceased<S>5117</S>.


text:
Nabal<S>5037</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, "Who is David<S>1732</S>? Who is the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>? There are many<S>7231</S> servants<S>5650</S> who<S>376</S> break away<S>6555</S> from<S>6440</S> their masters<S>113</S> these days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Shall I then take<S>3947</S> my bread<S>3899</S>, and my water<S>4325</S>, and my meat<S>2878</S> that I have killed<S>2873</S> for my shearers<S>1494</S>, and give<S>5414</S> it to men<S>582</S> who I don<S>3045</S>'t know where they come from?"


text:
So David<S>1732</S>'s young men<S>5288</S> turned<S>2015</S> on their way<S>1870</S>, and went back<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> him according to all these words<S>1697</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to his men<S>582</S>, "Every man<S>582</S> put on<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S>!" Every man<S>376</S> put on<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S>. David<S>1732</S> also put on<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S>. About four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376, 5927</S> followed<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>; and two hundred<S>3967</S> stayed<S>3427</S> by the baggage<S>3627</S>.


text:
But one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> told<S>5046</S> Abigail<S>26</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>1732</S>, David sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> out of the wilderness<S>4057</S> to Greet<S>1288</S> our master<S>113</S>; and he railed at them<S>5860</S>.


text:
But the men<S>582</S> were very<S>3966</S> good<S>2896</S> to us<S>3637</S>, and we were not hurt, neither missed<S>6485</S> we anything<S>3972</S>, as long as<S>3117</S> we went<S>1980</S> with them<S>7704</S>, when we were in the fields.


text:
They were a wall<S>2346</S> to us both by night<S>3915</S> and by day<S>3119</S>, all the while<S>3117</S> we were with them keeping<S>7462</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
Now therefore know<S>3045</S> and consider<S>7200</S> what you will do<S>6213</S>; for evil<S>7451</S> is determined<S>3615</S> against our master<S>113</S>, and against all his house<S>1004</S>; for he is such a worthless<S>1100</S> fellow<S>1121</S> that one can<S>1696</S>'t speak to him."


text:
Then Abigail<S>26</S> hurried<S>4116</S> and took<S>3947</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> loaves<S>3899</S> of bread<S>8147</S>, two bottles<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, five<S>2568</S> sheep<S>6629</S> ready dressed<S>6213</S>, five<S>2568</S> measures<S>5429</S> of parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>3967</S>, one hundred clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>, and two hundred<S>3967</S> cakes<S>1690</S> of figs<S>7760</S>, and laid them on donkeys<S>2543</S>.


text:
She said<S>559</S> to her young men<S>5288</S>, "Go on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>935</S>. Behold, I come after<S>310</S> you<S>5046</S>." But she didn't tell her husband<S>376</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>.


text:
It was so<S>7392</S>, as she rode on her donkey<S>2543</S>, and came down<S>3381</S> by the covert<S>5643</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>, that behold<S>1732</S>, David and his men<S>582</S> came down<S>3381</S> toward<S>7125</S> her<S>6298</S>; and she met them.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> had said<S>559</S>, "Surely in vain<S>8267</S> have I kept<S>8104</S> all that this<S>2088</S> fellow has in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, so that nothing<S>3972</S> was missed<S>6485</S> of all that pertained to him<S>7725</S>. He has returned me evil<S>7451</S> for good<S>2896</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> to the enemies<S>341</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and more<S>3254</S> also<S>7604</S>, if I leave of all that belongs to him by<S>5704</S> the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> so much as one who urinates<S>8366</S> on a wall<S>7023</S>."


text:
When Abigail<S>26</S> saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, she hurried<S>4116</S>, and alighted<S>3381</S> from her donkey<S>2543</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> before<S>639</S> David<S>1732</S> on her face<S>6440</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
She fell<S>5307</S> at his feet<S>7272</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "On me<S>113</S>, my lord, on me be the iniquity<S>5771</S>; and please let your handmaid<S>519</S> speak<S>1696</S> in your ears<S>241</S>. Hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of your handmaid<S>589</S>.


text:
Please don<S>7760</S>'t let my lord<S>113</S> regard<S>3820</S> this worthless<S>1100</S> fellow<S>376</S>, even Nabal<S>5037</S>; for as his name<S>8034</S> is<S>5037</S>, so is he. Nabal is his name<S>8034</S>, and folly<S>5039</S> is with him<S>519</S>; but I, your handmaid, didn<S>7200</S>'t see the young men<S>5288</S> of my lord<S>113</S>, whom you sent<S>7971</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>113</S>, my lord, as Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, since Yahweh<S>3068</S> has withheld<S>4513</S> you from<S>935</S> blood<S>1818</S> guiltiness<S>3467</S>, and from avenging yourself with your own hand<S>3027</S>, now therefore let your enemies<S>341</S>, and those who seek<S>1245</S> evil<S>7451</S> to my lord<S>113</S>, be as Nabal<S>5037</S>.


text:
Now this present<S>1293</S> which your servant<S>8198</S> has brought<S>935</S> to my lord<S>113</S>, let it be given<S>5414</S> to the young men<S>5288</S> who follow<S>1980</S> my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
Please forgive<S>5375</S> the trespass<S>6588</S> of your handmaid<S>519</S>. For Yahweh<S>3068</S> will certainly<S>6213</S> make<S>6213</S> my lord<S>3068</S> a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>, because my lord<S>113</S> fights<S>3898</S> the battles<S>4421</S> of Yahweh<S>113</S>; and evil<S>7451</S> shall not be found<S>4672</S> in you all your days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Though men<S>120</S> may rise<S>6965</S> up to pursue<S>7291</S> you<S>1245</S>, and to seek your soul<S>5315</S>, yet the soul<S>5315</S> of my lord<S>113</S> shall be bound<S>6887</S> in the bundle<S>6872</S> of life<S>2416</S> with Yahweh<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>. He will sling out<S>7049</S> the souls<S>5315</S> of your enemies<S>341</S>, as from the hollow<S>8432</S> of a sling<S>7050</S>.


text:
It shall come to pass<S>3068</S>, when Yahweh has done<S>6213</S> to my lord<S>3068</S> according to all the good<S>2896</S> that he has spoken<S>1696</S> concerning you<S>6680</S>, and shall have appointed you prince<S>5057</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
that this shall be no grief<S>6330</S> to you<S>4383</S>, nor offense of heart<S>3820</S> to my lord<S>113</S>, either that you have shed<S>8210</S> blood<S>1818</S> without cause<S>2600</S>, or that my lord<S>113</S> has avenged<S>3467</S> himself<S>113</S>. When Yahweh has dealt well<S>3190</S> with my lord<S>3068</S>, then remember<S>2142</S> your handmaid<S>519</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abigail<S>26</S>, "Blessed<S>1288</S> is Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who sent<S>7971</S> you this day<S>3117</S> to meet me<S>7125</S>!


text:
Blessed<S>1288</S> is your discretion<S>2940</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> are you<S>3607</S>, that have kept me this day<S>3117</S> from<S>935</S> blood<S>1818</S> guiltiness<S>3467</S>, and from avenging myself with my own hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For indeed<S>199</S>, as Yahweh<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, lives<S>2416</S>, who has withheld<S>4513</S> me from hurting<S>7489</S> you<S>3884</S>, unless you had hurried<S>4116</S> and come<S>935</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me<S>3498</S>, surely there wouldn't have been left to Nabal<S>5037</S> by the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> so much as one who urinates<S>8366</S> on a wall<S>7023</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> received<S>3947</S> of her hand<S>3027</S> that which she had brought<S>935</S> him<S>559</S>: and he said to her<S>5927</S>, "Go up in peace<S>7965</S> to your house<S>1004</S>. Behold<S>7200</S>, I have listened<S>8085</S> to your voice<S>6963</S>, and have granted<S>5375</S> your request<S>6440</S>."


text:
Abigail<S>26</S> came<S>935</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S>; and behold<S>4960</S>, he held a feast in his house<S>1004</S>, like the feast<S>4960</S> of a king<S>4428</S>. Nabal<S>5037</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was merry<S>2896</S> within him<S>3966</S>, for he was very drunken<S>7910</S>. Therefore she told<S>5046</S> him nothing<S>1697</S>, less<S>6996</S> or more<S>1419</S>, until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>.


text:
It happened in the morning<S>1242</S>, when the wine<S>3196</S> was gone out<S>3318</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S>, that his wife<S>802</S> told<S>5046</S> him these things<S>1697</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> died<S>4191</S> within<S>7130</S> him<S>68</S>, and he became as a stone.


text:
It happened about ten<S>6235</S> days<S>3117</S> after<S>3068</S>, that Yahweh struck<S>5062</S> Nabal<S>5037</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
When David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Nabal<S>5037</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, he said<S>559</S>, "Blessed<S>1288</S> is Yahweh<S>3068</S>, who has pleaded<S>7378</S> the cause<S>7379</S> of my reproach<S>2781</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S>, and has kept<S>2820</S> back his servant<S>5650</S> from evil<S>7451</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> has returned<S>7725</S> the evildoing<S>7451</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> on his own head<S>7218</S>." David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and spoke<S>1696</S> concerning Abigail<S>26</S>, to take<S>3947</S> her to him as wife<S>802</S>.


text:
When the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> had come<S>935</S> to Abigail<S>26</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, they spoke<S>1696</S> to her<S>559</S>, saying, "David<S>1732</S> has sent<S>7971</S> us to you<S>3947</S>, to take you to him as wife<S>802</S>."


text:
She arose<S>6965</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself with her face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Behold<S>519</S>, your handmaid is a servant<S>8198</S> to wash<S>7364</S> the feet<S>7272</S> of the servants<S>8198</S> of my lord<S>113</S>."


text:
Abigail<S>26</S> hurried<S>4116</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and rode<S>7392</S> on a donkey<S>2543</S>, with five<S>2568</S> ladies<S>5291</S> of hers who<S>1980</S> followed<S>7272</S> her<S>1980</S>; and she went after<S>7272</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and became his wife<S>802</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> also took<S>3947</S> Ahinoam<S>293</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>; and they both<S>8147</S> became his wives<S>802</S>.

Now Saul<S>7586</S> had given<S>5414</S> Michal<S>4324</S> his daughter<S>1323</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, to Palti<S>6406</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Laish<S>3919</S>, who was of Gallim<S>1554</S>.


text:
The Ziphites<S>2130</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Doesn<S>1732</S>'t David hide<S>5641</S> himself in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is before<S>6440</S> the desert<S>3452</S>?"


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>, having three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>1245</S>, to seek David<S>1732</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is before<S>6440</S> the desert<S>3452</S>, by the way<S>1870</S>. But David<S>1732</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and he saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> him into the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore sent out<S>7971</S> spies<S>7270</S>, and understood<S>3045</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had certainly<S>3559</S> come<S>935</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where Saul<S>7586</S> had encamped<S>2583</S>; and David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> the place<S>4725</S> where Saul<S>7586</S> lay<S>7901</S>, and Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of his army<S>6635</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> lay<S>7901</S> within the place<S>4570</S> of the wagons<S>5971</S>, and the people were encamped<S>2583</S> around him<S>5439</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S> and said<S>559</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>, and to Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, brother<S>251</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Who will go down<S>3381</S> with me to Saul<S>7586</S> to the camp<S>4264</S>?" Abishai<S>52</S> said<S>559</S>, "I will go down with you<S>3381</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> came<S>935</S> to the people<S>5971</S> by night<S>3915</S>: and<S>7586</S>, behold, Saul lay<S>7901</S> sleeping<S>3463</S> within the place<S>4570</S> of the wagons<S>2595</S>, with his spear stuck<S>4600</S> in the ground<S>776</S> at his head<S>4763</S>; and Abner<S>74</S> and the people<S>5971</S> lay<S>7901</S> around him<S>5439</S>.


text:
Then Abishai<S>52</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "God<S>430</S> has delivered<S>5462</S> up your enemy<S>341</S> into your hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>. Now therefore please let me strike<S>5221</S> him with the spear<S>2595</S> to the earth<S>776</S> at one stroke<S>6471</S>, and I will not strike him the second time<S>8138</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, "Don<S>7843</S>'t destroy him<S>7971</S>; for who can put forth his hand<S>3027</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>, and be guiltless<S>5352</S>?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> will strike<S>5062</S> him<S>3117</S>; or his day shall come<S>935</S> to die<S>4191</S>; or he shall go<S>935</S> down into battle<S>4421</S> and perish<S>5595</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> that I should put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>; but now please take<S>3947</S> the spear<S>2595</S> that is at his head<S>4763</S>, and the jar<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the spear<S>2595</S> and the jar<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>'s head<S>7226</S>; and they went away<S>3212</S>: and no man saw<S>7200</S> it<S>3045</S>, nor knew it<S>6974</S>, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep<S>3463</S>, because a deep sleep<S>8639</S> from Yahweh<S>3068</S> was fallen on them<S>5307</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> went over<S>5674</S> to the other side<S>5676</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S> afar off<S>7350</S>; a great<S>7227</S> space being between them<S>4725</S>;


text:
and David<S>1732</S> cried<S>7121</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, and to Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Don<S>6030</S>'t you answer, Abner<S>74</S>?" Then Abner<S>74</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Who<S>559</S> are you who cries<S>7121</S> to the king<S>4428</S>?"


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abner<S>74</S>, "Aren<S>376</S>'t you a man? Who is like you in Israel<S>3478</S>? Why then have you not kept<S>8104</S> watch over your lord<S>113</S>, the king<S>4428</S>? For one<S>259</S> of the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> in to destroy<S>7843</S> the king<S>4428</S> your lord<S>113</S>.


text:
This thing<S>1697</S> isn<S>2896</S>'t good that you have done<S>6213</S>. As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, you are worthy<S>1121</S> to die<S>4194</S>, because you have not kept<S>8104</S> watch over your lord<S>113</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>. Now see<S>7200</S> where the king<S>4428</S>'s spear<S>2595</S> is<S>6835</S>, and the jar of water<S>4325</S> that was at his head<S>4763</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> knew<S>5234</S> David<S>1732</S>'s voice<S>6963</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Is this your voice<S>6963</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>?" David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "It is my voice<S>6963</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "Why does my lord<S>113</S> pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> his servant<S>5650</S>? For what have I done<S>6213</S>? Or what evil<S>7451</S> is in my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Now therefore<S>113</S>, please let my lord the king<S>4428</S> hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>. If it is so that Yahweh<S>3068</S> has stirred you up<S>5496</S> against me<S>7306</S>, let him accept an offering<S>4503</S>. But if it is the children<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>, they are cursed<S>779</S> before<S>6440</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for they have driven<S>1644</S> me out this day<S>3117</S> that I shouldn<S>5596</S>'t cling to Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s inheritance<S>5159</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>3212</S> 'Go, serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>!'


text:
Now therefore<S>1818</S>, don't let my blood fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S> away from the presence<S>6440</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> has come out<S>3318</S> to seek<S>1245</S> a<S>259</S> flea<S>6550</S>, as when one hunts<S>7291</S> a partridge<S>7124</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, "I have sinned<S>2398</S>. Return<S>7725</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>; for I will no more do you harm<S>7489</S>, because my life<S>5315</S> was precious<S>3365</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S> this day<S>3117</S>. Behold<S>5528</S>, I have played the fool, and have erred<S>7686</S> exceedingly<S>7235</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S>, "Behold<S>559</S> the spear<S>2595</S>, O king<S>4428</S>! Then let one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> come over<S>5674</S> and get it<S>3947</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> will render<S>7725</S> to every man<S>376</S> his righteousness<S>6666</S> and his faithfulness<S>530</S>; because Yahweh<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> you into my hand<S>3027</S> today<S>3117</S>, and I wouldn<S>14</S>'t put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against Yahweh<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
Behold<S>5315</S>, as your life was respected<S>1431</S> this day<S>3117</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>, so let my life<S>5315</S> be respected<S>1431</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and let him deliver<S>5337</S> me out of all oppression<S>6869</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "You are blessed<S>1288</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>. You shall both do<S>6213</S> mightily<S>6213</S>, and shall surely<S>3201</S> prevail<S>3201</S>." So David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> his way<S>1870</S>, and Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, "I shall now perish<S>5595</S> one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>. There is nothing better<S>2896</S> for me than that<S>3588</S> I should<S>4422</S> escape<S>4422</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> will despair<S>2976</S> of me<S>1245</S>, to seek me any more in all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. So shall I escape<S>4422</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S>, he and the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> who were with him<S>397</S>, to Achish the son<S>1121</S> of Maoch<S>4582</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> with Achish<S>397</S> at Gath<S>1661</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, every man<S>582</S> with his household<S>1004</S>, even David<S>1732</S> with his two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>, Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the Carmelitess<S>3762</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.


text:
It was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was fled<S>1272</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>: and he sought<S>1245</S> no more again for him<S>3254</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, "If now I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>, let them give<S>5414</S> me a place<S>4725</S> in one<S>259</S> of the cities<S>5892</S> in the country<S>7704</S>, that I may dwell<S>3427</S> there<S>5650</S>. For why should your servant dwell<S>3427</S> in the royal<S>4467</S> city with you<S>5892</S>?"


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> gave<S>5414</S> him Ziklag<S>6860</S> that day<S>3117</S>: why Ziklag<S>6860</S> pertains to the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> to this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
The number<S>4557</S> of the days that David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> was a full year<S>3117</S> and four<S>702</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and made a raid<S>6584</S> on the Geshurites<S>1651</S>, and the Girzites<S>1511</S>, and the Amalekites<S>6003</S>; for those<S>2007</S> were the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>, who were of old<S>5769</S>, as you go<S>935</S> to Shur<S>7793</S>, even to the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> struck<S>5221</S> the land<S>776</S>, and saved neither man<S>376</S> nor woman<S>802</S> alive<S>2421</S>, and took away<S>3947</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>, and the cattle<S>1241</S>, and the donkeys<S>2543</S>, and the camels<S>1581</S>, and the clothing<S>899</S>; and he returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Achish<S>397</S>.


text:
Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S>, "Against whom<S>408</S> have you made a raid<S>6584</S> today<S>3117</S>?" David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, "Against the South<S>5045</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, against the South<S>5045</S> of the Jerahmeelites<S>3397</S>, and against the South<S>5045</S> of the Kenites<S>7017</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> saved<S>2421</S> neither man<S>376</S> nor woman<S>802</S> alive<S>2421</S>, to bring<S>935</S> them to Gath<S>1661</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Lest they should tell<S>5046</S> of us<S>559</S>, saying, <S>1732</S> 'David this<S>6213</S>, and this has been his way<S>4941</S> all the time<S>3117</S> he has lived<S>3427</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.'"


text:
Achish<S>397</S> believed<S>539</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "He has made his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> utterly<S>887</S> to abhor<S>887</S> him<S>5650</S>. Therefore he shall be my servant forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
It happened in those days<S>3117</S>, that the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered<S>6908</S> their armies<S>4264</S> together<S>6908</S> for warfare<S>6635</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>. Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Know<S>3045</S> assuredly<S>3045</S> that you shall go out<S>3318</S> with me in the army<S>4264</S>, you and your men<S>582</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, "Therefore<S>3651</S> you shall know<S>3045</S> what your servant<S>5650</S> will do<S>6213</S>." Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, "Therefore will I make<S>7760</S> you my bodyguard<S>8104, 7218</S> for ever<S>3117</S>."


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> had lamented<S>5594</S> him<S>6912</S>, and buried him in Ramah<S>7414</S>, even in his own city<S>5892</S>. Saul<S>7586</S> had put away<S>5493</S> those who had familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, out of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
The Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> and encamped<S>2583</S> in Shunem<S>7766</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> together<S>6908</S>, and they encamped<S>2583</S> in Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> the army<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, he was afraid<S>3372</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> trembled<S>2729</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, Yahweh<S>3068</S> didn<S>6030</S>'t answer him<S>2472</S>, neither by dreams, nor by Urim<S>224</S>, nor by prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to his servants<S>5650</S>, "Seek<S>1245</S> me a woman<S>802</S> who has<S>1172</S> a familiar spirit<S>178</S>, that I may go<S>3212</S> to her<S>1875</S>, and inquire of her<S>5650</S>." His servants said<S>559</S> to him<S>802</S>, "Behold, there is a woman who has<S>1172</S> a familiar spirit<S>178</S> at Endor<S>5874</S>."


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>3847</S>, and put on other<S>312</S> clothing<S>899</S>, and went<S>3212</S>, he and two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> with him<S>935</S>, and they came to the woman<S>802</S> by night<S>3915</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, "Please divine<S>7080</S> to me by the familiar spirit<S>178</S>, and bring me up<S>5927</S> whomever I shall name to you<S>559</S>."


text:
The woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>3045</S>, "Behold, you know what Saul<S>7586</S> has done<S>6213</S>, how he has cut off<S>3772</S> those who have familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, out of the land<S>776</S>. Why then do you lay a snare<S>5367</S> for my life<S>5315</S>, to cause me to die<S>4191</S>?"

Saul<S>7586</S> swore<S>7650</S> to her by Yahweh<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "As Yahweh<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, no punishment<S>5771</S> shall<S>518</S> happen<S>7136</S> to you for this thing<S>1697</S>."


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, "Whom shall I bring up<S>5927</S> to you<S>559</S>?" He said, "Bring Samuel<S>8050</S> up for me<S>5927</S>."


text:
When the woman<S>802</S> saw<S>7200</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, she cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>; and the woman<S>802</S> spoke<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, "Why have you deceived<S>7411</S> me<S>7586</S>? For you are Saul!"


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to her<S>3372</S>, "Don't be afraid. For what do you see<S>7200</S>?" The woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "I see<S>7200</S> a god<S>430</S> coming up<S>430</S> out of the earth<S>776</S>."


text:
He said<S>559</S> to her<S>8389</S>, "What does he look like?" She said<S>559</S>, "An old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> comes up<S>5927</S>. He is covered<S>5844</S> with a robe<S>4598</S>." Saul<S>7586</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that it was Samuel<S>8050</S>, and he bowed<S>6915</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and showed respect<S>7812</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, "Why have you disturbed<S>7264</S> me<S>5927</S>, to bring me up?" Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>559</S>, "I am very<S>3966</S> distressed<S>6887</S>; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> make war<S>3898</S> against me<S>430</S>, and God has departed<S>5493</S> from me<S>3027</S>, and answers me no more, neither by prophets<S>5030</S>, nor by<S>3027</S> dreams<S>2472</S>. Therefore I have called<S>7121</S> you<S>3045</S>, that you may make known to me what I shall do<S>6213</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, "Why then do you ask<S>7592</S> of me<S>3068</S>, since Yahweh has departed<S>5493</S> from you and has become your adversary<S>6145</S>?


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> has done<S>6213</S> to you as he spoke<S>1696</S> by me<S>3027</S>. Yahweh<S>3068</S> has torn<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S>, and given<S>5414</S> it to your neighbor<S>7453</S>, even to David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Because<S>834</S> you didn<S>6963</S>'t obey the voice of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, and didn<S>6213</S>'t execute his fierce<S>2740</S> wrath<S>639</S> on Amalek<S>6002</S>, therefore Yahweh<S>3068</S> has done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> to you this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Moreover Yahweh<S>3068</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> also with you into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and tomorrow<S>4279</S> you and your sons<S>1121</S> will be with me<S>3068</S>. Yahweh will deliver<S>5414</S> the army<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> also into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>."


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> fell<S>5307</S> immediately<S>4116</S> his full<S>4393</S> length<S>6967</S> on the earth<S>776</S>, and was<S>3966</S> terrified<S>3372</S>, because of the words<S>1697</S> of Samuel<S>8050</S>. There was no strength<S>3581</S> in him<S>398</S>; for he had eaten no bread<S>3899</S> all the day<S>3117</S>, nor all the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
The woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> that he was very<S>3966</S> troubled<S>926</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>8198</S>, "Behold, your handmaid has listened<S>8085</S> to your voice<S>6963</S>, and I have put<S>7760</S> my life<S>5315</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, and have listened<S>8085</S> to your words<S>1697</S> which you spoke to me<S>1696</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>8085</S>, please listen also to the voice<S>6963</S> of your handmaid<S>8198</S>, and let me set<S>7760</S> a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>398</S>; and eat, that you may have strength<S>3581</S>, when you go<S>3212</S> on your way<S>1870</S>."


text:
But he refused<S>3985</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will not eat<S>398</S>. But his servants<S>5650</S>, together with the woman<S>802</S>, constrained<S>6555</S> him<S>8085</S>; and he listened to their voice<S>6963</S>. So he arose<S>6965</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> on the bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
The woman<S>802</S> had a fattened<S>4770</S> calf<S>5695</S> in the house<S>1004</S>. She hurried<S>4116</S> and killed<S>2076</S> it<S>3947</S>; and she took flour<S>7058</S>, and kneaded<S>3888</S> it<S>644</S>, and baked unleavened bread of it<S>4682</S>.


text:
She brought<S>5066</S> it before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and before<S>6440</S> his servants<S>5650</S>; and they ate<S>398</S>. Then they rose up<S>6965</S>, and went away<S>3212</S> that night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered together<S>6908</S> all their armies<S>4264</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>: and the Israelites<S>3478</S> encamped<S>2583</S> by the spring<S>5869</S> which is in Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
The lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> passed on<S>5674</S> by hundreds<S>3967</S>, and by thousands<S>505</S>; and David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> passed on<S>5674</S> in the rear<S>314</S> with Achish<S>397</S>.


text:
Then the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, "What about these Hebrews<S>5680</S>?" Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, "Isn<S>1732</S>'t this David, the servant<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who has been with me these days<S>3117</S>, or rather these years<S>8141</S>, and I have found<S>4672</S> no fault<S>3972</S> in him since<S>3117</S> he fell<S>5307</S> away to this day<S>3117</S>?"


text:
But the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> were angry<S>7107</S> with him<S>8269</S>; and the princes of the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>7725</S>, "Make the man<S>376</S> return<S>7725</S>, that he may go back<S>7725</S> to his place<S>4725</S> where you have appointed<S>6485</S> him<S>3381</S>, and let him not go down with us to battle<S>4421</S>, lest in the battle<S>4421</S> he become an adversary<S>7854</S> to us<S>7521</S>. For with what should this fellow reconcile himself to his lord<S>113</S>? Should it not be with the heads<S>7218</S> of these men<S>582</S>?


text:
Is not this David<S>1732</S>, of whom they sang<S>6030</S> one to another in dances<S>4246</S>, saying<S>559</S>, <S>7586</S> 'Saul has slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>7233</S>?'"


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> called<S>7121</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S> to him<S>3068</S>, "As Yahweh lives<S>2416</S>, you have been upright<S>3477</S>, and your going out<S>3318</S> and your coming in<S>935</S> with me in the army<S>4264</S> is good<S>2896</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>; for I have not found<S>4672</S> evil<S>7451</S> in you since the day<S>3117</S> of your coming<S>935</S> to me to this day<S>3117</S>. Nevertheless<S>5633</S>, the lords don<S>5869</S>'t favor you<S>2896</S>.


text:
Therefore now return<S>7725</S>, and go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, that you not displease<S>7451</S> the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>."


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, "But what have I done<S>6213</S>? What have you found<S>4672</S> in your servant<S>5650</S> so long as<S>3117</S> I have been before you<S>6440</S> to this day<S>3117</S>, that I may not go<S>935</S> and fight<S>3898</S> against the enemies<S>341</S> of my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>?"


text:
Achish<S>397</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>, "I know<S>3045</S> that you are good<S>2896</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>, as an angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>. Notwithstanding the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> have said<S>559</S>, <S>5927</S> 'He shall not go up with us to the battle<S>4421</S>.'


text:
Therefore now rise up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> with the servants<S>5650</S> of your lord<S>113</S> who have come<S>935</S> with you<S>7925</S>; and as soon as you are up early in the morning<S>1242</S>, and have light<S>215</S>, depart<S>3212</S>."


text:
So David<S>1732</S> rose up early<S>7925</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, to depart<S>3212</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, to return<S>7725</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. The Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
The child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> to Yahweh<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S>. The word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> was precious<S>3368</S> in those days<S>3117</S>; there was no frequent<S>6555</S> vision<S>2377</S>.


text:
It happened at that time<S>3117</S>, when Eli<S>5941</S> was laid down<S>7901</S> in his place<S>4725</S> (now his eyes<S>5869</S> had begun<S>2490</S> to grow dim<S>3544</S>, so that he could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>),


text:
and the lamp<S>5216</S> of God<S>430</S> hadn<S>3518</S>'t yet gone out, and Samuel<S>8050</S> had laid down<S>7901</S> in the temple<S>1964</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>, where the ark<S>727</S> of God was<S>430</S>;


text:
He ran<S>7323</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Here I<S>2009</S> am<S>559</S>; for you called me." He said, "I<S>2009</S> didn<S>7121</S>'t call; lie down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>." He went<S>3212</S> and lay down<S>7901</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> yet again<S>3254</S>, "Samuel<S>8050</S>!" 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<S>7121</S>; for you called me<S>559</S>." He answered, "I didn<S>7121</S>'t call, my son<S>1121</S>; lie down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>."


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> didn<S>2962</S>'t yet know<S>3045</S> Yahweh<S>3068</S>, neither was the word<S>1697</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S> yet revealed to him<S>1540</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> called<S>7121</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> again<S>3254</S> the third time<S>7992</S>. He arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S>, "Here I am<S>7121</S>; for you called me<S>5941</S>." Eli perceived<S>995</S> that Yahweh<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<S>7121</S>, if he calls you<S>559</S>, that you shall say, <S>1696</S> 'Speak, Yahweh<S>3068</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> hears<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:
Yahweh<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> said<S>559</S>, "Speak<S>1696</S>; for your servant<S>5650</S> hears<S>8085</S>."


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>, "Behold<S>6213</S>, I will do a thing<S>1697</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, at which both<S>8147</S> the ears<S>241</S> of everyone who hears<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 that I have spoken<S>1696</S> concerning<S>413</S> his house<S>1004</S>, from the beginning<S>2490</S> even to the end<S>3615</S>.


text:
For I have told<S>5046</S> him that I will judge<S>8199</S> his house<S>1004</S> forever<S>5769</S>, for<S>5704</S> the iniquity<S>5771</S> which he knew<S>3045</S>, because his sons<S>1121</S> brought a curse<S>7043</S> on themselves<S>3543</S>, and he didn't restrain them.


text:
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>5941</S>'s house<S>1004</S> shall not be removed<S>3722</S> with sacrifice<S>2077</S> nor offering<S>2077, Philippians4</S> forever<S>5769</S>."


text:
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 Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Samuel<S>8050</S> feared<S>3372</S> to show<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>!" He said<S>559</S>, "Here I am."


text:
He said<S>559</S>, "What is the thing<S>1697</S> that he has spoken<S>1696</S> to you<S>3582</S>? Please don't hide it from me<S>430</S>. God do so<S>6213</S> to you<S>3254</S>, and more also, if you hide<S>3582</S> anything<S>1697</S> from me of all the things<S>1697</S> that he spoke to you<S>1696</S>."


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>5046</S> him every bit<S>1697</S>, and hid<S>3582</S> nothing from him<S>559</S>. He said, "It is Yahweh<S>3068</S>. Let him do<S>6213</S> what seems<S>5869</S> good to him<S>2896</S>."


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


text:
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> was established<S>539</S> to be a prophet<S>5030</S> of Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
Yahweh<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> again<S>3254</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>; for Yahweh<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 Yahweh<S>3068</S>.


text:
It happened<S>1732</S>, when David and his men<S>582</S> had come<S>935</S> to Ziklag<S>6860</S> on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that the Amalekites<S>6003</S> had made a raid<S>6584</S> on the South<S>5045</S>, and on Ziklag<S>6860</S>, and had struck<S>5221</S> Ziklag<S>6860</S>, and burned<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>,
