¹Then Samuel took the vial of oil and poured it on his head, then kissed him and said, “Hasn’t Yahweh anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?

KJVThen Samuel^H8050 took^H3947^(H8799) a vial^H6378 of oil^H8081, and poured^H3332^(H8799) it upon his head^H7218, and kissed^H5401^(H8799) him, and said^H559^(H8799), Is it not because the LORD^H3068 hath anointed^H4886^(H8804) thee to be captain^H5057 over his inheritance^H5159?

² When you have departed from me today, then you will find two men by Rachel’s tomb, on the border of Benjamin at Zelzah. They will tell you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found; and behold, your father has stopped caring about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, “What shall I do for my son?”’

KJVWhen thou art departed^H3212^(H8800) from me^H5978 to day^H3117, then thou shalt find^H4672^(H8804) two^H8147 men^H582 by Rachel's^H7354 sepulchre^H6900 in the border^H1366 of Benjamin^H1144 at Zelzah^H6766; and they will say^H559^(H8804) unto thee, The asses^H860 which thou wentest^H1980^(H8804) to seek^H1245^(H8763) are found^H4672^(H8738): and, lo, thy father^H1 hath left^H5203^(H8804) the care^H1697 of the asses^H860, and sorroweth^H1672^(H8804) for you, saying^H559^(H8800), What shall I do^H6213^(H8799) for my son^H1121?

³ “Then you will go on forward from there, and you will come to the oak of Tabor. Three men will meet you there going up to God to Bethel: one carrying three young goats, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a container of wine.

KJVThen shalt thou go on^H2498^(H8804) forward^H1973 from thence, and thou shalt come^H935^(H8804) to the plain^H436 of Tabor^H8396, and there shall meet^H4672^(H8804) thee three^H7969 men^H582 going up^H5927^(H8802) to God^H430 to Bethel^H1008, one^H259 carrying^H5375^(H8802) three^H7969 kids^H1423, and another^H259 carrying^H5375^(H8802) three^H7969 loaves^H3603 of bread^H3899, and another^H259 carrying^H5375^(H8802) a bottle^H5035 of wine^H3196:

⁴ They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hand.

KJVAnd they will^H7592^(H8804) salute^H7965 thee, and give^H5414^(H8804) thee two^H8147 loaves of bread^H3899; which thou shalt receive^H3947^(H8804) of their hands^H3027.

⁵ “After that you will come to the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is; and it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a pipe, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

KJVAfter^H310 that thou shalt come^H935^(H8799) to the hill^H1389 of God^H430, where is the garrison^H5333 of the Philistines^H6430: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither^H935^(H8800) to the city^H5892, that thou shalt meet^H6293^(H8804) a company^H2256 of prophets^H5030 coming down^H3381^(H8802) from the high place^H1116 with a psaltery^H5035, and a tabret^H8596, and a pipe^H2485, and a harp^H3658, before^H6440 them; and they shall prophesy^H5012^(H8693):

⁶ Then Yahweh’s Spirit will come mightily on you, then you will prophesy with them and will be turned into another man.

KJVAnd the Spirit^H7307 of the LORD^H3068 will come^H6743^(H8804) upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy^H5012^(H8694) with them, and shalt be turned^H2015^(H8738) into another^H312 man^H376.

⁷ Let it be, when these signs have come to you, that you do what is appropriate for the occasion; for God is with you.

KJVAnd let it be, when these signs^H226 are come^H935^(H8799) unto thee, that thou do^H6213^(H8798) as occasion^H4672^(H8799) serve^H3027 thee; for God^H430 is with thee.

⁸ “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Wait seven days, until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”

KJVAnd thou shalt go down^H3381^(H8804) before^H6440 me to Gilgal^H1537; and, behold, I will come down^H3381^(H8802) unto thee, to offer^H5927^(H8687) burnt offerings^H5930, and to sacrifice^H2076^(H8800) sacrifices^H2077 of peace offerings^H8002: seven^H7651 days^H3117 shalt thou tarry^H3176^(H8686), till I come^H935^(H8800) to thee, and shew^H3045^(H8689) thee what thou shalt do^H6213^(H8799).

⁹ It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all those signs happened that day.

KJVAnd it was so, that when he had turned^H6437^(H8687) his back^H7926 to go^H3212^(H8800) from Samuel^H8050, God^H430 gave^H2015^(H8799) him another^H312 heart^H3820: and all those signs^H226 came^H935^(H8799) to pass that day^H3117.

¹⁰ When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.

KJVAnd when they came^H935^(H8799) thither to the hill^H1389, behold, a company^H2256 of prophets^H5030 met^H7125^(H8800) him; and the Spirit^H7307 of God^H430 came^H6743^(H8799) upon him, and he prophesied^H5012^(H8691) among^H8432 them.

¹¹ When all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said to one another, “What is this that has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”

KJVAnd it came to pass, when all that knew^H3045^(H8802) him beforetime^H865^H8032 saw^H7200^(H8799) that, behold, he prophesied^H5012^(H8738) among the prophets^H5030, then the people^H5971 said^H559^(H8799) one^H376 to another^H7453, What is this that is come unto the son^H1121 of Kish^H7027? Is Saul^H7586 also among the prophets^H5030?

¹² One from the same place answered, “Who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

KJVAnd one^H376 of the same place answered^H6030^(H8799) and said^H559^(H8799), But who is their father^H1? Therefore it became a proverb^H4912, Is Saul^H7586 also among the prophets^H5030?

¹³ When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

KJVAnd when he had made an end^H3615^(H8762) of prophesying^H5012^(H8692), he came^H935^(H8799) to the high place^H1116.

¹⁴ Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” He said, “To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were not found, we came to Samuel.”

KJVAnd Saul's^H7586 uncle^H1730 said^H559^(H8799) unto him and to his servant^H5288, Whither^H575 went^H1980^(H8804) ye? And he said^H559^(H8799), To seek^H1245^(H8763) the asses^H860: and when we saw^H7200^(H8799) that they were no where^H369, we came^H935^(H8799) to Samuel^H8050.

¹⁵ Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me what Samuel said to you.”

KJVAnd Saul's^H7586 uncle^H1730 said^H559^(H8799), Tell^H5046^(H8685) me, I pray thee, what Samuel^H8050 said^H559^(H8804) unto you.

¹⁶ Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys were found.” But concerning the matter of the kingdom, of which Samuel spoke, he didn’t tell him.

KJVAnd Saul^H7586 said^H559^(H8799) unto his uncle^H1730, He told^H5046^(H8689) us plainly^H5046^(H8687) that the asses^H860 were found^H4672^(H8738). But of the matter^H1697 of the kingdom^H4410, whereof Samuel^H8050 spake^H559^(H8804), he told^H5046^(H8689) him not.

¹⁷ Samuel called the people together to Yahweh to Mizpah;

KJVAnd Samuel^H8050 called^H6817^(H8686) the people^H5971 together unto the LORD^H3068 to Mizpeh^H4709;

¹⁸ and he said to the children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’

KJVAnd said^H559^(H8799) unto the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478, Thus saith^H559^(H8804) the LORD^H3068 God^H430 of Israel^H3478, I brought up^H5927^(H8689) Israel^H3478 out of Egypt^H4714, and delivered^H5337^(H8686) you out of the hand^H3027 of the Egyptians^H4714, and out of the hand^H3027 of all kingdoms^H4467, and of them that oppressed^H3905^(H8801) you:

¹⁹ But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before Yahweh by your tribes and by your thousands.”

KJVAnd ye have this day^H3117 rejected^H3988^(H8804) your God^H430, who himself saved^H3467^(H8688) you out of all your adversities^H7451 and your tribulations^H6869; and ye have said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Nay, but set^H7760^(H8799) a king^H4428 over us. Now therefore present^H3320^(H8690) yourselves before^H6440 the LORD^H3068 by your tribes^H7626, and by your thousands^H505.

²⁰ So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.

KJVAnd when Samuel^H8050 had caused all the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478 to come near^H7126^(H8686), the tribe^H7626 of Benjamin^H1144 was taken^H3920^(H8735).

²¹ He brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families and the family of the Matrites was chosen. Then Saul the son of Kish was chosen; but when they looked for him, he could not be found.

KJVWhen he had caused the tribe^H7626 of Benjamin^H1144 to come near^H7126^(H8686) by their families^H4940, the family^H4940 of Matri^H4309 was taken^H3920^(H8735), and Saul^H7586 the son^H1121 of Kish^H7027 was taken^H3920^(H8735): and when they sought^H1245^(H8762) him, he could not be found^H4672^(H8738).

²² Therefore they asked of Yahweh further, “Is there yet a man to come here?” Yahweh answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”

KJVTherefore they enquired^H7592^(H8799) of the LORD^H3068 further, if the man^H376 should yet come^H935^(H8804) thither^H1988. And the LORD^H3068 answered^H559^(H8799), Behold, he hath hid^H2244^(H8737) himself among the stuff^H3627.

²³ They ran and got him there. When he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.

KJVAnd they ran^H7323^(H8799) and fetched^H3947^(H8799) him thence: and when he stood^H3320^(H8691) among^H8432 the people^H5971, he was higher^H1361^(H8799) than any of the people^H5971 from his shoulders^H7926 and upward^H4605.

²⁴ Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom Yahweh has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?” All the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”

KJVAnd Samuel^H8050 said^H559^(H8799) to all the people^H5971, See^H7200^(H8804) ye him whom the LORD^H3068 hath chosen^H977^(H8804), that there is none like him among all the people^H5971? And all the people^H5971 shouted^H7321^(H8686), and said^H559^(H8799), God save^H2421^(H8799) the king^H4428.

²⁵ Then Samuel told the people the regulations of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before Yahweh. Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

KJVThen Samuel^H8050 told^H1696^(H8762) the people^H5971 the manner^H4941 of the kingdom^H4410, and wrote^H3789^(H8799) it in a book^H5612, and laid it up^H3240^(H8686) before^H6440 the LORD^H3068. And Samuel^H8050 sent^H7971 all the people^H5971 away^H7971^(H8762), every man^H376 to his house^H1004.

²⁶ Saul also went to his house in Gibeah; and the army went with him, whose hearts God had touched.

KJVAnd Saul^H7586 also went^H1980^(H8804) home^H1004 to Gibeah^H1390; and there went^H3212^(H8799) with him a band of men^H2428, whose hearts^H3820 God^H430 had touched^H5060^(H8804).

²⁷ But certain worthless fellows said, “How could this man save us?” They despised him, and brought him no tribute. But he held his peace.

KJVBut the children^H1121 of Belial^H1100 said^H559^(H8804), How shall this man save^H3467^(H8686) us? And they despised^H959^(H8799) him, and brought^H935^(H8689) him no presents^H4503. But he held his peace^H2790^(H8688).

WEB·1 Samuel 9

¹Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.

KJVNow there was a man^H376 of Benjamin^H1144, whose name^H8034 was Kish^H7027, the son^H1121 of Abiel^H22, the son^H1121 of Zeror^H6872, the son^H1121 of Bechorath^H1064, the son^H1121 of Aphiah^H647, a Benjamite^H1145, a mighty^H1368 man^H376 of power^H2428.

² He had a son whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.

KJVAnd he had a son^H1121, whose name^H8034 was Saul^H7586, a choice young man^H970, and a goodly^H2896: and there was not among the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 a goodlier^H2896 person^H376 than he: from his shoulders^H7926 and upward^H4605 he was higher^H1364 than any of the people^H5971.

³ The donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. Kish said to Saul his son, “Now take one of the servants with you, and arise, go look for the donkeys.”

KJVAnd the asses^H860 of Kish^H7027 Saul's^H7586 father^H1 were lost^H6^(H8799). And Kish^H7027 said^H559^(H8799) to Saul^H7586 his son^H1121, Take^H3947^(H8798) now one^H259 of the servants^H5288 with thee, and arise^H6965^(H8798), go^H3212^(H8798) seek^H1245^(H8761) the asses^H860.

⁴ He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they didn’t find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they weren’t there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they didn’t find them.

KJVAnd he passed through^H5674^(H8799) mount^H2022 Ephraim^H669, and passed through^H5674^(H8799) the land^H776 of Shalisha^H8031, but they found^H4672^(H8804) them not: then they passed through^H5674^(H8799) the land^H776 of Shalim^H8171, and there they were not: and he passed through^H5674^(H8799) the land^H776 of the Benjamites^H1145, but they found^H4672^(H8804) them not.

⁵ When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, “Come! Let’s return, lest my father stop caring about the donkeys and be anxious for us.”

KJVAnd when they were come^H935^(H8804) to the land^H776 of Zuph^H6689, Saul^H7586 said^H559^(H8804) to his servant^H5288 that was with him, Come^H3212^(H8798), and let us return^H7725^(H8799); lest my father^H1 leave^H2308^(H8799) caring for the asses^H860, and take thought^H1672^(H8804) for us.

⁶ The servant said to him, “Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and he is a man who is held in honor. All that he says surely happens. Now let’s go there. Perhaps he can tell us which way to go.”

KJVAnd he said^H559^(H8799) unto him, Behold now, there is in this city^H5892 a man^H376 of God^H430, and he is an honourable^H3513^(H8737) man^H376; all that he saith^H1696^(H8762) cometh^H935^(H8799) surely to pass^H935^(H8800): now let us go^H3212^(H8799) thither; peradventure he can shew^H5046^(H8686) us our way^H1870 that we should go^H1980^(H8804).

⁷ Then Saul said to his servant, “But behold, if we go, what should we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our sacks, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”

KJVThen said^H559^(H8799) Saul^H7586 to his servant^H5288, But, behold, if we go^H3212^(H8799), what shall we bring^H935^(H8686) the man^H376? for the bread^H3899 is spent^H235^(H8804) in our vessels^H3627, and there is not a present^H8670 to bring^H935^(H8687) to the man^H376 of God^H430: what have we?

⁸ The servant answered Saul again and said, “Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver. I will give that to the man of God, to tell us our way.”

KJVAnd the servant^H5288 answered^H6030^(H8800) Saul^H7586 again^H3254^(H8686), and said^H559^(H8799), Behold, I have^H4672^(H8738) here at hand^H3027 the fourth part^H7253 of a shekel^H8255 of silver^H3701: that will I give^H5414^(H8804) to the man^H376 of God^H430, to tell^H5046^(H8689) us our way^H1870.

⁹ (In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come! Let’s go to the seer;” for he who is now called a prophet was before called a seer.)

KJV(Beforetime^H6440 in Israel^H3478, when a man^H376 went^H3212^(H8800) to enquire^H1875^(H8800) of God^H430, thus he spake^H559^(H8804), Come^H3212^(H8798), and let us go^H3212^(H8799) to the seer^H7200^(H8802): for he that is now^H3117 called a Prophet^H5030 was beforetime^H6440 called^H7121^(H8735) a Seer^H7200^(H8802).)

¹⁰ Then Saul said to his servant, “Well said. Come! Let’s go.” So they went to the city where the man of God was.

KJVThen said^H1697 Saul^H7586 to his servant^H5288, Well^H2896 said^H559^(H8799); come^H3212^(H8798), let us go^H3212^(H8799). So they went^H3212^(H8799) unto the city^H5892 where the man^H376 of God^H430 was.

¹¹ As they went up the ascent to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said to them, “Is the seer here?”

KJVAnd as they went up^H5927^(H8802) the hill^H4608 to the city^H5892, they found^H4672^(H8804) young maidens^H5291 going out^H3318^(H8802) to draw^H7579^(H8800) water^H4325, and said^H559^(H8799) unto them, Is^H3426 the seer^H7200^(H8802) here?

¹² They answered them and said, “He is. Behold, he is before you. Hurry now, for he has come today into the city; for the people have a sacrifice today in the high place.

KJVAnd they answered^H6030^(H8799) them, and said^H559^(H8799), He is^H3426; behold, he is before^H6440 you: make haste^H4116^(H8761) now, for he came^H935^(H8804) to day^H3117 to the city^H5892; for there is a sacrifice^H2077 of the people^H5971 to day^H3117 in the high place^H1116:

¹³ As soon as you have come into the city, you will immediately find him before he goes up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he comes, because he blesses the sacrifice. Afterwards those who are invited eat. Now therefore go up; for at this time you will find him.”

KJVAs soon as ye be come^H935^(H8800) into the city^H5892, ye shall straightway^H3651 find^H4672^(H8799) him, before he go up^H5927^(H8799) to the high place^H1116 to eat^H398^(H8800): for the people^H5971 will not eat^H398^(H8799) until he come^H935^(H8800), because he doth bless^H1288^(H8762) the sacrifice^H2077; and afterwards^H310^H3651 they eat^H398^(H8799) that be bidden^H7121^(H8803). Now therefore get you up^H5927^(H8798); for about this time^H3117 ye shall find^H4672^(H8799) him.

¹⁴ They went up to the city. As they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them to go up to the high place.

KJVAnd they went up^H5927^(H8799) into^H8432 the city^H5892: and when they were come^H935^(H8802) into the city^H5892, behold, Samuel^H8050 came out^H3318^(H8802) against^H7125^(H8800) them, for to go up^H5927^(H8800) to the high place^H1116.

¹⁵ Now Yahweh had revealed to Samuel a day before Saul came, saying,

KJVNow the LORD^H3068 had told^H1540^(H8804) Samuel^H8050 in his ear^H241 a^H259 day^H3117 before^H6440 Saul^H7586 came^H935^(H8800), saying^H559^(H8800),

¹⁶ “Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come to me.”

KJVTo morrow^H4279 about this time^H6256 I will send^H7971^(H8799) thee a man^H376 out of the land^H776 of Benjamin^H1144, and thou shalt anoint^H4886^(H8804) him to be captain^H5057 over my people^H5971 Israel^H3478, that he may save^H3467^(H8689) my people^H5971 out of the hand^H3027 of the Philistines^H6430: for I have looked^H7200^(H8804) upon my people^H5971, because their cry^H6818 is come^H935^(H8804) unto me.

¹⁷ When Samuel saw Saul, Yahweh said to him, “Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you! He will have authority over my people.”

KJVAnd when Samuel^H8050 saw^H7200^(H8804) Saul^H7586, the LORD^H3068 said^H6030^(H8804) unto him, Behold the man^H376 whom I spake^H559^(H8804) to thee of! this same shall reign^H6113^(H8799) over my people^H5971.

¹⁸ Then Saul approached Samuel in the gateway, and said, “Please tell me where the seer’s house is.”

KJVThen Saul^H7586 drew near^H5066^(H8799) to Samuel^H8050 in^H8432 the gate^H8179, and said^H559^(H8799), Tell^H5046^(H8685) me, I pray thee, where^H335 the seer's^H7200^(H8802) house^H1004 is.

¹⁹ Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you are to eat with me today. In the morning I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.

KJVAnd Samuel^H8050 answered^H6030^(H8799) Saul^H7586, and said^H559^(H8799), I am the seer^H7200^(H8802): go up^H5927^(H8798) before^H6440 me unto the high place^H1116; for ye shall eat^H398^(H8804) with me to day^H3117, and to morrow^H1242 I will let thee go^H7971^(H8765), and will tell^H5046^(H8686) thee all that is in thine heart^H3824.

²⁰ As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don’t set your mind on them, for they have been found. For whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you and all your father’s house?”

KJVAnd as for thine asses^H860 that were lost^H6^(H8802) three^H7969 days^H3117 ago^H3117, set^H7760^(H8799) not thy mind^H3820 on them; for they are found^H4672^(H8738). And on whom is all the desire^H2532 of Israel^H3478? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's^H1 house^H1004?

²¹ Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”

KJVAnd Saul^H7586 answered^H6030^(H8799) and said^H559^(H8799), Am not I a Benjamite^H1145, of the smallest^H6996 of the tribes^H7626 of Israel^H3478? and my family^H4940 the least^H6810 of all the families^H4940 of the tribe^H7626 of Benjamin^H1144? wherefore then speakest^H1696^(H8765) thou so^H1697 to me?

²² Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the guest room, and made them sit in the best place among those who were invited, who were about thirty persons.

KJVAnd Samuel^H8050 took^H3947^(H8799) Saul^H7586 and his servant^H5288, and brought^H935^(H8686) them into the parlour^H3957, and made them sit^H5414^(H8799) in the chiefest^H7218 place^H4725 among them that were bidden^H7121^(H8803), which were about thirty^H7970 persons^H376.

²³ Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion which I gave you, of which I said to you, ‘Set it aside.’”

KJVAnd Samuel^H8050 said^H559^(H8799) unto the cook^H2876, Bring^H5414^(H8798) the portion^H4490 which I gave^H5414^(H8804) thee, of which I said^H559^(H8804) unto thee, Set^H7760^(H8798) it by thee.

²⁴ The cook took up the thigh, and that which was on it, and set it before Saul. Samuel said, “Behold, that which has been reserved! Set it before yourself and eat; because it has been kept for you for the appointed time, for I said, ‘I have invited the people.’” So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

KJVAnd the cook^H2876 took up^H7311^(H8686) the shoulder^H7785, and that which was upon it, and set^H7760^(H8799) it before^H6440 Saul^H7586. And Samuel said^H559^(H8799), Behold that which is left^H7604^(H8737)! set^H7760^(H8798) it before^H6440 thee, and eat^H398^(H8798): for unto this time^H4150 hath it been kept^H8104^(H8803) for thee since I said^H559^(H8800), I have invited^H7121^(H8804) the people^H5971. So Saul^H7586 did eat^H398^(H8799) with Samuel^H8050 that day^H3117.

²⁵ When they had come down from the high place into the city, he talked with Saul on the housetop.

KJVAnd when they were come down^H3381^(H8799) from the high place^H1116 into the city^H5892, Samuel communed^H1696^(H8762) with Saul^H7586 upon the top of the house^H1406.

²⁶ They arose early; and about daybreak, Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, “Get up, that I may send you away.” Saul arose, and they both went outside, he and Samuel, together.

KJVAnd they arose early^H7925^(H8686): and it came to pass about the spring^H5927^(H8800) of the day^H7837, that Samuel^H8050 called^H7121^(H8799) Saul^H7586 to the top of the house^H1406, saying^H559^(H8800), Up^H6965^(H8798), that I may send thee away^H7971^(H8762). And Saul^H7586 arose^H6965^(H8799), and they went out^H3318^(H8799) both^H8147 of them, he and Samuel^H8050, abroad^H2351.

²⁷ As they were going down at the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us.” He went ahead, then Samuel said, “But stand still first, that I may cause you to hear God’s message.”

KJVAnd as they were going down^H3381^(H8802) to the end^H7097 of the city^H5892, Samuel^H8050 said^H559^(H8804) to Saul^H7586, Bid^H559^(H8798) the servant^H5288 pass on^H5674^(H8799) before^H6440 us,(and he passed on^H5674^(H8798),) but stand^H5975^(H8798) thou still a while^H3117, that I may shew^H8085^(H8686) thee the word^H1697 of God^H430.
