1SA-1:9 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and

after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a

post of the temple of the LORD. <after> <drunk> <eaten> <eli>

1SA-1:10 And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto

the LORD, and wept sore. <bitterness> <lord> <prayed> <she>

1SA-1:11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou

wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and

remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto

thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD

all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his

head. <affliction> <all> <child> <come> <days> <forget> <give>

1SA-1:12 And it came to pass, as she continued praying before

the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth. <before> <came> <continued>

1SA-1:13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved,

but her voice was not heard:therefore Eli thought she had been

drunken. <been> <drunken> <eli> <had> <hannah> <heard> <heart>

<voice>

1SA-1:14 And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken?

put away thy wine from thee. <away> <drunken> <eli> <how> <long>

1SA-1:15 And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a

woman of a sorrowful spirit:I have drunk neither wine nor strong

drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD. <answered>

1SA-1:16 Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial:for

out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken

hitherto. <belial> <complaint> <count> <daughter> <grief>

1SA-1:17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace:and the God of

Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

1SA-1:18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy

sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her

countenance was no more [sad] . <countenance> <did> <eat> <find>

1SA-1:19 And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped

before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah:

and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

1SA-1:20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about

after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his

name Samuel, [saying] , Because I have asked him of the LORD.

1SA-1:21 And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to

offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow. <all>

1SA-1:22 But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband,

[I will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will

bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide

for ever. <appear> <before> <bring> <child> <ever> <go> <hannah>

1SA-1:23 And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth

thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD

establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck

until she weaned him. <do> <elkanah> <establish> <gave> <good>

1SA-1:24 And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her,

with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of

wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh:and

the child [was] young. <bottle> <brought> <bullocks> <child>

1SA-1:25 And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

1SA-1:26 And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord,

I [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

1SA-1:27 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my

petition which I asked of him:<asked> <child> <given> <hath>

1SA-1:28 Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as

he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the

LORD there. <also> <have> <him> <lent> <liveth> <long> <lord>

1SA-2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the

LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD:my mouth is enlarged over

mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. <because>

1SA-2:2 [There is] none holy as the LORD:for [there is] none

beside thee:neither [is there] any rock like our God. <any>

<there>

1SA-2:3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy

come out of your mouth:for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and

by him actions are weighed. <are> <arrogancy> <come> <exceeding>

1SA-2:4 The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that

stumbled are girded with strength. <are> <bows> <broken>

1SA-2:5 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for

bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased:so that the barren

hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

1SA-2:6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive:he bringeth down to

the grave, and bringeth up. <alive> <bringeth> <down> <grave>

1SA-2:7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich:he bringeth low,

and lifteth up. <bringeth> <lifteth> <lord> <low> <maketh>

1SA-2:8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up

the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and

to make them inherit the throne of glory:for the pillars of the

earth [are] the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.

1SA-2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked

shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man

prevail. <darkness> <feet> <keep> <man> <no> <prevail> <saints>

1SA-2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces;

out of heaven shall he thunder upon them:the LORD shall judge

the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king,

and exalt the horn of his anointed. <adversaries> <anointed>

1SA-2:11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child

did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest. <before>

1SA-2:12 Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew

not the LORD. <belial> <eli> <knew> <lord> <now> <sons>

1SA-2:13 And the priests' custom with the people [was, that] ,

when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while

the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in

his hand; <any> <came> <custom> <flesh> <fleshhook> <hand> <man>

1SA-2:14 And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron,

or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for

himself. So they did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that

came thither. <all> <brought> <caldron> <came> <did> <fleshhook>

1SA-2:15 Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant

came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast

for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but

raw. <also> <before> <burnt> <came> <fat> <flesh> <give> <have>

1SA-2:16 And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to

burn the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul

desireth; then he would answer him, [Nay] ; but thou shalt give

[it me] now:and if not, I will take [it] by force. <answer>

1SA-2:17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great

before the LORD:for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

1SA-2:18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child,

girded with a linen ephod. <before> <being> <child> <ephod>

1SA-2:19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought

[it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband

to offer the yearly sacrifice. <brought> <came> <coat> <him>

1SA-2:20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The

LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to

the LORD. And they went unto their own home. <blessed> <eli>

1SA-2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and

bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew

before the LORD. <bare> <before> <child> <conceived> <daughters>

1SA-2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did

unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled

[at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. <all>

<women>

1SA-2:23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I

hear of your evil dealings by all this people. <all> <dealings>

<your>

1SA-2:24 Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear:ye

make the LORD's people to transgress. <good> <hear> <make> <nay>

1SA-2:25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge

him:but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for

him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their

father, because the LORD would slay them. <against> <another>

1SA-2:26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both

with the LORD, and also with men. <also> <both> <child> <favour>

1SA-2:27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him,

Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy

father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house? <appear>

1SA-2:28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel

[to be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to

wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy

father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

1SA-2:29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering,

which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy

sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all

the offerings of Israel my people? <all> <chiefest> <commanded>

1SA-2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed

[that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk

before me for ever:but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me;

for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me

shall be lightly esteemed. <before> <despise> <esteemed> <ever>

1SA-2:31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm,

and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an

old man in thine house. <arm> <behold> <come> <cut> <days>

1SA-2:32 And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all

[the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel:and there shall not

be an old man in thine house for ever. <all> <enemy> <ever>

1SA-2:33 And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from

mine altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve

thine heart:and all the increase of thine house shall die in the

flower of their age. <age> <all> <altar> <consume> <cut> <die>

1SA-2:34 And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come

upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall

die both of them. <both> <come> <day> <die> <hophni> <on> <one>

1SA-2:35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall

do according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind:

and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine

anointed for ever. <anointed> <before> <build> <do> <ever>

1SA-2:36 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is

left in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece

of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray

thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece

of bread. <bread> <come> <crouch> <eat> <every> <him> <house>

1SA-3:1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli.

And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; [there

was] no open vision. <before> <child> <days> <eli> <lord>

1SA-3:2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid

down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, [that] he

could not see; <began> <came> <could> <dim> <down> <eli> <eyes>

1SA-3:3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the

LORD, where the ark of God [was] , and Samuel was laid down [to

sleep] ; <ark> <down> <ere> <god> <laid> <lamp> <lord> <samuel>

1SA-3:4 That the LORD called Samuel:and he answered, Here [am] I.

1SA-3:5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou

calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he

went and lay down. <again> <called> <calledst> <down> <eli>

1SA-3:6 And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose

and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me.

And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. <again>

1SA-3:7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the

word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. <did> <him> <know>

1SA-3:8 And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he

arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst

call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.

1SA-3:9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down:and it

shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for

thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

1SA-3:10 And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other

times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy

servant heareth. <answered> <called> <came> <heareth> <lord>

1SA-3:11 And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing

in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it

shall tingle. <behold> <both> <do> <ears> <every> <heareth>

<will>

1SA-3:12 In that day I will perform against Eli all [things]

which I have spoken concerning his house:when I begin, I will

also make an end. <against> <all> <also> <begin> <concerning>

1SA-3:13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for

ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made

themselves vile, and he restrained them not. <because> <ever>

1SA-3:14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that

the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice

nor offering for ever. <eli> <ever> <have> <house> <iniquity>

1SA-3:15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors

of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the

vision. <doors> <eli> <feared> <house> <lay> <lord> <morning>

1SA-3:16 Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And

he answered, Here [am] I. <answered> <called> <eli> <here>

1SA-3:17 And he said, What [is] the thing that [the LORD] hath

said unto thee? I pray thee hide [it] not from me:God do so to

thee, and more also, if thou hide [any] thing from me of all the

things that he said unto thee. <all> <also> <any> <do> <god>

<what>

1SA-3:18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from

him. And he said, It [is] the LORD:let him do what seemeth him

good. <do> <every> <good> <hid> <him> <let> <lord> <nothing>

1SA-3:19 And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let

none of his words fall to the ground. <did> <fall> <grew>

1SA-3:20 And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that

Samuel [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD. <all>

1SA-3:21 And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh:for the LORD

revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

<word>

1SA-4:1 And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel

went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside

Ebenezer:and the Philistines pitched in Aphek. <against> <all>

1SA-4:2 And the Philistines put themselves in array against

Israel:and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before

the Philistines:and they slew of the army in the field about

four thousand men. <against> <army> <array> <battle> <before>

1SA-4:3 And when the people were come into the camp, the elders

of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before

the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the

LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it

may save us out of the hand of our enemies. <among> <ark>

1SA-4:4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from

thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which

dwelleth [between] the cherubims:and the two sons of Eli, Hophni

and Phinehas, [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God.

1SA-4:5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into

the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the

earth rang again. <again> <all> <ark> <came> <camp> <covenant>

1SA-4:6 And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout,

they said, What [meaneth] the noise of this great shout in the

camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the

LORD was come into the camp. <ark> <camp> <come> <great> <heard>

1SA-4:7 And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is

come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath

not been such a thing heretofore. <afraid> <been> <camp> <come>

1SA-4:8 Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of

these mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote the Egyptians

with all the plagues in the wilderness. <all> <are> <deliver>

1SA-4:9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye

Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they

have been to you:quit yourselves like men, and fight. <been>

1SA-4:10 And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and

they fled every man into his tent:and there was a very great

slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.

1SA-4:11 And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli,

Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. <ark> <eli> <god> <hophni>

1SA-4:12 And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and

came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with

earth upon his head. <army> <benjamin> <came> <clothes> <day>

1SA-4:13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the

wayside watching:for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And

when the man came into the city, and told [it] , all the city

cried out. <all> <ark> <came> <city> <cried> <eli> <god> <heart>

1SA-4:14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said,

What [meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in

hastily, and told Eli. <came> <crying> <eli> <hastily> <heard>

<when>

1SA-4:15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes

were dim, that he could not see. <could> <dim> <eight> <eli>

1SA-4:16 And the man said unto Eli, I [am] he that came out of

the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What

is there done, my son? <army> <came> <day> <done> <eli> <fled>

1SA-4:17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled

before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great

slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and

Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. <also> <among>

1SA-4:18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of

God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the

gate, and his neck brake, and he died:for he was an old man, and

heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. <ark> <backward>

1SA-4:19 And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child,

[near] to be delivered:and when she heard the tidings that the

ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband

were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came

upon her. <ark> <bowed> <came> <child> <daughter> <dead>

<with>

1SA-4:20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by

her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she

answered not, neither did she regard [it] . <answered> <borne>

1SA-4:21 And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is

departed from Israel:because the ark of God was taken, and

because of her father in law and her husband. <ark> <because>

1SA-4:22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel:for the

ark of God is taken. <ark> <departed> <glory> <god> <israel>

1SA-5:1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it

from Ebenezer unto Ashdod. <ark> <ashdod> <brought> <ebenezer>

1SA-5:2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought

it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. <ark> <brought>

1SA-5:3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow,

behold, Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the

ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place

again. <again> <ark> <arose> <ashdod> <before> <behold> <dagon>

1SA-5:4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold,

Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of

the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands

[were] cut off upon the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was

left to him. <ark> <arose> <before> <behold> <both> <cut>

1SA-5:5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that

come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in

Ashdod unto this day. <any> <ashdod> <come> <dagon> <day>

1SA-5:6 But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod,

and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even]

Ashdod and the coasts thereof. <ashdod> <coasts> <destroyed>

1SA-5:7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they

said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us:for

his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god. <ark> <ashdod>

1SA-5:8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the

Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark

of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God

of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark

of the God of Israel about [thither] . <all> <answered> <ark>

1SA-5:9 And it was [so] , that, after they had carried it about,

the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great

destruction:and he smote the men of the city, both small and

great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. <after>

1SA-5:10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it

came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the

Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of

the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. <ark>

1SA-5:11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the

Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel,

and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and

our people:for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the

city; the hand of God was very heavy there. <again> <all> <ark>

1SA-5:12 And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods:

and the cry of the city went up to heaven. <city> <cry> <died>

1SA-6:1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the

Philistines seven months. <ark> <country> <lord> <months>

1SA-6:2 And the Philistines called for the priests and the

diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell

us wherewith we shall send it to his place. <ark> <called>

1SA-6:3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of

Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass

offering:then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you

why his hand is not removed from you. <any> <ark> <away> <empty>

1SA-6:4 Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering

which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods,

and five golden mice, [according to] the number of the lords of

the Philistines:for one plague [was] on you all, and on your

lords. <all> <answered> <emerods> <five> <golden> <him> <lords>

1SA-6:5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and

images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory

unto the God of Israel:peradventure he will lighten his hand

from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

1SA-6:6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the

Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought

wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they

departed? <among> <departed> <did> <do> <egyptians> <go> <had>

1SA-6:7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine,

on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart,

and bring their calves home from them:<bring> <calves> <cart>

1SA-6:8 And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart;

and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass

offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away,

that it may go. <ark> <away> <cart> <coffer> <go> <gold> <him>

1SA-6:9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to

Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil:but if not,

then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us:it

[was] a chance [that] happened to us. <bethshemesh> <chance>

1SA-6:10 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied

them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:<calves>

1SA-6:11 And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and

the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

1SA-6:12 And the kine took the straight way to the way of

Bethshemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went,

and turned not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and

the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of

Bethshemesh. <after> <along> <aside> <bethshemesh> <border>

1SA-6:13 And [they of] Bethshemesh [were] reaping their wheat

harvest in the valley:and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the

ark, and rejoiced to see [it] . <ark> <bethshemesh> <eyes>

<wheat>

1SA-6:14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a

Bethshemite, and stood there, where [there was] a great stone:

and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a

burnt offering unto the LORD. <bethshemite> <burnt> <came>

1SA-6:15 And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the

coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were] ,

and put [them] on the great stone:and the men of Bethshemesh

offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day
