1SA-6:18 And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all

the cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords,

[both] of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the

great [stone of] Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD:

[which stone remaineth] unto this day in the field of Joshua,

the Bethshemite. <all> <ark> <belonging> <bethshemite> <both>

1SA-6:19 And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had

looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people

fifty thousand and threescore and ten men:and the people

lamented, because the LORD had smitten [many] of the people with

a great slaughter. <ark> <because> <bethshemesh> <even> <fifty>

1SA-6:20 And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand

before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

1SA-6:21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of

Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the

ark of the LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you. <again>

1SA-7:1 And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the

ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in

the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the

LORD. <ark> <brought> <came> <eleazar> <fetched> <hill> <house>

1SA-7:2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in

Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years:

and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD. <after>

1SA-7:3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying,

If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put

away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare

your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only:and he will

deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. <all> <among>

1SA-7:4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and

Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. <ashtaroth> <away> <baalim>

1SA-7:5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will

pray for you unto the LORD. <all> <gather> <israel> <lord>

1SA-7:6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water,

and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and

said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged

the children of Israel in Mizpeh. <against> <before> <children>

1SA-7:7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of

Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the

Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of

Israel heard [it] , they were afraid of the Philistines.

1SA-7:8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to

cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of

the hand of the Philistines. <cease> <children> <cry> <god>

<will>

1SA-7:9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a

burnt offering wholly unto the LORD:and Samuel cried unto the

LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. <burnt> <cried> <heard>

1SA-7:10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the

Philistines drew near to battle against Israel:but the LORD

thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines,

and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

1SA-7:11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued

the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Bethcar.

1SA-7:12 Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh

and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto

hath the LORD helped us. <between> <called> <ebenezer> <hath>

1SA-7:13 So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more

into the coast of Israel:and the hand of the LORD was against

the Philistines all the days of Samuel. <against> <all> <came>

1SA-7:14 And the cities which the Philistines had taken from

Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and

the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the

Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

1SA-7:15 And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

1SA-7:16 And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and

Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places. <all>

1SA-7:17 And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his

house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar

unto the LORD. <altar> <built> <house> <israel> <judged> <lord>

1SA-8:1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made

his sons judges over Israel. <came> <israel> <judges> <made>

1SA-8:2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of

his second, Abiah:[they were] judges in Beersheba. <beersheba>

1SA-8:3 And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside

after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. <after>

1SA-8:4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves

together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, <all> <came> <elders>

1SA-8:5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons

walk not in thy ways:now make us a king to judge us like all the

nations. <all> <art> <behold> <him> <judge> <king> <like> <make>

1SA-8:6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us

a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.

1SA-8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of

the people in all that they say unto thee:for they have not

rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not

reign over them. <all> <have> <hearken> <lord> <over> <people>

1SA-8:8 According to all the works which they have done since

the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day,

wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do

they also unto thee. <all> <also> <brought> <day> <do> <done>

1SA-8:9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice:howbeit yet

protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king

that shall reign over them. <hearken> <howbeit> <king> <manner>

1SA-8:10 And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the

people that asked of him a king. <all> <asked> <him> <king>

1SA-8:11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that

shall reign over you:He will take your sons, and appoint [them]

for himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and

[some] shall run before his chariots. <appoint> <before>

1SA-8:12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and

captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground,

and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and

instruments of his chariots. <appoint> <captains> <chariots>

1SA-8:13 And he will take your daughters [to be] confectionaries,

and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers. <bakers>

1SA-8:14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and

your oliveyards, [even] the best [of them] , and give [them] to

his servants. <best> <even> <fields> <give> <oliveyards>

1SA-8:15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your

vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. <give>

<your>

1SA-8:16 And he will take your menservants, and your

maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and

put [them] to his work. <asses> <goodliest> <maidservants> <men>

1SA-8:17 He will take the tenth of your sheep:and ye shall be

his servants. <servants> <sheep> <take> <tenth> <will> <your>

1SA-8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king

which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you

in that day. <because> <chosen> <cry> <day> <have> <hear> <king>

1SA-8:19 Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of

Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;

1SA-8:20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our

king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

1SA-8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he

rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. <all> <ears> <heard>

1SA-8:22 And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice,

and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go

ye every man unto his city. <city> <every> <go> <hearken>

1SA-9:1 Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name [was] Kish,

the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the

son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. <aphiah>

1SA-9:2 And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul, a choice young

man, and a goodly:and [there was] not among the children of

Israel a goodlier person than he:from his shoulders and upward

[he was] higher than any of the people. <among> <any> <children>

1SA-9:3 And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish

said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee,

and arise, go seek the asses. <arise> <asses> <father> <go>

1SA-9:4 And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through

the land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not:then they passed

through the land of Shalim, and [there they were] not:and he

passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found [them]

not. <benjamites> <ephraim> <found> <land> <mount> <passed>

1SA-9:5 [And] when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said

to his servant that [was] with him, Come, and let us return;

lest my father leave [caring] for the asses, and take thought

for us. <asses> <caring> <come> <father> <him> <land> <leave>

1SA-9:6 And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this

city a man of God, and [he is] an honourable man; all that he

saith cometh surely to pass:now let us go thither; peradventure

he can show us our way that we should go. <all> <behold> <can>

1SA-9:7 Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, [if] we go,

what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our

vessels, and [there is] not a present to bring to the man of God:

what have we? <behold> <bread> <bring> <go> <god> <have> <man>

1SA-9:8 And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I

have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver:[that]

will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way. <again>

1SA-9:9 ( Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of

God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer:for [he that

is] now [called] a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer. )

1SA-9:10 Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us

go. So they went unto the city where the man of God [was] .

1SA-9:11 [And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found

young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is

the seer here? <city> <draw> <found> <going> <here> <hill>

1SA-9:12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he

is] before you:make haste now, for he came to day to the city;

for [there is] a sacrifice of the people to day in the high

place:<answered> <before> <behold> <came> <city> <day> <haste>

1SA-9:13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall

straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat:

for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless

the sacrifice; [and] afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now

therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.

1SA-9:14 And they went up into the city:[and] when they were

come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to

go up to the high place. <against> <behold> <came> <city> <come>

1SA-9:15 Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before

Saul came, saying, <before> <came> <day> <ear> <had> <lord>

1SA-9:16 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of

the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain

over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the

hand of the Philistines:for I have looked upon my people,

because their cry is come unto me. <anoint> <because> <benjamin>

1SA-9:17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him,

Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign

over my people. <behold> <him> <lord> <man> <over> <people>

1SA-9:18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said,

Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house [is] . <drew>

1SA-9:19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I [am] the seer:go

up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to

day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all

that [is] in thine heart. <all> <answered> <before> <day> <eat>

1SA-9:20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago,

set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is]

all the desire of Israel? [Is it] not on thee, and on all thy

father's house? <ago> <all> <are> <asses> <days> <desire>

1SA-9:21 And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjamite, of

the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of

all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then

speakest thou so to me? <all> <answered> <benjamin> <benjamite>

1SA-9:22 And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them

into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among

them that were bidden, which [were] about thirty persons.

1SA-9:23 And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which

I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee. <bring>

1SA-9:24 And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which

[was] upon it, and set [it] before Saul. And [Samuel] said,

Behold that which is left! set [it] before thee, [and] eat:for

unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have

invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day. <been>

1SA-9:25 And when they were come down from the high place into

the city, [Samuel] communed with Saul upon the top of the house.

1SA-9:26 And they arose early:and it came to pass about the

spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the

house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose,

and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. <arose>

1SA-9:27 [And] as they were going down to the end of the city,

Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, ( and he

passed on, ) but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee

the word of God. <before> <bid> <city> <down> <end> <god>

1SA-10:1 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon

his head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD

hath anointed thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?

1SA-10:2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt

find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at

Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou

wentest to seek are found:and, lo, thy father hath left the care

of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for

my son? <are> <art> <asses> <benjamin> <border> <care> <day>

1SA-10:3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou

shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee

three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids,

and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying

a bottle of wine:<another> <bethel> <bottle> <bread> <carrying>

1SA-10:4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two [loaves]

of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. <bread>

1SA-10:5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where

[is] the garrison of the Philistines:and it shall come to pass,

when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a

company of prophets coming down from the high place with a

psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and

they shall prophesy:<after> <art> <before> <city> <come>

1SA-10:6 And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and

thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another

man. <another> <come> <into> <lord> <man> <prophesy> <spirit>

1SA-10:7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee,

[that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee.

1SA-10:8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold,

I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, [and] to

sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings:seven days shalt thou

tarry, till I come to thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.

1SA-10:9 And it was [so] , that when he had turned his back to

go from Samuel, God gave him another heart:and all those signs

came to pass that day. <all> <another> <back> <came> <day>

1SA-10:10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a

company of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him,

and he prophesied among them. <among> <behold> <came> <company>

1SA-10:11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime

saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the

people said one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto

the son of Kish? [Is] Saul also among the prophets? <all> <also>

1SA-10:12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who

[is] their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also

among the prophets? <also> <among> <answered> <became> <father>

1SA-10:13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to

the high place. <came> <end> <had> <high> <made> <place>

1SA-10:14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant,

Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses:and when we saw

that [they were] no where, we came to Samuel. <asses> <came>

1SA-10:15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what

Samuel said unto you. <pray> <said> <samuel> <tell> <uncle>

<what>

1SA-10:16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that

the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof

Samuel spake, he told him not. <asses> <found> <him> <kingdom>

1SA-10:17 And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to

Mizpeh; <called> <lord> <mizpeh> <people> <samuel> <together>

1SA-10:18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the

LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and

delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the

hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you:<all>

<thus>

1SA-10:19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself

saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and

ye have said unto him, [Nay] , but set a king over us. Now

therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and

by your thousands. <adversities> <all> <before> <day> <god>

1SA-10:20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to

come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. <all> <benjamin>

1SA-10:21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near

by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the

son of Kish was taken:and when they sought him, he could not be

found. <benjamin> <caused> <come> <could> <families> <family>

1SA-10:22 Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the

man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he

hath hid himself among the stuff. <among> <answered> <behold>

1SA-10:23 And they ran and fetched him thence:and when he stood

among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his

shoulders and upward. <among> <any> <fetched> <higher> <him>

<when>

1SA-10:24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the

LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the

people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.

<whom>

1SA-10:25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom,

and wrote [it] in a book, and laid [it] up before the LORD. And

Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. <all>

1SA-10:26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with

him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched. <also> <band>

1SA-10:27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man

save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But

he held his peace. <belial> <brought> <children> <despised>

<this>

1SA-11:1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against

Jabeshgilead:and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a

covenant with us, and we will serve thee. <against> <all>

1SA-11:2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this

[condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust

out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all

Israel. <all> <ammonite> <answered> <condition> <covenant>

1SA-11:3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven

days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts

of Israel:and then, if [there be] no man to save us, we will

come out to thee. <all> <coasts> <come> <elders> <give> <him>

1SA-11:4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told

the tidings in the ears of the people:and all the people lifted

up their voices, and wept. <all> <came> <ears> <gibeah> <lifted>

<wept>

1SA-11:5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field;

and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they

told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh. <after> <aileth>

1SA-11:6 And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard

those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. <anger> <came>

1SA-11:7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces,

and sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands

of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and

after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of

the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

1SA-11:8 And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of

Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty

thousand. <bezek> <children> <hundred> <israel> <judah> <men>

1SA-11:9 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall

ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by [that time]

the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and

showed [it] to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. <came>

1SA-11:10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will

come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good

unto you. <all> <come> <do> <good> <jabesh> <men> <morrow>

1SA-11:11 And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul put the

people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the

host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat

of the day:and it came to pass, that they which remained were

scattered, so that two of them were not left together.

1SA-11:12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who [is] he that said,

Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them

to death. <bring> <death> <may> <men> <over> <people> <put>

1SA-11:13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death

this day:for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.

1SA-11:14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to

Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. <come> <gilgal> <go>

1SA-11:15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made

Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed

sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul

and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly. <all> <before>

1SA-12:1 And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have

hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have

made a king over you. <all> <behold> <have> <hearkened> <israel>

1SA-12:2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you:and I am

old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons [are] with you:and I

have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. <are>

1SA-12:3 Behold, here I [am] :witness against me before the LORD,

and before his anointed:whose ox have I taken? or whose ass

have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed?

or of whose hand have I received [any] bribe to blind mine eyes

therewith? and I will restore it you. <against> <anointed> <any>

1SA-12:4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor

oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.

1SA-12:5 And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against

you, and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not

found ought in my hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.

1SA-12:6 And Samuel said unto the people, [It is] the LORD that

advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out

of the land of Egypt. <advanced> <brought> <egypt> <fathers>

1SA-12:7 Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you

before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he

did to you and to your fathers. <all> <before> <did> <fathers>

1SA-12:8 When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried

unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought

forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this

place. <brought> <come> <cried> <dwell> <egypt> <fathers>
