1SA-12:9 And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them

into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into

the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of

Moab, and they fought against them. <against> <captain> <forgat>

1SA-12:10 And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned,

because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and

Ashtaroth:but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and

we will serve thee. <ashtaroth> <baalim> <because> <cried>

1SA-12:11 And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah,

and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on

every side, and ye dwelled safe. <bedan> <delivered> <dwelled>

1SA-12:12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children

of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king

shall reign over us:when the LORD your God [was] your king.

1SA-12:13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen,

[and] whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a

king over you. <behold> <chosen> <desired> <hath> <have> <king>

1SA-12:14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his

voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then

shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue

following the LORD your God:<against> <also> <both>

1SA-12:15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but

rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand

of the LORD be against you, as [it was] against your fathers.

1SA-12:16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which

the LORD will do before your eyes. <before> <do> <eyes> <great>

1SA-12:17 [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the

LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive

and see that your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in

the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. <asking> <call>

1SA-12:18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent

thunder and rain that day:and all the people greatly feared the

LORD and Samuel. <all> <called> <day> <feared> <greatly> <lord>

1SA-12:19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy

servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not:for we have

added unto all our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king. <all>

1SA-12:20 And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not:ye have done

all this wickedness:yet turn not aside from following the LORD,

but serve the LORD with all your heart; <all> <aside> <done>

1SA-12:21 And turn ye not aside:for [then should ye go] after

vain [things] , which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are]

vain. <after> <are> <aside> <cannot> <deliver> <go> <nor>

1SA-12:22 For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great

name's sake:because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his

people. <because> <forsake> <great> <hath> <lord> <make>

1SA-12:23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin

against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you:but I will teach you

the good and the right way:<against> <ceasing> <forbid> <god>

1SA-12:24 Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all

your heart; for consider how great [things] he hath done for you.

1SA-12:25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be

consumed, both ye and your king. <both> <consumed> <do> <king>

1SA-13:1 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two

years over Israel, <had> <israel> <one> <over> <reigned> <saul>

1SA-13:2 Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel;

[whereof] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount

Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin:

and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.

1SA-13:3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that

[was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it] . And Saul blew

the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews

hear. <all> <blew> <garrison> <geba> <hear> <heard> <hebrews>

1SA-13:4 And all Israel heard say [that] Saul had smitten a

garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in

abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called

together after Saul to Gilgal. <after> <all> <also> <called>

1SA-13:5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to

fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand

horsemen, and people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in

multitude:and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward

from Bethaven. <bethaven> <came> <chariots> <eastward> <fight>

1SA-13:6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait,

( for the people were distressed, ) then the people did hide

themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high

places, and in pits. <caves> <did> <distressed> <hide> <high>

1SA-13:7 And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land

of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all

the people followed him trembling. <all> <followed> <gad>

1SA-13:8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time

that Samuel [had appointed] :but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and

the people were scattered from him. <appointed> <came> <days>

1SA-13:9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and

peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. <bring>

<saul>

1SA-13:10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an

end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and

Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. <behold>

1SA-13:11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said,

Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that]

thou camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the

Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;

1SA-13:12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now

upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the

LORD:I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

1SA-13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly:thou

hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he

commanded thee:for now would the LORD have established thy

kingdom upon Israel for ever. <commanded> <commandment> <done>

<would>

1SA-13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue:the LORD hath

sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath

commanded him [to be] captain over his people, because thou hast

not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee. <after> <because>

1SA-13:15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto

Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were]

present with him, about six hundred men. <arose> <benjamin>

1SA-13:16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that

were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin:but the

Philistines encamped in Michmash. <benjamin> <encamped> <gibeah>

1SA-13:17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the

Philistines in three companies:one company turned unto the way

[that leadeth to] Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:<came> <camp>

1SA-13:18 And another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron:and

another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh

to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. <another>

1SA-13:19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land

of Israel:for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them]

swords or spears:<all> <found> <hebrews> <israel> <land> <lest>

1SA-13:20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines,

to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his ax, and

his mattock. <all> <ax> <coulter> <down> <every> <israelites>

1SA-13:21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the

coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen

the goads. <axes> <coulters> <file> <forks> <goads> <had>

1SA-13:22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there

was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the

people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan:but with Saul and with

Jonathan his son was there found. <any> <battle> <came> <day>

1SA-13:23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the

passage of Michmash. <garrison> <michmash> <passage>

1SA-14:1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son

of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and

let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that [is] on the

other side. But he told not his father. <armour> <bare> <came>

1SA-14:2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under

a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron:and the people that

[were] with him [were] about six hundred men; <gibeah> <him>

1SA-14:3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the

son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh,

wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

1SA-14:4 And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to

go over unto the Philistines' garrison, [there was] a sharp rock

on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side:and the name

of the one [was] Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

1SA-14:5 The forefront of the one [was] situate northward over

against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

1SA-14:6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour,

Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these

uncircumcised:it may be that the LORD will work for us:for

[there is] no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.

1SA-14:7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in

thine heart:turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy

heart. <all> <armourbearer> <behold> <do> <heart> <him> <said>

1SA-14:8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto

[these] men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. <behold>

1SA-14:9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you;

then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto

them. <come> <go> <place> <say> <stand> <still> <tarry> <then>

1SA-14:10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go

up:for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand:and this

[shall be] a sign unto us. <come> <delivered> <go> <hand> <hath>

1SA-14:11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the

garrison of the Philistines:and the Philistines said, Behold,

the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid

themselves. <behold> <both> <come> <discovered> <forth>

1SA-14:12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his

armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a

thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me:

for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

1SA-14:13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his

feet, and his armourbearer after him:and they fell before

Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him. <after>

1SA-14:14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his

armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an

half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow] .

<yoke>

1SA-14:15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and

among all the people:the garrison, and the spoilers, they also

trembled, and the earth quaked:so it was a very great trembling.

<very>

1SA-14:16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked;

and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating

down [one another] . <another> <away> <beating> <behold>

1SA-14:17 Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with him,

Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had

numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not

[there] . <armourbearer> <behold> <gone> <had> <him> <jonathan>

1SA-14:18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God.

For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

1SA-14:19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest,

that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went

on and increased:and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine

hand. <came> <hand> <host> <increased> <noise> <on> <pass>

1SA-14:20 And Saul and all the people that [were] with him

assembled themselves, and they came to the battle:and, behold,

every man's sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very

great discomfiture. <against> <all> <assembled> <battle>

1SA-14:21 Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines

before that time, which went up with them into the camp [from

the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the

Israelites that [were] with Saul and Jonathan. <also> <before>

1SA-14:22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid

themselves in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the

Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the

battle. <after> <all> <also> <battle> <ephraim> <even> <fled>

1SA-14:23 So the LORD saved Israel that day:and the battle

passed over unto Bethaven. <battle> <bethaven> <day> <israel>

1SA-14:24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day:for

Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that

eateth [any] food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine

enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] food. <any>

1SA-14:25 And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there

was honey upon the ground. <all> <came> <ground> <honey> <land>

1SA-14:26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold,

the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth:for the

people feared the oath. <behold> <come> <dropped> <feared>

1SA-14:27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the

people with the oath:wherefore he put forth the end of the rod

that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put

his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. <charged>

1SA-14:28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father

straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be]

the man that eateth [any] food this day. And the people were

faint. <answered> <any> <charged> <cursed> <day> <eateth>

1SA-14:29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land:

see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I

tasted a little of this honey. <because> <been> <enlightened>

1SA-14:30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to

day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had

there not been now a much greater slaughter among the

Philistines? <among> <been> <day> <eaten> <enemies> <found>

1SA-14:31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash

to Aijalon:and the people were very faint. <aijalon> <day>

1SA-14:32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep,

and oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground:and the

people did eat [them] with the blood. <blood> <calves> <did>

1SA-14:33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin

against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said,

Ye have transgressed:roll a great stone unto me this day.

1SA-14:34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people,

and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every

man his sheep, and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not

against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people

brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them]

there. <against> <all> <among> <blood> <bring> <brought>

1SA-14:35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD:the same was the

first altar that he built unto the LORD. <altar> <built> <first>

1SA-14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by

night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not

leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good

unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto

God. <after> <do> <down> <draw> <go> <god> <good> <hither>

1SA-14:37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after

the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel?

But he answered him not that day. <after> <answered> <asked>

1SA-14:38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of

the people:and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

1SA-14:39 For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though

it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was]

not a man among all the people [that] answered him. <all>

<which>

1SA-14:40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I

and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people

said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. <all> <do>

1SA-14:41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give

a perfect [lot] . And Saul and Jonathan were taken:but the

people escaped. <escaped> <give> <god> <israel> <jonathan>

1SA-14:42 And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my

son. And Jonathan was taken. <between> <cast> <jonathan> <lots>

1SA-14:43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast

done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little

honey with the end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, [and] ,

lo, I must die. <did> <die> <done> <end> <hand> <hast> <him>

1SA-14:44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also:for thou

shalt surely die, Jonathan. <also> <answered> <die> <do> <god>

1SA-14:45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who

hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid:[as] the

LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the

ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people

rescued Jonathan, that he died not. <day> <die> <died> <fall>

1SA-14:46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines:and

the Philistines went to their own place. <following> <own>

1SA-14:47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought

against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against

the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings

of Zobah, and against the Philistines:and whithersoever he

turned himself, he vexed [them] . <against> <all> <ammon>

1SA-14:48 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and

delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

1SA-14:49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and

Melchishua:and the names of his two daughters [were these] ; the

name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

1SA-14:50 And the name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam, the

daughter of Ahimaaz:and the name of the captain of his host

[was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle. <ahimaaz> <ahinoam>

1SA-14:51 And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father

of Abner [was] the son of Abiel. <father> <kish> <ner> <saul>

<son>

1SA-14:52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the

days of Saul:and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant

man, he took him unto him. <against> <all> <any> <days> <him>

1SA-15:1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint

thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel:now therefore

hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD. <also>

1SA-15:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which

Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way,

when he came up from Egypt. <amalek> <came> <did> <egypt> <him>

1SA-15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that

they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman,

infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. <all> <amalek>

1SA-15:4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered

them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand

men of Judah. <footmen> <gathered> <hundred> <judah> <men>

<two>

1SA-15:5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the

valley. <amalek> <came> <city> <laid> <saul> <valley> <wait>

1SA-15:6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you

down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them:for

ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came

up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the

Amalekites. <all> <amalekites> <among> <came> <children>

<with>

1SA-15:7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou

comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt. <against>

1SA-15:8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and

utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

1SA-15:9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of

the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs,

and all [that was] good, and would not utterly destroy them:but

every thing [that was] vile and refuse, that they destroyed

utterly. <agag> <all> <best> <destroy> <destroyed> <every>

1SA-15:10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,

1SA-15:11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king:

for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed

my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the

LORD all night. <all> <back> <commandments> <cried> <following>

1SA-15:12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning,

it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold,

he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and

gone down to Gilgal. <behold> <came> <carmel> <down> <early>

1SA-15:13 And Samuel came to Saul:and Saul said unto him,

Blessed [be] thou of the LORD:I have performed the commandment

of the LORD. <blessed> <came> <commandment> <have> <him> <lord>

1SA-15:14 And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of

the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

1SA-15:15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the

Amalekites:for the people spared the best of the sheep and of

the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we

have utterly destroyed. <amalekites> <best> <brought>

1SA-15:16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee

what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him,

Say on. <hath> <him> <lord> <night> <on> <said> <samuel> <saul>

1SA-15:17 And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own

sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel,

and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? <anointed> <head>

1SA-15:18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and

utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against

them until they be consumed. <against> <amalekites> <consumed>

1SA-15:19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the

LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight

of the LORD? <didst> <evil> <fly> <lord> <obey> <sight> <spoil>

1SA-15:20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the

voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me,

and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly

destroyed the Amalekites. <agag> <amalek> <amalekites> <brought>

1SA-15:21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the

chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to

sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal. <been> <chief>

<which>

1SA-15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in

burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the

LORD? Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to

hearken than the fat of rams. <behold> <better> <burnt>

1SA-15:23 For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and

stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast

rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from

[being] king. <also> <because> <being> <hast> <hath> <idolatry>

1SA-15:24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned:for I have

transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words:because

I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. <because>

1SA-15:25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn

again with me, that I may worship the LORD. <again> <lord> <may>

1SA-15:26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee:

for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath

rejected thee from being king over Israel. <being> <hast> <hath>

1SA-15:27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold

upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. <away> <go> <hold>

1SA-15:28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the

kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a

neighbour of thine, [that is] better than thou. <better> <day>

1SA-15:29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor

repent:for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. <also>

1SA-15:30 Then he said, I have sinned:[yet] honour me now, I

pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel,

and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

1SA-15:31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped

the LORD. <after> <again> <lord> <samuel> <saul> <so> <turned>

1SA-15:32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king

of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag

said, Surely the bitterness of death is past. <agag>

1SA-15:33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women

childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And

Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. <agag>
