1st Samuel Chapter 10 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then Samuel <H8050> took <H3947> a vial <H6378> of oil, <H8081> and poured <H3332> [it] upon his head, <H7218> and kissed <H5401> him, and said, <H0559> [Is it] not because the LORD <H3068> hath anointed <H4886> thee [to be] captain <H5057> over his inheritance? <H5159>
2: When thou art departed <H3212> from me <H5978> to day, <H3117> then thou shalt find <H4672> two <H8147> men <H0582> by Rachel's <H7354> sepulchre <H6900> in the border <H1366> of Benjamin <H1144> at Zelzah; <H6766> and they will say <H0559> unto thee, The asses <H0860> which thou wentest <H1980> to seek <H1245> are found: <H4672> and, lo, thy father <H0001> hath left <H5203> the care <H1697> of the asses, <H0860> and sorroweth <H1672> for you, saying, <H0559> What shall I do <H6213> for my son? <H1121>
3: Then shalt thou go on <H2498> forward <H1973> from thence, and thou shalt come <H0935> to the plain <H0436> of Tabor, <H8396> and there shall meet <H4672> thee three <H7969> men <H0582> going up <H5927> to God <H0430> to Bethel, <H1008> one <H0259> carrying <H5375> three <H7969> kids, <H1423> and another <H0259> carrying <H5375> three <H7969> loaves <H3603> of bread, <H3899> and another <H0259> carrying <H5375> a bottle <H5035> of wine: <H3196>
4: And they will <H7592> salute <H7965> thee, and give <H5414> thee two <H8147> [loaves] of bread; <H3899> which thou shalt receive <H3947> of their hands. <H3027>
5: After <H0310> that thou shalt come <H0935> to the hill <H1389> of God, <H0430> where [is] the garrison <H5333> of the Philistines: <H6430> and it shall come to pass, when thou art come <H0935> thither to the city, <H5892> that thou shalt meet <H6293> a company <H2256> of prophets <H5030> coming down <H3381> 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>
6: And the Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> will come <H6743> upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy <H5012> with them, and shalt be turned <H2015> into another <H0312> man. <H0376>
7: And let it be, when these signs <H0226> are come <H0935> unto thee, [that] thou do <H6213> as occasion <H4672> serve thee; <H3027> for God <H0430> [is] with thee.
8: And thou shalt go down <H3381> before <H6440> me to Gilgal; <H1537> and, behold, I will come down <H3381> unto thee, to offer <H5927> burnt offerings, <H5930> [and] to sacrifice <H2076> sacrifices <H2077> of peace offerings: <H8002> seven <H7651> days <H3117> shalt thou tarry, <H3176> till I come <H0935> to thee, and shew <H3045> thee what thou shalt do. <H6213>
9: And it was [so], that when he had turned <H6437> his back <H7926> to go <H3212> from Samuel, <H8050> God <H0430> gave <H2015> him another <H0312> heart: <H3820> and all those signs <H0226> came to pass <H0935> that day. <H3117>
10: And when they came <H0935> thither to the hill, <H1389> <H1390> behold, a company <H2256> of prophets <H5030> met <H7125> him; and the Spirit <H7307> of God <H0430> came <H6743> upon him, and he prophesied <H5012> among <H8432> them.
11: And it came to pass, when all that knew <H3045> him beforetime <H0865> <H8032> saw <H7200> that, behold, he prophesied <H5012> among the prophets, <H5030> then the people <H5971> said <H0559> one <H0376> 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: And one <H0376> of the same place answered <H6030> and said, <H0559> But who [is] their father? <H0001> Therefore it became a proverb, <H4912> [Is] Saul <H7586> also among the prophets? <H5030>
13: And when he had made an end <H3615> of prophesying, <H5012> he came <H0935> to the high place. <H1116>
14: And Saul's <H7586> uncle <H1730> said <H0559> unto him and to his servant, <H5288> Whither <H0575> went <H1980> ye? And he said, <H0559> To seek <H1245> the asses: <H0860> and when we saw <H7200> that [they were] no where, <H0369> we came <H0935> to Samuel. <H8050>
15: And Saul's <H7586> uncle <H1730> said, <H0559> Tell <H5046> me, I pray thee, what Samuel <H8050> said <H0559> unto you.
16: And Saul <H7586> said <H0559> unto his uncle, <H1730> He told <H5046> us plainly <H5046> that the asses <H0860> were found. <H4672> But of the matter <H1697> of the kingdom, <H4410> whereof Samuel <H8050> spake, <H0559> he told <H5046> him not.
17: And Samuel <H8050> called <H6817> the people <H5971> together unto the LORD <H3068> to Mizpeh; <H4709>
18: And said <H0559> unto the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> I brought up <H5927> Israel <H3478> out of Egypt, <H4714> and delivered <H5337> 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> you:
19: And ye have this day <H3117> rejected <H3988> your God, <H0430> who himself saved <H3467> you out of all your adversities <H7451> and your tribulations; <H6869> and ye have said <H0559> unto him, [Nay], but set <H7760> a king <H4428> over us. Now therefore present <H3320> yourselves before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> by your tribes, <H7626> and by your thousands. <H0505>
20: And when Samuel <H8050> had caused all the tribes <H7626> of Israel <H3478> to come near, <H7126> the tribe <H7626> of Benjamin <H1144> was taken. <H3920>
21: When he had caused the tribe <H7626> of Benjamin <H1144> to come near <H7126> by their families, <H4940> the family <H4940> of Matri <H4309> was taken, <H3920> and Saul <H7586> the son <H1121> of Kish <H7027> was taken: <H3920> and when they sought <H1245> him, he could not be found. <H4672>
22: Therefore they enquired <H7592> of the LORD <H3068> further, if the man <H0376> should yet come <H0935> thither. <H1988> And the LORD <H3068> answered, <H0559> Behold, he hath hid <H2244> himself among the stuff. <H3627>
23: And they ran <H7323> and fetched <H3947> him thence: and when he stood <H3320> among <H8432> the people, <H5971> he was higher <H1361> than any of the people <H5971> from his shoulders <H7926> and upward. <H4605>
24: And Samuel <H8050> said <H0559> to all the people, <H5971> See <H7200> ye him whom the LORD <H3068> hath chosen, <H0977> that [there is] none like him among all the people? <H5971> And all the people <H5971> shouted, <H7321> and said, <H0559> God save <H2421> the king. <H4428>
25: Then Samuel <H8050> told <H1696> the people <H5971> the manner <H4941> of the kingdom, <H4410> and wrote <H3789> [it] in a book, <H5612> and laid [it] up <H3240> before <H6440> the LORD. <H3068> And Samuel <H8050> sent all the people <H5971> away, <H7971> every man <H0376> to his house. <H1004>
26: And Saul <H7586> also went <H1980> home <H1004> to Gibeah; <H1390> and there went <H3212> with him a band of men, <H2428> whose hearts <H3820> God <H0430> had touched. <H5060>
27: But the children <H1121> of Belial <H1100> said, <H0559> How shall this man save <H3467> us? And they despised <H0959> him, and brought <H0935> him no presents. <H4503> But he held his peace. <H2790>
