“The kings ^H4428 came ^H935 and fought ^H3898;

Then ^H227 fought ^H3898 the kings ^H4428 of Canaan ^H3667

At Taanach ^H8590 near ^H5921 the waters ^H4325 of Megiddo ^H4023;

They took ^H3947 no ^H3808 gain ^H1215 of silver ^H3701.

Then he said ^H559 to Zebah ^H2078 and Zalmunna ^H6759, “What ^H375 kind ^H375 of men ^H376 were they whom ^H834 you killed ^H2026 at Tabor ^H8396?” And they said ^H559, “They were like ^H3644 you, each one ^H259 [fn]resembling ^H8389 the son ^H1121 of a king ^H4428.”

And Jephthah ^H3316 sent ^H7971 messengers ^H4397 to the king ^H4428 of the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983, saying ^H559, “What ^H4100 is between you and me, that you have come ^H935 to me to fight ^H3898 against my land ^H776?”

In those ^H1992 days ^H3117 there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478; and in those ^H1992 days ^H3117 the tribe ^H7626 of the Danites ^H1839 was seeking ^H1245 an inheritance ^H5159 for themselves to live ^H3427 in, for until ^H5704 that day ^H3117 the land among ^H8432 the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 had not fallen ^H5307 to them as an inheritance ^H5159.

Now it happened ^H1961 in those ^H1992 days ^H3117, when there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 king ^H4428 in Israel ^H3478, that there was a certain ^H376 Levite ^H3881 sojourning ^H1481 in the remote ^H3411 part ^H3411 of the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 of Ephraim ^H669, who took ^H3947 a concubine ^H6370 for himself from Bethlehem ^H1035 in Judah ^H3063.

In those ^H1992 days ^H3117 there ^H369 was ^H369 no ^H369 king ^H4428 in Israel ^H3478; everyone ^H376 did ^H6213 what ^H3477 was ^H3477 right ^H3477 in his own eyes ^H5869.

“Those who contend ^H7378 with Yahweh ^H3068 will be dismayed ^H2865;

Against ^H5921 them He will thunder ^H7481 in the heavens ^H8064;

Yahweh ^H3068 will render ^H1777 justice ^H1777 to the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776,

And He will give ^H5414 strength ^H5797 to His king ^H4428,

And He will exalt ^H7311 the [fn]horn ^H7161 of His anointed ^H4899.”

Then Samuel ^H8050 said ^H559 to all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478, “Behold ^H2009, I have listened ^H8085 to your voice ^H6963 in all ^H3605 that you said ^H559 to me, and I have [fn]appointed ^H4427 a king ^H4428 over ^H5921 you.

Then all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 said ^H559 to Samuel ^H8050, “Pray ^H6419 for your servants ^H5650 to Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430, so that we may not die ^H4191, for we have added ^H3254 to all ^H3605 our sins ^H2403 this evil ^H7451 by asking ^H7592 for ourselves a king ^H4428.”

Now Saul ^H7586 had taken ^H3920 the kingdom ^H4410 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478, and he fought ^H3898 against all ^H3605 his enemies ^H340 on every ^H5439 side ^H5439, against Moab ^H4124, the sons ^H1121 of Ammon ^H5983, Edom ^H123, the kings ^H4428 of Zobah ^H6678, and the Philistines ^H6430; and wherever ^H3605 H834 he turned ^H6437, he [fn]inflicted ^H7561 punishment ^H7561.

Then Samuel ^H8050 said ^H559 to Saul ^H7586, “Yahweh ^H3068 sent ^H7971 me to anoint ^H4886 you as king ^H4428 over ^H5921 His people ^H5971, over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478; so now ^H6258, [fn]obey ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of the words ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068.

And Samuel ^H8050 said ^H559, “Is it not true, though ^H518 you were little ^H6996 in your own eyes ^H5869, you were made the head ^H7218 of the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478? And Yahweh ^H3068 anointed ^H4886 you king ^H4428 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478,

Then Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 to Samuel ^H8050, “I did [fn]obey ^H8085 the voice ^H6963 of Yahweh ^H3068 and went ^H1980 on the way ^H1870 on which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 sent ^H7971 me and have brought ^H935 back Agag ^H90 the king ^H4428 of Amalek ^H6002 and have devoted ^H2763 the Amalekites ^H6002 to destruction ^H2763.

“For rebellion ^H4805 is as the sin ^H2403 of divination ^H7081,

And insubordination ^H6484 is as wickedness ^H205 and idolatry ^H8655.

Because ^H3282 you have rejected ^H3988 the word ^H1697 of Yahweh ^H3068,

He has also rejected ^H3988 you from being king ^H4428.”

Then Samuel ^H8050 said ^H559, “Bring ^H5066 Agag ^H90 near ^H5066 to me, the king ^H4428 of the Amalekites ^H6002.” And Agag ^H90 came ^H1980 to him [fn]in chains ^H4575. And Agag ^H90 said ^H559, “Surely ^H403 the bitterness ^H4751 of death ^H4194 has departed ^H5493.”

Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to Samuel ^H8050, “How ^H4970 long ^H5704 will you be grieving ^H56 over ^H413 Saul ^H7586? I have rejected ^H3988 him from being ^H4427 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478. Fill ^H4390 your horn ^H7161 with oil ^H8081 and go ^H1980; I will send ^H7971 you to Jesse ^H3448 the Bethlehemite ^H1022, for I see ^H7200 among his sons ^H1121 a king ^H4428 for Me.”
