1 Samuel 10 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

1Sa 10:1

1Sa 10:1Then Shemu'el took the vial of oil, and poured it on his head, and kissed him, and said, Isn't it that the LORD has anointed you to be prince over his inheritance?

1Sa 10:2

1Sa 10:2When you are departed from me today, then you shall find two men by Rachel's tomb, in the border of Binyamin at Tzeltzach; and they will tell you, The donkeys which you went to seek are found; and, behold, your father has left off caring for the donkeys, and is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

1Sa 10:3

1Sa 10:3Then shall you go on forward from there, and you shall come to the oak of Tavor; and there shall meet you there three men going up to God to Beit-El, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

1Sa 10:4

1Sa 10:4and they will Greet you, and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive of their hand.

1Sa 10:5

1Sa 10:5After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Pelishtim: and it shall happen, when you are come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:

1Sa 10:6

1Sa 10:6and the Spirit of the LORD will come mightily on you, and you shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another man.

1Sa 10:7

1Sa 10:7Let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion shall serve you; for God is with you.

1Sa 10:8

1Sa 10:8You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings: seven days shall you wait, until I come to you, and show you what you shall do.

1Sa 10:9

1Sa 10:9It was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Shemu'el, God gave him another heart: and all those signs happened that day.

1Sa 10:10

1Sa 10:10When they came there to the hill, behold, a band of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came mightily on him, and he prophesied among them.

1Sa 10:11

1Sa 10:11It happened, when all who knew him before saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come to the son of Kish? Is Sha'ul also among the prophets?

1Sa 10:12

1Sa 10:12One of the same place answered, Who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Sha'ul also among the prophets?

1Sa 10:13

1Sa 10:13When he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.

1Sa 10:14

1Sa 10:14Sha'ul's uncle said to him and to his servant, Where went you? He said, To seek the donkeys; and when we saw that they were not found, we came to Shemu'el.

1Sa 10:15

1Sa 10:15Sha'ul's uncle said, Tell me, Please, what Shemu'el said to you.

1Sa 10:16

1Sa 10:16Sha'ul said to his uncle, He told us plainly that the donkeys were found. But concerning the matter of the kingdom, whereof Shemu'el spoke, he didn't tell him.

Saul Publicly Chosen King

1Sa 10:17

1Sa 10:17Shemu'el called the people together to the LORD to Mitzpah;

1Sa 10:18

1Sa 10:18and he said to the children of Yisra'el, Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, I brought up Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim, and I delivered you out of the hand of the Mitzrim, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you:

1Sa 10:19

1Sa 10:19but you have this day rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.

1Sa 10:20

1Sa 10:20So Shemu'el brought all the tribes of Yisra'el near, and the tribe of Binyamin was taken.

1Sa 10:21

1Sa 10:21He brought the tribe of Binyamin near by their families; and the family of the Matri was taken; and Sha'ul the son of Kish was taken: but when they sought him, he could not be found.

1Sa 10:22

1Sa 10:22Therefore they asked of the LORD further, Is there yet a man to come here? the LORD answered, Behold, he has hid himself among the baggage.

1Sa 10:23

1Sa 10:23They ran and fetched him there; and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.

1Sa 10:24

1Sa 10:24Shemu'el said to all the people, "You see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?" All the people shouted, and said, Long live the king.

1Sa 10:25

1Sa 10:25Then Shemu'el told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. Shemu'el sent all the people away, every man to his house.

1Sa 10:26

1Sa 10:26Sha'ul also went to his house to Gevah; and there went with him the host, whose hearts God had touched.

1Sa 10:27

1Sa 10:27But certain worthless fellows said, How shall this man save us? They despised him, and brought him no present. But he held his shalom.
