1Samuel 9
King James Version Help
9Now 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.H376H1144H8034H7027H1121H22H1121H6872H1121H1064H1121H647H1145H1368H376H2428
2And 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.H1121H8034H7586H970H2896H1121H3478H2896H376H7926H4605H1364H5971
3And 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.H860H7027H7586H1H6H7027H559H7586H1121H3947H259H5288H6965H3212H1245H860
4And 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.H5674H2022H669H5674H776H8031H4672H5674H776H8171H5674H776H1145H4672
5And 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.H935H776H6689H7586H559H5288H3212H7725H1H2308H860H1672
6And 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 shew us our way that we should go.H559H5892H376H430H3513H376H1696H935H935H3212H5046H1870H1980
7Then 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?H559H7586H5288H3212H935H376H3899H235H3627H8670H935H376H430
8And 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.H5288H6030H7586H3254H559H4672H3027H7253H8255H3701H5414H376H430H5046H1870
9(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire 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.)H6440H3478H376H3212H1875H430H559H3212H3212H7200H3117H5030H6440H7121H7200
10Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.H1697H7586H5288H2896H559H3212H3212H3212H5892H376H430
11And 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?H5927H4608H5892H4672H5291H3318H7579H4325H559H3426H7200
12And 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:H6030H559H3426H6440H4116H935H3117H5892H2077H5971H3117H1116
13As 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.H935H5892H3651H4672H5927H1116H398H5971H398H935H1288H2077H310H3651H398H7121H5927H3117H4672
14And 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.H5927H8432H5892H935H5892H8050H3318H7125H5927H1116
15Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,H3068H1540H8050H241H259H3117H6440H7586H935H559
16To 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.H4279H6256H7971H376H776H1144H4886H5057H5971H3478H3467H5971H3027H6430H7200H5971H6818H935
17And 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.H8050H7200H7586H3068H6030H376H559H6113H5971
18Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.H7586H5066H8050H8432H8179H559H5046H335H7200H1004
19And 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.H8050H6030H7586H559H7200H5927H6440H1116H398H3117H1242H7971H5046H3824
20And 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?H860H6H7969H3117H3117H7760H3820H4672H2532H3478H1H1004
21And 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?H7586H6030H559H1145H6996H7626H3478H4940H6810H4940H7626H1144H1696H1697
22And 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.H8050H3947H7586H5288H935H3957H5414H7218H4725H7121H7970H376
23And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.H8050H559H2876H5414H4490H5414H559H7760
24And 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.H2876H7311H7785H7760H6440H7586H559H7604H7760H6440H398H4150H8104H559H7121H5971H7586H398H8050H3117
25And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.H3381H1116H5892H1696H7586H1406
26And 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.H7925H5927H7837H8050H7121H7586H1406H559H6965H7971H7586H6965H3318H8147H8050H2351
27And 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 shew thee the word of God.H3381H7097H5892H8050H559H7586H559H5288H5674H6440H5674H5975H3117H8085H1697H430
