But the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> committed<S>4603</S> a trespass<S>4604</S> in the devoted thing<S>2764</S>; for Achan<S>5912</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Carmi<S>3756</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zabdi<S>2067</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zerah<S>2226</S>, of the tribe<S>4294</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, took<S>3947</S> of the devoted thing<S>2764</S>: and the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joshua<S>3091</S>, Get thee up<S>6965</S>; wherefore art thou thus fallen<S>5307</S> upon thy face<S>6440</S>?


text:
Israel<S>3478</S> hath sinned<S>2398</S>; yea<S>5674</S>, they have even transgressed my covenant<S>1285</S> which I commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>3947</S>: yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing<S>2764</S>, and have also stolen<S>1589</S>, and dissembled<S>3584</S> also<S>7760</S>; and they have even put it among their own stuff<S>3627</S>.


text:
Therefore the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cannot<S>3201</S> stand<S>6965</S> before<S>6440</S> their enemies<S>341</S>; they turn<S>6437</S> their backs<S>6203</S> before<S>6440</S> their enemies<S>341</S>, because they are become accursed<S>2764</S>: I will not be with you any more<S>3254</S>, except<S>3808</S> ye destroy<S>8045</S> the devoted<S>2764</S> thing from among you<S>7130</S>.


text:
Up<S>6965</S>, sanctify<S>6942</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and say<S>559</S>, Sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves against to-morrow<S>4279</S>: for thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, There is a devoted thing<S>2764</S> in the midst<S>7130</S> of thee<S>3478</S>, O Israel; thou canst<S>3201</S> not stand<S>6965</S> before<S>6440</S> thine enemies<S>341</S>, until ye take away<S>5493</S> the devoted thing<S>2764</S> from among you<S>7130</S>.


text:
In the morning<S>1242</S> therefore ye shall be brought<S>7126</S> near by your tribes<S>7626</S>: and it shall be<S>7626</S>, that the tribe which Jehovah<S>3068</S> taketh<S>3920</S> shall come<S>7126</S> near by families<S>4940</S>; and the family<S>4940</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall take<S>3920</S> shall come<S>7126</S> near by households<S>1004</S>; and the household<S>1004</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall take<S>3920</S> shall come<S>7126</S> near man<S>1397</S> by man<S>1397</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>3920</S>, that he that is taken with the devoted thing<S>2764</S> shall be burnt<S>8313</S> with fire<S>784</S>, he and all that he hath<S>5674</S>; because he hath transgressed the covenant<S>1285</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and because he hath wrought<S>6213</S> folly<S>5039</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So Joshua<S>3091</S> rose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and brought<S>7126</S> Israel<S>3478</S> near by their tribes<S>7626</S>; and the tribe<S>7626</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> was taken<S>3920</S>:


text:
and he brought<S>7126</S> near the family<S>4940</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>; and he took<S>3920</S> the family<S>4940</S> of the Zerahites<S>2227</S>: and he brought<S>7126</S> near the family<S>4940</S> of the Zerahites<S>2227</S> man<S>1397</S> by man<S>1397</S>; and Zabdi<S>2067</S> was taken<S>3920</S>:


text:
and he brought<S>7126</S> near his household<S>1004</S> man<S>1397</S> by man<S>1397</S>; and Achan<S>5912</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Carmi<S>3756</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zabdi<S>2067</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zerah<S>2226</S>, of the tribe<S>4294</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S> unto Achan<S>5912</S>, My son<S>1121</S>, give<S>7760</S>, I pray thee<S>3519</S>, glory to Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and make<S>5414</S> confession<S>8426</S> unto him<S>5046</S>; and tell me now what thou hast done<S>6213</S>; hide it not from me<S>3582</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> sent<S>7971</S> men<S>582</S> from Jericho<S>3405</S> to Ai<S>5857</S>, which is beside<S>5973</S> Beth-aven<S>1007</S>, on the east side<S>6924</S> of Beth-el<S>1008</S>, and spake<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, saying, Go up<S>5927</S> and spy<S>7270</S> out the land<S>776</S>. And the men<S>582</S> went up<S>5927</S> and spied<S>7270</S> out Ai<S>5857</S>.


text:
And Achan<S>5912</S> answered<S>6030</S> Joshua<S>3091</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Of a truth<S>546</S> I have sinned<S>2398</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and thus and thus have I done<S>6213</S>:


text:
when I saw<S>7200</S> among the spoil<S>7998</S> a<S>259</S> goodly<S>2896</S> Babylonish<S>8152</S> mantle<S>155</S>, and two hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and a<S>259</S> wedge<S>3956</S> of gold<S>2091</S> of fifty<S>2572</S> shekels<S>8255</S> weight<S>4948</S>, then I coveted<S>2530</S> them<S>3947</S>, and took them<S>2934</S>; and, behold, they are hid in the earth<S>776</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of my tent<S>168</S>, and the silver under it<S>3701</S>.


text:
So Joshua<S>3091</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and they ran<S>7323</S> unto the tent<S>168</S>; and<S>2934</S>, behold, it was hid in his tent<S>168</S>, and the silver under it<S>3701</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> them from the midst<S>8432</S> of the tent<S>168</S>, and brought<S>935</S> them unto Joshua<S>3091</S>, and unto all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and they laid them down<S>3332</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>3947</S>, took Achan<S>5912</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zerah<S>2226</S>, and the silver<S>3701</S>, and the mantle<S>155</S>, and the wedge<S>3956</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and his sons<S>1121</S>, and his daughters<S>1323</S>, and his oxen<S>7794</S>, and his asses<S>2543</S>, and his sheep<S>6629</S>, and his tent<S>168</S>, and all that he had<S>5927</S>: and they brought them up unto the valley<S>6010</S> of Achor<S>5911</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S>, Why<S>4100</S> hast thou troubled<S>5916</S> us<S>3068</S>? Jehovah shall trouble<S>5916</S> thee this day<S>3117</S>. And all Israel<S>3478</S> stoned<S>7275</S> him with stones<S>68</S>; and they burned<S>8313</S> them with fire<S>784</S>, and stoned<S>5619</S> them with stones<S>68</S>.


text:
And they raised<S>6965</S> over him a great<S>1419</S> heap<S>1530</S> of stones<S>68</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> turned<S>7725</S> from the fierceness<S>2740</S> of his anger<S>639</S>. Wherefore the name<S>8034</S> of that place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S>, The valley<S>6010</S> of Achor<S>5911</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And they returned<S>7725</S> to Joshua<S>3091</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5971</S>, Let not all the people go up<S>5927</S>; but let about two or three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> go up<S>5927</S> and smite<S>5221</S> Ai<S>5857</S>; make not all the people<S>5971</S> to toil<S>3021</S> thither<S>4592</S>; for they are but few.


text:
So there went up<S>5927</S> thither of the people<S>5971</S> about three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>: and they fled<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> the men<S>582</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Ai<S>5857</S> smote<S>5221</S> of them about thirty<S>7970</S> and six<S>8337</S> men<S>376</S>; and they chased<S>7291</S> them from before<S>6440</S> the gate<S>8179</S> even unto Shebarim<S>7671</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> them at the descent<S>4174</S>; and the hearts<S>3824</S> of the people<S>5971</S> melted<S>4549</S>, and became as water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> rent<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>8071</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> until the evening<S>6153</S>, he and the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and they put<S>5927</S> dust<S>6083</S> upon their heads<S>7218</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> Jehovah<S>3069</S>, wherefore hast thou at all<S>5674</S> brought<S>5674</S> this people<S>5971</S> over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, to deliver<S>5414</S> us into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, to cause us to perish<S>6</S>? would<S>3863</S> that we had been content<S>2974</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>!


text:
Oh<S>994</S>, Lord<S>136</S>, what shall I say<S>559</S>, after that<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S> hath turned<S>2015</S> their backs<S>6203</S> before<S>6440</S> their enemies<S>341</S>!


text:
For the Canaanites<S>3669</S> and all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S> will hear<S>8085</S> of it<S>5437</S>, and will compass us round, and cut off<S>3772</S> our name<S>8034</S> from the earth<S>776</S>: and what wilt thou do<S>6213</S> for thy great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>?


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joshua<S>3091</S>, Fear<S>3372</S> not<S>2865</S>, neither be thou dismayed: take<S>3947</S> all the people<S>5971</S> of war<S>4421</S> with thee<S>6965</S>, and arise, go up<S>5927</S> to Ai<S>5857</S>; see<S>7200</S>, I have given<S>5414</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>, and his people<S>5971</S>, and his city<S>5892</S>, and his land<S>776</S>;


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> arose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and mustered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and went up<S>5927</S>, he and the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, before<S>6440</S> the people<S>5971</S> to Ai<S>5857</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S>, even the men of war<S>4421</S> that were with him<S>5927</S>, went up, and drew nigh<S>5066</S>, and came<S>935</S> before the city<S>5892</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> on the north side<S>6828</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>: now there was a valley<S>1516</S> between him and Ai<S>5857</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> about five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and set<S>7760</S> them in ambush<S>693</S> between Beth-el<S>1008</S> and Ai<S>5857</S>, on the west side<S>3220</S> of the city<S>5857</S>.


text:
So they set<S>7760</S> the people<S>5971</S>, even all the host<S>4264</S> that was on the north<S>6828</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and their liers-in<S>6119</S>-wait that were on the west<S>3220</S> of the city<S>5892</S>; and Joshua<S>3091</S> went<S>3212</S> that night<S>3915</S> into the midst<S>8432</S> of the valley<S>6010</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king of Ai<S>5857</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>4116</S>, that they hasted and rose up early<S>7925</S>, and the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> Israel<S>3478</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, he and all his people<S>5971</S>, at the time appointed<S>4150</S>, before<S>6440</S> the Arabah<S>6160</S>; but he knew<S>3045</S> not that there was an ambush<S>693</S> against him behind<S>310</S> the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> made as if they were beaten<S>5060</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>5127</S>, and fled by the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> that were in the city<S>5857</S> were called<S>2199</S> together to pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> them<S>7291</S>: and they pursued after<S>310</S> Joshua<S>3091</S>, and were drawn away<S>5423</S> from the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And there was not a man<S>376</S> left<S>7604</S> in Ai<S>5857</S> or Beth-el<S>1008</S>, that went not out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and they left<S>5800</S> the city<S>5892</S> open<S>6605</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> after Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joshua<S>3091</S>, Stretch out<S>5186</S> the javelin<S>3591</S> that is in thy hand<S>3027</S> toward Ai<S>5857</S>; for I will give<S>5414</S> it into thy hand<S>3027</S>. And Joshua<S>3091</S> stretched out<S>5186</S> the javelin<S>3591</S> that was in his hand<S>3027</S> toward the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And the ambush<S>693</S> arose<S>6965</S> quickly<S>4120</S> out of their place<S>4725</S>, and they ran<S>7323</S> as soon as he had stretched out<S>5186</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and took<S>3920</S> it<S>4116</S>; and they hasted and set<S>3341</S> the city<S>5892</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And thou shalt do<S>6213</S> to Ai<S>5857</S> and her king<S>4428</S> as thou didst<S>6213</S> unto Jericho<S>3405</S> and her king<S>4428</S>: only the spoil<S>7998</S> thereof<S>929</S>, and the cattle thereof<S>962</S>, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves<S>7760</S>: set thee an ambush<S>693</S> for the city<S>5892</S> behind it<S>310</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of Ai<S>5857</S> looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> them<S>7200</S>, they saw, and<S>6227</S>, behold, the smoke of the city<S>5892</S> ascended up<S>5927</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>, and they had no power<S>3027</S> to flee<S>5127</S> this way or that way<S>2008</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> that fled<S>5127</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> turned back<S>2015</S> upon the pursuers<S>7291</S>.


text:
And when Joshua<S>3091</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that the ambush<S>693</S> had taken<S>3920</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and that the smoke<S>6227</S> of the city<S>5892</S> ascended<S>5927</S>, then they turned again<S>7725</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> the men<S>582</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>.

And the others<S>428</S> came forth<S>3318</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> against<S>7125</S> them<S>8432</S>; so they were in the midst of Israel<S>3478</S>, some on this side<S>5221</S>, and some on that side: and they smote them<S>5704</S>, so that they let<S>7604</S> none of them remain<S>8300</S> or escape<S>6412</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Ai<S>5857</S> they took<S>8610</S> alive<S>2416</S>, and brought<S>7126</S> him to Joshua<S>3091</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3478</S>, when Israel had made an end<S>3615</S> of slaying<S>2026</S> all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Ai<S>5857</S> in the field<S>7704</S>, in the wilderness<S>4057</S> wherein they pursued<S>7291</S> them<S>5307</S>, and they were all fallen by the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, until they were consumed<S>8552</S>, that all Israel<S>3478</S> returned<S>7725</S> unto Ai<S>5857</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> it with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And all that fell<S>5307</S> that day<S>3117</S>, both of men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, were twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S>, even all the men<S>376</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>.


text:
For Joshua<S>3091</S> drew<S>7725</S> not back<S>7725</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, wherewith he stretched out<S>5186</S> the javelin<S>3591</S>, until he had utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>.


text:
Only the cattle<S>929</S> and the spoil<S>7998</S> of that city<S>5892</S> Israel<S>3478</S> took for prey<S>962</S> unto themselves<S>1697</S>, according unto the word of Jehovah<S>3068</S> which he commanded<S>6680</S> Joshua<S>3091</S>.


text:
So Joshua<S>3091</S> burnt<S>8313</S> Ai<S>5857</S>, and made<S>7760</S> it a heap<S>8510</S> for ever<S>5769</S>, even a desolation<S>8077</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Ai<S>5857</S> he hanged<S>8518</S> on a tree<S>6086</S> until the eventide<S>6256</S>: and at the going down<S>935</S> of the sun<S>8121</S> Joshua<S>3091</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, and they took<S>3381</S> his body<S>5038</S> down<S>3381</S> from the tree<S>6086</S>, and cast<S>7993</S> it at the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and raised<S>6965</S> thereon a great<S>1419</S> heap<S>1530</S> of stones<S>68</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Joshua<S>3091</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> of war<S>4421</S>, to go up<S>5927</S> to Ai<S>5857</S>: and Joshua<S>3091</S> chose out<S>977</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>1368</S>, the mighty men<S>376</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, and sent them forth<S>7971</S> by night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Then Joshua<S>3091</S> built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, in mount<S>2022</S> Ebal<S>5858</S>,


text:
as Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> commanded<S>6680</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, an altar<S>4196</S> of unhewn<S>8003</S> stones<S>68</S>, upon which no man had lifted up<S>5130</S> any iron<S>1270</S>: and they offered<S>5927</S> thereon burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and sacrificed<S>2076</S> peace-offerings<S>5930</S>.


text:
And he wrote<S>3789</S> there upon the stones<S>68</S> a copy<S>4932</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, which he wrote<S>3789</S>, in the presence<S>6440</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S>, and their elders<S>2205</S> and officers<S>7860</S>, and their judges<S>8199</S>, stood<S>5975</S> on this side of the ark<S>727</S> and on that side before the priests<S>3548</S> the Levites<S>3881</S>, that bare<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, as well the sojourner<S>1616</S> as the homeborn<S>249</S>; half<S>2677</S> of them in<S>413</S> front<S>4136</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Gerizim<S>1630</S>, and half<S>2677</S> of them in front<S>4136</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Ebal<S>5858</S>; as Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> at the first<S>7223</S>, that they should bless<S>1288</S> the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And afterward<S>310</S> he read<S>7121</S> all the words<S>1697</S> of the law<S>8451</S>, the blessing<S>1293</S> and the curse<S>7045</S>, according to all that is written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S>.


text:
There was not a word<S>1697</S> of all that Moses<S>4872</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, which Joshua<S>3091</S> read<S>7121</S> not before all the assembly<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the women<S>802</S>, and the little ones<S>2945</S>, and the sojourners<S>1616</S> that were<S>1980</S> among them<S>7130</S>.


text:
And he commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>7200</S>, ye shall lie in ambush<S>693</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, behind<S>310</S> the city<S>5892</S>; go<S>7368</S> not very<S>3966</S> far<S>7368</S> from the city<S>5892</S>, but be ye all ready<S>3559</S>:


text:
and I<S>5971</S>, and all the people that are with me<S>7126</S>, will approach unto the city<S>5892</S>. And it shall come to pass<S>3318</S>, when they come out against<S>7125</S> us<S>7223</S>, as at the first, that we will flee<S>5127</S> before them<S>6440</S>;


text:
and they will come out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> us<S>5423</S>, till we have drawn them away from the city<S>5892</S>; for they will say<S>559</S>, They flee<S>5127</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>7223</S>, as at the first: so we will flee<S>5127</S> before them<S>6440</S>;


text:
and ye shall rise up<S>6965</S> from the ambush<S>693</S>, and take possession<S>3423</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: for Jehovah<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> will deliver<S>5414</S> it into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>8610</S>, when ye have seized upon the city<S>5892</S>, that ye shall set<S>3341</S> the city<S>5892</S> on fire<S>784</S>; according to the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall ye do<S>6213</S>: see<S>7200</S>, I have commanded you<S>6680</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> sent them forth<S>7971</S>; and they went<S>3212</S> to the ambushment<S>3993</S>, and abode<S>3427</S> between Beth-el<S>1008</S> and Ai<S>5857</S>, on the west side<S>3220</S> of Ai<S>5857</S>: but Joshua<S>3091</S> lodged<S>3885</S> that night<S>3915</S> among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when all the kings that were beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, in the hill-country<S>2022</S>, and in the lowland<S>8219</S>, and on all the shore<S>2348</S> of the great<S>1419</S> sea<S>3220</S> in front<S>4136</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>, the Hittite<S>2850</S>, and the Amorite<S>567</S>, the Canaanite<S>3669</S>, the Perizzite<S>6522</S>, the Hivite<S>2340</S>, and the Jebusite<S>2983</S>, heard thereof<S>8085</S>;


text:
and all that he did<S>6213</S> to the two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, that were beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>, to Sihon<S>5511</S> king<S>4428</S> of Heshbon<S>2809</S>, and to Og<S>5747</S> king<S>4428</S> of Bashan<S>1316</S>, who was at Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>.


text:
And our elders<S>2205</S> and all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of our country<S>776</S> spake<S>559</S> to us<S>559</S>, saying, Take<S>3947</S> provision<S>6720</S> in your<S>3027</S> hand for the journey<S>1870</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> them<S>559</S>, and say unto them<S>5650</S>, We are your servants: and now make<S>3772</S> ye a covenant with us<S>1285</S>.


text:
This our bread<S>3899</S> we took hot<S>2525</S> for our provision<S>6679</S> out of our houses<S>1004</S> on the day<S>3117</S> we came forth<S>3318</S> to go<S>3212</S> unto you<S>3001</S>; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy<S>5350</S>:


text:
and these wine<S>3196</S> - skins<S>4997</S>, which we filled<S>4390</S>, were new<S>2319</S>; and<S>1234</S>, behold, they are rent: and these our garments<S>8008</S> and our shoes<S>5275</S> are become old<S>1086</S> by reason of the very<S>3966</S> long<S>7230</S> journey<S>1870</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> took<S>3947</S> of their provision<S>6718</S>, and asked<S>7592</S> not counsel at the mouth<S>6310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> made<S>6213</S> peace<S>7965</S> with them<S>3772</S>, and made a covenant<S>1285</S> with them<S>2421</S>, to let them live: and the princes<S>5387</S> of the congregation<S>5712</S> sware unto them<S>7650</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7097</S> of three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> after<S>310</S> they had made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with them<S>8085</S>, that they heard that they were their neighbors<S>7138</S>, and that they dwelt<S>3427</S> among them<S>7130</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> journeyed<S>5265</S>, and came<S>935</S> unto their cities<S>5892</S> on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>. Now their cities<S>5892</S> were Gibeon<S>1391</S>, and Chephirah<S>3716</S>, and Beeroth<S>881</S>, and Kiriath-jearim<S>7157</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> smote<S>5221</S> them not<S>5387</S>, because the princes of the congregation<S>5712</S> had sworn<S>7650</S> unto them by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And all the congregation<S>5712</S> murmured<S>3885</S> against the princes<S>5387</S>.


text:
But all the princes<S>5387</S> said<S>559</S> unto all the congregation<S>5712</S>, We have sworn<S>7650</S> unto them by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: now therefore we may<S>3201</S> not touch them<S>5060</S>.


text:
that they gathered<S>6908</S> themselves together<S>3162</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> with Joshua<S>3091</S> and with Israel<S>3478</S>, with one<S>259</S> accord<S>6310</S>.


text:
This we will do<S>6213</S> to them<S>2421</S>, and let them live; lest wrath<S>7110</S> be upon us<S>7621</S>, because of the oath which we sware unto them<S>7650</S>.


text:
And the princes<S>5387</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2421</S>, Let them live: so they became hewers<S>2404</S> of wood<S>6086</S> and drawers<S>7579</S> of water<S>4325</S> unto all the congregation<S>5712</S>, as the princes<S>5387</S> had spoken unto them<S>1696</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> called<S>7121</S> for them<S>1696</S>, and he spake unto them<S>559</S>, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled<S>7411</S> us<S>559</S>, saying, We are very<S>3966</S> far<S>7350</S> from you<S>3427</S>; when ye dwell among us<S>7130</S>?


text:
Now therefore ye are cursed<S>779</S>, and there shall never fail<S>3772</S> to be of you bondmen<S>5650</S>, both hewers<S>2404</S> of wood<S>6086</S> and drawers<S>7579</S> of water<S>4325</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of my God<S>430</S>.


text:
And they answered<S>6030</S> Joshua<S>3091</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Because it was certainly<S>5046</S> told<S>5046</S> thy servants<S>5650</S>, how that Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Moses<S>4872</S> to give<S>5414</S> you all the land<S>776</S>, and to destroy<S>8045</S> all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S> from before<S>6440</S> you<S>3966</S>; therefore we were sore afraid<S>3372</S> for our lives<S>5315</S> because<S>6440</S> of you<S>6213</S>, and have done this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And now<S>2009</S>, behold, we are in thy hand<S>3027</S>: as it seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> and right<S>3477</S> unto thee to do<S>6213</S> unto us<S>6213</S>, do.


text:
And so did<S>6213</S> he unto them<S>5337</S>, and delivered them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that they slew them not<S>2026</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> made<S>5414</S> them that day<S>3117</S> hewers<S>2404</S> of wood<S>6086</S> and drawers<S>7579</S> of water<S>4325</S> for the congregation<S>5712</S>, and for the altar<S>4196</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>, in the place<S>4725</S> which he should choose<S>977</S>.


text:
But when the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Gibeon<S>1391</S> heard<S>8085</S> what Joshua<S>3091</S> had done<S>6213</S> unto Jericho<S>3405</S> and to Ai<S>5857</S>,


text:
they also did work<S>6213</S> wilily<S>6195</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and made as if they had been ambassadors<S>6737</S>, and took<S>3947</S> old<S>1087</S> sacks<S>8242</S> upon their asses<S>2543</S>, and wine<S>3196</S> - skins<S>4997</S>, old<S>1087</S> and rent<S>1234</S> and bound up<S>6887</S>,


text:
and old<S>1087</S> and patched<S>2921</S> shoes<S>5275</S> upon their feet<S>7272</S>, and old<S>1087</S> garments<S>8008</S> upon them<S>3899</S>; and all the bread of their provision<S>6718</S> was dry<S>3001</S> and was become mouldy<S>5350</S>.


text:
And they went<S>3212</S> to Joshua<S>3091</S> unto the camp<S>4264</S> at Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, and to the men of Israel<S>3478</S>, We are come<S>935</S> from a far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S>: now therefore make<S>3772</S> ye a covenant with us<S>1285</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto the Hivites<S>2340</S>, Peradventure<S>194</S> ye dwell<S>3427</S> among<S>7130</S> us<S>3772</S>; and how shall we make a covenant with you<S>1285</S>?


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto Joshua<S>3091</S>, We are thy servants<S>5650</S>. And Joshua<S>3091</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>370</S>, Who are ye? and from whence come ye<S>935</S>?


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3966</S>, From a very far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S> thy servants<S>5650</S> are come<S>935</S> because of the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>: for we have heard<S>8085</S> the fame<S>8089</S> of him<S>6213</S>, and all that he did in Egypt<S>4714</S>,


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>, that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> asked<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Who shall go up<S>5927</S> for us first<S>8462</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, to fight against them<S>3898</S>?


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>3212</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S> that dwelt<S>3427</S> in Hebron<S>2275</S> (now the name<S>8034</S> of Hebron<S>2275</S> beforetime<S>6440</S> was Kiriath-arba<S>7153</S>); and they smote<S>5221</S> Sheshai<S>8344</S>, and Ahiman<S>289</S>, and Talmai<S>8526</S>.


text:
And from thence he went<S>3212</S> against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Debir<S>1688</S>. (Now the name<S>8034</S> of Debir<S>1688</S> beforetime<S>6440</S> was Kiriath-sepher<S>7158</S>.)


text:
And Othniel<S>6274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kenaz<S>7073</S>, Caleb<S>3612</S>'s younger<S>6996</S> brother<S>251</S>, took<S>3920</S> it<S>5414</S>: and he gave him Achsah<S>5915</S> his daughter<S>1323</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when she came unto him<S>5496</S>, that she moved him to ask<S>7592</S> of her father<S>1</S> a field<S>7704</S>: and she alighted<S>6795</S> from off her ass<S>2543</S>; and Caleb<S>3612</S> said unto her<S>559</S>, What wouldest thou?

And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3051</S>, Give me a blessing<S>1293</S>; for that thou hast set<S>5414</S> me in the land<S>776</S> of the South<S>5045</S>, give<S>5414</S> me also springs<S>1543</S> of water<S>4325</S>. And Caleb<S>3612</S> gave<S>5414</S> her the upper<S>5942</S> springs<S>1543</S> and the nether<S>8482</S> springs<S>1543</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of the Kenite<S>7017</S>, Moses<S>4872</S>' brother-in<S>2859</S>-law, went up<S>5927</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of palm-trees<S>8558</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, which is in the south<S>5045</S> of Arad<S>6166</S>; and they went<S>3212</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> with<S>854</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>3212</S> with Simeon<S>8095</S> his brother<S>251</S>, and they smote<S>5221</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> that inhabited<S>3427</S> Zephath<S>6857</S>, and utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> it<S>8034</S>. And the name of the city<S>5892</S> was called<S>7121</S> Hormah<S>2767</S>.


text:
Also Judah<S>3063</S> took<S>3920</S> Gaza<S>5804</S> with the border<S>1366</S> thereof<S>831</S>, and Ashkelon with the border<S>1366</S> thereof<S>6138</S>, and Ekron with the border thereof<S>1366</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> was with Judah<S>3063</S>; and drove out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants of the hill-country<S>2022</S>; for he could not<S>3808</S> drive out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the valley<S>6010</S>, because they had chariots<S>7393</S> of iron<S>1270</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Judah<S>3063</S> shall go up<S>5927</S>: behold<S>5414</S>, I have delivered the land<S>776</S> into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And they gave<S>5414</S> Hebron<S>2275</S> unto Caleb<S>3612</S>, as Moses<S>4872</S> had spoken<S>1696</S>: and he drove<S>3423</S> out thence the three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Anak<S>6061</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> did not drive out<S>3423</S> the Jebusites<S>2983</S> that inhabited<S>3427</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; but the Jebusites<S>2983</S> dwell<S>3427</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S>, they also went up<S>5927</S> against Beth-el<S>1008</S>; and Jehovah was with them<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S> sent to spy<S>8446</S> out Beth-el<S>1008</S>. (Now the name<S>8034</S> of the city<S>5892</S> beforetime<S>6440</S> was Luz<S>3870</S>.)


text:
And the watchers<S>8104</S> saw<S>7200</S> a man<S>376</S> come forth<S>3318</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>, and they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7200</S>, Show us<S>3996</S>, we pray thee, the entrance into the city<S>5892</S>, and we will deal<S>6213</S> kindly with thee<S>2617</S>.


text:
And he showed<S>7200</S> them the entrance<S>3996</S> into the city<S>5892</S>; and they smote<S>5221</S> the city<S>5892</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; but they let the man<S>376</S> go<S>7971</S> and all his family<S>4940</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> went<S>3212</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and built<S>1129</S> a city<S>5892</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> thereof Luz<S>3870</S>, which is the name<S>8034</S> thereof unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Manasseh<S>4519</S> did not drive out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants of Beth-shean<S>1052</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>, nor of Taanach<S>8590</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>, nor the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Dor<S>1756</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>, nor the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Ibleam<S>2991</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>, nor the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Megiddo<S>4023</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>; but the Canaanites<S>3669</S> would<S>2974</S> dwell<S>3427</S> in that land<S>776</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3478</S>, when Israel was waxed strong<S>2388</S>, that they put<S>7760</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> to taskwork<S>4522</S>, and did not utterly<S>3423</S> drive them out<S>3423</S>.


text:
And Ephraim<S>669</S> drove not out<S>3423</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> that dwelt<S>3427</S> in Gezer<S>1507</S>; but the Canaanites<S>3669</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Gezer<S>1507</S> among them<S>7130</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> said<S>559</S> unto Simeon<S>8095</S> his brother<S>251</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> with me into my lot<S>1486</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S>; and I likewise will go<S>1980</S> with thee into thy lot<S>1486</S>. So Simeon<S>8095</S> went with him<S>3212</S>.


text:
Zebulun<S>2074</S> drove not out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Kitron<S>7003</S>, nor the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Nahalol<S>5096</S>; but the Canaanites<S>3669</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> among<S>7130</S> them<S>4522</S>, and became subject to taskwork.


text:
Asher<S>836</S> drove not out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Acco<S>5910</S>, nor the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Sidon<S>6721</S>, nor of Ahlab<S>303</S>, nor of Achzib<S>392</S>, nor of Helbah<S>2462</S>, nor of Aphik<S>663</S>, nor of Rehob<S>7340</S>;


text:
but the Asherites<S>843</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> among<S>7130</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>; for they did not drive them out<S>3423</S>.


text:
Naphtali<S>5321</S> drove not out<S>3423</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S>, nor the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Beth-anath<S>1043</S>; but he dwelt<S>3427</S> among<S>7130</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>: nevertheless the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Beth-shemesh<S>1053</S> and of Beth-anath<S>1043</S> became subject to taskwork<S>4522</S>.


text:
And the Amorites<S>567</S> forced<S>3905</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> into the hill-country<S>2022</S>; for they would not suffer<S>5414</S> them to come down<S>3381</S> to the valley<S>6010</S>;


text:
but the Amorites<S>567</S> would<S>2974</S> dwell<S>3427</S> in mount<S>2022</S> Heres<S>2776</S>, in Aijalon<S>357</S>, and in Shaalbim<S>8169</S>: yet the hand<S>3027</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Joseph<S>3130</S> prevailed<S>3513</S>, so that they became subject to taskwork<S>4522</S>.


text:
And the border<S>1366</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S> was from the ascent<S>4608</S> of Akrabbim<S>4610</S>, from the rock<S>5553</S>, and upward<S>4605</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> went up<S>5927</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> and the Perizzites<S>6522</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>: and they smote<S>5221</S> of them in Bezek<S>966</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And they found<S>4672</S> Adoni-bezek<S>137</S> in Bezek<S>966</S>; and they fought<S>3898</S> against him<S>5221</S>, and they smote the Canaanites<S>3669</S> and the Perizzites<S>6522</S>.


text:
But Adoni-bezek<S>137</S> fled<S>5127</S>; and they pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>270</S>, and caught him<S>7112</S>, and cut off his thumbs<S>931</S> and his great toes<S>7272</S>.


text:
And Adoni-bezek<S>137</S> said<S>559</S>, Threescore and ten<S>7657</S> kings<S>4428</S>, having their thumbs<S>931</S> and their great toes<S>7272</S> cut off<S>7112</S>, gathered<S>3950</S> their food under my table<S>7979</S>: as I have done<S>6213</S>, so God<S>430</S> hath requited<S>7999</S> me<S>935</S>. And they brought him to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and he died there<S>4191</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> fought<S>3898</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and took<S>3920</S> it<S>5221</S>, and smote it with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, and set<S>7971</S> the city<S>5892</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And afterward<S>310</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went down<S>3381</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the Canaanites<S>3669</S> that dwelt<S>3427</S> in the hill-country<S>2022</S>, and in the South<S>5045</S>, and in the lowland<S>8219</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> there arose<S>6965</S> to save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> Tola<S>8439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Puah<S>6312</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Dodo<S>1734</S>, a man<S>376</S> of Issachar<S>3485</S>; and he dwelt<S>3427</S> in Shamir<S>8069</S> in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S> against thee<S>5800</S>, even because we have forsaken our God<S>430</S>, and have served<S>5647</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Did not I save you from the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, and from the Amorites<S>567</S>, from the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and from the Philistines<S>6430</S>?


text:
The Sidonians<S>6722</S> also<S>6002</S>, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites<S>4584</S>, did oppress<S>3905</S> you<S>6817</S>; and ye cried unto me<S>3467</S>, and I saved you out of their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Yet ye have forsaken<S>5800</S> me<S>5647</S>, and served other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>: wherefore I will save<S>3467</S> you no more<S>3254</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S> and cry<S>2199</S> unto the gods<S>430</S> which ye have chosen<S>977</S>; let them<S>1992</S> save<S>3467</S> you in the time<S>6256</S> of your distress<S>6869</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>: do<S>6213</S> thou unto us whatsoever seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> unto thee<S>5337</S>; only deliver us<S>3117</S>, we pray thee, this day.


text:
And they put away<S>5493</S> the foreign<S>5236</S> gods<S>430</S> from among<S>7130</S> them<S>5647</S>, and served Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and his soul<S>5315</S> was grieved<S>7114</S> for the misery<S>5999</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Gilead<S>1568</S>. And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S>, the princes<S>8269</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, What man<S>376</S> is he that will begin<S>2490</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>? he shall be head<S>7218</S> over all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, and died<S>4191</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Shamir<S>8069</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him arose<S>6965</S> Jair<S>2971</S>, the Gileadite<S>1569</S>; and he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he had thirty<S>7970</S> sons<S>1121</S> that rode<S>7392</S> on thirty<S>7970</S> ass colts<S>5895</S>, and they had thirty<S>7970</S> cities<S>5892</S>, which are called<S>7121</S> Havvoth-jair<S>2334</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>, which are in the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> again<S>3254</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S>, and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of Sidon<S>6721</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and the gods<S>430</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and they forsook<S>5800</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and served him not<S>5647</S>.


text:
And the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And they vexed<S>7492</S> and oppressed<S>7533</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that year<S>8141</S>: eighteen<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S> oppressed they all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> in the land<S>776</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, which is in Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> passed over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> to fight<S>3898</S> also against Judah<S>3063</S>, and against Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and against the house<S>1004</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>; so that Israel<S>3478</S> was sore<S>3966</S> distressed<S>3334</S>.


text:
Now Jephthah<S>3316</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> was a mighty man<S>1368</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, and he was the son<S>1121</S> of a harlot<S>802</S>: and Gilead<S>1568</S> begat<S>3205</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S>.


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall be witness<S>8085</S> between us<S>1697</S>; surely according to thy word so will we do<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then Jephthah<S>3316</S> went<S>3212</S> with the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> made<S>7760</S> him head<S>7218</S> and chief<S>7101</S> over them<S>3316</S>: and Jephthah spake<S>1696</S> all his words<S>1697</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What hast thou to do with me<S>935</S>, that thou art come unto me to fight<S>3898</S> against my land<S>776</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> answered<S>559</S> unto the messengers<S>4397</S> of Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Because Israel<S>3478</S> took away<S>3947</S> my land<S>776</S>, when he came up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from the Arnon<S>769</S> even unto the Jabbok<S>2999</S>, and unto the Jordan<S>3383</S>: now therefore restore those lands again<S>7725</S> peaceably<S>7965</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>3254</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>;


text:
and he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus saith Jephthah<S>3316</S>: Israel<S>3478</S> took not away<S>3947</S> the land<S>776</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, nor the land<S>776</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>,


text:
but when they came up<S>5927</S> from Egypt<S>4714</S>, and Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> through the wilderness<S>4057</S> unto the Red<S>5488</S> Sea<S>3220</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Kadesh<S>6946</S>;


text:
then Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let me<S>5674</S>, I pray thee, pass through thy land<S>776</S>; but the king<S>4428</S> of Edom<S>123</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not<S>7971</S>. And in like manner he sent unto the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>; but he would<S>14</S> not<S>3478</S>: and Israel abode<S>3427</S> in Kadesh<S>6946</S>.

Then they went through<S>3212</S> the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and went around<S>5437</S> the land<S>776</S> of Edom<S>123</S>, and the land<S>776</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and came<S>935</S> by the east side<S>4217</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and they encamped<S>2583</S> on the other side<S>5676</S> of the Arnon<S>769</S>; but they came<S>935</S> not within the border<S>1366</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, for the Arnon<S>769</S> was the border<S>1366</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto Sihon<S>5511</S> king<S>4428</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, the king<S>4428</S> of Heshbon<S>2809</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5674</S>, Let us pass, we pray thee<S>776</S>, through thy land unto<S>5704</S> my place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And Gilead<S>1568</S>'s wife<S>802</S> bare<S>3205</S> him sons<S>1121</S>; and when his wife<S>802</S>'s sons<S>1121</S> grew up<S>1431</S>, they drove out<S>1644</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5157</S>, Thou shalt not inherit in our father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; for thou art the son<S>1121</S> of another<S>312</S> woman<S>802</S>.


text:
But Sihon<S>5511</S> trusted<S>539</S> not Israel<S>3478</S> to pass<S>5674</S> through his border<S>1366</S>; but Sihon<S>5511</S> gathered<S>622</S> all his people<S>5971</S> together<S>622</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Jahaz<S>3096</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, delivered<S>5414</S> Sihon<S>5511</S> and all his people<S>5971</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and they smote<S>5221</S> them<S>3478</S>: so Israel possessed<S>3423</S> all the land<S>776</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of that country<S>776</S>.


text:
And they possessed<S>3423</S> all the border<S>1366</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, from the Arnon<S>769</S> even unto the Jabbok<S>2999</S>, and from the wilderness<S>4057</S> even unto the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
So now Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, hath dispossessed<S>3423</S> the Amorites<S>567</S> from before<S>6440</S> his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and shouldest thou possess them<S>3423</S>?


text:
Wilt not thou possess<S>3423</S> that which Chemosh<S>3645</S> thy god<S>430</S> giveth thee to possess<S>3423</S>? So whomsoever Jehovah<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> hath dispossessed<S>3423</S> from before<S>6440</S> us<S>3423</S>, them will we possess.


text:
And now art thou anything better<S>2896</S> than Balak<S>1111</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zippor<S>6834</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>? did he ever<S>7378</S> strive<S>7378</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, or did he ever<S>7378</S> fight against them<S>3898</S>?


text:
While Israel<S>3478</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> in Heshbon<S>2809</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>, and in Aroer<S>6177</S> and its towns<S>1323</S>, and in all the cities<S>5892</S> that are along by the side<S>3027</S> of the Arnon<S>769</S>, three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> years<S>8141</S>; wherefore did ye not recover<S>5337</S> them within that time<S>6256</S>?


text:
I therefore have not sinned<S>2398</S> against thee<S>6213</S>, but thou doest me wrong<S>7451</S> to war<S>3898</S> against me<S>3068</S>: Jehovah, the Judge<S>8199</S>, be judge<S>8199</S> this day<S>3117</S> between the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
Howbeit the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> not unto the words<S>1697</S> of Jephthah<S>3316</S> which he sent him<S>7971</S>.


text:
Then the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came upon Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and he passed over<S>5674</S> Gilead<S>1568</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, and from Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> he passed over<S>5674</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
Then Jephthah<S>3316</S> fled<S>1272</S> from<S>6440</S> his brethren<S>251</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Tob<S>2897</S>: and there were gathered<S>3950</S> vain<S>7386</S> fellows<S>582</S> to Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and they went out with him<S>3318</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, If thou wilt indeed<S>5414</S> deliver<S>5414</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> into my hand<S>3027</S>,


text:
then it shall be<S>3318</S>, that whatsoever cometh forth<S>3318</S> from the doors<S>1817</S> of my house<S>1004</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me<S>7725</S>, when I return in peace<S>7965</S> from the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, it shall be Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s, and I will offer it up<S>5927</S> for a burnt-offering<S>5930</S>.


text:
So Jephthah<S>3316</S> passed over<S>5674</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against them<S>3068</S>; and Jehovah delivered<S>5414</S> them into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he smote<S>5221</S> them from Aroer<S>6177</S> until thou come<S>935</S> to Minnith<S>4511</S>, even twenty<S>6242</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and unto<S>58</S> Abel-cheramim<S>3754</S>, with a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>. So the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> were subdued<S>3665</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> came<S>935</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>; and<S>1323</S>, behold, his daughter came out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him with timbrels<S>8596</S> and with dances<S>4246</S>: and she was his only child<S>3173</S>; besides her he had neither son<S>1121</S> nor<S>176</S> daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7200</S>, when he saw her<S>7167</S>, that he rent his clothes<S>899</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>! thou hast brought<S>3766</S> me very<S>3766</S> low<S>3766</S>, and thou art one of them that trouble<S>5916</S> me<S>6475</S>; for I have opened my mouth<S>6310</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and I cannot<S>3201</S> go back<S>7725</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1</S>, My father, thou hast opened<S>6475</S> thy mouth<S>6310</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>; do<S>6213</S> unto me according to that which<S>834</S> hath proceeded<S>3318</S> out of thy mouth<S>6310</S>, forasmuch<S>310</S> as Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath taken<S>6213</S> vengeance<S>5360</S> for thee on thine enemies<S>341</S>, even on the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto her father<S>1</S>, Let this thing<S>1697</S> be done<S>6213</S> for me<S>7503</S>: let me alone two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S>, that I may depart<S>3212</S> and go down<S>3381</S> upon the mountains<S>2022</S>, and bewail<S>1058</S> my virginity<S>1331</S>, I and my companions<S>7464</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>. And he sent her away<S>7971</S> for two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S>: and she departed<S>3212</S>, she and her companions<S>7464</S>, and bewailed<S>1058</S> her virginity<S>1331</S> upon the mountains<S>2022</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7093</S> of two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S>, that she returned<S>7725</S> unto her father<S>1</S>, who did<S>6213</S> with her according to his vow<S>5088</S> which he had vowed<S>5087</S>: and she knew<S>3045</S> not man<S>376</S>. And it was a custom<S>2706</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
And it came to pass after a while<S>3117</S>, that the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> made war<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
that the daughters<S>1323</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> yearly<S>3117</S> to celebrate<S>8567</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Jephthah<S>3316</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S> four<S>702</S> days<S>3117</S> in a year<S>8141</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>1121</S>, that, when the children of Ammon<S>5983</S> made war<S>3898</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> went<S>3212</S> to fetch<S>3947</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Tob<S>2897</S>;


text:
and they said<S>559</S> unto Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Come<S>3212</S> and be our chief<S>7101</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> said<S>559</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, Did not ye hate<S>8130</S> me<S>1644</S>, and drive me out of my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>? and why are ye come<S>935</S> unto me now when ye are in distress<S>6887</S>?


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Therefore are we turned again<S>7725</S> to thee now<S>1980</S>, that thou mayest go with us<S>3898</S>, and fight with the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>; and thou shalt be our head<S>7218</S> over all the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> said<S>559</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, If ye bring me home again<S>7725</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> deliver<S>5414</S> them before<S>6440</S> me<S>7218</S>, shall I be your head?


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S>, and passed<S>5674</S> northward<S>6828</S>; and they said<S>559</S> unto Jephthah<S>3316</S>, Wherefore passedst thou over<S>5674</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and didst not call<S>7121</S> us to go<S>3212</S> with thee<S>8313</S>? we will burn thy house<S>1004</S> upon thee with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him Elon<S>356</S> the Zebulunite<S>2075</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Elon<S>356</S> the Zebulunite<S>2075</S> died<S>4191</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Aijalon<S>357</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Zebulun<S>2074</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him Abdon<S>5658</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hillel<S>1985</S> the Pirathonite<S>6553</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he had forty<S>705</S> sons<S>1121</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> sons<S>1121</S>' sons, that rode<S>7392</S> on threescore and ten<S>7657</S> ass colts<S>5895</S>: and he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Abdon<S>5658</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hillel<S>1985</S> the Pirathonite<S>6553</S> died<S>4191</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Pirathon<S>6552</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of the Amalekites<S>6003</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5971</S>, I and my people were<S>1961</S> at great<S>3966</S> strife<S>376</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>; and when I called<S>2199</S> you<S>3467</S>, ye saved me not out of their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And when I saw<S>7200</S> that ye saved<S>3467</S> me not<S>7760</S>, I put my life<S>5315</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into my hand<S>3027</S>: wherefore then are ye come up<S>5927</S> unto me this day<S>3117</S>, to fight against me<S>3898</S>?


text:
Then Jephthah<S>3316</S> gathered together<S>6908</S> all the men<S>582</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Ephraim<S>669</S>; and the men<S>582</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> smote<S>5221</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, because they said<S>559</S>, Ye are fugitives<S>6412</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, ye Gileadites<S>1568</S>, in the midst<S>8432</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and in the midst<S>8432</S> of Manasseh<S>4519</S>.


text:
And the Gileadites<S>1568</S> took<S>3920</S> the fords<S>4569</S> of the Jordan<S>3383</S> against the Ephraimites<S>669</S>. And it was so<S>6412</S>, that, when any of the fugitives of Ephraim<S>669</S> said<S>559</S>, Let me go over<S>5674</S>, the men<S>582</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>673</S>, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said<S>559</S>, Nay;


text:
then said<S>559</S> they unto him<S>559</S>, Say now Shibboleth<S>7641</S>; and he said<S>559</S> Sibboleth<S>5451</S>; for he could not frame<S>3559</S> to pronounce<S>1696</S> it right<S>3559</S>: then they laid<S>270</S> hold on him<S>7819</S>, and slew him at the fords<S>4569</S> of the Jordan<S>3383</S>. And there fell<S>5307</S> at that time<S>6256</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> forty<S>705</S> and two<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And Jephthah<S>3316</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S>. Then died<S>4191</S> Jephthah<S>3316</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in one of the cities<S>5892</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him Ibzan<S>78</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S> judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he had thirty<S>7970</S> sons<S>1121</S>; and thirty<S>7970</S> daughters<S>1323</S> he sent<S>7971</S> abroad<S>2351</S>, and thirty<S>7970</S> daughters<S>1323</S> he brought<S>935</S> in from abroad<S>2351</S> for his sons<S>1121</S>. And he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> again<S>3254</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> made haste<S>4116</S>, and ran<S>7323</S>, and told<S>5046</S> her husband<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Behold, the man hath appeared<S>7200</S> unto me<S>935</S>, that came unto me the other day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the man<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Art thou the man that spakest<S>1696</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, I am.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S>, Now let thy words<S>1697</S> come to pass<S>935</S>: what shall be the ordering<S>4941</S> of the child<S>5288</S>, and how shall we do unto him<S>4639</S>?


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Manoah<S>4495</S>, Of all that I said<S>559</S> unto the woman<S>802</S> let her beware<S>8104</S>.


text:
She may not eat<S>398</S> of anything that cometh<S>3318</S> of the vine<S>1612</S>, neither let her drink<S>8354</S> wine<S>3196</S> or strong drink<S>8354</S>, nor eat<S>398</S> any unclean<S>2932</S> thing<S>6680</S>; all that I commanded her let her observe<S>8104</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S> unto the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, I pray thee<S>6113</S>, let us detain thee<S>6213</S>, that we may make ready a kid<S>1423</S> for thee<S>6440</S>.

And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Manoah<S>4495</S>, Though thou detain<S>6113</S> me<S>398</S>, I will not eat of thy bread<S>3899</S>; and if<S>518</S> thou wilt make ready<S>6213</S> a burnt-offering<S>5930</S>, thou must offer<S>6213</S> it unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>. For Manoah<S>4495</S> knew<S>3045</S> not that he was the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S> unto the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, What is thy name<S>8034</S>, that<S>1697</S>, when thy words come to pass<S>935</S>, we may do thee honor<S>3513</S>?


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7592</S>, Wherefore askest thou after my name<S>8034</S>, seeing it is wonderful<S>6383</S>?


text:
So Manoah<S>4495</S> took<S>3947</S> the kid<S>1423</S> with the meal-offering<S>4503</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> it upon the rock<S>6697</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>: and the angel did<S>6213</S> wondrously<S>6381</S>, and Manoah<S>4495</S> and his wife<S>802</S> looked on<S>7200</S>.


text:
And there was a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of Zorah<S>6881</S>, of the family<S>4940</S> of the Danites<S>1839</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Manoah<S>4495</S>; and his wife<S>802</S> was barren<S>6135</S>, and bare not<S>3205</S>.


text:
For it came to pass<S>3851</S>, when the flame went up<S>5927</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S> from off the altar<S>4196</S>, that the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> ascended<S>5927</S> in the flame<S>3851</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>: and Manoah<S>4495</S> and his wife<S>802</S> looked on<S>7200</S>; and they fell on<S>7200</S> their faces<S>6440</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
But the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> did no more<S>3254</S> appear<S>7200</S> to Manoah<S>4495</S> or to his wife<S>802</S>. Then Manoah<S>4495</S> knew<S>3045</S> that he was the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Manoah<S>4495</S> said<S>559</S> unto his wife<S>802</S>, We shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, because we have seen<S>7200</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
But his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3863</S>, If Jehovah<S>3068</S> were pleased<S>2654</S> to kill<S>4191</S> us<S>3947</S>, he would not have received a burnt-offering<S>5930</S> and a meal-offering<S>5930</S> at our hand<S>3027</S>, neither would he have showed<S>7200</S> us all these things<S>6256</S>, nor would at this time have told<S>8085</S> such things as these<S>2063</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> bare<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Samson<S>8123</S>: and the child<S>5288</S> grew<S>1431</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> blessed him<S>1288</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> to move<S>6470</S> him in<S>4264</S> Mahaneh-dan<S>1835</S>, between Zorah<S>6881</S> and Eshtaol<S>847</S>.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6135</S>, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest<S>3205</S> not<S>2029</S>; but thou shalt conceive, and bear<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>.


text:
Now therefore beware<S>8104</S>, I pray thee<S>8354</S>, and drink no wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>7941</S>, and eat<S>398</S> not any unclean thing<S>2931</S>:


text:
for<S>2030</S>, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>; and no razor<S>4177</S> shall come<S>5927</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>; for the child<S>5288</S> shall be a Nazirite<S>5139</S> unto God<S>430</S> from the womb<S>990</S>: and he shall begin<S>2490</S> to save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>559</S> her husband<S>376</S>, saying<S>559</S>, A man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> unto me<S>4758</S>, and his countenance was like the countenance<S>4758</S> of the angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S>, very<S>3966</S> terrible<S>3372</S>; and I asked<S>7592</S> him not whence he was<S>5046</S>, neither told he me his name<S>8034</S>:


text:
but he said<S>559</S> unto me<S>2030</S>, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>; and now drink<S>7941</S> no wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>8354</S>, and eat<S>398</S> not any unclean<S>2932</S> thing<S>5288</S>; for the child shall be a Nazirite<S>5139</S> unto God<S>430</S> from the womb<S>990</S> to the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>.


text:
Then Manoah<S>4495</S> entreated<S>6279</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Oh<S>994</S>, Lord<S>3068</S>, I pray thee<S>4994</S>, let the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> whom thou didst send<S>7971</S> come again<S>935</S> unto us<S>3384</S>, and teach us what we shall do<S>6213</S> unto the child<S>5288</S> that shall be born<S>3205</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of Manoah<S>4495</S>; and the angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S> came again<S>935</S> unto the woman<S>802</S> as she sat<S>3427</S> in the field<S>7704</S>: but Manoah<S>4495</S> her husband was not with her<S>376</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> went down<S>3381</S> to Timnah<S>8553</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> in Timnah<S>8553</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And his father<S>1</S> went down<S>3381</S> unto the woman<S>802</S>: and Samson<S>8123</S> made<S>6213</S> there a feast<S>4960</S>; for so used the young men<S>970</S> to do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7200</S>, when they saw him<S>3947</S>, that they brought thirty<S>7970</S> companions to be with him<S>4828</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2330</S>, Let me now put forth a riddle<S>2420</S> unto you<S>5046</S>: if ye can declare<S>5046</S> it unto me within the seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> of the feast<S>4960</S>, and find it out<S>4672</S>, then I will give<S>5414</S> you thirty<S>7970</S> linen garments<S>5466</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> changes<S>2487</S> of raiment<S>899</S>;


text:
but if ye cannot<S>3201</S> declare<S>5046</S> it unto me<S>5414</S>, then shall ye give me thirty<S>7970</S> linen garments<S>5466</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> changes<S>2487</S> of raiment<S>899</S>. And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2330</S>, Put forth thy riddle<S>2420</S>, that we may hear it<S>8085</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>398</S>, Out of the eater came forth<S>3318</S> food<S>3978</S>, And out of the strong<S>5794</S> came forth<S>3318</S> sweetness<S>4966</S>. And they could<S>3201</S> not in three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S> declare<S>5046</S> the riddle<S>2420</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that they said<S>559</S> unto Samson<S>8123</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, Entice<S>6601</S> thy husband<S>376</S>, that he may declare<S>5046</S> unto us the riddle<S>2420</S>, lest we burn<S>8313</S> thee and thy father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> with fire<S>784</S>: have ye called<S>7121</S> us to impoverish us<S>3423</S>? is it not so?


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S>'s wife<S>802</S> wept<S>1058</S> before him<S>559</S>, and said, Thou dost but hate<S>8130</S> me<S>157</S>, and lovest me not<S>2330</S>: thou hast put forth a riddle<S>2420</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of my people<S>5971</S>, and hast not told<S>5046</S> it me<S>559</S>. And he said unto her<S>5046</S>, Behold, I have not told it my father<S>1</S> nor my mother<S>517</S>, and shall I tell thee<S>5046</S>?


text:
And she wept<S>1058</S> before him the seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, while their feast<S>4960</S> lasted<S>1961</S>: and it came to pass on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, that he told<S>5046</S> her<S>6693</S>, because she pressed him sore; and she told<S>5046</S> the riddle<S>2420</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of her people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> unto him on the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S> before the sun<S>2775</S> went down<S>935</S>, What is sweeter<S>4966</S> than honey<S>1706</S>? and what is stronger<S>5794</S> than a lion<S>738</S>? And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3884</S>, If ye had not plowed<S>2790</S> with my heifer<S>5697</S>, Ye had not found out<S>4672</S> my riddle<S>2420</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily upon him<S>3381</S>, and he went down to Ashkelon<S>831</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> thirty<S>7970</S> men<S>376</S> of them<S>3947</S>, and took their spoil<S>2488</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> the changes<S>2487</S> of raiment unto them that declared<S>5046</S> the riddle<S>2420</S>. And his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S>, and he went up<S>5927</S> to his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And he came up<S>5927</S>, and told<S>5046</S> his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I have seen<S>7200</S> a woman<S>802</S> in Timnah<S>8553</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: now therefore get<S>3947</S> her for me to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
But Samson<S>8123</S>'s wife<S>802</S> was given to his companion<S>4828</S>, whom he had used as his friend<S>7462</S>.


text:
Then his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>369</S>, Is there never a woman<S>802</S> among the daughters<S>1323</S> of thy brethren<S>251</S>, or among all my people<S>5971</S>, that thou goest<S>1980</S> to take<S>3947</S> a wife<S>802</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistines<S>6430</S>? And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto his father<S>1</S>, Get<S>3947</S> her for me<S>3474</S>; for she pleaseth me well.


text:
But his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S> knew<S>3045</S> not that it was of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; for he sought<S>1245</S> an occasion<S>8385</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S>. Now at that time<S>6256</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> had rule<S>4910</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then went<S>3381</S> Samson<S>8123</S> down<S>3381</S>, and his father<S>1</S> and his mother<S>517</S>, to Timnah<S>8553</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the vineyards<S>3754</S> of Timnah<S>8553</S>: and<S>3715</S>, behold, a young lion<S>738</S> roared<S>7580</S> against him<S>7125</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came mightily<S>6743</S> upon him<S>8156</S>, and he rent him as he would have rent<S>8156</S> a kid<S>1423</S>; and he had nothing<S>3972</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>: but he told<S>5046</S> not his father<S>1</S> or his mother<S>517</S> what he had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he went down<S>3381</S>, and talked<S>1696</S> with the woman<S>802</S>, and she pleased<S>3474</S> Samson<S>8123</S> well<S>3474</S>.


text:
And after a while<S>3117</S> he returned<S>7725</S> to take<S>3947</S> her<S>5493</S>; and he turned aside to see<S>7200</S> the carcass<S>4658</S> of the lion<S>738</S>: and<S>5712</S>, behold, there was a swarm of bees<S>1682</S> in the body<S>1472</S> of the lion<S>738</S>, and honey<S>1706</S>.


text:
And he took<S>7287</S> it into his hands<S>3709</S>, and went on<S>3212</S>, eating<S>398</S> as he went<S>1980</S>; and he came to his father<S>1</S> and mother<S>517</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> unto them<S>398</S>, and they did eat: but he told<S>5046</S> them not that he had taken<S>7287</S> the honey<S>1706</S> out of the body<S>1472</S> of the lion<S>738</S>.


text:
But it came to pass after<S>3117</S> a while<S>3117</S>, in the time of wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S>, that Samson<S>8123</S> visited<S>6485</S> his wife<S>802</S> with a kid<S>1423</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, I will go in<S>935</S> to my wife<S>802</S> into the chamber<S>2315</S>. But her father<S>1</S> would not suffer<S>5414</S> him to go in<S>935</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> said<S>559</S>, Why are ye come up<S>5927</S> against us<S>559</S>? And they said, To bind<S>631</S> Samson<S>8123</S> are we come up<S>5927</S>, to do<S>6213</S> to him as he hath done to us<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went<S>3381</S> down to the cleft<S>5585</S> of the rock<S>5553</S> of Etam<S>5862</S>, and said<S>559</S> to Samson<S>8123</S>, Knowest<S>3045</S> thou not that the Philistines<S>6430</S> are rulers<S>4910</S> over us<S>6213</S>? what then is this that thou hast done unto us<S>559</S>? And he said unto them<S>6213</S>, As they did unto me<S>6213</S>, so have I done unto them.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3381</S>, We are come down to bind<S>631</S> thee<S>5414</S>, that we may deliver thee into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7650</S>, Swear unto me<S>6293</S>, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.


text:
And they spake<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, No<S>631</S>; but we will bind thee fast<S>631</S>, and deliver<S>5414</S> thee into their hand<S>3027</S>: but surely<S>4191</S> we will not kill<S>4191</S> thee<S>631</S>. And they bound him with two<S>8147</S> new<S>2319</S> ropes<S>5688</S>, and brought him up<S>5927</S> from the rock<S>5553</S>.


text:
When he came<S>935</S> unto Lehi<S>3896</S>, the Philistines<S>6430</S> shouted<S>7321</S> as<S>7125</S> they met him<S>7307</S>: and the Spirit of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came mightily<S>6743</S> upon him<S>5688</S>, and the ropes that were upon his arms<S>2220</S> became as flax<S>6593</S> that was burnt<S>1197</S> with fire<S>784</S>, and his bands<S>612</S> dropped<S>4549</S> from off his hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he found<S>4672</S> a fresh<S>2961</S> jawbone<S>3895</S> of an ass<S>2543</S>, and put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>3947</S> it<S>5221</S>, and smote a thousand<S>505</S> men therewith<S>376</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S>, With the jawbone<S>3895</S> of an ass<S>2543</S>, heaps<S>2565</S> upon heaps<S>2565</S>, With the jawbone<S>3895</S> of an ass<S>2543</S> have I smitten<S>5221</S> a thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, when he had made an end of speaking<S>1696</S>, that he cast away<S>7993</S> the jawbone<S>3895</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>; and that place<S>4725</S> was called<S>7121</S> Ramath-lehi<S>7437</S>.


text:
And he was sore<S>3966</S> athirst<S>6770</S>, and called<S>7121</S> on Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thou hast given<S>5414</S> this great<S>1419</S> deliverance<S>8668</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S>; and now shall I die<S>4191</S> for thirst<S>6772</S>, and fall<S>5307</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the uncircumcised<S>6189</S>.


text:
But God<S>430</S> clave<S>1234</S> the hollow place<S>4388</S> that is in Lehi<S>3895</S>, and there came<S>3318</S> water<S>4325</S> thereout<S>8354</S>; and when he had drunk, his spirit<S>7307</S> came again<S>7725</S>, and he revived<S>2421</S>: wherefore the name<S>8034</S> thereof was called<S>7121</S> En-hakkore<S>5875</S>, which is in Lehi<S>3896</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And her father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S>, I verily<S>559</S> thought<S>559</S> that thou hadst utterly<S>8130</S> hated<S>8130</S> her<S>5414</S>; therefore I gave her to thy companion<S>4828</S>: is not her younger<S>6996</S> sister<S>269</S> fairer than she<S>2896</S>? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.


text:
And he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6471</S>, This time shall I be blameless<S>5352</S> in regard of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, when I do<S>6213</S> them a mischief<S>7451</S>.

And Samson<S>8123</S> went<S>3212</S> and caught<S>3920</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> foxes<S>7776</S>, and took<S>3947</S> firebrands<S>3940</S>, and turned<S>6437</S> tail<S>2180</S> to tail<S>2180</S>, and put<S>7760</S> a<S>259</S> firebrand<S>3940</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> between every two<S>8147</S> tails<S>2180</S>.


text:
And when he had set<S>1197</S> the brands<S>3940</S> on fire<S>784</S>, he let them go<S>7971</S> into the standing grain<S>7054</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and burnt up<S>1197</S> both the shocks<S>1430</S> and the standing grain<S>7054</S>, and also the oliveyards<S>2132</S>.


text:
Then the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Who hath done<S>6213</S> this<S>559</S>? And they said, Samson<S>8123</S>, the son-in<S>2860</S>-law of the Timnite<S>8554</S>, because he hath taken<S>3947</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and given<S>5414</S> her to his companion<S>4828</S>. And the Philistines<S>6430</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> her and her father<S>1</S> with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>518</S>, If ye do<S>6213</S> after this<S>2063</S> manner<S>5358</S>, surely I will be avenged of you<S>310</S>, and after that I will cease<S>2308</S>.


text:
And he smote<S>5221</S> them hip<S>7785</S> and<S>5921</S> thigh<S>3409</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>: and he went down<S>3381</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> in the cleft<S>5585</S> of the rock<S>5553</S> of Etam<S>5862</S>.


text:
Then the Philistines<S>6430</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>, and spread<S>5203</S> themselves in Lehi<S>3896</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> went<S>3212</S> to Gaza<S>5804</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> there a harlot<S>802</S>, and went in unto her<S>935</S>.


text:
And Delilah<S>1807</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samson<S>8123</S>, Behold<S>2048</S>, thou hast mocked me<S>1696</S>, and told me lies<S>3577</S>: now tell<S>5046</S> me<S>631</S>, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>631</S>, If they only bind me<S>631</S> with new<S>2319</S> ropes<S>5688</S> wherewith no work hath been done<S>4399</S>, then shall I become weak<S>2470</S>, and be as another<S>259</S> man<S>120</S>.


text:
So Delilah<S>1807</S> took<S>3947</S> new<S>2319</S> ropes<S>5688</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him therewith<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>6430</S>, The Philistines are upon thee<S>8123</S>, Samson. And the liers-in<S>693</S>-wait were abiding<S>3427</S> in the inner chamber<S>2315</S>. And he brake<S>5423</S> them off his arms<S>2220</S> like a thread<S>2339</S>.


text:
And Delilah<S>1807</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samson<S>8123</S>, Hitherto<S>2008</S> thou hast mocked<S>2048</S> me<S>1696</S>, and told me lies<S>3577</S>: tell<S>5046</S> me wherewith thou mightest be bound<S>631</S>. And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>707</S>, If thou weavest the seven<S>7651</S> locks<S>4253</S> of my head<S>7218</S> with the web<S>4545</S>.


text:
And she fastened<S>8628</S> it with the pin<S>3489</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6430</S>, The Philistines are upon thee<S>8123</S>, Samson. And he awaked<S>3364</S> out of his sleep<S>8142</S>, and plucked away<S>5265</S> the pin<S>3489</S> of the beam<S>708</S>, and the web<S>4545</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>349</S>, How canst thou say<S>559</S>, I love<S>157</S> thee<S>3820</S>, when thy heart is not with me<S>2048</S>? thou hast mocked me these three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>, and hast not told<S>5046</S> me wherein thy great<S>1419</S> strength lieth<S>3581</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>6693</S>, when she pressed him daily<S>3117</S> with her words<S>1697</S>, and urged<S>509</S> him<S>5315</S>, that his soul was vexed<S>7114</S> unto death<S>4191</S>.


text:
And he told<S>5046</S> her all his heart<S>3820</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto her<S>5927</S>, There hath not come a razor<S>4177</S> upon my head<S>7218</S>; for I have been a Nazirite<S>5139</S> unto God<S>430</S> from my mother<S>517</S>'s womb<S>990</S>: if I be shaven<S>1548</S>, then my strength<S>3581</S> will go<S>5493</S> from me<S>2470</S>, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man<S>120</S>.


text:
And when Delilah<S>1807</S> saw<S>7200</S> that he had told<S>5046</S> her all his heart<S>3820</S>, she sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> this once<S>6471</S>, for he hath told<S>5046</S> me all his heart<S>3820</S>. Then the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> came up<S>5927</S> unto her<S>5927</S>, and brought the money<S>3701</S> in their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And she made him sleep<S>3462</S> upon her knees<S>1290</S>; and she called<S>7121</S> for a man<S>376</S>, and shaved off<S>1548</S> the seven<S>7651</S> locks<S>4253</S> of his head<S>7218</S>; and she began<S>2490</S> to afflict<S>6031</S> him<S>3581</S>, and his strength went from him<S>5493</S>.


text:
And it was told the Gazites<S>5841</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Samson<S>8123</S> is come<S>935</S> hither<S>5437</S>. And they compassed him in, and laid wait<S>693</S> for him all night<S>3915</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and were quiet<S>2790</S> all the night<S>3915</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let be till morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, then we will kill him<S>2026</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, The Philistines<S>6430</S> are upon thee<S>8123</S>, Samson. And he awoke<S>3364</S> out of his sleep<S>8142</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will go out<S>3318</S> as at other times<S>6471</S>, and shake<S>5287</S> myself free<S>3045</S>. But he knew not that Jehovah<S>3068</S> was departed from him<S>5493</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> laid<S>270</S> hold on him<S>5365</S>, and put out his eyes<S>5869</S>; and they brought him down<S>3381</S> to Gaza<S>5804</S>, and bound<S>631</S> him with fetters of brass<S>5178</S>; and he did grind<S>2912</S> in the<S>631</S> prison-house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Howbeit the hair<S>8181</S> of his head<S>7218</S> began<S>2490</S> to grow again<S>6779</S> after<S>834</S> he was shaven<S>1548</S>.


text:
And the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered them together<S>622</S> to offer<S>2076</S> a great<S>1419</S> sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto Dagon<S>1712</S> their god<S>430</S>, and to rejoice<S>8057</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, Our god<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> Samson<S>8123</S> our enemy<S>341</S> into our hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> saw<S>7200</S> him<S>1984</S>, they praised their god<S>430</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, Our god<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> into our hand<S>3027</S> our enemy<S>341</S>, and the destroyer<S>2717</S> of our country<S>776</S>, who hath slain<S>2491</S> many of us<S>7235</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3820</S>, when their hearts were merry<S>2896</S>, that they said<S>559</S>, Call<S>7121</S> for Samson<S>8123</S>, that he may make us sport<S>7832</S>. And they called<S>7121</S> for Samson<S>8123</S> out of the<S>631</S> prison-house<S>1004</S>; and he made sport<S>6711</S> before them<S>6440</S>. And they set<S>5975</S> him between the pillars<S>5982</S>:


text:
and Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto the lad<S>5288</S> that held<S>2388</S> him by the hand<S>3027</S>, Suffer<S>3240</S> me that I may feel<S>4184</S> the pillars<S>5982</S> whereupon the house<S>1004</S> resteth<S>3559</S>, that I may lean upon them<S>8172</S>.


text:
Now the house<S>1004</S> was full<S>4390</S> of men<S>582</S> and women<S>802</S>; and all the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> were there<S>1406</S>; and there were upon the roof about three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, that beheld<S>7200</S> while Samson<S>8123</S> made sport<S>7832</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> called<S>7121</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, remember<S>2142</S> me<S>2388</S>, I pray thee, and strengthen me<S>6471</S>, I pray thee, only this once, O God<S>430</S>, that I may be at once<S>259</S> avenged<S>5358</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> for my two<S>8147</S> eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> took hold<S>3943</S> of the two<S>8147</S> middle<S>8432</S> pillars<S>5982</S> upon which the house<S>1004</S> rested<S>3559</S>, <S>5564</S> and leaned upon them<S>259</S>, the one with his right hand<S>3225</S>, and the other<S>259</S> with his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> lay<S>7901</S> till midnight<S>2677</S>, and arose<S>6965</S> at midnight<S>2677</S>, and laid hold<S>270</S> of the doors<S>1817</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> posts<S>4201</S>, and plucked them up<S>1280</S>, bar and all<S>7760</S>, and put them upon his shoulders<S>3802</S>, and carried<S>5265</S> them up<S>5927</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S> that is before<S>6440</S> Hebron<S>2275</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S>, Let me die<S>4191</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And he bowed<S>5186</S> himself with all his might<S>3581</S>; and the house<S>1004</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon the lords<S>5633</S>, and upon all the people<S>5971</S> that were therein<S>4191</S>. So the dead that he slew<S>4191</S> at his death<S>4194</S> were more<S>7227</S> than they that he slew<S>4191</S> in his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
Then his brethren<S>251</S> and all the house<S>1004</S> of his father<S>1</S> came down<S>3381</S>, and took<S>5375</S> him<S>5927</S>, and brought him up, and buried<S>6912</S> him between Zorah<S>6881</S> and Eshtaol<S>847</S> in the burying-place<S>6913</S> of Manoah<S>4495</S> his father<S>1</S>. And he judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And it came to pass afterward<S>310</S>, that he loved<S>157</S> a woman<S>802</S> in the valley<S>5158</S> of Sorek<S>7796</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Delilah<S>1807</S>.


text:
And the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> came up<S>5927</S> unto her<S>559</S>, and said unto her<S>6601</S>, Entice him<S>7200</S>, and see wherein his great<S>1419</S> strength<S>3581</S> lieth<S>3201</S>, and by what means we may prevail against him<S>631</S>, that we may bind him to afflict<S>6031</S> him<S>5414</S>: and we will give thee every one<S>376</S> of us eleven hundred<S>505</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
And Delilah<S>1807</S> said<S>559</S> to Samson<S>8123</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me<S>1419</S>, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength<S>3581</S> lieth<S>631</S>, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee<S>6031</S>.


text:
And Samson<S>8123</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>631</S>, If they bind me with seven<S>7651</S> green<S>3892</S> withes<S>3499</S> that were never dried<S>2717</S>, then shall I become weak<S>2470</S>, and be as another<S>259</S> man<S>120</S>.


text:
Then the lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> brought up<S>5927</S> to her seven<S>7651</S> green<S>3892</S> withes<S>3499</S> which had not been dried<S>2717</S>, and she bound him with them<S>631</S>.


text:
Now she had liers-in<S>693</S>-wait abiding<S>3427</S> in the inner chamber<S>2315</S>. And she said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6430</S>, The Philistines are upon thee<S>8123</S>, Samson. And he brake<S>5423</S> the withes<S>3499</S>, as a string<S>6616</S> of tow<S>5296</S> is broken<S>5423</S> when it toucheth<S>7306</S> the fire<S>784</S>. So his strength<S>3581</S> was not known<S>3045</S>.


text:
And there was a man<S>376</S> of the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Micah<S>4321</S>.


text:
And Micah<S>4318</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3427</S>, Dwell with me<S>1</S>, and be unto me a father and a priest<S>3548</S>, and I will give<S>5414</S> thee ten<S>6235</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S> by the year<S>3117</S>, and a suit<S>6187</S> of apparel<S>899</S>, and thy victuals<S>4241</S>. So the Levite<S>3881</S> went in<S>3212</S>.


text:
And the Levite<S>3881</S> was content<S>2974</S> to dwell<S>3427</S> with the man<S>376</S>; and the young man<S>5288</S> was unto him as one<S>259</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And Micah<S>4318</S> consecrated<S>4390</S> the Levite<S>3881</S>, and the young man<S>5288</S> became his priest<S>3548</S>, and was in the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Micah<S>4318</S>, Now know<S>3045</S> I that Jehovah<S>3068</S> will do me good<S>3190</S>, seeing I have a Levite<S>3881</S> to my priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his mother<S>517</S>, The eleven hundred<S>505</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S> that were taken<S>3947</S> from thee<S>422</S>, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak<S>559</S> it in mine ears<S>241</S>, behold<S>3701</S>, the silver is with me<S>3947</S>; I took it<S>517</S>. And his mother said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be my son<S>1121</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he restored<S>7725</S> the eleven hundred<S>505</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S> to his mother<S>517</S>; and his mother<S>517</S> said<S>559</S>, I verily<S>6942</S> dedicate<S>6942</S> the silver<S>3701</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> from my hand<S>3027</S> for my son<S>1121</S>, to make<S>6213</S> a graven image<S>6459</S> and a molten image<S>6459</S>: now therefore I will restore it unto thee<S>7725</S>.


text:
And when he restored<S>7725</S> the money<S>3701</S> unto his mother<S>517</S>, his mother<S>517</S> took<S>3947</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> them to the founder<S>6884</S>, who made<S>6213</S> thereof a graven image<S>6459</S> and a molten image<S>4541</S>: and it was in the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4321</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> Micah<S>4318</S> had a house<S>1004</S> of gods<S>430</S>, and he made<S>6213</S> an ephod<S>646</S>, and teraphim<S>8655</S>, and consecrated<S>4390</S> one<S>259</S> of his sons<S>1121</S>, who became his priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> there was no king<S>4428</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: every man<S>376</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in his own eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
And there was a young man<S>5288</S> out of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah, of the family<S>4940</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, who was a Levite<S>3881</S>; and he sojourned there<S>1481</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> departed<S>3212</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>, out of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah, to sojourn<S>1481</S> where he could find<S>4672</S> a place<S>935</S>, and he came to the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, as he journeyed<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Micah<S>4318</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>370</S>, Whence comest<S>935</S> thou<S>559</S>? And he said unto him<S>3881</S>, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah, and I go<S>1980</S> to sojourn<S>1481</S> where I may find a place<S>4672</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> there was no king<S>4428</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>: and in those days<S>3117</S> the tribe<S>7626</S> of the Danites<S>1839</S> sought<S>1245</S> them an inheritance<S>5159</S> to dwell in<S>3427</S>; for unto that day<S>3117</S> their inheritance<S>5159</S> had not fallen<S>5307</S> unto them among<S>8432</S> the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

When ye go<S>935</S>, ye shall come<S>935</S> unto a people<S>5971</S> secure<S>982</S>, and the land<S>776</S> is large<S>7342</S>; for God<S>430</S> hath given<S>5414</S> it into your hand<S>3027</S>, a place<S>4725</S> where there is no want<S>4270</S> of anything<S>1697</S> that is in the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And there set<S>5265</S> forth from thence of the family<S>4940</S> of the Danites<S>1839</S>, out of Zorah<S>6881</S> and out of Eshtaol<S>847</S>, six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> girt<S>2296</S> with weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>.


text:
And they went up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Kiriath-jearim<S>7157</S>, in Judah<S>3063</S>: wherefore they called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Mahaneh-dan<S>4265</S>, unto this day<S>3117</S>; behold<S>310</S>, it is behind Kiriath-jearim<S>7157</S>.


text:
And they passed<S>5674</S> thence unto the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and came<S>935</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> the five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> that went<S>1980</S> to spy out<S>7270</S> the country<S>776</S> of Laish<S>3919</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto their brethren<S>251</S>, Do ye know<S>3045</S> that there is<S>3426</S> in these houses<S>1004</S> an ephod<S>646</S>, and teraphim<S>8655</S>, and a graven image<S>6459</S>, and a molten image<S>4541</S>? now therefore consider<S>3045</S> what ye have to do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And they turned<S>5493</S> aside thither<S>935</S>, and came to the house<S>1004</S> of the young man<S>5288</S> the Levite<S>3881</S>, even unto the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, and asked him of his welfare<S>7592</S>.


text:
And the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> girt<S>2296</S> with their weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>, who were of the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S>, stood<S>5324</S> by the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
And the five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> that went<S>1980</S> to spy out<S>7270</S> the land<S>776</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and came in<S>935</S> thither<S>3947</S>, and took the graven image<S>6459</S>, and the ephod<S>646</S>, and the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and the molten image<S>4541</S>: and the priest<S>3548</S> stood<S>5324</S> by the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> with the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> girt<S>2296</S> with weapons<S>3627</S> of war<S>4421</S>.


text:
And when these went<S>935</S> into Micah<S>4318</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> the graven image<S>6459</S>, the ephod<S>646</S>, and the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and the molten image<S>4541</S>, the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6213</S>, What do ye?


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2790</S>, Hold thy peace, lay<S>7760</S> thy hand<S>3027</S> upon thy mouth<S>6310</S>, and go<S>3212</S> with us<S>1961</S>, and be to us a father<S>1</S> and a priest<S>3548</S>: is it better<S>2896</S> for thee to be priest<S>3548</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, or to be priest<S>3548</S> unto a tribe<S>7626</S> and a family<S>4940</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> sent<S>7971</S> of their family<S>4940</S> five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> from their whole number<S>7098</S>, men<S>1121</S> of valor<S>2428</S>, from Zorah<S>6881</S>, and from Eshtaol<S>847</S>, to spy<S>7270</S> out the land<S>776</S>, and to search<S>2713</S> it<S>559</S>; and they said unto them<S>3212</S>, Go, search<S>2713</S> the land<S>776</S>. And they came<S>935</S> to the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, unto the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, and lodged there<S>3885</S>.


text:
And the priest<S>3548</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was glad<S>3190</S>, and he took<S>3947</S> the ephod<S>646</S>, and the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and the graven image<S>6459</S>, and went in<S>935</S> the midst<S>7130</S> of the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
So they turned<S>6437</S> and departed<S>3212</S>, and put<S>7760</S> the little ones<S>2945</S> and the cattle<S>4735</S> and the goods<S>3520</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
When they were a good way<S>7368</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, the men<S>582</S> that were in the houses<S>1004</S> near to Micah<S>4318</S>'s house<S>1004</S> were gathered together<S>2199</S>, and overtook<S>1692</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
And they cried<S>7121</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S>. And they turned<S>5437</S> their faces<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto Micah<S>4318</S>, What aileth thee<S>2199</S>, that thou comest with such a company?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, ye have taken away<S>3947</S> my gods<S>430</S> which I made<S>6213</S>, and the priest<S>3548</S>, and are gone away<S>3212</S>, and what have I more<S>559</S>? and how then say ye unto me, What aileth thee?


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6963</S>, Let not thy voice be heard<S>8085</S> among us<S>4751</S>, lest angry fellows<S>582</S> fall<S>6293</S> upon you<S>622</S>, and thou lose thy life<S>5315</S>, with the lives<S>5315</S> of thy household<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> went<S>3212</S> their way<S>1870</S>: and when Micah<S>4318</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were too strong<S>2389</S> for him<S>6437</S>, he turned and went back<S>7725</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> that which Micah<S>4318</S> had made<S>6213</S>, and the priest<S>3548</S> whom he had<S>935</S>, and came unto Laish<S>3919</S>, unto a people<S>5971</S> quiet<S>8252</S> and secure<S>982</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> them with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; and they burnt<S>8313</S> the city<S>5892</S> with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And there was no deliverer<S>5337</S>, because it was far<S>7350</S> from Sidon<S>6721</S>, and they had no dealings<S>1697</S> with any man<S>120</S>; and it was in the valley<S>6010</S> that lieth by Beth-rehob<S>1050</S>. And they built<S>1129</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and dwelt therein<S>3427</S>.


text:
And they called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the city<S>5892</S> Dan<S>1835</S>, after the name<S>8034</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> their father<S>1</S>, who was born<S>3205</S> unto Israel<S>3478</S>: howbeit<S>199</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the city<S>5892</S> was Laish<S>3919</S> at the first<S>7223</S>.


text:
When they were by the house<S>1004</S> of Micah<S>4318</S>, they knew<S>5234</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of the young man<S>5288</S> the Levite<S>3881</S>; and they turned aside<S>5493</S> thither<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>935</S>, Who brought thee hither<S>1988</S>? and what doest thou in this place<S>6213</S>? and what hast thou here?


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Dan<S>1835</S> set up<S>6965</S> for themselves the graven image<S>6459</S>: and Jonathan<S>3083</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Gershom<S>1647</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Moses<S>4519</S>, he and his sons<S>1121</S> were priests<S>3548</S> to the tribe<S>7626</S> of the Danites<S>1839</S> until the day<S>3117</S> of the captivity<S>1540</S> of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
So they set them up<S>7760</S> Micah<S>4318</S>'s graven image<S>6459</S> which he made<S>6213</S>, all the time<S>3117</S> that the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> was in Shiloh<S>7887</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2090</S>, Thus and thus<S>2090</S> hath Micah<S>4318</S> dealt<S>6213</S> with me<S>7936</S>, and he hath hired me<S>3548</S>, and I am become his priest.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7592</S>, Ask counsel, we pray thee<S>430</S>, of God, that we may know<S>3045</S> whether our way<S>1870</S> which we go<S>1980</S> shall be prosperous<S>6743</S>.


text:
And the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3212</S>, Go in peace<S>7965</S>: before<S>5227</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> is your way<S>1870</S> wherein ye go<S>3212</S>.


text:
Then the five<S>2568</S> men<S>582</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Laish<S>3919</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were therein<S>7130</S>, how they dwelt<S>3427</S> in security<S>983</S>, after the manner<S>4941</S> of the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, quiet<S>8252</S> and secure<S>982</S>; for there was none in the land<S>776</S>, possessing authority<S>3423</S>, that might put them to shame<S>3637</S> in anything<S>1697</S>, and they were far<S>7350</S> from the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and had no dealings<S>1697</S> with any man<S>120</S>.


text:
And they came<S>935</S> unto their brethren<S>251</S> to Zorah<S>6881</S> and Eshtaol<S>847</S>: and their brethren<S>251</S> said unto them<S>559</S>, What say ye?


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, and let us go up<S>5927</S> against them<S>7200</S>; for we have seen the land<S>776</S>, and<S>3966</S>, behold, it is very good<S>2896</S>: and are ye still<S>2814</S>? be not slothful<S>6101</S> to go<S>3212</S> and to enter<S>935</S> in to possess<S>3423</S> the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in those days<S>3117</S>, when there was no king<S>4428</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, that there was a certain<S>376</S> Levite<S>3881</S> sojourning<S>1481</S> on the farther side<S>3411</S> of the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, who took<S>3947</S> to him a concubine<S>802</S> out of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah.


text:
But the man<S>376</S> would<S>14</S> not tarry that night<S>3885</S>, but he rose up<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> over against<S>5227</S> Jebus<S>2982</S> (the same is Jerusalem<S>3389</S>): and there were with him a couple<S>6776</S> of asses<S>2543</S> saddled<S>2280</S>; his concubine also was with him<S>6370</S>.


text:
When they were by Jebus<S>2982</S>, the day<S>3117</S> was far<S>3966</S> spent<S>7286</S>; and the servant<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> unto his master<S>113</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, I pray thee<S>5493</S>, and let us turn aside into this city<S>5892</S> of the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, and lodge in it<S>3885</S>.


text:
And his master<S>113</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5493</S>, We will not turn aside into the city<S>5892</S> of a foreigner<S>5237</S>, that is not of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; but we will pass over<S>5674</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his servant<S>5288</S>, Come<S>3212</S> and let us draw near<S>7126</S> to one<S>259</S> of these places<S>4725</S>; and we will lodge<S>3885</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>, or in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
So they passed on<S>5674</S> and went their way<S>3212</S>; and the sun<S>8121</S> went down<S>935</S> upon them near<S>681</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, which belongeth to Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
And they turned aside<S>5493</S> thither<S>935</S>, to go in to lodge<S>3885</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>: and he went in<S>935</S>, and sat him down<S>3427</S> in the street<S>7339</S> of the city<S>5892</S>; for there was no man<S>376</S> that took<S>622</S> them into his house<S>1004</S> to lodge<S>3885</S>.


text:
And<S>935</S>, behold, there came an old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> from his work<S>4639</S> out of the field<S>7704</S> at even<S>6153</S>: now the man was<S>376</S> of the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and he sojourned<S>1481</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>; but the men<S>582</S> of the place<S>4725</S> were Benjamites<S>1145</S>.


text:
And he lifted up<S>5375</S> his eyes<S>5869</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the wayfaring<S>732</S> man<S>376</S> in the street<S>7339</S> of the city<S>5892</S>; and the old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S>, Whither goest<S>3212</S> thou<S>370</S>? and whence comest thou<S>935</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5674</S>, We are passing from Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah unto the farther side<S>3411</S> of the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>; from thence am I<S>3212</S>, and I went to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah: and I am now going<S>1980</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and there is no man<S>376</S> that taketh<S>622</S> me into his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Yet there is<S>3426</S> both straw<S>8401</S> and provender<S>4554</S> for our asses<S>2543</S>; and there is bread<S>3899</S> and wine<S>3196</S> also for me<S>519</S>, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man<S>5288</S> that is with thy servants<S>5650</S>: there is no want<S>4270</S> of anything<S>1697</S>.


text:
And his concubine<S>6370</S> played the harlot<S>2181</S> against him<S>3212</S>, and went away from him unto her father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah, and was there the space of four<S>702</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And the old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S>, Peace<S>7965</S> be unto thee<S>7535</S>; howsoever let all thy wants<S>4270</S> lie upon me<S>3885</S>; only lodge not in the street<S>7339</S>.


text:
So he brought<S>935</S> him into his house<S>1004</S>, and gave the asses<S>2543</S> fodder<S>1101</S>; and they washed<S>7364</S> their feet<S>7272</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
As they were making their hearts<S>3820</S> merry<S>3190</S>, behold<S>582</S>, the men of the city<S>5892</S>, certain<S>582</S> base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>582</S>, beset<S>5437</S> the house<S>1004</S> round about<S>5437</S>, beating<S>1849</S> at the door<S>1817</S>; and they spake<S>559</S> to the master<S>1167</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, the old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Bring forth<S>3318</S> the man<S>376</S> that came<S>935</S> into thy house<S>1004</S>, that we may know him<S>3045</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S>, the master<S>1167</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, went out<S>3318</S> unto them<S>559</S>, and said unto them<S>408</S>, Nay, my brethren<S>251</S>, I pray you<S>7489</S>, do not so wickedly; seeing<S>310</S> that this man<S>376</S> is come<S>935</S> into my house<S>1004</S>, do<S>6213</S> not this folly<S>5039</S>.


text:
Behold<S>1323</S>, here is my daughter a virgin<S>1330</S>, and his concubine<S>6370</S>; them I will bring out<S>3318</S> now<S>6031</S>, and humble ye them<S>6213</S>, and do with them what seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> unto you<S>376</S>: but unto this man do<S>6213</S> not any<S>2063</S> such<S>1697</S> folly<S>5039</S>.


text:
But the men<S>582</S> would<S>14</S> not hearken<S>8085</S> to him<S>376</S>: so the man laid<S>2388</S> hold on his concubine<S>6370</S>, and brought<S>3318</S> her forth<S>2351</S> unto them<S>3045</S>; and they knew her<S>5953</S>, and abused her all the night<S>3915</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>: and when the day<S>7837</S> began to spring<S>5927</S>, they let her go<S>7971</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> the woman<S>802</S> in the dawning<S>6437</S> of the day<S>1242</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the man<S>376</S>'s house<S>1004</S> where her lord<S>113</S> was<S>216</S>, till it was light.


text:
And her lord<S>113</S> rose up<S>6965</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and went out<S>3318</S> to go<S>3212</S> his way<S>1870</S>; and<S>802</S>, behold, the woman his concubine<S>6370</S> was fallen down<S>5307</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, with her hands<S>3027</S> upon the threshold<S>5592</S>.

And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6965</S>, Up, and let us be going<S>3212</S>; but none answered<S>6030</S>: then he<S>376</S> took<S>3947</S> her up upon the ass<S>2543</S>; and the man<S>376</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and gat<S>3212</S> him unto his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And when he was come<S>935</S> into his house<S>1004</S>, he took<S>3947</S> a knife<S>3979</S>, and laid hold<S>2388</S> on his concubine<S>6370</S>, and divided<S>5408</S> her<S>6106</S>, limb by limb, into twelve<S>8147</S> pieces<S>5409</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> her throughout all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And her husband<S>376</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> her<S>1696</S>, to speak kindly<S>3820</S> unto her<S>7725</S>, to bring her again, having his servant<S>5288</S> with him<S>6776</S>, and a couple of asses<S>2543</S>: and she brought<S>935</S> him into her father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; and when the father<S>1</S> of the damsel<S>5291</S> saw<S>7200</S> him<S>8055</S>, he rejoiced to meet him<S>7125</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>1961</S>, that all that saw<S>7200</S> it said<S>559</S>, There was no such deed<S>2063</S> done nor seen<S>7200</S> from the day<S>3117</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>: consider<S>7760</S> it<S>5779</S>, take counsel, and speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
And his father-in<S>2859</S>-law, the damsel<S>5291</S>'s father<S>1</S>, retained<S>2388</S> him<S>3427</S>; and he abode with him three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>: so they did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and lodged there<S>3885</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the fourth<S>7243</S> day<S>3117</S>, that they arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and he rose up<S>6965</S> to depart<S>3212</S>: and the damsel<S>5291</S>'s father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S> unto his son-in<S>2860</S>-law, Strengthen<S>5582</S> thy heart<S>3820</S> with a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and afterward<S>310</S> ye shall go your way<S>3212</S>.


text:
So they sat down<S>3427</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, both<S>8147</S> of them together<S>3162</S>: and the damsel<S>5291</S>'s father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S> unto the man<S>376</S>, Be pleased<S>2974</S>, I pray thee<S>3885</S>, to tarry all night, and let thy heart<S>3820</S> be merry<S>3190</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to depart<S>3212</S>; but his father-in<S>2859</S>-law urged<S>6484</S> him<S>3885</S>, and he lodged there again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And he arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> on the fifth<S>2549</S> day<S>3117</S> to depart<S>3212</S>; and the damsel<S>5291</S>'s father<S>1</S> said<S>559</S>, Strengthen<S>5582</S> thy heart<S>3824</S>, I pray thee<S>4102</S>, and tarry ye until the day declineth<S>3117</S>; and they did eat<S>398</S>, both of them<S>8147</S>.


text:
And when the man<S>376</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, he<S>6370</S>, and his concubine, and his servant<S>5288</S>, his father-in<S>2859</S>-law, the damsel<S>5291</S>'s father<S>1</S>, said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3117</S>, Behold, now the day draweth<S>7503</S> toward evening<S>6150</S>, I pray you tarry all night<S>3885</S>: behold<S>3117</S>, the day groweth to an end<S>2583</S>, lodge<S>3885</S> here<S>3824</S>, that thy heart may be merry<S>3190</S>; and to-morrow<S>4279</S> get you early<S>7925</S> on your way<S>1870</S>, that thou mayest go<S>1980</S> home<S>168</S>.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came up<S>5927</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S> to Bochim<S>1066</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, I made you to go up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and have brought<S>935</S> you unto the land<S>776</S> which I sware<S>7650</S> unto your fathers<S>1</S>; and I said<S>559</S>, I will never<S>5769</S> break<S>6565</S> my covenant with you<S>1285</S>:


text:
And also all that generation<S>1755</S> were gathered<S>622</S> unto their fathers<S>1</S>: and there arose<S>6965</S> another<S>312</S> generation<S>1755</S> after<S>310</S> them<S>3045</S>, that knew not Jehovah<S>3068</S>, nor yet the work<S>4639</S> which he had wrought<S>6213</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S>;


text:
and they forsook<S>5800</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>, who brought them out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and followed<S>3212</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, of the gods<S>430</S> of the peoples<S>5971</S> that were round about<S>5439</S> them<S>7812</S>, and bowed themselves down unto them<S>3068</S>: and they provoked Jehovah to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
And they forsook<S>5800</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>.


text:
And the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hands<S>3027</S> of spoilers<S>8154</S> that despoiled<S>8155</S> them<S>4376</S>; and he sold them into the hands<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> round about<S>5439</S>, so that they could<S>3201</S> not any longer<S>5750</S> stand<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> their enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
Whithersoever they went out<S>3318</S>, the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was against them for evil<S>7451</S>, as Jehovah<S>3068</S> had spoken<S>1696</S>, and as Jehovah<S>3068</S> had sworn<S>7650</S> unto them<S>3966</S>: and they were sore distressed<S>3334</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> raised up<S>6965</S> judges<S>8199</S>, who saved<S>3467</S> them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of those that despoiled them<S>8154</S>.


text:
And yet they hearkened<S>8085</S> not unto their judges<S>8199</S>; for they played the harlot<S>2181</S> after<S>310</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> themselves down unto them<S>5493</S>: they turned aside quickly<S>4118</S> out of the way<S>1870</S> wherein their fathers<S>1</S> walked<S>1980</S>, obeying<S>8085</S> the commandments<S>4687</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; but they did not so<S>6213</S>.


text:
And when Jehovah<S>3068</S> raised<S>6965</S> them up judges<S>8199</S>, then Jehovah<S>3068</S> was with the judge<S>8199</S>, and saved<S>3467</S> them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of the judge<S>8199</S>: for it repented<S>5162</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> because<S>6440</S> of their groaning<S>5009</S> by reason of them that oppressed<S>3905</S> them and vexed them<S>1766</S>.


text:
But it came to pass<S>8199</S>, when the judge was dead<S>4194</S>, that they turned<S>7725</S> back<S>7843</S>, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers<S>1</S>, in following<S>3212</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S> to serve<S>5647</S> them<S>7812</S>, and to bow down unto them<S>5307</S>; they ceased not from their doings<S>4611</S>, nor from their stubborn<S>7186</S> way<S>1870</S>.


text:
and ye shall make<S>3772</S> no covenant<S>1285</S> with the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of this land<S>776</S>; ye shall break down<S>5422</S> their altars<S>4196</S>. But ye have not hearkened<S>8085</S> unto my voice<S>6963</S>: why have ye done this<S>6213</S>?


text:
And the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, Because this nation<S>1471</S> have transgressed<S>5674</S> my covenant<S>1285</S> which I commanded<S>6680</S> their fathers<S>1</S>, and have not hearkened<S>8085</S> unto my voice<S>6963</S>;


text:
I also will not henceforth<S>3254</S> drive out<S>3423</S> any<S>376</S> from before<S>6440</S> them of the nations<S>1471</S> that Joshua<S>3091</S> left<S>5800</S> when he died<S>4191</S>;


text:
that by them I may prove<S>5254</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, whether they will keep<S>8104</S> the way<S>1870</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> to walk<S>3212</S> therein<S>1</S>, as their fathers did keep it<S>8104</S>, or not.


text:
So Jehovah<S>3068</S> left<S>3240</S> those nations<S>1471</S>, without<S>1115</S> driving them out<S>3423</S> hastily<S>4118</S>; neither delivered<S>5414</S> he them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>.


text:
Wherefore I also said<S>559</S>, I will not drive them out<S>1644</S> from before<S>6440</S> you<S>6654</S>; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods<S>430</S> shall be a snare unto you<S>4170</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4397</S>, when the angel of Jehovah<S>3068</S> spake<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> unto all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that the people<S>5971</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And they called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of that place<S>4725</S> Bochim<S>1066</S>: and they sacrificed<S>2076</S> there unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now when Joshua<S>3091</S> had sent the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>, the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> every man<S>376</S> unto his inheritance<S>5159</S> to possess<S>3423</S> the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> served<S>5647</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Joshua<S>3091</S>, and all the days<S>3117</S> of the elders<S>2205</S> that outlived<S>3117</S> Joshua<S>3091</S>, who had seen<S>7200</S> all the great<S>1419</S> work<S>4639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> that he had wrought<S>6213</S> for Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Joshua<S>3091</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nun<S>5126</S>, the servant<S>5650</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, died<S>4191</S>, being a hundred<S>3967</S> and ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S>.


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> him in the border<S>1366</S> of his inheritance<S>5159</S> in Timnath-heres<S>8556</S>, in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, on the north of the mountain<S>2022</S> of Gaash<S>1608</S>.


text:
Then all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and the congregation<S>5712</S> was assembled<S>6950</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, from Dan<S>1835</S> even to Beer-sheba<S>884</S>, with the land<S>776</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> at Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
and we will take<S>3947</S> ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> of a hundred<S>3967</S> throughout all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and a hundred<S>3967</S> of a thousand<S>505</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> out of ten thousand<S>7233</S>, to fetch<S>3947</S> victuals<S>6720</S> for the people<S>5971</S>, that they may do<S>6213</S>, when they come<S>935</S> to Gibeah<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, according to all the folly<S>5039</S> that they have wrought<S>6213</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered<S>622</S> against the city<S>5892</S>, knit together<S>2270</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> men<S>582</S> through all the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, saying<S>559</S>, What wickedness<S>7451</S> is this that is come to pass among you<S>1961</S>?


text:
Now therefore deliver<S>5414</S> up the men<S>582</S>, the base<S>1100</S> fellows<S>1121</S>, that are in Gibeah<S>1390</S>, that we may put them to death<S>4191</S>, and put away<S>1197</S> evil<S>7451</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>. But Benjamin<S>1144, 1121</S> would<S>14</S> not hearken<S>8085</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of their brethren<S>251</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> gathered themselves together<S>622</S> out of the cities<S>5892</S> unto Gibeah<S>1390</S>, to go out<S>3318</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> were numbered<S>6485</S> on that day<S>3117</S> out of the cities<S>5892</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> sword<S>2719</S>, besides the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Gibeah<S>1390</S>, who were numbered<S>6485</S> seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Among all this people<S>5971</S> there were seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> lefthanded<S>3027</S>; every one could sling<S>7049</S> stones<S>68</S> at a hair-breadth<S>8185</S>, and not miss<S>2398</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, besides Benjamin<S>1144</S>, were numbered<S>6485</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> sword<S>2719</S>: all these were men<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to<S>1004</S> Beth-el<S>430</S>, and asked<S>7592</S> counsel of God<S>430</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, Who<S>4310</S> shall go up<S>5927</S> for us first<S>8462</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Judah<S>3063</S> shall go up first<S>8462</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> rose up<S>6965</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Gibeah<S>1390</S>.


text:
And the chiefs<S>6438</S> of all the people<S>5971</S>, even of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, presented<S>3320</S> themselves in the assembly<S>6951</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of God<S>430</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against Benjamin<S>1144</S>; and the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> set the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> against them at Gibeah<S>1390</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> came forth<S>3318</S> out of Gibeah<S>1390</S>, and destroyed down<S>7843</S> to the ground<S>776</S> of the Israelites<S>3478</S> on that day<S>3117</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S>, the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, encouraged<S>2388</S> themselves<S>4421</S>, and set the battle again<S>3254</S> in array<S>6186</S> in the place<S>4725</S> where they set themselves in array<S>6186</S> the first<S>7223</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> and wept<S>1058</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> until even<S>6153</S>; and they asked<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I again<S>3254</S> draw<S>5066</S> nigh to battle<S>4421</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> my brother<S>251</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Go up against him<S>5927</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came near<S>7126</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S>.

And Benjamin<S>1144</S> went forth<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> them out of Gibeah<S>1390</S> the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S>, and destroyed down<S>7843</S> to the ground<S>776</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> again eighteen<S>8083</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>; all these drew<S>8025</S> the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Then all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S>, went up<S>5927</S>, and came<S>935</S> unto<S>1004</S> Beth-el<S>430</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> there before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S> that day<S>3117</S> until even<S>6153</S>; and they offered<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> and peace-offerings<S>5930</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> asked<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> (for the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of God<S>430</S> was there in those days<S>3117</S>,


text:
and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Eleazar<S>499</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>, stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> it in those days<S>3117</S>), saying<S>559</S>, Shall I yet again<S>3254</S> go out<S>3318</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> my brother<S>251</S>, or shall I cease<S>2308</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>; for to-morrow<S>4279</S> I will deliver<S>5414</S> him into thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> set<S>7760</S> liers-in<S>693</S>-wait against Gibeah<S>1390</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
(Now the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> heard<S>8085</S> that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gone up<S>5927</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>.) And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>1696</S> us<S>1961</S>, how was this wickedness brought to pass<S>7451</S>?


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> against the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, and set themselves in array<S>6186</S> against Gibeah<S>1390</S>, as at other times<S>6471</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> went out<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and were drawn away<S>5423</S> from the city<S>5892</S>; and they began<S>2490</S> to smite<S>5221</S> and kill<S>2491</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, as at other times<S>6471</S>, in the highways<S>4546</S>, of which one<S>259</S> goeth up<S>5927</S> to<S>1004</S> Beth-el<S>430</S>, and the other<S>259</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, in the field<S>7704</S>, about thirty<S>7970</S> men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> said<S>559</S>, They are smitten down<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>7223</S>, as at the first. But the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Let us flee<S>5127</S>, and draw<S>5423</S> them away from the city<S>5892</S> unto the highways<S>4546</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> rose up<S>6965</S> out of their place<S>4725</S>, and set themselves in array<S>6186</S> at Baal-tamar<S>1193</S>: and the liers-in<S>693</S>-wait of Israel<S>3478</S> brake forth<S>1518</S> out of their place<S>4725</S>, even out of<S>4629</S> Maareh-geba<S>1387</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> over against<S>5048</S> Gibeah<S>1390</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> out of all Israel<S>3478</S>, and the battle<S>4421</S> was sore<S>3513</S>; but they knew<S>3045</S> not that evil<S>7451</S> was close upon them<S>5060</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> smote<S>5062</S> Benjamin<S>1144</S> before<S>6440</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> destroyed<S>7843</S> of Benjamin<S>1145</S> that day<S>3117</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> and a hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>: all these drew<S>8025</S> the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
So the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were smitten<S>5062</S>; for the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gave<S>5414</S> place<S>4725</S> to Benjamin<S>1145</S>, because they trusted<S>982</S> unto the liers-in<S>693</S>-wait whom they had set<S>7760</S> against Gibeah<S>1390</S>.


text:
And the liers-in<S>693</S>-wait hasted<S>2363</S>, and rushed<S>6584</S> upon Gibeah<S>1390</S>; and the liers-in<S>693</S>-wait drew themselves along<S>4900</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> all the city<S>5892</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Now the appointed sign<S>4150</S> between the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and<S>5973</S> the liers-in<S>693</S>-wait was<S>7235</S>, that they should make a great cloud<S>4864</S> of smoke<S>6227</S> rise up<S>5927</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> turned<S>2015</S> in the battle<S>4421</S>, and Benjamin<S>1144</S> began<S>2490</S> to smite<S>5221</S> and kill<S>2491</S> of the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> about thirty<S>7970</S> persons<S>376</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, Surely<S>5062</S> they are smitten down<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> us<S>7223</S>, as in the first battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And the Levite<S>3881</S>, the husband<S>376</S> of the woman<S>802</S> that was murdered<S>7523</S>, answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, I came<S>935</S> into Gibeah<S>1390</S> that belongeth to Benjamin<S>1144</S>, I and my concubine<S>6370</S>, to lodge<S>3885</S>.


text:
But when the cloud<S>4864</S> began<S>2490</S> to arise up<S>5927</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> in a pillar<S>5982</S> of smoke<S>6227</S>, the Benjamites<S>1145</S> looked<S>6437</S> behind<S>310</S> them<S>5892</S>; and, behold, the whole of the city went up<S>5927</S> in smoke<S>3632</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> turned<S>2015</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> were dismayed<S>926</S>; for they saw<S>7200</S> that evil<S>7451</S> was come upon them<S>5060</S>.


text:
Therefore they turned<S>6437</S> their backs before<S>6440</S> the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> unto the way<S>1870</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>; but the battle<S>4421</S> followed<S>1692</S> hard after them<S>5892</S>; and they that came out of the cities destroyed<S>7843</S> them in the midst thereof<S>8432</S>.


text:
They inclosed<S>3803</S> the Benjamites<S>1145</S> round about<S>3803</S>, and chased<S>7291</S> them<S>1869</S>, and trod them down at their resting-place<S>4496</S>, as far as over against<S>5227</S> Gibeah<S>1390</S> toward the sunrising<S>4217</S>.


text:
And there fell<S>5307</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> eighteen<S>8083</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>; all these were men<S>582</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
And they turned<S>6437</S> and fled<S>5127</S> toward the wilderness<S>4057</S> unto the rock<S>5553</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S>: and they gleaned<S>5953</S> of them in the highways<S>4546</S> five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, and followed<S>1692</S> hard after<S>310</S> them unto Gidom<S>1440</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> of them two thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
So that all who fell<S>5307</S> that day<S>3117</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> were twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> the sword<S>2719</S>; all these were men<S>582</S> of valor<S>2428</S>.


text:
But six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> turned<S>6437</S> and fled<S>5127</S> toward the wilderness<S>4057</S> unto the rock<S>5553</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S>, and abode<S>3427</S> in the rock<S>5553</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S> four<S>702</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> turned again<S>7725</S> upon the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> them with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, both the entire<S>4974</S> city<S>5892</S>, and<S>5704</S> the cattle<S>929</S>, and all that they found<S>4672</S>: moreover all the cities<S>5892</S> which they found<S>4672</S> they set<S>7971</S> on fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And the men<S>1167</S> of Gibeah<S>1390</S> rose<S>6965</S> against me<S>5437</S>, and beset the house<S>1004</S> round about<S>5437</S> me by night<S>3915</S>; me they thought<S>1819</S> to have slain<S>2026</S>, and my concubine<S>6370</S> they forced<S>6031</S>, and she is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And I took<S>270</S> my concubine<S>6370</S>, and cut her in pieces<S>5408</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> her throughout all the country<S>7704</S> of the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; for they have committed<S>6213</S> lewdness<S>2154</S> and folly<S>5039</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Behold<S>1121</S>, ye children of Israel<S>3478</S>, all of you<S>3051</S>, give here<S>1988</S> your advice<S>1697</S> and counsel<S>6098</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> arose<S>6965</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We will not any<S>376</S> of us go<S>3212</S> to his tent<S>168</S>, neither will we any<S>376</S> of us turn<S>5493</S> unto his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
But now this is the thing<S>1697</S> which we will do<S>6213</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>: we will go up against it by lot<S>1486</S>;


text:
Now the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had sworn<S>7650</S> in Mizpah<S>4709</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There shall not any<S>376</S> of us give<S>5414</S> his daughter<S>1323</S> unto Benjamin<S>1144</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And the congregation<S>5712</S> sent<S>7971</S> thither twelve<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of the valiantest<S>1121</S>, and commanded<S>6680</S> them<S>559</S>, saying, Go<S>3212</S> and smite<S>5221</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, with the women<S>802</S> and the little ones<S>2945</S>.


text:
And this is the thing<S>1697</S> that ye shall do<S>6213</S>: ye shall utterly destroy<S>2763</S> every male<S>2145</S>, and every woman<S>802</S> that hath lain<S>4904</S> by man<S>3045</S>.


text:
And they found<S>4672</S> among the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> young<S>5291</S> virgins<S>1330</S>, that had not known<S>3045</S> man<S>376</S> by lying<S>4904</S> with him<S>2145</S>; and they brought<S>935</S> them unto the camp<S>4264</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>, which is in the land<S>776</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>.


text:
And the whole congregation<S>5712</S> sent<S>7971</S> and spake<S>1696</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> that were in the rock<S>5553</S> of Rimmon<S>7417</S>, and proclaimed<S>7121</S> peace unto them<S>7965</S>.


text:
And Benjamin<S>1144</S> returned<S>7725</S> at that time<S>6256</S>; and they gave<S>5414</S> them the women<S>802</S> whom they had saved alive<S>2421</S> of the women<S>802</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S>: and yet so they sufficed them not<S>4672</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> repented<S>5162</S> them for Benjamin<S>1144</S>, because that Jehovah<S>3068</S> had made<S>6213</S> a breach<S>6556</S> in the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then the elders<S>2205</S> of the congregation<S>5712</S> said<S>559</S>, How shall we do<S>6213</S> for wives<S>802</S> for them that remain<S>3498</S>, seeing the women<S>802</S> are destroyed<S>8045</S> out of Benjamin<S>1144</S>?


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, There must be an inheritance<S>3425</S> for them that are escaped<S>6413</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, that a tribe<S>7626</S> be not blotted<S>4229</S> out from Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Howbeit we may<S>3201</S> not give<S>5414</S> them wives<S>802</S> of our daughters<S>1323</S>, for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> had sworn<S>7650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Cursed<S>779</S> be he that giveth<S>5414</S> a wife<S>802</S> to Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>2282</S>, there is a feast of Jehovah<S>3068</S> from year to year<S>3117</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, which is on the north<S>6828</S> of Beth-el<S>1008</S>, on the east side<S>6828</S> of the highway<S>4546</S> that goeth up<S>5927</S> from Beth-el<S>1008</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>, and on the south<S>5045</S> of Lebonah<S>3829</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> came<S>935</S> to<S>1004</S> Beth-el<S>430</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> there till even<S>6153</S> before<S>6440</S> God<S>430</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> their voices<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> sore<S>1419</S>.


text:
And they commanded<S>6680</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and lie in wait<S>693</S> in the vineyards<S>3754</S>,


text:
and see<S>7200</S>, and<S>1323</S>, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh<S>7887</S> come out<S>3318</S> to dance<S>2342</S> in the dances<S>4246</S>, then come ye out<S>3318</S> of the vineyards<S>3754</S>, and catch<S>2414</S> you every man<S>376</S> his wife<S>802</S> of the daughters<S>1323</S> of Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and go<S>1980</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>1</S>, when their fathers or their brethren<S>251</S> come<S>935</S> to complain<S>7378</S> unto us<S>559</S>, that we will say unto them<S>2603</S>, Grant them graciously unto us<S>3947</S>, because we took not for each man<S>376</S> of them his wife<S>802</S> in battle<S>4421</S>, neither did ye give<S>5414</S> them unto them<S>6256</S>, else would ye now be guilty<S>816</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and took<S>5375</S> them wives<S>802</S>, according to their number<S>4557</S>, of them that danced<S>2342</S>, whom they carried<S>1497</S> off<S>3212</S>: and they went and returned<S>7725</S> unto their inheritance<S>5159</S>, and built<S>1129</S> the cities<S>5892</S>, and dwelt in them<S>3427</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> departed<S>1980</S> thence at that time<S>6256</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his tribe<S>7626</S> and to his family<S>4940</S>, and they went out<S>3318</S> from thence every man<S>376</S> to his inheritance<S>5159</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, why is this come to pass in Israel<S>3478</S>, that there should be to-day<S>3117</S> one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S> lacking<S>6485</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S>, that the people<S>5971</S> rose early<S>7925</S>, and built<S>1129</S> there an altar<S>4196</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> and peace-offerings<S>5930</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Who is there among all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that<S>834</S> came<S>5927</S> not up in the assembly<S>6951</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>? For they had made a great<S>1419</S> oath<S>7621</S> concerning him that came not up<S>5927</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>, saying<S>559</S>, He shall surely<S>4191</S> be put to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> repented<S>5162</S> them for Benjamin<S>1144</S> their brother<S>251</S>, and said<S>559</S>, There is one<S>259</S> tribe<S>7626</S> cut off<S>1438</S> from Israel<S>3478</S> this day<S>3117</S>.

How shall we do<S>6213</S> for wives<S>802</S> for them that remain<S>3498</S>, seeing we have sworn<S>7650</S> by Jehovah<S>3068</S> that we will not give<S>5414</S> them of our daughters<S>1323</S> to wives<S>802</S>?


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, What one<S>259</S> is there of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that came not up<S>5927</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>? And<S>935</S>, behold, there came none<S>376</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> from Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S> to the assembly<S>6951</S>.


text:
For when the people<S>5971</S> were numbered<S>6485</S>, behold<S>376</S>, there were none of the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S> there.


text:
Now these are the nations<S>1471</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> left<S>3240</S>, to prove<S>5254</S> Israel<S>3478</S> by them<S>3045</S>, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars<S>4421</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>;


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came upon him<S>8199</S>, and he judged Israel<S>3478</S>; and he went out<S>3318</S> to war<S>4421</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> Cushan-rishathaim<S>3573</S> king<S>4428</S> of Mesopotamia<S>763</S> into his hand<S>3027</S>: and his hand<S>3027</S> prevailed<S>5810</S> against Cushan-rishathaim<S>3573</S>.


text:
And the land<S>776</S> had rest<S>8252</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>. And Othniel<S>6274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kenaz<S>7073</S> died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> again<S>3254</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> strengthened<S>2388</S> Eglon<S>5700</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, because they had done<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And he gathered<S>622</S> unto him the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> and Amalek<S>6002</S>; and he went<S>3212</S> and smote<S>5221</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and they possessed<S>3423</S> the city<S>5892</S> of palm-trees<S>8558</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> served<S>5647</S> Eglon<S>5700</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> eighteen<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
But when the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> raised them up<S>6965</S> a saviour<S>3467</S>, Ehud<S>164</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, the Benjamite<S>1145</S>, a man<S>376</S> left-handed<S>334</S>. And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sent<S>7971</S> tribute<S>4503</S> by him<S>3027</S> unto Eglon<S>5700</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>.


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> made<S>6213</S> him a sword<S>2719</S> which had two<S>8147</S> edges<S>6366</S>, a cubit<S>1574</S> in length<S>753</S>; and he girded<S>2296</S> it under his raiment<S>4055</S> upon his right<S>3225</S> thigh<S>3409</S>.


text:
And he offered<S>7126</S> the tribute<S>4503</S> unto Eglon<S>5700</S> king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: now Eglon<S>5700</S> was a very<S>3966</S> fat<S>1277</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And when he had made an end<S>3615</S> of offering<S>7126</S> the tribute<S>4503</S>, he sent away<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> that bare<S>5375</S> the tribute<S>4503</S>.


text:
But he himself turned back<S>7725</S> from the quarries<S>6456</S> that were by Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I have a secret<S>5643</S> errand<S>1697</S> unto thee<S>4428</S>, O king. And he said<S>559</S>, Keep silence<S>2013</S>. And all that stood<S>5975</S> by him went out from him<S>3318</S>.


text:
only that<S>7535</S> the generations<S>1755</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> might know<S>3045</S>, to teach<S>3925</S> them war<S>4421</S>, at the least such as beforetime<S>6440</S> knew nothing thereof<S>3045</S>:


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> came<S>935</S> unto him<S>3427</S>; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool<S>4747</S> upper room<S>5944</S>. And Ehud<S>164</S> said<S>559</S>, I have a message<S>1697</S> from God<S>430</S> unto thee<S>6965</S>. And he arose out of his seat<S>3678</S>.


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> put forth<S>7971</S> his left<S>8040</S> hand<S>3027</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the sword<S>2719</S> from his right<S>3225</S> thigh<S>3409</S>, and thrust<S>8628</S> it into his body<S>990</S>:


text:
and the haft<S>5325</S> also went in<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> the blade<S>3851</S>; and the fat<S>2459</S> closed<S>5462</S> upon<S>1157</S> the blade<S>3851</S>, for he drew<S>8025</S> not the sword<S>2719</S> out of his body<S>990</S>; and it<S>6574</S> came out behind<S>3318</S>.


text:
Then Ehud<S>164</S> went forth<S>3318</S> into the porch<S>4528</S>, and shut<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the upper room<S>5944</S> upon him<S>5274</S>, and locked them.


text:
Now when he was gone out<S>3318</S>, his servants<S>5650</S> came<S>935</S>; and they saw<S>7200</S>, and<S>1817</S>, behold, the doors of the upper room<S>5944</S> were locked<S>5274</S>; and they said<S>559</S>, Surely he is covering<S>5526</S> his feet<S>7272</S> in the upper<S>4747</S> chamber<S>2315</S>.


text:
And they tarried<S>2342</S> till they were ashamed<S>954</S>; and<S>6605</S>, behold, he opened not the doors<S>1817</S> of the upper room<S>5944</S>: therefore they took<S>3947</S> the key<S>4668</S>, and opened<S>6605</S> them<S>113</S>, and, behold, their lord was fallen down<S>5307</S> dead<S>4191</S> on the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And Ehud<S>164</S> escaped<S>4422</S> while they tarried<S>4102</S>, and passed beyond<S>5674</S> the quarries<S>6456</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S> unto Seirah<S>8167</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when he was come, that he blew<S>8628</S> a trumpet<S>7782</S> in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went down<S>3381</S> with him from the hill-country<S>2022</S>, and he before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7291</S>, Follow after<S>310</S> me<S>3068</S>; for Jehovah hath delivered<S>5414</S> your enemies<S>341</S> the Moabites<S>4124</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>. And they went down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>3920</S>, and took the fords<S>4569</S> of the Jordan<S>3383</S> against the Moabites<S>4124</S>, and suffered<S>5414</S> not a man<S>376</S> to pass over<S>5674</S>.


text:
And they smote<S>5221</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> at that time<S>6256</S> about ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>, every lusty<S>8082</S> man<S>376</S>, and every man of valor<S>2428</S>; and there escaped<S>4422</S> not a man<S>376</S>.


text:
namely<S>2568</S>, the five lords<S>5633</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and all the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, and the Sidonians<S>6722</S>, and the Hivites<S>2340</S> that dwelt<S>3427</S> in mount<S>2022</S> Lebanon<S>3844</S>, from mount<S>2022</S> Baal-hermon<S>1179</S> unto the entrance<S>935</S> of Hamath<S>2574</S>.


text:
So Moab<S>4124</S> was subdued<S>3665</S> that day<S>3117</S> under the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And the land<S>776</S> had rest<S>8252</S> fourscore<S>8084</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> him was Shamgar<S>8044</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Anath<S>6067</S>, who smote<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> with an ox<S>1241</S> - goad<S>4451</S>: and he also saved<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And they were left<S>5254</S>, to prove Israel<S>3478</S> by them<S>3045</S>, to know whether they would hearken<S>8085</S> unto the commandments<S>4687</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he commanded<S>6680</S> their fathers<S>1</S> by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> among<S>7130</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, the Hittites<S>2850</S>, and the Amorites<S>567</S>, and the Perizzites<S>6522</S>, and the Hivites<S>2340</S>, and the Jebusites<S>2983</S>:


text:
and they took<S>3947</S> their daughters<S>1323</S> to be their wives<S>802</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> their own daughters<S>1323</S> to their sons<S>1121</S> and served<S>5647</S> their gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and forgat<S>7911</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, and served<S>5647</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S> and the Asheroth<S>842</S>.


text:
Therefore the anger<S>639</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>, and he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Cushan-rishathaim<S>3573</S> king<S>4428</S> of Mesopotamia<S>763</S>: and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> served<S>5647</S> Cushan-rishathaim<S>3573</S> eight<S>8083</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And when the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> raised up<S>6965</S> a saviour<S>3467</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who saved<S>3467</S> them<S>6274</S>, even Othniel the son<S>1121</S> of Kenaz<S>7073</S>, Caleb<S>3612</S>'s younger<S>6996</S> brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> again<S>3254</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, when Ehud<S>164</S> was dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Barak<S>1301</S> called<S>2199</S> Zebulun<S>2074</S> and Naphtali<S>5321</S> together to Kedesh<S>6943</S>; and there went up<S>5927</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> at his feet<S>7272</S>: and Deborah<S>1683</S> went up with him<S>5927</S>.


text:
Now Heber<S>2268</S> the Kenite<S>7017</S> had separated<S>6504</S> himself from the Kenites<S>7017</S>, even from the sons<S>1121</S> of Hobab<S>2246</S> the brother-in<S>2859</S>-law of Moses<S>4872</S>, and had pitched<S>5186</S> his tent<S>168</S> as far as the oak<S>436</S> in Zaanannim<S>6815</S>, which is by Kedesh<S>6943</S>.


text:
And they told<S>5046</S> Sisera<S>5516</S> that Barak<S>1301</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abinoam<S>42</S> was gone up<S>5927</S> to mountain<S>2022</S> Tabor<S>8396</S>.


text:
And Sisera<S>5516</S> gathered together<S>2199</S> all his chariots<S>7393</S>, even nine<S>8672</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S> of iron<S>1270</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>2800</S>, from Harosheth of the Nations<S>1471</S>, unto the river<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S>.


text:
And Deborah<S>1683</S> said<S>559</S> unto Barak<S>1301</S>, Up<S>6965</S>; for this is the day<S>3117</S> in which Jehovah<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> Sisera<S>5516</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>; is not Jehovah<S>3068</S> gone out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>1301</S>? So Barak went down<S>3381</S> from mountain<S>2022</S> Tabor<S>8396</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> after him<S>310</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> defeated<S>2000</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, and all his chariots<S>7393</S>, and all his host<S>4264</S>, with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S> before<S>6440</S> Barak<S>1301</S>; and Sisera<S>5516</S> alighted from<S>3381</S> his chariot<S>4818</S>, and fled away<S>5127</S> on his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
But Barak<S>1301</S> pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> the chariots<S>7393</S>, and after the host<S>4264</S>, unto Harosheth<S>2800</S> of the Nations<S>1471</S>: and all the host<S>4264</S> of Sisera<S>5516</S> fell<S>5307</S> by the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; there was not a man<S>259</S> left<S>7604</S>.


text:
But Sisera<S>5516</S> fled away<S>5127</S> on his feet<S>7272</S> to the tent<S>168</S> of Jael<S>3278</S> the wife<S>802</S> of Heber<S>2268</S> the Kenite<S>7017</S>; for there was peace<S>7965</S> between Jabin<S>2985</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Hazor<S>2674</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of Heber<S>2268</S> the Kenite<S>7017</S>.


text:
And Jael<S>3278</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5493</S>, Turn in, my lord<S>113</S>, turn in<S>5493</S> to me<S>3372</S>; fear not<S>5493</S>. And he turned in unto her into the tent<S>168</S>, and she covered<S>3680</S> him with a rug<S>8063</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>4592</S>, Give me, I pray you, a little water<S>4325</S> to drink<S>8248</S>; for I am thirsty<S>6770</S>. And she opened<S>6605</S> a bottle<S>4997</S> of milk<S>2461</S>, and gave him drink<S>8248</S>, and covered him<S>3680</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Jabin<S>2985</S> king<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>, that reigned<S>4427</S> in Hazor<S>2674</S>; the captain<S>8269</S> of whose host<S>6635</S> was Sisera<S>5516</S>, who lived<S>3427</S> in Harosheth<S>2800</S> of the Nations<S>1471</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>5975</S>, Stand in the door<S>6607</S> of the tent<S>168</S>, and it shall be<S>376</S>, when any man does come<S>935</S> and inquire<S>7592</S> of you<S>559</S>, and say, Is there<S>3426</S> any man<S>376</S> here<S>3426</S>? that you shall say<S>559</S>, No.


text:
Then Jael<S>3278</S> Heber<S>2268</S>'s wife<S>802</S> took<S>3947</S> a tent<S>168</S> - pin<S>3489</S>, and took<S>7760</S> a hammer<S>4718</S> in her hand<S>3027</S>, and went<S>935</S> softly<S>3814</S> unto him<S>8628</S>, and struck the pin<S>3489</S> into his temples<S>7541</S>, and it pierced through into<S>6795</S> the ground<S>776</S>; for he was in a deep sleep<S>7290</S>; so he swooned<S>5774</S> and died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And<S>1301</S>, behold, as Barak pursued<S>7291</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, Jael<S>3278</S> came out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>3212</S>, Come, and I will show<S>7200</S> you the man<S>376</S> whom you seek<S>1245</S>. And he came<S>935</S> unto her<S>5516</S>; and, behold, Sisera lay<S>5307</S> dead<S>4191</S>, and the tent-pin<S>3489</S> was in his temples<S>7541</S>.


text:
So God<S>430</S> subdued<S>3665</S> on that day<S>3117</S> Jabin<S>2985</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S> before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the hand<S>3027</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> prevailed<S>7186</S> more<S>3212</S> and more against Jabin<S>2985</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>, until they had destroyed<S>3772</S> Jabin<S>2985</S> king<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>6817</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>: for he had nine<S>8672</S> hundred<S>3967</S> chariots<S>7393</S> of iron<S>1270</S>; and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S> he mightily<S>2394</S> oppressed<S>3905</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

Now Deborah<S>1683</S>, a prophetess<S>5031</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Lappidoth<S>3941</S>, she judged<S>8199</S> Israel<S>3478</S> at that time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And she lived<S>3427</S> under the palm-tree<S>8560</S> of Deborah<S>1683</S> between Ramah<S>7414</S> and Beth-el<S>1008</S> in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>: and the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came up<S>5927</S> to her for judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
And she sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> Barak<S>1301</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abinoam<S>42</S> out of Kedesh-naphtali<S>6943</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, Has not Jehovah, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, commanded<S>6680</S>, saying<S>3212</S>, Go and draw<S>4900</S> unto mountain<S>2022</S> Tabor<S>8396</S>, and take<S>3947</S> with you ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S> and of the sons<S>1121</S> of Zebulun<S>2074</S>?


text:
And I will draw<S>4900</S> unto you<S>5158</S>, to the river Kishon<S>7028</S>, Sisera<S>5516</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of Jabin<S>2985</S>'s army<S>6635</S>, with his chariots<S>7393</S> and his multitude<S>1995</S>; and I will deliver<S>5414</S> him into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Barak<S>1301</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3212</S>, If you will go with me<S>1980</S>, then I will go; but if you will not go<S>3212</S> with me<S>3212</S>, I will not go.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, I will surely<S>1980</S> go<S>3212</S> with you<S>657</S>: nevertheless, the journey<S>1870</S> that you take<S>1980</S> shall not be for your honor<S>8597</S>; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> will sell<S>4376</S> Sisera<S>5516</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of a woman<S>802</S>. And Deborah<S>1683</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> with Barak<S>1301</S> to Kedesh<S>6943</S>.


text:
Then sang<S>7891</S> Deborah<S>1683</S> and Barak<S>1301</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Abinoam<S>42</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Tell<S>7878</S> of it<S>7392</S>, ye that ride on white<S>6715</S> asses<S>860</S>, Ye that sit<S>3427</S> on rich carpets<S>4055</S>, And ye that walk<S>1980</S> by the way<S>1870</S>.


text:
Far from the noise<S>6963</S> of archers<S>2686</S>, in the places of drawing water<S>4857</S>, There shall they rehearse<S>8567</S> the righteous acts<S>6666</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Even the righteous acts<S>6666</S> of his rule<S>6520</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>. Then the people<S>5971</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> went down<S>3381</S> to the gates<S>8179</S>.


text:
Awake<S>5782</S>, awake<S>5782</S>, Deborah<S>1683</S>; Awake<S>5782</S>, awake<S>5782</S>, utter<S>1696</S> a song<S>7892</S>: Arise<S>6965</S>, Barak<S>1301</S>, and lead away thy<S>7628</S> captives<S>7617</S>, thou son<S>1121</S> of Abinoam<S>42</S>.


text:
Then came down a remnant<S>8300</S> of the nobles<S>117</S> and the people<S>5971</S>; Jehovah<S>3068</S> came down for me against<S>7287</S> the mighty<S>1368</S>.


text:
Out of Ephraim<S>669</S> came down they whose root<S>8328</S> is in Amalek<S>6002</S>; After<S>310</S> thee<S>1144</S>, Benjamin, among thy peoples<S>5971</S>; Out of Machir<S>4353</S> came down<S>3381</S> governors<S>2710</S>, And out of Zebulun<S>2074</S> they that handle<S>4900</S> the marshal<S>5608</S>'s staff<S>7626</S>.


text:
And the princes<S>8269</S> of Issachar<S>3485</S> were with Deborah<S>1683</S>; As was Issachar<S>3485</S>, so was Barak<S>1301</S>; Into the valley<S>6010</S> they rushed<S>7971</S> forth at his feet<S>7272</S>. By the watercourses<S>6390</S> of Reuben<S>7205</S> There were great<S>1419</S> resolves<S>2711</S> of heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
Why sattest<S>3427</S> thou among<S>996</S> the sheepfolds<S>4942</S>, To hear<S>8085</S> the pipings<S>8292</S> for the flocks<S>5739</S>? At the watercourses<S>6390</S> of Reuben<S>7205</S> There were great<S>1419</S> searchings<S>2714</S> of heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
Gilead<S>1568</S> abode<S>7931</S> beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>: And Dan<S>1835</S>, why did he remain<S>1481</S> in ships<S>591</S>? Asher<S>836</S> sat still<S>3427</S> at the haven<S>2348</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>, And abode<S>7931</S> by his creeks<S>4664</S>.


text:
Zebulun<S>2074</S> was a people<S>5971</S> that jeoparded<S>2778</S> their lives<S>5315</S> unto the death<S>4191</S>, And Naphtali<S>5321</S>, upon the high places<S>4791</S> of the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
The kings<S>4428</S> came<S>935</S> and fought<S>3898</S>; Then fought<S>3898</S> the kings<S>4428</S> of Canaan<S>3667</S>. In Taanach<S>8590</S> by the waters<S>4325</S> of Megiddo<S>4023</S>: They took<S>3947</S> no gain<S>1215</S> of money<S>3701</S>.


text:
For that the leaders took the lead<S>6544</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, For that the people<S>5971</S> offered<S>5068</S> themselves willingly<S>1288</S>, Bless ye Jehovah<S>3068</S>.

From heaven<S>8064</S> fought<S>3898</S> the stars<S>3556</S>, From their courses<S>4546</S> they fought<S>3898</S> against Sisera<S>5516</S>.


text:
The river<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S> swept them away<S>1640</S>, That ancient<S>6917</S> river<S>5158</S>, the river<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S>. O my soul<S>5315</S>, march on<S>1869</S> with strength<S>5797</S>.

Then did the horsehoofs<S>6119</S> stamp<S>1986</S> By reason of the prancings<S>1726</S>, the prancings<S>1726</S> of their strong ones<S>47</S>.


text:
Curse<S>779</S> ye Meroz<S>4789</S>, said<S>559</S> the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>. Curse<S>779</S> ye bitterly<S>779</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> thereof<S>935</S>, Because they came not to the help<S>5833</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, To the help<S>5833</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> against the mighty<S>1368</S>.

He asked<S>7592</S> water<S>4325</S>, and she gave<S>5414</S> him milk<S>2461</S>; She brought him<S>7126</S> butter<S>2529</S> in a lordly<S>117</S> dish<S>5602</S>.

She put<S>7971</S> her hand<S>3027</S> to the tent-pin<S>3489</S>, And her right hand<S>3225</S> to the workmen<S>6001</S>'s hammer<S>1989</S>; And with the hammer she smote<S>1986</S> Sisera<S>5516</S>, she smote through<S>4277</S> his head<S>7218</S>; Yea<S>4272</S>, she pierced and struck through<S>2498</S> his temples<S>7541</S>.

At her feet<S>7272</S> he bowed<S>3766</S>, he fell<S>5307</S>, he lay<S>7901</S>; At her feet<S>7272</S> he bowed<S>3766</S>, he fell<S>5307</S>; Where<S>834</S> he bowed<S>3766</S>, there he fell down<S>5307</S> dead<S>7703</S>.

Through the window<S>2474</S> she looked<S>8259</S> forth<S>2980</S>, and cried, The mother<S>517</S> of Sisera cried<S>2980</S> through the lattice<S>822</S>, Why is his chariot<S>7393</S> so long<S>954</S> in coming<S>935</S>?

Her wise<S>2450</S> ladies<S>8282</S> answered<S>6030</S> her<S>7725</S>, Yea, she returned answer to herself<S>561</S>,

So let all thine enemies<S>341</S> perish<S>6</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>: But let them that love<S>157</S> him be as the sun<S>8121</S> when he goeth forth<S>3318</S> in his might<S>1369</S>. And the land<S>776</S> had rest<S>8252</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>.

The mountains<S>2022</S> quaked<S>5140</S> at the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Even yon Sinai<S>5514</S> at the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.

The rulers<S>6520</S> ceased<S>2308</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, they ceased<S>2308</S>, Until that I Deborah<S>1683</S> arose<S>6965</S>, That I arose<S>6965</S> a mother<S>517</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.

text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Midian<S>4080</S> seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S>.

And the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>3068</S>, Jehovah is with thee<S>1368</S>, thou mighty man of valor<S>2428</S>.

And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>994</S>, Oh, my lord<S>113</S>, if<S>3426</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> is with us<S>4672</S>, why then is all this befallen us<S>6381</S>? and where are all his wondrous works which our fathers<S>1</S> told<S>5608</S> us of<S>559</S>, saying, Did not Jehovah<S>3068</S> bring us up<S>5927</S> from Egypt<S>4714</S>? but now Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath cast<S>5203</S> us off<S>5414</S>, and delivered us into the hand<S>3709</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>.

And Jehovah<S>3068</S> looked<S>6437</S> upon him<S>559</S>, and said, Go<S>3212</S> in this thy might<S>3581</S>, and save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> from the hand<S>3709</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>: have not I sent thee<S>7971</S>?

And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>994</S>, Oh, Lord<S>136</S>, wherewith<S>4100</S> shall I save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S>? behold<S>504</S>, my family is the poorest<S>1800</S> in Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and I am the least<S>6810</S> in my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5221</S>, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites<S>4080</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4672</S>, If now I have found favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, then show<S>6213</S> me a sign<S>226</S> that it is thou that talkest with me<S>1696</S>.

Depart<S>4185</S> not hence<S>935</S>, I pray thee, until I come unto thee<S>3318</S>, and bring forth my present<S>4503</S>, and lay<S>3240</S> it before<S>6440</S> thee<S>559</S>. And he said, I will tarry<S>3427</S> until thou come again<S>7725</S>.

And Gideon<S>1439</S> went in<S>935</S>, and made ready<S>6213</S> a kid<S>5795</S>, and unleavened cakes<S>4682</S> of an ephah<S>374</S> of meal<S>7058</S>: the flesh<S>1320</S> he put<S>7760</S> in a basket<S>5536</S>, and he put<S>7760</S> the broth<S>4839</S> in a pot<S>6517</S>, and brought it out<S>3318</S> unto him under the oak<S>424</S>, and presented it<S>5066</S>.


text:
And the hand<S>3027</S> of Midian<S>4080</S> prevailed<S>5810</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>; and because<S>6440</S> of Midian<S>4080</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> made<S>6213</S> them the dens<S>4492</S> which are in the mountains<S>2022</S>, and the caves<S>4631</S>, and the strongholds<S>4679</S>.

And the angel<S>4397</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3947</S>, Take the flesh<S>1320</S> and the unleavened cakes<S>4682</S>, and lay<S>3240</S> them upon this<S>1975</S> rock<S>5553</S>, and pour out<S>8210</S> the broth<S>4839</S>. And he did so<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> put forth<S>7971</S> the end<S>7097</S> of the staff<S>4938</S> that was in his hand<S>3027</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> the flesh<S>1320</S> and the unleavened cakes<S>4682</S>; and there went up<S>5927</S> fire<S>784</S> out of the rock<S>6697</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the flesh<S>1320</S> and the unleavened cakes<S>4682</S>; and the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> departed<S>1980</S> out of his sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> saw<S>7200</S> that he was the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S>, Alas<S>162</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>! forasmuch<S>3651</S> as I have seen<S>7200</S> the angel<S>4397</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> face<S>6440</S> to face<S>6440</S>.

And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7965</S>, Peace be unto thee<S>3372</S>; fear not<S>4191</S>: thou shalt not die.

Then Gideon<S>1439</S> built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> there unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and called<S>7121</S> it Jehovah-shalom<S>3073</S>: unto this day<S>3117</S> it is yet in Ophrah<S>6084</S> of the Abiezrites<S>33</S>.

And it came to pass the same night<S>3915</S>, that Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3947</S>, Take thy father<S>1</S>'s <S>6499</S> bullock<S>7794</S>, even the second<S>8145</S> bullock<S>7794</S> seven<S>7651</S> years old<S>8141</S>, and throw down<S>2040</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> that thy father<S>1</S> hath<S>3772</S>, and cut down the Asherah that is by it<S>842</S>;

and build<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> upon the top<S>7218</S> of this stronghold<S>4581</S>, in the orderly manner<S>4634</S>, and take<S>3947</S> the second<S>8145</S> bullock<S>6499</S>, and offer<S>5927</S> a burnt-offering<S>5930</S> with the wood<S>6086</S> of the Asherah<S>842</S> which thou shalt cut down<S>3772</S>.


text:
Then Gideon<S>1439</S> took<S>3947</S> ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>, and did<S>6213</S> as Jehovah<S>3068</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> unto him<S>3372</S>: and it came to pass, because he feared his father<S>1</S>'s household<S>1004</S> and the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, so that he could not do<S>6213</S> it by day<S>3119</S>, that he did<S>6213</S> it by night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> arose early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>4196</S>, the altar of Baal<S>1168</S> was broken down<S>5422</S>, and the Asherah<S>842</S> was cut down<S>3772</S> that was by it<S>8145</S>, and the second bullock<S>6499</S> was offered<S>5927</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> that was built<S>1129</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, Who hath done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>? And when they inquired<S>1875</S> and asked<S>1245</S>, they said<S>559</S>, Gideon<S>1439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> hath done<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And so it was<S>3478</S>, when Israel had sown<S>2232</S>, that the Midianites<S>4080</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S>; they came up against them<S>5927</S>;


text:
Then the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S> said<S>559</S> unto Joash<S>3101</S>, Bring out<S>3318</S> thy son<S>1121</S>, that he may die<S>4191</S>, because he hath broken down<S>5422</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, and because he hath cut down<S>3772</S> the Asherah that was by it<S>842</S>.


text:
And Joash<S>3101</S> said<S>559</S> unto all that stood<S>5975</S> against him<S>7378</S>, Will ye contend for Baal<S>1168</S>? Or will ye save<S>3467</S> him<S>7378</S>? he that will contend for him<S>4191</S>, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning<S>1242</S>: if he be a god<S>430</S>, let him contend<S>7378</S> for himself<S>5422</S>, because one hath broken down his altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
Therefore on that day<S>3117</S> he called<S>7121</S> him Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let Baal<S>1168</S> contend<S>7378</S> against him<S>5422</S>, because he hath broken down his altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
Then all the Midianites<S>4080</S> and the Amalekites<S>6002</S> and the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S> assembled<S>622</S> themselves together<S>3162</S>; and they passed over<S>5674</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in the valley<S>6010</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
But the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>3847</S> upon Gideon<S>1439</S>; and he blew<S>8628</S> a trumpet<S>7782</S>; and Abiezer<S>44</S> was gathered<S>2199</S> together after him<S>310</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> throughout all Manasseh<S>4519</S>; and they also were gathered<S>2199</S> together after<S>310</S> him<S>7971</S>: and he sent messengers<S>4397</S> unto Asher<S>836</S>, and unto Zebulun<S>2074</S>, and unto Naphtali<S>5321</S>; and they came up<S>5927</S> to meet them<S>7125</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> unto God<S>430</S>, If thou wilt<S>3426</S> save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> by my hand<S>3027</S>, as thou hast spoken<S>1696</S>,


text:
behold<S>3322</S>, I will put a fleece<S>1492</S> of wool<S>6785</S> on the threshing-floor<S>1637</S>; if there be dew<S>2919</S> on the fleece<S>1492</S> only<S>2721</S>, and it be dry upon all the ground<S>776</S>, then shall I know<S>3045</S> that thou wilt save<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> by my hand<S>3027</S>, as thou hast spoken<S>1696</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>7925</S>; for he rose up early on the morrow<S>4283</S>, and pressed<S>2115</S> the fleece<S>1492</S> together<S>2115</S>, and wrung<S>4680</S> the dew<S>2919</S> out of the fleece<S>1492</S>, a<S>4393</S> bowlful<S>5602</S> of water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> unto God<S>430</S>, Let not thine anger<S>639</S> be kindled<S>2734</S> against me<S>1696</S>, and I will speak but this once<S>6471</S>: let me make trial<S>5254</S>, I pray thee<S>6471</S>, but this once with the fleece<S>1492</S>; let it now be dry<S>2721</S> only upon the fleece<S>1492</S>, and upon all the ground<S>776</S> let there be dew<S>2919</S>.


text:
and they encamped<S>2583</S> against them<S>7843</S>, and destroyed the increase<S>2981</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, till thou come<S>935</S> unto Gaza<S>5804</S>, and left<S>7604</S> no sustenance<S>4241</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, neither sheep<S>7716</S>, nor ox<S>7794</S>, nor ass<S>2543</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> did<S>6213</S> so that night<S>3915</S>: for it was dry<S>2721</S> upon the fleece<S>1492</S> only<S>2919</S>, and there was dew on all the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
For they came up<S>5927</S> with their cattle<S>4735</S> and their tents<S>168</S>; they came<S>935</S> in as<S>1767</S> locusts<S>697</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>; both they and their camels<S>1581</S> were without number<S>4557</S>: and they came<S>935</S> into the land<S>776</S> to destroy it<S>7843</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> was brought very<S>3966</S> low<S>1809</S> because<S>6440</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1121</S>, when the children of Israel<S>3478</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> because<S>182</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>,


text:
that Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> a prophet<S>376</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>559</S>, Thus saith Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I brought you up<S>5927</S> from Egypt<S>4714</S>, and brought you forth<S>3318</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of bondage<S>5650</S>;


text:
and I delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all that oppressed<S>3905</S> you<S>1644</S>, and drove them out from before<S>6440</S> you<S>5414</S>, and gave you their land<S>776</S>;


text:
Then Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, who is Gideon<S>1439</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>7925</S>, rose up early, and encamped<S>2583</S> beside the spring of Harod<S>5878</S>: and the camp<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S> was on the north side<S>6828</S> of them<S>1389</S>, by the hill of Moreh<S>4176</S>, in the valley<S>6010</S>.


text:
But if thou fear<S>3373</S> to go down<S>3381</S>, go<S>3381</S> thou with Purah<S>6513</S> thy servant<S>5288</S> down<S>3381</S> to the camp<S>4264</S>:


text:
and thou shalt hear<S>8085</S> what they say<S>1696</S>; and afterward<S>310</S> shall thy hands<S>3027</S> be strengthened<S>2388</S> to go down<S>3381</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>. Then went he down<S>3381</S> with Purah<S>6513</S> his servant<S>5288</S> unto the outermost<S>7097</S> part of the armed men<S>2571</S> that were in the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And the Midianites<S>4080</S> and the Amalekites<S>6002</S> and all the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S> lay<S>5307</S> along in the valley<S>6010</S> like locusts<S>697</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>; and their camels<S>1581</S> were without number<S>4557</S>, as the sand<S>2344</S> which is upon the sea-shore<S>8193, 3220</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
And when Gideon<S>1439</S> was come<S>935</S>, behold<S>376</S>, there was a man telling<S>5608</S> a dream<S>2472</S> unto his fellow<S>7453</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>2492</S>, I dreamed a dream<S>2472</S>; and<S>6742</S>, lo, a cake of barley<S>8184</S> bread<S>3899</S> tumbled<S>2015</S> into the camp<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, and came<S>935</S> unto the tent<S>168</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> it so that it fell<S>5307</S>, and turned it upside down<S>2015</S>, so that the tent<S>168</S> lay flat<S>5307</S>.


text:
And his fellow<S>7453</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, This is nothing else save the sword<S>2719</S> of Gideon<S>1439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S>, a man<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: into his hand<S>3027</S> God<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> Midian<S>4080</S>, and all the host<S>4264</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>1439</S>, when Gideon heard<S>8085</S> the telling<S>4557</S> of the dream<S>2472</S>, and the interpretation<S>7667</S> thereof<S>7812</S>, that he worshipped; and he returned<S>7725</S> into the camp<S>4264</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> into your hand<S>3027</S> the host<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>.


text:
And he divided<S>2673</S> the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> into three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>, and he put<S>5414</S> into the hands<S>3027</S> of all of them trumpets<S>7782</S>, and empty<S>7386</S> pitchers<S>3537</S>, with torches<S>3940</S> within<S>8432</S> the pitchers<S>3537</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7200</S>, Look on me<S>6213</S>, and do likewise<S>935</S>: and, behold, when I come to the outermost<S>7097</S> part of the camp<S>4264</S>, it shall be that<S>6213</S>, as I do, so shall ye do<S>6213</S>.


text:
When I blow<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S>, I and all that are with me<S>8628</S>, then blow ye the trumpets<S>7782</S> also on every side<S>5439</S> of all the camp<S>4264</S>, and say<S>559</S>, For Jehovah<S>3068</S> and for Gideon<S>1439</S>.


text:
So Gideon<S>1439</S>, and the hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that were with him<S>935</S>, came unto the outermost<S>7097</S> part of the camp<S>4264</S> in the beginning<S>7218</S> of the middle<S>8484</S> watch<S>821</S>, when they had but<S>389</S> newly<S>6965</S> set<S>6965</S> the watch<S>8104</S>: and they blew<S>8628</S> the trumpets<S>7782</S>, and brake<S>5310</S> in pieces the pitchers<S>3537</S> that were in their hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Gideon<S>1439</S>, The people<S>5971</S> that are with thee are too many<S>7227</S> for me to give<S>5414</S> the Midianites<S>4080</S> into their hand<S>3027</S>, lest Israel<S>3478</S> vaunt<S>6286</S> themselves against me<S>559</S>, saying, Mine own hand<S>3027</S> hath saved me<S>3467</S>.


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S> blew<S>8628</S> the trumpets<S>7782</S>, and brake<S>7665</S> the pitchers<S>3537</S>, and held<S>2388</S> the torches<S>3940</S> in their left<S>8040</S> hands<S>3027</S>, and the trumpets<S>7782</S> in their right<S>3225</S> hands<S>3027</S> wherewith to blow<S>8628</S>; and they cried<S>7121</S>, The sword<S>2719</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> and of Gideon<S>1439</S>.


text:
And they stood<S>5975</S> every man<S>376</S> in his place round about<S>5439</S> the camp<S>4264</S>; and all the host<S>4264</S> ran<S>7323</S>; and they shouted<S>7321</S>, and put them to flight<S>5127</S>.


text:
And they blew<S>8628</S> the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> trumpets<S>7782</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> set<S>7760</S> every man<S>376</S>'s sword<S>2719</S> against his fellow<S>7453</S>, and against all the host<S>4264</S>; and the host<S>4264</S> fled<S>5127</S> as far as Beth-shittah<S>1029</S> toward Zererah<S>6888</S>, as far as the border<S>8193</S> of Abel-meholah<S>65</S>, by Tabbath<S>2888</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S> out of Naphtali<S>5321</S>, and out of Asher<S>836</S>, and out of all Manasseh<S>4519</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Midian<S>4080</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> throughout all the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Come down<S>3381</S> against<S>7125</S> Midian<S>4080</S>, and take<S>3920</S> before them the waters<S>4325</S>, as far as Beth-barah<S>1012</S>, even the Jordan<S>3383</S>. So all the men<S>376</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S>, and took<S>3920</S> the waters<S>4325</S> as far as Beth-barah<S>1012</S>, even the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3920</S> the two<S>8147</S> princes<S>8269</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, Oreb<S>6159</S> and Zeeb<S>2062</S>; and they slew<S>2026</S> Oreb<S>6159</S> at the rock<S>6697</S> of Oreb<S>6159</S>, and Zeeb<S>2062</S> they slew<S>2026</S> at the winepress<S>3342</S> of Zeeb<S>2062</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> Midian<S>4080</S>: and they brought<S>935</S> the heads<S>7218</S> of Oreb<S>6159</S> and Zeeb<S>2062</S> to Gideon<S>1439</S> beyond<S>5676</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>4994</S> proclaim<S>7121</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Whosoever is fearful<S>3373</S> and trembling<S>2730</S>, let him return<S>7725</S> and depart<S>6852</S> from mount<S>2022</S> Gilead<S>1568</S>. And there returned<S>7725</S> of the people<S>5971</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> thousand<S>505</S>; and there remained<S>7604</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Gideon<S>1439</S>, The people<S>5971</S> are yet too many<S>7227</S>; bring them down<S>3381</S> unto the water<S>4325</S>, and I will try<S>6884</S> them for thee there<S>559</S>: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee<S>3212</S>, This shall go with thee<S>3212</S>, the same shall go with thee<S>559</S>; and of whomsoever I say unto thee<S>3212</S>, This shall not go with thee<S>3212</S>, the same shall not go.


text:
So he brought down<S>3381</S> the people<S>5971</S> unto the water<S>4325</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Gideon<S>1439</S>, Every one that lappeth<S>3952</S> of the water<S>4325</S> with his tongue<S>3956</S>, as a dog<S>3611</S> lappeth<S>3952</S>, him shalt thou set<S>3322</S> by himself<S>3766</S>; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees<S>1290</S> to drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
And the number<S>4557</S> of them that lapped<S>3952</S>, putting their hand<S>3027</S> to their mouth<S>6310</S>, was three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>: but all the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> bowed down<S>3766</S> upon their knees<S>1290</S> to drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Gideon<S>1439</S>, By the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that lapped<S>3952</S> will I save<S>3467</S> you<S>5414</S>, and deliver the Midianites<S>4080</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>; and let all the people<S>5971</S> go<S>3212</S> every man<S>376</S> unto his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
So the people<S>5971</S> took<S>3947</S> victuals<S>6720</S> in their hand<S>3027</S>, and their trumpets<S>7782</S>; and he sent<S>7971</S> all<S>376</S> the men of Israel<S>3478</S> every man<S>376</S> unto his tent<S>168</S>, but retained<S>2388</S> the three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>: and the camp<S>4264</S> of Midian<S>4080</S> was beneath him in the valley<S>6010</S>.

And it came to pass the same night<S>3915</S>, that Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6965</S>, Arise, get thee down<S>3381</S> into the camp<S>4264</S>; for I have delivered<S>5414</S> it into thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4100</S>, Why hast thou served<S>6213</S> us thus<S>1697</S>, that thou calledst<S>7121</S> us not<S>1980</S>, when thou wentest to fight<S>3898</S> with Midian<S>4080</S>? And they did chide<S>7378</S> with him sharply<S>2394</S>.


text:
Now Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S> were in Karkor<S>7174</S>, and their hosts<S>4264</S> with them<S>2568</S>, about fifteen thousand<S>505</S> men<S>3498</S>, all that were left of all the host<S>4264</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S>; for there fell<S>5307</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> that drew<S>8025</S> sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> went up<S>5927</S> by the way<S>1870</S> of them that dwelt<S>7931</S> in tents<S>168</S> on the east<S>6924</S> of Nobah<S>5025</S> and Jogbehah<S>3011</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the host<S>4264</S>; for the host<S>4264</S> was secure<S>983</S>.


text:
And Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S> fled<S>5127</S>; and he pursued<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> them<S>3920</S>; and he took the two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S>, and discomfited<S>2729</S> all the host<S>4264</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the battle<S>4421</S> from<S>4608</S> the ascent of Heres<S>2775</S>.


text:
And he caught<S>3920</S> a young man<S>5288</S> of the men<S>5288</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S>, and inquired<S>7592</S> of him<S>3789</S>: and he described for him the princes<S>8269</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S> thereof<S>7657</S>, seventy and seven men<S>376</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> unto the men<S>582</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S>, concerning whom ye did taunt<S>2778</S> me<S>559</S>, saying, Are the hands<S>3709</S> of Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S> now in thy hand<S>3027</S>, that we should give<S>5414</S> bread<S>3899</S> unto thy men<S>582</S> that are weary<S>3287</S>?


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the elders<S>2205</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and thorns<S>6975</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S> and briers<S>1303</S>, and with them he taught<S>3045</S> the men<S>582</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S>.


text:
And he brake down<S>5422</S> the tower<S>4026</S> of Penuel<S>6439</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> the men<S>582</S> of the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> he unto Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S>, What<S>375</S> manner of men<S>582</S> were they whom ye slew<S>2026</S> at Tabor<S>8396</S>? And they answered<S>559</S>, As thou<S>3644</S> art<S>259</S>, so were they; each one resembled<S>8389</S> the children<S>1121</S> of a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, They were my brethren<S>251</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of my mother<S>517</S>: as Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, if<S>3863</S> ye had saved them alive<S>2421</S>, I would not slay you<S>2026</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6213</S>, What have I now done in comparison with you<S>5955</S>? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim<S>669</S> better<S>2896</S> than the vintage<S>1210</S> of Abiezer<S>44</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto Jether<S>3500</S> his first-born<S>1060</S>, Up<S>6965</S>, and slay<S>2026</S> them<S>5288</S>. But the youth drew<S>8025</S> not his sword<S>2719</S>; for he feared<S>3372</S>, because he was yet a youth<S>5288</S>.


text:
Then Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S> said<S>559</S>, Rise<S>6965</S> thou<S>6293</S>, and fall upon us<S>376</S>; for as the man is<S>1369</S>, so is his strength. And Gideon<S>1439</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S>, and took<S>3947</S> the crescents<S>7720</S> that were on their camels<S>1581</S>' necks<S>6677</S>.


text:
Then the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Gideon<S>1439</S>, Rule<S>4910</S> thou over us<S>1121</S>, both thou, and thy son, and thy son<S>1121</S>'s son<S>1121</S> also<S>3467</S>; for thou hast saved us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>4910</S>, I will not rule over you<S>1121</S>, neither shall my son rule<S>4910</S> over you<S>3068</S>: Jehovah shall rule over you<S>4910</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7592</S>, I would make a request<S>7596</S> of you<S>5414</S>, that ye would give me every man<S>376</S> the ear-rings<S>5141</S> of his spoil<S>7998</S>. (For they had golden<S>2091</S> ear-rings<S>5141</S>, because they were Ishmaelites<S>3459</S>.)


text:
And they answered<S>559</S>, We will willingly<S>5414</S> give<S>5414</S> them<S>6566</S>. And they spread a garment<S>8071</S>, and did cast<S>7993</S> therein every man<S>376</S> the ear-rings<S>5141</S> of his spoil<S>7998</S>.


text:
And the weight<S>4948</S> of the golden<S>2091</S> ear-rings<S>5141</S> that he requested<S>7592</S> was a thousand<S>505</S> and seven<S>7651</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels of gold<S>2091</S>, besides the crescents<S>7720</S>, and the pendants<S>5188</S>, and the purple<S>713</S> raiment<S>899</S> that was on the kings<S>4428</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, and besides the chains<S>6060</S> that were about their camels<S>1581</S>' necks<S>6677</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> made<S>6213</S> an ephod<S>646</S> thereof<S>3322</S>, and put it in his city<S>5892</S>, even in Ophrah<S>6084</S>: and all Israel<S>3478</S> played the harlot<S>2181</S> after<S>310</S> it there<S>4170</S>; and it became a snare unto Gideon<S>1439</S>, and to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
So Midian<S>4080</S> was subdued<S>3665</S> before<S>6440</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and they lifted up<S>5375</S> their heads<S>7218</S> no more<S>3254</S>. And the land<S>776</S> had rest<S>8252</S> forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Gideon<S>1439</S>.


text:
And Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> went<S>3212</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> in his own house<S>1004</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> into your hand<S>3027</S> the princes<S>8269</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>, Oreb<S>6159</S> and Zeeb<S>2062</S>: and what was I able<S>3201</S> to do<S>6213</S> in comparison with you<S>7307</S>? Then their anger was abated<S>7503</S> toward him<S>1697</S>, when he had said that<S>1696</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> had threescore and ten<S>7657</S> sons<S>1121</S> of his body<S>3409</S> begotten<S>3318</S>; for he had many<S>7227</S> wives<S>802</S>.


text:
And his concubine<S>6370</S> that was in Shechem<S>7927</S>, she also bare<S>3205</S> him a son<S>1121</S>, and he called<S>7760</S> his name<S>8034</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> died<S>4191</S> in a good<S>2896</S> old age<S>7872</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the sepulchre<S>6913</S> of Joash<S>3101</S> his father<S>1</S>, in Ophrah<S>6084</S> of the Abiezrites<S>33</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1439</S>, as soon as Gideon was dead<S>4191</S>, that the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> turned again<S>7725</S>, and played the harlot<S>2181</S> after<S>310</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S>, and made<S>7760</S> Baal-berith<S>1170</S> their god<S>430</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> remembered<S>2142</S> not Jehovah<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, who had delivered<S>5337</S> them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all their enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>;


text:
neither showed<S>6213</S> they kindness<S>2617</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, who is Gideon<S>1439</S>, according to all the goodness<S>2896</S> which he had showed<S>6213</S> unto Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> came<S>935</S> to the Jordan<S>3383</S>, and passed over<S>5674</S>, he<S>7969</S>, and the three hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that were with him<S>5889</S>, faint, yet pursuing<S>7291</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto the men<S>582</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S>, Give<S>5414</S>, I pray you<S>3603</S>, loaves of bread<S>3899</S> unto the people<S>5971</S> that follow<S>7272</S> me<S>5889</S>; for they are faint, and I am pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S>, the kings<S>4428</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>.


text:
And the princes<S>8269</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S> said<S>559</S>, Are the hands<S>3709</S> of Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S> now in thy hand<S>3027</S>, that we should give<S>5414</S> bread<S>3899</S> unto thine army<S>6635</S>?


text:
And Gideon<S>1439</S> said<S>559</S>, Therefore when Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> Zebah<S>2078</S> and Zalmunna<S>6759</S> into my hand<S>3027</S>, then I will tear<S>1758</S> your flesh<S>1320</S> with the thorns<S>6975</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S> and with briers<S>1303</S>.


text:
And he went up<S>5927</S> thence to Penuel<S>6439</S>, and spake<S>1696</S> unto them in like<S>2063</S> manner<S>582</S>; and the men of Penuel<S>6439</S> answered<S>6030</S> him as the men<S>582</S> of Succoth<S>5523</S> had answered<S>6030</S>.


text:
And he spake<S>559</S> also unto the men<S>582</S> of Penuel<S>6439</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When I come again<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, I will break down<S>5422</S> this tower<S>4026</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> went<S>3212</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S> unto his mother<S>517</S>'s brethren<S>251</S>, and spake<S>1696</S> with them<S>4940</S>, and with all the family of the house<S>1004</S> of his mother<S>517</S>'s father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
And the trees<S>6086</S> said<S>559</S> to the fig-tree<S>8384</S>, Come<S>3212</S> thou<S>4427</S>, and reign over us.


text:
But the fig-tree<S>8384</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2308</S>, Should I leave my sweetness<S>4987</S>, and my good<S>2896</S> fruit<S>8570</S>, and go<S>1980</S> to wave<S>5128</S> to and fro over the trees<S>6086</S>?


text:
And the trees<S>6086</S> said<S>559</S> unto the vine<S>1612</S>, Come<S>3212</S> thou<S>4427</S>, and reign over us.


text:
And the vine<S>1612</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2308</S>, Should I leave my new wine<S>8492</S>, which cheereth<S>8055</S> God<S>430</S> and man<S>582</S>, and go<S>1980</S> to wave<S>5128</S> to and fro over the trees<S>6086</S>?


text:
Then said<S>559</S> all the trees<S>6086</S> unto the bramble<S>329</S>, Come<S>3212</S> thou<S>4427</S>, and reign over us.


text:
And the bramble<S>329</S> said<S>559</S> unto the trees<S>6086</S>, If in truth<S>571</S> ye anoint<S>4886</S> me king<S>4428</S> over you<S>935</S>, then come and take refuge<S>2620</S> in my shade<S>6738</S>; and if not<S>784</S>, let fire come out<S>3318</S> of the bramble<S>329</S>, and devour<S>398</S> the cedars<S>730</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>6213</S>, if ye have dealt truly<S>571</S> and uprightly<S>8549</S>, in that ye have made Abimelech<S>40</S> king<S>4427</S>, and if ye have dealt<S>6213</S> well<S>2896</S> with Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> and his house<S>1004</S>, and have done<S>6213</S> unto him according to the deserving<S>1576</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>


text:
(for my father<S>1</S> fought<S>3898</S> for you<S>7993</S>, and adventured his life<S>5315</S>, <S>5048</S> and delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of Midian<S>4080</S>:


text:
and ye are risen up<S>6965</S> against my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> this day<S>3117</S>, and have slain<S>2026</S> his sons<S>1121</S>, threescore and ten<S>7657</S> persons<S>376</S>, upon one<S>259</S> stone<S>68</S>, and have made Abimelech<S>40</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of his maid-servant<S>519</S>, king<S>4427</S> over the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, because he is your brother<S>251</S>);


text:
if ye then have dealt<S>6213</S> truly<S>571</S> and uprightly<S>8549</S> with Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> and with his house<S>1004</S> this day<S>3117</S>, then rejoice<S>8055</S> ye in Abimelech<S>40</S>, and let him also rejoice in you<S>8055</S>:


text:
Speak<S>1696</S>, I pray you<S>241</S>, in the ears of all the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, Whether is better<S>2896</S> for you<S>1121</S>, that all the sons of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, who are threescore and ten<S>7657</S> persons<S>376</S>, rule<S>4910</S> over you<S>259</S>, or that one rule<S>4910</S> over you<S>2142</S>? remember also that I am your bone<S>6106</S> and your flesh<S>1320</S>.


text:
but if not<S>784</S>, let fire come out<S>3318</S> from Abimelech<S>40</S>, and devour<S>398</S> the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of Millo<S>4407</S>; and let fire<S>784</S> come out<S>3318</S> from the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, and from the house<S>1004</S> of Millo<S>4407</S>, and devour<S>398</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And Jotham<S>3147</S> ran away<S>1272</S>, and fled<S>5127</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Beer<S>876</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> there<S>6440</S>, for fear of Abimelech<S>40</S> his brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> was prince<S>7786</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> sent<S>7971</S> an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> between Abimelech<S>40</S> and the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>; and the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> dealt treacherously<S>898</S> with Abimelech<S>40</S>:


text:
that the violence<S>2555</S> done to the threescore and ten<S>7657</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> might come<S>935</S>, and that their blood<S>1818</S> might be laid<S>7760</S> upon Abimelech<S>40</S> their brother<S>251</S>, who slew<S>2026</S> them<S>1167</S>, and upon the men of Shechem<S>7927</S>, who strengthened<S>2388</S> his hands to slay<S>2026</S> his brethren<S>251</S>.


text:
And the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> set<S>7760</S> liers-in<S>693</S>-wait for him on the tops<S>7218</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>, and they robbed<S>1497</S> all that came<S>5674</S> along that way<S>1870</S> by them<S>5046</S>: and it was told Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> came<S>935</S> with his brethren<S>251</S>, and went over<S>5674</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>; and the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> put their trust in him<S>982</S>.


text:
And they went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>, and gathered<S>1219</S> their vineyards<S>3754</S>, and trod<S>1869</S> the grapes<S>6213</S>, and held festival<S>1974</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of their god<S>430</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and cursed<S>7043</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>.

And Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> said<S>559</S>, Who is Abimelech<S>40</S>, and who is Shechem<S>7927</S>, that we should serve<S>5647</S> him<S>1121</S>? is not he the son of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>? and Zebul<S>2083</S> his officer<S>6496</S>? serve<S>5647</S> ye the men<S>582</S> of Hamor<S>2544</S> the father<S>1</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>: but why should we serve him<S>5647</S>?


text:
And would that this people<S>5971</S> were under<S>5414</S> my hand<S>3027</S>! then would I remove<S>5493</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>. And he said<S>559</S> to Abimelech<S>40</S>, Increase<S>7235</S> thine army<S>6635</S>, and come out<S>3318</S>.


text:
And his mother<S>517</S>'s brethren<S>251</S> spake<S>1696</S> of him in the ears<S>241</S> of all the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> all these words<S>1697</S>: and their hearts<S>3820</S> inclined<S>5186</S> to follow<S>310</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>; for they said<S>559</S>, He is our brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And when Zebul<S>2083</S> the ruler<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S> heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S>, his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto Abimelech<S>40</S> craftily<S>8649</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1603</S>, Gaal the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> and his brethren<S>251</S> are come<S>935</S> to Shechem<S>7927</S>; and<S>6696</S>, behold, they constrain the city to take part against thee<S>5892</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>6965</S>, up by night<S>3915</S>, thou and the people<S>5971</S> that are with thee<S>693</S>, and lie in wait in the field<S>7704</S>:


text:
and it shall be<S>1242</S>, that in the morning, as soon as the sun<S>8121</S> is up<S>2224</S>, thou shalt rise early<S>7925</S>, and rush upon the city<S>5892</S>; and<S>5971</S>, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out<S>3318</S> against thee<S>3027</S>, then mayest thou do<S>6213</S> to them as thou<S>3027</S> shalt find occasion<S>4672</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>3915</S>, by night, and they laid wait<S>693</S> against Shechem<S>7927</S> in four<S>702</S> companies<S>7218</S>.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ebed<S>5651</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and Abimelech<S>40</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>3993</S>, from the ambushment.


text:
And when Gaal<S>1603</S> saw<S>7200</S> the people<S>5971</S>, he said<S>559</S> to Zebul<S>2083</S>, Behold<S>3381</S>, there come people<S>5971</S> down<S>3381</S> from the tops<S>7218</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>. And Zebul<S>2083</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7200</S>, Thou seest the shadow<S>6738</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S> as if they were men<S>582</S>.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> spake<S>1696</S> again<S>3254</S> and said<S>559</S>, See<S>3381</S>, there come people<S>5971</S> down<S>3381</S> by the middle<S>2872</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and one company<S>7218</S> cometh<S>935</S> by the way of<S>1870</S> the oak<S>436</S> of<S>1870</S> Meonenim<S>6049</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Zebul<S>2083</S> unto him<S>645</S>, Where is now thy mouth<S>6310</S>, that thou saidst<S>559</S>, Who is Abimelech<S>40</S>, that we should serve<S>5647</S> him<S>5971</S>? is not this the people that thou hast despised<S>3988</S>? go out<S>3318</S> now<S>4994</S>, I pray<S>3898</S>, and fight with them.


text:
And Gaal<S>1603</S> went out<S>3318</S> before<S>6440</S> the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And they gave<S>5414</S> him threescore and ten<S>7657</S> pieces of silver<S>3701</S> out of the house<S>1004</S> of Baal-berith<S>1170</S>, wherewith Abimelech<S>40</S> hired<S>7936</S> vain<S>7386</S> and light<S>6348</S> fellows<S>582</S>, who followed<S>3212</S> him<S>310</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> chased<S>7291</S> him<S>5127</S>, and he fled before<S>6440</S> him<S>5307</S>, and there fell many<S>7227</S> wounded<S>2491</S>, even unto the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> dwelt<S>3427</S> at Arumah<S>725</S>: and Zebul<S>2083</S> drove out<S>1644</S> Gaal<S>1603</S> and his brethren<S>251</S>, that they should not dwell<S>3427</S> in Shechem<S>7927</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S>, that the people<S>5971</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>; and they told<S>5046</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and divided<S>2673</S> them into three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>, and laid wait<S>693</S> in the field<S>7704</S>; and he looked<S>7200</S>, and<S>5971</S>, behold, the people came forth<S>3318</S> out of the city<S>5892</S>; And he rose up<S>6965</S> against them<S>5221</S>, and smote them.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S>, and the companies<S>7218</S> that were with him<S>6584</S>, rushed forward, and stood<S>5975</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of the city<S>5892</S>: and the two<S>8147</S> companies<S>7218</S> rushed upon<S>6584</S> all that were in the field<S>7704</S>, and smote them<S>5221</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> fought<S>3898</S> against the city<S>5892</S> all that day<S>3117</S>; and he took<S>3920</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were therein<S>5422</S>: and he beat down the city<S>5892</S>, and sowed<S>2232</S> it with salt<S>4417</S>.


text:
And when all the men<S>1167</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> heard<S>8085</S> thereof<S>935</S>, they entered into the stronghold<S>6877</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of<S>410</S> El-berith<S>1286</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> that all the men<S>1167</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> gat him up<S>5927</S> to mount<S>2022</S> Zalmon<S>6756</S>, he and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>40</S>; and Abimelech took<S>3947</S> an axe<S>7134</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and cut down<S>3772</S> a bough<S>7754</S> from the trees<S>6086</S>, and took<S>5375</S> it up<S>7760</S>, and laid it on his shoulder<S>7926</S>: and he said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>7200</S>, What ye have seen me do<S>6213</S>, make haste<S>4116</S>, and do<S>6213</S> as I have done<S>3644</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> likewise cut down<S>3772</S> every man<S>376</S> his bough<S>7754</S>, and followed<S>3212</S> Abimelech<S>40</S>, and put<S>7760</S> them to the stronghold<S>6877</S>, and set<S>3341</S> the stronghold<S>6877</S> on fire<S>784</S> upon them<S>582</S>; so that all the men of the tower<S>4026</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> died<S>4191</S> also<S>505</S>, about a thousand men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>.


text:
And he went<S>935</S> unto his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> at Ophrah<S>6084</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> his brethren<S>251</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, being threescore and ten<S>7657</S> persons<S>376</S>, upon one<S>259</S> stone<S>68</S>: but Jotham<S>3147</S> the youngest<S>6996</S> son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S> was left<S>3498</S>; for he hid himself<S>2244</S>.


text:
Then went<S>3212</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> to Thebez<S>8405</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Thebez<S>8405</S>, and took it<S>3920</S>.


text:
But there was a strong<S>5797</S> tower<S>4026</S> within<S>8432</S> the city<S>5892</S>, and thither fled<S>5127</S> all the men<S>582</S> and women<S>802</S>, and all they<S>1167</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and shut<S>5462</S> themselves in<S>5927</S>, and gat them up to the roof<S>1406</S> of the tower<S>4026</S>.


text:
And Abimelech<S>40</S> came<S>935</S> unto the tower<S>4026</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against it<S>5066</S>, and drew near unto the door<S>6607</S> of the tower<S>4026</S> to burn<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And a certain<S>259</S> woman<S>802</S> cast<S>7993</S> an upper<S>6400</S> millstone<S>7393</S> upon Abimelech<S>40</S>'s head<S>7218</S>, and brake<S>7533</S> his skull<S>1538</S>.


text:
Then he called<S>7121</S> hastily<S>4120</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> his armorbearer<S>5375</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8025</S>, Draw thy sword<S>2719</S>, and kill<S>4191</S> me<S>559</S>, that men say not of me<S>802</S>, A woman slew<S>2026</S> him<S>5288</S>. And his young man thrust him through<S>1856</S>, and he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Abimelech<S>40</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, they departed<S>3212</S> every man<S>376</S> unto his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Thus God<S>430</S> requited<S>7725</S> the wickedness<S>7451</S> of Abimelech<S>40</S>, which he did<S>6213</S> unto his father<S>1</S>, in slaying<S>2026</S> his seventy<S>7657</S> brethren<S>251</S>;


text:
and all the wickedness<S>7451</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> did God<S>430</S> requite<S>7725</S> upon their heads<S>7218</S>: and upon them came<S>935</S> the curse<S>7045</S> of Jotham<S>3147</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>1167</S> of Shechem<S>7927</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S>, and all the house<S>1004</S> of Millo<S>4407</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and made<S>4427</S> Abimelech<S>40</S> king<S>4428</S>, by the oak<S>436</S> of the pillar<S>5324</S> that was in Shechem<S>7927</S>.


text:
And when they told<S>5046</S> it to Jotham<S>3147</S>, he went<S>3212</S> and stood<S>5975</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of mount<S>2022</S> Gerizim<S>1630</S>, and lifted up<S>5375</S> his voice<S>6963</S>, and cried<S>7121</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>8085</S>, Hearken unto me<S>1167</S>, ye men of Shechem<S>7927</S>, that God<S>430</S> may hearken unto you<S>8085</S>.


text:
The trees<S>6086</S> went forth<S>1980</S> on a time to anoint<S>4886</S> a king<S>4428</S> over them<S>559</S>; and they said unto the olive-tree<S>2132</S>, Reign thou over us<S>4427</S>.


text:
But the olive-tree<S>2132</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2308</S>, Should I leave my fatness<S>1880</S>, wherewith by me they honor<S>3513</S> God<S>430</S> and man<S>582</S>, and go<S>1980</S> to wave<S>5128</S> to and fro over the trees<S>6086</S>?


text:
And it came to pass in the days<S>3117</S> when the judges<S>8199</S> judged<S>8199</S>, that there was a famine<S>7458</S> in the land<S>776</S>. And a certain man<S>376</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah went<S>3212</S> to sojourn<S>1481</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, he<S>802</S>, and his wife, and his two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto her<S>7725</S>, Nay, but we will return with thee unto thy people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S>, Turn again<S>7725</S>, my daughters<S>1323</S>: why will ye go<S>3212</S> with me<S>1121</S>? have I yet sons in my womb<S>4578</S>, that they may be your husbands<S>582</S>?


text:
Turn again<S>7725</S>, my daughters<S>1323</S>, go<S>3212</S> your way<S>2204</S>; for I am too old to have a husband<S>376</S>. If I should say<S>559</S>, I have<S>3426</S> hope<S>8615</S>, if I should even have a husband<S>376</S> to-night<S>3915</S>, and should also bear<S>3205</S> sons<S>1121</S>;


text:
would ye therefore tarry<S>7663</S> till they<S>3860</S> were grown<S>1431</S>? would ye therefore stay<S>5702</S> from having<S>3860</S> husbands<S>376</S>? nay<S>1323</S>, my daughters, for it grieveth<S>4843</S> me much<S>3966</S> for your sakes<S>3027</S>, for the hand of Jehovah<S>3068</S> is gone forth against me<S>3318</S>.


text:
And they lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept again<S>1058</S>: and Orpah<S>6204</S> kissed<S>5401</S> her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law, but Ruth<S>7327</S> clave unto her<S>1692</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>2994</S>, thy sister-in-law is gone back<S>7725</S> unto her people<S>5971</S>, and unto her god<S>430</S>: return<S>7725</S> thou after<S>310</S> thy sister-in<S>2994</S>-law.


text:
And Ruth<S>7327</S> said<S>559</S>, Entreat<S>6293</S> me not to leave<S>5800</S> thee<S>7725</S>, and to return from following after<S>310</S> thee<S>3212</S>, for whither thou goest, I will go<S>3212</S>; and where thou lodgest<S>3885</S>, I will lodge<S>3885</S>; thy people<S>5971</S> shall be my people<S>5971</S>, and thy God<S>430</S> my God<S>430</S>;


text:
where thou diest<S>4191</S>, will I die<S>4191</S>, and there will I be buried<S>6912</S>: Jehovah<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>4194</S>, if aught but death part thee and me<S>6504</S>.


text:
And when she saw<S>7200</S> that she was stedfastly minded<S>553</S> to go<S>3212</S> with her<S>2308</S>, she left off speaking unto her<S>1696</S>.


text:
So they two<S>8147</S> went<S>3212</S> until they came<S>935</S> to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>. And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when they were come to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>, that all the city<S>5892</S> was moved<S>1949</S> about them<S>559</S>, and the women said, Is this Naomi<S>5281</S>?


text:
And the name<S>8034</S> of the man<S>376</S> was Elimelech<S>458</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of his wife<S>802</S> Naomi<S>5281</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of his two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> Mahlon<S>4248</S> and Chilion<S>3630</S>, Ephrathites<S>673</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah. And they came<S>935</S> into the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and continued there.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7121</S>, Call me not Naomi<S>5281</S>, call<S>7121</S> me Mara<S>4755</S>; for the Almighty<S>7706</S> hath dealt very<S>3966</S> bitterly with me<S>4843</S>.


text:
I went out<S>1980</S> full<S>4392</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath brought me home again<S>7725</S> empty<S>7387</S>; why call<S>7121</S> ye me Naomi<S>5281</S>, seeing Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath testified<S>6030</S> against me<S>7706</S>, and the Almighty hath afflicted me<S>7489</S>?


text:
So Naomi<S>5281</S> returned<S>7725</S>, and Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>, her daughter-in<S>3618</S>-law, with her<S>7725</S>, who returned out of the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and they came<S>935</S> to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S> in the beginning<S>8462</S> of barley<S>8184</S> harvest<S>7105</S>.


text:
And Elimelech<S>458</S>, Naomi<S>5281</S>'s husband<S>376</S>, died<S>4191</S>; and she was left<S>7604</S>, and her two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And they took<S>5375</S> them wives<S>802</S> of the women<S>802</S> of Moab<S>4125</S>; the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Orpah<S>6204</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>8145</S> Ruth<S>7327</S>: and they dwelt<S>3427</S> there about ten<S>6235</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Mahlon<S>4248</S> and Chilion<S>3630</S> died<S>4191</S> both<S>8147</S> of them<S>802</S>; and the woman was left<S>7604</S> of her two<S>8147</S> children<S>3206</S> and of her husband<S>376</S>.

Then she arose<S>6965</S> with her daughters-in<S>3618</S>-law, that she might return<S>7725</S> from the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: for she had heard<S>8085</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S> how that Jehovah<S>3068</S> had visited<S>6485</S> his people<S>5971</S> in giving<S>5414</S> them bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And she went forth<S>3318</S> out of the place<S>4725</S> where she was<S>8147</S>, and her two daughters-in<S>3618</S>-law with her<S>3212</S>; and they went on the way<S>1870</S> to return<S>7725</S> unto the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> unto her two<S>8147</S> daughters-in<S>3618</S>-law, Go<S>3212</S>, return<S>7725</S> each<S>802</S> of you to her mother<S>517</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: Jehovah<S>3068</S> deal<S>6213</S> kindly<S>2617</S> with you<S>6213</S>, as ye have dealt with the dead<S>4191</S>, and with me.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> grant<S>5414</S> you that ye may find<S>4672</S> rest<S>4496</S>, each<S>802</S> of you in the house<S>1004</S> of her husband<S>376</S>. Then she kissed<S>5401</S> them<S>5375</S>, and they lifted up their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> had a kinsman<S>4129</S> of her husband<S>376</S>'s, a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S> of wealth<S>2428</S>, of the family<S>4940</S> of Elimelech<S>458</S>, and his name<S>8034</S> was Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
Then she fell<S>5307</S> on her face<S>6440</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4672</S>, Why have I found favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, that thou shouldest take knowledge<S>5234</S> of me<S>5237</S>, seeing I am a foreigner?


text:
And Boaz<S>1162</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto her<S>5046</S>, It hath fully been showed<S>5046</S> me<S>6213</S>, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in<S>2545</S>-law since<S>310</S> the death<S>4194</S> of thy husband<S>376</S>; and how thou hast left<S>5800</S> thy father<S>1</S> and thy mother<S>517</S>, and the land<S>776</S> of thy nativity<S>4138</S>, and art come<S>3212</S> unto a people<S>5971</S> that thou knewest<S>3045</S> not heretofore<S>8543</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> recompense<S>7999</S> thy work<S>6467</S>, and a full<S>8003</S> reward<S>4909</S> be given thee of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, under whose wings<S>3671</S> thou art come<S>935</S> to take refuge<S>2620</S>.


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, Let me find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, for that thou hast comforted<S>5162</S> me<S>1696</S>, and for that thou hast spoken kindly<S>3820</S> unto thy handmaid<S>8198</S>, though I be not as one<S>259</S> of thy handmaidens<S>8198</S>.


text:
And at meal-time<S>6256</S> Boaz<S>1162</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>5066</S>, Come hither<S>1988</S>, and eat<S>398</S> of the bread<S>3899</S>, and dip<S>2881</S> thy morsel<S>6595</S> in the vinegar<S>2558</S>. And she sat<S>3427</S> beside<S>6654</S> the reapers<S>7114</S>, and they reached<S>6642</S> her parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>398</S>, and she did eat, and was sufficed<S>7646</S>, and left thereof<S>3498</S>.


text:
And when she was risen up<S>6965</S> to glean<S>3950</S>, Boaz<S>1162</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his young men<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let her glean<S>3950</S> even among the sheaves<S>6016</S>, and reproach her not<S>3637</S>.


text:
And also pull<S>7997</S> out some for<S>7997</S> her from the bundles<S>6653</S>, and leave<S>5800</S> it<S>3950</S>, and let her glean, and rebuke her not<S>1605</S>.


text:
So she gleaned<S>3950</S> in the field<S>7704</S> until even<S>6153</S>; and she beat out<S>2251</S> that which she had gleaned<S>3950</S>, and it was about an ephah<S>374</S> of barley<S>8184</S>.


text:
And she took it up<S>5375</S>, and went<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>; and her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law saw<S>7200</S> what she had gleaned<S>3950</S>: and she brought forth<S>3318</S> and gave<S>5414</S> to her that which she had left<S>3498</S> after she was sufficed<S>7648</S>.


text:
And her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3950</S>, Where hast thou gleaned to-day<S>3117</S>? and where<S>375</S> hast thou wrought<S>6213</S>? blessed<S>1288</S> be he that did take knowledge<S>5234</S> of thee<S>5046</S>. And she showed her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law with whom she had wrought<S>6213</S>, and said<S>559</S>, The man<S>376</S>'s name<S>8034</S> with whom I wrought<S>6213</S> to-day<S>3117</S> is Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
And Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S> said<S>559</S> unto Naomi<S>5281</S>, Let me now go<S>3212</S> to the field<S>7704</S>, and glean<S>3950</S> among the ears of grain<S>7641</S> after<S>310</S> him in whose sight<S>5869</S> I shall find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S>. And she said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3212</S>, Go, my daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> unto her daughter-in<S>1288</S>-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, who hath not left off<S>5800</S> his kindness<S>2617</S> to the living<S>2416</S> and to the dead<S>4191</S>. And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>376</S>, The man is nigh of kin<S>7138</S> unto us<S>376</S>, one of our near kinsmen<S>1350</S>.


text:
And Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S> said<S>559</S>, Yea<S>559</S>, he said unto me<S>1692</S>, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men<S>5288</S>, until they have ended<S>3615</S> all my harvest<S>7105</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ruth<S>7327</S> her daughter-in<S>3618</S>-law, It is good<S>2896</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>, that thou go out<S>3318</S> with his maidens<S>5291</S>, and that they meet<S>6293</S> thee not in any other<S>312</S> field<S>7704</S>.


text:
So she kept fast<S>1692</S> by the maidens<S>5291</S> of Boaz<S>1162</S>, to glean<S>3950</S> unto the end<S>3615</S> of barley<S>8184</S> harvest<S>7105</S> and of wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S>; and she dwelt<S>3427</S> with her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law.


text:
And she went<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> and gleaned<S>3950</S> in the field<S>7704</S> after<S>310</S> the reapers<S>7114</S>: and her hap<S>4745</S> was to light<S>7136</S> on the portion<S>2513</S> of the field<S>7704</S> belonging unto Boaz<S>1162</S>, who was of the family<S>4940</S> of Elimelech<S>458</S>.


text:
And<S>1162</S>, behold, Boaz came<S>935</S> from Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the reapers<S>7114</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> be with you<S>559</S>. And they answered him<S>3068</S>, Jehovah bless thee<S>1288</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Boaz<S>1162</S> unto his servant<S>5288</S> that was set<S>5324</S> over the reapers<S>7114</S>, Whose damsel is this<S>5291</S>?


text:
And the servant<S>5288</S> that was set<S>5324</S> over the reapers<S>7114</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, It is the Moabitish<S>4125</S> damsel<S>5291</S> that came back<S>7725</S> with Naomi<S>5281</S> out of the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>:


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Let me glean<S>3950</S>, I pray you<S>622</S>, and gather after<S>310</S> the reapers<S>7114</S> among the sheaves<S>6016</S>. So she came<S>935</S>, and hath continued<S>5975</S> even<S>227</S> from the morning<S>1242</S> until now<S>3427</S>, save that she tarried a little<S>4592</S> in the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Boaz<S>1162</S> unto Ruth<S>7327</S>, Hearest<S>8085</S> thou not<S>1323</S>, my daughter? Go<S>3212</S> not to glean<S>3950</S> in another<S>312</S> field<S>7704</S>, neither pass<S>5674</S> from hence<S>1692</S>, but abide here fast by my maidens<S>5291</S>.


text:
Let thine eyes<S>5869</S> be on the field<S>7704</S> that they do reap<S>7114</S>, and go<S>1980</S> thou after<S>310</S> them<S>6680</S>: have I not charged the young men<S>5288</S> that they shall not touch<S>5060</S> thee<S>6770</S>? and when thou art athirst, go<S>1980</S> unto the vessels<S>3627</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> of that which the young men<S>5288</S> have drawn<S>7579</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law said<S>559</S> unto her<S>1323</S>, My daughter, shall I not seek<S>1245</S> rest<S>4494</S> for thee<S>3190</S>, that it may be well with thee?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be thou of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, my daughter<S>1323</S>: thou hast showed<S>3190</S> more kindness<S>2617</S> in the latter end<S>314</S> than at the beginning<S>7223</S>, inasmuch as thou followedst<S>3212</S> not<S>1115</S> young men<S>970</S>, whether poor<S>1800</S> or rich<S>6223</S>.


text:
And now<S>1323</S>, my daughter, fear<S>3372</S> not<S>6213</S>; I will do to thee all that thou sayest<S>559</S>; for all the city<S>8179</S> of my people<S>5971</S> doth know<S>3045</S> that thou art a worthy<S>2428</S> woman<S>802</S>.


text:
And now it is true<S>551</S> that I am a near kinsman<S>1350</S>; howbeit there is<S>3426</S> a kinsman<S>1350</S> nearer than I<S>7138</S>.


text:
Tarry<S>3885</S> this night<S>3915</S>, and it shall be in the morning<S>1242</S>, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman<S>1350</S>, well<S>2896</S>; let him do the kinsman<S>1350</S>'s part: but if he will<S>2654</S> not do the part of a kinsman<S>1350</S> to thee<S>1350</S>, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee<S>3068</S>, as Jehovah liveth<S>2416</S>: lie down<S>7901</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>.


text:
And she lay<S>7901</S> at his feet<S>4772</S> until the morning<S>1242</S>. And she rose up<S>6965</S> before<S>2958</S> one<S>376</S> could discern<S>5234</S> another<S>7453</S>. For he said<S>559</S>, Let it not be known<S>3045</S> that the woman<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to the threshing-floor<S>1637</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Bring<S>3051</S> the mantle<S>4304</S> that is upon thee<S>270</S>, and hold it<S>270</S>; and she held it<S>4058</S>; and he measured six<S>8337</S> measures of barley<S>8184</S>, and laid<S>7896</S> it on her<S>935</S>: and he went into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And when she came<S>935</S> to her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law, she said<S>559</S>, Who art thou<S>1323</S>, my daughter? And she told<S>559</S> her all that the man<S>376</S> had done to her<S>6213</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, These six<S>8337</S> measures of barley<S>8184</S> gave<S>5414</S> he me<S>559</S>; for he said, Go<S>935</S> not empty<S>7387</S> unto thy mother-in<S>2545</S>-law.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> she<S>3427</S>, Sit still, my daughter<S>1323</S>, until thou know<S>3045</S> how the matter<S>1697</S> will fall<S>5307</S>; for the man<S>376</S> will not rest<S>8252</S>, until<S>518</S> he have finished<S>3615</S> the thing<S>1697</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And now is not Boaz<S>1162</S> our kinsman<S>4130</S>, with whose maidens<S>5291</S> thou wast<S>2219</S>? Behold, he winnoweth barley<S>8184</S> to-night<S>3915</S> in the threshing-floor<S>1637</S>.


text:
Wash<S>7364</S> thyself therefore<S>5480</S>, and anoint thee<S>7760</S>, and put thy raiment<S>8071</S> upon thee<S>3381</S>, and get thee down to the threshing-floor<S>1637</S>, but make not thyself known<S>3045</S> unto the man<S>376</S>, until he shall have done<S>3615</S> eating<S>398</S> and drinking<S>8354</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>7901</S>, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark<S>3045</S> the place<S>4725</S> where he shall lie<S>7901</S>, and thou shalt go in<S>935</S>, and uncover<S>1540</S> his feet<S>4772</S>, and lay thee down<S>7901</S>; and he will tell<S>5046</S> thee what thou shalt do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And she went down<S>3381</S> unto the threshing-floor<S>1637</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according to all that her mother-in<S>2545</S>-law bade her<S>6680</S>.


text:
And when Boaz<S>1162</S> had eaten<S>398</S> and drunk<S>8354</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> was merry<S>3190</S>, he went<S>935</S> to lie down<S>7901</S> at the end<S>7097</S> of the heap of grain<S>6194</S>: and she came<S>935</S> softly<S>3909</S>, and uncovered<S>1540</S> his feet<S>4772</S>, and laid her down<S>7901</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at midnight<S>2677</S>, that the man<S>376</S> was afraid<S>2729</S>, and turned<S>3943</S> himself<S>802</S>; and, behold, a woman lay<S>7901</S> at his feet<S>4772</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Who art thou<S>559</S>? And she answered, I am Ruth<S>7327</S> thy handmaid<S>519</S>: spread<S>6566</S> therefore thy skirt<S>3671</S> over thy handmaid<S>519</S>; for thou art a near kinsman<S>1350</S>.


text:
Now Boaz<S>1162</S> went<S>5927</S> up<S>5927</S> to the gate<S>8179</S>, and sat him down<S>3427</S> there<S>1350</S>: and, behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz<S>1162</S> spake<S>1696</S> came<S>5674</S> by<S>559</S>; unto whom he said, Ho<S>1945</S>, such<S>6423</S> a one<S>492</S>! turn aside<S>5493</S>, sit down<S>3427</S> here<S>5493</S>. And he turned aside, and sat down<S>3427</S>.


text:
Moreover Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of Mahlon<S>4248</S>, have I purchased<S>7069</S> to be my wife<S>802</S>, to raise up<S>6965</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the dead<S>4191</S> upon his inheritance<S>5159</S>, that the name<S>8034</S> of the dead<S>4191</S> be not cut off<S>3772</S> from among<S>5973</S> his brethren<S>251</S>, and from the gate<S>8179</S> of his place<S>4725</S>: ye are witnesses<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> that were in the gate<S>8179</S>, and the elders<S>2205</S>, said<S>559</S>, We are witnesses<S>5707</S>. Jehovah<S>3068</S> make<S>5414</S> the woman<S>802</S> that is come<S>935</S> into thy house<S>1004</S> like Rachel<S>7354</S> and like Leah<S>3812</S>, which two<S>8147</S> did build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and do<S>6213</S> thou worthily<S>2428</S> in Ephrathah<S>672</S>, and be famous<S>7121</S> in Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>:


text:
and let thy house<S>1004</S> be like the house<S>1004</S> of Perez<S>6557</S>, whom Tamar<S>8559</S> bare<S>3205</S> unto Judah<S>3063</S>, of the seed<S>2233</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall give<S>5414</S> thee of this young woman<S>5291</S>.


text:
So Boaz<S>1162</S> took<S>3947</S> Ruth<S>7327</S>, and she became his wife<S>802</S>; and he went in<S>935</S> unto her<S>3068</S>, and Jehovah gave<S>5414</S> her conception<S>2032</S>, and she bare<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the women<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto Naomi<S>5281</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S>, who hath not left<S>7673</S> thee this day<S>3117</S> without a near kinsman<S>1350</S>; and let his name<S>8034</S> be famous<S>7121</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he shall be unto thee a restorer<S>7725</S> of life<S>5315</S>, and a nourisher<S>3557</S> of thine old age<S>7872</S>, for thy daughter-in<S>3618</S>-law, who loveth<S>157</S> thee<S>2896</S>, who is better to thee than seven<S>7651</S> sons<S>1121</S>, hath borne him<S>3205</S>.


text:
And Naomi<S>5281</S> took<S>3947</S> the child<S>3206</S>, and laid<S>7896</S> it in her bosom<S>2436</S>, and became nurse unto it<S>539</S>.


text:
And the women her neighbors<S>7934</S> gave<S>7121</S> it a name<S>8034</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There is a son<S>1121</S> born<S>3205</S> to Naomi<S>5281</S>; and they called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Obed<S>5744</S>: he is the father<S>1</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>, the father<S>1</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Now these are the generations<S>8435</S> of Perez<S>6557</S>: Perez<S>6557</S> begat<S>3205</S> Hezron<S>2696</S>,

and Hezron<S>2696</S> begat<S>3205</S> Ram<S>7410</S>, and Ram<S>7410</S> begat<S>3205</S> Amminadab<S>5992</S>,


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> ten<S>6235</S> men<S>582</S> of the elders<S>2205</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Sit ye down<S>3427</S> here<S>3427</S>. And they sat down.


text:
and Amminadab<S>5992</S> begat<S>3205</S> Nahshon<S>5177</S>, and Nahshon<S>5177</S> begat<S>3205</S> Salmon<S>8009</S>,


text:
and Salmon<S>8012</S> begat<S>3205</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>, and Boaz<S>1162</S> begat<S>3205</S> Obed<S>5744</S>,


text:
and Obed<S>5744</S> begat<S>3205</S> Jesse<S>3448</S>, and Jesse<S>3448</S> begat<S>3205</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto the near kinsman<S>1350</S>, Naomi<S>5281</S>, that is come again<S>7725</S> out of the country<S>7704</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, selleth<S>4376</S> the parcel<S>2513</S> of land<S>7704</S>, which was our brother<S>251</S> Elimelech<S>458</S>'s:


text:
And I thought<S>559</S> to disclose<S>1540</S> it unto thee<S>559</S>, saying, Buy<S>7069</S> it before them<S>3427</S> that sit here<S>2205</S>, and before the elders of my people<S>5971</S>. If thou wilt redeem<S>1350</S> it<S>1350</S>, redeem it<S>1350</S>: but if thou wilt not redeem it<S>5046</S>, then tell me<S>3045</S>, that I may know; for there is none to redeem<S>1350</S> it besides<S>2108</S> thee<S>310</S>; and I am after thee<S>559</S>. And he said, I will redeem it<S>1350</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Boaz<S>1162</S>, What day<S>3117</S> thou buyest<S>7069</S> the field<S>7704</S> of the hand<S>3027</S> of Naomi<S>5281</S>, thou must buy<S>7069</S> it also of Ruth<S>7327</S> the Moabitess<S>4125</S>, the wife<S>802</S> of the dead<S>4191</S>, to raise up<S>6965</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the dead<S>4191</S> upon his inheritance<S>5159</S>.


text:
And the near kinsman<S>1350</S> said<S>559</S>, I cannot<S>3201</S> redeem<S>1350</S> it for myself<S>7843</S>, lest I mar mine own inheritance<S>5159</S>: take<S>1350</S> thou my right<S>1353</S> of redemption on thee<S>3201</S>; for I cannot redeem it<S>1350</S>.


text:
Now this was the custom in former time<S>6440</S> in Israel<S>3478</S> concerning redeeming<S>1353</S> and concerning exchanging<S>8545</S>, to confirm<S>6965</S> all things<S>1697</S>: a man<S>376</S> drew off<S>8025</S> his shoe<S>5275</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it to his neighbor<S>7453</S>; and this was the manner of attestation<S>8584</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
So the near kinsman<S>1350</S> said<S>559</S> unto Boaz<S>1162</S>, Buy<S>7069</S> it for thyself<S>8025</S>. And he drew off his shoe<S>5275</S>.


text:
And Boaz<S>1162</S> said<S>559</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S>, and unto all the people<S>5971</S>, Ye are witnesses<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that I have bought<S>7069</S> all that was Elimelech<S>458</S>'s, and all that was Chilion<S>3630</S>'s and Mahlon<S>4248</S>'s, of the hand<S>3027</S> of Naomi<S>5281</S>.


text:
Now there was a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of Ramathaim-zophim<S>7436</S>, of the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and his name<S>8034</S> was Elkanah<S>511</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroham<S>3395</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Elihu<S>453</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Tohu<S>8459</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Zuph<S>6689</S>, an Ephraimite<S>673</S>:


text:
And she was in bitterness<S>4751</S> of soul<S>5315</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> sore<S>1058</S>.


text:
And she vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, if thou wilt indeed<S>7200</S> look<S>7200</S> on the affliction<S>6040</S> of thy handmaid<S>519</S>, and remember<S>2142</S> me<S>7911</S>, and not forget thy handmaid<S>519</S>, but wilt give<S>5414</S> unto thy handmaid<S>519</S> a man-child<S>582</S>, <S>2233</S> then I will give<S>5414</S> him unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, and there shall no razor<S>4177</S> come<S>5927</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7235</S>, as she continued praying<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that Eli<S>5941</S> marked<S>8104</S> her mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Now Hannah<S>2584</S>, she spake<S>1696</S> in her heart<S>3820</S>; only her lips<S>8193</S> moved<S>5128</S>, but her voice<S>6963</S> was not heard<S>8085</S>: therefore Eli<S>5941</S> thought<S>2803</S> she had been drunken<S>7910</S>.


text:
And Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>7937</S>, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away<S>5493</S> thy wine from thee<S>3196</S>.


text:
And Hannah<S>2584</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, No<S>113</S>, my lord, I am a woman<S>802</S> of a sorrowful<S>7186</S> spirit<S>7307</S>: I have drunk<S>8354</S> neither wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>7941</S>, but I poured out<S>8210</S> my soul<S>5315</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Count<S>5414</S> not thy handmaid<S>519</S> for<S>6440</S> a wicked<S>1100</S> woman<S>1323</S>; for out of the abundance<S>7230</S> of my complaint<S>7879</S> and my provocation<S>3708</S> have I spoken hitherto<S>1696</S>.


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>; and the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> grant<S>5414</S> thy petition<S>7596</S> that thou hast asked of him<S>7592</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Let thy handmaid<S>8198</S> find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>. So the woman<S>802</S> went<S>3212</S> her way<S>1870</S>, and did eat<S>398</S>; and her countenance was no more sad<S>6440</S>.


text:
And they rose up<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> early<S>7925</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to their house<S>1004</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>: and Elkanah<S>511</S> knew<S>3045</S> Hannah<S>2584</S> his wife<S>802</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> remembered her<S>2142</S>.


text:
and he had two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>; the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Hannah<S>2584</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of other<S>8145</S> Peninnah<S>6444</S>: and Peninnah<S>6444</S> had children<S>3206</S>, but Hannah<S>2584</S> had no children<S>3206</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3117</S>, when the time was come<S>8622</S> about<S>2584</S>, that Hannah conceived<S>2029</S>, and bare<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>; and she called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, saying<S>7592</S>, Because I have asked him of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> Elkanah<S>511</S>, and all his house<S>1004</S>, went up<S>5927</S> to offer<S>2076</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and his vow<S>5088</S>.


text:
But Hannah<S>2584</S> went not up<S>5927</S>; for she said<S>559</S> unto her husband<S>376</S>, I will not go up until the child<S>5288</S> be weaned<S>1580</S>; and then I will bring<S>935</S> him<S>7200</S>, that he may appear before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and there abide<S>3427</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6213</S>, Do what seemeth<S>5869</S> thee good<S>2896</S>; tarry<S>3427</S> until thou have weaned<S>1580</S> him<S>3068</S>; only Jehovah establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>. So the woman<S>802</S> tarried<S>3427</S> and gave her son<S>1121</S> suck<S>3243</S>, until she weaned him<S>1580</S>.


text:
And when she had weaned<S>1580</S> him<S>5927</S>, she took him up with her<S>7969</S>, with three bullocks<S>6499</S>, and one<S>259</S> ephah<S>374</S> of meal<S>7058</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him unto the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>: and the child<S>5288</S> was young<S>5288</S>.


text:
And they slew<S>7819</S> the bullock<S>6499</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the child<S>5288</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Oh<S>994</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, as thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, I am the woman<S>802</S> that stood<S>5324</S> by thee here<S>6419</S>, praying unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
For this child<S>5288</S> I prayed<S>6419</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath given<S>5414</S> me my petition<S>7596</S> which I asked of him<S>7592</S>:


text:
therefore also I have granted<S>7592</S> him to Jehovah<S>3068</S>; as long as he liveth<S>3117</S> he is granted<S>7592</S> to Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And he worshipped<S>7812</S> Jehovah there<S>3068</S>.


text:
And this<S>1931</S> man<S>376</S> went up<S>5927</S> out of his city<S>5892</S> from year to year<S>3117</S> to worship<S>7812</S> and to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>. And the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, priests<S>3548</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, were there.


text:
And when the day<S>3117</S> came that Elkanah<S>511</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S>, he gave<S>5414</S> to Peninnah<S>6444</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and to all her sons<S>1121</S> and her daughters<S>1323</S>, portions<S>4490</S>:


text:
but unto Hannah<S>2584</S> he gave<S>5414</S> a<S>259</S> double<S>639</S> portion<S>4490</S>; for he loved<S>157</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>, but Jehovah<S>3068</S> had shut up<S>5462</S> her womb<S>7358</S>.


text:
And her rival<S>6869</S> provoked<S>3707</S> her sore<S>3708</S>, to make her fret<S>7481</S>, because Jehovah<S>3068</S> had shut<S>5462</S> up<S>1157</S> her womb<S>7358</S>.


text:
And as he did<S>6213</S> so year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>, when<S>1767</S> she went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, so she provoked<S>3707</S> her<S>1058</S>; therefore she wept, and did not eat<S>398</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>2584</S>, Hannah, why weepest<S>1058</S> thou<S>398</S>? and why eatest thou not<S>3824</S>? and why is thy heart grieved<S>3415</S>? am not I better<S>2896</S> to thee than ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S>?


text:
So Hannah<S>2584</S> rose up<S>6965</S> after<S>310</S> they had eaten<S>398</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and after<S>310</S> they had drunk<S>8354</S>. Now Eli<S>5941</S> the priest<S>3548</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> upon his seat<S>3678</S> by the door-post<S>4201</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> the vial<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and poured<S>3332</S> it upon his head<S>7218</S>, and kissed<S>5401</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Is it not that Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath anointed<S>4886</S> thee to be prince<S>5057</S> over his inheritance<S>5159</S>?


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> thither to the hill<S>1389</S>, behold<S>2256</S>, a band of prophets<S>5030</S> met<S>7125</S> him<S>7307</S>; and the Spirit of God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily upon him<S>5012</S>, and he prophesied among them<S>8432</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3045</S>, when all that knew him beforetime<S>865</S> saw<S>7200</S> that<S>5012</S>, behold, he prophesied with the prophets<S>5030</S>, then the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, What is this that is come unto the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>? Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?


text:
And one<S>376</S> of the same place answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, And who is their father<S>1</S>? Therefore it became a proverb<S>4912</S>, Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?


text:
And when he had made an end<S>3615</S> of prophesying<S>5012</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S> unto him and to his servant<S>5288</S>, Whither<S>575</S> went<S>1980</S> ye<S>559</S>? And he said, To seek<S>1245</S> the asses<S>860</S>; and when we saw<S>7200</S> that they were not found<S>369</S>, we came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me<S>8050</S>, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you<S>559</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto his uncle<S>1730</S>, He told<S>5046</S> us plainly<S>5046</S> that the asses<S>860</S> were found<S>4672</S>. But concerning the matter<S>1697</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, whereof Samuel<S>8050</S> spake<S>559</S>, he told him not<S>5046</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>6817</S> the people<S>5971</S> together unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> to Mizpah<S>4709</S>;


text:
and he said<S>559</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I brought up<S>5927</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and I delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all the kingdoms<S>4467</S> that oppressed you<S>3905</S>:


text:
but ye have this day<S>3117</S> rejected<S>3988</S> your God<S>430</S>, who himself saveth<S>3467</S> you out of all your calamities<S>7451</S> and your distresses<S>6869</S>; and ye have said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7760</S>, Nay, but set a king<S>4428</S> over us<S>3320</S>. Now therefore present yourselves before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> by your tribes<S>7626</S>, and by your thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
When thou art departed<S>3212</S> from me<S>5978</S> to-day<S>3117</S>, then thou shalt find<S>4672</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> by Rachel<S>7354</S>'s sepulchre<S>6900</S>, in the border<S>1366</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> at Zelzah<S>6766</S>; and they will say<S>559</S> unto thee<S>860</S>, The asses which thou wentest<S>1980</S> to seek<S>1245</S> are found<S>4672</S>; and<S>1</S>, lo, thy father hath left<S>5203</S> off caring<S>1697</S> for the asses<S>860</S>, and is anxious<S>1672</S> for you<S>559</S>, saying, What shall I do<S>6213</S> for my son<S>1121</S>?


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> brought all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> near<S>7126</S>, and the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
And he brought the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> near<S>7126</S> by their families<S>4940</S>; and the family<S>4940</S> of the Matrites<S>4309</S> was taken<S>3920</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> was taken<S>3920</S>: but when they sought<S>1245</S> him<S>4672</S>, he could not be found.


text:
Therefore they asked<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> further<S>376</S>, Is there yet a man to come<S>935</S> hither<S>1988</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> answered<S>559</S>, Behold<S>2244</S>, he hath hid himself among the baggage<S>3627</S>.


text:
And they ran<S>7323</S> and fetched<S>3947</S> him thence<S>3320</S>; and when he stood among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, he was higher<S>1361</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S> from his shoulders<S>7926</S> and upward<S>4605</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, See<S>7200</S> ye him whom Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath chosen<S>977</S>, that there is none like him along all the people<S>5971</S>? And all the people<S>5971</S> shouted<S>7321</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Long live<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>.

Then Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>1696</S> the people<S>5971</S> the manner<S>4941</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, and wrote<S>3789</S> it in a book<S>5612</S>, and laid it up<S>3240</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> sent<S>7971</S> all the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> also went<S>1980</S> to his house<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>; and there went<S>3212</S> with him the host<S>2428</S>, whose hearts<S>3820</S> God<S>430</S> had touched<S>5060</S>.


text:
But certain worthless<S>1100</S> fellows<S>1121</S> said<S>559</S>, How shall this man save<S>3467</S> us<S>959</S>? And they despised him<S>935</S>, and brought him no present<S>4503</S>. But he held his peace<S>2790</S>.


text:
Then shalt thou go on<S>2498</S> forward<S>1973</S> from thence<S>935</S>, and thou shalt come to the oak<S>436</S> of Tabor<S>8396</S>; and there shall meet<S>4672</S> thee there three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S> going up<S>5927</S> to God<S>430</S> to Beth-el<S>1008</S>, one<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> three<S>7969</S> kids<S>1423</S>, and another<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> three<S>7969</S> loaves<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and another<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>:


text:
and they will<S>7592</S> salute<S>7965</S> thee<S>5414</S>, and give thee two<S>8147</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S>, which thou shalt receive<S>3947</S> of their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> that thou shalt come<S>935</S> to the hill<S>1389</S> of God<S>430</S>, where is the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and it shall come to pass<S>935</S>, when thou art come thither to the city<S>5892</S>, that thou shalt meet<S>6293</S> a band<S>2256</S> of prophets<S>5030</S> coming down<S>3381</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> with a psaltery<S>5035</S>, and a timbrel<S>8596</S>, and a pipe<S>2485</S>, and a harp<S>3658</S>, before<S>6440</S> them<S>5012</S>; and they will be prophesying:


text:
and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> will come<S>6743</S> mightily upon thee<S>5012</S>, and thou shalt prophesy with them<S>2015</S>, and shalt be turned into another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And let it be<S>226</S>, when these signs are come<S>935</S> unto thee<S>6213</S>, that thou do as occasion<S>4672</S> shall serve<S>3027</S> thee<S>430</S>; for God is with thee.


text:
And thou shalt go down<S>3381</S> before<S>6440</S> me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and<S>3381</S>, behold, I will come down unto thee<S>5927</S>, to offer burnt-offerings<S>5930</S>, and to sacrifice<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2076</S> of peace-offerings<S>5930</S>: seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> shalt thou tarry<S>3176</S>, till I come<S>935</S> unto thee<S>3045</S>, and show thee what thou shalt do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>6437</S>, that, when he had turned his back<S>7926</S> to go<S>3212</S> from Samuel<S>8050</S>, God<S>430</S> gave<S>2015</S> him another<S>312</S> heart<S>3820</S>: and all those signs<S>226</S> came<S>935</S> to pass that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S>: and all the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> unto Nahash<S>5176</S>, Make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with us<S>5647</S>, and we will serve thee.


text:
Therefore the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S>, To-morrow<S>4279</S> we will come out<S>3318</S> unto you<S>6213</S>, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth<S>5869</S> good unto you<S>2896</S>.


text:
And it was so on the morrow<S>4283</S>, that Saul<S>7586</S> put<S>7760</S> the people<S>5971</S> in three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>; and they came<S>935</S> into the midst<S>8432</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> watch<S>821</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the Ammonites<S>5983</S> until the heat<S>2527</S> of the day<S>3117</S>: and it came to pass<S>7604</S>, that they that remained were scattered<S>6327</S>, so that not two<S>8147</S> of them were left<S>7604</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Who is he that said<S>559</S>, Shall Saul<S>7586</S> reign<S>4427</S> over us<S>5414</S>? bring the men<S>582</S>, that we may put them to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, There shall not a man<S>376</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>; for to-day<S>3117</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath wrought<S>6213</S> deliverance<S>8668</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and renew<S>2318</S> the kingdom there<S>4410</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3212</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they made Saul<S>7586</S> king<S>4427</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they offered<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> of peace-offerings<S>8002</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and there Saul<S>7586</S> and all the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>2063</S>, On this condition will I make<S>3772</S> it with you<S>3225</S>, that all your right eyes<S>5869</S> be put out<S>5365</S>; and I will lay<S>7760</S> it for a reproach<S>2781</S> upon all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7651</S>, Give us seven days<S>3117</S>' respite<S>7503</S>, that we may send<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and then<S>3467</S>, if there be none to save us<S>3318</S>, we will come out to thee.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and spake<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And<S>7586</S>, behold, Saul came<S>935</S> following<S>310</S> the oxen<S>1241</S> out of the field<S>7704</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, What aileth the people<S>5971</S> that they weep<S>1058</S>? And they told<S>5608</S> him the words<S>1697</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily upon Saul<S>7586</S> when he heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S>, and his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> a yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and cut them in pieces<S>5408</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them throughout all the borders<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of messengers<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Whosoever cometh not forth<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and after<S>310</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, so shall it be done<S>6213</S> unto his oxen<S>1241</S>. And the dread<S>6343</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S> on the people<S>5971</S>, and they came out<S>3318</S> as one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And he numbered<S>6485</S> them in Bezek<S>966</S>; and the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto the messengers<S>4397</S> that came<S>935</S>, Thus shall ye say<S>559</S> unto the men<S>376</S> of Jabesh-gilead<S>3003</S>, To-morrow<S>4279</S>, by the time the sun<S>8121</S> is hot<S>2527</S>, ye shall have deliverance<S>8668</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>; and they were glad<S>8055</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto all Israel<S>3478</S>, Behold<S>8085</S>, I have hearkened unto your voice<S>6963</S> in all that ye said<S>559</S> unto me<S>4427</S>, and have made a king over you<S>4428</S>.


text:
And they cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>, because we have forsaken<S>5800</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and have served<S>5647</S> the Baalim<S>1168</S> and the Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>: but now deliver<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and we will serve thee<S>5647</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, and Bedan<S>917</S>, and Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of your enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>; and ye dwelt<S>3427</S> in safety<S>983</S>.


text:
And when ye saw<S>7200</S> that Nahash<S>5176</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> came<S>935</S> against you<S>559</S>, ye said unto me<S>4428</S>, Nay, but a king shall reign<S>4427</S> over us<S>3068</S>; when Jehovah your God<S>430</S> was your king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now therefore behold the king<S>4428</S> whom ye have chosen<S>977</S>, and whom ye have asked<S>7592</S> for<S>3068</S>: and, behold, Jehovah hath set<S>5414</S> a king over you<S>4428</S>.


text:
If ye will fear<S>3372</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him<S>8085</S>, and hearken unto his voice<S>6963</S>, and not rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and both ye and also the king<S>4428</S> that reigneth<S>4427</S> over you be followers<S>310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, well:


text:
but if ye will not hearken<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, but rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, then will the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> be against you<S>1</S>, as it was against your fathers.


text:
Now therefore<S>1571</S> stand<S>3320</S> still and see<S>7200</S> this great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>, which Jehovah<S>3068</S> will do<S>6213</S> before your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Is it not wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> to-day<S>3117</S>? I will call<S>7121</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that he may send<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S>; and ye shall know<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> that your wickedness<S>7451</S> is great<S>7227</S>, which ye have done<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, in asking<S>7592</S> you a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> greatly<S>3966</S> feared<S>3372</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> and Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Pray<S>6419</S> for thy servants<S>5650</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, that we die<S>4191</S> not<S>3254</S>; for we have added unto all our sins<S>2403</S> this evil<S>7451</S>, to ask<S>7592</S> us a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And now<S>4428</S>, behold, the king walketh<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>2204</S>; and I am old and grayheaded<S>7867</S>; and<S>1121</S>, behold, my sons are with you<S>1980</S>: and I have walked before<S>6440</S> you from my youth<S>5271</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, Fear<S>3372</S> not<S>6213</S>; ye have indeed done all this evil<S>7451</S>; yet turn not aside<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, but serve<S>5647</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>:


text:
and turn ye not aside<S>5493</S>; for then would ye go after<S>310</S> vain<S>8414</S> things which cannot profit<S>3276</S> nor deliver<S>5337</S>, for they are vain<S>8414</S>.


text:
For Jehovah<S>3068</S> will not forsake<S>5203</S> his people<S>5971</S> for his great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>'s sake<S>2974</S>, because it hath pleased Jehovah<S>3068</S> to make<S>6213</S> you a people unto himself<S>5971</S>.


text:
Moreover as for me<S>595</S>, far<S>2486</S> be it from me that I should sin<S>2398</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S> in ceasing<S>2308</S> to pray<S>6419</S> for you<S>3384</S>: but I will instruct you in the good<S>2896</S> and the right<S>3477</S> way<S>1870</S>.


text:
Only fear<S>3372</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him in truth<S>571</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>; for consider<S>7200</S> how great things he hath done for you<S>1431</S>.


text:
But if ye shall still<S>7489</S> do wickedly<S>7489</S>, ye shall be consumed<S>5595</S>, both ye and your king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Here I am<S>6030</S>: witness against me before Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and before his anointed<S>4899</S>: whose ox<S>7794</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? or whose ass<S>2543</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? or whom have I defrauded<S>6231</S>? whom have I oppressed<S>7533</S>? or of whose hand<S>3027</S> have I taken a ransom<S>3724</S> to blind<S>5956</S> mine eyes<S>5869</S> therewith<S>7725</S>? and I will restore it you.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, Thou hast not defrauded<S>6231</S> us<S>7533</S>, nor oppressed us<S>3947</S>, neither hast thou taken aught<S>3972</S> of any man<S>376</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3068</S>, Jehovah is witness<S>5707</S> against you<S>4899</S>, and his anointed is witness<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that ye have not found<S>4672</S> aught<S>3972</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>. And they said<S>559</S>, He is witness<S>5707</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, It is Jehovah<S>3068</S> that appointed<S>6213</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, and that brought<S>5927</S> your fathers<S>1</S> up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Now therefore stand still<S>3320</S>, that I may plead<S>8199</S> with you before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> concerning all the righteous acts<S>6666</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, which he did<S>6213</S> to you and to your fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
When Jacob<S>3290</S> was come<S>935</S> into Egypt<S>4714</S>, and your fathers<S>1</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, then Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, who brought forth<S>3318</S> your fathers<S>1</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and made them to dwell<S>3427</S> in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
But they forgat<S>7911</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>; and he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Sisera<S>5516</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S> of Hazor<S>2674</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>; and they fought against them<S>3898</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> was forty years<S>1121</S> old when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and when he had reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
And it came to pass that<S>3615</S>, as soon as he had made an end of offering<S>5927</S> the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>, behold<S>8050</S>, Samuel came<S>935</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>1288</S>, that he might salute him.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, What hast thou done<S>6213</S>? And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Because I saw<S>7200</S> that the people<S>5971</S> were scattered<S>5310</S> from me<S>935</S>, and that thou camest not within the days<S>3117</S> appointed<S>4150</S>, and that the Philistines<S>6430</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S> at Michmash<S>4363</S>;

therefore said<S>559</S> I<S>6430</S>, Now will the Philistines come down<S>3381</S> upon me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and I have not entreated<S>2470</S> the favor of<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>: I forced<S>662</S> myself therefore<S>5927</S>, and offered the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Thou hast done foolishly<S>5528</S>; thou hast not kept<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>, which he commanded<S>6680</S> thee<S>3068</S>: for now would Jehovah have established<S>3559</S> thy kingdom<S>4467</S> upon Israel<S>3478</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
But now thy kingdom<S>4467</S> shall not continue<S>6965</S>: Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath sought<S>1245</S> him a man<S>376</S> after his own heart<S>3824</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath appointed<S>6680</S> him to be prince<S>5057</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, because thou hast not kept<S>8104</S> that which Jehovah<S>3068</S> commanded thee<S>6680</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and gat him up<S>5927</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S> unto Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were present<S>4672</S> with him<S>8337</S>, about six hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>, and Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> that were present<S>4672</S> with them<S>3427</S>, abode in Geba<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: but the Philistines<S>6430</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S>.


text:
And the spoilers<S>7843</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> in three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>: one<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> unto the way<S>1870</S> that leadeth to Ophrah<S>6084</S>, unto the land<S>776</S> of Shual<S>7777</S>;


text:
and another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> the way<S>1870</S> to Beth-horon<S>1032</S>; and another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the border<S>1366</S> that looketh<S>8259</S> down upon the valley<S>1516</S> of Zeboim<S>6650</S> toward the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Now there was no smith<S>2796</S> found<S>4672</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Lest the Hebrews<S>5680</S> make<S>6213</S> them swords<S>2719</S> or spears<S>2595</S>:


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> chose<S>977</S> him three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>, whereof two thousand<S>505</S> were with Saul<S>7586</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S> and in the mount<S>2022</S> of Beth-el<S>1008</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> were with Jonathan<S>3129</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: and the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> he sent<S>7971</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
but all the Israelites<S>3478</S> went down<S>3381</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>, to sharpen<S>3913</S> every man<S>376</S> his share<S>4282</S>, and his coulter<S>855</S>, and his axe<S>7134</S>, and his mattock<S>4281</S>;


text:
yet they had a file<S>6477</S> for the mattocks<S>4281</S>, and for the coulters<S>855</S>, and for the forks<S>7969</S>, and for the axes<S>7134</S>, and to set<S>5324</S> the goads<S>1861</S>.


text:
So it came to pass in the day<S>3117</S> of battle<S>4421</S>, that there was neither sword<S>2719</S> nor spear<S>2595</S> found<S>4672</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of any of the people<S>5971</S> that were with Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3129</S>: but with Saul<S>7586</S> and with Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S> was there found<S>4672</S>.


text:
And the garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went out<S>3318</S> unto the pass<S>4569</S> of Michmash<S>4363</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3129</S> smote<S>5221</S> the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> that was in Geba<S>1387</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>7586</S>. And Saul blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let the Hebrews<S>5680</S> hear<S>8085</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had smitten<S>5221</S> the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and also that Israel<S>3478</S> was had in abomination<S>887</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> were gathered together<S>6817</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> assembled themselves together<S>622</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and people<S>5971</S> as the sand<S>2344</S> which is on the sea-shore<S>3220, 8193</S> in multitude<S>7230</S>: and they came up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S>, eastward<S>6926</S> of Beth-aven<S>1007</S>.


text:
When the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were in a strait<S>6887</S> (for the people<S>5971</S> were distressed<S>5065</S>), then the people<S>5971</S> did hide<S>2244</S> themselves in caves<S>4631</S>, and in thickets<S>2337</S>, and in rocks<S>5553</S>, and in coverts<S>6877</S>, and in pits<S>953</S>.


text:
Now some of the Hebrews<S>5680</S> had gone over<S>5674</S> the Jordan<S>3383</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Gad<S>1410</S> and Gilead<S>1568</S>; but as for Saul<S>7586</S>, he was yet in Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> followed<S>310</S> him trembling<S>2729</S>.


text:
And he tarried<S>3176</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, according to the set time<S>4150</S> that Samuel<S>8050</S> had appointed<S>8050</S>: but Samuel came<S>935</S> not to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> were scattered from him<S>6327</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Bring hither<S>5066</S> the burnt-offering<S>5930</S> to me<S>5930</S>, and the peace-offerings. And he offered<S>5927</S> the burnt-offering<S>5930</S>.


text:
Now it fell upon a day<S>3117</S>, that Jonathan<S>3129</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> that bare<S>5375</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go over<S>5674</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>' garrison<S>4673</S>, that is on yonder side<S>5676</S>. But he told<S>5046</S> not his father<S>1</S>.


text:
But if they say<S>559</S> thus<S>5927</S>, Come up unto us<S>5927</S>; then we will go up; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath delivered<S>5414</S> them into our hand<S>3027</S>: and this shall be the sign unto us<S>226</S>.


text:
And both<S>8147</S> of them disclosed<S>1540</S> themselves unto the garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5680</S>, the Hebrews come forth<S>3318</S> out of the holes<S>2356</S> where they had hid themselves<S>2244</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the garrison<S>4675</S> answered<S>6030</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armorbearer<S>5375</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> to us<S>3045</S>, and we will show you a thing<S>1697</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> said<S>559</S> unto his armorbearer<S>5375</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3068</S>; for Jehovah hath delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3129</S> climbed up<S>5927</S> upon his hands<S>3027</S> and upon his feet<S>7272</S>, and his armorbearer<S>5375</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>: and they fell before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>; and his armorbearer<S>5375</S> slew<S>4191</S> them after him<S>310</S>.


text:
And that first<S>7223</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>, which Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armorbearer<S>5375</S> made<S>5221</S>, was about twenty<S>6242</S> men<S>376</S>, within as it were half<S>2677</S> a furrow<S>6776</S>'s length in an acre<S>4618</S> of land<S>7704</S>.


text:
And there was a trembling<S>2731</S> in the camp<S>4264</S>, in the field<S>7704</S>, and among all the people<S>5971</S>; the garrison<S>4673</S>, and the spoilers<S>7843</S>, they also trembled<S>2729</S>; and the earth<S>776</S> quaked<S>7264</S>: so there was an exceeding great<S>430</S> trembling<S>2731</S>.


text:
And the watchmen<S>6822</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> looked<S>7200</S>; and<S>1995</S>, behold, the multitude melted away<S>4127</S>, and they went<S>3212</S> hither and thither<S>1986</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> unto the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>6485</S>, Number now<S>7200</S>, and see who is gone<S>1980</S> from us<S>6485</S>. And when they had numbered, behold<S>3129</S>, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there<S>5375</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahijah<S>281</S>, Bring hither<S>5066</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>. For the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was there at that time<S>3117</S> with the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7586</S>, while Saul talked<S>1696</S> unto the priest<S>3548</S>, that the tumult<S>1995</S> that was in the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> and increased<S>7227</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the priest<S>3548</S>, Withdraw<S>622</S> thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> abode<S>3427</S> in the uttermost<S>7097</S> part of Gibeah<S>1390</S> under the pomegranate-tree<S>7416</S> which is in Migron<S>4051</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him were about six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>;


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him were gathered<S>2199</S> together<S>935</S>, and came to the battle<S>4421</S>: and<S>376</S>, behold, every man's sword<S>2719</S> was against his fellow<S>7453</S>, and there was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> discomfiture<S>4103</S>.


text:
Now the Hebrews<S>5680</S> that were with the Philistines<S>6430</S> as<S>8032</S> beforetime<S>865</S>, and that went up<S>5927</S> with them into the camp<S>4264</S>, from the country round about<S>5439</S>, even they also turned to be with the Israelites<S>3478</S> that were with Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3129</S>.


text:
Likewise all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that had hid<S>2244</S> themselves in the hill-country<S>2022</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, when they heard<S>8085</S> that the Philistines<S>6430</S> fled<S>5127</S>, even they also followed hard<S>1692</S> after<S>310</S> them in the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
So Jehovah<S>3068</S> saved<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and the battle<S>4421</S> passed over<S>5674</S> by Beth-aven<S>1007</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were distressed<S>5065</S> that day<S>3117</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> had adjured<S>422</S> the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Cursed<S>779</S> be the man<S>376</S> that eateth<S>398</S> any food<S>3899</S> until it be evening<S>6153</S>, and I be avenged<S>5358</S> on mine enemies<S>341</S>. So none of the people<S>5971</S> tasted<S>2938</S> food<S>3899</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>776</S> came<S>935</S> into the forest<S>3293</S>; and there was honey<S>1706</S> upon<S>6440</S> the ground<S>7704</S>.


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> were come<S>935</S> unto the forest<S>3293</S>, behold<S>1706</S>, the honey dropped<S>1982</S>: but no man put<S>5381</S> his hand<S>3027</S> to his mouth<S>6310</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> feared<S>3372</S> the oath<S>7621</S>.


text:
But Jonathan<S>3129</S> heard<S>8085</S> not when his father<S>1</S> charged<S>7650</S> the people<S>5971</S> with the oath<S>7650</S>: wherefore he put forth<S>7971</S> the end<S>7097</S> of the rod<S>4294</S> that was in his hand<S>3027</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> it in the honeycomb<S>3295</S>, and put<S>7725</S> his hand<S>3027</S> to his mouth<S>6310</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were enlightened<S>215</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> one<S>376</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thy father<S>1</S> straitly<S>7650</S> charged<S>7650</S> the people<S>5971</S> with an oath<S>7650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Cursed<S>779</S> be the man<S>376</S> that eateth<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S> this day<S>3117</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> were faint<S>5774</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>, My father<S>1</S> hath troubled<S>5916</S> the land<S>776</S>: see<S>7200</S>, I pray you<S>5869</S>, how mine eyes have been enlightened<S>215</S>, because I tasted<S>2938</S> a little<S>4592</S> of this honey<S>1706</S>.


text:
and Ahijah<S>281</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, Ichabod<S>350</S>'s brother<S>251</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Phinehas<S>6372</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, the priest<S>3548</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, wearing<S>5375</S> an ephod<S>646</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> knew<S>3045</S> not that Jonathan<S>3129</S> was gone<S>1980</S>.


text:
How much more<S>637</S>, if haply<S>3863</S> the people<S>5971</S> had eaten<S>398</S> freely<S>398</S> to-day<S>3117</S> of the spoil<S>7998</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> which they found<S>4672</S>? for now hath there been no great<S>7235</S> slaughter<S>4347</S> among the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And they smote<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> that day<S>3117</S> from Michmash<S>4363</S> to Aijalon<S>357</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> were very<S>3966</S> faint<S>5774</S>;


text:
and the people<S>5971</S> flew<S>5860</S> upon the spoil<S>7998</S>, and took<S>3947</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and oxen<S>1241</S>, and calves<S>1121</S>, and slew<S>7819</S> them on the ground<S>776</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> did eat<S>398</S> them with the blood<S>1818</S>.


text:
Then they told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5971</S>, the people sin<S>2398</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>, in that they eat<S>398</S> with the blood<S>1818</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, ye have dealt treacherously<S>898</S>: roll<S>1556</S> a great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S> unto me this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Disperse<S>6327</S> yourselves among the people<S>5971</S>, and say<S>559</S> unto them<S>5066</S>, Bring me hither every man<S>376</S> his ox<S>7794</S>, and every man<S>376</S> his sheep<S>7716</S>, and slay<S>7819</S> them here<S>398</S>, and eat; and sin<S>2398</S> not against Jehovah<S>3068</S> in eating<S>398</S> with the blood<S>1818</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> brought<S>5066</S> every man<S>376</S> his ox<S>7794</S> with him<S>3027</S> that night<S>3915</S>, and slew them there<S>7819</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>: the same was the first<S>2490</S> altar<S>4196</S> that he built<S>1129</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Let us go down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and take spoil<S>962</S> among them until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, and let us not leave<S>7604</S> a man<S>376</S> of them<S>559</S>. And they said, Do<S>6213</S> whatsoever seemeth<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> unto thee<S>559</S>. Then said the priest<S>3548</S>, Let us draw near<S>7126</S> hither<S>1988</S> unto God<S>430</S>.

And Saul<S>7586</S> asked<S>7592</S> counsel of God<S>430</S>, Shall I go down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? wilt thou deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? But he answered<S>6030</S> him not that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Draw nigh<S>5066</S> hither<S>1988</S>, all ye chiefs<S>6438</S> of the people<S>5971</S>; and know<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> wherein<S>4100</S> this sin<S>2403</S> hath been this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
For<S>3068</S>, as Jehovah liveth<S>2416</S>, who saveth<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, though it be<S>3426</S> in Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S>, he shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>. But there was not a man among all the people<S>5971</S> that answered him<S>6030</S>.


text:
And between the passes<S>4569</S>, by which Jonathan<S>3129</S> sought<S>1245</S> to go over<S>5674</S> unto the Philistines<S>6430</S>' garrison<S>4673</S>, there was a rocky<S>5553</S> crag<S>8127</S> on the one side<S>5676</S>, and a rocky<S>5553</S> crag<S>8127</S> on the other side<S>5676</S>: and the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Bozez<S>949</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>259</S> Seneh<S>5573</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> he unto all Israel<S>3478</S>, Be ye on one<S>259</S> side<S>5676</S>, and I and Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S> will be on the other<S>259</S> side<S>5676</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Do<S>6213</S> what seemeth<S>5869</S> good unto thee<S>2896</S>.


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Show<S>3051</S> the right<S>8549</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> and Saul<S>7586</S> were taken<S>3920</S> by lot<S>5971</S>; but the people escaped<S>3318</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Cast<S>5307</S> lots between me and Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Jonathan<S>3129</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me what thou hast done<S>6213</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, I did certainly<S>2938</S> taste<S>2938</S> a little<S>4592</S> honey<S>1706</S> with the end<S>7097</S> of the rod<S>4294</S> that was in my hand<S>3027</S>; and<S>2009</S>, lo, I must die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> and more also<S>3254</S>; for thou shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, Jonathan<S>3129</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Shall Jonathan<S>3129</S> die<S>4191</S>, who hath wrought<S>6213</S> this great<S>1419</S> salvation<S>3444</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? Far<S>2486</S> from it<S>3068</S>: as Jehovah liveth<S>2416</S>, there shall not one hair<S>8185</S> of his head<S>7218</S> fall<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S>; for he hath wrought<S>6213</S> with God<S>430</S> this day<S>3117</S>. So the people<S>5971</S> rescued<S>6299</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>, that he died not<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> went up<S>5927</S> from following<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> to their own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Now when Saul<S>7586</S> had taken<S>3920</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, he fought<S>3898</S> against all his enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, against Moab<S>4124</S>, and against the children<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and against Edom<S>123</S>, and against the kings<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, and against the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and whithersoever he turned<S>6437</S> himself<S>7561</S>, he put them to the worse.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> valiantly<S>2428</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of the hands<S>3027</S> of them that despoiled them<S>8154</S>.


text:
Now the sons<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> were Jonathan<S>3129</S>, and Ishvi<S>3440</S>, and Malchi-shua<S>4444</S>; and the names<S>8034</S> of his two<S>8147</S> daughters<S>1323</S> were these<S>8034</S>: the name of the first-born<S>1067</S> Merab<S>4764</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the younger<S>6996</S> Michal<S>4324</S>:


text:
The one<S>259</S> crag<S>8127</S> rose up<S>4690</S> on the north<S>6828</S> in front<S>8127</S> of Michmash<S>4363</S>, and the other<S>259</S> on the south<S>5045</S> in front<S>4136</S> of Geba<S>1387</S>.


text:
and the name<S>8034</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s wife<S>802</S> was Ahinoam<S>293</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahimaaz<S>290</S>. And the name<S>8034</S> of the captain<S>8269</S> of his host<S>6635</S> was Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S>.


text:
And Kish<S>7027</S> was the father<S>1</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; and Ner<S>5369</S> the father<S>1</S> of Abner<S>74</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>.


text:
And there was sore<S>2389</S> war<S>4421</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>: and when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> any mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S>, or any valiant<S>2428</S> man<S>1121</S>, he took him unto him<S>622</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> that bare<S>5375</S> his armor<S>3627</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go over<S>5674</S> unto the garrison<S>4673</S> of these uncircumcised<S>6189</S>: it may be that Jehovah<S>3068</S> will work<S>6213</S> for us<S>4622</S>; for there is no restraint to Jehovah<S>3068</S> to save<S>3467</S> by many<S>7227</S> or by few<S>4592</S>.


text:
And his armorbearer<S>5375</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6213</S>, Do all that is in thy heart<S>3824</S>: turn<S>5186</S> thee<S>3824</S>, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Behold<S>5674</S>, we will pass over unto the men<S>582</S>, and we will disclose ourselves unto them<S>1540</S>.


text:
If they say<S>559</S> thus unto us<S>1826</S>, Tarry until we come<S>5060</S> to you<S>5975</S>; then we will stand still in our place<S>5927</S>, and will not go up unto them.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> me to anoint<S>4886</S> thee to be king<S>4428</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, over Israel<S>3478</S>: now therefore hearken<S>8085</S> thou unto the voice<S>6963</S> of the words<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
It repenteth<S>5162</S> me that I have set up<S>4427</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to be king<S>4428</S>; for he is turned back<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>6965</S>, and hath not performed my commandments<S>1697</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> was wroth<S>2734</S>; and he cried<S>2199</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> all night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> rose early<S>7925</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Saul<S>7586</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>; and it was told<S>5046</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, and<S>5324</S>, behold, he set him up a monument<S>3027</S>, and turned<S>5437</S>, and passed on<S>5674</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1288</S>, Blessed be thou of Jehovah<S>3068</S>: I have performed<S>6965</S> the commandment<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, What meaneth then this bleating<S>6963</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S> in mine ears<S>241</S>, and the lowing<S>6963</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S> which I hear<S>8085</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, They have brought<S>935</S> them from the Amalekites<S>6003</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> spared<S>2550</S> the best<S>4315</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S> and of the oxen<S>1241</S>, to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>; and the rest<S>3498</S> we have utterly destroyed<S>2763</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Stay<S>7503</S>, and I will tell<S>5046</S> thee what Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath said<S>1696</S> to me this night<S>3915</S>. And he said<S>1696</S> unto him<S>1696</S>, Say on.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Though thou wast little<S>6996</S> in thine own sight<S>5869</S>, wast thou not made the head<S>7218</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> anointed<S>4886</S> thee king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
and Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> thee on a journey<S>1870</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, and utterly destroy<S>2763</S> the sinners<S>2400</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> against them until they be consumed<S>3615</S>.


text:
Wherefore then didst thou not obey<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, but didst fly<S>5860</S> upon the spoil<S>7998</S>, and didst<S>6213</S> that which was evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>?


text:
Thus saith<S>559</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, I have marked<S>6485</S> that which Amalek<S>6002</S> did<S>6213</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, how he set<S>7760</S> himself against him in the way<S>1870</S>, when he came up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Yea<S>8085</S>, I have obeyed the voice<S>6963</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and have gone<S>3212</S> the way<S>1870</S> which Jehovah<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> me<S>935</S>, and have brought Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and have utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> took<S>3947</S> of the spoil<S>7998</S>, sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S>, the chief<S>7225</S> of the devoted<S>2764</S> things<S>2076</S>, to sacrifice unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> as great delight<S>2656</S> in burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrifices<S>2077</S>, as in obeying<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>? Behold<S>8085</S>, to obey is better<S>2896</S> than sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and to hearken<S>8085</S> than the fat<S>2459</S> of rams<S>352</S>.


text:
For rebellion<S>4805</S> is as the sin<S>2403</S> of witchcraft<S>7081</S>, and stubbornness<S>6484</S> is as idolatry<S>8655</S> and teraphim<S>205</S>. Because thou hast rejected<S>3988</S> the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he hath also rejected<S>3988</S> thee from being king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>; for I have transgressed<S>5674</S> the commandment<S>6310</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and thy words<S>1697</S>, because I feared<S>3372</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and obeyed<S>8085</S> their voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>5375</S>, I pray thee, pardon my sin<S>2403</S>, and turn again<S>7725</S> with me<S>7812</S>, that I may worship Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, I will not return<S>7725</S> with thee<S>3988</S>; for thou hast rejected the word<S>1697</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath rejected<S>3988</S> thee from being king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And as Samuel<S>8050</S> turned about<S>5437</S> to go away<S>3212</S>, Saul laid hold<S>2388</S> upon the skirt<S>3671</S> of his robe<S>4598</S>, and it rent<S>7167</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, Jehovah hath rent<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4468</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from thee this day<S>3117</S>, and hath given<S>5414</S> it to a neighbor<S>7453</S> of thine<S>2896</S>, that is better than thou.


text:
And also the Strength<S>5331</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> will not lie<S>8266</S> nor repent<S>5162</S>; for he is not a man<S>120</S>, that he should repent<S>5162</S>.


text:
Now go<S>3212</S> and smite<S>5221</S> Amalek<S>6002</S>, and utterly destroy<S>2763</S> all that they have<S>2550</S>, and spare them not<S>4191</S>; but slay both man<S>376</S> and woman<S>802</S>, infant<S>5768</S> and suckling<S>3243</S>, ox<S>7794</S> and sheep<S>7716</S>, camel<S>1581</S> and ass<S>2543</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>: yet honor<S>3513</S> me now<S>2205</S>, I pray thee, before the elders of my people<S>5971</S>, and before Israel<S>3478</S>, and turn again<S>7725</S> with me<S>7812</S>, that I may worship Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>.


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> turned again<S>7725</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> worshipped<S>7812</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, Bring ye hither<S>5066</S> to me Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S>. And Agag<S>90</S> came<S>3212</S> unto him cheerfully<S>4574</S>. And Agag<S>90</S> said<S>559</S>, Surely<S>403</S> the bitterness<S>4751</S> of death<S>4194</S> is past<S>5493</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, As thy sword<S>2719</S> hath made women<S>802</S> childless<S>7921</S>, so shall thy mother<S>517</S> be childless<S>7921</S> among women<S>802</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> hewed<S>8158</S> Agag<S>90</S> in pieces<S>8158</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went up<S>5927</S> to his house<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> came no more<S>3254</S> to see<S>7200</S> Saul<S>7586</S> until the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>; for<S>3588</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> mourned<S>56</S> for Saul<S>7586</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> repented<S>5162</S> that he had made Saul<S>7586</S> king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> summoned<S>8085</S> the<S>8085</S> people<S>5971</S>, and numbered<S>6485</S> them in Telaim<S>2923</S>, two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>7273</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S> of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and laid wait<S>7378</S> in the valley<S>5158</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the Kenites<S>7017</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, depart<S>5493</S>, get you down<S>3381</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, lest I destroy<S>622</S> you with them<S>6213</S>; for ye showed kindness<S>2617</S> to all the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>. So the Kenites<S>7017</S> departed<S>5493</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Amalekites<S>6003</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> smote<S>5221</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, from Havilah<S>2341</S> as thou goest<S>935</S> to Shur<S>7793</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> Egypt<S>4714</S>.

And he took<S>8610</S> Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S> alive<S>2416</S>, and utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> all the people<S>5971</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
But Saul<S>7586</S> and the people<S>5971</S> spared<S>2550</S> Agag<S>90</S>, and the best<S>4315</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S>, and of the oxen<S>1241</S>, and of the fatlings<S>4932</S>, and the lambs<S>3733</S>, and all that was good<S>2896</S>, and would<S>14</S> not utterly destroy<S>2763</S> them<S>4399</S>: but everything that was vile<S>5240</S> and refuse<S>4549</S>, that they destroyed utterly<S>2763</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, How long wilt thou mourn<S>56</S> for Saul<S>7586</S>, seeing I have rejected<S>3988</S> him from being king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>? fill<S>4390</S> thy horn<S>7161</S> with oil<S>8081</S>, and go<S>3212</S>: I will send<S>7971</S> thee to Jesse<S>3448</S> the Beth-lehemite<S>1022</S>; for I have provided<S>7200</S> me a king<S>4428</S> among his sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And Jesse<S>3448</S> made seven<S>7651</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> to pass<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath not chosen these<S>977</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, Are here all<S>8552</S> thy children<S>5288</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, There remaineth<S>7604</S> yet the youngest<S>6996</S>, and<S>7462</S>, behold, he is keeping the sheep<S>6629</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, Send<S>7971</S> and fetch<S>3947</S> him<S>5437</S>; for we will not sit down till he come<S>935</S> hither<S>6311</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S>, and brought him in<S>935</S>. Now he was ruddy<S>132</S>, and withal<S>5973</S> of a beautiful<S>3303</S> countenance<S>5869</S>, and goodly<S>2896</S> to<S>7210</S> look upon<S>3068</S>. And Jehovah said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, anoint him<S>4886</S>; for this is he.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> him in the midst<S>7130</S> of his brethren<S>251</S>: and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily upon David<S>1732</S> from that day<S>3117</S> forward<S>4605</S>. So Samuel<S>8050</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
Now the Spirit<S>7307</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> departed<S>5493</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>, and an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from Jehovah<S>3068</S> troubled him<S>1204</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7451</S>, Behold now, an evil spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> troubleth thee<S>1204</S>.


text:
Let our lord<S>113</S> now command<S>559</S> thy servants<S>5650</S>, that are before<S>6440</S> thee<S>1245</S>, to seek out a man<S>376</S> who is a skilful<S>3045</S> player<S>5059</S> on the harp<S>3658</S>: and it shall come to pass<S>7451</S>, when the evil spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> is upon thee<S>5059</S>, that he shall play with his hand<S>3027</S>, and thou shalt be well<S>2895</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Provide<S>7200</S> me now a man<S>376</S> that can play<S>5059</S> well<S>3190</S>, and bring him to me<S>935</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, I have seen a son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> the Beth-lehemite<S>1022</S>, that is skilful<S>3045</S> in playing<S>5059</S>, and a mighty<S>1368</S> man<S>2428</S> of valor<S>376</S>, and a man of war<S>4421</S>, and prudent<S>995</S> in speech<S>1697</S>, and a comely<S>8389</S> person<S>376</S>; and Jehovah is with him<S>3068</S>.


text:
Wherefore Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Send<S>7971</S> me David<S>1732</S> thy son<S>1121</S>, who is with the sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, How can I go<S>3212</S>? if Saul<S>7586</S> hear<S>8085</S> it<S>2026</S>, he will kill me<S>3068</S>. And Jehovah said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> a heifer<S>1241</S> with thee<S>3027</S>, and say<S>559</S>, I am come<S>935</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Jesse<S>3448</S> took<S>3947</S> an ass<S>2543</S> laden with bread<S>3899</S>, and a bottle<S>4997</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and a<S>259</S> kid<S>1423</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them by<S>3027</S> David<S>1732</S> his son<S>1121</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>157</S>: and he loved him greatly<S>3966</S>; and he became his armorbearer<S>5375</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let David<S>1732</S>, I pray thee<S>5975</S>, stand before<S>6440</S> me<S>4672</S>; for he hath found favor<S>2580</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7307</S>, when the evil spirit from God<S>430</S> was upon Saul<S>7586</S>, that David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the harp<S>3658</S>, and played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>: so Saul<S>7586</S> was refreshed<S>7304</S>, and was well<S>2895</S>, and the evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> departed from him<S>5493</S>.


text:
And call<S>7121</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and I will show<S>3045</S> thee what thou shalt do<S>6213</S>: and thou shalt anoint<S>4886</S> unto me him whom I name unto thee<S>559</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> did<S>6213</S> that which Jehovah<S>3068</S> spake<S>1696</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>. And the elders<S>2205</S> of the city<S>5892</S> came<S>7125</S> to meet him trembling<S>2729</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Comest<S>935</S> thou peaceably<S>7965</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Peaceably<S>7965</S>; I am come<S>935</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>: sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves<S>935</S>, and come with me to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>. And he sanctified<S>6942</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> and his sons<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> them to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when they were come, that he looked<S>7200</S> on Eliab<S>446</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Surely Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed is before him<S>4899</S>.


text:
But Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Look<S>5027</S> not on his countenance<S>4758</S>, or on the height<S>1364</S> of his stature<S>6967</S>; because I have rejected<S>3988</S> him<S>120</S>: for Jehovah seeth not as man seeth<S>7200</S>; for man<S>120</S> looketh<S>7200</S> on the outward appearance<S>5869</S>, but Jehovah<S>3068</S> looketh<S>7200</S> on the heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Then Jesse<S>3448</S> called<S>7121</S> Abinadab<S>41</S>, and made him pass<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Neither hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> chosen this<S>977</S>.


text:
Then Jesse<S>3448</S> made Shammah<S>8048</S> to pass by<S>5674</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Neither hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> chosen this<S>977</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered together<S>622</S> their armies<S>4264</S> to battle<S>4421</S>; and they were gathered together<S>622</S> at Socoh<S>7755</S>, which belongeth to Judah<S>3063</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> between Socoh<S>7755</S> and Azekah<S>5825</S>, in Ephes-dammim<S>658</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, I defy<S>2778</S> the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> this day<S>3117</S>; give<S>5414</S> me a man<S>376</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, they were dismayed<S>2865</S>, and greatly<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of that Ephrathite<S>376</S> of Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>-judah, whose name<S>8034</S> was Jesse<S>3448</S>; and he had eight<S>8083</S> sons<S>1121</S>: and the man<S>376</S> was<S>935</S> an old man<S>2204</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, stricken in years among men<S>582</S>.


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> eldest<S>1419</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> had gone<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to the battle<S>4421</S>: and the names<S>8034</S> of his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> that went<S>1980</S> to the battle<S>4421</S> were Eliab<S>446</S> the first-born<S>1060</S>, and next<S>4932</S> unto him Abinadab<S>41</S>, and the third<S>7992</S> Shammah<S>8048</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was the youngest<S>6996</S>; and the three<S>7969</S> eldest<S>1419</S> followed<S>1980</S> Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> went<S>1980</S> to and fro<S>7725</S> from Saul<S>7586</S> to feed<S>7462</S> his father<S>1</S>'s sheep<S>6629</S> at Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> morning<S>7925</S> and evening<S>6150</S>, and presented<S>3320</S> himself forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Jesse<S>3448</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S> his son<S>1121</S>, Take<S>3947</S> now for thy brethren<S>251</S> an ephah<S>374</S> of this<S>2088</S> parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>6235</S>, and these ten loaves<S>3899</S>, and carry<S>7323</S> them quickly to the camp<S>4264</S> to thy brethren<S>251</S>;


text:
and bring<S>935</S> these ten<S>6235</S> cheeses<S>2461</S> unto the captain<S>8269</S> of their thousand<S>505</S>, and look<S>6485</S> how thy brethren<S>251</S> fare<S>7965</S>, and take<S>3947</S> their pledge<S>6161</S>.


text:
Now Saul<S>7586</S>, and they<S>376</S>, and all the men of Israel<S>3478</S>, were in the vale<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, fighting<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> and the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>622</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> in the vale<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, and set the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> rose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and left<S>5203</S> the sheep<S>6629</S> with a keeper<S>8104</S>, and took<S>5375</S>, and went<S>3212</S>, as Jesse<S>3448</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> him<S>935</S>; and he came to the place<S>4570</S> of the wagons<S>2428</S>, as the host which was going forth<S>3318</S> to the fight<S>4634</S> shouted<S>7321</S> for the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And Israel<S>3478</S> and the Philistines<S>6430</S> put the battle in array<S>6186</S>, army<S>4634</S> against<S>7125</S> army<S>4634</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> left<S>5203</S> his baggage<S>3627</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of the keeper<S>8104</S> of the baggage<S>3627</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> to the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> and saluted<S>7592</S> his brethren<S>251</S>.


text:
And as he talked<S>1696</S> with them<S>5927</S>, behold, there came up the champion<S>376</S>, the Philistine<S>6430</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>, Goliath<S>1555</S> by name<S>8034</S>, out of the ranks<S>4634</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and spake<S>1696</S> according to the same<S>428</S> words<S>1697</S>: and David<S>1732</S> heard them<S>8085</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they saw<S>7200</S> the man<S>376</S>, fled<S>5127</S> from him<S>6440</S>, and were sore<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Have ye seen<S>7200</S> this man<S>376</S> that is come up<S>5927</S>? surely to defy<S>2778</S> Israel<S>3478</S> is he come up<S>5927</S>: and it shall be<S>376</S>, that the man who killeth<S>5221</S> him<S>4428</S>, the king will enrich<S>6238</S> him with great<S>1419</S> riches<S>6239</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> him his daughter<S>1323</S>, and make<S>6213</S> his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> free<S>2670</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> spake<S>559</S> to the men<S>582</S> that stood<S>5975</S> by him<S>559</S>, saying, What shall be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> that killeth<S>5221</S> this<S>1975</S> Philistine<S>6430</S>, and taketh away<S>5493</S> the reproach<S>2781</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>? for who is this uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistine<S>6430</S>, that he should defy<S>2778</S> the armies<S>4634</S> of the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>?


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>559</S> him after this manner<S>1697</S>, saying<S>559</S>, So shall it be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> that killeth him<S>5221</S>.


text:
And Eliab<S>446</S> his eldest<S>1419</S> brother<S>251</S> heard<S>8085</S> when he spake<S>1696</S> unto the men<S>582</S>; and Eliab<S>446</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against David<S>1732</S>, and he said<S>559</S>, Why art thou come down<S>3381</S>? and with whom hast thou left<S>5203</S> those<S>2007</S> few<S>4592</S> sheep<S>6629</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>? I know<S>3045</S> thy pride<S>2087</S>, and the naughtiness<S>7455</S> of thy heart<S>3824</S>; for thou art come down<S>3381</S> that thou mightest see<S>7200</S> the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, What have I now done<S>6213</S>? Is there not a cause<S>1697</S>?


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> stood<S>5975</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S> on the one side<S>3478</S>, and Israel stood<S>5975</S> on the mountain<S>2022</S> on the other side<S>1516</S>: and there was a valley between them.


text:
And he turned<S>5437</S> away from him<S>681</S> toward<S>4136</S> another<S>312</S>, and spake<S>559</S> after the same manner<S>1697</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>1697</S> him again<S>7725</S> after the former<S>7223</S> manner<S>1697</S>.


text:
And when the words<S>1697</S> were heard<S>8085</S> which David<S>1732</S> spake<S>1696</S>, they rehearsed<S>5046</S> them before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>; and he sent for him<S>3947</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Let no man<S>120</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> fail<S>5307</S> because of him<S>5650</S>; thy servant will go<S>3212</S> and fight<S>3898</S> with this Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Thou art not able<S>3201</S> to go<S>3212</S> against this Philistine<S>6430</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with him<S>5288</S>; for thou art but a youth, and he a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S> from his youth<S>5271</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Thy servant<S>5650</S> was keeping<S>7462</S> his father<S>1</S>'s sheep<S>6629</S>; and when there came<S>935</S> a lion<S>738</S>, or a bear<S>1677</S>, and took<S>5375</S> a lamb<S>7716</S> out of the flock<S>5739</S>,

I went out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5221</S>, and smote him<S>5337</S>, and delivered it out of his mouth<S>6310</S>; and when he arose<S>6965</S> against me<S>2388</S>, I caught him by his beard<S>2206</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and slew him.


text:
Thy servant<S>5650</S> smote<S>5221</S> both the lion<S>738</S> and the bear<S>1677</S>: and this uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistine<S>6430</S> shall be as one<S>259</S> of them<S>2778</S>, seeing he hath defied the armies<S>4634</S> of the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> that delivered<S>5337</S> me out of the paw<S>3027</S> of the lion<S>738</S>, and out of the paw<S>3027</S> of the bear<S>1677</S>, he will deliver<S>5337</S> me out of the hand<S>3027</S> of this Philistine<S>6430</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, and Jehovah shall be with thee<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> clad<S>3847</S> David<S>1732</S> with his apparel<S>4055</S>, and he put<S>5414</S> a helmet<S>6959</S> of brass<S>5178</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>, and he clad<S>3847</S> him with a coat of mail<S>8302</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> girded<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S> upon his apparel<S>4055</S>, and he assayed<S>2974</S> to go<S>3212</S>; for he had not proved<S>5254</S> it<S>1732</S>. And David said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, I cannot<S>3201</S> go<S>3212</S> with these<S>5254</S>; for I have not proved them<S>1732</S>. And David put them off him<S>5493</S>.


text:
And there went out<S>3318</S> a champion<S>376</S> out of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, named<S>8034</S> Goliath<S>1555</S>, of Gath<S>1661</S>, whose height<S>1363</S> was six<S>8337</S> cubits<S>520</S> and a span<S>2239</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> his staff<S>4731</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and chose<S>977</S> him five<S>2568</S> smooth<S>2512</S> stones<S>68</S> out of the brook<S>5158</S>, and put<S>7760</S> them in the shepherd<S>7462</S>'s bag<S>3627</S> which he had<S>3219</S>, even in his wallet; and his sling<S>7050</S> was in his hand<S>3027</S>: and he drew near<S>5066</S> to the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> came<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> and drew near<S>7131</S> unto David<S>1732</S>; and the man<S>376</S> that bare<S>5375</S> the shield<S>6793</S> went before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when the Philistine<S>6430</S> looked about<S>5027</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, he disdained<S>959</S> him<S>5288</S>; for he was but a youth, and ruddy<S>132</S>, and withal of a fair<S>3303</S> countenance<S>4758</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Am I a dog<S>3611</S>, that thou comest<S>935</S> to me with staves<S>4731</S>? And the Philistine<S>6430</S> cursed<S>7043</S> David<S>1732</S> by his gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Come<S>3212</S> to me<S>5414</S>, and I will give thy flesh<S>1320</S> unto the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S>, and to the beasts<S>929</S> of the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S> to the Philistine<S>6430</S>, Thou comest<S>935</S> to me with a sword<S>2719</S>, and with a spear<S>2595</S>, and with a javelin<S>3591</S>: but I come<S>935</S> to thee in the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, the God<S>430</S> of the armies<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, whom thou hast defied<S>2778</S>.


text:
This day<S>3117</S> will Jehovah<S>3068</S> deliver<S>5462</S> thee into my hand<S>3027</S>; and I will smite<S>5221</S> thee<S>5493</S>, and take thy head<S>7218</S> from off thee<S>5414</S>; and I will give the dead bodies<S>6297</S> of the host<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> this day<S>3117</S> unto the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S>, and to the wild beasts<S>2416</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; that all the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> that there is<S>3426</S> a God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
and that all this assembly<S>6951</S> may know<S>3045</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> saveth<S>3467</S> not with sword<S>2719</S> and spear<S>2595</S>: for the battle<S>4421</S> is Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s, and he will give<S>5414</S> you into our hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>6430</S>, when the Philistine arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>3212</S> and drew nigh<S>7126</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, that David<S>1732</S> hastened<S>4116</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> toward the army<S>4634</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> put<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> in his bag<S>3627</S>, and took<S>3947</S> thence a stone<S>68</S>, and slang<S>7049</S> it<S>5221</S>, and smote the Philistine<S>6430</S> in his forehead<S>4696</S>; and the stone<S>68</S> sank<S>2883</S> into his forehead<S>4696</S>, and he fell<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And he had a helmet<S>3553</S> of brass<S>5178</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>, and he was clad<S>3847</S> with a coat<S>8302</S> of mail<S>7193</S>; and the weight<S>4948</S> of the coat<S>8302</S> was five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> over<S>4480</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S> with a sling<S>7050</S> and with a stone<S>68</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and slew<S>4191</S> him<S>2719</S>; but there was no sword in the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> ran<S>7323</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> over the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and took<S>3947</S> his sword<S>2719</S>, and drew<S>8025</S> it out of the sheath<S>8593</S> thereof<S>4191</S>, and slew him<S>3772</S>, and cut off his head<S>7218</S> therewith<S>6430</S>. And when the Philistines saw<S>7200</S> that their champion<S>1368</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, they fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and of Judah<S>3063</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and shouted<S>7321</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, until thou comest<S>935</S> to Gai<S>1516</S>, and to the gates<S>8179</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>. And the wounded<S>2491</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> fell down<S>5307</S> by the way<S>1870</S> to Shaaraim<S>8189</S>, even unto Gath<S>1661</S>, and unto Ekron<S>6138</S>.


text:
And the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> returned<S>7725</S> from chasing<S>1814</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and they plundered<S>8155</S> their camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the head<S>7218</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; but he put<S>7760</S> his armor<S>3627</S> in his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S> go forth<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, he said<S>559</S> unto Abner<S>74</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the host<S>6635</S>, Abner<S>74</S>, whose son<S>1121</S> is this youth<S>5288</S>? And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S>, As thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, I cannot<S>518</S> tell<S>3045</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Inquire<S>7592</S> thou whose son<S>1121</S> the stripling is<S>5958</S>.


text:
And as David<S>1732</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, Abner<S>74</S> took<S>3947</S> him<S>935</S>, and brought him before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S> with the head<S>7218</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1121</S>, Whose son art thou<S>5288</S>, thou young man? And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>559</S>, I am the son<S>1121</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> the Beth-lehemite<S>1022</S>.


text:
And he had greaves<S>4697</S> of brass<S>5178</S> upon his legs<S>7272</S>, and a javelin<S>3591</S> of brass<S>5178</S> between his shoulders<S>3802</S>.


text:
And the staff<S>6086</S> of his spear<S>2595</S> was like a weaver<S>707</S>'s beam<S>4500</S>; and his spear<S>2595</S>'s head<S>3852</S> weighed six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of iron<S>1270</S>: and his shield-bearer<S>6793, 5375</S> went<S>1980</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he stood<S>5975</S> and cried<S>7121</S> unto the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3318</S>, Why are ye come out to set your battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S>? am not I a Philistine<S>6430</S>, and ye servants<S>5650</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>? choose<S>1262</S> you a man<S>376</S> for you<S>3381</S>, and let him come down to me.


text:
If he be able<S>3201</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with me<S>5221</S>, and kill me<S>5650</S>, then will we be your servants; but if I prevail<S>3201</S> against him<S>5221</S>, and kill him<S>5650</S>, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us<S>5647</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, when he had made an end of speaking<S>1696</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, that the soul<S>5315</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> was knit<S>7194</S> with the soul<S>5315</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> loved<S>157</S> him as his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S>, that an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> mightily upon Saul<S>7586</S>, and he prophesied<S>5012</S> in the midst<S>8432</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and David<S>1732</S> played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>, as he did day by day<S>3117</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> had his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>;


text:
and Saul<S>7586</S> cast<S>2904</S> the spear<S>2595</S>; for he said<S>559</S>, I will smite<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S> even to the wall<S>7023</S>. And David<S>1732</S> avoided out<S>5437</S> of his presence<S>6440</S> twice<S>6471</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> was afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S>, because Jehovah<S>3068</S> was with him<S>5493</S>, and was departed from Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> removed<S>5493</S> him from him<S>7760</S>, and made him his captain<S>8269</S> over a thousand<S>505</S>; and he went out<S>3318</S> and came in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> behaved himself wisely<S>7919</S> in all his ways<S>1870</S>; and Jehovah was with him<S>3068</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> that he behaved<S>7919</S> himself very<S>3966</S> wisely<S>7919</S>, he stood in awe<S>1481</S> of him<S>6440</S>.


text:
But all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S> loved<S>157</S> David<S>1732</S>; for he went out<S>3318</S> and came in<S>935</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Behold<S>1419</S>, my elder daughter<S>1323</S> Merab<S>4764</S>, her will I give<S>5414</S> thee to wife<S>802</S>: only be thou valiant<S>1121</S> for me<S>3898</S>, and fight Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s battles<S>4421</S>. For Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Let not my hand<S>3027</S> be upon him<S>3027</S>, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Who am I<S>2416</S>, and what is my life, or my father<S>1</S>'s family<S>4940</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, that I should be son-in<S>2860</S>-law to the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
But it came to pass at the time<S>6256</S> when Merab<S>4764</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, should have been given<S>5414</S> to David<S>1732</S>, that she was given<S>5414</S> unto Adriel<S>5741</S> the Meholathite<S>4259</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> him that day<S>3117</S>, and would let<S>5414</S> him go no more home<S>7725</S> to his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Michal<S>4324</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, loved<S>157</S> David<S>1732</S>: and they told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and the thing<S>1697</S> pleased him<S>3474</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> him her<S>4170</S>, that she may be a snare to him<S>3027</S>, and that the hand of the Philistines<S>6430</S> may be against him<S>7586</S>. Wherefore Saul said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Thou shalt this day<S>3117</S> be my son-in<S>2859</S>-law a second time<S>8147</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, saying<S>1696</S>, Commune with David<S>1732</S> secretly<S>3909</S>, and say<S>559</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king hath delight<S>2654</S> in thee<S>5650</S>, and all his servants love<S>157</S> thee<S>4428</S>: now therefore be the king's son-in<S>2859</S>-law.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> spake<S>1696</S> those words<S>1697</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Seemeth<S>5869</S> it to you a light<S>7043</S> thing to be the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2859</S>-law, seeing that I am a poor<S>7326</S> man<S>376</S>, and lightly esteemed<S>7034</S>?


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, On this manner<S>1697</S> spake<S>1696</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Thus shall ye say<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, The king<S>4428</S> desireth<S>2656</S> not any dowry<S>4119</S>, but a hundred<S>3967</S> foreskins<S>6190</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, to be avenged<S>5358</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s enemies<S>341</S>. Now Saul<S>7586</S> thought<S>2803</S> to make David<S>1732</S> fall<S>5307</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And when his servants<S>5650</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> these words<S>1697</S>, it pleased<S>1697</S> David<S>1732</S> well to be the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2859</S>-law. And the days<S>3117</S> were not expired<S>4390</S>;


text:
and David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; and David<S>1732</S> brought<S>935</S> their foreskins<S>6190</S>, and they gave them in full number<S>4390</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, that he might be the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2859</S>-law. And Saul<S>7586</S> gave<S>5414</S> him Michal<S>4324</S> his daughter<S>1323</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> and knew<S>3045</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> was with David<S>1732</S>; and Michal<S>4324</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, loved him<S>157</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> was yet the more<S>3254</S> afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> was David<S>1732</S>'s enemy<S>341</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> and David<S>1732</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S>, because he loved<S>160</S> him as his own soul<S>5315</S>.

Then the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went forth<S>3318</S>: and it came to pass<S>1767</S>, as often as they went forth<S>3318</S>, that David<S>1732</S> behaved himself more wisely<S>7919</S> than all the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; so that his name<S>8034</S> was much<S>3966</S> set by<S>3365</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> stripped<S>6584</S> himself of the robe<S>4598</S> that was upon him<S>5414</S>, and gave it to David<S>1732</S>, and his apparel<S>4055</S>, even to his sword<S>2719</S>, and to his bow<S>7198</S>, and to his girdle<S>2289</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went out<S>3318</S> whithersoever Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> him<S>7919</S>, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul<S>7586</S> set<S>7760</S> him over the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and it was good<S>3190</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all the people<S>5971</S>, and also in the sight<S>5869</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And it came to pass as they came<S>935</S>, when David<S>1732</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, that the women<S>802</S> came out<S>3318</S> of all the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, singing<S>7891</S> and dancing<S>4246</S>, to meet<S>7125</S> king<S>4428</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, with timbrels<S>8596</S>, with joy<S>8057</S>, and with instruments of music<S>7991</S>.


text:
And the women<S>802</S> sang<S>6030</S> one to another as they played<S>7832</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> hath slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, And David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> was very<S>3966</S> wroth<S>2734</S>, and this saying<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> him<S>559</S>; and he said, They have ascribed<S>5414</S> unto David<S>1732</S> ten thousands<S>7233</S>, and to me they have ascribed<S>5414</S> but thousands<S>505</S>: and what can he have more but the kingdom<S>4410</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> eyed<S>5770</S> David<S>1732</S> from that day<S>3117</S> and forward<S>1973</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> spake<S>1696</S> to Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and to all his servants<S>5650</S>, that they should slay<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S>. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sought<S>1245</S> to smite<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S> even to the wall<S>7023</S> with the spear<S>2595</S>; but he slipped away<S>6362</S> out of Saul<S>7586</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, and he smote<S>5221</S> the spear<S>2595</S> into the wall<S>7023</S>: and David<S>1732</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S> that night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto David<S>1732</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, to watch<S>8104</S> him<S>4191</S>, and to slay him in the morning<S>1242</S>: and Michal<S>4324</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, If thou save<S>4422</S> not thy life<S>5315</S> to-night<S>3915</S>, to-morrow<S>4279</S> thou wilt be slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Michal<S>4324</S> let<S>3381</S> David<S>1732</S> down<S>3381</S> through the window<S>2474</S>: and he went<S>3212</S>, and fled<S>1272</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S>.


text:
And Michal<S>4324</S> took<S>3947</S> the teraphim<S>8655</S>, and laid<S>7760</S> it in the bed<S>4296</S>, and put<S>7760</S> a pillow<S>3523</S> of goats<S>5795</S>' hair at the head<S>4763</S> thereof<S>3680</S>, and covered it with the clothes<S>899</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to take<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>, she said<S>559</S>, He is sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> to see<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Bring him up<S>5927</S> to me in the bed<S>4296</S>, that I may slay him<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when the messengers<S>4397</S> came in<S>935</S>, behold<S>8655</S>, the teraphim was in<S>935</S> the bed<S>4296</S>, with the pillow<S>3523</S> of goats<S>5795</S>' hair at the head thereof.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Michal<S>4324</S>, Why hast thou deceived me thus<S>7411</S>, and let mine enemy<S>341</S> go<S>7411</S>, so that he is escaped<S>4422</S>? And Michal<S>4324</S> answered<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, He said<S>559</S> unto me<S>7971</S>, Let me go; why should I kill thee<S>4191</S>?


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him all that Saul<S>7586</S> had done<S>6213</S> to him<S>8050</S>. And he and Samuel went<S>3212</S> and dwelt<S>3427</S> in Naioth<S>5121</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1732</S>, David is at Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> my father<S>1</S> seeketh<S>1245</S> to slay<S>4191</S> thee<S>8104</S>: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning<S>1242</S>, and abide<S>3427</S> in a secret<S>5643</S> place<S>2244</S>, and hide thyself:


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to take<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>: and when they saw<S>7200</S> the company<S>3862</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesying<S>5012</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S> standing<S>5975</S> as head<S>5324</S> over them<S>7307</S>, the Spirit of God<S>430</S> came upon the messengers<S>4397</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and they also prophesied<S>5012</S>.


text:
And when it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> other<S>312</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and they also prophesied<S>5012</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>3254</S> the third<S>7992</S> time<S>5012</S>, and they also prophesied.


text:
Then went<S>3212</S> he also to Ramah<S>7414</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the great<S>1419</S> well<S>953</S> that is in Secu<S>7906</S>: and he asked<S>7592</S> and said<S>559</S>, Where<S>375</S> are Samuel<S>8050</S> and David<S>1732</S>? And one said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5121</S>, they are at Naioth in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> thither to Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>: and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came upon him also<S>3212</S>, and he went on<S>1980</S>, and prophesied<S>5012</S>, until he came<S>935</S> to Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And he also<S>1571</S> stripped off<S>6584</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and he also prophesied<S>5012</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, and lay down<S>5307</S> naked<S>6174</S> all that day<S>3117</S> and all that night<S>3915</S>. Wherefore they say<S>559</S>, Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?


text:
and I will go out<S>3318</S> and stand<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> my father<S>1</S> in the field<S>7704</S> where thou art<S>1696</S>, and I will commune with my father<S>1</S> of thee<S>4100</S>; and if I see<S>7200</S> aught<S>5046</S>, I will tell thee.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> spake<S>1696</S> good<S>2896</S> of David<S>1732</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S> his father<S>1</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4428</S>, Let not the king sin<S>2398</S> against his servant<S>5650</S>, against David<S>1732</S>; because he hath not sinned<S>2398</S> against thee<S>4639</S>, and because his works have been to thee-ward<S>3966</S> very good<S>2896</S>:


text:
for he put<S>7760</S> his life<S>5315</S> in his hand<S>3709</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> wrought<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> victory<S>8668</S> for all Israel<S>3478</S>: thou sawest<S>7200</S> it<S>8055</S>, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin<S>2398</S> against innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S>, to slay<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S> without a cause<S>2600</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> hearkened<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> sware<S>7650</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, he shall not<S>518</S> be put to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> called<S>7121</S> David<S>1732</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> showed<S>5046</S> him all those things<S>1697</S>. And Jonathan<S>3083</S> brought<S>935</S> David<S>1732</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and he was in his presence<S>6440</S>, as beforetime<S>865</S>.


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> again<S>3254</S>: and David<S>1732</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; and they fled<S>5127</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from Jehovah<S>3068</S> was upon Saul<S>7586</S>, as he sat<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S> with his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>; and David<S>1732</S> was playing<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Hannah<S>2584</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>: My heart<S>3820</S> exulteth<S>5970</S> in Jehovah<S>3068</S>; My horn<S>7161</S> is exalted<S>7311</S> in Jehovah<S>3068</S>; My mouth<S>6310</S> is enlarged<S>7337</S> over mine enemies<S>341</S>; Because I rejoice<S>8055</S> in thy salvation<S>3444</S>.


text:
They that strive<S>7378</S> with Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall be broken to pieces<S>2865</S>; Against them will he thunder<S>7481</S> in heaven<S>8064</S>: Jehovah<S>3068</S> will judge<S>1777</S> the ends<S>657</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; And he will give<S>5414</S> strength<S>5797</S> unto his king<S>4428</S>, And exalt<S>7311</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of his anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S> to his house<S>1004</S>. And the child<S>5288</S> did<S>1961</S> minister<S>8334</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
Now the sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> were base<S>1100</S> men<S>1121</S>; they knew<S>3045</S> not Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the custom<S>4941</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> with the people<S>5971</S> was<S>376</S>, that, when any man offered<S>2076</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, the priest<S>3548</S>'s servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, while the flesh<S>1320</S> was boiling<S>1310</S>, with a flesh-hook<S>4207</S> of three<S>7969</S> teeth<S>8127</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>;


text:
and he struck<S>5221</S> it into the pan<S>3595</S>, or kettle<S>1731</S>, or caldron<S>7037</S>, or pot<S>6517</S>; all that the flesh-hook<S>4207</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> therewith<S>6213</S>. So they did in Shiloh<S>7887</S> unto all the Israelites<S>3478</S> that came thither<S>935</S>.


text:
Yea<S>6999</S>, before they burnt the fat<S>2459</S>, the priest<S>3548</S>'s servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> that sacrificed<S>2076</S>, Give<S>5414</S> flesh<S>1320</S> to roast<S>6740</S> for the priest<S>3548</S>; for he will not have<S>3947</S> boiled<S>1310</S> flesh<S>1320</S> of thee<S>2416</S>, but raw.


text:
And if the man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6999</S>, They will surely burn<S>6999</S> the fat<S>2459</S> first<S>3117</S>, and then take<S>3947</S> as much as thy soul<S>5315</S> desireth<S>183</S>; then he would say<S>559</S>, Nay<S>5414</S>, but thou shalt give it me now<S>3947</S>: and if not, I will take it by force<S>2394</S>.


text:
And the sin<S>2403</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>; for the men<S>582</S> despised<S>5006</S> the offering<S>4503</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
But Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, being a child<S>5288</S>, girded<S>2296</S> with a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
Moreover his mother<S>517</S> made<S>6213</S> him a little<S>6996</S> robe<S>4598</S>, and brought<S>5927</S> it to him from year<S>3117</S> to year<S>3117</S>, when she came up<S>5927</S> with her husband<S>376</S> to offer<S>2076</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
There is none holy<S>6918</S> as Jehovah<S>3068</S>; For there is none besides<S>1115</S> thee<S>6697</S>, Neither is there any rock like our God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Eli<S>5941</S> blessed<S>1288</S> Elkanah<S>511</S> and his wife<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> give<S>7760</S> thee seed<S>2233</S> of this woman<S>802</S> for the petition<S>7596</S> which was asked<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And they went<S>1980</S> unto their own home<S>4725</S>.


text:
And<S>3588</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> visited<S>6485</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>, and she conceived<S>2029</S>, and bare<S>3205</S> three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> and two<S>8147</S> daughters<S>1323</S>. And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S> before<S>5973</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was very<S>3966</S> old<S>2204</S>; and he heard<S>8085</S> all that his sons<S>1121</S> did<S>6213</S> unto all Israel<S>3478</S>, and how that they lay<S>7901</S> with the women<S>802</S> that did service<S>6633</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the tent<S>168</S> of meeting<S>4150</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6213</S>, Why do ye such things<S>1697</S>? for I hear<S>8085</S> of your evil<S>7451</S> dealings<S>1697</S> from all this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Nay<S>1121</S>, my sons; for it is no good<S>2896</S> report<S>8052</S> that I hear<S>8085</S>: ye make Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S> to transgress<S>5674</S>.


text:
If one man<S>376</S> sin<S>2398</S> against another<S>376</S>, God<S>430</S> shall judge<S>6419</S> him<S>376</S>; but if a man sin<S>2398</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>, who shall entreat<S>6419</S> for him<S>8085</S>? Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice<S>6963</S> of their father<S>1</S>, because Jehovah<S>3068</S> was minded<S>2654</S> to slay them<S>4191</S>.


text:
And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1432</S> on<S>1980</S>, and increased in favor<S>2896</S> both with Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and also with men<S>582</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> unto Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus saith Jehovah<S>3068</S>, Did I reveal<S>1540</S> myself<S>1540</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, when they were in Egypt<S>4714</S> in bondage to Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s house<S>1004</S>?


text:
and did I choose<S>977</S> him out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to be my priest<S>3548</S>, to go<S>5927</S> up unto mine altar<S>4196</S>, to burn<S>6999</S> incense<S>7004</S>, to wear<S>5375</S> an ephod<S>646</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>5414</S>? and did I give unto the house<S>1004</S> of thy father<S>1</S> all the offerings of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> made by fire<S>801</S>?


text:
Wherefore kick<S>1163</S> ye at my sacrifice<S>2077</S> and at mine offering<S>4503</S>, which I have commanded<S>6680</S> in my habitation<S>4583</S>, and honorest<S>3513</S> thy sons<S>1121</S> above me<S>1254</S>, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest<S>7225</S> of all the offerings<S>4503</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> my people<S>5971</S>?

Talk<S>1696</S> no more<S>7235</S> so exceeding<S>1364</S> proudly<S>1364</S>; Let not arrogancy<S>6277</S> come<S>3318</S> out of your mouth<S>6310</S>; For Jehovah<S>3068</S> is a God<S>410</S> of knowledge<S>1844</S>, And by him actions<S>5949</S> are weighed<S>8505</S>.


text:
Therefore Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saith<S>5002</S>, I said<S>559</S> indeed<S>559</S> that thy house<S>1004</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of thy father<S>1</S>, should walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> me for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>: but now Jehovah<S>3068</S> saith<S>5002</S>, Be it far from me<S>2486</S>; for them that honor<S>3513</S> me I will honor<S>3513</S>, and they that despise<S>959</S> me shall be lightly esteemed<S>7043</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3117</S>, the days come<S>935</S>, that I will cut off<S>1438</S> thine arm<S>2220</S>, and the arm<S>2220</S> of thy father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, that there shall not be an old man<S>2205</S> in thy house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And thou shalt behold<S>5027</S> the affliction<S>6862</S> of my habitation<S>4583</S>, in all the wealth which God shall give<S>3190</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and there shall not be an old man<S>2205</S> in thy house<S>1004</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of thine<S>3772</S>, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar<S>4196</S>, shall be to consume<S>3615</S> thine eyes<S>5869</S>, and to grieve<S>109</S> thy heart<S>5315</S>; and all the increase<S>4768</S> of thy house<S>1004</S> shall die<S>4191</S> in the flower of their age<S>582</S>.


text:
And this shall be the sign<S>226</S> unto thee<S>935</S>, that shall come upon thy two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, on Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>: in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> they shall die<S>4191</S> both of them<S>8147</S>.


text:
And I will raise me up<S>6965</S> a faithful<S>539</S> priest<S>3548</S>, that shall do<S>6213</S> according to that which is in my heart<S>3824</S> and in my mind<S>5315</S>: and I will build<S>1129</S> him a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>; and he shall walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> mine anointed<S>4899</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>3498</S>, that every one that is left in thy house<S>1004</S> shall come<S>935</S> and bow down<S>7812</S> to him for a piece<S>95</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and a loaf<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and shall say<S>559</S>, Put<S>5596</S> me<S>259</S>, I pray thee, into one of the priests<S>3550</S>' offices, that I may eat<S>398</S> a morsel<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
The bows<S>7198</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S> are broken<S>2844</S>; And they that stumbled<S>3782</S> are girded<S>247</S> with strength<S>2428</S>.


text:
They that were full<S>7649</S> have hired out<S>7936</S> themselves for bread<S>3899</S>; And they that were hungry<S>7457</S> have ceased<S>2308</S> to hunger<S>6135</S>: Yea, the barren hath borne<S>3205</S> seven<S>7651</S>; And she that hath many<S>7227</S> children<S>1121</S> languisheth<S>535</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> killeth<S>4191</S>, and maketh alive<S>2421</S>: He bringeth down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S>, and bringeth up<S>5927</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> maketh poor<S>3423</S>, and maketh rich<S>6238</S>: He bringeth low<S>8213</S>, he also<S>637</S> lifteth up<S>7311</S>.


text:
He raiseth up<S>6965</S> the poor<S>1800</S> out of the dust<S>6083</S>, He lifteth up<S>7311</S> the needy<S>34</S> from the dunghill<S>830</S>, To make them sit<S>3427</S> with princes<S>5081</S>, And inherit<S>5157</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of glory<S>3519</S>: For the pillars<S>4690</S> of the earth<S>776</S> are Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s, And he hath set<S>7896</S> the world upon them<S>8398</S>.


text:
He will keep<S>8104</S> the feet<S>7272</S> of his holy ones<S>2623</S>; But the wicked<S>7563</S> shall be put to silence<S>1826</S> in darkness<S>2822</S>; For by strength<S>3581</S> shall no man<S>376</S> prevail<S>1396</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> fled<S>1272</S> from Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>, and came<S>935</S> and said<S>559</S> before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, What have I done<S>6213</S>? what is mine iniquity<S>5771</S>? and what is my sin<S>2403</S> before<S>6440</S> thy father<S>1</S>, that he seeketh<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>?


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Who shall tell<S>5046</S> me if perchance thy father<S>1</S> answer<S>6030</S> thee roughly<S>7186</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>. And they went out<S>3318</S> both<S>8147</S> of them into the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, be witness<S>2713</S>: when I have sounded my father<S>1</S> about this time<S>6256</S> to-morrow<S>4279</S>, or the third<S>7992</S> day<S>6256</S>, behold<S>2895</S>, if there be good toward David<S>1732</S>, shall I not then send unto thee<S>7971</S>, and disclose it unto thee?


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and more<S>3254</S> also<S>3190</S>, should it please my father<S>1</S> to do thee evil<S>7451</S>, if I disclose<S>1540</S> it not unto thee<S>7971</S>, and send thee away, that thou mayest go<S>1980</S> in peace<S>7965</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> be with thee<S>1</S>, as he hath been with my father.


text:
And thou shalt not only while yet<S>518</S> I live<S>2416</S> show<S>6213</S> me the lovingkindness<S>2617</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that I die not<S>4191</S>;


text:
but also thou shalt not cut off<S>3772</S> thy kindness<S>2617</S> from my house<S>1004</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>; no<S>3068</S>, not when Jehovah hath cut off<S>3772</S> the enemies<S>341</S> of David<S>1732</S> every one<S>376</S> from the face<S>6440</S> of the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
So Jonathan<S>3083</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>3068</S>, And Jehovah will require<S>1245</S> it at the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>'s enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> caused David<S>1732</S> to swear<S>7650</S> again<S>3254</S>, for the love<S>160</S> that he had to him<S>160</S>; for he loved him as he loved<S>160</S> his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1732</S>, To-morrow<S>4279</S> is the new moon<S>2320</S>: and thou wilt be missed<S>6485</S>, because thy seat<S>4186</S> will be empty<S>6485</S>.


text:
And when thou hast stayed three days<S>8027</S>, thou shalt go down<S>3381</S> quickly<S>3966</S>, and come<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where thou didst hide<S>5641</S> thyself when<S>3117</S> the business<S>4639</S> was in hand<S>3427</S>, and shalt remain by<S>681</S> the stone<S>68</S> Ezel<S>237</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2486</S>, Far from it; thou shalt not die<S>4191</S>: behold<S>1</S>, my father doeth<S>6213</S> nothing<S>1697</S> either great<S>1419</S> or small<S>6996</S>, but that he discloseth<S>1540</S> it unto me<S>1</S>; and why should my father hide<S>5641</S> this thing from me<S>1697</S>? it is not so.


text:
And I will shoot<S>3384</S> three<S>7969</S> arrows<S>2671</S> on the side<S>6654</S> thereof<S>7971</S>, as though I shot at a mark<S>4307</S>.


text:
And<S>7971</S>, behold, I will send the lad<S>5288</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, find<S>4672</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>. If I say<S>559</S> unto the lad<S>5288</S>, Behold<S>2671</S>, the arrows are on this side of thee<S>3947</S>; take them<S>935</S>, and come; for there is peace<S>7965</S> to thee and no hurt<S>1697</S>, as Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>.


text:
But if I say<S>559</S> thus unto the boy<S>5958</S>, Behold<S>2671</S>, the arrows are beyond<S>1973</S> thee<S>3212</S>; go thy way; for Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath sent thee away<S>7971</S>.


text:
And as touching the matter<S>1697</S> which thou and I have spoken<S>1696</S> of<S>3068</S>, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> hid<S>5641</S> himself in the field<S>7704</S>: and when the new moon<S>2320</S> was come<S>4428</S>, the king sat him down<S>3427</S> to eat<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon his seat<S>4186</S>, as at other times<S>6471</S>, even upon the seat<S>4186</S> by the wall<S>7023</S>; and Jonathan<S>3083</S> stood up<S>6965</S>, and Abner<S>74</S> sat<S>3427</S> by Saul<S>7586</S>'s side<S>6654</S>: but David<S>1732</S>'s place<S>4725</S> was empty<S>6485</S>.


text:
Nevertheless Saul<S>7586</S> spake<S>1696</S> not anything<S>3972</S> that day<S>3117</S>: for he thought<S>559</S>, Something hath befallen<S>4745</S> him<S>1115</S>, he is not clean<S>2889</S>; surely he is not clean<S>2889</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S> after the new moon<S>2320</S>, which was the second<S>8145</S> day<S>1732</S>, that David's place<S>4725</S> was empty<S>6485</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>, Wherefore cometh<S>935</S> not the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> to meat<S>3899</S>, neither yesterday<S>8543</S>, nor to-day<S>3117</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, David<S>1732</S> earnestly<S>7592</S> asked<S>7592</S> leave of me<S>5978</S> to go to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S>:


text:
and he said<S>559</S>, Let me go<S>7971</S>, I pray thee<S>4940</S>; for our family hath a sacrifice<S>2077</S> in the city<S>5892</S>; and my brother<S>251</S>, he hath commanded<S>6680</S> me to be there<S>4672</S>: and now, if I have found favor<S>2580</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>, let me get away<S>4422</S>, I pray thee<S>7200</S>, and see my brethren<S>251</S>. Therefore he is not come<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>'s table<S>7979</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sware<S>7650</S> moreover<S>559</S>, and said, Thy father<S>1</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> well<S>3045</S> that I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>; and he saith<S>559</S>, Let not Jonathan<S>3083</S> know<S>3045</S> this<S>6087</S>, lest he be grieved: but truly<S>199</S> as Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and as thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, there is but a step<S>6587</S> between me and death<S>4194</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1121</S>, Thou son of a perverse<S>5753</S> rebellious<S>4780</S> woman<S>3045</S>, do not I know that thou hast chosen<S>977</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> to thine own shame<S>1322</S>, and unto the shame<S>1322</S> of thy mother<S>517</S>'s nakedness<S>6172</S>?


text:
For as long as<S>3117</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> liveth<S>2425</S> upon the ground<S>127</S>, thou shalt not be established<S>3559</S>, nor thy kingdom<S>4438</S>. Wherefore now send<S>7971</S> and fetch<S>3947</S> him unto me<S>1121</S>, for he shall surely die.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S> his father<S>1</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4191</S>, Wherefore should he be put to death? what hath he done<S>6213</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> cast<S>2904</S> his spear<S>2595</S> at him to smite<S>5221</S> him<S>3083</S>; whereby Jonathan knew<S>3045</S> that it was determined<S>3617</S> of his father<S>1</S> to put David<S>1732</S> to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Jonathan<S>3083</S> arose<S>6965</S> from the table<S>7979</S> in fierce<S>2750</S> anger<S>639</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> no food<S>3899</S> the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S>; for he was grieved<S>6087</S> for David<S>1732</S>, because his father<S>1</S> had done him shame<S>3637</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, that Jonathan<S>3083</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> at the time appointed<S>4150</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and a little<S>6996</S> lad with him<S>5288</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his lad<S>5288</S>, Run<S>7323</S>, find<S>4672</S> now the arrows<S>2671</S> which I shoot<S>3384</S>. And as the lad<S>5288</S> ran<S>7323</S>, he shot<S>3384</S> an arrow<S>2678</S> beyond him<S>5674</S>.


text:
And when the lad<S>5288</S> was come<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> of the arrow<S>2678</S> which Jonathan<S>3083</S> had shot<S>3384</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S> cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> the lad<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Is not the arrow<S>2678</S> beyond thee<S>1973</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> the lad<S>5288</S>, Make speed<S>4120</S>, haste<S>2363</S>, stay<S>5975</S> not<S>3083</S>. And Jonathan's lad<S>5288</S> gathered up<S>3950</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>, and came<S>935</S> to his master<S>113</S>.


text:
But the lad<S>5288</S> knew<S>3045</S> not anything<S>3972</S>: only Jonathan<S>3083</S> and David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> the matter<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Whatsoever thy soul<S>5315</S> desireth<S>559</S>, I will even do it for thee<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> gave<S>5414</S> his weapons<S>3627</S> unto his lad<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, carry<S>935</S> them to the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And as soon as the lad<S>5288</S> was gone<S>935</S>, David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> out of a place toward<S>681</S> the South<S>5045</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>: and they kissed<S>5401</S> one<S>376</S> another<S>7453</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> one<S>376</S> with another<S>7453</S>, until David<S>1732</S> exceeded<S>1431</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, forasmuch as we have sworn<S>7650</S> both<S>8147</S> of us in the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> shall be between me and thee<S>2233</S>, and between my seed and thy seed<S>2233</S>, for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3212</S>: and Jonathan<S>3083</S> went<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Behold<S>4279</S>, to-morrow is the new moon<S>2320</S>, and I should not fail<S>3427</S> to sit<S>3427</S> with the king<S>4428</S> at meat<S>398</S>: but let me go<S>7971</S>, that I may hide<S>5641</S> myself in the field<S>7704</S> unto the third<S>7992</S> day at even<S>6153</S>.


text:
If thy father<S>1</S> miss<S>6485</S> me at all<S>6485</S>, then say<S>559</S>, David<S>1732</S> earnestly<S>7592</S> asked<S>7592</S> leave of me that he might run<S>7323</S> to Beth-lehem<S>1035</S> his city<S>5892</S>; for it is the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> there for all the family<S>4940</S>.


text:
If he say<S>559</S> thus<S>2896</S>, It is well; thy servant<S>5650</S> shall have peace<S>7965</S>: but if he be<S>2734</S> wroth<S>2734</S>, then know<S>3045</S> that evil<S>7451</S> is determined by him<S>3615</S>.

Therefore deal<S>6213</S> kindly<S>2617</S> with thy servant<S>5650</S>; for thou hast brought<S>935</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> into a covenant<S>1285</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> with thee<S>3426</S>: but if there be in me iniquity<S>5771</S>, slay<S>4191</S> me thyself<S>935</S>; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father<S>1</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S>, Far be it from thee<S>2486</S>; for if I should at all<S>3045</S> know<S>3045</S> that evil<S>7451</S> were determined<S>3615</S> by my father<S>1</S> to come<S>935</S> upon thee<S>5046</S>, then would not I tell it thee?


text:
Then came<S>935</S> David<S>1732</S> to Nob<S>5011</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>: and Ahimelech<S>288</S> came to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S> trembling<S>2729</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> that day<S>3117</S> for fear<S>6440</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and went<S>935</S> to Achish<S>397</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1732</S>, Is not this David the king<S>4428</S> of the land<S>776</S>? did they not sing<S>6030</S> one to another of him<S>2088</S> in dances<S>4246</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> hath slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, And David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>7233</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> laid up<S>7760</S> these words<S>1697</S> in his heart<S>3824</S>, and was sore<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> Achish<S>397</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And he changed<S>8138</S> his behavior<S>2940</S> before<S>5869</S> them<S>1984</S>, and feigned himself mad in their hands<S>3027</S>, and scrabbled<S>8427</S> on the doors<S>1817</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>, and let his spittle<S>7388</S> fall down<S>3381</S> upon his beard<S>2206</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Achish<S>397</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Lo<S>7200</S>, ye see the man<S>376</S> is mad<S>7696</S>; wherefore then have ye brought him to me<S>935</S>?


text:
Do I lack<S>2638</S> madmen<S>7696</S>, that ye have brought<S>935</S> this fellow to play the madman<S>7696</S> in my presence<S>935</S>? shall this fellow come into my house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, The king<S>4428</S> hath commanded<S>6680</S> me a business<S>1697</S>, and hath said<S>559</S> unto me<S>376</S>, Let no man know<S>3045</S> anything<S>3972</S> of the business<S>1697</S> whereabout I send<S>7971</S> thee<S>6680</S>, and what I have commanded thee<S>6680</S>: and I have appointed the young men<S>5288</S> to such<S>6423</S> and such<S>492</S> a place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Now therefore what is<S>3426</S> under thy hand<S>3027</S>? give<S>5414</S> me five<S>2568</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>, or whatsoever there is present<S>4672</S>.


text:
And the priest<S>3548</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, There is no common<S>2455</S> bread<S>3899</S> under my hand<S>3027</S>, but there is<S>3426</S> holy<S>6944</S> bread<S>3899</S>; if only the young men<S>5288</S> have kept<S>8104</S> themselves from<S>389</S> women<S>802</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>518</S>, Of a truth women<S>802</S> have been kept<S>6113</S> from us about these three<S>8032</S> days<S>8543</S>; when I came out<S>3318</S>, the vessels<S>3627</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> were holy<S>6944</S>, though it was but a common<S>2455</S> journey<S>1870</S>; how much more then to-day<S>3117</S> shall their vessels<S>3627</S> be holy<S>6942</S>?


text:
So the priest<S>3548</S> gave<S>5414</S> him holy<S>6944</S> bread<S>3899</S>; for there was no bread there but the showbread<S>3899</S>, that was taken<S>5493</S> from before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, to put<S>7760</S> hot<S>2527</S> bread<S>3899</S> in the day<S>3117</S> when it was taken away<S>3947</S>.


text:
Now a certain man<S>376</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> was there that day<S>3117</S>, detained<S>6113</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>; and his name<S>8034</S> was Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>, the chiefest<S>47</S> of the herdsmen<S>7462</S> that belonged to Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahimelech<S>288</S>, And is there<S>3426</S> not<S>371</S> here under thy hand<S>3027</S> spear<S>2595</S> or sword<S>2719</S>? for I have neither brought<S>3947</S> my sword<S>2719</S> nor my weapons<S>3627</S> with me<S>3027</S>, because the king<S>4428</S>'s business<S>1697</S> required<S>1961</S> haste<S>5169</S>.


text:
And the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S>, The sword<S>2719</S> of Goliath<S>1555</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, whom thou slewest<S>5221</S> in the vale<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, behold<S>3874</S>, it is here wrapped in a cloth<S>8071</S> behind<S>310</S> the ephod<S>646</S>: if thou wilt take<S>3947</S> that<S>3947</S>, take it<S>312</S>; for there is no other save<S>2108</S> that here<S>2088</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, There is none like that<S>5414</S>; give it me.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore departed<S>3212</S> thence<S>4422</S>, and escaped to the cave<S>4631</S> of Adullam<S>5725</S>: and when his brethren<S>251</S> and all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3381</S>, they went down thither to him.


text:
And he inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> for him<S>5414</S>, and gave him victuals<S>6720</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him the sword<S>2719</S> of Goliath<S>1555</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> to call<S>7121</S> Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, and all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, the priests<S>3548</S> that were in Nob<S>5011</S>: and they came<S>935</S> all of them to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> now<S>1121</S>, thou son of Ahitub<S>285</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, Here I am<S>113</S>, my lord.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7194</S>, Why have ye conspired against me<S>1121</S>, thou and the son of Jesse<S>3448</S>, in that thou hast given<S>5414</S> him bread<S>3899</S>, and a sword<S>2719</S>, and hast inquired<S>7592</S> of God<S>430</S> for him<S>6965</S>, that he should rise against me<S>693</S>, to lie in wait, as at this day<S>3117</S>?


text:
Then Ahimelech<S>288</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, And who among all thy servants<S>5650</S> is so faithful<S>539</S> as David<S>1732</S>, who is the king<S>4428</S>'s son-in<S>2860</S>-law, and is taken<S>5493</S> into thy council<S>4928</S>, and is honorable<S>3513</S> in thy house<S>1004</S>?


text:
Have I to-day<S>3117</S> begun<S>2490</S> to inquire<S>7592</S> of God<S>430</S> for him<S>2486</S>? be it far from me: let not the king<S>4428</S> impute<S>7760</S> anything<S>1697</S> unto his servant<S>5650</S>, nor to all the house<S>1004</S> of my father<S>1</S>; for thy servant<S>5650</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> nothing<S>1697</S> of all this<S>6996</S>, less or more<S>1419</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Thou shalt surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, Ahimelech<S>288</S>, thou<S>1</S>, and all thy father's house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the guard<S>7323</S> that stood<S>5324</S> about him<S>5437</S>, Turn, and slay<S>4191</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; because their hand<S>3027</S> also is with David<S>1732</S>, and because they knew<S>3045</S> that he fled<S>1272</S>, and did not disclose<S>1540</S> it to me<S>5650</S>. But the servants of the king<S>4428</S> would<S>14</S> not put forth<S>7971</S> their hand<S>3027</S> to fall<S>6293</S> upon the priests<S>3548</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Doeg<S>1673</S>, Turn<S>5437</S> thou<S>6293</S>, and fall upon the priests<S>3548</S>. And Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S> turned<S>5437</S>, and he fell<S>6293</S> upon the priests<S>3548</S>, and he slew<S>4191</S> on that day<S>3117</S> fourscore<S>8084</S> and five<S>2568</S> persons<S>376</S> that did wear<S>5375</S> a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
And Nob<S>5011</S>, the city<S>5892</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, smote<S>5221</S> he with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, both men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, children<S>5768</S> and sucklings<S>3243</S>, and oxen<S>7794</S> and asses<S>2543</S> and sheep<S>7716</S>, with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And every one<S>376</S> that was in distress<S>4689</S>, and every one<S>376</S> that was in debt<S>5378</S>, and every one<S>376</S> that was discontented<S>4751</S>, gathered<S>6908</S> themselves unto him<S>8269</S>; and he became captain over them<S>702</S>: and there were with him about four hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And one<S>259</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, named<S>8034</S> Abiathar<S>54</S>, escaped<S>4422</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And Abiathar<S>54</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had slain<S>2026</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Abiathar<S>54</S>, I knew<S>3045</S> on that day<S>3117</S>, when Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S> was there<S>5046</S>, that he would surely tell<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>: I have occasioned<S>5437</S> the death of all the persons<S>5315</S> of thy father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Abide<S>3427</S> thou with me<S>3372</S>, fear not<S>1245</S>; for he that seeketh my life<S>5315</S> seeketh<S>1245</S> thy life<S>5315</S>: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard<S>4931</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> thence to Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and he said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, Let my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>, I pray thee<S>3318</S>, come forth, and be with you<S>3045</S>, till I know what God<S>430</S> will do for me<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>5148</S> them before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and they dwelt<S>3427</S> with him all the while<S>3117</S> that David<S>1732</S> was in the stronghold<S>4686</S>.


text:
And the prophet<S>5030</S> Gad<S>1410</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Abide<S>3427</S> not in the stronghold<S>4686</S>; depart<S>3212</S>, and get<S>935</S> thee into the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>. Then David<S>1732</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> into the forest<S>3293</S> of Hereth<S>2802</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> heard<S>8085</S> that David<S>1732</S> was discovered<S>3045</S>, and the men<S>582</S> that were with him<S>7586</S>: now Saul was sitting<S>3427</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S>, under the tamarisk-tree<S>815</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>, with his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and all his servants<S>5650</S> were standing about him<S>5324</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S> that stood<S>5324</S> about him<S>8085</S>, Hear now, ye Benjamites<S>1145</S>; will the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> give<S>5414</S> every one of you fields<S>7704</S> and vineyards<S>3754</S>, will he make<S>7760</S> you all captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S> and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>,


text:
that all of you have conspired<S>7194</S> against me<S>1540</S>, and there is none that discloseth to me when my son<S>1121</S> maketh a league<S>3772</S> with the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>, and there is none of you that is sorry<S>2470</S> for me<S>1540</S>, or discloseth unto me that my son<S>1121</S> hath stirred up<S>6965</S> my servant<S>5650</S> against me<S>693</S>, to lie in wait, as at this day<S>3117</S>?


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>, who stood<S>5324</S> by the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> coming<S>935</S> to Nob<S>5011</S>, to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>.


text:
And they told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>6430</S>, the Philistines are fighting<S>3898</S> against Keilah<S>7084</S>, and are robbing<S>8154</S> the threshing-floors<S>1637</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, thy servant<S>5650</S> hath surely<S>8085</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> seeketh<S>1245</S> to come<S>935</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, to destroy<S>7843</S> the city for my sake<S>5892</S>.


text:
Will the men<S>1167</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S> deliver me up<S>5462</S> into his hand<S>3027</S>? will Saul<S>7586</S> come down<S>3381</S>, as thy servant<S>5650</S> hath heard<S>8085</S>? O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I beseech thee<S>5046</S>, tell thy servant<S>5650</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, He will come down<S>3381</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, Will the men<S>1167</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S> deliver<S>5462</S> up to me and my men<S>582</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, They will deliver thee up<S>5462</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S>, who were about six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3318</S> out of Keilah<S>7084</S>, and went<S>1980</S> whithersoever<S>834</S> they could go<S>1980</S>. And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was escaped<S>4422</S> from Keilah<S>7084</S>; and he forbare<S>2308</S> to go forth<S>3318</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> abode<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> in the strongholds<S>4679</S>, and remained<S>3427</S> in the hill-country<S>2022</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> sought<S>1245</S> him every day<S>3117</S>, but God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> him not into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was come out<S>3318</S> to seek<S>1245</S> his life<S>5315</S>: and David<S>1732</S> was in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S>, arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to David<S>1732</S> into the wood<S>2793</S>, and strengthened<S>2388</S> his hand<S>3027</S> in God<S>430</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>3027</S>; for the hand of Saul<S>7586</S> my father<S>1</S> shall not find<S>4672</S> thee<S>4427</S>; and thou shalt be king over Israel<S>3478</S>, and I shall be next<S>4932</S> unto thee<S>7586</S>; and that also Saul my father<S>1</S> knoweth<S>3045</S>.

And they two<S>8147</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>: and David<S>1732</S> abode<S>3427</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> went<S>1980</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then came up<S>5927</S> the Ziphites<S>2130</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Doth not David<S>1732</S> hide<S>5641</S> himself with us in the strongholds<S>4679</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>, in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is on the south<S>3225</S> of the desert<S>3452</S>?


text:
Therefore David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I go<S>3212</S> and smite<S>5221</S> these Philistines<S>6430</S>? And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, and smite<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and save<S>3467</S> Keilah<S>7084</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>4428</S>, O king, come down<S>3381</S>, according to all the desire<S>185</S> of thy soul<S>5315</S> to come down<S>3381</S>; and our part shall be to deliver<S>5462</S> him up into the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be ye of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; for ye have had compassion on me<S>2550</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, I pray you<S>3559</S>, make yet more sure<S>3045</S>, and know and see<S>7200</S> his place<S>4725</S> where his haunt<S>7272</S> is<S>7200</S>, and who hath seen him there<S>559</S>; for it is told me that he dealeth very<S>6191</S> subtly<S>6191</S>.


text:
See<S>7200</S> therefore<S>3045</S>, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places<S>4224</S> where he hideth<S>2244</S> himself<S>7725</S>, and come ye again to me of a certainty<S>3559</S>, and I will go<S>1980</S> with you<S>3426</S>: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land<S>776</S>, that I will search<S>2664</S> him out among all the thousands<S>505</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And they arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Ziph<S>2128</S> before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>: but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> were in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>, in the Arabah<S>6160</S> on the south<S>3225</S> of the desert<S>3452</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to seek<S>1245</S> him<S>5046</S>. And they told David<S>1732</S>: wherefore he came down<S>3381</S> to the rock<S>5553</S>, and abode<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>. And when Saul<S>7586</S> heard<S>8085</S> that<S>7291</S>, he pursued after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> went<S>3212</S> on this side<S>6654</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>, and David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> on that side<S>6654</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>: and David<S>1732</S> made haste<S>2648</S> to get away<S>3212</S> for fear<S>6440</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> and his men<S>582</S> compassed<S>5849</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> round about<S>5849</S> to take them<S>8610</S>.


text:
But there came<S>935</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Haste<S>4116</S> thee<S>3212</S>, and come; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> have made a raid<S>6584</S> upon the land<S>776</S>.


text:
So Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>: therefore they called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Sela-hammahlekoth<S>5555</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> from thence<S>3427</S>, and dwelt in the strongholds<S>4679</S> of En-gedi<S>5872</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s men<S>582</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3373</S>, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah<S>3063</S>: how much more then if we go<S>3212</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S> against the armies<S>4634</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>?


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> yet again<S>3254</S>. And Jehovah<S>3068</S> answered<S>6030</S> him<S>6030</S>, and said, Arise<S>6965</S>, go down<S>3381</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>; for I will deliver<S>5414</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and brought away<S>5090</S> their cattle<S>4735</S>, and slew<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>. So David<S>1732</S> save<S>3467</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>54</S>, when Abiathar the son<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S> fled<S>1272</S> to David<S>1732</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, that he came down<S>3381</S> with an ephod<S>646</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was come<S>935</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> hath delivered<S>5234</S> him into my hand<S>3027</S>; for he is shut in<S>5462</S>, by entering<S>935</S> into a town<S>5892</S> that hath gates<S>1817</S> and bars<S>1280</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> summoned<S>8085</S> all the people<S>5971</S> to<S>8085</S> war<S>4421</S>, to go down<S>3381</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, to besiege<S>6696</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was devising<S>2790</S> mischief<S>7451</S> against him<S>559</S>; and he said to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, Bring hither<S>5066</S> the ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7586</S>, when Saul was returned<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, that it was told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>1732</S>, David is in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of En-gedi<S>5872</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3117</S>, this day thine eyes<S>5869</S> have seen<S>7200</S> how that Jehovah<S>3068</S> had delivered<S>5414</S> thee to-day<S>3117</S> into my hand<S>3027</S> in the cave<S>4631</S>: and some bade<S>559</S> me kill<S>2026</S> thee<S>2347</S>; but mine eye spared thee<S>559</S>; and I said, I will not put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against my lord<S>113</S>; for he is Jehovah<S>113</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
Moreover<S>1</S>, my father, see<S>7200</S>, yea<S>7200</S>, see the skirt<S>3671</S> of thy robe<S>4598</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>; for in that I cut off<S>3772</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of thy robe<S>4598</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> thee not<S>3045</S>, know thou and see<S>7200</S> that there is neither evil<S>7451</S> nor transgression<S>6588</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>, and I have not sinned<S>2398</S> against thee<S>6658</S>, though thou huntest after my life<S>5315</S> to take it<S>3947</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> judge<S>8199</S> between me and thee<S>3068</S>, and Jehovah avenge<S>5358</S> me of thee<S>3027</S>; but my hand shall not be upon thee.


text:
As saith<S>559</S> the proverb<S>4912</S> of the ancients<S>6931</S>, Out of the wicked<S>7563</S> cometh<S>3318</S> forth wickedness<S>7562</S>; but my hand shall not be upon thee<S>3027</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> whom is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> come out<S>3318</S>? after<S>310</S> whom dost thou pursue<S>7291</S>? after<S>310</S> a dead<S>4191</S> dog<S>3611</S>, after<S>310</S> a<S>259</S> flea<S>6550</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> therefore be judge<S>1781</S>, and give sentence<S>8199</S> between me and thee<S>7200</S>, and see, and plead<S>7378</S> my cause<S>7379</S>, and deliver<S>8199</S> me out of thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David had made an end<S>3615</S> of speaking<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, that Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Is this thy voice<S>6963</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>? And Saul<S>7586</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Thou art more righteous<S>6662</S> than I<S>1580</S>; for thou hast rendered unto me good<S>2896</S>, whereas I have rendered<S>1580</S> unto thee evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
And thou hast declared<S>5046</S> this day<S>3117</S> how that thou hast dealt<S>6213</S> well<S>2896</S> with me<S>3068</S>, forasmuch as when Jehovah had delivered<S>5462</S> me up into thy hand<S>3027</S>, thou killedst me not<S>2026</S>.


text:
For if a man<S>376</S> find<S>4672</S> his enemy<S>341</S>, will he let him go<S>7971</S> well<S>2896</S> away<S>1870</S>? wherefore Jehovah<S>3068</S> reward<S>7999</S> thee good<S>2896</S> for that which thou hast done<S>6213</S> unto me this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> out of all Israel<S>3478</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to seek<S>1245</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> upon<S>6440</S> the rocks<S>6697</S> of the wild goats<S>3277</S>.


text:
And now<S>3045</S>, behold, I know that thou shalt surely<S>4427</S> be king<S>4427</S>, and that the kingdom<S>4467</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall be established<S>6965</S> in thy hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Swear<S>7650</S> now therefore unto me by Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that thou wilt not<S>518</S> cut off<S>3772</S> my seed<S>2233</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>8045</S>, and that thou wilt not destroy my name<S>8034</S> out of my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sware<S>7650</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> went<S>3212</S> home<S>1004</S>; but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> gat them up<S>5927</S> unto the stronghold<S>4686</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> to the sheepcotes<S>1448</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, where was a cave<S>4631</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went in<S>935</S> to cover<S>5526</S> his feet<S>7272</S>. Now David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> were abiding<S>3427</S> in the innermost parts<S>3411</S> of the cave<S>4631</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3117</S>, Behold, the day of which Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto thee<S>5414</S>, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy<S>341</S> into thy hand<S>3027</S>, and thou shalt do<S>6213</S> to him as it shall seem good<S>3190</S> unto thee<S>5869</S>. Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and cut off<S>3772</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s robe<S>4598</S> privily<S>3909</S>.


text:
And it came to pass afterward<S>310</S>, that David<S>1732</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> smote<S>5221</S> him<S>3772</S>, because he had cut off Saul<S>7586</S>'s skirt<S>3671</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his men<S>582</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> that I should do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> unto my lord<S>113</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>, to put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against him<S>3068</S>, seeing he is Jehovah's anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> checked<S>8156</S> his men<S>582</S> with these words<S>1697</S>, and suffered<S>5414</S> them not to rise<S>6965</S> against Saul<S>7586</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> rose up<S>6965</S> out of the cave<S>4631</S>, and went<S>3212</S> on his way<S>1870</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> also arose<S>6965</S> afterward<S>3318</S>, and went out of the cave<S>4631</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>. And when Saul<S>7586</S> looked<S>5027</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>1732</S>, David bowed<S>6915</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and did obeisance<S>7812</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Wherefore hearkenest<S>8085</S> thou to men<S>120</S>'s words<S>1697</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1732</S>, David seeketh<S>1245</S> thy hurt<S>7451</S>?


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> died<S>4191</S>; and all Israel<S>3478</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and lamented<S>5594</S> him<S>6912</S>, and buried him in his house<S>1004</S> at Ramah<S>7414</S>. And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Paran<S>6290</S>.


text:
And Nabal<S>5037</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Who is David<S>1732</S>? and who is the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>? there are many<S>7231</S> servants<S>5650</S> now-a<S>3117</S>-days that break away<S>6555</S> every man<S>376</S> from<S>6440</S> his master<S>113</S>.


text:
Shall I then take<S>3947</S> my bread<S>3899</S>, and my water<S>4325</S>, and my flesh<S>2878</S> that I have killed<S>2873</S> for my shearers<S>1494</S>, and give<S>5414</S> it unto men<S>582</S> of whom I know not whence they are<S>3045</S>?


text:
So David<S>1732</S>'s young men<S>5288</S> turned<S>2015</S> on their way<S>1870</S>, and went back<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> him according to all these words<S>1697</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto his men<S>582</S>, Gird ye on<S>2296</S> every man<S>376</S> his sword<S>2719</S>. And they girded on<S>2296</S> every man<S>376</S> his sword<S>2719</S>; and David<S>1732</S> also girded on<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S>: and there went up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> about four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; and two hundred<S>3967</S> abode<S>3427</S> by the baggage<S>3627</S>.


text:
But one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> told<S>5046</S> Abigail<S>26</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1732</S>, David sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> out of the wilderness<S>4057</S> to salute<S>1288</S> our master<S>113</S>; and he railed at them<S>5860</S>.


text:
But the men<S>582</S> were very<S>3966</S> good<S>2896</S> unto us<S>3637</S>, and we were not hurt, neither missed<S>6485</S> we anything<S>3972</S>, as long as<S>3117</S> we went<S>1980</S> with them<S>7704</S>, when we were in the fields:


text:
they were a wall<S>2346</S> unto us both by night<S>3915</S> and by day<S>3119</S>, all the while<S>3117</S> we were with them keeping<S>7462</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
Now therefore know<S>3045</S> and consider<S>7200</S> what thou wilt do<S>6213</S>; for evil<S>7451</S> is determined<S>3615</S> against our master<S>113</S>, and against all his house<S>1004</S>: for he is such a worthless<S>1100</S> fellow<S>1121</S>, that one cannot speak to him<S>1696</S>.


text:
Then Abigail<S>26</S> made haste<S>4116</S>, and took<S>3947</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> loaves<S>3899</S>, and two<S>8147</S> bottles<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and five<S>2568</S> sheep<S>6629</S> ready dressed<S>6213</S>, and five<S>2568</S> measures<S>5429</S> of parched<S>7039</S> grain<S>3967</S>, and a hundred clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>, and two hundred<S>3967</S> cakes<S>1690</S> of figs<S>7760</S>, and laid them on asses<S>2543</S>.

And she said<S>559</S> unto her young men<S>5288</S>, Go on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>935</S>; behold, I come after<S>310</S> you<S>5046</S>. But she told not her husband<S>376</S> Nabal<S>5037</S>.


text:
And there was a man<S>376</S> in Maon<S>4584</S>, whose possessions<S>4639</S> were in Carmel<S>3760</S>; and the man<S>376</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S>, and he had three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> goats<S>5795</S>: and he was shearing<S>1494</S> his sheep<S>6629</S> in Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>7392</S>, as she rode on her ass<S>2543</S>, and came down<S>3381</S> by the covert<S>5643</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>, that<S>1732</S>, behold, David and his men<S>582</S> came down<S>3381</S> toward<S>7125</S> her<S>6298</S>; and she met them.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> had said<S>559</S>, Surely in vain<S>8267</S> have I kept<S>8104</S> all that this<S>2088</S> fellow hath in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, so that nothing<S>3972</S> was missed<S>6485</S> of all that pertained unto him<S>7725</S>: and he hath returned me evil<S>7451</S> for good<S>2896</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> unto the enemies<S>341</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and more<S>3254</S> also<S>7604</S>, if I leave of all that pertain to him by<S>5704</S> the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> so much as one<S>8366</S> man-child<S>7023</S>.


text:
And when Abigail<S>26</S> saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, she hasted<S>4116</S>, and alighted<S>3381</S> from her ass<S>2543</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> before<S>639</S> David<S>1732</S> on her face<S>6440</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
And she fell<S>5307</S> at his feet<S>7272</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Upon me<S>113</S>, my lord, upon me be the iniquity<S>5771</S>; and let thy handmaid<S>519</S>, I pray thee<S>1696</S>, speak in thine ears<S>241</S>, and hear<S>8085</S> thou the words<S>1697</S> of thy handmaid<S>589</S>.


text:
Let<S>7760</S> not my lord<S>113</S>, I pray thee<S>3820</S>, regard this worthless<S>1100</S> fellow<S>376</S>, even Nabal<S>5037</S>; for as his name<S>8034</S> is<S>5037</S>, so is he; Nabal is his name<S>8034</S>, and folly<S>5039</S> is with him<S>519</S>: but I thy handmaid saw<S>7200</S> not the young men<S>5288</S> of my lord<S>113</S>, whom thou didst send<S>7971</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>113</S>, my lord, as Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, and as thy soul<S>5315</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, seeing Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath withholden<S>4513</S> thee from<S>935</S> bloodguiltiness<S>1818</S>, and from avenging<S>3467</S> thyself with thine own hand<S>3027</S>, now therefore let thine enemies<S>341</S>, and them that seek<S>1245</S> evil<S>7451</S> to my lord<S>113</S>, be as Nabal<S>5037</S>.


text:
And now this present<S>1293</S> which thy servant<S>8198</S> hath brought<S>935</S> unto my lord<S>113</S>, let it be given<S>5414</S> unto the young men<S>5288</S> that follow<S>1980</S> my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
Forgive<S>5375</S>, I pray thee<S>6588</S>, the trespass of thy handmaid<S>519</S>: for Jehovah<S>3068</S> will certainly<S>6213</S> make<S>6213</S> my lord<S>3068</S> a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>, because my lord<S>113</S> fighteth<S>3898</S> the battles<S>4421</S> of Jehovah<S>113</S>; and evil<S>7451</S> shall not be found<S>4672</S> in thee all thy days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And though men<S>120</S> be risen<S>6965</S> up to pursue<S>7291</S> thee<S>1245</S>, and to seek thy soul<S>5315</S>, yet the soul<S>5315</S> of my lord<S>113</S> shall be bound<S>6887</S> in the bundle<S>6872</S> of life<S>2416</S> with Jehovah<S>3068</S> thy God<S>430</S>; and the souls<S>5315</S> of thine enemies<S>341</S>, them shall he sling out<S>7049</S>, as from the hollow<S>8432</S> of a sling<S>7050</S>.


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of the man<S>376</S> was Nabal<S>5037</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his wife<S>802</S> Abigail<S>26</S>; and the woman<S>802</S> was of good<S>2896</S> understanding<S>7922</S>, and of a beautiful<S>3303</S> countenance<S>8389</S>: but the man<S>376</S> was churlish<S>7186</S> and evil<S>7451</S> in his doings<S>4611</S>; and he was of the house of Caleb<S>3614</S>.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>3068</S>, when Jehovah shall have done<S>6213</S> to my lord<S>3068</S> according to all the good<S>2896</S> that he hath spoken<S>1696</S> concerning thee<S>6680</S>, and shall have appointed thee prince<S>5057</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
that this shall be no grief<S>6330</S> unto thee<S>4383</S>, nor offence of heart<S>3820</S> unto my lord<S>113</S>, either that thou hast shed<S>8210</S> blood<S>1818</S> without cause<S>2600</S>, or that my lord<S>113</S> hath avenged<S>3467</S> himself<S>3068</S>. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well<S>3190</S> with my lord<S>113</S>, then remember<S>2142</S> thy handmaid<S>519</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abigail<S>26</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, who sent<S>7971</S> thee this day<S>3117</S> to meet me<S>7125</S>:


text:
and blessed<S>1288</S> be thy discretion<S>2940</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> be thou<S>3607</S>, that hast kept me this day<S>3117</S> from<S>935</S> bloodguiltiness<S>1818</S>, and from avenging<S>3467</S> myself with mine own hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For in very deed<S>199</S>, as Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, liveth<S>2416</S>, who hath withholden<S>4513</S> me from hurting<S>7489</S> thee<S>3884</S>, except thou hadst hasted<S>4116</S> and come<S>935</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me<S>3498</S>, surely there had not been left unto Nabal<S>5037</S> by the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> so much as one<S>8366</S> man-child<S>7023</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> received<S>3947</S> of her hand<S>3027</S> that which she had brought<S>935</S> him<S>559</S>: and he said unto her<S>5927</S>, Go up in peace<S>7965</S> to thy house<S>1004</S>; see<S>7200</S>, I have hearkened<S>8085</S> to thy voice<S>6963</S>, and have accepted<S>5375</S> thy person<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Abigail<S>26</S> came<S>935</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S>; and<S>4960</S>, behold, he held a feast in his house<S>1004</S>, like the feast<S>4960</S> of a king<S>4428</S>; and Nabal<S>5037</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was merry<S>2896</S> within him<S>3966</S>, for he was very drunken<S>7910</S>: wherefore she told<S>5046</S> him nothing<S>1697</S>, less<S>6996</S> or more<S>1419</S>, until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, when the wine<S>3196</S> was gone out<S>3318</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S>, that his wife<S>802</S> told<S>5046</S> him these things<S>1697</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> died<S>4191</S> within<S>7130</S> him<S>68</S>, and he became as a stone.


text:
And it came to pass about ten<S>6235</S> days<S>3117</S> after<S>3068</S>, that Jehovah smote<S>5062</S> Nabal<S>5037</S>, so that he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Nabal<S>5037</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, he said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that hath pleaded<S>7378</S> the cause<S>7379</S> of my reproach<S>2781</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S>, and hath kept<S>2820</S> back his servant<S>5650</S> from evil<S>7451</S>: and the evil-doing<S>7451</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> hath Jehovah<S>3068</S> returned<S>7725</S> upon his own head<S>7218</S>. And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and spake<S>1696</S> concerning Abigail<S>26</S>, to take<S>3947</S> her to him to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> that Nabal<S>5037</S> was shearing<S>1494</S> his sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
And when the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> were come<S>935</S> to Abigail<S>26</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, they spake<S>1696</S> unto her<S>559</S>, saying, David<S>1732</S> hath sent<S>7971</S> us unto thee<S>3947</S>, to take thee to him to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And she arose<S>6965</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself with her face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>519</S>, thy handmaid is a servant<S>8198</S> to wash<S>7364</S> the feet<S>7272</S> of the servants<S>8198</S> of my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
And Abigail<S>26</S> hasted<S>4116</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and rode<S>7392</S> upon an ass<S>2543</S>, with five<S>2568</S> damsels<S>5291</S> of hers that<S>1980</S> followed<S>7272</S> her<S>1980</S>; and she went after<S>7272</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and became his wife<S>802</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> also took<S>3947</S> Ahinoam<S>293</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>; and they became both<S>8147</S> of them his wives<S>802</S>.


text:
Now Saul<S>7586</S> had given<S>5414</S> Michal<S>4324</S> his daughter<S>1323</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, to Palti<S>6406</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Laish<S>3919</S>, who was of Gallim<S>1554</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> ten<S>6235</S> young men<S>5288</S>, and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young men<S>5288</S>, Get you up<S>5927</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, and go<S>935</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S>, and greet<S>7592</S> him in my name<S>8034</S>:


text:
and thus shall ye say<S>559</S> to him that liveth<S>2416</S> in prosperity<S>7965</S>, Peace be unto thee<S>7965</S>, and peace be to thy house<S>1004</S>, and peace be unto all that thou hast<S>7965</S>.


text:
And now I have heard<S>8085</S> that thou hast shearers<S>1494</S>: thy shepherds<S>7462</S> have now been with us<S>3637</S>, and we did them no hurt, neither was there aught<S>3972</S> missing<S>6485</S> unto them<S>3117</S>, all the while they were in Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
Ask<S>7592</S> thy young men<S>5288</S>, and they will tell<S>5046</S> thee<S>5288</S>: wherefore let the young men find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>; for we come<S>935</S> in a good<S>2896</S> day<S>3117</S>: give<S>5414</S>, I pray thee<S>4672</S>, whatsoever cometh to thy hand<S>3027</S>, unto thy servants<S>5650</S>, and to thy son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S>'s young men<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, they spake<S>1696</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S> according to all those words<S>1697</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and ceased<S>5117</S>.


text:
And the Ziphites<S>2130</S> came<S>935</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Doth not David<S>1732</S> hide<S>5641</S> himself in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is before<S>6440</S> the desert<S>3452</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> will smite<S>5062</S> him<S>3117</S>; or his day shall come<S>935</S> to die<S>4191</S>; or he shall go<S>935</S> down into battle<S>4421</S> and perish<S>5595</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> that I should put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>: but now take<S>3947</S>, I pray thee<S>2595</S>, the spear that is at his head<S>4763</S>, and the cruse<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the spear<S>2595</S> and the cruse<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>'s head<S>7226</S>; and they gat them away<S>3212</S>: and no man saw<S>7200</S> it<S>3045</S>, nor knew it<S>6974</S>, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep<S>3463</S>, because a deep sleep<S>8639</S> from Jehovah<S>3068</S> was fallen upon them<S>5307</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> went over<S>5674</S> to the other side<S>5676</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S> afar off<S>7350</S>; a great<S>7227</S> space being between them<S>4725</S>;


text:
and David<S>1732</S> cried<S>7121</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, and to Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Answerest<S>6030</S> thou not<S>74</S>, Abner? Then Abner<S>74</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Who art thou that criest<S>7121</S> to the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abner<S>74</S>, Art not thou a valiant man<S>376</S>? and who is like to thee in Israel<S>3478</S>? wherefore then hast thou not kept<S>8104</S> watch over thy lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>? for there came<S>935</S> one<S>259</S> of the people<S>5971</S> in to destroy<S>7843</S> the king<S>4428</S> thy lord<S>113</S>.


text:
This thing<S>1697</S> is not good<S>2896</S> that thou hast done<S>6213</S>. As Jehovah<S>3068</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, ye are worthy<S>1121</S> to die<S>4194</S>, because ye have not kept<S>8104</S> watch over your lord<S>113</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>. And now see<S>7200</S> where the king<S>4428</S>'s spear<S>2595</S> is<S>6835</S>, and the cruse of water<S>4325</S> that was at his head<S>4763</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> knew<S>5234</S> David<S>1732</S>'s voice<S>6963</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Is this thy voice<S>6963</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>? And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, It is my voice<S>6963</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Wherefore doth my lord<S>113</S> pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> his servant<S>5650</S>? for what have I done<S>6213</S>? or what evil<S>7451</S> is in my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Now therefore<S>113</S>, I pray thee, let my lord the king<S>4428</S> hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>. If it be Jehovah<S>3068</S> that hath stirred thee up<S>5496</S> against me<S>7306</S>, let him accept an offering<S>4503</S>: but if it be the children<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>, cursed<S>779</S> be they before<S>6440</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>: for they have driven<S>1644</S> me out this day<S>3117</S> that I should not cleave<S>5596</S> unto the inheritance<S>5159</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>, having three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>1245</S>, to seek David<S>1732</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>1818</S>, let not my blood fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S> away from the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>: for the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> is come out<S>3318</S> to seek<S>1245</S> a<S>259</S> flea<S>6550</S>, as when one doth hunt<S>7291</S> a partridge<S>7124</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>: return<S>7725</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>; for I will no more do thee harm<S>7489</S>, because my life<S>5315</S> was precious<S>3365</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S> this day<S>3117</S>: behold<S>5528</S>, I have played the fool, and have erred<S>7686</S> exceedingly<S>7235</S>.

And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Behold the spear<S>2595</S>, O king<S>4428</S>! let then one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> come over<S>5674</S> and fetch it<S>3947</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> will render<S>7725</S> to every man<S>376</S> his righteousness<S>6666</S> and his faithfulness<S>530</S>; forasmuch as Jehovah<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> thee into my hand<S>3027</S> to-day<S>3117</S>, and I would<S>14</S> not put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against Jehovah<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And<S>5315</S>, behold, as thy life was much set by<S>1431</S> this day<S>3117</S> in mine eyes<S>5869</S>, so let my life<S>5315</S> be much set by<S>1431</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and let him deliver<S>5337</S> me out of all tribulation<S>6869</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be thou<S>1121</S>, my son David<S>1732</S>: thou shalt both do<S>6213</S> mightily<S>6213</S>, and shalt surely<S>3201</S> prevail<S>3201</S>. So David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> his way<S>1870</S>, and Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is before<S>6440</S> the desert<S>3452</S>, by the way<S>1870</S>. But David<S>1732</S> abode<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and he saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> him into the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore sent out<S>7971</S> spies<S>7270</S>, and understood<S>3045</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was come<S>935</S> of a certainty<S>3559</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where Saul<S>7586</S> had encamped<S>2583</S>; and David<S>1732</S> beheld<S>7200</S> the place<S>4725</S> where Saul<S>7586</S> lay<S>7901</S>, and Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of his host<S>6635</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> lay<S>7901</S> within the place<S>4570</S> of the wagons<S>5971</S>, and the people were encamped<S>2583</S> round about him<S>5439</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S> and said<S>559</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>, and to Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, brother<S>251</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Who will go down<S>3381</S> with me to Saul<S>7586</S> to the camp<S>4264</S>? And Abishai<S>52</S> said<S>559</S>, I will go down with thee<S>3381</S>.
