  15:1 ¶
And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee king over Israel: and now hear the voice of the Lord. |
|
15:1 ¶
Samuel°
also said°°
unto°
Saul,°
Yahweh°
sent°°
me to anoint°°
thee [to be] king°
over°
his people,°
over°
Israel:°
now°
therefore hearken°°
thou unto the voice°
of the words°
of Yahweh.° |
|
15:2
Thus said the Lord of hosts, Now will I take vengeance for what Amalek{gr.Amalec} did to Israel, when he met him in the way as he came up out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}. |
|
15:2
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
I remember°°
[that]°
which°
Amalek°
did°°
to Israel,°
how°
he laid°°
[wait] for him in the way,°
when he came up°°
from Egypt.°° |
|
15:3
And now go, and thou shalt smite Amalek{gr.Amalec} and Hierim and all that belongs to him, and thou shalt not save anything of him alive, but thou shalt utterly destroy him: and thou shalt devote him and all his to [destruction], and thou shalt spare nothing belonging to him; and thou shalt slay both man and woman, and infant and suckling, and calf and sheep, and camel and ass. |
|
15:3
Now°
go°°°
and smite°°°
Amalek,°
and utterly destroy°°°
all°
that°
they have, and spare°°°
them not;°
but slay°°
both man°°
and°
woman,°
infant°°
and suckling,°°
ox°°
and sheep,°
camel°°
and ass.° |
|
15:4
And Saul summoned the people, and he numbered them in Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, four hundred thousand regular troops, and Judah{gr.Juda} thirty thousand regular troops. |
|
15:4
And Saul°
gathered°°
the people°
together,°°°°
and numbered°°
them in Telaim,°
two hundred°
thousand°
footmen,°
and ten°
thousand°°
men°
of Judah.° |
|
15:5
And Saul came to the cities of Amalek{gr.Amalec}, and laid wait in the valley. |
|
15:5
And Saul°
came°°
to°
a city°
of Amalek,°
and laid wait°°°°
in the valley.° |
|
15:6 ¶
And Saul said to the Kinite, Go, and depart out of the midst of the Amalekites, lest I put thee with them; for thou dealedst mercifully with the children of Israel when they went up out of Mizraim{gr.Egypt}. So the Kinite departed from the midst of Amalek{gr.Amalec}. |
|
15:6 ¶
And Saul°
said°°
unto°
the Kenites,°
Go,°°°
depart,°°
get you down°°
from among°°
the Amalekites,°
lest°
I destroy°°
you with°
them: for ye°
shewed°°
kindness°
to°
all°
the children°
of Israel,°
when they came up°°
out of Egypt.°°
So the Kenites°
departed°°
from among°°
the Amalekites.° |
|
15:7
And Saul smote Amalek{gr.Amalec} from Evilat to Shur{gr.Sur} fronting Mizraim{gr.Egypt}. |
|
15:7
And Saul°
smote°°°
the Amalekites°
from Havilah°°
[until] thou comest°°
to Shur,°
that°
[is] over°
against°
Egypt.° |
|
15:8
And he took Agag the king of Amalek{gr.Amalec} alive, and he slew all the people and Hierim with the edge of the sword. |
|
15:8
And he took°°°
Agag°
the king°
of the Amalekites°
alive,°
and utterly destroyed°°
all°
the people°
with the edge°
of the sword.° |
|
15:9
And Saul and all the people saved Agag alive, and the best of the flocks, and of the herds, and of the fruits, of the vineyards, and of all the good things; and they would not destroy them: but every worthless and refuse thing they destroyed. |
|
15:9
But Saul°
and the people°
spared°°°
Agag,°
and the best°
of the sheep,°
and of the oxen,°
and of the fatlings,°
and the lambs,°
and all°
[that was] good,°
and would°°
not°
utterly destroy°°
them: but every°
thing°
[that was] vile°
and refuse,°°
that they destroyed utterly.°° |
|
15:10 ¶
And the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, |
|
15:10 ¶
Then came°
the word°
of Yahweh°
unto°
Samuel,°
saying,°° |
|
15:11
I have repented that I have made Saul to be king: for he has turned back from following me, and has not kept my word. And Samuel was grieved, and cried to the Lord all night. |
|
15:11
It repenteth°°
me°
that°
I have set up°°°
Saul°
[to be] king:°
for°
he is turned back°°
from following°°
me, and hath not°
performed°°
my commandments.°
And it grieved°°
Samuel;°
and he cried°°
unto°
Yahweh°
all°
night.° |
|
15:12
And Samuel rose early and went to meet Israel in the morning, and it was told Saul, saying, Samuel has come to Carmel, and he has raised up help for himself: and he turned his chariot, and came down to Gilgal{gr.Galgala} to Saul; and, behold, he was offering up a whole-burnt-offering to the Lord, the chief of the spoils which he brought out of Amalek{gr.Amalec}. |
|
15:12
And when Samuel°
rose early°°
to meet°°
Saul°
in the morning,°
it was told°°
Samuel,°
saying,°°
Saul°
came°°
to Carmel,°
and, behold,°
he set him up°°
a place,°
and is gone about,°°
and passed on,°°
and gone down°°
to Gilgal.° |
|
15:13
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed [art] thou of the Lord: I have performed all that the Lord said. |
|
15:13
And Samuel°
came°°
to°
Saul:°
and Saul°
said°°
unto him, Blessed°°
[be] thou°
of Yahweh:°
I have performed°°°
the commandment°
of Yahweh.° |
|
15:14
And Samuel said, What then [is] the bleating of this flock in my ears, and the sound of the oxen which I hear? |
|
15:14
And Samuel°
said,°°
What°
[meaneth] then this°
bleating°
of the sheep°
in mine ears,°
and the lowing°
of the oxen°
which°
I°
hear?°° |
|
15:15
And Saul said, I have brought them out of Amalek{gr.Amalec}, that which the people preserved, even the best of the sheep, and of the cattle, that it might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, and the rest have I utterly destroyed. |
|
15:15
And Saul°
said,°°
They have brought°°
them from the Amalekites:°°
for°
the people°
spared°°°
the best°
of the sheep°
and of the oxen,°
to sacrifice°°°
unto Yahweh°
thy Elohim;°
and the rest°°
we have utterly destroyed.°° |
|
15:16
And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord has said to me this night: and he said to him, Say on. |
|
15:16
Then Samuel°
said°°
unto°
Saul,°
Stay,°°
and I will tell°°
thee°
what°
Yahweh°
hath said°°
to°
me this night.°
And he said°°
unto him, Say on.°° |
|
15:17
And Samuel said to Saul, Art thou not little in his eyes, [though] a leader of one of the tribes of Israel? and [yet] the Lord anointed thee to be king over Israel. |
|
15:17
And Samuel°
said,°°
When°
thou°
[wast] little°
in thine own sight,°
[wast] thou°
not°
[made] the head°
of the tribes°
of Israel,°
and Yahweh°
anointed°°
thee king°
over°
Israel?° |
|
15:18
And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said to thee, Go, and utterly destroy: thou shalt slay the sinners against me, [even] the Amalekites; and thou shalt war against them until thou have consumed them. |
|
15:18
And Yahweh°
sent°°
thee on a journey,°
and said,°°
Go°°°
and utterly destroy°°°
the sinners°°
the Amalekites,°
and fight°°
against them until°
they be consumed.°° |
|
15:19
And why didst not thou hearken to the voice of the Lord, but didst haste to fasten upon the spoils, and didst that which was evil in the sight of the Lord? |
|
15:19
Wherefore°
then didst thou not°
obey°°
the voice°
of Yahweh,°
but didst fly°°
upon°
the spoil,°
and didst°°
evil°
in the sight°
of Yahweh?° |
|
15:20
And Saul said to Samuel, Because I listened to the voice of the people: yet I went the way by which the Lord sent me, and I brought Agag the king of Amalek{gr.Amalec}, and I destroyed Amalek{gr.Amalec}. |
|
15:20
And Saul°
said°°
unto°
Samuel,°
Yea,°
I have obeyed°°
the voice°
of Yahweh,°
and have gone°°°
the way°
which°
Yahweh°
sent°°
me, and have brought°°°
Agag°
the king°
of Amalek,°
and have utterly destroyed°°
the Amalekites.° |
|
15:21
But the people took of the spoils the best flocks and herds [out] of that which was destroyed, to sacrifice before the Lord our God in Gilgal{gr.Galgal}. |
|
15:21
But the people°
took°°
of the spoil,°°
sheep°
and oxen,°
the chief°
of the things which should have been utterly destroyed,°
to sacrifice°°
unto Yahweh°
thy Elohim°
in Gilgal.° |
|
15:22
And Samuel said, Does the Lord take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in hearing the words of the Lord? behold, obedience [is] better than a good sacrifice, and hearkening than the fat of rams. |
|
15:22
And Samuel°
said,°°
Hath Yahweh°
[as great] delight°
in burnt offerings°
and sacrifices,°
as in obeying°°
the voice°
of Yahweh?°
Behold,°
to obey°°
[is] better°
than sacrifice,°°
[and] to hearken°°
than the fat°°
of rams.° |
|
15:23
For sin is [as] divination; idols bring on pain and grief. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, the Lord also shall reject thee from being king over Israel. |
|
15:23
For°
rebellion°
[is as] the sin°
of witchcraft,°
and stubbornness°°
[is as] iniquity°
and idolatry.°
Because°
thou hast rejected°°°
the word°
of Yahweh,°
he hath also rejected°°
thee from [being] king.°° |
|
15:24 ¶
And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, in that I have transgressed the word of the Lord and thy direction; for I feared the people, and I hearkened to their voice. |
|
15:24 ¶
And Saul°
said°°
unto°
Samuel,°
I have sinned:°°
for°
I have transgressed°°°
the commandment°
of Yahweh,°
and thy words:°
because°
I feared°°°
the people,°
and obeyed°°
their voice.° |
|
15:25
And now remove, I pray thee, my sin, and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God. |
|
15:25
Now°
therefore, I pray thee,°
pardon°°°
my sin,°
and turn again°°
with°
me, that I may worship°°
Yahweh.° |
|
15:26
And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn back with thee, for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord will reject thee from being king over Israel. |
|
15:26
And Samuel°
said°°
unto°
Saul,°
I will not°
return°°
with°
thee: for°
thou hast rejected°°°
the word°
of Yahweh,°
and Yahweh°
hath rejected°°
thee from being°°
king°
over°
Israel.° |
|
15:27
And Samuel turned his face to depart, and Saul caught hold of the skirt of his garment, and tore it. |
|
15:27
And as Samuel°
turned about°°
to go away,°°°
he laid hold°°
upon the skirt°
of his mantle,°
and it rent.°° |
|
15:28
And Samuel said to him, The Lord has rent thy kingdom from Israel out of thy hand this day, and will give it to thy neighbour who is better than thou. |
|
15:28
And Samuel°
said°°
unto°
him, Yahweh°
hath rent°°°
the kingdom°
of Israel°
from°°
thee this day,°
and hath given°°
it to a neighbour°
of thine, [that is] better°
than°
thou. |
|
15:29
And Israel shall be divided to two: and [God] will not turn nor repent, for he is not as a man to repent. |
|
15:29
And also°
the Strength°
of Israel°
will not°
lie°°
nor°
repent:°°
for°
he [is] not°
a man,°
that he°
should repent.°° |
|
15:30
And Saul said, I have sinned; yet honour me, I pray thee, before the elders of Israel, and before my people; and turn back with me, and I will worship the Lord thy God. |
|
15:30
Then he said,°°
I have sinned:°°
[yet] honour°°
me now,°
I pray thee,°
before°
the elders°
of my people,°
and before°
Israel,°
and turn again°°
with°
me, that I may worship°°
Yahweh°
thy Elohim.° |
|
15:31
So Samuel turned back after Saul, and he worshipped the Lord. |
|
15:31
So Samuel°
turned again°°
after°
Saul;°
and Saul°
worshipped°°
Yahweh.° |
|
15:32 ¶
And Samuel said, Bring me Agag the king of Amalek{gr.Amalec}: and Agag came to him trembling; and Agag said Is death thus bitter? |
|
15:32 ¶
Then said°°
Samuel,°
Bring ye hither°°
to°
me°
Agag°
the king°
of the Amalekites.°
And Agag°
came°°°
unto°
him delicately.°
And Agag°
said,°°
Surely°
the bitterness°
of death°
is past.°° |
|
15:33
And Samuel said to Agag, As thy sword has bereaved women of their children, so shall thy mother be made childless among women: and Samuel slew Agag before the Lord in Gilgal{gr.Galgal}. |
|
15:33
And Samuel°
said,°°
As°
thy sword°
hath made women°
childless,°°
so°
shall thy mother°
be childless°°
among women.°°
And Samuel°
hewed°°
Agag°
in pieces°°°°
before°
Yahweh°
in Gilgal.° |
|
15:34 ¶
And Samuel departed to Armathaim, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah{gr.Gabaa}. |
|
15:34 ¶
Then Samuel°
went°°°
to Ramah;°
and Saul°
went up°°
to°
his house°
to Gibeah°
of Saul.° |
|
15:35
And Samuel did not see Saul again till the day of his death, for Samuel mourned after Saul, and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel. |
|
15:35
And Samuel°
came no°
more°°
to see°°°
Saul°
until°
the day°
of his death:°
nevertheless°
Samuel°
mourned°°
for°
Saul:°
and Yahweh°
repented°°
that°
he had made Saul°
king°°°°
over°
Israel.° |
