- Bring hither:
- The Septuagint reads Προσαγαγε το εφουδ, οτι αυτος ηρε το εφουδ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ενωπιον Ισραηλ. "Bring hither the ephod; for he bore the ephod on that day before Israel," which Houbigant and others think is the true reading. Finding that his son Jonathan and his armour-bearer were absent, Saul wished to consult the high-priest; but the tumult increasing, he says to him, "Withdraw thine hand:" i.e., desist form consulting the ephod on the present occasion, and immediately hastened to make the best use he could of this astonishing victory. "And when the peopleª were comeª° into¹ the camp,ª the eldersª of Israelª said,ª° Wherefore¹ hath the LORDª smittenª° us to dayª beforeª the Philistines?ª Let us fetchª°¹ the arkª of the covenantª of the LORDª out of Shilohª¹ unto¹ us, that, when it comethª° amongª us, it may saveª° us out of the handª¹ of our enemies.ª° ... And when the arkª of the covenantª of the LORDª cameª° into¹ the camp,ª all¹ Israelª shoutedª° with a greatª shout,ª so that the earthª rang¹ again.²°" {1Sm 4:3-5} + "And Davidª enquiredª° at the LORD,ª saying,ª° Shall I pursueª° afterª this¹ troop?ª shall I overtakeª° them? And he answeredª° him, Pursue:ª° for¹ thou shalt surely²° overtakeª° [them], and without fail²° recoverª° [all]." {1Sm 30:8} + "And he shall standª° beforeª Eleazarª the priest,ª who shall askª° [counsel] for him after the judgmentª of Urimª beforeª the LORD:ª at¹ his wordª shall they go out,ª° and at¹ his wordª they shall come in,ª° [both] he,¹ and all¹ the childrenª of Israelª with¹ him, even all¹ the congregation.ª" {Num 27:21} + "And the childrenª of Israelª arose,ª° and went upª° to the house² of God,ª²° and asked²° counsel¹ of God,ª and said,ª° Whichª of us shall go upª° firstª to the battleª against¹ the childrenª of Benjamin?ª And the LORDª said,ª° Judahª [shall go up] first.ª" {Jdg 20:18} + "(And the childrenª of Israelª went upª° and weptª° beforeª the LORDª until¹ even,ª and asked²° counsel¹ of the LORD,ª saying,ª° Shall I go upª° againª° to battleª against¹ the childrenª of Benjaminª my brother?ª And the LORDª said,ª° Go upª° against¹ him.)" {Jdg 20:23} + "And the childrenª of Israelª enquiredª° of the LORD,ª (for the arkª of the covenantª of Godª [was] there¹ in those¹ days,ª ... And Phinehas,ª the sonª of Eleazar,ª the sonª of Aaron,ª stoodª° beforeª it in those¹ days,)ª saying,ª° Shall I yet¹ againª° go outª° to battleª against¹ the childrenª of Benjaminª my brother,ª or¹ shall I cease?ª° And the LORDª said,ª° Go up;ª° for¹ to morrowª I will deliverª° them into thine hand.ª" {Jdg 20:27-28} + "And Uriahª saidª° unto¹ David,ª The ark,ª and Israel,ª and Judah,ª abideª° in tents;ª and my lordª Joab,ª and the servantsª of my lord,ª are encampedª° in¹ the openª fields;ª shall Iª then goª° into¹ mine house,ª to eatª° and to drink,ª° and to lieª° with¹ my wife?ª [as] thou livest,ª and [as] thy soulª liveth,ª I will not doª°¹ this¹ thing.ª" {2Sm 11:11} + "And lo¹ Zadokª also,¹ and all¹ the Levitesª [were] with¹ him, bearingª°¹ the arkª of the covenantª of God:ª and they set downª°¹ the arkª of God;ª and Abiatharª went up,ª° until¹ all¹ the peopleª had doneª° passingª° out of¹ the city.ª ... But if¹ he thus¹ say,ª° I have no¹ delightª° in thee; behold,¹ [here am] I, let him doª° to me as¹ seemethª goodª unto him." {2Sm 15:24-26}
