- Then said the priest:
- It is evident that Ahiah, who had before been interrupted by Saul's impatience, doubted of the propriety of pursuing the Philistines that night, and properly counselled them to enquire of the Lord. "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} + "But² [it¹ is] goodª for me to draw nearª to God:ª I have putª° my trustª in the Lordª GOD,ª that I may declareª° all¹ thy works.ª" {Psa 73:28} + "Hearª° ye this,¹ O houseª of Jacob,ª which are calledª° by the nameª of Israel,ª and are come forthª° out of the watersª¹ of Judah,ª which swearª° by the nameª of the LORD,ª and make mentionª° of the Godª of Israel,ª [but] not¹ in truth,ª nor¹ in righteousness.ª ... For¹ they call²° themselves¹ of the holyª city,ª¹ and stay²° themselves¹ upon¹ the Godª of Israel;ª The LORDª of hostsª [is] his name.ª" {Isa 48:1-2} + "Yet they seekª° me daily,ª and delightª° to knowª my ways,ª as a nationª that¹ didª° righteousness,ª and forsookª° not¹ the ordinanceª of their God:ª they askª° of me the ordinancesª of justice;ª they take delightª° in approachingª to God.ª" {Isa 58:2} + "For¹ the priest'sª lipsª should keepª° knowledge,ª and they should seekª° the lawª at his mouth:ª¹ for¹ he¹ [is] the messengerª of the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Mal 2:7} + "Draw nighª° to God,ª andª he will draw nighª° to you.ª Cleanseª° [your] hands,ª [ye] sinners;ª andª purifyª° [your] hearts,ª [ye] double minded.ª" {Jms 4:8}
