1 Samuel 10:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Then, from a flask he had with him, Samuel poured oil on Saul's head; he also kissed him, saying: "The LORD anoints you commander over his heritage. You are to govern the LORD'S people Israel, and to save them from the grasp of their enemies round about. "This will be the sign for you that the LORD has anointed you commander over his heritage:
2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel's tomb at Zelzah in the territory of Benjamin, who will say to you, 'The asses you went to look for have been found. Your father is no longer worried about the asses, but is anxious about you and says, What shall I do about my son?'
3 Farther on, when you arrive at the terebinth of Tabor, you will be met by three men going up to God at Bethel; one will be bringing three kids, another three loaves of bread, and the third a skin of wine.
4 They will greet you and offer you two wave offerings of bread, which you will take from them.
5 After that you will come to Gibeath-elohim, where there is a garrison of the Philistines. As you enter that city, you will meet a band of prophets, in a prophetic state, coming down from the high place preceded by lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps.
6 The spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will join them in their prophetic state and will be changed into another man.
7 When you see these signs fulfilled, do whatever you judge feasible, because God is with you.
8 Now go down ahead of me to Gilgal, for I shall come down to you, to offer holocausts and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you; I shall then tell you what you must do."
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God gave him another heart. That very day all these signs came to pass....
10 When they were going from there to Gibeah, a band of prophets met him, and the spirit of God rushed upon him, so that he joined them in their prophetic state.
11 When all who had known him previously saw him in a prophetic state among the prophets, they said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"
12 And someone from that district added, "And who is their father?" Thus the proverb arose, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
13 When he came out of the prophetic state, he went home.
14 Saul's uncle inquired of him and his servant, "Where have you been?" Saul replied, "To look for the asses. When we could not find them, we went to Samuel."
15 Then Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, then, what Samuel said to you."
16 Saul said to his uncle, "He assured us that the asses had been found." But he mentioned nothing to him of what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17 Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah
18 and addressed the Israelites: "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'It was I who brought Israel up from Egypt and delivered you from the power of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.'
19 But today you have rejected your God, who delivers you from all your evils and calamities, by saying to him, 'Not so, but you must appoint a king over us.' Now, therefore, take your stand before the LORD according to tribes and families."
20 So Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
21 Next he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward in clans, and the clan of Matri was chosen, and finally Saul, son of Kish, was chosen. But they looked for him in vain.
22 Again they consulted the LORD, "Has he come here?" The LORD answered, "He is hiding among the baggage."
23 They ran to bring him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was head and shoulders above all the crowd.
24 Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see the man whom the LORD has chosen? There is none like him among all the people!" Then all the people shouted, "Long live the king!"
25 Samuel next explained to the people the law of royalty and wrote it in a book, which he placed in the presence of the LORD. This done, Samuel dismissed the people, each to his own place.
26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, accompanied by warriors whose hearts the LORD had touched.
27 But certain worthless men said, "How can this fellow save us?" They despised him and brought him no present.
1 Then Samuel H8050 took H3947 W-VQY3MS a vial H6378 of oil H8081 , and poured H3332 it upon H5921 PREP his head H7218 CMS-3MS , and kissed H5401 him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is it not H3808 D-NPAR because H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath anointed H4886 thee to be captain H5057 over H5921 PREP his inheritance H5159 ?
2 When thou art departed H1980 from PREP me today H3117 D-AMS , then thou shalt find H4672 two H8147 ONUM men H376 NMP by H5973 PREP Rachel H7354 \'s sepulcher H6900 in the border H1366 of Benjamin H1144 at Zelzah H6766 ; and they will say H559 W-VQQ3MP unto H413 PREP-2MS thee , The asses H860 which H834 RPRO thou wentest H1980 to seek H1245 are found H4672 : and , lo H2009 IJEC , thy father H1 NMS hath left H5203 the care H1697 CMP of the asses H860 , and sorroweth H1672 for you , saying H559 L-VQFC , What H4100 IGAT shall I do H6213 for my son H1121 ?
3 Then shalt thou go on H2498 forward H1973 from thence H8033 M-ADV , and thou shalt come H935 W-VQQ2MS to H5704 PREP the plain H436 CMS of Tabor H8396 , and there H8033 shall meet H4672 thee three H7969 NFS men H376 going up H5927 to H413 PREP God H430 D-EDP to Bethel H1008 LFS , one H259 MMS carrying H5375 three H7969 NFS kids H1423 , and another H259 carrying H5375 three H7969 NFS loaves H3603 of bread H3899 NMS , and another H259 carrying H5375 a bottle H5035 of wine H3196 :
4 And they will salute H7592 thee , and give H5414 thee two H8147 ONUM loaves of bread H3899 NMS ; which thou shalt receive H3947 of their hands H3027 .
5 After that ADV thou shalt come H935 VQY2MS to the hill H1389 of God H430 D-EDP , where H834 RPRO is the garrison H5333 of the Philistines H6430 : and it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQI3MS , when thou art come H935 VQY2MS thither H8033 ADV to the city H5892 D-GFS , that thou shalt meet H6293 a company H2256 of prophets H5030 coming down H3381 from the high place H1116 with a psaltery H5035 , and a tabret H8596 , and a pipe H2485 , and a harp H3658 W-NMS , before H6440 them ; and they H1992 shall prophesy H5012 :
6 And the Spirit H7307 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS will come H6743 upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee , and thou shalt prophesy H5012 with them H5973 PREP-3MP , and shalt be turned H2015 into another H312 man H376 L-NMS .
7 And let it be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H3588 CONJ these H428 D-DPRO-3MP signs H226 are come H935 unto thee , that thou do H6213 VQI2MS as occasion serve H834 RPRO thee ; for H3588 CONJ God H430 D-EDP is with H5973 PREP-2FS thee .
8 And thou shalt go down H3381 before H6440 L-CMP me to Gilgal H1537 ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS will come down H3381 unto H413 PREP-2MS thee , to offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 CFP , and to sacrifice H2076 sacrifices H2077 of peace offerings H8002 : seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP shalt thou tarry H3176 , till H5704 PREP I come H935 to H413 PREP-2MS thee , and show H3045 thee what H834 RPRO thou shalt do H6213 VQY2MS .
9 And it was H1961 W-VQQ3MS so , that when he had turned H6437 his back H7926 to go H1980 L-VQFC from M-PREP Samuel H8050 , God H430 EDP gave H2015 him another H312 AMS heart H3820 NMS : and all H3605 NMS those H428 D-DPRO-3MP signs H226 came to pass H935 W-VQY3MP that H1931 day H3117 B-AMS .
10 And when they came H935 W-VQY3MP thither H8033 ADV to the hill H1389 , behold H2009 IJEC , a company H2256 of prophets H5030 met H7125 him ; and the Spirit H7307 NFS of God H430 EDP came H6743 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , and he prophesied H5012 among H8432 B-CMS-3MP them .
11 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when all H3605 NMS that knew H3045 him formerly H865 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP that , behold H2009 IJEC , he prophesied H5012 among H5973 PREP the prophets H5030 , then the people H5971 said H559 W-VQY3MS one H376 NMS to H413 PREP another H7453 NMS-3MS , What H4100 IPRO is this H2088 PMS that is come H1961 VQQ3MS unto the son H1121 of Kish H7027 ? Is Saul H7586 also H1571 CONJ among the prophets H5030 ?
12 And one H376 NMS of the same place H8033 M-ADV answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , But who H4310 W-IPRO is their father H1 CMS-3MP ? Therefore H5921 PREP it became H1961 VQQ3FS a proverb H4912 , Is Saul H7586 also H1571 CONJ among the prophets H5030 ?
13 And when he had made an end H3615 W-VPY3MS of prophesying H5012 , he came H935 W-VQY3MS to the high place H1116 .
14 And Saul H7586 \'s uncle H1730 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him and to H413 PREP his servant H5288 , Whither H575 ADV went H1980 ye ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , To seek H1245 the asses H860 : and when we saw H7200 that H3588 CONJ they were no where H369 ADV , we came H935 to H413 PREP Samuel H8050 .
15 And Saul H7586 \'s uncle H1730 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Tell H5046 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , what H4100 IGAT Samuel H8050 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto you .
16 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP his uncle H1730 , He told us plainly H5046 VHI2MS that H3588 CONJ the asses H860 were found H4672 . But of the matter H1697 CMS of the kingdom H4410 , whereof H834 RPRO Samuel H8050 spoke H559 W-VQY3MS , he told H5046 VHQ3MS him not H3808 ADV .
17 And Samuel H8050 called the people together H6817 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS to Mizpeh H4709 ;
18 And said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , I H595 PPRO-1MS brought up H5927 Israel H3478 out of Egypt H4714 , and delivered H5337 you out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the Egyptians H4714 EFS , and out of the hand H3027 WM-GFS of all H3605 NMS kingdoms H4467 , and of them that oppressed H3905 you :
19 And ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP have this day H3117 D-AMS rejected H3988 your God H430 , who H834 RPRO himself H1931 PPRO-3MS saved H3467 you out of all H3605 M-CMS your adversities H7451 and your tribulations H6869 ; and ye have said H559 unto him , Nay , but H3588 CONJ set H7760 VQY2MS a king H4428 NMS over H5921 PREP-1MP us . Now H6258 W-ADV therefore present yourselves H3320 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS by your tribes H7626 , and by your thousands H505 .
20 And when Samuel H8050 had caused all H3605 NMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to come near H7126 , the tribe H7626 CMS of Benjamin H1144 was taken H3920 .
21 When he had caused the tribe H7626 CMS of Benjamin H1144 to come near H7126 by their families H4940 , the family H4940 of Matri H4309 was taken H3920 , and Saul H7586 the son H1121 of Kish H7027 was taken H3920 : and when they sought H1245 him , he could not H3808 W-NPAR be found H4672 .
22 Therefore they inquired H7592 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS further H5750 ADV , if the man H376 NMS should yet H5750 ADV come H935 thither H1988 . And the LORD H3068 EDS answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 IJEC , he H1931 PPRO-3MS hath hid himself H2244 among H413 PREP the stuff H3627 .
23 And they ran H7323 and fetched H3947 him thence H8033 M-ADV : and when he stood H3320 among H8432 B-NMS the people H5971 , he was higher H1361 than any H3605 M-CMS of the people H5971 from his shoulders H7926 and upward H4605 .
24 And Samuel H8050 said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , See H7200 ye him whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath chosen H977 , that H3588 CONJ there is none H369 NPAR like him H3644 PART-3MS among all H3605 NMS the people H5971 ? And all H3605 NMS the people H5971 shouted H7321 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , God save H2421 the king H4428 .
25 Then Samuel H8050 told H1696 W-VPY3MS the people H5971 the manner H4941 CMS of the kingdom H4410 , and wrote H3789 it in a book H5612 BD-NMS , and laid it up H5117 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS . And Samuel H8050 sent H7971 W-VPY3MS all H3605 NMS the people H5971 away , every man H376 NMS to his house H1004 .
26 And Saul H7586 also H1571 W-CONJ went H1980 VQQ3MS home H1004 L-CMS-3MS to Gibeah H1390 ; and there went H1980 W-VQY3MP with H5973 PREP-3MS him a band of men H2428 , whose H834 RPRO hearts H3820 God H430 EDP had touched H5060 .
27 But the children H1121 W-CMP of Belial H1100 said H559 VQQ3MP , How H4100 IPRO shall this H2088 DPRO man save H3467 us ? And they despised H959 him , and brought H935 him no H3808 W-NPAR presents H4503 NFS . But he held his peace H2790 .
