1 And [G2532 ] there was a man from [G1537 ] the [G3588 ] sons [G5207 ] of Benjamin, and [G2532 ] name [G3686 ] of him [G1473 ] [was] Kish, son [G5207 ] of Abiel, son [G5207 ] of Zeror, son [G5207 ] of Bechorath, son [G5207 ] of Aphiah, son [G5207 ] of a man of Benjamin, man a mighty [G1415 ] in [G1722 ] strength [G2479 ] . 2 And [G2532 ] to this one [was [G3778 ] a son [G5207 ] , and [G2532 ] name [G3686 ] of him [G1473 ] [was] Saul, a huge man goodly , and [G2532 ] there was not [G3756 ] among [G1722 ] sons [G5207 ] of Israel one good above [G5228 ] him [G1473 ] . He [was] head and shoulders and [G2532 ] above [G1883 ] high [G5308 ] over [G5228 ] all [G3956 ] the [G3588 ] land '[G1093 ] . 3 And [G2532 ] were lost the [G3588 ] donkeys [G3688 ] of Kish the [G3588 ] father [G3962 ] of Saul]. And [G2532 ] Kish said [G2036 ] to [G4314 ] Saul the [G3588 ] son [G5207 ] of him [G1473 ] , Take [G2983 ] with [G3326 ] yourself [G4572 ] one [G1520 ] of the [G3588 ] servant-lads [G3808 ] , and [G2532 ] rise up and [G2532 ] go [G4198 ] and [G2532 ] seek [G2212 ] the [G3588 ] donkeys [G3688 ] ! 4 And [G2532 ] they went [G1330 ] through [G1223 ] raised-place (mountain) '[G3735 ] Ephraim. And [G2532 ] they went [G1330 ] through [G1223 ] the [G3588 ] land '[G1093 ] of Shalitha, and [G2532 ] they did not [G3756 ] find [G2147 ] . And [G2532 ] they went [G1330 ] through [G1223 ] the [G3588 ] land '[G1093 ] of Shalim, and [G2532 ] it was not [G3756 ] . And [G2532 ] they went [G1330 ] through [G1223 ] the [G3588 ] land '[G1093 ] of Benjamin, and [G2532 ] they did not [G3756 ] find [G2147 ] . 5 And of their [G1473 ] [G1161 ] coming [G2064 ] unto [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] Zuph, and [G2532 ] Saul said [G2036 ] [to the [G3588 ] his servant-lad [G3808 ] [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] with [G3326 ] him [G1473 ] , Come [G1204 ] , for [G2532 ] we should return , lest [G3361 ] sparing the [G3588 ] father [G3962 ] of me [G1473 ] concerning [G4012 ] the [G3588 ] donkeys [G3688 ] , should be thoughtful [G5431 ] the [G3588 ] concerning [G4012 ] us [G1473 ] . 6 And [G2532 ] said [G2036 ] to him [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] servant-lad [G3808 ] , look [G2400 ] , indeed [G1211 ] a man of God '[G2316 ] [is] in [G1722 ] the [G3588 ] this city [G4172 ] [G3778 ] , and [G2532 ] the [G3588 ] man is honorable [G1741 ] , all [G3956 ] what [G3739 ] ever he should speak [G2980 ] , coming [G3854 ] will be at hand [G3918 ] . And [G2532 ] now [G3568 ] , we should go [G4198 ] there [G1563 ] , so that [G3704 ] he should report to us [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] our way [G3598 ] [G1473 ] , upon [G1909 ] which [G3739 ] we should go [G4198 ] upon [G1909 ] it [G1473 ] . 7 And [G2532 ] Saul said [G2036 ] to the [G3588 ] his servant-lad [G3808 ] [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] with [G3326 ] him [G1473 ] , Yes [G2532 ] , look [G2400 ] , we will go [G4198 ] . But [G2532 ] what [G5100 ] will we carry in [G1533 ] to the [G3588 ] man of the [G3588 ] God '[G2316 ] , for [G3754 ] the [G3588 ] bread [loaves have failed [G1587 ] from out of [G1537 ] the [G3588 ] our containers [G1473 ] , and [G2532 ] much [G4183 ] there not [G3756 ] is with [G3326 ] us [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] to carry [G1533 ] to the [G3588 ] man of the [G3588 ] God '[G2316 ] that the [G3588 ] exists [G5224 ] to us [G1473 ] ? 8 And [G2532 ] proceeded [G4369 ] the [G3588 ] servant-lad [G3808 ] to answer the [G3588 ] Saul, and [G2532 ] said [G2036 ] , look [G2400 ] , there is found [G2147 ] in [G1722 ] the [G3588 ] my hand [G5495 ] [G1473 ] a fourth [G5067 ] shekel of silver ; and [G2532 ] you will give [it [G1325 ] to the [G3588 ] man of the [G3588 ] God '[G2316 ] , and [G2532 ] he will report to us [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] our way [G3598 ] [G1473 ] . 9 And [G2532 ] before [G1715 ] in [G1722 ] Israel, thus [G3592 ] said [G3004 ] each [G1538 ] man in [G1722 ] their the [G3588 ] going [G4198 ] to ask [G1905 ] the [G3588 ] God '[G2316 ] , Come [G1204 ] , and [G2532 ] we should go [G4198 ] to [G4314 ] the [G3588 ] seer . For [G3754 ] the [G3588 ] prophet [G4396 ] was called [G2564 ] by the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] before [G1715 ] , The Seer . 10 And [G2532 ] Saul said [G2036 ] to [G4314 ] the [G3588 ] his servant-lad [G3808 ] [G1473 ] , [is] good the [G3588 ] your word [G4487 ] [G1473 ] . Come [G1204 ] , for [G2532 ] we should go [G4198 ] . And [G2532 ] they went [G4198 ] into [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] of which [G3739 ] was there [G1563 ] the [G3588 ] man , the [G3588 ] [one] [of the [G3588 ] God '[G2316 ] . 11 In their [G1473 ] going up the [G3588 ] ascent of the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , and [G2532 ] they [G1473 ] found [G2147 ] young women [G2877 ] going forth [G1831 ] to draw water [G5204 ] . And [G2532 ] they say [G3004 ] to them [G1473 ] , Is there [G1487 ] here the [G3588 ] seer ? 12 And [G2532 ] answered the [G3588 ] young women [G2877 ] them [G1473 ] , and [G2532 ] they said [G2036 ] , He is , look [G2400 ] , in front [G4253 ] [G4383 ] of you [G1473 ] . Hasten ! For [G3754 ] now [G3568 ] he comes [G2240 ] into [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , because of [G1223 ] the [G3588 ] day [G2250 ] , for [G3754 ] a sacrifice [G2378 ] today [G4594 ] for the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] in [G1722 ] Bama. 13 As [G5613 ] soon as you enter [G1525 ] into [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , thus [G3779 ] you will find [G2147 ] him [G1473 ] in [G1722 ] the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , before [G4250 ] his going up [G1473 ] unto [G1519 ] Bama the [G3588 ] to eat [G2068 ] ; for [G3754 ] in no way should eat [G2068 ] the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] until [G2193 ] the [G3588 ] his entering [G1525 ] [G1473 ] . For [G3754 ] this one [G3778 ] blesses [G2127 ] the [G3588 ] sacrifice [G2378 ] . And [G2532 ] after [G3326 ] these [things] [G3778 ] eat [G2068 ] the [G3588 ] strangers [G3581 ] . And [G2532 ] now [G3568 ] , go up ! for [G3754 ] on account of [G1223 ] the [G3588 ] day [G2250 ] you will find [G2147 ] him [G1473 ] . 14 And [G2532 ] they go up into [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] . And they [G1473 ] [G1161 ] were entering [G1531 ] in [G1519 ] midst [G3319 ] of the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , and [G2532 ] look [G2400 ] , Samuel came forth [G1831 ] for [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] meeting them [G1473 ] , the [G3588 ] to go up unto [G1519 ] Bama. 15 And [G2532 ] Boss '[G2962 ] uncovered the [G3588 ] ear [G5621 ] of Samuel day [G2250 ] one [G1520 ] before [G1715 ] the [G3588 ] came [G2064 ] to [G4314 ] him [G1473 ] Saul], saying [G3004 ] , 16 At [G5613 ] the [G3588 ] this time [G2540 ] [G3778 ] tomorrow I will send to [G4314 ] you [G1473 ] a man from [G1537 ] land '[G1093 ] of Benjamin, and [G2532 ] you will anoint [G5548 ] him [G1473 ] for [G1519 ] ruler over [G1909 ] the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] of me [G1473 ] Israel, and [G2532 ] he will deliver [G4982 ] the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] of me [G1473 ] from [G1537 ] hand [G5495 ] of Philistines . For [G3754 ] I looked [G1914 ] upon [G1909 ] the [G3588 ] humiliation [G5014 ] of the [G3588 ] my people [G2992 ] [G1473 ] , for [G3754 ] came [G2064 ] the [G3588 ] ir yelling [G1473 ] to [G4314 ] me [G1473 ] . 17 And [G2532 ] Samuel looked [at] [G1492 ] the [G3588 ] Saul, and [G2532 ] Boss '[G2962 ] answered him [G1473 ] , look [G2400 ] , the [G3588 ] man whom [G3739 ] I said [G2036 ] to you [G1473 ] , This one [G3778 ] will rule over [G1909 ] the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] of me [G1473 ] . 18 And [G2532 ] Saul came [G4334 ] to [G4314 ] Samuel in [G1519 ] midst [G3319 ] of the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , and [G2532 ] he said [G2036 ] , Report indeed [G1211 ] to me [G1473 ] , of what [G4169 ] the [G3588 ] house [G3624 ] [is] the [G3588 ] seer ? 19 And [G2532 ] Samuel answered the [G3588 ] Saul, and [G2532 ] said [G2036 ] , I [G1473 ] am [he . go up before [G1715 ] me [G1473 ] unto [G1519 ] Bama, and [G2532 ] eat [G2068 ] with [G3326 ] me [G1473 ] today [G4594 ] ! and [G2532 ] I will send [G1821 ] you [G1473 ] [in the] morning [G4404 ] , and [G2532 ] all [G3956 ] the [things] [G3588 ] in [G1722 ] the [G3588 ] your heart [G2588 ] [G1473 ] I will report to you [G1473 ] . 20 And [G2532 ] concerning [G4012 ] the [G3588 ] donkeys [G3688 ] the [G3588 ] being lost to you [G1473 ] today [G4594 ] for three days , you should not [G3361 ] put [G5087 ] the [G3588 ] your heart [G2588 ] [G1473 ] to [G1722 ] them [G1473 ] , for [G3754 ] they are found [G2147 ] . And [G2532 ] what are [G5100 ] the [G3588 ] beautiful [things] [G5611 ] of the [G3588 ] Israel? Is it not [G3780 ] to you [G1473 ] , and [G2532 ] to all [G3956 ] the [G3588 ] house [G3624 ] of the [G3588 ] father [G3962 ] of you [G1473 ] ? 21 And [G2532 ] Saul answered and [G2532 ] said [G2036 ] , not [G3780 ] a man a son [G5207 ] of a Benjamite Am I [G1473 ] , of the [G3588 ] lesser [G3397 ] chiefdom of [G1537 ] the [G3588 ] tribes [G5443 ] of Israel? And [G2532 ] the [G3588 ] my family [G3965 ] [G1473 ] least [G1646 ] of [G3844 ] all [G3956 ] the [G3588 ] families [G3965 ] of the [G3588 ] Benjamin? And [G2532 ] why [G2444 ] have you spoken [G2980 ] to [G4314 ] me [G1473 ] concerning [G2596 ] the [G3588 ] this thing [G4487 ] [G3778 ] ? 22 And [G2532 ] Samuel took [G2983 ] the [G3588 ] Saul and [G2532 ] the [G3588 ] his servant-lad [G3808 ] [G1473 ] , and [G2532 ] he brought [G1521 ] them [G1473 ] into [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] lodging [G2646 ] , and [G2532 ] set [G5087 ] for them [G1473 ] a place [G5117 ] among [G1722 ] foremost [G4413 ] of the [G3588 ] [ones] being called [G2564 ] -- about [G5616 ] thirty [G5144 ] men . 23 And [G2532 ] Samuel said [G2036 ] to the [G3588 ] cook , Give [G1325 ] to me [G1473 ] the [G3588 ] portion [G3310 ] which [G3739 ] I gave [G1325 ] to you [G1473 ] , which [G3739 ] I told [G2036 ] you [G1473 ] to put [G5087 ] it [G1473 ] by [G3844 ] you [G1473 ] . 24 And [G2532 ] took the [G3588 ] cook the [G3588 ] hind quarter , and [G2532 ] the [part the [G3588 ] upon [G1909 ] it [G1473 ] , and [G2532 ] placed [G3908 ] it [G1473 ] before [G1799 ] Saul. And [G2532 ] Samuel said [G2036 ] the [G3588 ] to Saul, look [G2400 ] , the [G3588 ] leftover ; place [G3908 ] it [G1473 ] before [G1799 ] you [G1473 ] , and [G2532 ] eat [G2068 ] ! For [G3754 ] as [G1519 ] a testimony [G3142 ] it is placed [G5087 ] for you [G1473 ] over [G3844 ] the [G3588 ] people [G2992 ] -- pull it off ! And [G2532 ] Saul ate [G2068 ] with [G3326 ] Samuel in [G1722 ] the [G3588 ] that day [G2250 ] [G1565 ] . 25 And [G2532 ] he went down [G2597 ] from [G1537 ] the [G3588 ] Bama into [G1519 ] the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] . And [G2532 ] they spread carpets for the [G3588 ] Saul upon [G1909 ] the [G3588 ] roof [G1430 ] , and [G2532 ] he went to bed [G2837 ] . 26 And [G2532 ] it came to pass [G1096 ] as [G5613 ] went up the [G3588 ] dawn [G3722 ] , that [G2532 ] Samuel called [G2564 ] to the [G3588 ] Saul upon [G1909 ] the [G3588 ] roof [G1430 ] , saying [G3004 ] , Rise up ! and [G2532 ] I will send [G1821 ] you out [G1473 ] . And [G2532 ] Saul rose up , and [G2532 ] went forth [G1831 ] he [G1473 ] and [G2532 ] Samuel] unto [G2193 ] outside [G1854 ] . 27 And as they [G1473 ] were going down [G2597 ] into [G1519 ] uttermost part of the [G3588 ] city [G4172 ] , that [G2532 ] Samuel said [G2036 ] the [G3588 ] to Saul, Speak [G2036 ] to the [G3588 ] young man [G3808 ] , and [G2532 ] let him go through [G1330 ] in front of [G1715 ] us [G1473 ] ! And [G2532 ] you [G1473 ] stand [G2476 ] here [G5602 ] today [G4594 ] , and [G2532 ] hear word [G4487 ] of God '[G2316 ] !
