Book 09 1 Samuel Chapter 010

 

010:001Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head,
and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath
anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?

 

010:002When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find
two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at
Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou
wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the
care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I
do for my son?

 

010:003Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come
to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men
going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and
another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a
bottle of wine:

 

010:004And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread;
which thou shalt receive of their hands.

 

010:005After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the
garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when
thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a
company of prophets coming down from the high place with a
psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them;
and they shall prophesy:

 

010:006And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt
prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

 

010:007And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou
do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

 

010:008And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I
will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to
sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou
tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.

 

010:009And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from
Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came
to pass that day.

 

010:010And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of
prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he
prophesied among them.

 

010:011And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw
that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the
people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the
son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

 

010:012And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their
father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the
prophets?

 

010:013And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the
high place.

 

010:014And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither
went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that
they were no where, we came to Samuel.

 

010:015And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said
unto you.

 

010:016And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the
asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof
Samuel spake, he told him not.

 

010:017And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;

 

010:018And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God
of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you
out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all
kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:

 

010:019And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you
out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have
said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore
present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your
thousands.

 

010:020And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come
near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

 

010:021When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their
families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of
Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be
found.

 

010:022Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should
yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold he hath hid
himself among the stuff.

 

010:023And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among
the people, he was higher than any of the people from his
shoulders and upward.

 

010:024And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD
hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people?
And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.

 

010:025Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and
wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel
sent all the people away, every man to his house.

 

010:026And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a
band of men, whose hearts God had touched.

 

010:027But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us?
And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held
his peace.
