Young's Literal Translation
Then
Samuel took
a
flask
of oil, poured
it
on Saul’s
head, kissed
him, and said
, “Has
not the
LORD
anointed
you
ruler
over His inheritance?
And
Samuel taketh
the
vial
of the
oil, and
poureth
on his
head, and
kisseth
him, and saith
, `Is
it
not because
Jehovah
hath
appointed
thee
over His inheritance for
leader
?
When
you
leave
me today,
you
will
find
two men at
Rachel’s
tomb
in Zelzah
on
the border of Benjamin .
They will
say
to
you
, ‘
The donkeys
you
seek
have been found ,
and now
your
father has
stopped
worrying
about
the donkeys
and started
worrying
about
you, asking
, “
What should
I do about
my son? ”’
In
thy
going
to-day
from
me --
then
thou
hast
found
two men by
the
grave
of
Rachel,
in the border of Benjamin ,
at
Zelzah,
and
they have
said
unto
thee
, The asses
have been found which
thou
hast
gone
to
seek;
and lo,
thy
father hath
left
the matter
of
the
asses,
and hath
sorrowed
for
you, saying
, What do
I do for
my son?
Then
you
will
go
on from
there
until
you
come to
the Oak of Tabor .
Three men going up to
God at
Bethel
will
meet
you
there
, one carrying
three young
goats
, another
carrying
three loaves
of bread, and another
carrying
a skin
of wine .
`And
thou
hast
passed
on thence,
and
beyond,
and
hast
come in
unto
the oak of Tabor ,
and
found
thee
there
have
three men going up unto
God to
Beth-El
, one bearing
three kids
, and
one
bearing
three cakes
of bread, and one
bearing
a bottle
of wine ,
They will
greet
you
and give
you
two loaves of
bread
, which
you
will
accept
from their hands
.
and
they have
asked
of
thee
of
welfare,
and given
to
thee
two loaves, and
thou
hast
received
from their hand
.
After
that
you
will
come to
Gibeah
of God, where the Philistines have
an
outpost.
As
you
approach
the city, you
will
meet
a group
of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded
by
harps
, tambourines
, flutes
, and lyres
, and they will
be
prophesying .
`Afterwards
thou
dost
come unto
the
hill
of God, where the garrison
of
the
Philistines `is',
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
thy
coming
in
thither
to
the city, that
thou
hast
met
a band
of prophets coming down from the high place, and
before
them
psaltery
, and
tabret
, and
pipe
, and harp
, and they are
prophesying ;
Then
the Spirit of the
LORD
will
rush
upon
you
, and you
will
prophesy
with them ;
and you
will
be
transformed
into
a
different
person.
and
prospered
over
thee
hath
the Spirit of Jehovah
, and thou
hast
prophesied
with them ,
and hast
been
turned
to
another
man;
When these signs have
come ,
do as the
occasion
demands
, for God is with you
.
and
it
hath
been,
when these signs come to
thee
--
do for
thyself
as thy
hand
findeth
, for God `
is '
with thee
.
And you
shall
go
before me to Gilgal, and surely
I will
come
to you
to offer
burnt offerings and
to sacrifice peace offerings .
Wait
seven days until
I
come
to
you
and show
you
what
you
are
to do. ”
`
And thou
hast
gone
down
before me to Gilgal, and lo,
I am
going
down
unto
thee,
to cause
to ascend
burnt -
offerings ,
to sacrifice sacrifices
of
peace -
offerings ;
seven days thou
dost
wait
till
my
coming
in
unto
thee,
and I
have
made
known
to thee
that
which
thou
dost
do. '
As
Saul
turned
to leave
Samuel, God changed
Saul’s
heart, and all the
signs came
to
pass
that day .
And
it
hath
been,
at
his
turning
his
shoulder
to go
from
Samuel, that
God turneth
to
him
another
heart, and all these
signs come
on
that day ,
When
Saul
and his
servant
arrived
at
Gibeah
, a group
of prophets met
him .
Then
the Spirit of God rushed
upon
him
, and he prophesied
along
with
them
.
and they
come
in
thither
to
the
height
, and
lo,
a band
of prophets --
to
meet
him ,
and
prosper
over
him
doth
the Spirit of God, and he prophesieth
in
their
midst
.
All those
who
had
formerly
known
Saul
and saw
him
prophesying
with the
prophets asked
one another, “
What has
happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? ”
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
all his
acquaintance
heretofore,
see,
and lo,
with prophets he
hath
prophesied,
and
the
people
say
one unto
another, `
What `is'
this
hath
happened to the son of Kish? is Saul also among the prophets? '
Then
a man who
lived
there
replied
, “
And who is their father? ”
So
the
saying
became
a proverb:
“
Is Saul also among the prophets? ”
And
a man thence
answereth
and
saith
, `
And who `
is '
their father? '
therefore
it
hath
been
for
a simile,
`
Is Saul also among the prophets? '
And when
Saul
had
finished
prophesying, he
went
up
to the high place .
And he
ceaseth
from
prophesying, and
cometh
in
to the high place ,
Now
Saul’s
uncle asked
him and his servant
, “Where
did
you
go
? ”
“
To look
for
the donkeys,”
Saul
replied.
“When
we saw
they were
not to
be
found
, we went
to
Samuel. ”
and
the
uncle of
Saul
saith
unto
him ,
and unto
his young
man
, `Whither
went
ye
? '
and
he
saith,
`
To seek
the asses;
and
we see
that
they are
not, and
we come
in
unto
Samuel. '
“Tell
me,”
Saul’s
uncle asked
, “
what did
Samuel say
to you? ”
And
the
uncle of
Saul
saith
, `Declare,
I
pray
thee,
to
me,
what Samuel said
to you? '
And Saul replied
, “
He assured
us that the donkeys
had
been
found .”
But
Saul
did
not tell
his
uncle
what
Samuel had
said about
the
kingship
.
And Saul saith
unto
his
uncle
, `
He certainly
declared
to
us that the asses
were
found ;'
and
of
the
matter
of
the
kingdom
he
hath
not declared
to
him
that
which
Samuel said.
After
this,
Samuel summoned
the people to the
LORD
at
Mizpah
And
Samuel calleth
the people unto
Jehovah
to Mizpeh,
and said
to
the Israelites
, “This
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
‘
I brought Israel
up out of Egypt, and I rescued
you from
the hands
of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that
oppressed
you .’
and saith
unto
the sons
of
Israel
, `Thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, I have
brought up Israel
out of Egypt, and I deliver
you out
of
the hand
of the Egyptians ,
and out
of the
hand
of
all the kingdoms who
are
oppressing
you ;
But
today
you
have rejected your God, who saves
you
from
all your troubles
and afflictions
, and you
have
said
to
Him
, ‘No
, set
a king over us .’
Now therefore
present
yourselves before the
LORD
by your tribes and clans
. ”
and
ye
to-day
have rejected your God, who `is'
Himself
your
saviour
out
of
all your evils
and your
distresses
, and ye
say
, `Nay
, but
--
a king thou
dost
set
over us ;
and
now ,
station
yourselves before Jehovah,
by your tribes ,
and by
your
thousands
. '
Thus
Samuel had
all
the tribes of Israel come
forward
, and the tribe of Benjamin was
selected.
And
Samuel bringeth
near
the whole
tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is
captured,
Then
he had
the tribe of Benjamin come
forward
by its clans
, and the clan
of Matri was
selected.
Finally
, Saul son of Kish was
selected.
But
when
they looked
for
him, they
could
not find
him
.
and
he bringeth
near
the tribe of Benjamin by its families
, and the family
of Matri is
captured
, and
Saul son of Kish is
captured,
and
they seek
him, and
he
hath
not been
found
.
So
again
they inquired
of
the
LORD
, “Has
the man come
here
yet? ”
And the
LORD
replied
, “Behold
, he has
hidden himself
among
the baggage
. ”
And
they ask
again
at
Jehovah
, `Hath
the man yet come
hither
? '
and Jehovah
saith
, `Lo
, he hath
been
hidden near
the vessels
. '
So
they ran
and brought
Saul
, and when
he stood
among
the people, he was
a
head
taller
than any of the others
.
And
they run
and bring
him
thence
, and he stationed
himself
in
the midst
of
the
people, and
he is
higher
than any of the people
from
his
shoulder
and
upward
.
Samuel said
to
all the people, “Do
you
see
the
one
the
LORD
has
chosen?
There is no
one
like him among all the people .”
And all the people shouted
, “Long
live
the king! ”
And
Samuel saith
unto
all the people, `Have
ye
seen
him
on
whom
Jehovah
hath
fixed,
for
there is none
like him among all the people ?'
And all the people shout
, and
say,
`Let
the king live
! '
Then
Samuel explained
to
the people the rights
of kingship.
He
wrote
them
on
a scroll
and laid
it
up
before the
LORD.
And Samuel sent
all the people away, each to his own
home
.
And
Samuel speaketh
unto
the people the right
of the
kingdom,
and
writeth
in
a book,
and placeth
before Jehovah;
and Samuel sendeth
all the people away, each to his house
.
Saul
also went
to his home
in
Gibeah, and the men
of
valor
whose hearts
God had
touched went
with
him.
And
also Saul
hath
gone
to his house,
to
Gibeah, and the force
go
with
him
whose heart
God hath
touched ;
But
some
worthless
men
said, “How
can
this man
save us ?”
So
they despised
him and brought him no
gifts
; but
Saul
remained
silent
about
it
.
and
the
sons
of
worthlessness
have
said, `What!
this one
doth
save us !'
and
they despise
him ,
and have
not
brought to
him a
present
; and
he
is
as
one
deaf
.
