King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Then Samuel[H8050] took[H3947] [H853] a vial[H6378] of oil,[H8081] and poured[H3332] it upon[H5921] his head,[H7218] and kissed[H5401] him, and said,[H559] Is it not[H3808] because[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath anointed[H4886] thee to be captain[H5057] over[H5921] his inheritance?[H5159]

2. When thou art departed[H1980] from[H4480] [H5973] me today,[H3117] then thou shalt find[H4672] two[H8147] men[H376] by[H5973] Rachel's[H7354] sepulcher[H6900] in the border[H1366] of Benjamin[H1144] at Zelzah;[H6766] and they will say[H559] unto[H413] thee, The asses[H860] which[H834] thou wentest[H1980] to seek[H1245] are found:[H4672] and, lo,[H2009] thy father[H1] hath left[H5203] [H853] the care[H1697] of the asses,[H860] and sorroweth[H1672] for you, saying,[H559] What[H4100] shall I do[H6213] for my son?[H1121]

3. Then shalt thou go on[H2498] forward[H1973] from thence,[H4480] [H8033] and thou shalt come[H935] to[H5704] the plain[H436] of Tabor,[H8396] and there[H8033] shall meet[H4672] thee three[H7969] men[H376] going up[H5927] to[H413] God[H430] to Bethel,[H1008] one[H259] carrying[H5375] three[H7969] kids,[H1423] and another[H259] carrying[H5375] three[H7969] loaves[H3603] of bread,[H3899] and another[H259] carrying[H5375] a bottle[H5035] of wine: [H3196]

4. And they will salute[H7592] [H7965] thee, and give[H5414] thee two[H8147] loaves of bread;[H3899] which thou shalt receive[H3947] of their hands.[H4480] [H3027]

5. After that[H310] [H3651] thou shalt come[H935] to the hill[H1389] of God,[H430] where[H834] [H8033] is the garrison[H5333] of the Philistines:[H6430] and it shall come to pass,[H1961] when thou art come[H935] thither[H8033] to the city,[H5892] that thou shalt meet[H6293] a company[H2256] of prophets[H5030] coming down[H3381] from the high place[H4480] [H1116] with a psaltery,[H5035] and a tabret,[H8596] and a pipe,[H2485] and a harp,[H3658] before[H6440] them; and they[H1992] shall prophesy: [H5012]

6. And the Spirit[H7307] of the LORD[H3068] will come[H6743] upon[H5921] thee, and thou shalt prophesy[H5012] with them,[H5973] and shalt be turned[H2015] into another[H312] man.[H376]

7. And let it be,[H1961] when[H3588] these[H428] signs[H226] are come[H935] unto thee, that thou do[H6213] as occasion serve[H834] [H4672] [H3027] thee; for[H3588] God[H430] is with[H5973] thee.

8. And thou shalt go down[H3381] before[H6440] me to Gilgal;[H1537] and, behold,[H2009] I[H595] will come down[H3381] unto[H413] thee, to offer[H5927] burnt offerings,[H5930] and to sacrifice[H2076] sacrifices[H2077] of peace offerings:[H8002] seven[H7651] days[H3117] shalt thou tarry,[H3176] till[H5704] I come[H935] to[H413] thee, and show[H3045] thee[H853] what[H834] thou shalt do.[H6213]

9. And it was[H1961] so, that when he had turned[H6437] his back[H7926] to go[H1980] from[H4480] [H5973] Samuel,[H8050] God[H430] gave[H2015] him another[H312] heart:[H3820] and all[H3605] those[H428] signs[H226] came to pass[H935] that[H1931] day.[H3117]

10. And when they came[H935] thither[H8033] to the hill,[H1389] behold,[H2009] a company[H2256] of prophets[H5030] met[H7125] him; and the Spirit[H7307] of God[H430] came[H6743] upon[H5921] him, and he prophesied[H5012] among[H8432] them.

11. And it came to pass,[H1961] when all[H3605] that knew[H3045] him formerly[H4480] [H865] [H8032] saw[H7200] that, behold,[H2009] he prophesied[H5012] among[H5973] the prophets,[H5030] then the people[H5971] said[H559] one[H376] to[H413] another,[H7453] What[H4100] is this[H2088] that is come[H1961] unto the son[H1121] of Kish?[H7027] Is Saul[H7586] also[H1571] among the prophets?[H5030]

12. And one[H376] of the same place[H4480] [H8033] answered[H6030] and said,[H559] But who[H4310] is their father?[H1] Therefore[H5921] [H3651] it became[H1961] a proverb,[H4912] Is Saul[H7586] also[H1571] among the prophets?[H5030]

13. And when he had made an end[H3615] of prophesying,[H4480] [H5012] he came[H935] to the high place.[H1116]

14. And Saul's[H7586] uncle[H1730] said[H559] unto[H413] him and to[H413] his servant,[H5288] Whither[H575] went[H1980] ye? And he said,[H559] To seek[H1245] [H853] the asses:[H860] and when we saw[H7200] that[H3588] they were no where,[H369] we came[H935] to[H413] Samuel.[H8050]

15. And Saul's[H7586] uncle[H1730] said,[H559] Tell[H5046] me, I pray thee,[H4994] what[H4100] Samuel[H8050] said[H559] unto you.

16. And Saul[H7586] said[H559] unto[H413] his uncle,[H1730] He told us plainly[H5046] [H5046] that[H3588] the asses[H860] were found.[H4672] But of the matter[H1697] of the kingdom,[H4410] whereof[H834] Samuel[H8050] spoke,[H559] he told[H5046] him not.[H3808]

17. And Samuel[H8050] called the people together[H6817] [H853] [H5971] unto[H413] the LORD[H3068] to Mizpeh;[H4709]

18. And said[H559] unto[H413] the children[H1121] of Israel,[H3478] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] I[H595] brought up[H5927] [H853] Israel[H3478] out of Egypt,[H4480] [H4714] and delivered[H5337] you out of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of the Egyptians,[H4714] and out of the hand[H4480] [H3027] of all[H3605] kingdoms,[H4467] and of them that oppressed[H3905] you:

19. And ye[H859] have this day[H3117] rejected[H3988] [H853] your God,[H430] who[H834] himself[H1931] saved[H3467] you out of all[H4480] [H3605] your adversities[H7451] and your tribulations;[H6869] and ye have said[H559] unto him, Nay, but[H3588] set[H7760] a king[H4428] over[H5921] us. Now[H6258] therefore present yourselves[H3320] before[H6440] the LORD[H3068] by your tribes,[H7626] and by your thousands.[H505]

20. And when Samuel[H8050] had caused[H853] all[H3605] the tribes[H7626] of Israel[H3478] to come near,[H7126] the tribe[H7626] of Benjamin[H1144] was taken.[H3920]

21. When he had caused[H853] the tribe[H7626] 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] be found.[H4672]

22. Therefore they inquired[H7592] of the LORD[H3068] further,[H5750] if the man[H376] should yet[H5750] come[H935] thither.[H1988] And the LORD[H3068] answered,[H559] Behold,[H2009] he[H1931] hath hid himself[H2244] among[H413] the stuff.[H3627]

23. And they ran[H7323] and fetched[H3947] him thence:[H4480] [H8033] and when he stood[H3320] among[H8432] the people,[H5971] he was higher[H1361] than any[H4480] [H3605] of the people[H5971] from his shoulders[H4480] [H7926] and upward.[H4605]

24. And Samuel[H8050] said[H559] to[H413] all[H3605] the people,[H5971] See[H7200] ye him whom[H834] the LORD[H3068] hath chosen,[H977] that[H3588] there is none[H369] like him[H3644] among all[H3605] the people?[H5971] And all[H3605] the people[H5971] shouted,[H7321] and said,[H559] God save[H2421] the king.[H4428]

25. Then Samuel[H8050] told[H1696] [H413] the people[H5971] [H853] the manner[H4941] of the kingdom,[H4410] and wrote[H3789] it in a book,[H5612] and laid it up[H5117] before[H6440] the LORD.[H3068] And Samuel[H8050] sent[H7971] [H853] all[H3605] the people[H5971] away, every man[H376] to his house.[H1004]

26. And Saul[H7586] also[H1571] went[H1980] home[H1004] to Gibeah;[H1390] and there went[H1980] with[H5973] him a band of men,[H2428] whose[H834] hearts[H3820] God[H430] had touched.[H5060]

27. But the children[H1121] of Belial[H1100] said,[H559] How[H4100] shall this[H2088] man save[H3467] us? And they despised[H959] him, and brought[H935] him no[H3808] presents.[H4503] But he held his peace.[H2790]
