Saul
among Prophets |
|
|
 |
| 1 Samuel 10:1 |
|
Then Samuel took the flask of oil, poured it
on his head, kissed him and said, "Has not the LORD anointed you a ruler over
His inheritance? |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:2 |
|
When you go from me today, then you will find
two men close to Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they
will say to you, 'The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. Now
behold, your father has ceased to be concerned about the donkeys and is anxious
for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"' |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:3 |
|
Then you will go on further from there, and
you will come as far as the oak of Tabor, and there three men going up to God
at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three
loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:4 |
|
and they will greet you and give you two loaves
of bread, which you will accept from their hand. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:5 |
|
Afterward you will come to the hill of God where
the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to
the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place
with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and they will be prophesying. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:6 |
|
Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you
mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:7 |
|
It shall be when these signs come to you, do
for yourself what the occasion requires, for God is with you. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:8 |
|
And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and
behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice peace offerings.
You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you should do." |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:9 |
|
Then it happened when he turned his back to
leave Samuel, God changed his heart; and all those signs came about on that day. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:10 |
|
When they came to the hill there, behold, a
group of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him mightily, so that
he prophesied among them. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:11 |
|
It came about, when all who knew him previously
saw that he prophesied now with the prophets, that the people said to one another,
"What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?" |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:12 |
|
A man there said, "Now, who is their father?"
Therefore it became a proverb: "Is Saul also among the prophets?" |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:13 |
|
When he had finished prophesying, he came to
the high place. |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:14 |
|
Now Saul's uncle said to him and his servant,
"Where did you go?" And he said, "To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they
could not be found, we went to Samuel." |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:15 |
|
Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel
said to you." |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:16 |
|
So Saul said to his uncle, "He told us plainly
that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell him about the matter of
the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Saul
Publicly Chosen King |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:17 |
|
Thereafter Samuel called the people together
to the LORD at Mizpah; |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:18 |
|
and he said to the sons of Israel, "Thus says
the LORD, the God of Israel, 'I brought Israel up from Egypt, and I delivered
you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the power of all the kingdoms that
were oppressing you.' |
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:19 |
|
But you have today rejected your God, who delivers
you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have said, 'No, but
set a king over us!' Now therefore, present yourselves before the LORD by your
tribes and by your clans." |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:20 |
|
Thus Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel
near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:21 |
|
Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near
by its families, and the Matrite family was taken. And Saul the son of Kish was
taken; but when they looked for him, he could not be found. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:22 |
|
Therefore they inquired further of the LORD,
"Has the man come here yet?" So the LORD said, "Behold, he is hiding himself by
the baggage." |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:23 |
|
So they ran and took him from there, and when
he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders
upward. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:24 |
|
Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see
him whom the LORD has chosen? Surely there is no one like him among all the people."
So all the people shouted and said, " Long live the king!" |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:25 |
|
Then Samuel told the people the ordinances of
the kingdom, and wrote them in the book and placed it before the LORD. And Samuel
sent all the people away, each one to his house. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:26 |
|
Saul also went to his house at Gibeah; and
the valiant men whose hearts God had touched went with him. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Samuel 10:27 |
|
But certain worthless men said, "How can this
one deliver us?" And they despised him and did not bring him any present. But
he kept silent. |
