- 1Then 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?וַיִּקַּ֨ח שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶת פַּ֥ךְ הַשֶּׁ֛מֶן וַיִּצֹ֥ק עַל רֹאשׁ֖וֹ וַיִּשָּׁקֵ֑הוּ וַיֹּ֕אמֶר הֲל֗וֹא כִּֽי מְשָׁחֲךָ֧ יְהוָ֛ה עַל נַחֲלָת֖וֹ לְנָגִֽיד
- 2When 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?בְּלֶכְתְּךָ֤ הַיּוֹם֙ מֵעִמָּדִ֔י וּמָצָאתָ֩ שְׁנֵ֨י אֲנָשִׁ֜ים עִם קְבֻרַ֥ת רָחֵ֛ל בִּגְב֥וּל בִּנְיָמִ֖ן בְּצֶלְצַ֑ח וְאָמְר֣וּ אֵלֶ֗יךָ נִמְצְא֤וּ הָאֲתֹנוֹת֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָלַ֣כְתָּ לְבַקֵּ֔שׁ וְהִנֵּ֨ה נָטַ֤שׁ אָבִ֨יךָ֙ אֶת דִּבְרֵ֣י הָאֲתֹנ֔וֹת וְדָאַ֤ג לֵאמֹ֔ר מָ֥ה אֶעֱשֶׂ֖ה לִבְנִֽי
- 3Then 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:וְחָלַפְתָּ֨ מִשָּׁ֜ם וָהָ֗לְאָה וּבָ֨אתָ֙ עַד אֵל֣וֹן תָּב֔וֹר וּמְצָא֤וּךָ שָּׁם֙ שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה אֲנָשִׁ֔ים עֹלִ֥ים אֶל הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים אֵ֑ל אֶחָ֞ד נֹשֵׂ֣א שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה גְדָיִ֗ים וְאֶחָד֙ נֹשֵׂ֗א שְׁלֹ֨שֶׁת֙ כִּכְּר֣וֹת לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶחָ֥ד נֹשֵׂ֖א נֵֽבֶל יָֽיִן
- 4And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.וְשָׁאֲל֥וּ לְשָׁל֑וֹם וְנָתְנ֤וּ שְׁתֵּי לֶ֔חֶם וְלָקַחְתָּ֖ מִיָּדָֽם
- 5After 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:אַ֣חַר כֵּ֗ן תָּבוֹא֙ גִּבְעַ֣ת הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר שָׁ֖ם נְצִבֵ֣י פְלִשְׁתִּ֑ים וִיהִי֩ כְבֹאֲךָ֨ שָׁ֜ם הָעִ֗יר וּפָגַעְתָּ֞ חֶ֤בֶל נְבִיאִים֙ יֹרְדִ֣ים מֵֽהַבָּמָ֔ה וְלִפְנֵיהֶ֞ם נֵ֤בֶל וְתֹף֙ וְחָלִ֣יל וְכִנּ֔וֹר וְהֵ֖מָּה מִֽתְנַבְּאִֽים
- 6And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.וְצָלְחָ֤ה עָלֶ֨יךָ֙ ר֣וּחַ יְהוָ֔ה וְהִתְנַבִּ֖יתָ עִמָּ֑ם וְנֶהְפַּכְתָּ֖ לְאִ֥ישׁ אַחֵֽר
- 7And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.וְהָיָ֗ה כִּ֥י תבאינה תָבֹ֛אנָה הָאֹת֥וֹת הָאֵ֖לֶּה עֲשֵׂ֤ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּמְצָ֣א יָדֶ֔ךָ כִּ֥י הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים עִמָּֽךְ
- 8And 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.וְיָרַדְתָּ֣ לְפָנַי֮ הַגִּלְגָּל֒ וְהִנֵּ֤ה אָֽנֹכִי֙ יֹרֵ֣ד אֵלֶ֔יךָ לְהַעֲל֣וֹת עֹל֔וֹת לִזְבֹּ֖חַ זִבְחֵ֣י שְׁלָמִ֑ים שִׁבְעַ֨ת יָמִ֤ים תּוֹחֵל֙ עַד בּוֹאִ֣י אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְהוֹדַעְתִּ֣י אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֶֽׂה
- 9And 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.וְהָיָ֗ה כְּהַפְנֹת֤וֹ שִׁכְמוֹ֙ לָלֶ֨כֶת֙ מֵעִ֣ם שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל וַיַּהֲפָךְ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לֵ֣ב אַחֵ֑ר וַיָּבֹ֛אוּ כָּל הָאֹת֥וֹת הָאֵ֖לֶּה בַּיּ֥וֹם הַהֽוּא
- 10And 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.וַיָּבֹ֤אוּ שָׁם֙ הַגִּבְעָ֔תָה וְהִנֵּ֥ה חֶֽבֶל נְבִאִ֖ים לִקְרָאת֑וֹ וַתִּצְלַ֤ח עָלָיו֙ ר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיִּתְנַבֵּ֖א בְּתוֹכָֽם
- 11And 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?וַיְהִ֗י כָּל יֽוֹדְעוֹ֙ מֵאִתְּמ֣וֹל שִׁלְשׁ֔וֹם וַיִּרְא֕וּ וְהִנֵּ֥ה עִם נְבִאִ֖ים נִבָּ֑א וַיֹּ֨אמֶר הָעָ֜ם אִ֣ישׁ אֶל רֵעֵ֗הוּ מַה זֶּה֙ הָיָ֣ה לְבֶן קִ֔ישׁ הֲגַ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל בַּנְּבִיאִֽים
- 12And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?וַיַּ֨עַן אִ֥ישׁ מִשָּׁ֛ם וַיֹּ֖אמֶר וּמִ֣י אֲבִיהֶ֑ם עַל כֵּן֙ הָיְתָ֣ה לְמָשָׁ֔ל הֲגַ֥ם שָׁא֖וּל בַּנְּבִאִֽים
- 13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.וַיְכַל֙ מֵֽהִתְנַבּ֔וֹת וַיָּבֹ֖א הַבָּמָֽה
- 14And 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.וַיֹּאמֶר֩ דּ֨וֹד שָׁא֥וּל אֵלָ֛יו וְאֶֽל נַעֲר֖וֹ אָ֣ן הֲלַכְתֶּ֑ם וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לְבַקֵּשׁ֙ אֶת הָ֣אֲתֹנ֔וֹת וַנִּרְאֶ֣ה כִי אַ֔יִן וַנָּב֖וֹא אֶל שְׁמוּאֵֽל
- 15And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.וַיֹּ֖אמֶר דּ֣וֹד שָׁא֑וּל הַגִּֽידָה נָּ֣א מָֽה אָמַ֥ר שְׁמוּאֵֽל
- 16And 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.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר שָׁאוּל֙ אֶל דּוֹד֔וֹ הַגֵּ֤ד הִגִּיד֙ כִּ֥י נִמְצְא֖וּ הָאֲתֹנ֑וֹת וְאֶת דְּבַ֤ר הַמְּלוּכָה֙ לֹֽא הִגִּ֣יד אֲשֶׁ֖ר אָמַ֥ר שְׁמוּאֵֽל
- 17And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;וַיַּצְעֵ֤ק שְׁמוּאֵל֙ אֶת הָעָ֔ם אֶל יְהוָ֖ה הַמִּצְפָּֽה
- 18And 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:וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל כֹּֽה אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אָנֹכִ֛י הֶעֱלֵ֥יתִי אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וָאַצִּ֤יל אֶתְכֶם֙ מִיַּ֣ד מִצְרַ֔יִם וּמִיַּד֙ כָּל הַמַּמְלָכ֔וֹת הַלֹּחֲצִ֖ים אֶתְכֶֽם
- 19And 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.וְאַתֶּ֨ם הַיּ֜וֹם מְאַסְתֶּ֣ם אֶת אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁר ה֣וּא מוֹשִׁ֣יעַ מִכָּל רָעוֹתֵיכֶ֣ם וְצָרֹֽתֵיכֶם֒ וַתֹּ֣אמְרוּ כִּי מֶ֖לֶךְ תָּשִׂ֣ים עָלֵ֑ינוּ וְעַתָּ֗ה הִֽתְיַצְּבוּ֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶ֖ם וּלְאַלְפֵיכֶֽם
- 20And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.וַיַּקְרֵ֣ב שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל אֵ֖ת כָּל שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּלָּכֵ֖ד שֵׁ֥בֶט בִּנְיָמִֽן
- 21When 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.וַיַּקְרֵ֞ב אֶת שֵׁ֤בֶט בִּנְיָמִן֙ למשפחתו לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָ֔יו וַתִּלָּכֵ֖ד מִשְׁפַּ֣חַת הַמַּטְרִ֑י וַיִּלָּכֵד֙ שָׁא֣וּל בֶּן קִ֔ישׁ וַיְבַקְשֻׁ֖הוּ וְלֹ֥א נִמְצָֽא
- 22Therefore 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.וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ עוֹד֙ בַּֽיהוָ֔ה הֲבָ֥א ע֖וֹד הֲלֹ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֔ה הִנֵּה ה֥וּא נֶחְבָּ֖א אֶל הַכֵּלִֽים
- 23And 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.וַיָּרֻ֨צוּ֙ וַיִּקָּחֻ֣הוּ מִשָּׁ֔ם וַיִּתְיַצֵּ֖ב בְּת֣וֹךְ הָעָ֑ם וַיִּגְבַּהּ֙ מִכָּל הָעָ֔ם מִשִּׁכְמ֖וֹ וָמָֽעְלָה
- 24And 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.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶל כָּל הָעָ֗ם הַרְּאִיתֶם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר יְהוָ֔ה כִּ֛י אֵ֥ין כָּמֹ֖הוּ בְּכָל הָעָ֑ם וַיָּרִ֧עוּ כָל הָעָ֛ם וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ יְחִ֥י הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
- 25Then 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.וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל אֶל הָעָ֗ם אֵ֚ת מִשְׁפַּ֣ט הַמְּלֻכָ֔ה וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב בַּסֵּ֔פֶר וַיַּנַּ֖ח לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיְשַׁלַּ֧ח שְׁמוּאֵ֛ל אֶת כָּל הָעָ֖ם אִ֥ישׁ לְבֵיתֽוֹ
- 26And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.וְגַ֨ם שָׁא֔וּל הָלַ֥ךְ לְבֵית֖וֹ גִּבְעָ֑תָה וַיֵּלְכ֣וּ עִמּ֔וֹ הַחַ֕יִל אֲשֶׁר נָגַ֥ע אֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּלִבָּֽם
- 27But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.וּבְנֵ֧י בְלִיַּ֣עַל אָמְר֗וּ מַה יֹּשִׁעֵ֨נוּ֙ זֶ֔ה וַיִּבְזֻ֕הוּ וְלֹֽא הֵבִ֥יאוּ מִנְחָ֑ה וַיְהִ֖י כְּמַחֲרִֽישׁ

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
