And he ranH7323 to Eli,H5941 and said,H559 HereH2005 am I; for you calledH7121 me. And he said,H559 I calledH7121 not; lieH7901 downH7901 again.H7725 And he wentH3212 and layH7901 down.H7901 And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 yetH5750 again,H3254 Samuel.H8050 And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to Eli,H5941 and said,H559 HereH2005 am I; for you did callH7121 me. And he answered,H559 I calledH7121 not, my son;H1121 lieH7901 downH7901 again.H7725 Now SamuelH8050 did not yetH2962 knowH3045 the LORD,H3068 neither was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 yetH2962 revealedH1540 to him. And the LORDH3068 calledH7121 SamuelH8050 againH3254 the thirdH7992 time. And he aroseH6965 and wentH3212 to Eli,H5941 and said,H559 HereH2005 am I; for you did callH7121 me. And EliH5941 perceivedH995 that the LORDH3068 had calledH7121 the child.H5288 Therefore EliH5941 saidH559 to Samuel,H8050 Go,H3212 lieH7901 down:H7901 and it shall be, ifH518 he callH7121 you, that you shall say,H559 Speak,H1696 LORD;H3068 for your servantH5650 hears.H8085 So SamuelH8050 wentH3212 and layH7901 downH7901 in his place.H4725 And the LORDH3068 came,H935 and stood,H3320 and calledH7121 as at other times,H6471 Samuel,H8050 Samuel.H8050 Then SamuelH8050 answered,H559 Speak;H1696 for your servantH5650 hears.H8085 And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Samuel,H8050 Behold,H2009 I will doH6213 a thingH1697 in Israel,H3478 at whichH834 bothH8147 the earsH241 of everyH3605 one that hearsH8085 it shall tingle.H6750 In that dayH3117 I will performH6965 againstH413 EliH5941 allH3605 things whichH834 I have spokenH1696 concerningH413 his house:H1004 when I begin,H2490 I will also make an end.H3615 For I have toldH5046 him that I will judgeH8199 his houseH1004 for everH5769 for the iniquityH5771 whichH834 he knows;H3045 becauseH3588 his sonsH1121 made themselvesH1992 vile,H7043 and he restrainedH3543 them not. And therefore I have swornH7650 to the houseH1004 of Eli,H5941 that the iniquityH5771 of Eli'sH5941 houseH1004 shall not be purgedH3722 with sacrificeH2077 nor offeringH4503 for ever.H5769 And SamuelH8050 layH7901 untilH5704 the morning,H1242 and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068 And SamuelH8050 fearedH3372 to showH5046 EliH5941 the vision.H4758 Then EliH5941 calledH7121 Samuel,H8050 and said,H559 Samuel,H8050 my son.H1121 And he answered,H559 HereH2009 am I. And he said,H559 WhatH4100 is the thingH1697 that the LORD has saidH1696 to you? I prayH4994 you hideH3582 it not from me: GodH430 doH6213 soH3541 to you, and moreH3254 also,H3541 ifH518 you hideH3582 any thingH1697 from me of allH3605 the things that he saidH1696 to you. And SamuelH8050 toldH5046 him everyH3605 whit,H1697 and hidH3582 nothingH3808 from him. And he said,H559 It is the LORD:H3068 let him doH6213 what seemsH5869 him good.H2896 And SamuelH8050 grew,H1431 and the LORDH3068 was with him, and did let noneH3808 of his wordsH1697 fallH5307 to the ground.H776 And allH3605 IsraelH3478 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 knewH3045 that SamuelH8050 was establishedH539 to be a prophetH5030 of the LORD.H3068 And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 againH3254 in Shiloh:H7887 for the LORDH3068 revealedH1540 himself to SamuelH8050 in ShilohH7887 by the wordH1697 of the LORD.H3068 And the wordH1697 of SamuelH8050 cameH1961 to allH3605 Israel.H3478 Now IsraelH3478 wentH3318 out againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430 to battle,H4421 and pitchedH2583 besideH5921 Ebenezer:H72 and the PhilistinesH6430 pitchedH2583 in Aphek.H663 And the PhilistinesH6430 put themselves in arrayH6186 againstH7125 Israel:H3478 and when they joinedH5203 battle,H4421 IsraelH3478 was smittenH5062 beforeH6440 the Philistines:H6430 and they slewH5221 of the armyH4634 in the fieldH7704 about fourH702 thousandH505 men.H376 And when the peopleH5971 were comeH935 intoH413 the camp,H4264 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 said,H559 WhyH4100 has the LORDH3068 smittenH5062 us to dayH3117 beforeH6440 the Philistines?H6430 Let us fetchH3947 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 out of ShilohH7887 to us, that, when it comesH935 amongH7130 us, it may saveH3467 us out of the handH3709 of our enemies.H341 So the peopleH5971 sentH7971 to Shiloh,H7887 that they might bringH5375 from thereH8033 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 which dwellsH3427 between the cherubim:H3742 and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of Eli,H5941 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372 were thereH8033 with the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of God.H430 And when the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 cameH935 intoH413 the camp,H4264 allH3605 IsraelH3478 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shout,H8643 so that the earthH776 rangH1949 again. And when the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the shout,H8643 they said,H559 WhatH4100 means the noiseH6963 of thisH2063 greatH1419 shoutH8643 in the campH4264 of the Hebrews?H5680 And they understoodH3045 that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was comeH935 intoH413 the camp.H4264 And the PhilistinesH6430 were afraid,H3372 for they said,H559 GodH430 is comeH935 intoH413 the camp.H4264 And they said,H559 WoeH188 to us! for there has not beenH1961 suchH2063 a thing heretofore.H865 WoeH188 to us! whoH4310 shall deliverH5337 us out of the handH3027 of theseH428 mightyH117 Gods?H430 theseH428 are the GodsH430 that smoteH5221 the EgyptiansH4714 with allH3605 the plaguesH4347 in the wilderness.H4057 Be strong H2388and quitH1961 yourselves like men,H582 O you Philistines,H6430 that you be not servantsH5647 to the Hebrews,H5680 as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men,H582 and fight.H3898 And the PhilistinesH6430 fought,H3898 and IsraelH3478 was smitten,H5062 and they fledH5127 every manH376 into his tent:H168 and there was a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughter;H4347 for there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 footmen.H7273 And the arkH727 of GodH430 was taken;H3947 and the twoH8147 sonsH1121 of Eli,H5941 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372 were slain.H4191 And there ranH7323 a manH376 of BenjaminH1144 out of the army,H4634 and cameH935 to ShilohH7887 the sameH1931 dayH3117 with his clothesH4055 rent,H7167 and with earthH127 on his head.H7218 And when he came,H935 see,H2009 EliH5941 satH3427 on a seatH3678 by the waysideH3197 H1870 watching:H6822 for his heartH3820 trembledH2730 for the arkH727 of God.H430 And when the manH376 cameH935 into the city,H5892 and toldH5046 it, allH3605 the cityH5892 criedH2199 out. And when EliH5941 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the crying,H6818 he said,H559 WhatH4100 means the noiseH6963 of thisH2088 tumult?H1995 And the manH376 cameH935 in hastily,H4116 and toldH5046 Eli.H5941 Now EliH5941 was ninetyH8673 and eightH8083 yearsH8141 old;H1121 and his eyesH5869 were dim,H6965 that he couldH3201 not see.H7200 And the manH376 saidH559 to Eli,H5941 I am he that cameH935 out of the army,H4634 and I fledH5127 to dayH3117 out of the army.H4634 And he said,H559 WhatH4100 is there done,H1697 my son?H1121 And the messengerH1319 answeredH6030 and said,H559 IsraelH3478 is fledH5127 beforeH6440 the Philistines,H6430 and there has beenH1961 alsoH1571 a greatH1419 slaughterH4046 among the people,H5971 and your twoH8147 sonsH1121 also,H1571 HophniH2652 and Phinehas,H6372 are dead,H4191 and the arkH727 of GodH430 is taken.H3947 And it cameH1961 to pass, when he made mentionH2142 of the arkH727 of God,H430 that he fellH5307 from offH5921 the seatH3678 backwardH322 by the sideH3027 of the gate,H8179 and his neckH4665 broke,H7665 and he died:H4191 for he was an oldH2204 man,H376 and heavy.H3513 And he had judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 fortyH705 years.H8141 And his daughterH3618 in law,H3618 Phinehas'H6372 wife,H802 was with child,H2030 near to be delivered:H3205 and when she heardH8085 the tidingsH8052 that the arkH727 of GodH430 was taken,H3947 and that her fatherH2524 in lawH2524 and her husbandH376 were dead,H4191 she bowedH3766 herself and travailed;H3205 for her painsH6735 cameH2015 on her. And about the timeH6256 of her deathH4191 the women that stoodH5324 by her saidH1696 to her, FearH3372 not; for you have bornH3205 a son.H1121 But she answeredH6030 not, neitherH3808 did she regardH3820 it. And she namedH7121 the childH5288 Ichabod,H350 saying,H559 The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from Israel:H3478 becauseH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 was taken,H3947 and becauseH413 of her fatherH2524 in lawH2524 and her husband.H376 And she said,H559 The gloryH3519 is departedH1540 from Israel:H3478 for the arkH727 of GodH430 is taken.H3947 And the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of God,H430 and broughtH935 it from EbenezerH72 to Ashdod.H795 When the PhilistinesH6430 tookH3947 the arkH727 of God,H430 they broughtH935 it into the houseH1004 of Dagon,H1712 and setH3322 it by Dagon.H1712 And when they of AshdodH795 aroseH7925 earlyH7925 on the morrow,H4283 behold,H2009 DagonH1712 was fallenH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORD.H3068 And they tookH3947 Dagon,H1712 and setH7725 him in his placeH4725 again.H7725 And when they aroseH7925 earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283 morning,H1242 behold,H2009 DagonH1712 was fallenH5307 on his faceH6440 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the ark of the LORD;H3068 and the headH7218 of DagonH1712 and bothH8147 the palmsH3709 of his handsH3027 were cutH3772 off on the threshold;H4670 onlyH7535 the stump of DagonH1712 was leftH7604 to him. ThereforeH5921 H3651 neitherH3808 the priestsH3548 of Dagon,H1712 nor anyH3605 that comeH935 into Dagon'sH1712 house,H1004 treadH1869 onH5921 the thresholdH4670 of DagonH1712 in AshdodH795 to thisH2088 day.H3117 But the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was heavyH3513 on them of Ashdod,H795 and he destroyedH8074 them, and smoteH5221 them with tumors,H6076 evenH853 AshdodH795 and the coastsH1366 thereof. And when the menH582 of AshdodH795 sawH7200 that it was so,H3651 they said,H559 The arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 shall not abideH3427 with us: for his handH3027 is soreH7185 on us, and on DagonH1712 our god.H430 They sentH7971 therefore and gatheredH622 allH3605 the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 to them, and said,H559 WhatH4100 shall we doH6213 with the arkH727 of the GodH430 of Israel?H3478 And they answered,H559 Let the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 be carriedH5437 aboutH5437 to Gath.H1661 And they carriedH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 aboutH5437 thither. And it was so, that, afterH310 they had carriedH5437 it about,H5437 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was against the cityH5892 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 destruction:H4103 and he smoteH5221 the menH582 of the city,H5892 both smallH6996 and great,H1419 and they had tumorsH6076 in their secretH8368 parts. Therefore they sentH7971 the arkH727 of GodH430 to Ekron.H6138 And it cameH1961 to pass, as the arkH727 of GodH430 cameH935 to Ekron,H6138 that the EkronitesH6139 criedH2199 out, saying,H559 They have broughtH5437 aboutH5437 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to us, to slayH4191 us and our people.H5971 So they sentH7971 and gatheredH622 together allH3605 the lordsH5633 of the Philistines,H6430 and said,H559 SendH7971 away the arkH727 of the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 and let it goH7725 againH7725 to his own place,H4725 that it slayH4191 us not, and our people:H5971 for there was a deadlyH4194 destructionH4103 throughout allH3605 the city;H5892 the handH3027 of GodH430 was veryH3966 heavyH3513 there.

In the dayH3117 of my troubleH6869 I soughtH1875 the Lord:H136 my soreH3027 ranH5064 in the night,H3915 and ceasedH6313 not: my soulH5315 refusedH3985 to be comforted.H5162 I rememberedH2142 God,H430 and was troubled:H1993 I complained,H7878 and my spiritH7307 was overwhelmed.H5848 Selah.H5542 You holdH270 my eyesH5869 waking:H8109 I am so troubledH6470 that I cannotH3808 speak.H1696 I have consideredH2803 the daysH3117 of old,H6924 the yearsH8141 of ancientH5769 times. I callH2142 to remembranceH2142 my songH5058 in the night:H3915 I communeH7878 with my own heart:H3824 and my spiritH7307 made diligent search.H2664 Will the LordH136 castH2186 off for ever?H5769 and will he be favorableH7521 noH3808 more?H3254 Is his mercyH2617 cleanH656 goneH656 for ever?H5331 does his promiseH562 failH1584 for ever more?H1755 Has GodH410 forgottenH7911 to be gracious?H2589 has he in angerH639 shutH7092 up his tender mercies?H7356 Selah.H5542 And I said,H559 ThisH1931 is my infirmity:H2470 but I will rememberH2142 the yearsH8141 of the rightH3225 handH3225 of the mostH5945 High.H5945 I will rememberH2142 the worksH4611 of the LORD:H3050 surely I will rememberH2142 your wondersH6382 of old.H6924 I will meditateH1897 also of allH3605 your work,H6467 and talkH7878 of your doings.H5949 Your way,H1870 O God,H430 is in the sanctuary:H6944 whoH4310 is so greatH1419 a GodH410 as our God?H430 You are the GodH410 that doH6213 wonders:H6382 you have declaredH3045 your strengthH5797 among the people.H5971 You have with your armH2220 redeemedH1350 your people,H5971 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 and Joseph.H3130 Selah.H5542 The watersH4325 sawH7200 you, O God,H430 the watersH4325 sawH7200 you; they were afraid:H2342 the depthsH8415 alsoH637 were troubled.H7264 The cloudsH5645 pouredH2229 out water:H4325 the skiesH7834 sentH5414 out a sound:H6963 your arrowsH2687 alsoH637 wentH1980 abroad.H1980 The voiceH6963 of your thunderH7482 was in the heaven:H1534 the lightningH1300 lightenedH215 the world:H8398 the earthH776 trembledH7264 and shook.H7493 Your wayH1870 is in the sea,H3220 and your pathH7635 in the greatH7227 waters,H4325 and your footstepsH6119 are not known.H3045 You ledH5148 your peopleH5971 like a flockH6629 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 and Aaron.H175 http://scrbchurch.com/en/component/zefaniabible/reading/ttb/akjv/98.html?Itemid=378?ord=040526#3 http://scrbchurch.com/en/component/zefaniabible/reading/ttb/akjv/98.html?Itemid=378?ord=040526#3 Sun, 05 Apr 26 00:00:00 -0400 Moreover,G1161 brothers,G80 we doG1107 you to witG1107 of the graceG5485 of GodG2316 bestowedG1325 onG1722 the churchesG1577 of Macedonia;G3109 How that in a greatG4183 trialG1382 of afflictionG2347 the abundanceG4050 of their joyG5479 and their deepG899 povertyG4432 aboundedG4052 to the richesG4149 of their liberality.G572 For to their power,G1411 I bearG3140 record,G3140 yes, and beyondG5228 their powerG1411 they were willingG830 of themselves;G830 PrayingG1189 us with muchG4183 entreatyG3874 that we would receiveG1209 the gift,G5485 and take on us the fellowshipG2842 of the ministeringG1248 to the saints.G40 And this they did, not as we hoped,G1679 but firstG4412 gaveG1325 their own selvesG1438 to the Lord,G2962 and to us by the willG2307 of God.G2316 SoG1519 that we desiredG3870 Titus,G5103 that as he had begun,G4278 soG3779 he would alsoG2532 finishG2005 in you the sameG846 graceG5485 also.G2532 Therefore,G235 as you aboundG4052 in everyG3956 thing, in faith,G4102 and utterance,G3056 and knowledge,G1108 and in allG3956 diligence,G4710 and in yourG5209 loveG26 to us, see that you aboundG4052 in thisG5124 graceG5485 also.G2532 I speakG3004 not by commandment,G2003 but by occasionG1223 of the forwardnessG4710 of others,G2087 and to proveG1381 the sincerityG1103 of yourG5212 love.G26 For you knowG1097 the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 that, though he was rich,G4145 yet for yourG5216 sakes he becameG4433 poor,G4433 that you through his povertyG4432 might be rich.G4147 And hereinG1722 G5129 I giveG1325 my advice:G1106 for thisG5124 is expedientG4851 for you, whoG3748 have begunG4278 before,G4278 not onlyG3440 to do,G4160 but alsoG2532 to be forwardG2309 a yearG4070 ago.G575 NowG3570 thereforeG2532 performG2005 the doingG4160 of it; that as there was a readinessG4288 to will,G2309 soG3779 there may be a performanceG2005 alsoG2532 out of that which you have.G2192 For ifG1487 there be firstG4295 a willingG4288 mind,G4288 it is acceptedG2144 accordingG2526 to that a manG5100 has,G2192 and not accordingG2526 to that he hasG2192 not. For I mean not that otherG243 men be eased,G425 and you burdened:G2347 But by an equality,G2471 that nowG3568 atG1722 thisG3588 G3568 timeG2540 yourG5216 abundanceG4051 may be a supply for their want,G5303 that their abundanceG4051 alsoG2532 may be a supply for yourG5216 want:G5303 that there may be equality:G2471 As it is written,G1125 He that had gathered muchG4183 had nothingG3756 over;G4121 and he that had gathered littleG3641 had noG3756 lack.G1641 But thanksG5485 be to God,G2316 whichG3588 putG1325 the sameG846 earnestG4710 careG4710 intoG1722 the heartG2588 of TitusG5103 for you. For indeedG3303 he acceptedG1209 the exhortation;G3874 but beingG5225 moreG4707 forward,G4707 of his ownG830 accordG830 he wentG1831 to you. And we have sentG4842 with him the brother,G80 whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is in the gospelG2098 throughoutG1223 allG3956 the churches;G1577 And not that only,G3440 but who was alsoG2532 chosenG5500 of the churchesG1577 to travelG4898 with us with thisG5124 grace,G5485 whichG3588 is administeredG1247 by us to the gloryG1391 of the sameG3778 Lord,G2962 and declaration of yourG5216 readyG4288 mind:G4288 AvoidingG4724 this,G5124 that noG3361 manG5100 should blameG3469 us in thisG5026 abundanceG100 whichG3588 is administeredG1247 by us: ProvidingG4306 for honestG2570 things, not onlyG3440 in the sightG1799 of the Lord,G2962 but alsoG2532 in the sightG1799 of men.G444 And we have sentG4842 with them our brother,G80 whomG3739 we have oftentimesG4178 provedG1381 diligentG4705 in manyG4183 things, but nowG3570 muchG4183 moreG4707 diligent,G4707 on the greatG4183 confidenceG4006 whichG3588 I have in you. WhetherG1535 any do inquire of Titus,G5103 he is my partnerG2844 and fellow helperG4904 concerningG1519 you: orG1535 our brothersG80 be inquired of, they are the messengersG652 of the churches,G1577 and the gloryG1391 of Christ.G5547 WhyG3767 showG1731 you to them, and beforeG1519 G4383 the churches,G1577 the proofG1732 of yourG5216 love,G26 and of our boastingG2746 onG5228 yourG5216 behalf.G5228
