And so it was, when H518 Israel H3478 had sown, H2232 that the Midianites H4080 came H5927 up, and the Amalekites, H6003 and the children H1121 of the east, H6924 even they came H5927 up against H5921 them;
For they came H5927 up with their cattle H4735 and their tents, H168 and they came H935 as grasshoppers H697 for multitude; H7230 for both they and their camels H1581 were without H369 number: H4557 and they entered H935 into the land H776 to destroy H7843 it.
And the woman H802 made haste, H4116 and ran, H7323 and showed H5046 her husband, H376 and said H559 to him, Behold, H2009 the man H376 has appeared H7200 to me, that came H935 to me the other day. H3117
And Gilead's H1568 wife H802 bore H3205 him sons; H1121 and his wife's H802 sons H1121 grew H1431 up, and they thrust H1644 out Jephthah, H3316 and said H559 to him, You shall not inherit H5157 in our father's H1 house; H1004 for you are the son H1121 of a strange H312 woman. H802
And they said H559 to Jephthah, H3316 Come, H3212 and be our captain, H7101 that we may fight H3898 with the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983
7
And Jephthah H3316 said H559 to the elders H2205 of Gilead, H1568 Did not you hate H8130 me, and expel H1644 me out of my father's H1 house? H1004 and why H4069 are you come H935 to me now H6258 when H834 you are in distress? H6887
Now the Philistines H6430 gathered H622 together their armies H4264 to battle, H4421 and were gathered H622 together at Shochoh, H7755 which H834 belongs to Judah, H3063 and pitched H2583 between H996 Shochoh H7755 and Azekah, H5825 in Ephesdammim. H658
And he stood H5975 and cried H7121 to the armies H4634 of Israel, H3478 and said H559 to them, Why H4100 are you come H3318 out to set your battle H4421 in array? H6186 am not I a Philistine, H6430 and you servants H5650 to Saul? H7586 choose H1262 you a man H376 for you, and let him come H3381 down H3381 to me.
9
If H518 he be able H3201 to fight H3898 with me, and to kill H5221 me, then will we be your servants: H5650 but if H518 I prevail H3201 against him, and kill H5221 him, then shall you be our servants, H5650 and serve H5647 us.
For they that dwell G2730 at G1722 Jerusalem, G2419 and their rulers, G758 because they knew G50 him not, nor G2532 yet the voices G5456 of the prophets G4396 which G3588 are read G314 every G3956 sabbath G4521 day, they have fulfilled G4137 them in condemning G2919 him.
28
And though they found G2147 no G3367 cause G156 of death G2288 in him, yet desired G154 they Pilate G4091 that he should be slain. G337
Then said H559 Saul H7586 to his servants, H5650 Seek H1245 me a woman H802 that has H1172 a familiar spirit, H178 that I may go H3212 to her, and inquire H1875 of her. And his servants H5650 said H559 to him, Behold, H2009 there is a woman H802 that has H1172 a familiar spirit H178 at Endor. H5874
And the woman H802 said H559 to him, Behold, H2009 you know H3045 what H853H834 Saul H7586 has done, H6213 how he has cut H3772 off those that have familiar spirits, H178 and the wizards, H3049 out of the land: H776 why H4100 then lay you a snare H5367 for my life, H5315 to cause me to die? H4191
And he said H559 to her, What H4100 form H8389 is he of? And she said, H559 An old H2205 man H376 comes H5927 up; and he is covered H5844 with a mantle. H4598 And Saul H7586 perceived H3045 that it was Samuel, H8050 and he stooped H6915 with his face H639 to the ground, H776 and bowed H7812 himself.
And the LORD H3068 has done H6213 to him, as he spoke H1696 by me: for the LORD H3068 has rent H7167 the kingdom H4467 out of your hand, H3027 and given H5414 it to your neighbor, H7453 even to David: H1732
But he refused, H3985 and said, H559 I will not eat. H398 But his servants, H5650 together with the woman, H802 compelled H6555 him; and he listened H8085 to their voice. H6963 So he arose H6965 from the earth, H776 and sat H3427 on the bed. H4296
Moses H4872 and Aaron H175 among his priests, H3548 and Samuel H8050 among them that call H7121 on his name; H8034 they called H7121 on the LORD, H3068 and he answered H6030 them.
Of which G3739 salvation G4991 the prophets G4396 have inquired G1567 and searched G1830 diligently, who G3588 prophesied G4395 of the grace G5485 that should come to you:
To whom G3739 it was revealed, G601 that not to themselves, G1438 but to us they did minister G1247 the things, G846 which G3739 are now G3568 reported G312 to you by them that have preached G2097 the gospel G2097 to you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 sent G649 down from heaven; G3772 which G3739 things the angels G32 desire G1937 to look G3879 into. G1519
That you may be mindful G3403 of the words G4487 which were spoken G4280 before G4280 by the holy G40 prophets, G4396 and of the commandment G1785 of us the apostles G652 of the Lord G2962 and Savior: G4990
