Then Samuel H8050 told H1696 the people H5971 the manner H4941 of the kingdom, H4410 and wrote H3789 it in a book, H5612 and laid H3240 it up before H6440 the LORD. H3068 And Samuel H8050 sent H7971 all H3605 the people H5971 away, every man H376 to his house. H1004

When H3588 you are come H935 to the land H776 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 gives H5414 you, and shall possess H3423 it, and shall dwell H3427 therein, and shall say, H559 I will set H7760 a king H4428 over H5921 me, like as all H3605 the nations H1471 that are about H5439 me;

But he shall not multiply H7235 horses H5483 to himself, nor H3808 cause the people H5971 to return H7725 to Egypt, H4714 to the end H4616 that he should multiply H7235 horses: H5483 for as much as the LORD H3068 has said H559 to you, You shall from now on H3254 return H7725 no H3808 more H5750 that way. H1870

And it shall be, when he sits H3427 on the throne H3678 of his kingdom, H4467 that he shall write H3789 him a copy H4932 of this H2063 law H8451 in a book H5612 out of that which is before H6440 the priests H3548 the Levites: H3881

That his heart H3824 be not lifted H7311 up above his brothers, H251 and that he turn H5493 not aside from the commandment, H4687 to the right H3225 hand, H3225 or to the left: H8040 to the end H4616 that he may prolong H748 his days H3117 in his kingdom, H4467 he, and his children, H1121 in the middle H7130 of Israel. H3478

And there was sore H2389 war H4421 against H5921 the Philistines H6430 all H3605 the days H3117 of Saul: H7586 and when Saul H7586 saw H7200 any H3605 strong H1368 man, H376 or any H3605 valiant H2428 man, H1121 he took H622 him to him.

But of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did Solomon H8010 make H5414 no H3808 slaves: H5650 but they were men H582 of war, H4421 and his servants, H5650 and his princes, H8269 and his captains, H7991 and rulers H8269 of his chariots, H7393 and his horsemen. H6571

These H428 were the chief H8269 of the officers H5324 that were over H5921 Solomon's H8010 work, H4399 five H2568 hundred H3967 and fifty, H2572 which bore H7287 rule H7287 over the people H5971 that worked H6213 in the work. H4399

And Solomon H8010 gathered H622 together chariots H7393 and horsemen: H6571 and he had a thousand H505 and four H702 hundred H3967 chariots, H7393 and twelve H8147 H6240 thousand H505 horsemen, H6571 whom he bestowed H3240 in the cities H5892 for chariots, H7393 and with the king H4428 at Jerusalem. H3389

Your father H1 made our yoke H5923 grievous: H7185 now H6258 therefore make you the grievous H7186 service H5656 of your father, H1 and his heavy H3515 yoke H5923 which H834 he put H5414 on us, lighter, H7043 and we will serve H5647 you.

And the young H3206 men that were grown H1431 up with him spoke H1696 to him, saying, H559 Thus H3541 shall you speak H559 to this H2088 people H5971 that spoke H1696 to you, saying, H559 Your father H1 made our yoke H5923 heavy, H3513 but make you it lighter H7043 to us; thus H3541 shall you say H1696 to them, My little H6996 finger shall be thicker H5666 than my father's H1 loins. H4975

Also he built H1129 towers H4026 in the desert, H4057 and dig H2672 many H7227 wells: H953 for he had H1961 much H7227 cattle, H929 both in the low H8219 country, and in the plains: H4334 farmers H406 also, and vine H3755 dressers H3755 in the mountains, H2022 and in Carmel: H3760 for he loved H157 husbandry. H127

The whole H3605 number H4557 of the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of the mighty H1368 men of valor H2428 were two thousand H505 and six H8337 hundred. H3967

And Uzziah H5818 prepared H3559 for them throughout all H3605 the host H6635 shields, H4043 and spears, H7420 and helmets, H3553 and habergeons, H8302 and bows, H7198 and slings H7050 to cast stones. H68

And it came H1961 to pass after H310 this, H3651 that Absalom H53 prepared H6213 him chariots H4818 and horses, H5483 and fifty H2572 men H376 to run H7323 before H6440 him.

Then Adonijah H138 the son H1121 of Haggith H2294 exalted H5375 himself, saying, H559 I will be king: H4427 and he prepared H6213 him chariots H7393 and horsemen, H6571 and fifty H2572 men H376 to run H7323 before H6440 him.

And the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was on H413 Elijah; H452 and he girded H8151 up his loins, H4975 and ran H7323 before H6440 Ahab H256 to the entrance H935 of Jezreel. H3157
