הֵמָּה מֵֽיטִיבִים אֶת-לִבָּם וְהִנֵּה אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר אַנְשֵׁי בְנֵֽי-בְלִיַּעַל נָסַבּוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת מִֽתְדַּפְּקִים עַל-הַדָּלֶת וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֶל-הָאִישׁ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת הַזָּקֵן לֵאמֹר הוֹצֵא אֶת-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּא אֶל-בֵּֽיתְךָ וְנֵֽדָעֶֽנּוּ׃
Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
וַיֵּצֵא אֲלֵיהֶם הָאִישׁ בַּעַל הַבַּיִת וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אַל-אַחַי אַל-תָּרֵעוּ נָא אַֽחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר-בָּא הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אַל-בֵּיתִי אַֽל-תַּעֲשׂוּ אֶת-הַנְּבָלָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
וַתָּבֹא הָֽאִשָּׁה לִפְנוֹת הַבֹּקֶר וַתִּפֹּל פֶּתַח בֵּית-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-אֲדוֹנֶיהָ שָּׁם עַד-הָאֽוֹר׃
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
וַיָּבֹא אֶל-בֵּיתוֹ וַיִּקַּח אֶת-הַֽמַּאֲכֶלֶת וַיַּֽחֲזֵק בְּפִֽילַגְשׁוֹ וַֽיְנַתְּחֶהָ לַֽעֲצָמֶיהָ לִשְׁנֵים עָשָׂר נְתָחִים וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֶהָ בְּכֹל גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
וַיַּעַן הָאִישׁ הַלֵּוִי אִישׁ הָֽאִשָּׁה הַנִּרְצָחָה וַיֹּאמַר הַגִּבְעָתָה אֲשֶׁר לְבִנְיָמִן בָּאתִי אֲנִי וּפִֽילַגְשִׁי לָלֽוּן׃
And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
וְלָקַחְנוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים לַמֵּאָה לְכֹל׀ שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמֵאָה לָאֶלֶף וְאֶלֶף לָֽרְבָבָה לָקַחַת צֵדָה לָעָם לַֽעֲשׂוֹת לְבוֹאָם לְגֶבַע בִּנְיָמִן כְּכָל-הַנְּבָלָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ כָל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-הָעָם וַיָּבֹאוּ בֵֽית-אֵל וַיִּבְכּוּ וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיָּצוּמוּ בַיּוֹם-הַהוּא עַד-הָעָרֶב וַֽיַּעֲלוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
וַיָּבֹאוּ מִנֶּגֶד לַגִּבְעָה עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ בָּחוּר מִכָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַמִּלְחָמָה כָּבֵדָה וְהֵם לֹא יָֽדְעוּ כִּֽי-נֹגַעַת עֲלֵיהֶם הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
וַיָּבֹא הָעָם בֵּֽית-אֵל וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם עַד-הָעֶרֶב לִפְנֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיִּשְׂאוּ קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ בְּכִי גָדֽוֹל׃
And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִי אֶחָד מִשִּׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּה וְהִנֵּה לֹא בָא-אִישׁ אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה מִיָּבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד אֶל-הַקָּהָֽל׃
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
וַֽיִּמְצְאוּ מִיּֽוֹשְׁבֵי׀ יָבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת נַֽעֲרָה בְתוּלָה אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יָדְעָה אִישׁ לְמִשְׁכַּב זָכָר וַיָּבִאוּ אוֹתָם אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה שִׁלֹה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָֽעַן׃
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
וְהָיָה כִּֽי-יָבֹאוּ אֲבוֹתָם אוֹ אֲחֵיהֶם (לרוב) לָרִיב׀ אֵלֵינוּ וְאָמַרְנוּ אֲלֵיהֶם חָנּוּנוּ אוֹתָם כִּי לֹא לָקַחְנוּ אִישׁ אִשְׁתּוֹ בַּמִּלְחָמָה כִּי לֹא אַתֶּם נְתַתֶּם לָהֶם כָּעֵת תֶּאְשָֽׁמוּ׃
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
וְשֵׁם הָאִישׁ אֱֽלִימֶלֶךְ וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ נָֽעֳמִי וְשֵׁם שְׁנֵֽי-בָנָיו׀ מַחְלוֹן וְכִלְיוֹן אֶפְרָתִים מִבֵּית לֶחֶם יְהוּדָה וַיָּבֹאוּ שְׂדֵי-מוֹאָב וַיִּֽהְיוּ-שָֽׁם׃
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
וַתֵּלַכְנָה שְׁתֵּיהֶם עַד-בּוֹאָנָה בֵּית לָחֶם וַיְהִי כְּבֹאָנָה בֵּית לֶחֶם וַתֵּהֹם כָּל-הָעִיר עֲלֵיהֶן וַתֹּאמַרְנָה הֲזֹאת נָֽעֳמִֽי׃
So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
וַתָּשָׁב נָֽעֳמִי וְרוּת הַמּֽוֹאֲבִיָּה כַלָּתָהּ עִמָּהּ הַשָּׁבָה מִשְּׂדֵי מוֹאָב וְהֵמָּה בָּאוּ בֵּית לֶחֶם בִּתְחִלַּת קְצִיר שְׂעֹרִֽים׃
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתָּבוֹא וַתְּלַקֵּט בַּשָּׂדֶה אַֽחֲרֵי הַקֹּֽצְרִים וַיִּקֶר מִקְרֶהָ חֶלְקַת הַשָּׂדֶה לְבֹעַז אֲשֶׁר מִמִּשְׁפַּחַת אֱלִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
וְהִנֵּה-בֹעַז בָּא מִבֵּית לֶחֶם וַיֹּאמֶר לַקּֽוֹצְרִים יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ יְבָֽרֶכְךָ יְהוָֽה׃
And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
וַתֹּאמֶר אֲלַקֳטָה-נָּא וְאָֽסַפְתִּי בָֽעֳמָרִים אַֽחֲרֵי הַקּֽוֹצְרִים וַתָּבוֹא וַֽתַּעֲמוֹד מֵאָז הַבֹּקֶר וְעַד-עַתָּה זֶה שִׁבְתָּהּ הַבַּיִת מְעָֽט׃
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
יְשַׁלֵּם יְהוָה פָּֽעֳלֵךְ וּתְהִי מַשְׂכֻּרְתֵּךְ שְׁלֵמָה מֵעִם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בָּאת לַֽחֲסוֹת תַּֽחַת-כְּנָפָֽיו׃
The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
וַתִּשָּׂא וַתָּבוֹא הָעִיר וַתֵּרֶא חֲמוֹתָהּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-לִקֵּטָה וַתּוֹצֵא וַתִּתֶּן-לָהּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר-הוֹתִרָה מִשָּׂבְעָֽהּ׃
And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
וִיהִי בְשָׁכְבוֹ וְיָדַעַתְּ אֶת-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִשְׁכַּב-שָׁם וּבָאת וְגִלִּית מַרְגְּלֹתָיו (ושכבתי) וְשָׁכָבְתְּ וְהוּא יַגִּיד לָךְ אֵת אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשִֽׂין׃
And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
וַיֹּאכַל בֹּעַז וַיֵּשְׁתְּ וַיִּיטַב לִבּוֹ וַיָּבֹא לִשְׁכַּב בִּקְצֵה הָֽעֲרֵמָה וַתָּבֹא בַלָּט וַתְּגַל מַרְגְּלֹתָיו וַתִּשְׁכָּֽב׃
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
וַתִּשְׁכַּב (מרגלתו) מַרְגְּלוֹתָיוֹ עַד-הַבֹּקֶר וַתָּקָם (בטרום) בְּטֶרֶם יַכִּיר אִישׁ אֶת-רֵעֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אַל-יִוָּדַע כִּי-בָאָה הָֽאִשָּׁה הַגֹּֽרֶן׃
And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
וַיֹּאמֶר הָבִי הַמִּטְפַּחַת אֲשֶׁר-עָלַיִךְ וְאֶֽחֳזִי-בָהּ וַתֹּאחֶז בָּהּ וַיָּמָד שֵׁשׁ-שְׂעֹרִים וַיָּשֶׁת עָלֶיהָ וַיָּבֹא הָעִֽיר׃
Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
וַתָּבוֹא אֶל-חֲמוֹתָהּ וַתֹּאמֶר מִי-אַתְּ בִּתִּי וַתַּגֶּד-לָהּ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר עָֽשָׂה-לָהּ הָאִֽישׁ׃
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
וַתֹּאמֶר שֵׁשׁ-הַשְּׂעֹרִים הָאֵלֶּה נָתַן לִי כִּי אָמַר (אלי) אַל-תָּבוֹאִי רֵיקָם אֶל-חֲמוֹתֵֽךְ׃
And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-בַּשַּׁעַר וְהַזְּקֵנִים עֵדִים יִתֵּן יְהוָה אֶֽת-הָאִשָּׁה הַבָּאָה אֶל-בֵּיתֶךָ כְּרָחֵל׀ וּכְלֵאָה אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ שְׁתֵּיהֶם אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽעֲשֵׂה-חַיִל בְּאֶפְרָתָה וּקְרָא-שֵׁם בְּבֵית לָֽחֶם׃
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
וַיִּקַּח בֹּעַז אֶת-רוּת וַתְּהִי-לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה וַיָּבֹא אֵלֶיהָ וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה לָהּ הֵֽרָיוֹן וַתֵּלֶד בֵּֽן׃
So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיָּשֻׁבוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-בֵּיתָם הָֽרָמָתָה וַיֵּדַע אֶלְקָנָה אֶת-חַנָּה אִשְׁתּוֹ וַֽיִּזְכְּרֶהָ יְהוָֽה׃
And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
וְחַנָּה לֹא עָלָתָה כִּֽי-אָמְרָה לְאִישָׁהּ עַד יִגָּמֵל הַנַּעַר וַהֲבִֽאֹתִיו וְנִרְאָה אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה וְיָשַׁב שָׁם עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
וַתַּֽעֲלֵהוּ עִמָּהּ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר גְּמָלַתּוּ בְּפָרִים שְׁלֹשָׁה וְאֵיפָה אַחַת קֶמַח וְנֵבֶל יַיִן וַתְּבִאֵהוּ בֵית-יְהוָה שִׁלוֹ וְהַנַּעַר נָֽעַר׃
And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
וַֽיִּשְׁחֲטוּ אֶת-הַפָּר וַיָּבִאוּ אֶת-הַנַּעַר אֶל-עֵלִֽי׃
And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
וּמִשְׁפַּט הַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֶת-הָעָם כָּל-אִישׁ זֹבֵחַ זֶבַח וּבָא נַעַר הַכֹּהֵן כְּבַשֵּׁל הַבָּשָׂר וְהַמַּזְלֵג שְׁלֹשׁ הַשִּׁנַּיִם בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
And the priests' custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
וְהִכָּה בַכִּיּוֹר אוֹ בַדּוּד אוֹ בַקַּלַּחַת אוֹ בַפָּרוּר כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יַֽעֲלֶה הַמַּזְלֵג יִקַּח הַכֹּהֵן בּוֹ כָּכָה יַֽעֲשׂוּ לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַבָּאִים שָׁם בְּשִׁלֹֽה׃
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
גַּם בְּטֶרֶם יַקְטִרוּן אֶת-הַחֵלֶב וּבָא׀ נַעַר הַכֹּהֵן וְאָמַר לָאִישׁ הַזֹּבֵחַ תְּנָה בָשָׂר לִצְלוֹת לַכֹּהֵן וְלֹֽא-יִקַּח מִמְּךָ בָּשָׂר מְבֻשָּׁל כִּי אִם-חָֽי׃
Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
וַיָּבֹא אִישׁ-אֱלֹהִים אֶל-עֵלִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הֲנִגְלֹה נִגְלֵיתִי אֶל-בֵּית אָבִיךָ בִּֽהְיוֹתָם בְּמִצְרַיִם לְבֵית פַּרְעֹֽה׃
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים וְגָֽדַעְתִּי אֶת-זְרֹעֲךָ וְאֶת-זְרֹעַ בֵּית אָבִיךָ מִֽהְיוֹת זָקֵן בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ׃
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
וְזֶה-לְּךָ הָאוֹת אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא אֶל-שְׁנֵי בָנֶיךָ אֶל-חָפְנִי וּפִֽינְחָס בְּיוֹם אֶחָד יָמוּתוּ שְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃
And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
וְהָיָה כָּל-הַנּוֹתָר בְּבֵיתְךָ יָבוֹא לְהִשְׁתַּֽחֲוֹת לוֹ לַֽאֲגוֹרַת כֶּסֶף וְכִכַּר-לָחֶם וְאָמַר סְפָחֵנִי נָא אֶל-אַחַת הַכְּהֻנּוֹת לֶֽאֱכֹל פַּת-לָֽחֶם׃
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
וַיָּבֹא יְהוָה וַיִּתְיַצַּב וַיִּקְרָא כְפַֽעַם-בְּפַעַם שְׁמוּאֵל׀ שְׁמוּאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל דַּבֵּר כִּי שֹׁמֵעַ עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃
And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
וַיָּבֹא הָעָם אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָמָּה נְגָפָנוּ יְהוָה הַיּוֹם לִפְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים נִקְחָה אֵלֵינוּ מִשִּׁלֹה אֶת-אֲרוֹן בְּרִית יְהוָה וְיָבֹא בְקִרְבֵּנוּ וְיֹֽשִׁעֵנוּ מִכַּף אֹֽיְבֵֽינוּ׃
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיָּרִעוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וַתֵּהֹם הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-קוֹל הַתְּרוּעָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ מֶה קוֹל הַתְּרוּעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת בְּמַֽחֲנֵה הָֽעִבְרִים וַיֵּדְעוּ כִּי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה בָּא אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
וַיִּֽרְאוּ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים כִּי אָֽמְרוּ בָּא אֱלֹהִים אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אוֹי לָנוּ כִּי לֹא הָֽיְתָה כָּזֹאת אֶתְמוֹל שִׁלְשֹֽׁם׃
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
וַיָּרָץ אִישׁ-בִּנְיָמִן מֵהַמַּעֲרָכָה וַיָּבֹא שִׁלֹה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וּמַדָּיו קְרֻעִים וַֽאֲדָמָה עַל-רֹאשֽׁוֹ׃
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
וַיָּבוֹא וְהִנֵּה עֵלִי יֹשֵׁב עַֽל-הַכִּסֵּא (יך) יַד דֶּרֶךְ מְצַפֶּה כִּֽי-הָיָה לִבּוֹ חָרֵד עַל אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְהָאִישׁ בָּא לְהַגִּיד בָּעִיר וַתִּזְעַק כָּל-הָעִֽיר׃
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
וַיִּשְׁמַע עֵלִי אֶת-קוֹל הַצְּעָקָה וַיֹּאמֶר מֶה קוֹל הֶֽהָמוֹן הַזֶּה וְהָאִישׁ מִהַר וַיָּבֹא וַיַּגֵּד לְעֵלִֽי׃
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
וַיֹּאמֶר הָאִישׁ אֶל-עֵלִי אָֽנֹכִי הַבָּא מִן-הַמַּֽעֲרָכָה וַֽאֲנִי מִן-הַמַּֽעֲרָכָה נַסְתִּי הַיּוֹם וַיֹּאמֶר מֶֽה-הָיָה הַדָּבָר בְּנִֽי׃
And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים לָֽקְחוּ אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיְבִאֻהוּ מֵאֶבֶן הָעֵזֶר אַשְׁדּֽוֹדָה׃
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
וַיִּקְחוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתוֹ בֵּית דָּגוֹן וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתוֹ אֵצֶל דָּגֽוֹן׃
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
עַל-כֵּן לֹֽא-יִדְרְכוּ כֹֽהֲנֵי דָגוֹן וְכָֽל-הַבָּאִים בֵּית-דָּגוֹן עַל-מִפְתַּן דָּגוֹן בְּאַשְׁדּוֹד עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
וַֽיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עֶקְרוֹן וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עֶקְרוֹן וַיִּזְעֲקוּ הָֽעֶקְרֹנִים לֵאמֹר הֵסַבּוּ אֵלַי אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽהֲמִיתֵנִי וְאֶת-עַמִּֽי׃
Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
וְהָֽעֲגָלָה בָּאָה אֶל-שְׂדֵה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֵּֽית-הַשִּׁמְשִׁי וַתַּֽעֲמֹד שָׁם וְשָׁם אֶבֶן גְּדוֹלָה וַֽיְבַקְּעוּ אֶת-עֲצֵי הָֽעֲגָלָה וְאֶת-הַפָּרוֹת הֶֽעֱלוּ עֹלָה לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Beth-shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
וַיָּבֹאוּ אַנְשֵׁי׀ קִרְיַת יְעָרִים וַֽיַּעֲלוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-בֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב בַּגִּבְעָה וְאֶת-אֶלְעָזָר בְּנוֹ קִדְּשׁוּ לִשְׁמֹר אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָֽה׃
And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
וַיִּכָּֽנְעוּ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְלֹֽא-יָסְפוּ עוֹד לָבוֹא בִּגְבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתְּהִי יַד-יְהוָה בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים כֹּל יְמֵי שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל הָֽרָמָֽתָה׃
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
הֵמָּה בָּאוּ בְּאֶרֶץ צוּף וְשָׁאוּל אָמַר לְנַֽעֲרוֹ אֲשֶׁר-עִמּוֹ לְכָה וְנָשׁוּבָה פֶּן-יֶחְדַּל אָבִי מִן-הָֽאֲתֹנוֹת וְדָאַג לָֽנוּ׃
And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הִנֵּה-נָא אִישׁ-אֱלֹהִים בָּעִיר הַזֹּאת וְהָאִישׁ נִכְבָּד כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-יְדַבֵּר בּוֹא יָבוֹא עַתָּה נֵלֲכָה שָּׁם אוּלַי יַגִּיד לָנוּ אֶת-דַּרְכֵּנוּ אֲשֶׁר-הָלַכְנוּ עָלֶֽיהָ׃
And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל לְנַֽעֲרוֹ וְהִנֵּה נֵלֵךְ וּמַה-נָּבִיא לָאִישׁ כִּי הַלֶּחֶם אָזַל מִכֵּלֵינוּ וּתְשׁוּרָה אֵין-לְהָבִיא לְאִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים מָה אִתָּֽנוּ׃
Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
וַתַּֽעֲנֶינָה אוֹתָם וַתֹּאמַרְנָה יֵּשׁ הִנֵּה לְפָנֶיךָ מַהֵר׀ עַתָּה כִּי הַיּוֹם בָּא לָעִיר כִּי זֶבַח הַיּוֹם לָעָם בַּבָּמָֽה׃
And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
כְּבֹֽאֲכֶם הָעִיר כֵּן תִּמְצְאוּן אֹתוֹ בְּטֶרֶם יַֽעֲלֶה הַבָּמָתָה לֶֽאֱכֹל כִּי לֹֽא-יֹאכַל הָעָם עַד-בֹּאוֹ כִּי-הוּא יְבָרֵךְ הַזֶּבַח אַֽחֲרֵי-כֵן יֹֽאכְלוּ הַקְּרֻאִים וְעַתָּה עֲלוּ כִּֽי-אֹתוֹ כְהַיּוֹם תִּמְצְאוּן אֹתֽוֹ׃
As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
וַֽיַּעֲלוּ הָעִיר הֵמָּה בָּאִים בְּתוֹךְ הָעִיר וְהִנֵּה שְׁמוּאֵל יֹצֵא לִקְרָאתָם לַֽעֲלוֹת הַבָּמָֽה׃
And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
וַֽיהוָה גָּלָה אֶת-אֹזֶן שְׁמוּאֵל יוֹם אֶחָד לִפְנֵי בֽוֹא-שָׁאוּל לֵאמֹֽר׃
Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
כָּעֵת׀ מָחָר אֶשְׁלַח אֵלֶיךָ אִישׁ מֵאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן וּמְשַׁחְתּוֹ לְנָגִיד עַל-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-עַמִּי מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים כִּי רָאִיתִי אֶת-עַמִּי כִּי בָּאָה צַֽעֲקָתוֹ אֵלָֽי׃
To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-שָׁאוּל וְאֶֽת-נַעֲרוֹ וַיְבִיאֵם לִשְׁכָּתָה וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם מָקוֹם בְּרֹאשׁ הַקְּרוּאִים וְהֵמָּה כִּשְׁלֹשִׁם אִֽישׁ׃
And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
וְחָֽלַפְתָּ מִשָּׁם וָהָלְאָה וּבָאתָ עַד-אֵלוֹן תָּבוֹר וּמְצָאוּךָ שָּׁם שְׁלֹשָׁה אֲנָשִׁים עֹלִים אֶל-הָֽאֱלֹהִים בֵּֽית-אֵל אֶחָד נֹשֵׂא׀ שְׁלֹשָׁה גְדָיִים וְאֶחָד נֹשֵׂא שְׁלֹשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת לֶחֶם וְאֶחָד נֹשֵׂא נֵֽבֶל-יָֽיִן׃
Then 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 Beth-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
אַחַר כֵּן תָּבוֹא גִּבְעַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-שָׁם נְצִבֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וִיהִי כְבֹֽאֲךָ שָׁם הָעִיר וּפָֽגַעְתָּ חֶבֶל נְבִאִים יֹֽרְדִים מֵֽהַבָּמָה וְלִפְנֵיהֶם נֵבֶל וְתֹף וְחָלִיל וְכִנּוֹר וְהֵמָּה מִֽתְנַבְּאִֽים׃
After 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:
וְהָיָה כִּי (תבאינה) תָבֹאנָה הָֽאֹתוֹת הָאֵלֶּה לָךְ עֲשֵׂה לְךָ אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצָא יָדֶךָ כִּי הָֽאֱלֹהִים עִמָּֽךְ׃
And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
וְיָֽרַדְתָּ לְפָנַי הַגִּלְגָּל וְהִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי יֹרֵד אֵלֶיךָ לְהַֽעֲלוֹת עֹלוֹת לִזְבֹּחַ זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תּוֹחֵל עַד-בּוֹאִי אֵלֶיךָ וְהֽוֹדַעְתִּי לְךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר תַּֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
And 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.
וְהָיָה כְּהַפְנֹתוֹ שִׁכְמוֹ לָלֶכֶת מֵעִם שְׁמוּאֵל וַיַּֽהֲפָךְ-לוֹ אֱלֹהִים לֵב אַחֵר וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל-הָֽאֹתוֹת הָאֵלֶּה בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
And 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.
וַיָּבֹאוּ שָׁם הַגִּבְעָתָה וְהִנֵּה חֶֽבֶל-נְבִאִים לִקְרָאתוֹ וַתִּצְלַח עָלָיו רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיִּתְנַבֵּא בְּתוֹכָֽם׃
And 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.
וַיְכַל מֵֽהִתְנַבּוֹת וַיָּבֹא הַבָּמָֽה׃
And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
וַיֹּאמֶר דּוֹד שָׁאוּל אֵלָיו וְאֶֽל-נַעֲרוֹ אָן הֲלַכְתֶּם וַיֹּאמֶר לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-הָאֲתֹנוֹת וַנִּרְאֶה כִי-אַיִן וַנָּבוֹא אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
And 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.
וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ-עוֹד בַּֽיהוָה הֲבָא עוֹד הֲלֹם אִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה הִנֵּה-הוּא נֶחְבָּא אֶל-הַכֵּלִֽים׃
Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
וּבְנֵי בְלִיַּעַל אָֽמְרוּ מַה-יֹּֽשִׁעֵנוּ זֶה וַיִּבְזֻהוּ וְלֹֽא-הֵבִיאוּ לוֹ מִנְחָה וַיְהִי כְּמַֽחֲרִֽישׁ׃
But 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.
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַמַּלְאָכִים גִּבְעַת שָׁאוּל וַיְדַבְּרוּ הַדְּבָרִים בְּאָזְנֵי הָעָם וַיִּשְׂאוּ כָל-הָעָם אֶת-קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּֽוּ׃
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
וְהִנֵּה שָׁאוּל בָּא אַֽחֲרֵי הַבָּקָר מִן-הַשָּׂדֶה וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל מַה-לָּעָם כִּי יִבְכּוּ וַיְסַפְּרוּ-לוֹ אֶת-דִּבְרֵי אַנְשֵׁי יָבֵֽישׁ׃
And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לַמַּלְאָכִים הַבָּאִים כֹּה תֹֽאמְרוּן לְאִישׁ יָבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד מָחָר תִּֽהְיֶֽה-לָכֶם תְּשׁוּעָה (בחם) כְּחֹם הַשָּׁמֶשׁ וַיָּבֹאוּ הַמַּלְאָכִים וַיַּגִּידוּ לְאַנְשֵׁי יָבֵישׁ וַיִּשְׂמָֽחוּ׃
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
וַיְהִי מִֽמָּחֳרָת וַיָּשֶׂם שָׁאוּל אֶת-הָעָם שְׁלֹשָׁה רָאשִׁים וַיָּבֹאוּ בְתוֹךְ-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה בְּאַשְׁמֹרֶת הַבֹּקֶר וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-עַמּוֹן עַד-חֹם הַיּוֹם וַיְהִי הַנִּשְׁאָרִים וַיָּפֻצוּ וְלֹא נִשְׁאֲרוּ-בָם שְׁנַיִם יָֽחַד׃
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
כַּֽאֲשֶׁר-בָּא יַֽעֲקֹב מִצְרָיִם וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם אֶל-יְהוָה וַיִּשְׁלַח יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה וְאֶֽת-אַהֲרֹן וַיּוֹצִיאוּ אֶת-אֲבֹֽתֵיכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וַיֹּֽשִׁבוּם בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
וַתִּרְאוּ כִּֽי-נָחָשׁ מֶלֶךְ בְּנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן בָּא עֲלֵיכֶם וַתֹּאמְרוּ לִי לֹא כִּי-מֶלֶךְ יִמְלֹךְ עָלֵינוּ וַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם מַלְכְּכֶֽם׃
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
(וייחל) וַיּוֹחֶל׀ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים לַמּוֹעֵד אֲשֶׁר שְׁמוּאֵל וְלֹא-בָא שְׁמוּאֵל הַגִּלְגָּל וַיָּפֶץ הָעָם מֵֽעָלָֽיו׃
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
וַיְהִי כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְהַֽעֲלוֹת הָֽעֹלָה וְהִנֵּה שְׁמוּאֵל בָּא וַיֵּצֵא שָׁאוּל לִקְרָאתוֹ לְבָֽרְכֽוֹ׃
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל מֶה עָשִׂיתָ וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל כִּֽי-רָאִיתִי כִֽי-נָפַץ הָעָם מֵֽעָלַי וְאַתָּה לֹֽא-בָאתָ לְמוֹעֵד הַיָּמִים וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נֶֽאֱסָפִים מִכְמָֽשׂ׃
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;
וַיִּזָּעֵק שָׁאוּל וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד-הַמִּלְחָמָה וְהִנֵּה הָֽיְתָה חֶרֶב אִישׁ בְּרֵעֵהוּ מְהוּמָה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹֽד׃
And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
וְכָל-הָאָרֶץ בָּאוּ בַיָּעַר וַיְהִי דְבַשׁ עַל-פְּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃
And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
וַיָּבֹא הָעָם אֶל-הַיַּעַר וְהִנֵּה הֵלֶךְ דְּבָשׁ וְאֵין-מַשִּׂיג יָדוֹ אֶל-פִּיו כִּֽי-יָרֵא הָעָם אֶת-הַשְּׁבֻעָֽה׃
And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
וַיָּבֹא שָׁאוּל עַד-עִיר עֲמָלֵק וַיָּרֶב בַּנָּֽחַל׃
And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
וַיַּךְ שָׁאוּל אֶת-עֲמָלֵק מֵֽחֲוִילָה בּֽוֹאֲךָ שׁוּר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם שְׁמוּאֵל לִקְרַאת שָׁאוּל בַּבֹּקֶר וַיֻּגַּד לִשְׁמוּאֵל לֵאמֹר בָּֽא-שָׁאוּל הַכַּרְמֶלָה וְהִנֵּה מַצִּיב לוֹ יָד וַיִּסֹּב וַֽיַּעֲבֹר וַיֵּרֶד הַגִּלְגָּֽל׃
And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
וַיָּבֹא שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-שָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ שָׁאוּל בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה לַֽיהוָה הֲקִימֹתִי אֶת-דְּבַר יְהוָֽה׃
And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל מֵעֲמָֽלֵקִי הֱבִיאוּם אֲשֶׁר חָמַל הָעָם עַל-מֵיטַב הַצֹּאן וְהַבָּקָר לְמַעַן זְבֹחַ לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְאֶת-הַיּוֹתֵר הֶֽחֱרַֽמְנוּ׃
And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתִּי בְּקוֹל יְהוָה וָֽאֵלֵךְ בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר-שְׁלָחַנִי יְהוָה וָֽאָבִיא אֶת-אֲגַג מֶלֶךְ עֲמָלֵק וְאֶת-עֲמָלֵק הֶֽחֱרַֽמְתִּי׃
And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֵיךְ אֵלֵךְ וְשָׁמַע שָׁאוּל וַֽהֲרָגָנִי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה עֶגְלַת בָּקָר תִּקַּח בְּיָדֶךָ וְאָמַרְתָּ לִזְבֹּחַ לַֽיהוָה בָּֽאתִי׃
And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה וַיָּבֹא בֵּית לָחֶם וַיֶּֽחֶרְדוּ זִקְנֵי הָעִיר לִקְרָאתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁלֹם בּוֹאֶֽךָ׃
And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
וַיֹּאמֶר׀ שָׁלוֹם לִזְבֹּחַ לַֽיהוָה בָּאתִי הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ וּבָאתֶם אִתִּי בַּזָּבַח וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת-יִשַׁי וְאֶת-בָּנָיו וַיִּקְרָא לָהֶם לַזָּֽבַח׃
And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
וַיְהִי בְּבוֹאָם וַיַּרְא אֶת-אֱלִיאָב וַיֹּאמֶר אַךְ נֶגֶד יְהוָה מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃
And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יִשַׁי הֲתַמּוּ הַנְּעָרִים וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד שָׁאַר הַקָּטָן וְהִנֵּה רֹעֶה בַּצֹּאן וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יִשַׁי שִׁלְחָה וְקָחֶנּוּ כִּי לֹֽא-נָסֹב עַד-בֹּאוֹ פֹֽה׃
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיְבִיאֵהוּ וְהוּא אַדְמוֹנִי עִם-יְפֵה עֵינַיִם וְטוֹב רֹאִי וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה קוּם מְשָׁחֵהוּ כִּי-זֶה הֽוּא׃
And he sent, and brought in. him Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל אֶל-עֲבָדָיו רְאוּ-נָא לִי אִישׁ מֵיטִיב לְנַגֵּן וַהֲבִֽיאוֹתֶם אֵלָֽי׃
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
