And see; if it goeth up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.

הָ֥יָה Ha.yah “it happened”

And it came to pass, from the day that the ark abode in Kiriath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Jehovah.

And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel.

וַיְהִ֤י (יְהִ֤י) y.Hi “he was”

So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

וַתְּהִ֤י (תְּהִ֤י) te.Hi “it was”

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the border thereof did Israel deliver out of the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots;

יִֽהְיֶה֙ yih.Yeh “it will be”

He will take the tenth of your flocks: and ye shall be his servants.

תִּֽהְיוּ־ tih.yu- “you will become”

But the people refused to hearken unto the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay: but we will have a king over us,

יִֽהְיֶ֥ה yih.Yeh “he will be”

that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.

Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.

וַֽיְהִי־ (יְהִי) y.hi- “he was”

And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a young man and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.

הָיָ֨ה ha.Yah “he belonged”

And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called to Saul on the housetop, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.

וַיְהִ֞י (יְהִ֞י) y.Hi “it was”

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 band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a timbrel, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:

וִיהִי֩ (יהִי֩) Hi “it will be”

And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion shall serve thee; for God is with thee.

וְהָיָ֗ה (הָיָ֗ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

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.

וְהָיָ֗ה (הָיָ֗ה) ha.Yah “it was”

And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied with 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 (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”הָיָ֣ה ha.Yah “has it happened”

And one of the same place answered and said, And who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?

And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and smote the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they that remained were scattered, so that not two of them were left together.

If ye will fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken unto his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, and both ye and also the king that reigneth over you be followers of Jehovah your God, [supplied: well]:
