Behold; if it goes up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, then he has done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us; it was a chance that happened to us."

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

תִּֽהְיוּ־ tih.yu- “you will become”

But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No: but we will have a king over us,

After that you shall come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall happen, when you are come there to the city, that you shall meet a band of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tambourine, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they will be prophesying:

וִיהִי֩ (יהִי֩) Hi “it will be”

Let it be, when these signs are come to you, that you do as occasion shall serve you; for God is with you.

It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
