And Samuel said to the people, The Lord is witness, who gave authority to Moses and Aaron, and who took your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Keep your places now, while I take up the argument with you before the Lord, and give you the story of the righteousness of the Lord, which he has made clear by his acts to you and to your fathers.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

When Jacob and his sons had come into Egypt, and were crushed by the Egyptians, the prayers of your fathers came up to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who took your fathers out of Egypt, and he put them into this place.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֜ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But they were false to the Lord their God, and he gave them up into the hands of Sisera, captain of the army of Jabin, king of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab, who made war against them.

יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then crying out to the Lord, they said, We have done evil, because we have been turned away from the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes: but now, make us safe from those who are against us and we will be your servants.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Barak and Jephthah and Samuel and took you out of the power of those who were fighting against you on every side, and made you safe.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, No more of this; we will have a king for our ruler: when the Lord your God was your king.

וַיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Here, then, is the king marked out by you: the Lord has put a king over you.

יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

If in the fear of the Lord you are his servants, hearing his voice and not going against the orders of the Lord, but being true to the Lord your God, you and the king ruling over you, then all will be well:

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord, but go against his orders, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and against your king for your destruction, as it was against your fathers.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now keep where you are and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Is it not now the time of the grain cutting? My cry will go up to the Lord and he will send thunder and rain: so that you may see and be conscious of your great sin which you have done in the eyes of the Lord in desiring a king for yourselves.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So Samuel made prayer to the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people were in fear of the Lord and of Samuel.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And all the people said to Samuel, Make prayer for us to the Lord your God so that death may not overtake us: for in addition to all our sins we have done this evil, in desiring a king.

יְהוָ֥ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then Samuel said to the people, Have no fear: truly you have done evil, but do not be turned away from the Lord; be his servants with all your heart;

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For the Lord will not give his people up, because of the honour of his name; for it was the Lord's pleasure to make of you a people for himself.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And as for me, never will I go against the orders of the Lord by giving up my prayers for you: but I will go on teaching you the good and right way.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Only go in the fear of the Lord, and be his true servants with all your heart, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Samuel said to Saul, You have done a foolish thing: you have not kept the rules which the Lord your God gave you; it was the purpose of the Lord to make your authority over Israel safe for ever.

יְהוָ֤ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֧ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But now, your authority will not go on: the Lord, searching for a man who is pleasing to him in every way, has given him the place of ruler over his people, because you have not done what the Lord gave you orders to do.

יְהוָ֨ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֤ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, who had the ephod. And the people had no idea that Jonathan had gone.

יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a grea

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”לַֽיהוָה֙ (יהוָה֙) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”
