Samuel said, What means then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell you what Yahweh has said to me this night. He said to him, Say on.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Yahweh anointed you king over Israel;

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of Yahweh, and have gone the way which Yahweh sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said, Has Yahweh as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Yahweh? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Yahweh, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of Yahweh, and Yahweh has rejected you from being king over Israel.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

As Samuel turned about to go away, [supplied: Saul] laid hold on the skirt of his robe, and it tore.

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said to him, Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours who is better than you.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshiped Yahweh.

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then said Samuel, Bring you here to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. Agag came to him cheerfully. Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said, As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women. Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal.

שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֧ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul: and Yahweh repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Yahweh said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from being king over Israel? fill your horn with oil, and go: I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons.

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. Yahweh said, Take a heifer with you, and say, I am come to sacrifice to Yahweh.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel did that which Yahweh spoke, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Come you peaceably?

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

But Yahweh said to Samuel, "Don't look on his face, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for [supplied: Yahweh sees] not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart."

שְׁמוּאֵ֗ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. He said, Neither has Yahweh chosen this.

שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. Samuel said to Jesse, Yahweh has not chosen these.

שְׁמוּאֵ֑ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all your children? He said, There remains yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep. Samuel said to Jesse, Send and get him; for we will not sit down until he come here.

שְׁמוּאֵ֣ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֤ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brothers: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily on David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.

שְׁמוּאֵ֜ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. He and Samuel went and lived in Naioth.

שְׁמוּאֵל֙ she.mu.'El “Samuel”וּשְׁמוּאֵ֔ל (שְׁמוּאֵ֔ל) she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came on the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

וּשְׁמוּאֵ֕ל (שְׁמוּאֵ֕ל) she.mu.'El “Samuel”

Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? One said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.

שְׁמוּאֵ֖ל she.mu.'El “[are] Samuel”
