H9001–/וַ–v

Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.

וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֧ם (וַ) va “and”וַיֻּגַּ֨ד (וַ) va “and”וַיִּסֹּב֙ (וַ) va “and”וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֔ר (וַֽ) va “and”וַיֵּ֖רֶד (וַ) va “and”

Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed are you by Yahweh: I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.

וַיָּבֹ֥א (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “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 to Yahweh your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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;

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמְשָׁחֲךָ֧ (וַ) va “and”

and Yahweh sent you on a journey, and said, 'Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.'

וַיִּשְׁלָחֲךָ֥ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהַחֲרַמְתָּ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְנִלְחַמְתָּ֣ (וְ) ve. “and”

Why then didn't you obey the voice of Yahweh, but flew on the spoil, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh?"

וַתַּ֙עַט֙ (וַ) va. “and”וַתַּ֥עַשׂ (וַ) va. “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וָאֵלֵ֕ךְ (וָ) va. “and”וָאָבִ֗יא (וָ) va. “and”

But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Yahweh your God in Gilgal.

וַיִּקַּ֨ח (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim. Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, he has also rejected you from being king.

וַיִּמְאָסְךָ֖ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וָאֶשְׁמַ֖ע (וָ) va. “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמְאָסְךָ֣ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיִּסֹּ֥ב (וַ) va “and”וַיַּחֲזֵ֥ק (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקָּרַֽע׃ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וּנְתָנָ֕הּ (וּ) u. “and”

Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, Please, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Yahweh your God.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֵ֖יתִי (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וַיָּ֥שָׁב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיְשַׁסֵּ֨ף (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְשָׁמַ֥ע (וְ) ve. “and”וַהֲרָגָ֑נִי (וַ) va. “and”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ (וְ) ve. “and”

Call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do: and you shall anoint to me him whom I name to you.

וְקָרָ֥אתָ (וְ) ve. “and”וּמָשַׁחְתָּ֣ (וּ) u. “and”

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?

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֖א (וַ) va “and”וַיֶּחֶרְד֞וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
