וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in offerings and burned offerings as in the doing of his orders? Truly, to do his pleasure is better than to make offerings, and to give ear to him than the fat of sheep.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Samuel said to Saul, I will not go back with you: for you have put away from you the word of the Lord, and the Lord has put you from your place as king over Israel.

And Samuel said to him, The Lord has taken away the kingdom of Israel from you this day by force, and has given it to a neighbour of yours who is better than you.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then he said, Great is my sin: but still, give me honour now before the heads of my people and before Israel, and come back with me so that I may give worship to the Lord your God.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you go on sorrowing for Saul, seeing that I have put him from his place as king over Israel? Take oil in your vessel and go; I will send you to Jesse, the Beth-lehemite: for I have got a king for myself among hi

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”וְאָ֣מַרְתָּ֔ (אָ֣מַרְתָּ֔) 'A.mar.ta “you will say”

And Samuel did as the Lord said and came to Beth-lehem. And the responsible men of the town came out to him in fear and said, Do you come in peace?

וַיֹּ֖אמֶר (יֹּ֖אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “someone said”

And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.

Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (יֹּ֕אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (יֹּ֕אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.

So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (יֹּ֧אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Saul's servants said to him, See now, an evil spirit from God is troubling you.

וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ (יֹּאמְר֥וּ) i.yo.me.Ru “they said”

And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (יֹּ֥אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

Then one of the servants in answer said, I have seen a son of Jesse, the Beth-lehemite, who is expert at playing, and a strong man and a man of war; and he is wise in his words, and pleasing in looks, and the Lord is with him.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (יֹּ֗אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”
