H9001–/וַ–v

And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built to the LORD:

וַיִּ֧בֶן (וַ) va “and”

And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seemeth good to thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither to God.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ (וַ) va “and”

And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.

וַיִּשְׁאַ֤ל (וַ) va “and”

And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seemeth good to thee.

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

Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

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

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

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

Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and, lo, I must die.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”

And Saul answered, God do so, and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? By no means: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּפְדּ֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

וַיַּ֣עַל (וַ) va “and”

So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he harassed them.

וַיִּלָּ֣חֶם (וַ) va “and”

And he gathered a host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them.

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֖ךְ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּצֵּ֥ל (וַ) va “and”

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

וַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

And there was violent war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.

וַתְּהִ֤י (וַ) va. “and”וְרָאָ֨ה (וְ) ve. “and”וַיַּאַסְפֵ֖הוּ (וַ) va “and”

Samuel also said to Saul, the LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou to the voice of the words of the LORD.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

וְהִכִּֽיתָ֜ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְהַֽחֲרַמְתֶּם֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהֵמַתָּ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”

And Saul assembled the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

וַיְשַׁמַּ֤ע (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּפְקְדֵם֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.

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

And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up from Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

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

And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah, until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.

וַיַּ֥ךְ (וַ) va “and”

And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

וַיִּתְפֹּ֛שׂ (וַ) va “and”

But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

וַיַּחְמֹל֩ (וַ) va “and”

Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying,

וַֽיְהִי֙ (וַֽ) va “and”

I repent that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried to the LORD all night.

וַיִּ֙חַר֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּזְעַ֥ק (וַ) va “and”
