And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and went after the Philistines, attacking them till they came under Beth-car.

Then Samuel took a stone and put it up between Mizpah and Jeshanah, naming it Eben-ezer, and saying, Up to now the Lord has been our help.

הַמִּצְפָּה֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשֵּׁ֔ן (הַ) ha. “<the>”

So the Philistines were overcome, and did not come into the country of Israel again: and all the days of Samuel the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines.

הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”

And the towns which the Philistines had taken were given back to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and all the country round them Israel made free from the power of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

From year to year he went in turn to Beth-el and Gilgal and Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places.

And his base was at Ramah, where his house was; there he was judge of Israel and there he made an altar to the Lord.

הָרָמָ֙תָה֙ (הָ) ha. “[was] <the>”

The name of his first son was Joel and the name of his second Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.

הַבְּכוֹר֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

And his sons did not go in his ways, but moved by the love of money took rewards, and were not upright in judging.

הַבָּ֑צַע (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then all the responsible men of Israel got together and went to Samuel at Ramah,

הָרָמָֽתָה׃ (הָ) ha. “<the>”

And said to him, See now, you are old, and your sons do not go in your ways: give us a king now to be our judge, so that we may be like the other nations.

הַגּוֹיִֽם׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

But Samuel was not pleased when they said to him, Give us a king to be our judge. And Samuel made prayer to the Lord.

הַדָּבָר֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to the voice of the people and what they say to you: they have not been turned away from you, but they have been turned away from me, not desiring me to be king over them.

הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”

As they have done from the first, from the day when I took them out of Egypt till this day, turning away from me and worshipping other gods, so now they are acting in the same way to you.

הַמַּעֲשִׂ֣ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַיּ֣וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”הַזֶּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Give ear now to their voice: but make a serious protest to them, and give them a picture of the sort of king who will be their ruler.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And Samuel said all these words of the Lord to the people who were desiring a king.

הָעָ֕ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַשֹּׁאֲלִ֥ים (הַ) ha. “who”

And he said, This is the sort of king who will be your ruler: he will take your sons and make them his servants, his horsemen, and drivers of his war-carriages, and they will go running before his war-carriages;

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

He will take your fields and your vine-gardens and your olive-gardens, all the best of them, and give them to his servants.

הַטּוֹבִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “<the>”

He will take your men-servants and your servant-girls, and the best of your oxen and your asses and put them to his work.

הַטּוֹבִ֛ים (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Then you will be crying out because of your king whom you have taken for yourselves; but the Lord will not give you an answer in that day.

הַה֔וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַהֽוּא׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

But the people gave no attention to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but we will have a king over us,

הָעָ֔ם (הָ) ha. “the”

So that we may be like the other nations, and so that our king may be our judge and go out before us to war.

הַגּוֹיִ֑ם (הַ) ha. “the”

Then Samuel, after hearing all the people had to say, went and gave an account of it to the Lord.

הָעָ֑ם (הָ) ha. “the”

He had a son named Saul, a specially good-looking young man; there was no one better-looking among the children of Israel: he was taller by a head than any other of the people.

הָעָֽם׃ (הָ) ha. “the”

Now the asses of Saul's father Kish had gone wandering away. And Kish said to his son Saul, Take one of the servants with you, and get up and go in search of the asses.
