And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed
over against the children of
Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed
over to the
Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come
today to fight against me?”
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go
over; that the men of
Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said,
Nay;
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a
fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross
over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no
razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a
Nazarite unto God from the
womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son. And no
razor shall come
over his head, because the boy will be a
Nazirite to God from the
womb, and he will begin the
deliverance of Israel from the hand of the Philistines.”
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to
Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers
over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
In
response, three thousand men of Judah went to the cave at the rock of Etam, and they asked
Samson, “Do you not
realize that the Philistines rule
over us? What have you done to us?” “I have done to them what they did to me,” he replied.
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And
Samson said unto them,
Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me
yourselves.
But they said to him, “We have come down to arrest you and hand you
over to the Philistines.”
Samson replied, “
Swear to me that you will not kill me
yourselves.”
And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
“No,” they answered, “we will not kill you, but we will
tie you up securely and hand you
over to them.” So they bound him with two new ropes and led him up from the rock.
And
Samson lay till
midnight, and arose at
midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before
Hebron.

midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain
overlooking Hebron.

Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to
afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “
Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can
overpower him to
tie him up and
subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”
When they were by the house of
Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the
Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee
hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
And while they were near
Micah’s house, they recognized the voice of the young
Levite; so they went
over and asked him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? Why are you here?”
And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
And the priest told them, “Go in peace. The LORD is watching over your journey.”
And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
“Be quiet,” they told him. “Put your hand over your mouth and come with us and be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest for the house of one person or a priest for a tribe and family in Israel?”
And when they were a good way from the house of
Micah, the men that were in the houses near to

Micah’s house
mobilized and
overtook the Danites.
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the
damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and
tarry all night, and let thine heart be
merry.
So they sat down and the two of them
ate and
drank together. Then the
girl’s father said to the man, “Please agree to stay
overnight and let your heart be
merry.”
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his
concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the
damsel’s father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you
tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end,
lodge here, that thine heart may be
merry; and to
morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
When the man got up to depart with his
concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the
girl’s father, said to him, “Look, the day is drawing to a close. Please
spend the night. See, the day is almost
over.
Spend the night here, that your heart may be
merry. Then you can get up early
tomorrow for your journey home.”
But the man would not
tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came
over against
Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two
asses saddled, his
concubine also was with him.
But the man was unwilling to
spend the night. He got up and departed, and arrived opposite
Jebus (that is, Jerusalem), with his two
saddled donkeys and his
concubine.
And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside
hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass
over to Gibeah.
But his master replied, “We will not turn aside to the city of foreigners, where there are no Israelites. We will go on to Gibeah.”
And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
And
everyone who saw it said, “Nothing like this has been seen or done from the day the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt until this day. Think it
over, take counsel, and speak up!”
Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of
Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not
hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:
Hand
over the wicked men of Gibeah so we can put them to death and
purge Israel of this evil.” But the Benjamites refused to
heed the voice of their fellow Israelites.
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
So they fled before the men of Israel toward the wilderness, but the battle overtook them, and the men coming out of the cities struck them down there.
Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and
chased them, and
trode them down with ease
over against Gibeah toward the
sunrising.
They surrounded the Benjamites, pursued them, and easily overtook them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.
And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of
Rimmon: and they
gleaned of them in the
highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and
slew two thousand men of them.
Then the Benjamites turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of
Rimmon, and Israel cut down 5,000 men on the roads. And they
overtook them at Gidom and struck down 2,000 more.
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set
over the reapers, Whose
damsel is this?
And Boaz asked the
foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
And the servant that was set
over the reapers answered and said, It is the
Moabitish damsel that came back with
Naomi out of the country of Moab:
And Boaz said unto her, At
mealtime come thou
hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy
morsel in the
vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her
parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
At
mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come
over here; have some bread and dip it into the
vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her
roasted grain, and she
ate and was satisfied and had some left
over.
And it came to pass at
midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
At
midnight, Boaz was
startled, turned
over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
“Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant
Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your garment
over me, for you are a
kinsman-
redeemer.”
Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the
kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Meanwhile, Boaz went to the gate and sat down there. Soon the
kinsman-
redeemer of whom he had spoken came along, and Boaz said, “Come
over here, my friend, and sit down.” So he went
over and sat down.
And she
vowed a
vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou
wilt indeed look on the
affliction of thine
handmaid, and remember me, and not
forget thine
handmaid, but
wilt give unto thine
handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no
razor come upon his head.
And
Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is
exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged
over mine enemies; because I
rejoice in thy salvation.
At that time
Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is
exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I
rejoice in Your salvation.
And when
Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this
tumult? And the man came in
hastily, and told
Eli.
And his daughter in law,
Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the
tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and
travailed; for her pains came upon her.
Now
Eli’s daughter-in-law, the wife of
Phinehas, was
pregnant and about to give birth. When she heard the news of the capture of God’s ark and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband, she
collapsed and gave birth, for her labor pains
overtook her.
And they of Beth-shemesh were
reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and
rejoiced to see it.

And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons as judges over Israel.
And the LORD said unto Samuel,
Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign
over them.
And the LORD said to Samuel, “
Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.
Now therefore
hearken unto their voice:
howbeit yet
protest solemnly unto them, and
shew them the manner of the king that shall reign
over them.
Now
listen to them, but you must solemnly
warn them and show them the manner of the king who will reign
over them.”
And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign
over you: He will take your sons, and
appoint them for himself, for his
chariots, and to be his
horsemen; and some shall run before his
chariots.
He said, “This will be the manner of the king who will reign
over you: He will take your sons and
appoint them to his own
chariots and horses, to run in front of his
chariots.
And he will
appoint him captains
over thousands, and captains
over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to
reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his
chariots.
He will
appoint some for himself as commanders of thousands and of
fifties, and others to
plow his ground, to
reap his harvest, to make his weapons of war, and to
equip his
chariots.
Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said,
Nay; but we will have a king
over us;
Nevertheless, the people refused to
listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a king
over us.
To
morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt
anoint him to be captain
over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
“At this time
tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to
anoint him leader
over My people Israel; he will save them from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man of whom I spoke; he shall rule over My people.”
Then Samuel took a
vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and
kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath
anointed thee to be captain
over his inheritance?
Then Samuel took a
flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head,
kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD
anointed you ruler
over His inheritance?
And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your
adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him,
Nay, but set a king
over us. Now therefore present
yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
But
today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king
over us.’ Now therefore present
yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
Then the people said to Samuel, “Who said that Saul should not reign over us? Bring those men here so we can kill them!”
And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have
hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king
over you.
Then Samuel said to all Israel, “I have
listened to your voice in all that you have said to me, and I have set
over you a king.
And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of
Ammon came against you, ye said unto me,
Nay; but a king shall reign
over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
But when you saw that Nahash king of the
Ammonites was moving against you, you said to me, ‘No, we must have a king to rule
over us’—even though the LORD your God was your king.
Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
Now here is the king you have chosen, the one you requested. Behold, the LORD has placed a king over you.
If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not
rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth
over you continue following the LORD your God:
If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and if you do not
rebel against the command of the LORD, and if both you and the king who reigns
over you follow the LORD your God, then all will be well.
Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
And some of the Hebrews went
over Jordan to the land of
Gad and
Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in
Gilgal, and all the people followed him
trembling.
Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the land of
Gad and
Gilead. Saul, however, remained at
Gilgal, and all his troops were
quaking in fear.
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done
foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
“You have acted
foolishly,” Samuel declared. “You have not kept the command that the LORD your God gave you; if you had, the LORD would have established your kingdom
over Israel for all time.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
But now your kingdom will not
endure; the LORD has sought a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler
over His people, because you have not kept the command of the LORD.”
And another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of
Zeboim toward the wilderness.
another toward Beth-horon, and the third down the border road
overlooking the Valley of
Zeboim facing the wilderness.
Now it came to pass upon a day, that
Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go
over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
One day
Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man bearing his
armor, “Come, let us cross
over to the
Philistine outpost on the other side.” But
Jonathan did not tell his father.
And between the passages, by which
Jonathan sought to go
over unto the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Now there were cliffs on both sides of the pass that
Jonathan intended to cross to reach the
Philistine outpost. One was named Bozez and the other Seneh.
One
cliff stood to the north toward
Michmash, and the other to the south toward Geba.
And
Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go
over unto the garrison of these
uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
Jonathan said to the young man bearing his
armor, “Come, let us cross
over to the outpost of these
uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will work on our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”
Then said
Jonathan, Behold, we will pass
over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
“Very well,” said
Jonathan, “we will cross
over toward these men and show ourselves to them.
And that first slaughter, which
Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might
plow.
In that first
assault,
Jonathan and his
armor-bearer struck down about twenty men
over half an acre of land.
Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and
Jonathan.
And the Hebrews who had previously gone up into the surrounding camps of the Philistines now went
over to the Israelites who were with Saul and
Jonathan.
So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed
over unto Beth-
aven.
So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle moved on beyond Beth-
aven.
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have
transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
Then someone reported to Saul: “Look, the troops are
sinning against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.” “You have broken faith,” said Saul. “Roll a large stone
over here at once.”
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
vexed them.
After Saul had assumed the
kingship over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side—the Moabites, the
Ammonites, the Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he routed them.
Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to
anoint thee to be king
over his people,
over Israel: now therefore
hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to
anoint you king
over His people Israel. Now therefore,
listen to the words of the LORD.
Then Saul struck down the
Amalekites all the way from
Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
And Samuel said, When thou
wast little in thine own sight,
wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD
anointed thee king
over Israel?
And Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, have you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD
anointed you king
over Israel
And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
“I will not return with you,” Samuel replied. “For you have rejected the word of the LORD, and He has rejected you as king over Israel.”
And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel
mourned for Saul: and the LORD
repented that he had made Saul king
over Israel.
And to the day of his death, Samuel never again visited Saul. Samuel
mourned for Saul, and the LORD
regretted that He had made Saul king
over Israel.
And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long
wilt thou
mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning
over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to
Jesse the
Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to
mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king
over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to
Jesse of
Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a king for Myself.”
And when the words were heard which David spake, they
rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who called for him.
And David
girded his sword upon his armour, and he
assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
David
strapped his sword
over the
tunic and tried to walk, but he was not accustomed to them. “I cannot walk in these,” David said to Saul. “I am not accustomed to them.” So David took them off.
Thus David prevailed
over the
Philistine with a
sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the
Philistine and killed him.
Therefore David ran, and stood upon the
Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the
sheath thereof, and
slew him, and cut off his head
therewith. And when the Philistines saw their
champion was dead, they fled.
David ran and stood
over him. He
grabbed the
Philistine’s sword and pulled it from its
sheath and killed him; and he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
And David went out
whithersoever Saul sent him, and
behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him
over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
So David marched out and
prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him
over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets
prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed
over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also
prophesied.
he sent messengers to capture him. But when they saw the group of prophets
prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to
prophesy.
And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented
rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
Then answered Doeg the
Edomite, which was set
over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of
Jesse coming to
Nob, to
Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
But Doeg the
Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of
Jesse come to
Ahimelech son of Ahitub at
Nob.
And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”
Now therefore know and consider what thou
wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of
Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
Now consider carefully what you must do, because
disaster looms
over our master and all his household. For he is such a
scoundrel that
nobody can speak to him!”
And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
When the LORD has done for my lord all the good He promised, and when He has appointed you ruler over Israel,
That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath
avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine
handmaid.
then my lord will have no
remorse or guilt of conscience
over needless
bloodshed and
revenge. And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your
maidservant.”
Then David went
over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill
afar off; a great space being between them:
Then David crossed to the other side and stood
atop the mountain at a distance; there was a wide gulf between them.
And David answered and said, Behold the king’s
spear! and let one of the young men come
over and
fetch it.
“Here is the king’s
spear,” David answered. “Let one of the young men come
over and get it.
And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall
despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
David, however, said to himself, “One of these days now I will be swept away by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will stop searching for me all over Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”
And David arose, and he passed
over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of
Gath.
So David set out with his six hundred men and went to Achish son of Maoch, the king of
Gath.
And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this
troop? shall I
overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely
overtake them, and without fail recover all.
and David inquired of the LORD: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I
overtake them?” “Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely
overtake them and
rescue the
captives.”
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so
faint that they could not go
over the
brook Besor.
because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the
brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit.
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great
spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
So he led David down, and there were the
Amalekites spread out
over all the land, eating, drinking, and
celebrating the great amount of
plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
And the battle went
sore against Saul, and the archers
hit him; and he was
sore wounded of the archers.
When the battle
intensified against Saul, the archers
overtook him and wounded him critically.
And he said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and
slay me: for
anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
Then he
begged me, ‘Stand
over me and kill me, for
agony has seized me, but my life still lingers.’
So I stood upon him, and
slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the
bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them
hither unto my lord.
So I stood
over him and killed him, because I knew that after he had fallen he could not
survive. And I took the crown that was on his head and the band that was on his arm, and I have brought them here to my lord.”

over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of
Jabesh-
gilead who buried Saul.”

valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have
anointed me king
over them.
Now then, be strong and
courageous, for though Saul your lord is dead, the house of Judah has
anointed me as their king.”
