So they sent God’s ark to Ekron. As God’s ark came to Ekron, the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought the ark of the God of Israel here to us, to kill us and our people.”

Therefore they sent H7971 (PielImpf) the ark H727 of God H430 to Ekron. H6138 And it came to pass, as the ark H727 of God H430 came H935 (QalInf) to Ekron, H6138 that the Ekronites H6139 cried out, H2199 (QalImpf) saying, H559 (QalInf) They have brought about H5437 (HiphPerf) the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel H3478 to us, to slay H4191 (HiphInf) us and our people. H5971

και εξαποστελλουσιν την κιβωτον του θεου εις ασκαλωνα και εγενηθη ως εισηλθεν κιβωτος θεου εις ασκαλωνα και εβοησαν οι ασκαλωνιται λεγοντες τι απεστρεψατε προς ημας την κιβωτον του θεου ισραηλ θανατωσαι ημας και τον λαον ημων

They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, “Send the ark of the God of Israel away, and let it go again to its own place, that it not kill us and our people.” For there was a deadly panic throughout all the city. The hand of God was very heavy there.

So they sent H7971 (QalImpf) and gathered together H622 (QalImpf) all the lords H5633 of the Philistines, H6430 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Send away H7971 (PielImpv) the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel, H3478 and let it go again H7725 (QalImpf) to his own place, H4725 that it slay H4191 (HiphImpf) us not, and our people: H5971 for there was a deadly H4194 destruction H4103 throughout all the city; H5892 the hand H3027 of God H430 was very H3966 heavy H3513 (QalPerf) there.

και εξαποστελλουσιν και συναγουσιν τους σατραπας των αλλοφυλων και ειπον εξαποστειλατε την κιβωτον του θεου ισραηλ και καθισατω εις τον τοπον αυτης και ου μη θανατωση ημας και τον λαον ημων οτι εγενηθη συγχυσις θανατου εν ολη τη πολει βαρεια σφοδρα ως εισηλθεν κιβωτος θεου ισραηλ εκει

They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”

And they said, H559 (QalImpf) If ye send away H7971 (PielPtc) the ark H727 of the God H430 of Israel, H3478 send H7971 (PielImpf) it not empty; H7387 but in any wise H7725 (HiphInf) return H7725 (HiphImpf) him a trespass offering: H817 then ye shall be healed, H7495 (NiphImpf) and it shall be known H3045 (NiphPerf) to you why his hand H3027 is not removed H5493 (QalImpf) from you.

και ειπαν ει εξαπεστελλετε υμεις την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου θεου ισραηλ μη δη εξαποστειλητε αυτην κενην αλλα αποδιδοντες αποδοτε αυτη της βασανου και τοτε ιαθησεσθε και εξιλασθησεται υμιν μη ουκ αποστη η χειρ αυτου αφ υμων

Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that mar the land; and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will release his hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.

Wherefore ye shall make H6213 (QalPerf) images H6754 of your emerods, H2914 (Qere) H6076 and images H6754 of your mice H5909 that mar H7843 (HiphPtc) the land; H776 and ye shall give H5414 (QalPerf) glory H3519 unto the God H430 of Israel: H3478 peradventure he will lighten H7043 (HiphImpf) his hand H3027 from off you, and from off your gods, H430 and from off your land. H776

και μυς χρυσους ομοιωμα των μυων υμων των διαφθειροντων την γην και δωσετε τω κυριω δοξαν οπως κουφιση την χειρα αυτου αφ υμων και απο των θεων υμων και απο της γης υμων

From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh.

And it came to pass, while H3117 the ark H727 abode H3427 (QalInf) in Kirjath-jearim, H7157 that the time H3117 was long; H7235 (QalImpf) for it was twenty H6242 years: H8141 and all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 lamented H5091 (NiphImpf) after H310 the Lord. H3068

και εγενηθη αφ ης ημερας ην η κιβωτος εν καριαθιαριμ επληθυναν αι ημεραι και εγενοντο εικοσι ετη και επεβλεψεν πας οικος ισραηλ οπισω κυριου

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

And Samuel H8050 spake H559 (QalImpf) unto all the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 (QalInf) If ye do return H7725 (QalActPtc) unto the Lord H3068 with all your hearts, H3824 then put away H5493 (HiphImpv) the strange H5236 gods H430 and Ashtaroth H6252 from among H8432 you, and prepare H3559 (HiphImpv) your hearts H3824 unto the Lord, H3068 and serve H5647 (QalImpv) him only: and he will deliver H5337 (HiphImpf) you out of the hand H3027 of the Philistines. H6430

και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς παντα οικον ισραηλ λεγων ει εν ολη καρδια υμων υμεις επιστρεφετε προς κυριον περιελετε τους θεους τους αλλοτριους εκ μεσου υμων και τα αλση και ετοιμασατε τας καρδιας υμων προς κυριον και δουλευσατε αυτω μονω και εξελειται υμας εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων

Then the children of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and served Yahweh only.

Then the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did put away H5493 (HiphImpf) Baalim H1168 and Ashtaroth, H6252 and served H5647 (QalImpf) the Lord H3068 only.

και περιειλον οι υιοι ισραηλ τας βααλιμ και τα αλση ασταρωθ και εδουλευσαν κυριω μονω

Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”

And Samuel H8050 said, H559 (QalImpf) Gather H6908 (QalImpv) all Israel H3478 to Mizpeh, H4708 and I will pray H6419 (HithImpf) for you unto the Lord. H3068

και ειπεν σαμουηλ αθροισατε παντα ισραηλ εις μασσηφαθ και προσευξομαι περι υμων προς κυριον

They gathered together to Mizpah, and drew water, and poured it out before Yahweh, and fasted on that day, and said there, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah.

And they gathered together H6908 (NiphImpf) to Mizpeh, H4709 and drew H7579 (QalImpf) water, H4325 and poured it out H8210 (QalImpf) before H6440 the Lord, H3068 and fasted H6684 (QalImpf) on that day, H3117 and said H559 (QalImpf) there, We have sinned H2398 (QalPerf) against the Lord. H3068 And Samuel H8050 judged H8199 (QalImpf) the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in Mizpeh. H4708

και συνηχθησαν εις μασσηφαθ και υδρευονται υδωρ και εξεχεαν ενωπιον κυριου επι την γην και ενηστευσαν εν τη ημερα εκεινη και ειπαν ημαρτηκαμεν ενωπιον κυριου και εδικαζεν σαμουηλ τους υιους ισραηλ εις μασσηφαθ

When the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. When the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.

And when the Philistines H6430 heard H8085 (QalImpf) that the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were gathered together H6908 (HithPerf) to Mizpeh, H4708 the lords H5633 of the Philistines H6430 went up H5927 (QalImpf) against Israel. H3478 And when the children H1121 of Israel H3478 heard H8085 (QalImpf) it, they were afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of H6440 the Philistines. H6430

και ηκουσαν οι αλλοφυλοι οτι συνηθροισθησαν παντες οι υιοι ισραηλ εις μασσηφαθ και ανεβησαν σατραπαι αλλοφυλων επι ισραηλ και ακουουσιν οι υιοι ισραηλ και εφοβηθησαν απο προσωπου αλλοφυλων

The children of Israel said to Samuel, “Don’t stop crying to Yahweh our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.”

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 said H559 (QalImpf) to Samuel, H8050 Cease H2790 (HiphImpf) not to cry^§ H2199 (QalInf) unto the Lord H3068 our God H430 for us, that he will save H3467 (HiphImpf) us out of the hand H3027 of the Philistines. H6430

1 Samuel 7:8 Heb. Be not silent from us from crying

και ειπαν οι υιοι ισραηλ προς σαμουηλ μη παρασιωπησης αφ ημων του μη βοαν προς κυριον θεον σου και σωσει ημας εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων

Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Samuel cried to Yahweh for Israel, and Yahweh answered him.

And Samuel H8050 took H3947 (QalImpf) a H259 sucking H2461 lamb, H2924 and offered H5927 (HiphImpf) it for a burnt offering H5930 wholly H3632 unto the Lord: H3068 and Samuel H8050 cried H2199 (QalImpf) unto the Lord H3068 for Israel; H3478 and the Lord H3068 heard^§ H6030 (QalImpf) him.

1 Samuel 7:9 Or, answered

και ελαβεν σαμουηλ αρνα γαλαθηνον ενα και ανηνεγκεν αυτον ολοκαυτωσιν συν παντι τω λαω τω κυριω και εβοησεν σαμουηλ προς κυριον περι ισραηλ και επηκουσεν αυτου κυριος

As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.

And as Samuel H8050 was offering up H5927 (HiphPtc) the burnt offering, H5930 the Philistines H6430 drew near H5066 (NiphPerf) to battle H4421 against Israel: H3478 but the Lord H3068 thundered H7481 (HiphImpf) with a great H1419 thunder H6963 on that day H3117 upon the Philistines, H6430 and discomfited H2000 (QalImpf) them; and they were smitten H5062 (NiphImpf) before H6440 Israel. H3478

και ην σαμουηλ αναφερων την ολοκαυτωσιν και αλλοφυλοι προσηγον εις πολεμον επι ισραηλ και εβροντησεν κυριος εν φωνη μεγαλη εν τη ημερα εκεινη επι τους αλλοφυλους και συνεχυθησαν και επταισαν ενωπιον ισραηλ

The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar.

And the men H582 of Israel H3478 went out H3318 (QalImpf) of Mizpeh, H4709 and pursued H7291 (QalImpf) the Philistines, H6430 and smote H5221 (HiphImpf) them, until they came under Beth-car. H1033

και εξηλθαν ανδρες ισραηλ εκ μασσηφαθ και κατεδιωξαν τους αλλοφυλους και επαταξαν αυτους εως υποκατω του βαιθχορ

So the Philistines were subdued, and they stopped coming within the border of Israel. Yahweh’s hand was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

So the Philistines H6430 were subdued, H3665 (NiphImpf) and they came H935 (QalInf) no more H3254 (QalPerf) into the coast H1366 of Israel: H3478 and the hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 was against the Philistines H6430 all the days H3117 of Samuel. H8050

και εταπεινωσεν κυριος τους αλλοφυλους και ου προσεθεντο ετι προσελθειν εις οριον ισραηλ και εγενηθη χειρ κυριου επι τους αλλοφυλους πασας τας ημερας του σαμουηλ

The cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and Israel recovered its border out of the hand of the Philistines. There was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

And the cities H5892 which the Philistines H6430 had taken H3947 (QalPerf) from Israel H3478 were restored H7725 (QalImpf) to Israel, H3478 from Ekron H6138 even unto Gath; H1661 and the coasts H1366 thereof did Israel H3478 deliver H5337 (HiphPerf) out of the hands H3027 of the Philistines. H6430 And there was peace H7965 between Israel H3478 and the Amorites. H567

και απεδοθησαν αι πολεις ας ελαβον οι αλλοφυλοι παρα των υιων ισραηλ και απεδωκαν αυτας τω ισραηλ απο ασκαλωνος εως αζοβ και το οριον ισραηλ αφειλαντο εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων και ην ειρηνη ανα μεσον ισραηλ και ανα μεσον του αμορραιου

Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

And Samuel H8050 judged H8199 (QalImpf) Israel H3478 all the days H3117 of his life. H2416

1 Samuel 7:16 Heb. and he circuited

και επορευετο κατ ενιαυτον ενιαυτον και εκυκλου βαιθηλ και την γαλγαλα και την μασσηφαθ και εδικαζεν τον ισραηλ εν πασι τοις ηγιασμενοις τουτοις

His return was to Ramah, for his house was there, and he judged Israel there; and he built an altar to Yahweh there.

And his return H8666 was to Ramah; H7414 for there was his house; H1004 and there he judged H8199 (QalPerf) Israel; H3478 and there he built H1129 (QalImpf) an altar H4196 unto the Lord. H3068

η δε αποστροφη αυτου εις αρμαθαιμ οτι εκει ην ο οικος αυτου και εδικαζεν εκει τον ισραηλ και ωκοδομησεν εκει θυσιαστηριον τω κυριω

When Samuel was old, he made his sons judges over Israel.

And it came to pass, when Samuel H8050 was old, H2204 (QalPerf) that he made H7760 (QalImpf) his sons H1121 judges H8199 (QalActPtc) over Israel. H3478

και εγενετο ως εγηρασεν σαμουηλ και κατεστησεν τους υιους αυτου δικαστας τω ισραηλ

Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together and came to Samuel to Ramah.

Then all the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 gathered themselves together, H6908 (HithImpf) and came H935 (QalImpf) to Samuel H8050 unto Ramah, H7414

και συναθροιζονται ανδρες ισραηλ και παραγινονται εις αρμαθαιμ προς σαμουηλ

Yahweh said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice, and make them a king.” Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Everyone go to your own city.”

And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) to Samuel, H8050 Hearken H8085 (QalImpv) unto their voice, H6963 and make H4427 (HiphPerf) them a king. H4428 And Samuel H8050 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the men H582 of Israel, H3478 Go H3212 (QalImpv) ye every man H376 unto his city. H5892

και ειπεν κυριος προς σαμουηλ ακουε της φωνης αυτων και βασιλευσον αυτοις βασιλεα και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς ανδρας ισραηλ αποτρεχετω εκαστος εις την πολιν αυτου

He had a son whose name was Saul, an impressive young man; and there was not among the children of Israel a more handsome person than he. From his shoulders and upward he was taller than any of the people.

And he had a son, H1121 whose name H8034 was Saul, H7586 a choice young man, H970 and a goodly: H2896 and there was not among the children H1121 of Israel H3478 a goodlier H2896 person H376 than he: from his shoulders H7926 and upward H4605 he was higher H1364 than any of the people. H5971

και τουτω υιος και ονομα αυτω σαουλ ευμεγεθης ανηρ αγαθος και ουκ ην εν υιοις ισραηλ αγαθος υπερ αυτον υπερ ωμιαν και επανω υψηλος υπερ πασαν την γην

(In earlier times in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come! Let’s go to the seer;” for he who is now called a prophet was before called a seer.)

(Beforetime H6440 in Israel, H3478 when a man H376 went H3212 (QalInf) to enquire H1875 (QalInf) of God, H430 thus he spake, H559 (QalPerf) Come, H3212 (QalImpv) and let us go H3212 (QalImpf) to the seer: H7200 (QalActPtc) for he that is now H3117 called a Prophet H5030 was beforetime H6440 called H7121 (NiphImpf) a Seer.) H7200 (QalActPtc)

και εμπροσθεν εν ισραηλ ταδε ελεγεν εκαστος εν τω πορευεσθαι επερωταν τον θεον δευρο πορευθωμεν προς τον βλεποντα οτι τον προφητην εκαλει ο λαος εμπροσθεν ο βλεπων

“Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over my people Israel. He will save my people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon my people, because their cry has come to me.”

To morrow H4279 about this time H6256 I will send H7971 (QalImpf) thee a man H376 out of the land H776 of Benjamin, H1144 and thou shalt anoint H4886 (QalPerf) him to be captain H5057 over my people H5971 Israel, H3478 that he may save H3467 (HiphPerf) my people H5971 out of the hand H3027 of the Philistines: H6430 for I have looked H7200 (QalPerf) upon my people, H5971 because their cry H6818 is come H935 (QalPerf) unto me.

ως ο καιρος αυριον αποστελω προς σε ανδρα εκ γης βενιαμιν και χρισεις αυτον εις αρχοντα επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ και σωσει τον λαον μου εκ χειρος αλλοφυλων οτι επεβλεψα επι την ταπεινωσιν του λαου μου οτι ηλθεν βοη αυτων προς με

As for your donkeys who were lost three days ago, don’t set your mind on them, for they have been found. For whom does all Israel desire? Is it not you and all your father’s house?”

And as for thine asses H860 that were lost H6 (QalActPtc) three H7969 days H3117 ago,^§ H3117 set H7760 (QalImpf) not thy mind H3820 on them; for they are found. H4672 (NiphPerf) And on whom is all the desire H2532 of Israel? H3478 Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s H1 house? H1004

1 Samuel 9:20 Heb. today three days

και περι των ονων σου των απολωλυιων σημερον τριταιων μη θης την καρδιαν σου αυταις οτι ευρηνται και τινι τα ωραια του ισραηλ ου σοι και τω οικω του πατρος σου

Saul answered, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me like this?”

And Saul H7586 answered H6030 (QalImpf) and said, H559 (QalImpf) Am not I a Benjamite, H1145 of the smallest H6996 of the tribes H7626 of Israel? H3478 and my family H4940 the least H6810 of all the families H4940 of the tribe H7626 of Benjamin? H1144 wherefore then speakest H1696 (PielPerf) thou so H1697 to me?^§

1 Samuel 9:21 Heb. according to this word?

και απεκριθη σαουλ και ειπεν ουχι ανδρος υιος ιεμιναιου εγω ειμι του μικρου σκηπτρου φυλης ισραηλ και της φυλης της ελαχιστης εξ ολου σκηπτρου βενιαμιν και ινα τι ελαλησας προς εμε κατα το ρημα τουτο

and he said to the children of Israel, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’

and said H559 (QalImpf) unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 I brought up H5927 (HiphPerf) Israel H3478 out of Egypt, H4714 and delivered H5337 (HiphImpf) you out of the hand H3027 of the Egyptians, H4714 and out of the hand H3027 of all kingdoms, H4467 and of them that oppressed H3905 (QalPtc) you:

και ειπεν προς υιους ισραηλ ταδε ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ισραηλ λεγων εγω ανηγαγον τους υιους ισραηλ εξ αιγυπτου και εξειλαμην υμας εκ χειρος φαραω βασιλεως αιγυπτου και εκ πασων των βασιλειων των θλιβουσων υμας

So Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.

And when Samuel H8050 had caused all the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to come near, H7126 (HiphImpf) the tribe H7626 of Benjamin H1144 was taken. H3920 (NiphImpf)

και προσηγαγεν σαμουηλ παντα τα σκηπτρα ισραηλ και κατακληρουται σκηπτρον βενιαμιν

Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”

And Nahash H5176 the Ammonite H5984 answered H559 (QalImpf) them, On this H2063 condition will I make H3772 (QalImpf) a covenant with you, that I may thrust out H5365 (QalInf) all your right H3225 eyes, H5869 and lay H7760 (QalPerf) it for a reproach H2781 upon all Israel. H3478

και ειπεν προς αυτους ναας ο αμμανιτης εν ταυτη διαθησομαι υμιν διαθηκην εν τω εξορυξαι υμων παντα οφθαλμον δεξιον και θησομαι ονειδος επι ισραηλ

The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”

And the elders H2205 of Jabesh H3003 said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, Give us^§ seven H7651 days’ H3117 respite, H7503 (HiphImpv) that we may send H7971 (QalImpf) messengers H4397 unto all the coasts H1366 of Israel: H3478 and then, if there be no man to save H3467 (HiphPtc) us, we will come out H3318 (QalPerf) to thee.

1 Samuel 11:3 Heb. forbear us

και λεγουσιν αυτω οι ανδρες ιαβις ανες ημιν επτα ημερας και αποστελουμεν αγγελους εις παν οριον ισραηλ εαν μη η ο σωζων ημας εξελευσομεθα προς υμας

He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever doesn’t come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of Yahweh fell on the people, and they came out as one man.

And he took H3947 (QalImpf) a yoke H6776 of oxen, H1241 and hewed them in pieces, H5408 (PielImpf) and sent H7971 (PielImpf) them throughout all the coasts H1366 of Israel H3478 by the hands H3027 of messengers, H4397 saying, H559 (QalInf) Whosoever cometh not forth H3318 (QalActPtc) after H310 Saul H7586 and after H310 Samuel, H8050 so shall it be done H6213 (NiphImpf) unto his oxen. H1241 And the fear H6343 of the Lord H3068 fell H5307 (QalImpf) on the people, H5971 and they came out H3318 (QalImpf) with one H259 consent.^§ H376

1 Samuel 11:7 Heb. as one man

και ελαβεν δυο βοας και εμελισεν αυτας και απεστειλεν εις παν οριον ισραηλ εν χειρι αγγελων λεγων ος ουκ εστιν εκπορευομενος οπισω σαουλ και οπισω σαμουηλ κατα ταδε ποιησουσιν τοις βουσιν αυτου και επηλθεν εκστασις κυριου επι τον λαον ισραηλ και εβοησαν ως ανηρ εις

He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

And when he numbered H6485 (QalImpf) them in Bezek, H966 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 were three H7969 hundred H3967 thousand, H505 and the men H376 of Judah H3063 thirty H7970 thousand. H505

και επισκεπτεται αυτους αβιεζεκ εν βαμα παν ανδρα ισραηλ εξακοσιας χιλιαδας και ανδρας ιουδα εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας

Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today Yahweh has rescued Israel.”

And Saul H7586 said, H559 (QalImpf) There shall not a man H376 be put to death H4191 (HophImpf) this day: H3117 for to day H3117 the Lord H3068 hath wrought H6213 (QalPerf) salvation H8668 in Israel. H3478

και ειπεν σαουλ ουκ αποθανειται ουδεις εν τη ημερα ταυτη οτι σημερον κυριος εποιησεν σωτηριαν εν ισραηλ

και επορευθη πας ο λαος εις γαλγαλα και εχρισεν σαμουηλ εκει τον σαουλ εις βασιλεα ενωπιον κυριου εν γαλγαλοις και εθυσεν εκει θυσιας και ειρηνικας ενωπιον κυριου και ευφρανθη σαμουηλ και πας ισραηλ ωστε λιαν

και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς παντα ανδρα ισραηλ ιδου ηκουσα φωνης υμων εις παντα οσα ειπατε μοι και εβασιλευσα εφ υμας βασιλεα

και εκλεγεται σαουλ εαυτω τρεις χιλιαδας ανδρων εκ των ανδρων ισραηλ και ησαν μετα σαουλ δισχιλιοι εν μαχεμας και εν τω ορει βαιθηλ χιλιοι ησαν μετα ιωναθαν εν γαβεε του βενιαμιν και το καταλοιπον του λαου εξαπεστειλεν εκαστον εις το σκηνωμα αυτου

All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.

And all Israel H3478 heard H8085 (QalPerf) say H559 (QalInf) that Saul H7586 had smitten H5221 (HiphPerf) a garrison H5333 of the Philistines, H6430 and that Israel H3478 also was had^§ in abomination H887 (NiphPerf) with the Philistines.

H1007

και οι αλλοφυλοι συναγονται εις πολεμον επι ισραηλ και αναβαινουσιν επι ισραηλ τριακοντα χιλιαδες αρματων και εξ χιλιαδες ιππεων και λαος ως η αμμος η παρα την θαλασσαν τω πληθει και αναβαινουσιν και παρεμβαλλουσιν εν μαχεμας εξ εναντιας βαιθων κατα νοτου

When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.

H953

και ανηρ ισραηλ ειδεν οτι στενως αυτω μη προσαγειν αυτον και εκρυβη ο λαος εν τοις σπηλαιοις και εν ταις μανδραις και εν ταις πετραις και εν τοις βοθροις και εν τοις λακκοις

Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you; for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.

And Samuel H8050 said H559 (QalImpf) to Saul, H7586 Thou hast done foolishly: H5528 (NiphPerf) thou hast not kept H8104 (QalPerf) the commandment H4687 of the Lord H3068 thy God, H430 which he commanded H6680 (PielPerf) thee: for now would the Lord H3068 have established H3559 (HiphPerf) thy kingdom H4467 upon Israel H3478 for H5704 ever. H5769

και ειπεν σαμουηλ προς σαουλ μεματαιωται σοι οτι ουκ εφυλαξας την εντολην μου ην ενετειλατο σοι κυριος ως νυν ητοιμασεν κυριος την βασιλειαν σου εως αιωνος επι ισραηλ

Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;

Now there was no smith H2796 found H4672 (NiphImpf) throughout all the land H776 of Israel: H3478 for the Philistines H6430 said, H559 (QalPerf) Lest the Hebrews H5680 make H6213 (QalImpf) them swords H2719 or spears: H2595

και τεκτων σιδηρου ουχ ευρισκετο εν παση γη ισραηλ οτι ειπον οι αλλοφυλοι μη ποιησωσιν οι εβραιοι ρομφαιαν και δορυ

but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.

but all the Israelites H3478 went down H3381 (QalImpf) to the Philistines, H6430 to sharpen H3913 (QalInf) every man H376 his share, H4282 and his coulter, H855 and his axe, H7134 and his mattock. H4281

και κατεβαινον πας ισραηλ εις γην αλλοφυλων χαλκευειν εκαστος το θεριστρον αυτου και το σκευος αυτου και εκαστος την αξινην αυτου και το δρεπανον αυτου

The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”

And the men H582 of the garrison H4675 answered H6030 (QalImpf) Jonathan H3129 and his armourbearer, H5375 (QalActPtc) H3627 and said, H559 (QalImpf) Come up H5927 (QalImpv) to us, and we will shew H3045 (HiphImpf) you a thing. H1697 And Jonathan H3129 said H559 (QalImpf) unto his armourbearer, H5375 (QalActPtc) H3627 Come up H5927 (QalImpv) after H310 me: for the Lord H3068 hath delivered H5414 (QalPerf) them into the hand H3027 of Israel. H3478

και απεκριθησαν οι ανδρες μεσσαβ προς ιωναθαν και προς τον αιροντα τα σκευη αυτου και λεγουσιν αναβητε προς ημας και γνωριουμεν υμιν ρημα και ειπεν ιωναθαν προς τον αιροντα τα σκευη αυτου αναβηθι οπισω μου οτι παρεδωκεν αυτους κυριος εις χειρας ισραηλ

Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.

And Saul H7586 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Ahiah, H281 Bring hither H5066 (HiphImpv) the ark H727 of God. H430 For the ark H727 of God H430 was at that time H3117 with the children H1121 of Israel. H3478

και ειπεν σαουλ τω αχια προσαγαγε το εφουδ οτι αυτος ηρεν το εφουδ εν τη ημερα εκεινη ενωπιον ισραηλ

Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

Moreover the Hebrews H5680 that were with the Philistines H6430 before H865 that time, H8032 which went up H5927 (QalPerf) with them into the camp H4264 from the country round about, H5439 even they also turned to be with the Israelites H3478 that were with Saul H7586 and Jonathan. H3129

και οι δουλοι οι οντες εχθες και τριτην ημεραν μετα των αλλοφυλων οι αναβαντες εις την παρεμβολην επεστραφησαν και αυτοι ειναι μετα ισραηλ των μετα σαουλ και ιωναθαν

Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

Likewise all the men H376 of Israel H3478 which had hid H2244 (HithPtc) themselves in mount H2022 Ephraim, H669 when they heard H8085 (QalPerf) that the Philistines H6430 fled, H5127 (QalPerf) even they also followed hard H1692 (HiphImpf) after H310 them in the battle. H4421

και πας ισραηλ οι κρυπτομενοι εν τω ορει εφραιμ και ηκουσαν οτι πεφευγασιν οι αλλοφυλοι και συναπτουσιν και αυτοι οπισω αυτων εις πολεμον

So Yahweh saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.

So the Lord H3068 saved H3467 (HiphImpf) Israel H3478 that day: H3117 and the battle H4421 passed over H5674 (QalPerf) unto Beth-aven. H1007

και εσωσεν κυριος εν τη ημερα εκεινη τον ισραηλ και ο πολεμος διηλθεν την βαιθων και πας ο λαος ην μετα σαουλ ως δεκα χιλιαδες ανδρων και ην ο πολεμος διεσπαρμενος εις ολην την πολιν εν τω ορει εφραιμ

The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.

And the men H376 of Israel H3478 were distressed H5065 (NiphPerf) that day: H3117 for Saul H7586 had adjured H422 (HiphImpf) the people, H5971 saying, H559 (QalInf) Cursed H779 (QalPasPtc) be the man H376 that eateth H398 (QalImpf) any food H3899 until evening, H6153 that I may be avenged H5358 (NiphPerf) on mine enemies. H341 (QalActPtc) So none of the people H5971 tasted H2938 (QalPerf) any food. H3899

και σαουλ ηγνοησεν αγνοιαν μεγαλην εν τη ημερα εκεινη και αραται τω λαω λεγων επικαταρατος ο ανθρωπος ος φαγεται αρτον εως εσπερας και εκδικησω τον εχθρον μου και ουκ εγευσατο πας ο λαος αρτου
