But if H518 you shall still do wickedly, H7489 you shall be consumed, H5595 both H1571 you and your king. H4428

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to Saul, H7586 You have done foolishly: H5528 you have not kept H8104 the commandment H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God, H430 which H834 he commanded H6680 you: for now H6258 would the LORD H3068 have established H3559 your kingdom H4467 on Israel H3478 for ever. H5769

It repents H5162 me that I have set H4427 up Saul H7586 to be king: H4428 for he is turned H7725 back H7725 from following H310 me, and has not performed H6965 my commandments. H1697 And it grieved H2734 Samuel; H8050 and he cried H2199 to the LORD H3068 all H3605 night. H3915

For rebellion H4805 is as the sin H2403 of witchcraft, H7081 and stubbornness H6484 is as iniquity H205 and idolatry. H8655 Because H3282 you have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 he has also rejected H3988 you from being king. H4428

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to Saul, H7586 I will not return H7725 with you: for you have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 and the LORD H3068 has rejected H3988 you from being king H4428 over H5921 Israel. H3478

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to him, The LORD H3068 has rent H7167 the kingdom H4468 of Israel H3478 from you this day, H3117 and has given H5414 it to a neighbor H7453 of yours, that is better H2896 than you.

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Samuel, H8050 How H5704 long H5704 will you mourn H56 for Saul, H7586 seeing I have rejected H3988 him from reigning H4427 over H5921 Israel? H3478 fill H4390 your horn H7161 with oil, H8081 and go, H3212 I will send H7971 you to Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite: H1022 for I have provided H7200 me a king H4428 among his sons. H1121

Then said H559 Samuel, H8050 Why H4100 then do you ask H7592 of me, seeing the LORD H3068 is departed H5493 from you, and is become H1961 your enemy? H6145

So Saul H7586 died, H4191 and his three H7969 sons, H1121 and his armor bearer, H5375 H3627 and all H3605 his men, H582 that same H1931 day H3117 together. H3162

But my mercy H2617 shall not depart H5493 away from him, as I took H5493 it from Saul, H7586 whom H834 I put H5493 away H5493 before H6440 you.

So Saul H7586 died H4191 for his transgression H4604 which H834 he committed H4603 against the LORD, H3068 even against H5921 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 which H834 he kept H8104 not, and also H1571 for asking H7592 counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, H178 to inquire H1875 of it;

I will H165 be your king: H4428 where H645 is any other that may save H3467 you in all H3605 your cities? H5892 and your judges H8199 of whom H834 you said, H559 Give H5414 me a king H4428 and princes? H8269

I gave H5414 you a king H4428 in my anger, H639 and took H3947 him away in my wrath. H5678

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Samuel, H8050 How H5704 long H5704 will you mourn H56 for Saul, H7586 seeing I have rejected H3988 him from reigning H4427 over H5921 Israel? H3478 fill H4390 your horn H7161 with oil, H8081 and go, H3212 I will send H7971 you to Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite: H1022 for I have provided H7200 me a king H4428 among his sons. H1121

Then Samuel H8050 took H3947 the horn H7161 of oil, H8081 and anointed H4886 him in the middle H7130 of his brothers: H251 and the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 came H6743 on David H1732 from that day H3117 forward. H4605 So Samuel H8050 rose H6965 up, and went H3212 to Ramah. H7414

And the men H582 of Judah H3063 came, H935 and there H8033 they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 the house H1004 of Judah. H3063 And they told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 That the men H582 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 were they that buried H6912 Saul. H7586

So all H3605 the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 came H935 to the king H4428 to Hebron; H2275 and king H4428 David H1732 made H3772 a league H1285 with them in Hebron H2275 before H6440 the LORD: H3068 and they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 Israel. H3478

In Hebron H2275 he reigned H4427 over H5921 Judah H3063 seven H7651 years H8141 and six H8337 months: H2320 and in Jerusalem H3389 he reigned H4427 thirty H7970 and three H7969 years H8141 over H5921 all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah. H3063

Now H6258 therefore so shall you say H559 to my servant H5650 David, H1732 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 I took H3947 you from the sheepcote, H5116 from following H310 the sheep, H6629 to be ruler H5057 over H5921 my people, H5971 over H5921 Israel: H3478

However, the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 chose H977 me before all H3605 the house H1004 of my father H25 to be king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 for ever: H5769 for he has chosen H977 Judah H3063 to be the ruler; H5057 and of the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 the house H1004 of my father; H25 and among the sons H1121 of my father H25 he liked H7521 me to make me king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel: H3478

And of all H3605 my sons, H1121 (for the LORD H3068 has given H5414 me many H7227 sons, H1121 ) he has chosen H977 Solomon H8010 my son H1121 to sit H3427 on the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4438 of the LORD H3068 over H5921 Israel. H3478

Yet have I set H5258 my king H4428 on my holy H6944 hill H2022 of Zion. H6726

He chose H977 David H1732 also his servant, H5650 and took H3947 him from the sheepfolds: H4356

So he fed H7462 them according to the integrity H8537 of his heart; H3824 and guided H5148 them by the skillfulness H8394 of his hands. H3709

Then H227 you spoke H1696 in vision H2377 to your holy H2623 one, and said, H559 I have laid H7737 help H5828 on one that is mighty; H1368 I have exalted H7311 one chosen H970 out of the people. H5971

I have found H4672 David H1732 my servant; H5650 with my holy H6944 oil H8081 have I anointed H4886 him:

The enemy H341 shall not exact H5378 on him; nor H3808 the son H1121 of wickedness H5766 afflict H6031 him.

But my faithfulness H530 and my mercy H2617 shall be with him: and in my name H8034 shall his horn H7161 be exalted. H7311

He shall cry H7121 to me, You are my father, H1 my God, H410 and the rock H6697 of my salvation. H3444

My mercy H2617 will I keep H8104 for him for ever more, H5769 and my covenant H1285 shall stand H539 fast with him.

If H518 his children H1121 forsake H5800 my law, H8451 and walk H3212 not in my judgments; H4941

Then will I visit H6485 their transgression H6588 with the rod, H7626 and their iniquity H5771 with stripes. H5061

My covenant H1285 will I not break, H2490 nor H3808 alter H8138 the thing that is gone H4161 out of my lips. H8193

His seed H2233 shall endure H1961 for ever, H5769 and his throne H3678 as the sun H8121 before H5048 me.

Then may also H1571 my covenant H1285 be broken H6565 with David H1732 my servant, H5650 that he should not have H1961 a son H1121 to reign H4427 on his throne; H3678 and with the Levites H3881 the priests, H3548 my ministers. H8334

Then H1571 will I cast H3988 away the seed H2233 of Jacob H3290 and David H1732 my servant, H5650 so that I will not take H3947 any of his seed H2233 to be rulers H4910 over H413 the seed H2233 of Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3446 and Jacob: H3290 for I will cause their captivity H7622 to return, H7725 and have mercy H7355 on them.

And I will set H6965 up one H259 shepherd H7462 over H5921 them, and he shall feed H7462 them, even H853 my servant H5650 David; H1732 he shall feed H7462 them, and he shall be their shepherd. H7462

And David H1732 my servant H5650 shall be king H4428 over H5921 them; and they all H3605 shall have H1961 one H259 shepherd: H7462 they shall also walk H3212 in my judgments, H4941 and observe H8104 my statutes, H2708 and do H6213 them.

And they shall dwell H3427 in the land H776 that I have given H5414 to Jacob H3290 my servant, H5650 wherein H834 your fathers H1 have dwelled; H3427 and they shall dwell H3427 therein, even they, and their children, H1121 and their children's H1121 children H1121 for ever: H5769 and my servant H5650 David H1732 shall be their prince H5387 for ever. H5769

Afterward H310 shall the children H1121 of Israel H3478 return, H7725 and seek H1245 the LORD H3068 their God, H430 and David H1732 their king; H4428 and shall fear H6342 the LORD H3068 and his goodness H2898 in the latter H319 days. H3117

And God, G2316 which knows G2589 the hearts, G2589 bore G3140 them witness, G3140 giving G1325 them the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 even G2532 as he did to us;

By faith G4102 Abel G6 offered G4374 to God G2316 a more excellent G4119 sacrifice G2378 than G3844 Cain, G2535 by which G3739 he obtained G3140 witness G3140 that he was righteous, G1342 God G2316 testifying G3140 of his gifts: G1435 and by it he being dead G599 yet G2089 speaks. G2980

By faith G4102 Enoch G1802 was translated G3346 that he should not see G1492 death; G2288 and was not found, G2147 because G1360 God G2316 had translated G3346 him: for before G4253 his translation G3331 he had this testimony, G3140 that he pleased G2100 God. G2316

Who G3739 found G2147 favor G5485 before G1799 God, G2316 and desired G154 to find G2147 a tabernacle G4638 for the God G2316 of Jacob. G2384

But now H6258 your kingdom H4467 shall not continue: H6965 the LORD H3068 has sought H1245 him a man H376 after his own heart, H3824 and the LORD H3068 has commanded H6680 him to be captain H5057 over H5921 his people, H5971 because H3588 you have not kept H8104 that which H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 you.

And he walked H3212 in all H3605 the sins H2403 of his father, H1 which H834 he had done H6213 before H6440 him: and his heart H3824 was not perfect H8003 with the LORD H3068 his God, H430 as the heart H3824 of David H1732 his father. H1

Because H834 David H1732 did H6213 that which was right H3477 in the eyes H5869 of the LORD, H3068 and turned H5493 not aside from any H3605 thing that he commanded H6680 him all H3605 the days H3117 of his life, H2416 save only H7535 in the matter H1697 of Uriah H223 the Hittite. H2850
