1 Samuel 10

1Then 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?

וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת־פַּךְ הַשֶּׁמֶן וַיִּצֹק עַל־רֹאשֹׁו וַיִּשָּׁקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הֲלֹוא כִּי־מְשָׁחֲךָ יְהוָה עַל־נַחֲלָתֹו לְנָגִיד׃ (4051)

2When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel’s sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?

בְּלֶכְתְּךָ הַיֹּום מֵעִמָּדִי וּמָצָאתָ שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים עִם־קְבֻרַת רָחֵל בִּגְבוּל בִּנְיָמִן בְּצֶלְצַח וְאָמְרוּ אֵלֶיךָ נִמְצְאוּ הָאֲתֹנֹות אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְתָּ לְבַקֵּשׁ וְהִנֵּה נָטַשׁ אָבִיךָ אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הָאֲתֹנֹות וְדָאַג לָכֶם לֵאמֹר מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה לִבְנִי׃ (9036)

3Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:

וְחָלַפְתָּ מִשָּׁם וָהָלְאָה וּבָאתָ עַד־אֵלֹון תָּבֹור וּמְצָאוּךָ שָּׁם שְׁלֹשָׁה אֲנָשִׁים עֹלִים אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים בֵּית־אֵל אֶחָד נֹשֵׂא ׀ שְׁלֹשָׁה גְדָיִים וְאֶחָד נֹשֵׂא שְׁלֹשֶׁת כִּכְּרֹות לֶחֶם וְאֶחָד נֹשֵׂא נֵבֶל־יָיִן׃ (8095)

4And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.

וְשָׁאֲלוּ לְךָ לְשָׁלֹום וְנָתְנוּ לְךָ שְׁתֵּי־לֶחֶם וְלָקַחְתָּ מִיָּדָם׃ (2787)

5After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

אַחַר כֵּן תָּבֹוא גִּבְעַת הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם נְצִבֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וִיהִי כְבֹאֲךָ שָׁם הָעִיר וּפָגַעְתָּ חֶבֶל נְבִיאִים יֹרְדִים מֵהַבָּמָה וְלִפְנֵיהֶם נֵבֶל וְתֹף וְחָלִיל וְכִנֹּור וְהֵמָּה מִתְנַבְּאִים׃ (6628)

6And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

וְצָלְחָה עָלֶיךָ רוּחַ יְהוָה וְהִתְנַבִּיתָ עִמָּם וְנֶהְפַּכְתָּ לְאִישׁ אַחֵר׃ (2643)

7And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.

וְהָיָה כִּי [תְבֹאֶינָה כ] (תָבֹאנָה ק) הָאֹתֹות הָאֵלֶּה לָךְ עֲשֵׂה לְךָ אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצָא יָדֶךָ כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים עִמָּךְ׃ (3747)

8And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.

וְיָרַדְתָּ לְפָנַי הַגִּלְגָּל וְהִנֵּה אָנֹכִי יֹרֵד אֵלֶיךָ לְהַעֲלֹות עֹלֹות לִזְבֹּחַ זִבְחֵי שְׁלָמִים שִׁבְעַת יָמִים תֹּוחֵל עַד־בֹּואִי אֵלֶיךָ וְהֹודַעְתִּי לְךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר תַּעֲשֶׂה׃ (6522)

9And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.

וְהָיָה כְּהַפְנֹתֹו שִׁכְמֹו לָלֶכֶת מֵעִם שְׁמוּאֵל וַיַּהֲפָךְ־לֹו אֱלֹהִים לֵב אַחֵר וַיָּבֹאוּ כָּל־הָאֹתֹות הָאֵלֶּה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא׃ (3447)

10And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

וַיָּבֹאוּ שָׁם הַגִּבְעָתָה וְהִנֵּה חֶבֶל־נְבִאִים לִקְרָאתֹו וַתִּצְלַח עָלָיו רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים וַיִּתְנַבֵּא בְּתֹוכָם׃ (3683)

11And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

וַיְהִי כָּל־יֹודְעֹו מֵאִתְּמֹול שִׁלְשֹׁום וַיִּרְאוּ וְהִנֵּה עִם־נְבִאִים נִבָּא וַיֹּאמֶר הָעָם אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ מַה־זֶּה הָיָה לְבֶן־קִישׁ הֲגַם שָׁאוּל בַּנְּבִיאִים׃ (3989)

12And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?

וַיַּעַן אִישׁ מִשָּׁם וַיֹּאמֶר וּמִי אֲבִיהֶם עַל־כֵּן הָיְתָה לְמָשָׁל הֲגַם שָׁאוּל בַּנְּבִאִים׃ (2678)

13And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.

וַיְכַל מֵהִתְנַבֹּות וַיָּבֹא הַבָּמָה׃ (1040)

14And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.

וַיֹּאמֶר דֹּוד שָׁאוּל אֵלָיו וְאֶל־נַעֲרֹו אָן הֲלַכְתֶּם וַיֹּאמֶר לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־הָאֲתֹנֹות וַנִּרְאֶה כִי־אַיִן וַנָּבֹוא אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל׃ (4342)

15And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.

וַיֹּאמֶר דֹּוד שָׁאוּל הַגִּידָה־נָּא לִי מָה־אָמַר לָכֶם שְׁמוּאֵל׃ (1479)
