| 10:2 | When 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? |
| 10:3 | Then 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: |
| 10:4 | And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. |
| 10:5 | After 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: |
| 10:6 | And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. |
| 10:7 | And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee. |
| 10:8 | And 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. |
| 10:9 | And 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. |
| 10:10 | And 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. |
| 10:11 | And 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? |
| 10:12 | And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? |
| 10:13 | And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. |
| 10:14 | And 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. |
| 10:15 | And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. |
| 10:16 | And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not. |
| 10:17 | And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh; |
| 10:18 | And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: |
| 10:19 | 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. |
| 10:20 | And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. |
| 10:21 | When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found. |
| 10:22 | Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff. |
| 10:23 | And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. |
| 10:24 | And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king. |
| 10:25 | Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. |

| deu:17:14 | When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; |
| deu:17:15 | Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother. |
| deu:17:16 | But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. |
| deu:17:17 | Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. |
| deu:17:18 | And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: |
| deu:17:19 | And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: |
| deu:17:20 | That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel. |
| 1sa:8:11 | 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. |
| 1sa:8:12 | 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. |
| 1sa:8:13 | And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. |
| 1sa:8:14 | And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. |
| 1sa:8:15 | And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. |
| 1sa:8:16 | And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. |
| 1sa:8:17 | He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. |
| 1sa:8:18 | And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. |
