31
 And many of the people believed on him [Jesus], and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this
man
hath done?
32
 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33
 Then said Jesus unto them,
Yet a little while am I with you, and
then
I go unto him that sent me.
34
Â
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find
me:
and where I am,
thither
ye cannot come.
35
 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36
 What
manner of
saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find
me:
and where I am,
thither
ye cannot come?
37
 In the last day, that great
day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38
Â
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39
 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet
given;
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40
 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41
 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42
 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43
 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44
 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45
 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46
 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47
 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48
 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49
 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50
 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51
 Doth our law judge
any
man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52
 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53
 And every man went unto his own house.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1
 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2
 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3
 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4
 For my love they are my adversaries: but I
give myself unto
prayer.
5
 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6
 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7
 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8
 Let his days be few;
and
let another take his office.
9
 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10
 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek
their bread
also out of their desolate places.
11
 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12
 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13
 Let his posterity be cut off;
and
in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14
 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the L
ORD
; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15
 Let them be before the L
ORD
continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16
 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17
 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18
 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19
 Let it be unto him as the garment
which
covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20
Â
Let
this
be
the reward of mine adversaries from the L
ORD
, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21
 But do thou for me, O G
OD
the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy
is
good, deliver thou me.
22
 For I
am
poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23
 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24
 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25
 I became also a reproach unto them:
when
they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26
 Help me, O L
ORD
my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27
 That they may know that this
is
thy hand;
that
thou, L
ORD
, hast done it.
28
 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29
 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30
 I will greatly praise the L
ORD
with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31
 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save
him
from those that condemn his soul.
5
 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
6
 In the house of the righteous
is
much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7
 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish
doeth
not so.
1
 Samuel also said unto Saul, The L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
2
 Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts, I remember
that
which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid
wait
for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
3
 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
4
 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5
 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
6
 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7
 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah
until
thou comest to Shur, that
is
over against Egypt.
8
 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9
 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all
that was
good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing
that was
vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
10
 Then came the word of the L
ORD
unto Samuel, saying,
11
 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul
to be
king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the L
ORD
all night.
12
 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
13
 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed
be
thou of the L
ORD
: I have performed the commandment of the L
ORD
.
14
 And Samuel said, What
meaneth
then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
15
 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the L
ORD
thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
16
 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the L
ORD
hath said to me this night.
And he said unto him, Say on.
17
 And Samuel said, When thou
wast
little in thine own sight,
wast
thou not
made
the head of the tribes of Israel, and the L
ORD
anointed thee king over Israel?
18
 And the L
ORD
sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
19
 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the L
ORD
, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the L
ORD
?
20
 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the L
ORD
, and have gone the way which the L
ORD
sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21
 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the L
ORD
thy God in Gilgal.
22
 And Samuel said, Hath the L
ORD
as great
delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the L
ORD
? Behold, to obey
is
better than sacrifice,
and
to hearken than the fat of rams.
23
 For rebellion
is as
the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness
is as
iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the L
ORD
, he hath also rejected thee from
being
king.
24
 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the L
ORD
, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25
 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the L
ORD
.
26
 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the L
ORD
, and the L
ORD
hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
27
 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28
 And Samuel said unto him, The L
ORD
hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine,
that is
better than thou.
29
 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he
is
not a man, that he should repent.
30
 Then he said, I have sinned:
yet
honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the L
ORD
thy God.
31
 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the L
ORD
.
32
 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately.
And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
33
 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the L
ORD
in Gilgal.
34
 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
35
 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the L
ORD
repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
16:
1
 And the L
ORD
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.
2
 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear
it,
he will kill me.
And the L
ORD
said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the L
ORD
.
3
 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me
him
whom I name unto thee.
4
 And Samuel did that which the L
ORD
spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
5
 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the L
ORD
: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
6
 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the L
ORD
's anointed
is
before him.
7
 But the L
ORD
said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for
the L
ORD
seeth
not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the L
ORD
looketh on the heart.
8
 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the L
ORD
chosen this.
9
 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the L
ORD
chosen this.
10
 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The L
ORD
hath not chosen these.
11
 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all
thy
children?
And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep.
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
12
 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he
was
ruddy,
and
withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the L
ORD
said, Arise, anoint him: for this
is
he.
13
 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the L
ORD
came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
14
 But the spirit of the L
ORD
departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the L
ORD
troubled him.
15
 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
16
 Let our lord now command thy servants,
which are
before thee, to seek out a man,
who is
a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
17
 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring
him
to me.
18
 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite,
that is
cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the L
ORD
is
with him.
19
 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which
is
with the sheep.
20
 And Jesse took an ass
laden
with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent
them
by David his son unto Saul.
21
 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
22
 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
23
 And it came to pass, when the
evil
spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
