Book 9: 1 Samuel

(1 Samuel 2:1) “And Han’-nah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.”

(1 Samuel 4:18) “And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Is’-ra-el forty years.

(1 Samuel 9:1) “Now there was a man of Ben’-ja-min, whose name was Kish, the son of A-bi’-el, the son of Ze’-ror, the son of Be-cho’-rath, the son of A-phi’-ah, a Ben’-ja-mite, a mighty man of power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Is’-ra-el a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.”

(1 Samuel 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.”

(1 Samuel 14:25) “And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground. And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath. But Jon’-a-than heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.”

(1 Samuel 17:18) “And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.”

(1 Samuel 18:27) “Wherefore Da’-vid arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Phil’-is-tines two hundred men; and Da’-vid brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king’s son in law. And Saul gave him Mi’-chal his daughter to wife.”

(1 Samuel 21:9) “And the priest said, The sword of Go-li’-ath the Phil’-is-tine, whom thou slewest in the valley of E’-lah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the e’-phod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And Da’-vid said, There is none like that; give it me.”

(1 Samuel 24:2) “Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Is’-ra-el, and went to seek Da’-vid and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet.”

(1 Samuel 28:3) “And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.”

(1 Samuel 31:4) “Then said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me.”
