Ask a QuestionAnd Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, please, what Samuel said to you."
The sons of Samuel were Joel the firstborn, and Abijah the second.
Then Samuel called the people together to the LORD at Mizpah,
And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish.
Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there."
So Samuel turned back after Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
They arose early; and it was about the dawning of the day that Samuel called to Saul on the top of the house, saying, "Get up, that I may send you on your way." And Saul arose, and both of them went outside, he and Samuel.
Then Samuel explained to the people the behavior of royalty, 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.
David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and so both of them were his wives.
So the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed their voice, and make them a king." And Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Every man go to his city."
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you did call me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy.
Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."
So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the LORD. And they fasted that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.
So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal."
But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
And Samuel went no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, and the LORD regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb.
Then they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli.
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, even as a child, wearing a linen ephod.
And the child Samuel grew in stature, and in favor both with the LORD and men.
