shall we bring the man? For the lechem is gone in our
vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of
Elohim: what do we have?
8 And the eved answered Shaul again, and said, See, I
have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that
will I give to the man of Elohim, to tell us our way.
9 In the past in Yisrael, when a man went to inquire of
Elohim, he spoke like this, Come, and let us go to the
seer: for he that is now called a navi used to be called a
seer.
10 Then said Shaul to his eved, Well said; come, let us
go. So they went to the city where the man of Elohim
was.
11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found
young maidens going out to draw mayim, and said to
them, Is the seer here?
12 And they answered them, and said, He is; see, he is in
front of you: hurry now, for he came today to the city; for
there is a sacrifice of the people today in the high place:
13 As soon as you come into the city, you shall find him
immediately, before he goes up to the high place to eat:
for the people will not eat until he comes, because he does
the bracha upon the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that
are invited. Now therefore go; for about this time you
shall find him.
14 And they went up into the city: and when they had
come into the city, see, Schmuel came out toward them,
going up to the high place.
15 Now vuvh had told Schmuel in his ear the day before
Shaul came, saying,
16 Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man out of
the land of Benyamin, and you shall anoint him to be
leader over My people Yisrael, that he may save My
people out of the hand of the Plishtim: for I have looked
upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.
17 And when Schmuel saw Shaul, vuvh said to him, See
the man of whom I spoke to you! He shall reign over My
people.
18 Then Shaul drew near to Schmuel in the gate, and said,
Tell me, please, where the seer's bayit is.
19 And Schmuel answered Shaul, and said, I am the seer:
go up before me to the high place; for you shall eat with
me today, and tomorrow I will let you go, and will tell
you all that is in your lev.
20 And as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago,
set not your mind on them; for they are found. And for
whom is all the desire of Yisrael? Is it not on you, and all
your abba's bayit?
21 And Shaul answered and said, Am not I a Benyamite,
of the smallest of the tribes of Yisrael? And my
mishpacha is the least of all the mishpachot of the tribe of
Benyamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?
22 And Schmuel took Shaul and his eved, and brought
them into the hall, and made them sit in the best place
among them that were invited, which were about thirty
persons.
23 And Schmuel said to the cook, Bring the portion that I
gave you, of which I said to you, Set it aside.
24 And the cook took up the thigh, and that which was
upon it, and set it before Shaul. And Schmuel said, See
that which is left! Set it before you, and eat: for this time
has it been kept for you since I said, I have invited the
people. So Shaul did eat with Schmuel that day.
SCHMUEL ALEF - FIRST SAMUEL
- 192 -
25 And when they were come down from the high place
into the city, Schmuel communed with Shaul upon the top
of the bayit.
26 And they rose early: and it came to pass about the
dawning of the day, that Schmuel called Shaul to the top
of the bayit, saying, Come up, that I may send you on
your way. And Shaul arose, and they went out both of
them, he and Schmuel, outside.
27 And as they were going down to the end of the city,
Schmuel said to Shaul, Ask your eved to go on ahead of
us, and he went on, but stay here for a while, that I may
show you the word of Elohim.
10
Then Schmuel took a flask of oil, and poured it upon
his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because vuvh
has anointed you to be leader over his inheritance?
2 When you have departed from me today, then you shall
find two men by Rachel's tomb at the border of Benyamin
at Tzelzah; and they will say to you, The donkeys which
you went to seek are found: and, see, your abba has
stopped caring about the donkeys, and worries about you,
saying, What shall I do about my son?
3 Then shall you go on forward from there, and you shall
come to the plain of Tavor, and there shall meet you three
men going up to Elohim to Beth-El, one carrying three
young goats, and another carrying three loaves of lechem,
and another carrying a skin of wine:
4 And they will greet you, and give you two loaves of
lechem; which you shall receive from their hands.
5 After that you shall come to the hill of Elohim, where is
the watch-post of the Plishtim: and it shall come to pass,
when you are come there to the city, that you shall meet a
group of neviim coming down from the high place with a
stringed instrument, and a flute, and a pipe, and a harp,
before them; and they shall prophesy:
6 And the Ruach of vuvh will come upon you, and you
shall prophesy with them, and shall be turned into another
man. 771
7 And let it be, when these signs have come to you, that
you do whatever your hand finds to do; for Elohim is with
you.
8 And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and, see, I
will come down to you, to offer burnt offerings, and to
sacrifice the sacrifices of the shalom offerings: seven days
shall you stay, until I come to you, and show you what
you shall do.
9 And it was so, that when he had left Schmuel, Elohim
gave him another lev: 772 and all those signs came to pass
that day.
10 And when they came there to the hill, see, a group of
neviim met him; and the Ruach of Elohim came upon
him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him from
before saw that, see, he prophesied among the neviim,
then the people said one to another, What is this that has
happened to the son of Kish? Is Shaul also among the
neviim?
12 And a man of the same place answered and said, But
who is their abba? Therefore it became a mishle, Is Shaul
also among the neviim?
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he
came to the high place.
14 And Shaul's uncle said to him and to his eved, Where
