1 Samuel 1:17; 1 Samuel 1:18; 1 Samuel 2:11; 1 Samuel 3:5; 1 Samuel 3:6; 1 Samuel 3:8; 1 Samuel 3:9; 1 Samuel 6:6; 1 Samuel 8:22; 1 Samuel 9:3; 1 Samuel 9:5; 1 Samuel 9:6; 1 Samuel 9:7; 1 Samuel 9:9; 1 Samuel 9:10; 1 Samuel 10:2; 1 Samuel 10:9; 1 Samuel 10:26; 1 Samuel 11:14; 1 Samuel 11:15; 1 Samuel 14:1; 1 Samuel 14:6; 1 Samuel 14:16; 1 Samuel 14:19; 1 Samuel 15:3; 1 Samuel 15:6; 1 Samuel 15:18; 1 Samuel 15:20; 1 Samuel 15:27; 1 Samuel 15:32; 1 Samuel 15:34; 1 Samuel 16:1; 1 Samuel 16:2; 1 Samuel 16:13; 1 Samuel 17:13; 1 Samuel 17:20; 1 Samuel 17:32; 1 Samuel 17:33; 1 Samuel 17:37; 1 Samuel 17:39; 1 Samuel 17:41; 1 Samuel 17:44; 1 Samuel 17:48; 1 Samuel 18:27; 1 Samuel 19:12; 1 Samuel 19:18; 1 Samuel 19:22; 1 Samuel 19:23; 1 Samuel 20:11; 1 Samuel 20:21; 1 Samuel 20:22; 1 Samuel 20:40; 1 Samuel 20:42; 1 Samuel 22:1; 1 Samuel 22:3; 1 Samuel 22:5; 1 Samuel 23:2; 1 Samuel 23:3; 1 Samuel 23:5; 1 Samuel 23:16; 1 Samuel 23:22; 1 Samuel 23:24; 1 Samuel 23:25; 1 Samuel 23:26; 1 Samuel 23:27; 1 Samuel 23:28; 1 Samuel 24:2; 1 Samuel 24:7; 1 Samuel 24:22; 1 Samuel 26:11; 1 Samuel 26:12; 1 Samuel 26:19; 1 Samuel 26:25; 1 Samuel 28:7; 1 Samuel 28:8; 1 Samuel 28:22; 1 Samuel 28:25; 1 Samuel 29:7; 1 Samuel 29:10; 1 Samuel 29:11; 1 Samuel 30:2; 1 Samuel 30:9; 1 Samuel 30:21; 1 Samuel 30:22; 1 Samuel 31:12

1 Samuel 1:17

17 Eli answered, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant you what you have asked of him.”

1 Samuel 1:18

18 She said, “May your servant find favor in your eyes.” Then she went her way and ate something, and her face was no longer downcast.

1 Samuel 2:11

11 Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy ministered before the LORD under Eli the priest.

1 Samuel 3:5

5 And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.

1 Samuel 3:6

6 Again the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” “My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.”

1 Samuel 3:8

8 A third time the LORD called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.” Then Eli realized that the LORD was calling the boy.

1 Samuel 3:9

9 So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

1 Samuel 6:6

6 Why do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When Israel’s god dealt harshly with them, did they not send the Israelites out so they could go on their way?

1 Samuel 8:22

22 The LORD answered, “Listen to them and give them a king.” Then Samuel said to the Israelites, “Everyone go back to your own town.”

1 Samuel 9:3

3 Now the donkeys belonging to Saul’s father Kish were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, “Take one of the servants with you and go and look for the donkeys.”

1 Samuel 9:5

5 When they reached the district of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, “Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying about us.”

1 Samuel 9:6

6 But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take.”

1 Samuel 9:7

7 Saul said to his servant, “If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?”

1 Samuel 9:9

9 (Formerly in Israel, if someone went to inquire of God, they would say, “Come, let us go to the seer,” because the prophet of today used to be called a seer.)

1 Samuel 9:10

10 “Good,” Saul said to his servant. “Come, let’s go.” So they set out for the town where the man of God was.

1 Samuel 10:2

2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb, at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?” ’

1 Samuel 10:9

9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day.

1 Samuel 10:26

26 Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whose hearts God had touched.

1 Samuel 11:14

14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingship.”

1 Samuel 11:15

15 So all the people went to Gilgal and made Saul king in the presence of the LORD. There they sacrificed fellowship offerings before the LORD, and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration.

1 Samuel 14:1

1 One day Jonathan son of Saul said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side.” But he did not tell his father.

1 Samuel 14:6

6 Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, “Come, let’s go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few.”

1 Samuel 14:16

16 Saul’s lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the army melting away in all directions.

1 Samuel 14:19

19 While Saul was talking to the priest, the tumult in the Philistine camp increased more and more. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”

1 Samuel 15:3

3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ ”

1 Samuel 15:6

6 Then he said to the Kenites, “Go away, leave the Amalekites so that I do not destroy you along with them; for you showed kindness to all the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites moved away from the Amalekites.

1 Samuel 15:18

18 And he sent you on a mission, saying, ‘Go and completely destroy those wicked people, the Amalekites; wage war against them until you have wiped them out.’

1 Samuel 15:20

20 “But I did obey the LORD,” Saul said. “I went on the mission the LORD assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king.

1 Samuel 15:27

27 As Samuel turned to leave, Saul caught hold of the hem of his robe, and it tore.

1 Samuel 15:32

32 Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him in chains. And he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”

1 Samuel 15:34

34 Then Samuel left for Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.

1 Samuel 16:1

1 The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”

1 Samuel 16:2

2 But Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” The LORD said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.’

1 Samuel 16:13

13 So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah.

1 Samuel 17:13

13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to the war: The firstborn was Eliab; the second, Abinadab; and the third, Shammah.

1 Samuel 17:20

20 Early in the morning David left the flock in the care of a shepherd, loaded up and set out, as Jesse had directed. He reached the camp as the army was going out to its battle positions, shouting the war cry.

1 Samuel 17:32

32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”

1 Samuel 17:33

33 Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

1 Samuel 17:37

37 The LORD who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you.”

1 Samuel 17:39

39 David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.

1 Samuel 17:41

41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David.

1 Samuel 17:44

44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”

1 Samuel 17:48

48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.

1 Samuel 18:27

27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

1 Samuel 19:12

12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped.

1 Samuel 19:18

18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.

1 Samuel 19:22

22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “Over in Naioth at Ramah,” they said.

1 Samuel 19:23

23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth.

1 Samuel 20:11

11 “Come,” Jonathan said, “let’s go out into the field.” So they went there together.

1 Samuel 20:21

21 Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,’ then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.

1 Samuel 20:22

22 But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,’ then you must go, because the LORD has sent you away.

1 Samuel 20:40

40 Then Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy and said, “Go, carry them back to town.”

1 Samuel 20:42

42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’ ” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.

1 Samuel 22:1

1 David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.

1 Samuel 22:3

3 From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?”

1 Samuel 22:5

5 But the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.

1 Samuel 23:2

2 he inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” The LORD answered him, “Go, attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”

1 Samuel 23:3

3 But David’s men said to him, “Here in Judah we are afraid. How much more, then, if we go to Keilah against the Philistine forces!”

1 Samuel 23:5

5 So David and his men went to Keilah, fought the Philistines and carried off their livestock. He inflicted heavy losses on the Philistines and saved the people of Keilah.

1 Samuel 23:16

16 And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God.

1 Samuel 23:22

22 Go and get more information. Find out where David usually goes and who has seen him there. They tell me he is very crafty.

1 Samuel 23:24

24 So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Desert of Maon, in the Arabah south of Jeshimon.

1 Samuel 23:25

25 Saul and his men began the search, and when David was told about it, he went down to the rock and stayed in the Desert of Maon. When Saul heard this, he went into the Desert of Maon in pursuit of David.

1 Samuel 23:26

26 Saul was going along one side of the mountain, and David and his men were on the other side, hurrying to get away from Saul. As Saul and his forces were closing in on David and his men to capture them,

1 Samuel 23:27

27 a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly! The Philistines are raiding the land.”

1 Samuel 23:28

28 Then Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why they call this place Sela Hammahlekoth.

1 Samuel 24:2

2 So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.

1 Samuel 24:7

7 With these words David sharply rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.

1 Samuel 24:22

22 So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

1 Samuel 26:11

11 But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.”

1 Samuel 26:12

12 So David took the spear and water jug near Saul’s head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.

1 Samuel 26:19

19 Now let my lord the king listen to his servant’s words. If the LORD has incited you against me, then may he accept an offering. If, however, people have done it, may they be cursed before the LORD! They have driven me today from my share in the LORD’s inheritance and have said, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

1 Samuel 26:25

25 Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.

1 Samuel 28:7

7 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her.” “There is one in Endor,” they said.

1 Samuel 28:8

8 So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. “Consult a spirit for me,” he said, “and bring up for me the one I name.”

1 Samuel 28:22

22 Now please listen to your servant and let me give you some food so you may eat and have the strength to go on your way.”

1 Samuel 28:25

25 Then she set it before Saul and his men, and they ate. That same night they got up and left.

1 Samuel 29:7

7 Now turn back and go in peace; do nothing to displease the Philistine rulers.”

1 Samuel 29:10

10 Now get up early, along with your master’s servants who have come with you, and leave in the morning as soon as it is light.”

1 Samuel 29:11

11 So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

1 Samuel 30:2

2 and had taken captive the women and everyone else in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way.

1 Samuel 30:9

9 David and the six hundred men with him came to the Besor Valley, where some stayed behind.

1 Samuel 30:21

21 Then David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him and who were left behind at the Besor Valley. They came out to meet David and the men with him. As David and his men approached, he asked them how they were.

1 Samuel 30:22

22 But all the evil men and troublemakers among David’s followers said, “Because they did not go out with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered. However, each man may take his wife and children and go.”

1 Samuel 31:12

12 all their valiant men marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned them.
