1 Samuel 1:22; 1 Samuel 1:24; 1 Samuel 1:25; 1 Samuel 1:27; 1 Samuel 2:11; 1 Samuel 2:13; 1 Samuel 2:15; 1 Samuel 2:17; 1 Samuel 2:18; 1 Samuel 2:21; 1 Samuel 2:26; 1 Samuel 3:1; 1 Samuel 3:8; 1 Samuel 4:21; 1 Samuel 9:3; 1 Samuel 9:5; 1 Samuel 9:7; 1 Samuel 9:8; 1 Samuel 9:10; 1 Samuel 9:22; 1 Samuel 9:27; 1 Samuel 10:14; 1 Samuel 14:1; 1 Samuel 14:6; 1 Samuel 16:11; 1 Samuel 16:18; 1 Samuel 17:42; 1 Samuel 17:55; 1 Samuel 17:58; 1 Samuel 20:21; 1 Samuel 20:35; 1 Samuel 20:36; 1 Samuel 20:37; 1 Samuel 20:38; 1 Samuel 20:39; 1 Samuel 20:40; 1 Samuel 20:41; 1 Samuel 21:2; 1 Samuel 21:4; 1 Samuel 21:5; 1 Samuel 25:5; 1 Samuel 25:8; 1 Samuel 25:9; 1 Samuel 25:12; 1 Samuel 25:14; 1 Samuel 25:19; 1 Samuel 25:25; 1 Samuel 25:27; 1 Samuel 26:22; 1 Samuel 30:13; 1 Samuel 30:17

1 Samuel 1:22

22 Hannah did not go. She said to her husband, “After the boy is weaned, I will take him and present him before the LORD, and he will live there always.”

1 Samuel 1:24

24 After he was weaned, she took the boy with her, young as he was, along with a three-year-old bull, an ephah of flour and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD at Shiloh.

1 Samuel 1:25

25 When the bull had been sacrificed, they brought the boy to Eli,

1 Samuel 1:27

27 I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.

1 Samuel 2:11

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

1 Samuel 2:13

13 Now it was the practice of the priests that, whenever any of the people offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fork in his hand while the meat was being boiled

1 Samuel 2:15

15 But even before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the person who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast; he won’t accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”

1 Samuel 2:17

17 This sin of the young men was very great in the LORD’s sight, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.

1 Samuel 2:18

18 But Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.

1 Samuel 2:21

21 And the LORD was gracious to Hannah; she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.

1 Samuel 2:26

26 And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with people.

1 Samuel 3:1

1 The boy Samuel ministered before the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; there were not many visions.

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 4:21

21 She named the boy Ichabod, saying, “The Glory has departed from Israel”—because of the capture of the ark of God and the deaths of her father-in-law and her husband.

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 9:7

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 9:8

8 The servant answered him again. “Look,” he said, “I have a quarter of a shekel of silver. I will give it to the man of God so that he will tell us what way to take.”

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 9:22

22 Then Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and seated them at the head of those who were invited—about thirty in number.

1 Samuel 9:27

27 As they were going down to the edge of the town, Samuel said to Saul, “Tell the servant to go on ahead of us”—and the servant did so—“but you stay here for a while, so that I may give you a message from God.”

1 Samuel 10:14

14 Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where have you been?” “Looking for the donkeys,” he said. “But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”

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 16:11

11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

1 Samuel 16:18

18 One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him.”

1 Samuel 17:42

42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.

1 Samuel 17:55

55 As Saul watched David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “As surely as you live, Your Majesty, I don’t know.”

1 Samuel 17:58

58 “Whose son are you, young man?” Saul asked him. David said, “I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.”

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 20:35

35 In the morning Jonathan went out to the field for his meeting with David. He had a small boy with him,

1 Samuel 20:36

36 and he said to the boy, “Run and find the arrows I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

1 Samuel 20:37

37 When the boy came to the place where Jonathan’s arrow had fallen, Jonathan called out after him, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”

1 Samuel 20:38

38 Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don’t stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.

1 Samuel 20:39

39 (The boy knew nothing about all this; only Jonathan and David knew.)

1 Samuel 20:40

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

1 Samuel 20:41

41 After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most.

1 Samuel 21:2

2 David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place.

1 Samuel 21:4

4 But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.”

1 Samuel 21:5

5 David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!”

1 Samuel 25:5

5 So he sent ten young men and said to them, “Go up to Nabal at Carmel and greet him in my name.

1 Samuel 25:8

8 Ask your own servants and they will tell you. Therefore be favorable toward my men, since we come at a festive time. Please give your servants and your son David whatever you can find for them.’ ”

1 Samuel 25:9

9 When David’s men arrived, they gave Nabal this message in David’s name. Then they waited.

1 Samuel 25:12

12 David’s men turned around and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word.

1 Samuel 25:14

14 One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings, but he hurled insults at them.

1 Samuel 25:19

19 Then she told her servants, “Go on ahead; I’ll follow you.” But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

1 Samuel 25:25

25 Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent.

1 Samuel 25:27

27 And let this gift, which your servant has brought to my lord, be given to the men who follow you.

1 Samuel 26:22

22 “Here is the king’s spear,” David answered. “Let one of your young men come over and get it.

1 Samuel 30:13

13 David asked him, “Who do you belong to? Where do you come from?” He said, “I am an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me when I became ill three days ago.

1 Samuel 30:17

17 David fought them from dusk until the evening of the next day, and none of them got away, except four hundred young men who rode off on camels and fled.
