1 Samuel 1:3; 1 Samuel 1:4; 1 Samuel 1:11; 1 Samuel 1:20; 1 Samuel 1:21; 1 Samuel 1:28; 1 Samuel 2:19; 1 Samuel 2:31; 1 Samuel 2:34; 1 Samuel 3:1; 1 Samuel 3:2; 1 Samuel 3:12; 1 Samuel 4:3; 1 Samuel 4:12; 1 Samuel 4:16; 1 Samuel 6:15; 1 Samuel 6:18; 1 Samuel 7:2; 1 Samuel 7:6; 1 Samuel 7:10; 1 Samuel 7:13; 1 Samuel 7:15; 1 Samuel 8:8; 1 Samuel 8:18; 1 Samuel 9:9; 1 Samuel 9:12; 1 Samuel 9:15; 1 Samuel 9:19; 1 Samuel 9:20; 1 Samuel 10:2; 1 Samuel 10:8; 1 Samuel 10:19; 1 Samuel 11:3; 1 Samuel 11:11; 1 Samuel 11:13; 1 Samuel 12:5; 1 Samuel 12:17; 1 Samuel 12:18; 1 Samuel 13:8; 1 Samuel 13:11; 1 Samuel 13:22; 1 Samuel 14:1; 1 Samuel 14:18; 1 Samuel 14:23; 1 Samuel 14:24; 1 Samuel 14:28; 1 Samuel 14:30; 1 Samuel 14:31; 1 Samuel 14:45; 1 Samuel 14:52; 1 Samuel 15:28; 1 Samuel 15:35; 1 Samuel 16:13; 1 Samuel 17:10; 1 Samuel 17:12; 1 Samuel 17:46; 1 Samuel 18:2; 1 Samuel 18:9; 1 Samuel 18:10; 1 Samuel 18:21; 1 Samuel 18:26; 1 Samuel 19:24; 1 Samuel 20:6; 1 Samuel 20:19; 1 Samuel 20:26; 1 Samuel 20:31; 1 Samuel 20:34; 1 Samuel 21:5; 1 Samuel 21:6; 1 Samuel 21:7; 1 Samuel 21:10; 1 Samuel 22:4; 1 Samuel 22:15; 1 Samuel 22:18; 1 Samuel 22:22; 1 Samuel 23:14; 1 Samuel 24:4; 1 Samuel 24:10; 1 Samuel 24:18; 1 Samuel 25:7; 1 Samuel 25:8; 1 Samuel 25:10; 1 Samuel 25:15; 1 Samuel 25:16; 1 Samuel 25:32; 1 Samuel 25:33; 1 Samuel 25:38; 1 Samuel 26:8; 1 Samuel 26:10; 1 Samuel 26:19; 1 Samuel 26:21; 1 Samuel 26:23; 1 Samuel 26:24; 1 Samuel 27:1; 1 Samuel 27:6; 1 Samuel 27:7; 1 Samuel 27:10; 1 Samuel 27:11; 1 Samuel 28:1; 1 Samuel 28:20; 1 Samuel 29:3; 1 Samuel 29:6; 1 Samuel 29:8; 1 Samuel 30:1; 1 Samuel 30:12; 1 Samuel 30:13; 1 Samuel 30:25; 1 Samuel 31:6

1 Samuel 1:3

3 Year after year this man went up from his town to worship and sacrifice to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD.

1 Samuel 1:4

4 Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.

1 Samuel 1:11

11 And she made a vow, saying, “LORD Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the LORD for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.”

1 Samuel 1:20

20 So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the LORD for him.”

1 Samuel 1:21

21 When her husband Elkanah went up with all his family to offer the annual sacrifice to the LORD and to fulfill his vow,

1 Samuel 1:28

28 So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.

1 Samuel 2:19

19 Each year his mother made him a little robe and took it to him when she went up with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.

1 Samuel 2:31

31 The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your priestly house, so that no one in it will reach old age,

1 Samuel 2:34

34 “ ‘And what happens to your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, will be a sign to you—they will both die on the same day.

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 3:2

2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.

1 Samuel 3:12

12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end.

1 Samuel 4:3

3 When the soldiers returned to camp, the elders of Israel asked, “Why did the LORD bring defeat on us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant from Shiloh, so that he may go with us and save us from the hand of our enemies.”

1 Samuel 4:12

12 That same day a Benjamite ran from the battle line and went to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dust on his head.

1 Samuel 4:16

16 He told Eli, “I have just come from the battle line; I fled from it this very day.” Eli asked, “What happened, my son?”

1 Samuel 6:15

15 The Levites took down the ark of the LORD, together with the chest containing the gold objects, and placed them on the large rock. On that day the people of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the LORD.

1 Samuel 6:18

18 And the number of the gold rats was according to the number of Philistine towns belonging to the five rulers—the fortified towns with their country villages. The large rock on which the Levites set the ark of the LORD is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

1 Samuel 7:2

2 The ark remained at Kiriath Jearim a long time—twenty years in all. Then all the people of Israel turned back to the LORD.

1 Samuel 7:6

6 When they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted and there they confessed, “We have sinned against the LORD.” Now Samuel was serving as leader of Israel at Mizpah.

1 Samuel 7:10

10 While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the LORD thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites.

1 Samuel 7:13

13 So the Philistines were subdued and they stopped invading Israel’s territory. Throughout Samuel’s lifetime, the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines.

1 Samuel 7:15

15 Samuel continued as Israel’s leader all the days of his life.

1 Samuel 8:8

8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you.

1 Samuel 8:18

18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you in that day.”

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 9:12

12 “He is,” they answered. “He’s ahead of you. Hurry now; he has just come to our town today, for the people have a sacrifice at the high place.

1 Samuel 9:15

15 Now the day before Saul came, the LORD had revealed this to Samuel:

1 Samuel 9:19

19 “I am the seer,” Samuel replied. “Go up ahead of me to the high place, for today you are to eat with me, and in the morning I will send you on your way and will tell you all that is in your heart.

1 Samuel 9:20

20 As for the donkeys you lost three days ago, do not worry about them; they have been found. And to whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and your whole family line?”

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 10:8

8 “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do.”

1 Samuel 10:19

19 But you have now rejected your God, who saves you out of all your disasters and calamities. And you have said, ‘No, appoint a king over us.’ So now present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”

1 Samuel 11:3

3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days so we can send messengers throughout Israel; if no one comes to rescue us, we will surrender to you.”

1 Samuel 11:11

11 The next day Saul separated his men into three divisions; during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

1 Samuel 11:13

13 But Saul said, “No one will be put to death today, for this day the LORD has rescued Israel.”

1 Samuel 12:5

5 Samuel said to them, “The LORD is witness against you, and also his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” “He is witness,” they said.

1 Samuel 12:17

17 Is it not wheat harvest now? I will call on the LORD to send thunder and rain. And you will realize what an evil thing you did in the eyes of the LORD when you asked for a king.”

1 Samuel 12:18

18 Then Samuel called on the LORD, and that same day the LORD sent thunder and rain. So all the people stood in awe of the LORD and of Samuel.

1 Samuel 13:8

8 He waited seven days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter.

1 Samuel 13:11

11 “What have you done?” asked Samuel. Saul replied, “When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash,

1 Samuel 13:22

22 So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

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 14:18

18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God.” (At that time it was with the Israelites.)

1 Samuel 14:23

23 So on that day the LORD saved Israel, and the battle moved on beyond Beth Aven.

1 Samuel 14:24

24 Now the Israelites were in distress that day, because Saul had bound the people under an oath, saying, “Cursed be anyone who eats food before evening comes, before I have avenged myself on my enemies!” So none of the troops tasted food.

1 Samuel 14:28

28 Then one of the soldiers told him, “Your father bound the army under a strict oath, saying, ‘Cursed be anyone who eats food today!’ That is why the men are faint.”

1 Samuel 14:30

30 How much better it would have been if the men had eaten today some of the plunder they took from their enemies. Would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been even greater?”

1 Samuel 14:31

31 That day, after the Israelites had struck down the Philistines from Mikmash to Aijalon, they were exhausted.

1 Samuel 14:45

45 But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for he did this today with God’s help.” So the men rescued Jonathan, and he was not put to death.

1 Samuel 14:52

52 All the days of Saul there was bitter war with the Philistines, and whenever Saul saw a mighty or brave man, he took him into his service.

1 Samuel 15:28

28 Samuel said to him, “The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today and has given it to one of your neighbors—to one better than you.

1 Samuel 15:35

35 Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the LORD regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.

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 17:10

10 Then the Philistine said, “This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other.”

1 Samuel 17:12

12 Now David was the son of an Ephrathite named Jesse, who was from Bethlehem in Judah. Jesse had eight sons, and in Saul’s time he was very old.

1 Samuel 17:46

46 This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

1 Samuel 18:2

2 From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family.

1 Samuel 18:9

9 And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.

1 Samuel 18:10

10 The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand

1 Samuel 18:21

21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”

1 Samuel 18:26

26 When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed,

1 Samuel 19:24

24 He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”

1 Samuel 20:6

6 If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.’

1 Samuel 20:19

19 The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel.

1 Samuel 20:26

26 Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, “Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.”

1 Samuel 20:31

31 As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”

1 Samuel 20:34

34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David.

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 21:6

6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the LORD and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.

1 Samuel 21:7

7 Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the LORD; he was Doeg the Edomite, Saul’s chief shepherd.

1 Samuel 21:10

10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.

1 Samuel 22:4

4 So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.

1 Samuel 22:15

15 Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father’s family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”

1 Samuel 22:18

18 The king then ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.

1 Samuel 22:22

22 Then David said to Abiathar, “That day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, I knew he would be sure to tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of your whole family.

1 Samuel 23:14

14 David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hills of the Desert of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God did not give David into his hands.

1 Samuel 24:4

4 The men said, “This is the day the LORD spoke of when he said to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.’ ” Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

1 Samuel 24:10

10 This day you have seen with your own eyes how the LORD delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the LORD’s anointed.’

1 Samuel 24:18

18 You have just now told me about the good you did to me; the LORD delivered me into your hands, but you did not kill me.

1 Samuel 25:7

7 “ ‘Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat them, and the whole time they were at Carmel nothing of theirs was missing.

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 25:10

10 Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days.

1 Samuel 25:15

15 Yet these men were very good to us. They did not mistreat us, and the whole time we were out in the fields near them nothing was missing.

1 Samuel 25:16

16 Night and day they were a wall around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.

1 Samuel 25:32

32 David said to Abigail, “Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me.

1 Samuel 25:33

33 May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands.

1 Samuel 25:38

38 About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal and he died.

1 Samuel 26:8

8 Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won’t strike him twice.”

1 Samuel 26:10

10 As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “the LORD himself will strike him, or his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish.

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 26:21

21 Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Come back, David my son. Because you considered my life precious today, I will not try to harm you again. Surely I have acted like a fool and have been terribly wrong.”

1 Samuel 26:23

23 The LORD rewards everyone for their righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed.

1 Samuel 26:24

24 As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and deliver me from all trouble.”

1 Samuel 27:1

1 But David thought to himself, “One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand.”

1 Samuel 27:6

6 So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.

1 Samuel 27:7

7 David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months.

1 Samuel 27:10

10 When Achish asked, “Where did you go raiding today?” David would say, “Against the Negev of Judah” or “Against the Negev of Jerahmeel” or “Against the Negev of the Kenites.”

1 Samuel 27:11

11 He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, “They might inform on us and say, ‘This is what David did.’ ” And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory.

1 Samuel 28:1

1 In those days the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, “You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army.”

1 Samuel 28:20

20 Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel’s words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and all that night.

1 Samuel 29:3

3 The commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, who was an officer of Saul king of Israel? He has already been with me for over a year, and from the day he left Saul until now, I have found no fault in him.”

1 Samuel 29:6

6 So Achish called David and said to him, “As surely as the LORD lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers don’t approve of you.

1 Samuel 29:8

8 “But what have I done?” asked David. “What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

1 Samuel 30:1

1 David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag and burned it,

1 Samuel 30:12

12 part of a cake of pressed figs and two cakes of raisins. He ate and was revived, for he had not eaten any food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.

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 30:25

25 David made this a statute and ordinance for Israel from that day to this.

1 Samuel 31:6

6 So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day.
