1 Samuel 10

The Message Bible MSG

1 Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul's head, and kissed him. He said, "Do you see what this means? God has anointed you prince over his people.

2 After you leave me today, as you get closer to your home country of Benjamin, you'll meet two men near Rachel's Tomb. They'll say, 'The donkeys you went to look for are found. Your father has forgotten about the donkeys and is worried about you, wringing his hands - quite beside himself!'

3 "Leaving there, you'll arrive at the Oak of Tabor. There you'll meet three men going up to worship God at Bethel. One will be carrying three young goats, another carrying three sacks of bread, and the third a jug of wine.

4 They'll say, 'Hello, how are you?' and offer you two loaves of bread, which you will accept.

5 "Next, you'll come to Gibeah of God, where there's a Philistine garrison. As you approach the town, you'll run into a bunch of prophets coming down from the shrine, playing harps and tambourines, flutes and drums. And they'll be prophesying.

6 Before you know it, the Spirit of God will come on you and you'll be prophesying right along with them. And you'll be transformed. You'll be a new person!

7 "When these confirming signs are accomplished, you'll know that you're ready: Whatever job you're given to do, do it. God is with you!

8 "Now, go down to Gilgal and I will follow. I'll come down and join you in worship by sacrificing burnt offerings and peace offerings. Wait seven days. Then I'll come and tell you what to do next."

9 Saul turned and left Samuel. At that very moment God transformed him - made him a new person! And all the confirming signs took place the same day.

10 When Saul and his party got to Gibeah, there were the prophets, right in front of them! Before he knew it, the Spirit of God came on Saul and he was prophesying right along with them.

11 When those who had previously known Saul saw him prophesying with the prophets, they were totally surprised. "What's going on here? What's come over the son of Kish? How on earth did Saul get to be a prophet?"

12 One man spoke up and said, "Who started this? Where did these people ever come from?" That's how the saying got started, "Saul among the prophets! Who would have guessed?!"

13 When Saul was done prophesying, he returned home.

14 His uncle asked him and his servant, "So where have you two been all this time?" "Out looking for the donkeys. We looked and looked and couldn't find them. And then we found Samuel!"

15 "So," said Saul's uncle, "what did Samuel tell you?"

16 Saul said, "He told us not to worry - the donkeys had been found." But Saul didn't breathe a word to his uncle of what Samuel said about the king business.

17 Samuel called the people to assemble before God at Mizpah.

18 He addressed the children of Israel, "This is God's personal message to you:

19 And now you want nothing to do with your God, the very God who has a history of getting you out of troubles of all sorts. "And now you say, 'No! We want a king; give us a king!' "Well, if that's what you want, that's what you'll get! Present yourselves formally before God, ranked in tribes and families."

20 After Samuel got all the tribes of Israel lined up, the Benjamin tribe was picked.

21 Then he lined up the Benjamin tribe in family groups, and the family of Matri was picked. The family of Matri took its place in the lineup, and the name Saul, son of Kish, was picked. But when they went looking for him, he was nowhere to be found.

22 Samuel went back to God: "Is he anywhere around?" God said, "Yes, he's right over there - hidden in that pile of baggage."

23 They ran and got him. He took his place before everyone, standing tall - head and shoulders above them.

24 Samuel then addressed the people, "Take a good look at whom God has chosen: the best! No one like him in the whole country!" Then a great shout went up from the people: "Long live the king!"

25 Samuel went on to instruct the people in the rules and regulations involved in a kingdom, wrote it all down in a book, and placed it before God. Then Samuel sent everyone home.

26 Saul also went home to Gibeah, and with him some true and brave men whom God moved to join him.

27 But the riff-raff went off muttering, "'Deliverer'? Don't make me laugh!" They held him in contempt and refused to congratulate him. But Saul paid them no mind. Saul Is Crowned King Nahash, king of the Ammonites, was brutalizing the tribes of Gad and Reuben, gouging out their right eyes and intimidating anyone who would come to Israel's help. There were very few Israelites living on the east side of the Jordan River who had not had their right eyes gouged out by Nahash. But seven thousand men had escaped from the Ammonites and were now living safely in Jabesh.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 tulit autem Samuhel lenticulam olei et effudit super caput eius et deosculatus eum ait ecce unxit te Dominus super hereditatem suam in principem

2 cum abieris hodie a me invenies duos viros iuxta sepulchrum Rachel in finibus Beniamin in meridie dicentque tibi inventae sunt asinae ad quas ieras perquirendas et intermissis pater tuus asinis sollicitus est pro vobis et dicit quid faciam de filio meo

3 cumque abieris inde et ultra transieris et veneris ad quercum Thabor invenient te ibi tres viri ascendentes ad Deum in Bethel unus portans tres hedos et alius tres tortas panis et alius portans lagoenam vini

4 cumque te salutaverint dabunt tibi duos panes et accipies de manu eorum

5 post haec venies in collem Domini ubi est statio Philisthinorum et cum ingressus fueris ibi urbem obviam habebis gregem prophetarum descendentium de excelso et ante eos psalterium et tympanum et tibiam et citharam ipsosque prophetantes

6 et insiliet in te spiritus Domini et prophetabis cum eis et mutaberis in virum alium

7 quando ergo evenerint signa haec omnia tibi fac quaecumque invenerit manus tua quia Dominus tecum est

8 et descendes ante me in Galgala ego quippe descendam ad te ut offeras oblationem et immoles victimas pacificas septem diebus expectabis donec veniam ad te et ostendam tibi quae facias

9 itaque cum avertisset umerum suum ut abiret a Samuhele inmutavit ei Deus cor aliud et venerunt omnia signa haec in die illa

10 veneruntque ad praedictum collem et ecce cuneus prophetarum obvius ei et insilivit super eum spiritus Dei et prophetavit in medio eorum

11 videntes autem omnes qui noverant eum heri et nudius tertius quod esset cum prophetis et prophetaret dixerunt ad invicem quaenam res accidit filio Cis num et Saul in prophetis

12 responditque alius ad alterum dicens et quis pater eorum propterea versum est in proverbium num et Saul inter prophetas

13 cessavit autem prophetare et venit ad excelsum

14 dixitque patruus Saul ad eum et ad puerum eius quo abistis qui responderunt quaerere asinas quas cum non repperissemus venimus ad Samuhelem

15 et dixit ei patruus suus indica mihi quid dixerit tibi Samuhel

16 et ait Saul ad patruum suum indicavit nobis quia inventae essent asinae de sermone autem regni non indicavit ei quem locutus illi fuerat Samuhel

17 et convocavit Samuhel populum ad Dominum in Maspha

18 et ait ad filios Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ego eduxi Israhel de Aegypto et erui vos de manu Aegyptiorum et de manu omnium regum qui adfligebant vos

19 vos autem hodie proiecistis Deum vestrum qui solus salvavit vos de universis malis et tribulationibus vestris et dixistis nequaquam sed regem constitue super nos nunc ergo state coram Domino per tribus vestras et per familias

20 et adplicuit Samuhel omnes tribus Israhel et cecidit sors tribus Beniamin

21 et adplicuit tribum Beniamin et cognationes eius et cecidit cognatio Metri et pervenit usque ad Saul filium Cis quaesierunt ergo eum et non est inventus

22 et consuluerunt post haec Dominum utrumnam venturus esset illuc responditque Dominus ecce absconditus est domi

23 cucurrerunt itaque et tulerunt eum inde stetitque in medio populi et altior fuit universo populo ab umero et sursum

24 et ait Samuhel ad omnem populum certe videtis quem elegit Dominus quoniam non sit similis ei in omni populo et clamavit cunctus populus et ait vivat rex

25 locutus est autem Samuhel ad populum legem regni et scripsit in libro et reposuit coram Domino et dimisit Samuhel omnem populum singulos in domum suam

26 sed et Saul abiit in domum suam in Gabaath et abiit cum eo pars exercitus quorum tetigerat Deus corda

27 filii vero Belial dixerunt num salvare nos poterit iste et despexerunt eum et non adtulerunt ei munera ille vero dissimulabat se audire
