Saul wird von Samuel zum König gesalbt und dem Volk vorgestellt
10 Da nahm Samuel die Ölflasche und goss sie auf sein Haupt und küsste ihn und sprach: »Hat dich nicht der Herr zum Fürsten über sein Erbteil gesalbt?
2 Wenn du heute von mir weggehst, wirst du zwei Männer finden beim Grab Rahels, im Gebiet von Benjamin, bei Zelzach; die werden zu dir sagen: Die Eselinnen sind gefunden, die du suchen gegangen bist; und siehe, dein Vater hat die Suche nach den Eselinnen aufgegeben und macht sich Sorgen um euch und spricht: Was soll ich wegen meines Sohnes tun?
3 Und wenn du von dort weitergehst, wirst du zur Terebinthe Tabor kommen; dort werden dich drei Männer antreffen, die zu Gott nach Bethel hinaufgehen; einer trägt drei Böcklein, der andere drei Laibe Brot, der dritte einen Schlauch mit Wein.
4 Und sie werden dich mit dem Friedensgruß begrüßen[a] und dir zwei Brote geben, die sollst du aus ihrer Hand annehmen.
5 Danach wirst du auf den Hügel Gottes kommen, wo der Posten der Philister steht; sobald du aber dort in die Stadt kommst, wird dir eine Schar Propheten begegnen, die von der Höhe herabkommen, und vor ihnen her Psalter und Handpauken und Flöten und Harfen; und sie werden weissagen.
6 Da wird der Geist des Herrn über dich kommen, sodass du mit ihnen weissagst, und du wirst in einen anderen Mann verwandelt werden.
7 Wenn dann diese Zeichen für dich eingetroffen sind, so tue, was deine Hand vorfindet, denn Gott ist mit dir!
8 Du sollst aber vor mir nach Gilgal hinabgehen, und siehe, dort will ich zu dir hinabkommen, um Brandopfer zu opfern und Friedensopfer zu schlachten. Sieben Tage lang sollst du warten, bis ich zu dir komme und dir zeige, was du tun sollst!«
9 Und es geschah, als er sich umwandte, um von Samuel wegzugehen, da verwandelte Gott sein Herz, und alle diese Zeichen trafen an jenem Tag ein.
10 Denn als sie dort an den Hügel kamen, siehe, da begegnete ihm eine Schar Propheten, und der Geist Gottes kam über ihn, sodass er in ihrer Mitte weissagte.
11 Als aber alle die, welche ihn zuvor gekannt hatten, sahen, dass er mit den Propheten weissagte, sprach das Volk untereinander: Was ist denn mit dem Sohn des Kis geschehen? Ist Saul auch unter den Propheten?
12 Da antwortete ein Mann von dort und sprach: Und wer ist ihr Vater? Daher kommt das Sprichwort: »Ist Saul auch unter den Propheten?«
13 Und als er aufgehört hatte zu weissagen, kam er auf die Höhe.
14 Und Sauls Onkel sprach zu ihm und seinem Burschen: Wo seid ihr hingegangen? Sie antworteten: Die Eselinnen zu suchen; und als wir sahen, dass sie nicht da waren, gingen wir zu Samuel!
15 Da sprach Sauls Onkel: Teile mir doch mit, was euch Samuel sagte!
16 Saul antwortete seinem Onkel: Er sagte uns, dass die Eselinnen gefunden seien! Was aber Samuel von dem Königtum gesagt hatte, das verriet er ihm nicht.
17 Samuel aber berief das Volk zum Herrn nach Mizpa.
18 Und er sprach zu den Kindern Israels: So spricht der Herr, der Gott Israels: Ich habe Israel aus Ägypten geführt und euch aus der Hand der Ägypter errettet und aus der Hand aller Königreiche, die euch bedrängten.
19 Ihr aber habt heute euren Gott verworfen, der euch aus all eurem Elend und aus euren Nöten errettet hat, und habt zu ihm gesagt: Setze einen König über uns! Wohlan, so tretet nun vor den Herrn nach euren Stämmen und nach euren Tausendschaften!
20 Und Samuel ließ alle Stämme Israels herzutreten, und der Stamm Benjamin wurde [durchs Los] getroffen.
21 Und als er den Stamm Benjamin nach seinen Familien herzutreten ließ, wurde das Geschlecht Matris [durchs Los] getroffen, und dann wurde Saul getroffen, der Sohn des Kis. Und sie suchten ihn, aber er wurde nicht gefunden.
22 Da fragten sie den Herrn weiter: Kommt der Mann noch hierher? Der Herr antwortete: Siehe, er hat sich bei den Geräten versteckt!
23 Da liefen sie hin und holten ihn von dort. Und als er unter das Volk trat, da überragte er alles Volk um Haupteslänge.
24 Und Samuel sprach zu dem ganzen Volk: Da seht ihr den, welchen der Herr erwählt hat, denn ihm ist keiner gleich unter dem ganzen Volk! Da jauchzte das ganze Volk, und sie sprachen: Es lebe der König!
25 Samuel aber verkündigte dem Volk das Recht des Königtums und schrieb es in ein Buch und legte es vor dem Herrn nieder.[b] Danach entließ Samuel alles Volk, jeden in sein Haus.
26 Auch Saul ging zu seinem Haus nach Gibea, und mit ihm gingen die Tapferen, deren Herz Gott angerührt hatte.
27 Etliche Söhne Belials[c] aber sprachen: Wie sollte der uns retten? Und sie verachteten ihn und brachten ihm keine Geschenke. Doch er tat, als hörte er’s nicht.
1 Samuel 10
New International Version
1 Samuel 10
New International Version
10 Then Samuel took a flask(A) of olive oil and poured it on Saul’s head and kissed him, saying, “Has not the Lord anointed(B) you ruler over his inheritance?[a](C) 2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men near Rachel’s tomb,(D) at Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys(E) you set out to look for have been found. And now your father has stopped thinking about them and is worried(F) about you. He is asking, “What shall I do about my son?”’
3 “Then you will go on from there until you reach the great tree of Tabor. Three men going up to worship God at Bethel(G) will meet you there. One will be carrying three young goats, another three loaves of bread, and another a skin of wine. 4 They will greet you and offer you two loaves of bread,(H) which you will accept from them.
5 “After that you will go to Gibeah(I) of God, where there is a Philistine outpost.(J) As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets(K) coming down from the high place(L) with lyres, timbrels,(M) pipes(N) and harps(O) being played before them, and they will be prophesying.(P) 6 The Spirit(Q) of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed(R) into a different person. 7 Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever(S) your hand(T) finds to do, for God is with(U) you.
8 “Go down ahead of me to Gilgal.(V) I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven(W) days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do.”
Saul Made King
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed(X) Saul’s heart, and all these signs(Y) were fulfilled(Z) that day. 10 When he and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit(AA) of God came powerfully upon him, and he joined in their prophesying.(AB) 11 When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, “What is this(AC) that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”(AD)
12 A man who lived there answered, “And who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”(AE) 13 After Saul stopped prophesying,(AF) he went to the high place.
14 Now Saul’s uncle(AG) asked him and his servant, “Where have you been?”
“Looking for the donkeys,(AH)” he said. “But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”
15 Saul’s uncle said, “Tell me what Samuel said to you.”
16 Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys(AI) had been found.” But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17 Samuel summoned the people of Israel to the Lord at Mizpah(AJ) 18 and said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I delivered you from the power of Egypt and all the kingdoms that oppressed(AK) you.’ 19 But you have now rejected(AL) your God, who saves(AM) you out of all your disasters and calamities. And you have said, ‘No, appoint a king(AN) over us.’(AO) So now present(AP) yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and clans.”
20 When Samuel had all Israel come forward by tribes, the tribe of Benjamin was taken by lot. 21 Then he brought forward the tribe of Benjamin, clan by clan, and Matri’s clan was taken.(AQ) Finally Saul son of Kish was taken. But when they looked for him, he was not to be found. 22 So they inquired(AR) further of the Lord, “Has the man come here yet?”
And the Lord said, “Yes, he has hidden himself among the supplies.”
23 They ran and brought him out, and as he stood among the people he was a head taller(AS) than any of the others. 24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the man the Lord has chosen?(AT) There is no one like(AU) him among all the people.”
Then the people shouted, “Long live(AV) the king!”
25 Samuel explained(AW) to the people the rights and duties(AX) of kingship.(AY) He wrote them down on a scroll and deposited it before the Lord. Then Samuel dismissed the people to go to their own homes.
26 Saul also went to his home in Gibeah,(AZ) accompanied by valiant men(BA) whose hearts God had touched. 27 But some scoundrels(BB) said, “How can this fellow save us?” They despised him and brought him no gifts.(BC) But Saul kept silent.

10 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
8 And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.
9 And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
10 And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
14 And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
15 And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
17 And Samuel called the people together unto the Lord to Mizpeh;
18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
19 And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands.
20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
22 Therefore they enquired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered, Behold he hath hid himself among the stuff.
23 And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
24 And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
25 Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
26 And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
27 But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought no presents. But he held his peace.

10 Samuel tog sin oljeflaska och göt olja på Sauls huvud, kysste honom och sade: "Se, Herren har smort dig till furste över sin arvedel. 2 När du går ifrån mig i dag skall du träffa två män vid Rakels grav, i Selsa på Benjamins område. De kommer att säga till dig: Åsninnorna som du gick i väg för att söka har kommit till rätta. Din far tänker därför inte mer på åsninnorna, men han är orolig för er skull och säger: Vad skall jag göra för min son? 3 När du har gått vidare därifrån och kommit till Tabors terebint, skall du där möta tre män på väg upp till Gud i Betel. En av dem bär tre killingar, en bär tre brödkakor och en bär en vinlägel. 4 De skall hälsa vänligt på dig och ge dig två bröd, och du skall ta emot vad de ger. 5 Sedan kommer du till Guds Gibea, där filisteernas postering är. Och när du kommer in i staden, träffar du på en skara profeter, som är på väg ner från offerhöjden med psaltare, pukor, flöjt och harpa framför sig, medan de själva profeterar. 6 Herrens Ande skall komma över dig, och du skall profetera med dem och bli förvandlad till en annan människa. 7 När du ser att dessa tecken inträffar, gör då vad du finner lämpligt att göra, ty Gud är med dig. 8 Och du skall gå före mig till Gilgal. Se, jag skall komma ner till dig för att offra brännoffer och gemenskapsoffer. Du skall vänta i sju dagar, till dess jag kommer till dig och meddelar vad du skall göra."
9 När Saul vände sig om för att gå ifrån Samuel, förvandlade Gud hans hjärta. Alla dessa tecken inträffade samma dag. 10 När de kom till Gibea kom en skara profeter emot honom. Då föll Guds Ande över honom, och han profeterade mitt ibland dem. 11 Alla som förut kände Saul fick se att han profeterade tillsammans med profeterna, och de sade till varandra: "Vad har hänt med Kish son? Är också Saul bland profeterna?" 12 Men en av männen därifrån svarade: "Vem är deras far?" Härav uppkom ordspråket: "Är också Saul bland profeterna?" 13 Men när han hade slutat att profetera, gick han upp på offerhöjden.
14 Då frågade Sauls farbror honom och hans tjänare: "Vart gick ni?" "För att leta efter åsninnorna", svarade han. "Men när vi såg att vi inte kunde hitta dem någonstans, gick vi till Samuel." 15 Då sade Sauls farbror: "Berätta för mig vad Samuel sade till er." 16 Saul svarade sin farbror: "Han talade om för oss att åsninnorna hade kommit till rätta." Men vad Samuel hade sagt om kungadömet berättade han inte för honom.
Kungavalet i Mispa
17 Samuel kallade samman folket till Herren i Mispa. 18 Han sade till Israels barn: "Så säger Herren, Israels Gud: Jag förde Israel upp ur Egypten, och jag befriade er från egyptierna och från alla andra kungadömen som förtryckte er. 19 Men i dag har ni förkastat er Gud, som räddade er ur alla era olyckor och svårigheter, och ni har sagt till honom: Sätt en kung över oss. Så träd nu fram inför Herren efter era stammar och era släkter." 20 Därefter lät Samuel alla Israels stammar gå fram. Då träffades Benjamins stam av lotten. 21 När han sedan lät släkt efter släkt i Benjamins stam gå fram, träffades Matris släkt av lotten. Därpå träffades Saul, Kish son, av lotten, men när de sökte efter honom, kunde de inte finna honom. 22 Och de frågade Herren än en gång: "Har mannen kommit hit än?" Herren svarade: "Se, han gömmer sig bland trossen." 23 De sprang dit och hämtade honom, och när han stod bland folket var han huvudet högre än alla andra. 24 Samuel sade till allt folket: "Här ser ni den som Herren har utvalt. Det finns ingen som han bland allt folket." Då jublade alla och ropade: "Leve konungen!"
25 Samuel förklarade för folket kungadömets rättigheter och skrev upp dem i en bok och lade den inför Herren. Sedan lät Samuel allt folket gå hem, var och en till sitt. 26 Också Saul begav sig hem, till Gibea, och en skara stridsmän vilkas hjärtan Gud hade rört följde honom. 27 Men några onda män sade: "Hur skall den där kunna rädda oss?" De föraktade honom och bar inte fram några gåvor till honom. Men han låtsades som om han inte märkte det.

Samuel Anoints Saul
10 Then (A)Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, (B)and kissed him and said: “Is it not because (C)the Lord has anointed you commander over (D)His [a]inheritance? 2 When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by (E)Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin (F)at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ‘The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about (G)you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?” ’ 3 Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up (H)to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine. 4 And they will [b]greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you shall receive from their hands. 5 After that you shall come to the hill of God (I)where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down (J)from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; (K)and they will be prophesying. 6 Then (L)the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and (M)you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. 7 And let it be, when these (N)signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for (O)God is with you. 8 You shall go down before me (P)to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. (Q)Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do.”
9 So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God [c]gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day. 10 (R)When they came there to the hill, there was (S)a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 11 And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, “What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? (T)Is Saul also among the prophets?” 12 Then a man from there answered and said, “But (U)who is their father?” Therefore it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?” 13 And when he had finished prophesying, he went to the high place.
14 Then Saul’s (V)uncle said to him and his servant, “Where did you go?”
So he said, “To look for the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel.”
15 And Saul’s uncle said, “Tell me, please, what Samuel said to you.”
16 So Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been (W)found.” But about the matter of the kingdom, he did not tell him what Samuel had said.
Saul Proclaimed King
17 Then Samuel called the people together (X)to the Lord (Y)at Mizpah, 18 and said to the children of Israel, (Z)“Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all kingdoms and from those who oppressed you.’ 19 (AA)But you have today rejected your God, who Himself saved you from all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us!’ Now therefore, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your [d]clans.”
20 And when Samuel had (AB)caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen. 21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found. 22 Therefore they (AC)inquired of the Lord further, “Has the man come here yet?”
And the Lord answered, “There he is, hidden among the equipment.”
23 So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, (AD)he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward. 24 And Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him (AE)whom the Lord has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?”
So all the people shouted and said, (AF)“Long[e] live the king!”
25 Then Samuel explained to the people (AG)the behavior of royalty, and wrote it in a book and laid it up before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house. 26 And Saul also went home (AH)to Gibeah; and valiant men went with him, whose hearts God had touched. 27 (AI)But some (AJ)rebels said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him, (AK)and brought him no presents. But he [f]held his peace.
