1 Samuel 10
Amplified Bible
Saul among Prophets
10 Then Samuel took the flask of oil and poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has the Lord not anointed you as ruler over His inheritance (Israel)? 2 When you leave me today, you will meet two men beside Rachel’s tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; they will say to you, ‘The donkeys you went to look for have been found. And your father has stopped caring about them and is worried about you, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’ 3 Then you will go on further from there, and you will come to the terebinth tree of Tabor, and three men going up to [sacrifice to] God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine. 4 They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hand. 5 After that you will come to [a]the hill of God where the garrison of the Philistines is; and when you come there to the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place [of worship] with harp, tambourine, flute, and lyre before them, and they will be prophesying. 6 Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and you will prophesy with them, and you will be changed into another man. 7 When these signs come to you, do for yourself whatever [b]the situation requires, for God is with you. 8 You shall go down ahead of me to Gilgal; and behold, I will be coming down to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you must do.”
9 Then it happened when Saul turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart; and all those signs came to pass that day. 10 When they came to the hill [Gibeah], behold, a group of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came on him mightily, and he prophesied [under divine guidance] among them. 11 Now when all who knew Saul previously saw that he actually prophesied now [by inspiration] with the prophets, the people said one to another, “What has happened to [Saul, who is nobody but] the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?” 12 And a man from there answered, “But who is the father of the others?” So it became a proverb, “Is Saul also among the prophets?” 13 When Saul had finished prophesying, he went to the high place [of worship].
14 Saul’s uncle said to him and to his servant, “Where did you go?” And Saul said, “To look for the donkeys. And when we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we went to Samuel [for help].” 15 Saul’s uncle said, “Please tell me, what did Samuel say to you?” 16 And Saul said to his uncle, “He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found.” But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned.
Saul Publicly Chosen King
17 Then Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah, 18 and he said to Israel, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘It was I who brought Israel up from Egypt, and I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms that were oppressing you.’ 19 But today you have rejected your God, who Himself saves you from all your disasters and distresses; yet you have said, ‘No! Set a king over us.’ Now then, present yourselves before the Lord by your tribes and by your families (clans).”
20 And when Samuel brought all the tribes of Israel near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen by lot. 21 Then he brought the tribe of Benjamin near by their families, and the family of Matri was chosen by lot. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen by lot; but when they looked for him, he could not be found. 22 So they inquired further of the Lord, “Has the man come here yet?” And the Lord answered, “He is there, hiding himself by the [c]provisions and supplies.”(A) 23 So they ran and took him from there, and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward. 24 Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see him whom the Lord has chosen? For there is no one like him among all the people.” So all the people shouted and said, “Long live the king!”
25 Then Samuel told the people the [d]requirements of the kingdom, and wrote them in a book and placed it before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, each one to his home. 26 Saul also went home to Gibeah; and the [e]brave men whose hearts God had touched went with him. 27 But some [f]worthless men said, “How can this man save and rescue us?” And they regarded Saul with contempt and did not bring him a gift. But he ignored the insult and kept silent.

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
10 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Samuel ang sisidlan ng langis, at ibinuhos sa ulo niya, at hinagkan niya siya, at sinabi, Hindi ba ang Panginoon ang nagpahid sa iyo ng langis upang maging prinsipe ka sa kaniyang mana?
2 Paghiwalay mo sa akin ngayon, ay masusumpungan mo nga ang dalawang lalake sa siping ng libingan ni Rachel, sa hangganan ng Benjamin sa Selsah; at sasabihin nila sa iyo, Ang mga asno na iyong hinahanap ay nasumpungan na; at, narito, niwalang bahala ng iyong ama ang mga asno, at ang inaalaala ay kayo, na sinasabi, Paano ang aking gagawin sa aking anak?
3 Kung magkagayo'y magpapatuloy ka mula roon, at darating ka sa ensina ng Tabor; at masasalubong ka roon ng tatlong lalake na inaahon ang Dios sa Beth-el, ang isa'y may dalang tatlong batang kambing, at ang isa'y may dalang tatlong tinapay, at ang isa'y may dalang isang balat na sisidlan ng alak:
4 At babatiin ka nila, at bibigyan ka ng dalawang tinapay, na iyong tatanggapin sa kanilang kamay.
5 Pagkatapos ay darating ka sa burol ng Dios, na nandoon ang isang pulutong ng mga Filisteo: at mangyayari pagdating mo roon sa bayan, na makakasalubong ka ng isang pulutong na mga propeta na lumulusong mula sa mataas na dako, na may salterio, at pandereta, at flauta, at alpa sa harap nila; at sila'y magsisipanghula.
6 At ang Espiritu ng Panginoon ay makapangyarihang sasaiyo, at manghuhula kang kasama nila, at ikaw ay magiging ibang lalake.
7 At mano nawa, na pagka ang mga tandang ito ay mangyari sa iyo, na gawin mo ang idudulot ng pagkakataon; sapagka't ang Dios ay sumasaiyo.
8 At ikaw ay lulusong na una sa akin sa Gilgal; at, narito, lulusungin kita, upang maghandog ng mga handog na susunugin, at maghain ng mga hain na mga handog tungkol sa kapayapaan: pitong araw na maghihintay ka, hanggang sa ako'y pumaroon sa iyo, at ituro sa iyo kung ano ang iyong gagawin.
9 At nangyaring gayon, na nang kaniyang matalikdan na iwan niya si Samuel, ay binigyan siya ng Dios ng ibang puso: at ang lahat na tandang yaon ay nangyari sa araw na yaon.
10 At nang sila'y dumating doon sa burol, narito, isang pulutong na mga propeta ay nasasalubong niya; at ang Espiritu ng Dios ay makapangyarihang suma kaniya, at siya'y nanghula sa gitna nila.
11 At nangyari nang makita siya ng lahat na nakakakilala sa kaniya nang una, na, narito siya'y nanghuhulang kasama ng mga propeta, ay nagsalisalitaan ang bayan, Ano itong nangyari sa anak ni Cis? Si Saul ba ay nasa gitna rin ng mga propeta?
12 At isang taga dakong yaon ay sumagot at nagsabi, At sino ang kanilang ama? Kaya't naging kawikaan, Si Saul ba ay nasa gitna rin ng mga propeta?
13 At nang siya'y makatapos ng panghuhula, siya'y sumampa sa mataas na dako.
14 At sinabi ng amain ni Saul sa kaniya at sa kaniyang bataan, Saan kayo naparoon? At kaniyang sinabi, Upang hanapin ang mga asno, at nang aming makita na hindi mangasumpungan, ay naparoon kami kay Samuel.
15 At sinabi ng amain ni Saul, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na saysayin mo sa akin, kung ano ang sinabi ni Samuel sa inyo.
16 At sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang amain, Sinabi niyang maliwanag sa amin na ang mga asno ay nasumpungan na. Nguni't tungkol sa bagay ng kaharian, na sinalita ni Samuel, ay hindi niya isinaysay sa kaniya.
17 At tinipon ni Samuel ang bayan sa Panginoon sa Mizpa;
18 At sinabi niya sa mga anak ni Israel, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Iniahon ko ang Israel mula sa Egipto, at pinapaging laya ko kayo sa kamay ng mga taga Egipto, at sa kamay ng lahat ng mga kaharian na pumighati sa inyo:
19 Nguni't itinakuwil ninyo sa araw na ito ang inyong Dios, na siyang nagligtas sa inyo sa lahat ng mga inyong kasakunaan at mga kapighatian; at sinabi ninyo sa kaniya, Hindi, kundi lagyan mo kami ng isang hari. Ngayon nga'y humarap kayo sa Panginoon ayon sa inyoinyong mga lipi, at ayon sa inyong mga libolibo.
20 Sa gayo'y pinalapit ni Samuel ang lahat ng mga lipi, at ang lipi ni Benjamin ang napili.
21 At kaniyang inilapit ang lipi ni Benjamin ayon sa kaniyang mga angkan; at ang angkan ni Matri ay siyang napili; at si Saul na anak ni Cis, ay siyang napili: nguni't nang kanilang hanapin siya ay hindi nasumpungan.
22 Kaya't kanilang itinanong uli sa Panginoon, May lalake pa bang paririto? At ang Panginoon ay sumagot, Narito siya'y nagtago sa mga kasangkapan.
23 At sila'y tumakbo at kinuha nila siya roon; at nang siya'y tumayo sa gitna ng bayan, ay mataas siya kay sa sinoman sa bayan, mula sa kaniyang mga balikat at paitaas.
24 At sinabi ni Samuel sa buong bayan, Nakikita ba ninyo siya na pinili ng Panginoon, na walang gaya niya sa buong bayan? At ang buong bayan ay sumigaw, at nagsabi, Mabuhay ang hari.
25 Nang magkagayo'y sinaysay ni Samuel sa bayan ang paraan ng kaharian, at isinulat sa isang aklat, at inilagay sa harap ng Panginoon. At pinayaon ni Samuel ang buong bayan, na pinauwi bawa't tao sa kaniyang bahay.
26 At si Saul man ay umuwi sa kaniyang bahay sa Gabaa; at yumaong kasama niya ang hukbo, na ang kanilang mga kalooban ay kinilos ng Dios.
27 Nguni't sinabi ng ilang hamak na tao, Paanong ililigtas tayo ng taong ito? At kanilang niwalang kabuluhan at hindi nila dinalhan ng kaloob. Nguni't siya'y hindi umimik.
1 Samuel 10
King James Version
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.
