New King James Version
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos:
“Go, you seer!
Flee to the land of Judah.
There eat bread,
And there prophesy.
13 But (A)never again prophesy at Bethel,
(B)For it is the king’s [a]sanctuary,
And it is the royal [b]residence.”
14 Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:
“I was no prophet,
Nor was I (C)a son of a prophet,
But I was a (D)sheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit.
15 Then the Lord took me [c]as I followed the flock,
And the Lord said to me,
‘Go, (E)prophesy to My people Israel.’

12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(A) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(B) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(C) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(D) of the kingdom.(E)”
14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet(F) nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.(G) 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock(H) and said to me, ‘Go,(I) prophesy(J) to my people Israel.’(K)

6 Then said I:
(A)“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”
7 But the Lord said to me:
“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And (B)whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 (C)Do not be afraid of their faces,
For (D)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and (E)touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have (F)put My words in your mouth.
10 (G)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To (H)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”

9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched(G) my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.(H) 10 See, today I appoint you over nations(I) and kingdoms to uproot(J) and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”(K)

8 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: (A)“I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel. 9 And (B)I have been with you wherever you have gone, (C)and have [a]cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a great name, like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (D)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; (E)nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 11 (F)since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the Lord [b]tells you (G)that He will make you a [c]house.
12 (H)“When your days are fulfilled and you (I)rest with your fathers, (J)I will set up your seed after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (K)He shall build a house for My name, and I will (L)establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (M)I will be his Father, and he shall be (N)My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the [d]blows of the sons of men. 15 But My mercy shall not depart from him, (O)as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 And (P)your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before [e]you. Your throne shall be established forever.” ’ ”
17 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

“‘The Lord declares(M) to you that the Lord himself will establish(N) a house(O) for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest(P) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(Q) and I will establish his kingdom.(R) 13 He is the one who will build a house(S) for my Name,(T) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(U) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(V) When he does wrong, I will punish him(W) with a rod(X) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(Y) as I took it away from Saul,(Z) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne(AA) will be established(AB) forever.(AC)’”
17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

18 So David said to Saul, (A)“Who am I, and what is my life or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?” 19 But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to (B)Adriel the (C)Meholathite as a wife.
20 (D)Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him. 21 So Saul said, “I will give her to him, that she may [a]be a snare to him, and that (E)the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” Therefore Saul said to David a second time, (F)“You shall be my son-in-law today.”
22 And Saul commanded his servants, “Communicate with David secretly, and say, ‘Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king’s son-in-law.’ ”
23 So Saul’s servants spoke those words in the hearing of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king’s son-in-law, seeing I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?”

18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I,(A) and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?(B)” 19 So[a] when the time came for Merab,(C) Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.(D)
20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal(E) was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.(F) 21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare(G) 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.”
22 Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’”
23 They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law?(H) I’m only a poor man and little known.”

20 But as for (A)your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And [a]on whom (B)is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father’s house?”
21 And Saul answered and said, (C)“Am I not a Benjamite, of the (D)smallest of the tribes of Israel, and (E)my family the least of all the families of the [b]tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?”
22 Now Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall, and had them sit in the place of honor among those who were invited; there were about thirty persons.
