1 Samuel 2:8
Konteks2:8 He lifts the weak 1 from the dust;
he raises 2 the poor from the ash heap
to seat them with princes
and to bestow on them an honored position. 3
The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord,
and he has placed the world on them.
1 Samuel 13:3
Konteks13:3 Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost 4 that was at Geba and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul alerted 5 all the land saying, “Let the Hebrews pay attention!”
1 Samuel 16:1
Konteks16:1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. 6 Fill your horn with olive oil and go! I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, 7 for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons.” 8
1 Samuel 17:47
Konteks17:47 and all this assembly will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves! For the battle is the Lord’s, and he will deliver you into our hand.”
1 Samuel 18:17
Konteks18:17 9 Then Saul said to David, “Here’s my oldest daughter, Merab. I want to give her to you in marriage. Only be a brave warrior 10 for me and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul thought, “There’s no need for me to raise my hand against him. Let it be the hand of the Philistines!”
1 Samuel 18:25
Konteks18:25 Saul replied, “Here is what you should say to David: ‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his 11 enemies.’” (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)
1 Samuel 18:27
Konteks18:27 when David, along with his men, went out 12 and struck down two hundred Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so he could become the king’s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
1 Samuel 20:3
Konteks20:3 Taking an oath, David again 13 said, “Your father is very much aware of the fact 14 that I have found favor with you, and he has thought, 15 ‘Don’t let Jonathan know about this, or he will be upset.’ But as surely as the Lord lives and you live, there is about one step between me and death!”
1 Samuel 22:13
Konteks22:13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and this son of Jesse? You gave 16 him bread and a sword and inquired of God on his behalf, so that he opposes 17 me and waits in ambush, as is the case today!”
1 Samuel 27:11
Konteks27:11 Neither man nor woman would David leave alive so as to bring them back to Gath. He was thinking, “This way they can’t tell on us, saying, ‘This is what David did.’” Such was his practice the entire time 18 that he lived in the country of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 28:7
Konteks28:7 So Saul instructed his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, 19 so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants replied to him, “There is a woman who is a medium in Endor.”
