Löydetty 7081 Tulokset: Word Of The Lord
till the whole people was smitten with a great fear of the Lord and of Samuel. The whole people cried out with one voice, Pray to the Lord thy God for us thy servants, that our lives may be spared! We had sinned enough already, and now we have done him further wrong, by asking for a king to rule us. (1 Samuel 12, 19)
Do not be afraid, Samuel told them; you see how great is the wrong you have done; but now follow close where the Lord leads you, and serve him with all your hearts. (1 Samuel 12, 20)
For his own renown, the Lord will not forsake his own people, and his people he has sworn you shall be. (1 Samuel 12, 22)
Pray for you? Never may I offend the Lord by ceasing to pray for you, and pointing you to the good paths, the right paths. (1 Samuel 12, 23)
Fear the Lord, and serve him loyally with all your hearts; you have seen what marvellous deeds he can do in your midst, (1 Samuel 12, 24)
So the word went round that Saul had overpowered a Philistine garrison, and Israel was at war with the Philistines; and they raised their battle-cry under Saul’s command at Galgala. (1 Samuel 13, 4)
Can I let the Philistines sweep down on me here in Galgala, thought I, without first winning the Lord’s favour? So I offered the burnt-sacrifice; there was no other way. (1 Samuel 13, 12)
But Samuel told him, This was great folly in thee, so to transgress the commands which the Lord thy God had given thee. But for this, the Lord would have destined thee, here and now, to found a line of kings that should have ruled Israel for ever.✻ (1 Samuel 13, 13)
Now thy dynasty shall fall with thee; the Lord has found a man to fulfil his purposes, and rule his people instead of thee; such is the reward of disobedience. (1 Samuel 13, 14)
And one day, Saul’s son Jonathan proposed to the lad who carried his armour for him, Let us attack the Philistine detachment over yonder; but he said no word of it to Saul. (1 Samuel 14, 1)
he had a priest with him, bearing the sacred mantle, Achias son of Achitob. (This Achitob was brother to Ichabod, and son of that Phinees whose father Heli was once the Lord’s priest at Silo.) The men in the ranks, too, knew nothing of Jonathan’s errand. (1 Samuel 14, 3)
Here, then, Jonathan said to his squire, Let us attack the post these uncircumcised Philistines have set on guard, and see if the Lord will speed us. Many or few, if the Lord means to grant us victory, who shall prevent him? (1 Samuel 14, 6)
