1 Samuel 19

1 Samuel 19:13

And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually, in the room of Joab.

Go, say to Amasa, Art not thou my near kinsman, my sister’s son; of the same flesh and blood with me? As I look for any favour from God, or would avoid his heaviest judgments, my full purpose and resolution is, that thou shalt be the general of all my forces, during thy life, in the stead of Joab; whom, upon the just reason of his murders and insolency, I have decreed to discard.

1 Samuel 19:20

And they also prophesied.

See chapter x. 6. and xviii. 10.

1 Samuel 19:22

Do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?

Do not I know, that this is the day, wherein I am restored unto and settled in the kingdom of Israel?

1 Samuel 19:24

And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and laid down naked all that day and all that night.

And he stript himself of his military habit, or of his kingly attire, and carried himself in a wild distracted fashion; and lay down so disrobed, all that day and that night; appearing before Samuel, in the habit and fashion of a prophet, amongst the rest.

1 Samuel 19:29

Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.

Trouble not thyself about these matters. I have, in my first sentence, set an order in these affairs, which I do still decree to make good; That Ziba should till and husband those lands to thy use, so as he may receive one moiety of the profits for his labour, and the rest may accrue unto thee, whom I have made the Lord of them.
