13. So Saul died for his transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept it not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek counsel, and Samuel the prophet answered him:
|
13. So Saul H7586 died H4191 for his transgression H4604 which H834 he committed H4603 against the LORD H3068 , even against H5921 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he kept H8104 not H3808 , and also H1571 for asking H7592 counsel of one that had a familiar spirit H178 , to inquire H1875 of it ;
|
|
14. and he sought not the Lord: so he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
|
14. And inquired H1875 not H3808 of the LORD H3068 : therefore he slew H4191 him , and turned H5437 H853 the kingdom H4410 unto David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 .
