Ramah

And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves before Jehovah, and turn back, and come in unto their house in Ramah, and Elkanah knoweth Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembereth her;

And Elkanah goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth hath been serving Jehovah, in the presence of Eli the priest;

and his returning is to Ramath, for there is his house, and there he hath judged Israel, and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah.

And all the elders of Israel gather themselves together, and come in unto Samuel to Ramath,

And Samuel goeth to Ramath, and Saul hath gone unto his house--to Gibeah of Saul.

And Samuel taketh the horn of oil, and anointeth him in the midst of his brethren, and prosper over David doth the Spirit of Jehovah from that day and onwards; and Samuel riseth and goeth to Ramath.

And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth.

And it is declared to Saul, saying, `Lo, David is in Naioth in Ramah.'

And he goeth--he also--to Ramath, and cometh in unto the great well which is in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, `Where are Samuel and David?' and one saith, `Lo, in Naioth in Ramah.'

And he goeth thither--unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God is upon him--him also; and he goeth, going on, and he prophesieth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah,

And David fleeth from Naioth in Ramah, and cometh, and saith before Jonathan, `What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what my sin before thy father, that he is seeking my life?'

And Samuel dieth, and all Israel are gathered, and mourn for him, and bury him in his house, in Ramah; and David riseth and goeth down unto the wilderness of Paran.

And Samuel hath died, and all Israel mourn for him, and bury him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul hath turned aside those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
