israelite_n this_o first_o i_o affirm_v 2._o that_o israel_n priest_n and_o people_n there_o go_v by_o their_o rule_n doubtless_o they_o have_v use_v all_o fair_a mean_n before_o they_o take_v the_o

before_o saul_n have_v murder_v those_o priest_n who_o be_v the_o likely_a man_n in_o all_o judah_n to_o pray_v and_o fast_o for_o he_o he_o murder_v they_o indeed_o it_o be_v as_o sad_a a_o case_n as_o i_o think_v be_v imaginable_a for_o whereas_o he_o may_v have_v have_v groan_n and_o prayer_n put_v up_o to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n in_o his_o behalf_n from_o the_o priest_n mouth_n he_o

our_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v true_o this_o be_v a_o heavy_a case_n certain_o israel_n go_v by_o rule_n they_o pray_v for_o their_o king_n they_o be_v not_o want_v in_o that_o point_n indeed_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n touch_v this_o matter_n which_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o all_o this_o time_n which_o soul_n have_v cast_v away_o and_o worse_a then_o lose_v in_o persecution_n of_o david_n i_o hear_v not_o one_o word_n of_o counsel_n or_o prayer_n from_o samuel_n mouth_n that_o good_a old_a prophet_n it_o be_v true_a before_o this_o persecution_n begin_v we_o read_v samuel_n come_v no_o

and_o it_o be_v with_o they_o as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o former_a 21._o ver._n 21._o they_o prophesy_v also_o then_o saul_n go_v himself_o to_o ramah_n for_o he_o will_v have_v david_n whether_o

but_o sure_o there_o be_v something_o in_o this_o 20._o ver._n 20._o and_o samuel_n stand_v as_o appoint_v over_o they_o doubtless_o this_o change_n upon_o saul_n the_o restraint_n of_o his_o bloody_a

the_o tribe_n it_o be_v their_o time_n now_o to_o appear_v in_o the_o field_n there_o to_o hold_v up_o their_o hand_n with_o their_o sword_n for_o saul_n in_o pursuance_n of_o his_o own_o way_n and_o to_o satisfy_v his_o will_n have_v command_v the_o edomite_n and_o nob_n be_v destroy_v and_o saul_n be_v haste_v to_o keilah_n and_o have_v call_v together_o five_o thousand_o man_n david_n and_o
