1 Samuel 4:1New Messianic Version BibleAnd the word of Sh’mu’el [His name is El] came to all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. Now Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went out against the P’lishtim [Immigrants] to battle, and pitched beside Even-’’Ezer [treasure] [stone of help]: and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] pitched in Aphek [Enclosure]. See the chapter |
And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] put themselves in array (to put on; to clothe) against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and when they joined battle, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was smitten before the P’lishtim [Immigrants]: and they killed of the army in the field about four thousand men.
And you2f have this day rejected your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and you2f have said unto him, [No], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by your tribes, and by your thousands.
