14 And Samuel said to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal and renew the
kingdom there. 15And all the people went to Gilgal and made Saul to reign there in Gilgal,
before the face of YAHUVEH. And they offered Sacrifices of peace offerings there
before YAHUVEH. And Saul and all the men of Israel greatly rejoiced there.
*~1 Samuel Chapter 12 ~*
1 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have heard your voice, to all that
you said to me, and I made a king to reign over you. 2 And now, behold, the king is walking before you, but I am old and gray. And,
behold, my sons, they are with you. And I have walked before your face from my
youth until this day. 3 Behold, I am here! Testify against me before YAHUVEH and before His anointed:
Whose ox have I taken, and whose donkey have I taken, and whom have I offended?
Whom have I crushed, and from whose hand have I taken a bribe that I might hide
my eyes with it; and I will give back to you. 4 And they said, You have not oppressed us, and you have not crushed us, and you
have not taken from the hand of any man. 5 And he said to them, YAHUVEH is witness against you, and His anointed is
witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand. And they said, He
is witness. 6 And Samuel said to the people, It is YAHUVEH who made Moses and Aaron, and who
caused your fathers to go up from the land of Egypt. 7 And now stand, and I will contend with you before the face of YAHUVEH
regarding all the righteous acts of YAHUVEH which He did with you and with your
fathers. 8 When Jacob came into Egypt, and your fathers cried to YAHUVEH, then YAHUVEH
sent Moses and Aaron; and they brought your fathers out from Egypt and made them
dwell in this place. 9 And they forgot YAHUVEH their ELOHIM. And He sold them into the hand of Sisera,
commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into
the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them. 10 And they cried to YAHUVEH and said, We have sinned, for we forsook YAHUVEH
and served the Baals and the Ashtoroth, but now deliver us from the hand of our
enemies and we will serve You. 11 And YAHUVEH sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and
delivered you from the hand of your enemies from all around; and you lived in
safety. 12 And you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, and
you said to me, No, for a king shall reign over us even though YAHUVEH your
ELOHIM was king over you. 13 And now, behold the king whom you chose, whom you requested. And behold
YAHUVEH gave a king over you. 14 If you will fear YAHUVEH and serve Him, and listen to His voice, and do not
rebel against the mouth of YAHUVEH, then you, both you and also the king who
reigns over you, shall follow YAHUVEH your ELOHIM. 15 But if you will not listen to the voice of YAHUVEH, and you rebel against the
mouth of YAHUVEH, then the hand of YAHUVEH shall be against you and against your
fathers. 16 Also, now present yourselves and see this great thing that YAHUVEH will do
before your eyes. 17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call to YAHUVEH and He will give sounds
and rain. And know and see that your evil is great, that which you have done in
the eyes of YAHUVEH, to ask a king for yourselves. 18 And Samuel called to YAHUVEH. And YAHUVEH gave sounds and rain in that day.
And all the people greatly feared YAHUVEH and Samuel. 19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to YAHUVEH your ELOHIM for your
servants, that we may not die, for we have added this evil to all our sins to
ask a king for ourselves. 20 And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this evil, only
do not turn aside from following YAHUVEH, and serve YAHUVEH with all your heart. 21 And do not turn aside to go after worthless things which do not profit and do
not deliver, for they are worthless. 22 For YAHUVEH will not abandon His people, for the sake of His great name. For
YAHUVEH resolves to make you a people for Himself.
John 19:1-17
1 Then Pilate took YAHUSHUA and scourged Him. 2 And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and they placed it on His head and
they covered Him with garments of purple. 3 And they were saying, Peace to you, King of the Jews. And they were striking
Him on His cheeks. 4 Then Pilate went outside again and said to them, Behold, I bring Him out to
you that you may know that I do not find even one crime in Him! 5 Then YAHUSHUA came outside, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple
clothing. And he said to them, Behold, the Man! 6 Then when the chief priests and the guards saw Him, they cried out, saying,
Crucify! Crucify! Pilate said to them, You take Him and crucify Him, for I do
not find one crime in Him! 7 Then the Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our Law He ought
to die because He made Himself Son of ELOHIM! 8 Then when Pilate heard this word, he was more afraid. 9 And he entered into the praetorium again and said to YAHUSHUA, From where are
You? But YAHUSHUA did not give him an answer. 10 So Pilate said to Him, Do You not speak to me? Do You not know that I have
authority to crucify You, and I have authority to release You? 11YAHUSHUA answered, You would have no authority over me whatsoever, if it had
not been given to you from above. Because of this, he who delivered me to you,
his sin is greater than yours. 12And because of this, Pilate was wanting to release Him, but the Jews were
crying out, If you release this man you are not a friend of Caesar. For every
one who makes himself a king is an adversary of Caesar. 13Now when Pilate heard this word, he brought YAHUSHUA outside and sat upon the
judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement of Stones but in Hebrew, is
called Gabbatha. 14And it was the Preparation of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he
said to the Jews, Behold, your King! 15But they were crying out, Take Him away! Take Him away! Crucify Him! Crucify
Him! Pilate said to them, Should I crucify your king? The chief priests said to
him, We have no king but Caesar! 16Therefore, then, he delivered Him up to them, that He might be crucified. And
they took YAHUSHUA and led Him away. 17Carrying His cross beam to a place that was called The Skull, but in Hebrew is
called Golgotha
