¹³ Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed are you by Yahweh: I have performed the commandment of Yahweh.

¹⁰ He said, Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter: you have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.

² He said to his mother, The eleven hundred [pieces] of silver that were taken from you, about which you did utter a curse, and did also speak it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. His mother said, Blessed be my son of Yahweh.

¹⁹ He blessed him, and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

¹⁰ Even so you also, when you have done all the things that are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have done our duty.'"

³¹ Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!

¹³ There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

¹³ He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, But whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

² Let another man praise you, And not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.

¹¹ It repents me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and has not performed my commandments. Samuel was angry; and he cried to Yahweh all night.

⁹ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

¹⁰ It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.

¹² The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."
