11 Also the judges, every one by his name,

all whose hearts didn’t engage in immorality,

and who didn’t turn away from the master—

may their memory be blessed!

12 May their bones flourish again out of their place.

May the name of those who have been honoured be renewed in their children.

13 Shmuel (Samuel), the prophet of the master, loved by his master,

established a kingdom and anointed princes over his people.

14 By the law of the master he judged the congregation,

and the master watched over Ya’akov (Jacob).

15 By his faithfulness he was proved to be a prophet.

By his words he was known to be faithful in vision.

16 When his enemies pressed on him on every side,

he called upon the master, the Mighty One,

with the offering of the suckling lamb.

17 Then the master thundered from heaven.

He made his voice heard with a mighty sound.

18 He utterly destroyed the rulers of the Tsorim (Tyrians)

and all the princes of the Pelishtim.

19 Before the time of his age-long sleep,

he testified in the sight of the lord and his anointed,

“I have not taken any man’s goods, so much as a sandal;”

and no one accused him.

20 Even after he fell asleep, he prophesied,

and showed the king his end,

and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy,

to blot out the wickedness of the people.
