1 Samuel 13:10-23

13:10

And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of offering
<05927> (8687)

the burnt offering
<05930>_,

behold, Samuel
<08050>

came
<0935> (8802)_;

and Saul
<07586>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, that he might salute
<01288> (8800)

him. {salute: Heb. bless}

13:11

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because I saw
<07200> (8804)

that the people
<05971>

were scattered
<05310> (8804)

from me, and [that] thou camest
<0935> (8804)

not within the days
<03117>

appointed
<04150>_,

and [that] the Philistines
<06430>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8737)

at Michmash
<04363>_;

13:12

Therefore said
<0559> (8799)

I, The Philistines
<06430>

will come down
<03381> (8799)

now upon me to Gilgal
<01537>_,

and I have not made supplication
<02470> (8765)

unto
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_:

I forced
<0662> (8691)

myself therefore, and offered
<05927> (8686)

a burnt offering
<05930>_.

{made...: Heb. intreated the face [of]}

13:13

And Samuel
<08050>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Thou hast done foolishly
<05528> (8738)_:

thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)

the commandment
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee: for now would the LORD
<03068>

have established
<03559> (8689)

thy kingdom
<04467>

upon Israel
<03478>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

13:14

But now thy kingdom
<04467>

shall not continue
<06965> (8799)_:

the LORD
<03068>

hath sought
<01245> (8765)

him a man
<0376>

after his own heart
<03824>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath commanded
<06680> (8762)

him [to be] captain
<05057>

over his people
<05971>_,

because thou hast not kept
<08104> (8804)

[that] which the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee.

13:15

And Samuel
<08050>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and gat him up
<05927> (8799)

from Gilgal
<01537>

unto Gibeah
<01390>

of Benjamin
<01144>_.

And Saul
<07586>

numbered
<06485> (8799)

the people
<05971>

[that were] present
<04672> (8737)

with him, about six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

{present: Heb. found}

13:16

And Saul
<07586>_,

and Jonathan
<03129>

his son
<01121>_,

and the people
<05971>

[that were] present
<04672> (8737)

with them, abode
<03427> (8802)

in Gibeah
<01387>

of Benjamin
<01144>_:

but the Philistines
<06430>

encamped
<02583> (8804)

in Michmash
<04363>_.

{present: Heb. found} {Gibeah: Heb. Geba}

13:17

And the spoilers
<07843> (8688)

came out
<03318> (8799)

of the camp
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

in three
<07969>

companies
<07218>_:

one
<0259>

company
<07218>

turned
<06437> (8799)

unto the way
<01870>

[that leadeth to] Ophrah
<06084>_,

unto the land
<0776>

of Shual
<07777>_:

13:18

And another
<0259>

company
<07218>

turned
<06437> (8799)

the way
<01870>

[to] Bethhoron
<01032>_:

and another
<0259>

company
<07218>

turned
<06437> (8799)

[to] the way
<01870>

of the border
<01366>

that looketh
<08259> (8737)

to the valley
<01516>

of Zeboim
<06650>

toward the wilderness
<04057>_.

13:19

Now there was no smith
<02796>

found
<04672> (8735)

throughout all the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_:

for the Philistines
<06430>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

Lest the Hebrews
<05680>

make
<06213> (8799)

[them] swords
<02719>

or spears
<02595>_:

13:20

But all the Israelites
<03478>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to the Philistines
<06430>_,

to sharpen
<03913> (8800)

every man
<0376>

his share
<04282>_,

and his coulter
<0855>_,

and his axe
<07134>_,

and his mattock
<04281>_.

13:21

Yet they had a file
<06477> <06310>

for the mattocks
<04281>_,

and for the coulters
<0855>_,

and for the forks
<07969> <07053>_,

and for the axes
<07134>_,

and to sharpen
<05324> (8687)

the goads
<01861>_.

{a file: Heb. a file with mouths, or Heb. a pim, a third of a shekel} {sharpen: Heb. set}

13:22

So it came to pass in the day
<03117>

of battle
<04421>_,

that there was neither sword
<02719>

nor spear
<02595>

found
<04672> (8738)

in the hand
<03027>

of any of the people
<05971>

that [were] with Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03129>_:

but with Saul
<07586>

and with Jonathan
<03129>

his son
<01121>

was there found
<04672> (8735)_.

13:23

And the garrison
<04673>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to the passage
<04569>

of Michmash
<04363>_.

{garrison: or, standing camp}
