13:2

Saul
<07586>

chose
<0977> (8799)

him three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

[men] of Israel
<03478>_;

[whereof] two thousand
<0505>

were with Saul
<07586>

in Michmash
<04363>

and in mount
<02022>

Bethel
<01008>_,

and a thousand
<0505>

were with Jonathan
<03129>

in Gibeah
<01390>

of Benjamin
<01144>_:

and the rest
<03499>

of the people
<05971>

he sent
<07971> (8765)

every man
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

13:3

And Jonathan
<03129>

smote
<05221> (8686)

the garrison
<05333>

of the Philistines
<06430>

that [was] in Geba
<01387>_,

and the Philistines
<06430>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it]. And Saul
<07586>

blew
<08628> (8804)

the trumpet
<07782>

throughout all the land
<0776>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let the Hebrews
<05680>

hear
<08085> (8799)_.

{Geba: or, the hill}

13:4

And all Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8804)

say
<0559> (8800)

[that] Saul
<07586>

had smitten
<05221> (8689)

a garrison
<05333>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and [that] Israel
<03478>

also was had in abomination
<0887> (8738)

with the Philistines
<06430>_.

And the people
<05971>

were called together
<06817> (8735)

after
<0310>

Saul
<07586>

to Gilgal
<01537>_.

{was...: Heb. did stink}

13:5

And the Philistines
<06430>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

with Israel
<03478>_,

thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>

chariots
<07393>_,

and six
<08337>

thousand
<0505>

horsemen
<06571>_,

and people
<05971>

as the sand
<02344>

which [is] on the sea
<03220>

shore
<08193>

in multitude
<07230>_:

and they came up
<05927> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Michmash
<04363>_,

eastward
<06926>

from Bethaven
<01007>_.

13:6

When the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that they were in a strait
<06887> (8804)_,

(for the people
<05971>

were distressed
<05065> (8738),)

then the people
<05971>

did hide
<02244> (8691)

themselves in caves
<04631>_,

and in thickets
<02337>_,

and in rocks
<05553>_,

and in high places
<06877>_,

and in pits
<0953>_.

13:7

And [some of] the Hebrews
<05680>

went over
<05674> (8804)

Jordan
<03383>

to the land
<0776>

of Gad
<01410>

and Gilead
<01568>_.

As for Saul
<07586>_,

he [was] yet in Gilgal
<01537>_,

and all the people
<05971>

followed
<0310>

him trembling
<02729> (8804)_.

{followed...: Heb. trembled after him}

13:8

And he tarried
<03176> (8686) (8675) <03176> (8735)

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

according to the set time
<04150>

that Samuel
<08050>

[had appointed]: but Samuel
<08050>

came
<0935> (8804)

not to Gilgal
<01537>_;

and the people
<05971>

were scattered
<06327> (8686)

from him.

13:9

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Bring hither
<05066> (8685)

a burnt offering
<05930>

to me, and peace offerings
<08002>_.

And he offered
<05927> (8686)

the burnt offering
<05930>_.

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}
