1 Samuel 13:23--14:23

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}

14:1

Now it came to pass upon a day
<03117>_,

that Jonathan
<03129>

the son
<01121>

of Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the young man
<05288>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

his armour
<03627>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go over
<05674> (8799)

to the Philistines
<06430>_'

garrison
<04673>_,

that [is] on the other side
<05676> <01975>_.

But he told
<05046> (8689)

not his father
<01>_.

{it came...: or, there was a day}

14:2

And Saul
<07586>

tarried
<03427> (8802)

in the uttermost
<07097>

part of Gibeah
<01390>

under a pomegranate tree
<07416>

which [is] in Migron
<04051>_:

and the people
<05971>

that [were] with him [were] about six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_;

14:3

And Ahiah
<0281>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

Ichabod's
<0350>

brother
<0251>_,

the son
<01121>

of Phinehas
<06372>_,

the son
<01121>

of Eli
<05941>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

priest
<03548>

in Shiloh
<07887>_,

wearing
<05375> (8802)

an ephod
<0646>_.

And the people
<05971>

knew
<03045> (8804)

not that Jonathan
<03129>

was gone
<01980> (8804)_.

{Ahiah: called Ahimelech}

14:4

And between the passages
<04569>_,

by which Jonathan
<03129>

sought
<01245> (8765)

to go over
<05674> (8800)

unto the Philistines
<06430>_'

garrison
<04673>_,

[there was] a sharp
<08127>

rock
<05553>

on the one side
<05676>_,

and a sharp
<08127>

rock
<05553>

on the other side
<05676>_:

and the name
<08034>

of the one
<0259>

[was] Bozez
<0949>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the other
<0259>

Seneh
<05573>_.

14:5

The forefront
<08127>

of the one
<0259>

[was] situate
<04690>

northward
<06828>

over against
<04136>

Michmash
<04363>_,

and the other
<0259>

southward
<05045>

over against
<04136>

Gibeah
<01387>_.

{forefront: Heb. tooth}

14:6

And Jonathan
<03083>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the young man
<05288>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

his armour
<03627>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us go over
<05674> (8799)

unto the garrison
<04673>

of these uncircumcised
<06189>_:

it may be that the LORD
<03068>

will work
<06213> (8799)

for us: for [there is] no restraint
<04622>

to the LORD
<03068>

to save
<03467> (8687)

by many
<07227>

or by few
<04592>_.

14:7

And his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Do
<06213> (8798)

all that [is] in thine heart
<03824>_:

turn
<05186> (8798)

thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart
<03824>_.

14:8

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Jonathan
<03083>_,

Behold, we will pass over
<05674> (8802)

unto [these] men
<0582>_,

and we will discover
<01540> (8738)

ourselves unto them.

14:9

If they say
<0559> (8799)

thus unto us, Tarry
<01826> (8798)

until we come
<05060> (8687)

to you; then we will stand still
<05975> (8804)

in our place, and will not go up
<05927> (8799)

unto them. {Tarry: Heb. Be still}

14:10

But if they say
<0559> (8799)

thus, Come up
<05927> (8798)

unto us; then we will go up
<05927> (8804)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

them into our hand
<03027>_:

and this [shall be] a sign
<0226>

unto us.

14:11

And both
<08147>

of them discovered
<01540> (8735)

themselves unto the garrison
<04673>

of the Philistines
<06430>_:

and the Philistines
<06430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, the Hebrews
<05680>

come forth
<03318> (8802)

out of the holes
<02356>

where they had hid
<02244> (8694)

themselves.

14:12

And the men
<0582>

of the garrison
<04675>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Jonathan
<03129>

and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Come up
<05927> (8798)

to us, and we will shew
<03045> (8686)

you a thing
<01697>_.

And Jonathan
<03129>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

Come up
<05927> (8798)

after
<0310>

me: for the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Israel
<03478>_.

14:13

And Jonathan
<03129>

climbed up
<05927> (8799)

upon his hands
<03027>

and upon his feet
<07272>_,

and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

after
<0310>

him: and they fell
<05307> (8799)

before
<06440>

Jonathan
<03129>_;

and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

slew
<04191> (8789)

after
<0310>

him.

14:14

And that first
<07223>

slaughter
<04347>_,

which Jonathan
<03129>

and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

made
<05221> (8689)_,

was about twenty
<06242>

men
<0376>_,

within as it were an half
<02677>

acre
<04618>

of land
<07704>_,

[which] a yoke
<06776>

[of oxen might plow]. {an...: or, half a furrow of an acre of land}

14:15

And there was trembling
<02731>

in the host
<04264>_,

in the field
<07704>_,

and among all the people
<05971>_:

the garrison
<04673>_,

and the spoilers
<07843> (8688)_,

they also trembled
<02729> (8804)_,

and the earth
<0776>

quaked
<07264> (8799)_:

so it was a very great
<0430>

trembling
<02731>_.

{a very...: Heb. a trembling of God}

14:16

And the watchmen
<06822> (8802)

of Saul
<07586>

in Gibeah
<01390>

of Benjamin
<01144>

looked
<07200> (8799)_;

and, behold, the multitude
<01995>

melted away
<04127> (8738)_,

and they went
<03212> (8799)

on beating down
<01986> (8800)

[one another].

14:17

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

unto the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, Number
<06485> (8798)

now, and see
<07200> (8798)

who is gone
<01980> (8804)

from us. And when they had numbered
<06485> (8799)_,

behold, Jonathan
<03129>

and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

[were] not [there].

14:18

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahiah
<0281>_,

Bring hither
<05066> (8685)

the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>_.

For the ark
<0727>

of God
<0430>

was at that time
<03117>

with the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

14:19

And it came to pass, while Saul
<07586>

talked
<01696> (8765)

unto the priest
<03548>_,

that the noise
<01995>

that [was] in the host
<04264>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went
<03212> (8799)

on
<01980> (8800)

and increased
<07227>_:

and Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the priest
<03548>_,

Withdraw
<0622> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>_.

{noise: or, tumult}

14:20

And Saul
<07586>

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him assembled
<02199> (8735)

themselves, and they came
<0935> (8799)

to the battle
<04421>_:

and, behold, every man's
<0376>

sword
<02719>

was against his fellow
<07453>_,

[and there was] a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

discomfiture
<04103>_.

{assembled...: Heb. were cried together}

14:21

Moreover the Hebrews
<05680>

[that] were with the Philistines
<06430>

before
<0865>

that time
<08032>_,

which went up
<05927> (8804)

with them into the camp
<04264>

[from the country] round about
<05439>_,

even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites
<03478>

that [were] with Saul
<07586>

and Jonathan
<03129>_.

14:22

Likewise all the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

which had hid
<02244> (8693)

themselves in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

[when] they heard
<08085> (8804)

that the Philistines
<06430>

fled
<05127> (8804)_,

even they also followed hard
<01692> (8686)

after
<0310>

them in the battle
<04421>_.

14:23

So the LORD
<03068>

saved
<03467> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

that day
<03117>_:

and the battle
<04421>

passed over
<05674> (8804)

unto Bethaven
<01007>_.
