1 Samuel 13:1--15:35

13:1
Saul
<07586>
reigned
<04427> (8800)
one year
<01121> <08141>_;
and when he had reigned
<04427> (8804)
two
<08147>
years
<08141>
over Israel
<03478>_,
{reigned one...: Heb. the son of one year in his reigning}
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}
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}
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>_.
14:24
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
were distressed
<05065> (8738)
that day
<03117>_:
for Saul
<07586>
had adjured
<0422> (8686)
the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
that eateth
<0398> (8799)
[any] food
<03899>
until evening
<06153>_,
that I may be avenged
<05358> (8738)
on mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
So none of the people
<05971>
tasted
<02938> (8804)
[any] food
<03899>_.
14:25
And all [they of] the land
<0776>
came
<0935> (8804)
to a wood
<03293>_;
and there was honey
<01706>
upon
<06440>
the ground
<07704>_.
14:26
And when the people
<05971>
were come
<0935> (8799)
into the wood
<03293>_,
behold, the honey
<01706>
dropped
<01982>_;
but no man put
<05381> (8688)
his hand
<03027>
to his mouth
<06310>_:
for the people
<05971>
feared
<03372> (8804)
the oath
<07621>_.
14:27
But Jonathan
<03129>
heard
<08085> (8804)
not when his father
<01>
charged
<07650> (0)
the people
<05971>
with the oath
<07650> (8687)_:
wherefore he put forth
<07971> (8799)
the end
<07097>
of the rod
<04294>
that [was] in his hand
<03027>_,
and dipped
<02881> (8799)
it in an honeycomb
<03295> <01706>_,
and put
<07725> (8686)
his hand
<03027>
to his mouth
<06310>_;
and his eyes
<05869>
were enlightened
<0215> (8799)_.
14:28
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
one
<0376>
of the people
<05971>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy father
<01>
straitly
<07650> (8687)
charged
<07650> (0)
the people
<05971>
with an oath
<07650> (8689)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] the man
<0376>
that eateth
<0398> (8799)
[any] food
<03899>
this day
<03117>_.
And the people
<05971>
were faint
<05774> (8799)_.
{faint: or, weary}
14:29
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Jonathan
<03129>_,
My father
<01>
hath troubled
<05916> (8804)
the land
<0776>_:
see
<07200> (8798)_,
I pray you, how mine eyes
<05869>
have been enlightened
<0215> (8804)_,
because I tasted
<02938> (8804)
a little
<04592>
of this honey
<01706>_.
14:30
How much more
<0637>_,
if haply
<03863>
the people
<05971>
had eaten
<0398> (8804)
freely
<0398> (8800)
to day
<03117>
of the spoil
<07998>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)
which they found
<04672> (8804)_?
for had there not been now a much greater
<07235> (8804)
slaughter
<04347>
among the Philistines
<06430>_?
14:31
And they smote
<05221> (8686)
the Philistines
<06430>
that day
<03117>
from Michmash
<04363>
to Aijalon
<0357>_:
and the people
<05971>
were very
<03966>
faint
<05774> (8799)_.
14:32
And the people
<05971>
flew
<05860> (8799) <06213> (8799)
upon the spoil
<07998>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
sheep
<06629>_,
and oxen
<01241>_,
and calves
<01121>_,
and slew
<07819> (8799)
[them] on the ground
<0776>_:
and the people
<05971>
did eat
<0398> (8799)
[them] with the blood
<01818>_.
14:33
Then they told
<05046> (8686)
Saul
<07586>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, the people
<05971>
sin
<02398> (8802)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
in that they eat
<0398> (8800)
with the blood
<01818>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Ye have transgressed
<0898> (8804)_:
roll
<01556> (8798)
a great
<01419>
stone
<068>
unto me this day
<03117>_.
{transgressed: or, dealt treacherously}
14:34
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Disperse
<06327> (8798)
yourselves among the people
<05971>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Bring me hither
<05066> (8685)
every man
<0376>
his ox
<07794>_,
and every man
<0376>
his sheep
<07716>_,
and slay
<07819> (8804)
[them] here, and eat
<0398> (8804)_;
and sin
<02398> (8799)
not against the LORD
<03068>
in eating
<0398> (8800)
with the blood
<01818>_.
And all the people
<05971>
brought
<05066> (8686)
every man
<0376>
his ox
<07794>
with him
<03027>
that night
<03915>_,
and slew
<07819> (8799)
[them] there. {with him: Heb. in his hand}
14:35
And Saul
<07586>
built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
the same was the first
<02490> (8689)
altar
<04196>
that he built
<01129> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{the same...: Heb. that altar he began to build unto the LORD}
14:36
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let us go down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>
by night
<03915>_,
and spoil
<0962> (8799)
them until the morning
<01242>
light
<0216>_,
and let us not leave
<07604> (8686)
a man
<0376>
of them. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Do
<06213> (8798)
whatsoever seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee. Then said
<0559> (8799)
the priest
<03548>_,
Let us draw near
<07126> (8799)
hither
<01988>
unto God
<0430>_.
14:37
And Saul
<07586>
asked
<07592> (8799)
counsel of God
<0430>_,
Shall I go down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_?
wilt thou deliver
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_?
But he answered
<06030> (8804)
him not that day
<03117>_.
14:38
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Draw ye near
<05066> (8798)
hither
<01988>_,
all the chief
<06438>
of the people
<05971>_:
and know
<03045> (8798)
and see
<07200> (8798)
wherein
<04100>
this sin
<02403>
hath been this day
<03117>_.
{chief: Heb. corners}
14:39
For, [as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
which saveth
<03467> (8688)
Israel
<03478>_,
though it be
<03426>
in Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>_,
he shall surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_.
But [there was] not a man among all the people
<05971>
[that] answered
<06030> (8802)
him.
14:40
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto all Israel
<03478>_,
Be ye on one
<0259>
side
<05676>_,
and I and Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>
will be on the other
<0259>
side
<05676>_.
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Do
<06213> (8798)
what seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee.
14:41
Therefore Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
a perfect
<08549>
[lot]. And Saul
<07586>
and Jonathan
<03129>
were taken
<03920> (8735)_:
but the people
<05971>
escaped
<03318> (8804)_.
{Give...: or, Shew the innocent} {escaped: Heb. went forth}
14:42
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cast
<05307> (8685)
[lots] between me and Jonathan
<03129>
my son
<01121>_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_.
14:43
Then Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jonathan
<03129>_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
me what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_.
And Jonathan
<03129>
told
<05046> (8686)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I did but
<02938> (8800)
taste
<02938> (8804)
a little
<04592>
honey
<01706>
with the end
<07097>
of the rod
<04294>
that [was] in mine hand
<03027>_,
[and], lo
<02009>_,
I must die
<04191> (8799)_.
14:44
And Saul
<07586>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
do so
<06213> (8799)
and more also
<03254> (8686)_:
for thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_,
Jonathan
<03129>_.
14:45
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Shall Jonathan
<03129>
die
<04191> (8799)_,
who hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
this great
<01419>
salvation
<03444>
in Israel
<03478>_?
God forbid
<02486>_:
[as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
there shall not one hair
<08185>
of his head
<07218>
fall
<05307> (8799)
to the ground
<0776>_;
for he hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
with God
<0430>
this day
<03117>_.
So the people
<05971>
rescued
<06299> (8799)
Jonathan
<03129>_,
that he died
<04191> (8804)
not.
14:46
Then Saul
<07586>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from following
<0310>
the Philistines
<06430>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
went
<01980> (8804)
to their own place
<04725>_.
14:47
So Saul
<07586>
took
<03920> (8804)
the kingdom
<04410>
over Israel
<03478>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against all his enemies
<0341> (8802)
on every side
<05439>_,
against Moab
<04124>_,
and against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and against Edom
<0123>_,
and against the kings
<04428>
of Zobah
<06678>_,
and against the Philistines
<06430>_:
and whithersoever he turned
<06437> (8799)
himself, he vexed
<07561> (8686)
[them].
14:48
And he gathered
<06213> (8799)
an host
<02428>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8686)
Israel
<03478>
out of the hands
<03027>
of them that spoiled
<08154> (8802)
them. {gathered...: or, wrought mightily}
14:49
Now the sons
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>
were Jonathan
<03129>_,
and Ishui
<03440>_,
and Melchishua
<04444>_:
and the names
<08034>
of his two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>
[were these]; the name
<08034>
of the firstborn
<01067>
Merab
<04764>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the younger
<06996>
Michal
<04324>_:
14:50
And the name
<08034>
of Saul's
<07586>
wife
<0802>
[was] Ahinoam
<0293>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Ahimaaz
<0290>_:
and the name
<08034>
of the captain
<08269>
of his host
<06635>
[was] Abner
<074>_,
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
Saul's
<07586>
uncle
<01730>_.
{Abner: Heb. Abiner}
14:51
And Kish
<07027>
[was] the father
<01>
of Saul
<07586>_;
and Ner
<05369>
the father
<01>
of Abner
<074>
[was] the son
<01121>
of Abiel
<022>_.
14:52
And there was sore
<02389>
war
<04421>
against the Philistines
<06430>
all the days
<03117>
of Saul
<07586>_:
and when Saul
<07586>
saw
<07200> (8804)
any strong
<01368>
man
<0376>_,
or any valiant
<02428>
man
<01121>_,
he took
<0622> (8799)
him unto him.
15:1
Samuel
<08050>
also said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
The LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8804)
me to anoint
<04886> (8800)
thee [to be] king
<04428>
over his people
<05971>_,
over Israel
<03478>_:
now therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)
thou unto the voice
<06963>
of the words
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
15:2
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
I remember
<06485> (8804)
[that] which Amalek
<06002>
did
<06213> (8804)
to Israel
<03478>_,
how he laid
<07760> (8804)
[wait] for him in the way
<01870>_,
when he came up
<05927> (8800)
from Egypt
<04714>_.
15:3
Now go
<03212> (8798)
and smite
<05221> (8689)
Amalek
<06002>_,
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
all that they have, and spare
<02550> (8799)
them not; but slay
<04191> (8689)
both man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_,
infant
<05768>
and suckling
<03243> (8802)_,
ox
<07794>
and sheep
<07716>_,
camel
<01581>
and ass
<02543>_.
15:4
And Saul
<07586>
gathered
<08085> (0)
the people
<05971>
together
<08085> (8762)_,
and numbered
<06485> (8799)
them in Telaim
<02923>_,
two hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<07273>_,
and ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_.
15:5
And Saul
<07586>
came
<0935> (8799)
to a city
<05892>
of Amalek
<06002>_,
and laid wait
<07378> (8799) <0693> (8686)
in the valley
<05158>_.
{laid...: or, fought}
15:6
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the Kenites
<07017>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_,
depart
<05493> (8798)_,
get you down
<03381> (8798)
from among
<08432>
the Amalekites
<06002>_,
lest I destroy
<0622> (8799)
you with them: for ye shewed
<06213> (8804)
kindness
<02617>
to all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
when they came up
<05927> (8800)
out of Egypt
<04714>_.
So the Kenites
<07017>
departed
<05493> (8799)
from among
<08432>
the Amalekites
<06003>_.
15:7
And Saul
<07586>
smote
<05221> (8686)
the Amalekites
<06002>
from Havilah
<02341>
[until] thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to Shur
<07793>_,
that [is] over against
<06440>
Egypt
<04714>_.
15:8
And he took
<08610> (8799)
Agag
<090>
the king
<04428>
of the Amalekites
<06002>
alive
<02416>_,
and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
all the people
<05971>
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_.
15:9
But Saul
<07586>
and the people
<05971>
spared
<02550> (8799)
Agag
<090>_,
and the best
<04315>
of the sheep
<06629>_,
and of the oxen
<01241>_,
and of the fatlings
<04932>_,
and the lambs
<03733>_,
and all [that was] good
<02896>_,
and would
<014> (8804)
not utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)
them: but every thing
<04399>
[that was] vile
<05240>
and refuse
<04549> (8738)_,
that they destroyed utterly
<02763> (8689)_.
{fatlings: or, second sort}
15:10
Then came the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
15:11
It repenteth
<05162> (8738)
me that I have set up
<04427> (8689)
Saul
<07586>
[to be] king
<04428>_:
for he is turned back
<07725> (8804)
from following
<0310>
me, and hath not performed
<06965> (8689)
my commandments
<01697>_.
And it grieved
<02734> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_;
and he cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
all night
<03915>_.
15:12
And when Samuel
<08050>
rose early
<07925> (8686)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Saul
<07586>
in the morning
<01242>_,
it was told
<05046> (8714)
Samuel
<08050>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Saul
<07586>
came
<0935> (8804)
to Carmel
<03760>_,
and, behold, he set him up
<05324> (8688)
a place
<03027>_,
and is gone about
<05437> (8735)_,
and passed on
<05674> (8799)_,
and gone down
<03381> (8799)
to Gilgal
<01537>_.
15:13
And Samuel
<08050>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Saul
<07586>_:
and Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] thou of the LORD
<03068>_:
I have performed
<06965> (8689)
the commandment
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
15:14
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [meaneth] then this bleating
<06963>
of the sheep
<06629>
in mine ears
<0241>_,
and the lowing
<06963>
of the oxen
<01241>
which I hear
<08085> (8802)_?
15:15
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They have brought
<0935> (8689)
them from the Amalekites
<06003>_:
for the people
<05971>
spared
<02550> (8804)
the best
<04315>
of the sheep
<06629>
and of the oxen
<01241>_,
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_;
and the rest
<03498> (8802)
we have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_.
15:16
Then Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
Stay
<07503> (8685)_,
and I will tell
<05046> (8686)
thee what the LORD
<03068>
hath said
<01696> (8765)
to me this night
<03915>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Say on
<01696> (8761)_.
15:17
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
When thou [wast] little
<06996>
in thine own sight
<05869>_,
[wast] thou not [made] the head
<07218>
of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
anointed
<04886> (8799)
thee king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_?
15:18
And the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
thee on a journey
<01870>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8689)
the sinners
<02400>
the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and fight
<03898> (8738)
against them until they be consumed
<03615> (8763)_.
{they...: Heb. they consume them}
15:19
Wherefore then didst thou not obey
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
but didst fly
<05860> (8799)
upon the spoil
<07998>_,
and didst
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
15:20
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
Yea, I have obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and have gone
<03212> (8799)
the way
<01870>
which the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8804)
me, and have brought
<0935> (8686)
Agag
<090>
the king
<04428>
of Amalek
<06002>_,
and have utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)
the Amalekites
<06002>_.
15:21
But the people
<05971>
took
<03947> (8799)
of the spoil
<07998>_,
sheep
<06629>
and oxen
<01241>_,
the chief
<07225>
of the things which should have been utterly destroyed
<02764>_,
to sacrifice
<02076> (8800)
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
in Gilgal
<01537>_.
15:22
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hath the LORD
<03068>
[as great] delight
<02656>
in burnt offerings
<05930>
and sacrifices
<02077>_,
as in obeying
<08085> (8800)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>_?
Behold, to obey
<08085> (8800)
[is] better
<02896>
than sacrifice
<02077>_,
[and] to hearken
<07181> (8687)
than the fat
<02459>
of rams
<0352>_.
15:23
For rebellion
<04805>
[is as] the sin
<02403>
of witchcraft
<07081>_,
and stubbornness
<06484> (8687)
[is as] iniquity
<0205>
and idolatry
<08655>_.
Because thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
he hath also rejected
<03988> (8799)
thee from [being] king
<04428>_.
{witchcraft: Heb. divination}
15:24
And Saul
<07586>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samuel
<08050>_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:
for I have transgressed
<05674> (8804)
the commandment
<06310>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and thy words
<01697>_:
because I feared
<03372> (8804)
the people
<05971>_,
and obeyed
<08085> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_.
15:25
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon
<05375> (8798)
my sin
<02403>_,
and turn again
<07725> (8798)
with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_.
15:26
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Saul
<07586>_,
I will not return
<07725> (8799)
with thee: for thou hast rejected
<03988> (8804)
the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
hath rejected
<03988> (8799)
thee from being king
<04428>
over Israel
<03478>_.
15:27
And as Samuel
<08050>
turned about
<05437> (8735)
to go away
<03212> (8800)_,
he laid hold
<02388> (8686)
upon the skirt
<03671>
of his mantle
<04598>_,
and it rent
<07167> (8735)_.
15:28
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
hath rent
<07167> (8804)
the kingdom
<04468>
of Israel
<03478>
from thee this day
<03117>_,
and hath given
<05414> (8804)
it to a neighbour
<07453>
of thine, [that is] better
<02896>
than thou.
15:29
And also the Strength
<05331>
of Israel
<03478>
will not lie
<08266> (8762)
nor repent
<05162> (8735)_:
for he [is] not a man
<0120>_,
that he should repent
<05162> (8736)_.
{Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}
15:30
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:
[yet] honour
<03513> (8761)
me now, I pray thee, before the elders
<02205>
of my people
<05971>_,
and before Israel
<03478>_,
and turn again
<07725> (8798)
with me, that I may worship
<07812> (8694)
the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>_.
15:31
So Samuel
<08050>
turned again
<07725> (8799)
after
<0310>
Saul
<07586>_;
and Saul
<07586>
worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_.
15:32
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Samuel
<08050>_,
Bring ye hither
<05066> (8685)
to me Agag
<090>
the king
<04428>
of the Amalekites
<06002>_.
And Agag
<090>
came
<03212> (8799)
unto him delicately
<04574>_.
And Agag
<090>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<0403>
the bitterness
<04751>
of death
<04194>
is past
<05493> (8804)_.
15:33
And Samuel
<08050>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
As thy sword
<02719>
hath made women
<0802>
childless
<07921> (8765)_,
so shall thy mother
<0517>
be childless
<07921> (8799)
among women
<0802>_.
And Samuel
<08050>
hewed
<08158> (0)
Agag
<090>
in pieces
<08158> (8762)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
in Gilgal
<01537>_.
15:34
Then Samuel
<08050>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Ramah
<07414>_;
and Saul
<07586>
went up
<05927> (8804)
to his house
<01004>
to Gibeah
<01390>
of Saul
<07586>_.
15:35
And Samuel
<08050>
came no more
<03254> (8804)
to see
<07200> (8800)
Saul
<07586>
until the day
<03117>
of his death
<04194>_:
nevertheless
<03588>
Samuel
<08050>
mourned
<056> (8694)
for Saul
<07586>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
repented
<05162> (8738)
that he had made Saul
<07586>
king
<04427> (8689)
over Israel
<03478>_.
