[1]SaulH7586 reignedH4427[H8800] one yearH1121[H8141]; and when he had reignedH4427[H8804] twoH8147 yearsH8141 over IsraelH3478,
[2]SaulH7586 choseH977[H8799] him threeH7969 thousandH505 men of IsraelH3478; whereof two thousandH505 were with SaulH7586 in MichmashH4363 and in mountH2022 BethelH1008, and a thousandH505 were with JonathanH3129 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144: and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971 he sentH7971[H8765] every manH376 to his tentH168.
[3]And JonathanH3129 smoteH5221[H8686] the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430 that was in GebaH1387, and the PhilistinesH6430 heardH8085[H8799] of it. And SaulH7586 blewH8628[H8804] the trumpetH7782 throughout all the landH776, sayingH559[H8800], Let the HebrewsH5680 hearH8085.[H8799]
[4]And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085[H8804] sayH559[H8800] that SaulH7586 had smittenH5221[H8689] a garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430, and that IsraelH3478 also was had in abominationH887[H8738] with the PhilistinesH6430. And the peopleH5971 were called togetherH6817[H8735] afterH310 SaulH7586 to GilgalH1537.
[5]And the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8738] to fightH3898[H8736] with IsraelH3478, thirtyH7970 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and sixH8337 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and peopleH5971 as the sandH2344 which is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitudeH7230: and they came upH5927[H8799], and pitchedH2583[H8799] in MichmashH4363, eastwardH6926 from BethavenH1007.
[6]When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200[H8804] that they were in a straitH6887[H8804], (for the peopleH5971 were distressedH5065[H8738],) then the peopleH5971 did hideH2244[H8691] themselves in cavesH4631, and in thicketsH2337, and in rocksH5553, and in high placesH6877, and in pitsH953.
[7]And some of the HebrewsH5680 went overH5674[H8804] JordanH3383 to the landH776 of GadH1410 and GileadH1568. As for SaulH7586, he was yet in GilgalH1537, and all the peopleH5971 followedH310 him tremblingH2729.[H8804]
[8]And he tarriedH3176[H8686][H8675][H3176][H8735] sevenH7651 daysH3117, according to the set timeH4150 that SamuelH8050 had appointed: but SamuelH8050 cameH935[H8804] not to GilgalH1537; and the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 from himH8686.
[9]And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799], Bring hitherH5066[H8685] a burnt offeringH5930 to me, and peace offeringsH8002. And he offeredH5927[H8686] the burnt offeringH5930.
[10]And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an endH3615[H8763] of offeringH5927[H8687] the burnt offeringH5930, behold, SamuelH8050 cameH935[H8802]; and SaulH7586 went outH3318[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] him, that he might saluteH1288 himH8800.
[11]And SamuelH8050 saidH559[H8799], What hast thou doneH6213[H8804]? And SaulH7586 saidH559[H8799], Because I sawH7200[H8804] that the peopleH5971 were scatteredH5310[H8804] from me, and that thou camestH935[H8804] not within the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8737] at MichmashH4363;
[12]Therefore saidH559[H8799] I, The PhilistinesH6430 will come downH3381[H8799] now upon me to GilgalH1537, and I have not made supplicationH2470[H8765] untoH6440 the LORDH3068: I forcedH662[H8691] myself therefore, and offeredH5927[H8686] a burnt offeringH5930.
[13]And SamuelH8050 saidH559[H8799] to SaulH7586, Thou hast done foolishlyH5528[H8738]: thou hast not keptH8104[H8804] the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which he commandedH6680[H8765] thee: for now would the LORDH3068 have establishedH3559[H8689] thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
[14]But now thy kingdomH4467 shall not continueH6965[H8799]: the LORDH3068 hath soughtH1245[H8765] him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and the LORDH3068 hath commandedH6680[H8762] him to be captainH5057 over his peopleH5971, because thou hast not keptH8104[H8804] that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 theeH8765.
[15]And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965[H8799], and gat him upH5927[H8799] from GilgalH1537 unto GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144. And SaulH7586 numberedH6485[H8799] the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672[H8737] with him, about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376.
[16]And SaulH7586, and JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672[H8737] with them, abodeH3427[H8802] in GibeahH1387 of BenjaminH1144: but the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583[H8804] in MichmashH4363.
[17]And the spoilersH7843[H8688] came outH3318[H8799] of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 in threeH7969 companiesH7218: oneH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437[H8799] unto the wayH1870 that leadeth to OphrahH6084, unto the landH776 of ShualH7777:
[18]And anotherH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437[H8799] the wayH1870 to BethhoronH1032: and anotherH259 companyH7218 turnedH6437[H8799] to the wayH1870 of the borderH1366 that lookethH8259[H8737] to the valleyH1516 of ZeboimH6650 toward the wildernessH4057.
[19]Now there was no smithH2796 foundH4672[H8735] throughout all the landH776 of IsraelH3478: for the PhilistinesH6430 saidH559[H8804], Lest the HebrewsH5680 makeH6213[H8799] them swordsH2719 or spearsH2595:
[20]But all the IsraelitesH3478 went downH3381[H8799] to the PhilistinesH6430, to sharpenH3913[H8800] every manH376 his shareH4282, and his coulterH855, and his axeH7134, and his mattockH4281.
[21]Yet they had a fileH6477[H6310] for the mattocksH4281, and for the coultersH855, and for the forksH7969[H7053], and for the axesH7134, and to sharpenH5324[H8687] the goadsH1861.
[22]So it came to pass in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, that there was neither swordH2719 nor spearH2595 foundH4672[H8738] in the handH3027 of any of the peopleH5971 that were with SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129: but with SaulH7586 and with JonathanH3129 his sonH1121 was there foundH4672.[H8735]
[23]And the garrisonH4673 of the PhilistinesH6430 went outH3318[H8799] to the passageH4569 of MichmashH4363.
