1 Samuel 13

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}
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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.
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>_.
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}
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>_;
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]}
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>_.
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.
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}
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}
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>_:
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>_.
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>_:
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>_.
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}
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)_.
And the garrison
<04673>
of the Philistines
<06430>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to the passage
<04569>
of Michmash
<04363>_.
{garrison: or, standing camp}
