1 Samuel 13:23--14:46

And the garrison
<04673>

of the Philistines
<06430>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to the passage
<04569>

of Michmash
<04363>_.

{garrison: or, standing camp}

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}

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>_;

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}

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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.

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}

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.

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.

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>_.

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.

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}

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}

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].

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].

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>_.

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}

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}

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>_.

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>_.

So the LORD
<03068>

saved
<03467> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

that day
<03117>_:

and the battle
<04421>

passed over
<05674> (8804)

unto Bethaven
<01007>_.

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>_.

And all [they of] the land
<0776>

came
<0935> (8804)

to a wood
<03293>_;

and there was honey
<01706>

upon
<06440>

the ground
<07704>_.

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>_.

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)_.

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}

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>_.

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>_?

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)_.

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>_.

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}

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}

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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.

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.

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}

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)_.

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)_.

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>_.

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.

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>_.
