| All the people said to Samuel, “Pray to the Lord your God on behalf of us – your servants – so we won’t die, for we have added to all our sins by asking for a king.” 1 |

| For the battle with Israel the Philistines had amassed 3,000 1 chariots, 6,000 horsemen, and an army as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Micmash, east of Beth Aven. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 13:15 |
| Then Samuel set out and went up from Gilgal 1 to Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. 2 Saul mustered the army that remained with him; there were about six hundred men. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:1 |
| Then one day Jonathan son of Saul said to his armor bearer, 1 “Come on, let’s go over to the Philistine garrison that is opposite us.” But he did not let his father know. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:4 |
| Now there was a steep cliff on each side of the pass through which Jonathan intended to go to reach the Philistine garrison. One cliff was named Bozez, the other Seneh. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:27 |
| But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it, 1 his eyes gleamed. 2 |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:33 |
| Now it was reported to Saul, “Look, the army is sinning against the Lord by eating even the blood.” He said, “All of you have broken the covenant! 1 Roll a large stone over here to me.” |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:39 |
| For as surely as the Lord, the deliverer of Israel, lives, even if it turns out to be my own son Jonathan, he will certainly die!” But no one from the army said anything. 1 |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:43 |
| So Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” Jonathan told him, “I used the end of the staff that was in my hand to taste a little honey. I must die!” 1 |

| After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their 1 enemies on all sides – the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned he was victorious. 2 |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 14:52 |
| There was fierce war with the Philistines all the days of Saul. So whenever Saul saw anyone who was a warrior or a brave individual, he would conscript him. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 15:15 |
| Saul said, “They were brought 1 from the Amalekites; the army spared the best of the flocks and cattle to sacrifice to the Lord our God. But everything else we slaughtered.” |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 15:20 |
| Then Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed 1 the Lord! I went on the campaign 2 the Lord sent me on. I brought back King Agag of the Amalekites after exterminating the Amalekites. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 15:22 |
| Then Samuel said, “Does the Lord take pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as he does in obedience? 1 Certainly, 2 obedience 3 is better than sacrifice; paying attention is better than 4 the fat of rams. |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 15:24 |
| Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have disobeyed what the Lord commanded 1 and what you said as well. 2 For I was afraid of the army, and I followed their wishes. 3 |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 15:26 |
| Samuel said to Saul, “I will not go back with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being king over Israel!” |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 15:30 |
| Saul 1 again replied, “I have sinned. But please honor me before the elders of my people and before Israel. Go back with me so I may worship the Lord your God.” |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 16:4 |
| Samuel did what the Lord told him. 1 When he arrived in Bethlehem, 2 the elders of the city were afraid to meet him. They 3 said, “Do you come in peace?” |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 17:12 |
| 1 Now David was the son of this Ephrathite named Jesse from Bethlehem 2 in Judah. He had eight sons, and in Saul’s days he was old and well advanced in years. 3 |
| (0.55) | 1Sa 17:13 |
| Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to war. The names of the 1 three sons who went to war were Eliab, his firstborn, Abinadab, the second oldest, and Shammah, the third oldest. |
