2 H7586 Saul H977 chose H7969 him three H505 thousand H3478 men of Israel; H505 whereof two thousand H7586 were with Saul H4363 in Michmash H2022 and in mount H1008 Bethel, H505 and a thousand H3129 were with Jonathan H1390 in Gibeah H1144 of Benjamin: H3499 and the rest H5971 of the people H7971 he sent H376 every man H168 to his tent.

3 H3129 And Jonathan H5221 smote H5333 the garrison H6430 of the Philistines H1387 that was in Geba, H6430 and the Philistines H8085 heard H7586 of it. And Saul H8628 blew H7782 the trumpet H3605 throughout all H776 the land, H559 saying, H5680 Let the Hebrews H8085 hear.

4 H3605 And all H3478 Israel H8085 heard H559 say H7586 that Saul H5221 had smitten H5333 a garrison H6430 of the Philistines, H3478 and that Israel H1571 also H887 was had in abomination H6430 with the Philistines. H5971 And the people H6817 were called H310 together after H7586 Saul H1537 to Gilgal.

5 H6430 And the Philistines H622 gathered H3898 themselves together to fight H3478 with Israel, H7970 thirty H505 thousand H7393 chariots, H8337 and six H505 thousand H6571 horsemen, H5971 and people H2344 as the sand H834 which H5921 is on H3220 the sea H8193 shore H7230 in multitude: H5927 and they came H2583 up, and pitched H4363 in Michmash, H6926 eastward H1007 from Bethaven.

6 H376 When the men H3478 of Israel H7200 saw H6887 that they were in a strait, H5971 (for the people H5065 were distressed, H5971 ) then the people H2244 did hide H4631 themselves in caves, H2337 and in thickets, H5553 and in rocks, H6877 and in high H953 places, and in pits.

7 H5680 And some of the Hebrews H5674 went H5674 over H3383 Jordan H776 to the land H1410 of Gad H1568 and Gilead. H7586 As for Saul, H5750 he was yet H1537 in Gilgal, H3605 and all H5971 the people H310 followed H2729 him trembling.

8 H3176 And he tarried H7651 seven H3117 days, H4150 according to the set H8050 time that Samuel H8050 had appointed: but Samuel H935 came H1537 not to Gilgal; H5971 and the people H6327 were scattered from him.

9 H7586 And Saul H559 said, H5066 Bring H5066 here H5930 a burnt H8002 offering to me, and peace H5927 offerings. And he offered H5930 the burnt offering.

10 H1961 And it came H3615 to pass, that as soon as he had made an end H5927 of offering H5930 the burnt H2009 offering, behold, H8050 Samuel H935 came; H7586 and Saul H3318 went H7125 out to meet H1288 him, that he might salute him.

11 H8050 And Samuel H559 said, H4100 What H6213 have you done? H7586 And Saul H559 said, H3588 Because H7200 I saw H5971 that the people H5310 were scattered H935 from me, and that you came H3117 not within the days H4150 appointed, H6430 and that the Philistines H622 gathered H4363 themselves together at Michmash;

12 H559 Therefore said H6430 I, The Philistines H3381 will come H3381 down H6258 now H1537 on me to Gilgal, H2470 and I have not made supplication H3068 to the LORD: H662 I forced H5927 myself therefore, and offered H5930 a burnt offering.

13 H8050 And Samuel H559 said H7586 to Saul, H5528 You have done foolishly: H8104 you have not kept H4687 the commandment H3068 of the LORD H430 your God, H834 which H6680 he commanded H6258 you: for now H3068 would the LORD H3559 have established H4467 your kingdom H3478 on Israel H5769 for ever.

14 H6258 But now H4467 your kingdom H6965 shall not continue: H3068 the LORD H1245 has sought H376 him a man H3824 after his own heart, H3068 and the LORD H6680 has commanded H5057 him to be captain H5921 over H5971 his people, H3588 because H8104 you have not kept H834 that which H3068 the LORD H6680 commanded you.

15 H8050 And Samuel H6965 arose, H5927 and got H1537 him up from Gilgal H1390 to Gibeah H1144 of Benjamin. H7586 And Saul H6485 numbered H5971 the people H4672 that were present H8337 with him, about six H3967 hundred H376 men.

16 H7586 And Saul, H3129 and Jonathan H1121 his son, H5971 and the people H4672 that were present H3427 with them, stayed H1390 in Gibeah H1144 of Benjamin: H6430 but the Philistines H2583 encamped H4363 in Michmash.

17 H7843 And the spoilers H3318 came H4264 out of the camp H6430 of the Philistines H7969 in three H7218 companies: H259 one H7218 company H6437 turned H1870 to the way H6084 that leads to Ophrah, H776 to the land H7777 of Shual:

18 H259 And another H7218 company H6437 turned H1870 the way H1032 to Bethhoron: H259 and another H7218 company H6437 turned H1870 to the way H1366 of the border H8259 that looks H1516 to the valley H6650 of Zeboim H4057 toward the wilderness.

19 H3808 Now there was no H2796 smith H4672 found H3605 throughout all H776 the land H3478 of Israel: H6430 for the Philistines H559 said, H6435 Lest H5680 the Hebrews H6213 make H2719 them swords H176 or H2595 spears:

20 H3605 But all H3478 the Israelites H3381 went H3381 down H6430 to the Philistines, H3913 to sharpen H376 every man H4282 his share, H855 and his coulter, H7134 and his ax, H4281 and his mattock.

21 H6477 Yet they had a file H6310 H4281 for the mattocks, H855 and for the coulters, H7969 and for the forks, H7053 H7134 and for the axes, H5324 and to sharpen H1861 the goads.

22 H1961 So it came H3117 to pass in the day H4421 of battle, H3808 that there was neither H2719 sword H2595 nor spear H4672 found H3027 in the hand H3605 of any H5971 of the people H7586 that were with Saul H3129 and Jonathan: H7586 but with Saul H3129 and with Jonathan H1121 his son H4672 was there found.

23 H4673 And the garrison H6430 of the Philistines H3318 went H4569 out to the passage H4363 of Michmash.
