H3117
Now it came to pass upon a day
H3129
, that Jonathan
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H5288
unto the young man
H5375
that bare
[H8802]
H3627
his armour
H3212
, Come
[H8798]
H5674
, and let us go over
[H8799]
H6430
to the Philistines
H4673
' garrison
H5676
, that is on the other side
H1975
H5046
. But he told
[H8689]
H1
not his father.
2
H7586
And Saul
H3427
tarried
[H8802]
H7097
in the uttermost
H1390
part of Gibeah
H7416
under a pomegranate tree
H4051
which is in Migron
H5971
: and the people
H8337
that were with him were about six
H3967
hundred
H376
men;
3
H281
And Ahiah
H1121
, the son
H285
of Ahitub
H350
, Ichabod's
H251
brother
H1121
, the son
H6372
of Phinehas
H1121
, the son
H5941
of Eli
H3068
, the LORD'S
H3548
priest
H7887
in Shiloh
H5375
, wearing
[H8802]
H646
an ephod
H5971
. And the people
H3045
knew
[H8804]
H3129
not that Jonathan
H1980
was gone
[H8804]
.
4
H4569
And between the passages
H3129
, by which Jonathan
H1245
sought
[H8765]
H5674
to go over
[H8800]
H6430
unto the Philistines
H4673
' garrison
H8127
, there was a sharp
H5553
rock
H5676
on the one side
H8127
, and a sharp
H5553
rock
H5676
on the other side
H8034
: and the name
H259
of the one
H949
was Bozez
H8034
, and the name
H259
of the other
H5573
Seneh.
5
H8127
The forefront
H259
of the one
H4690
was situate
H6828
northward
H4136
over against
H4363
Michmash
H259
, and the other
H5045
southward
H4136
over against
H1387
Gibeah.
6
H3083
And Jonathan
H559
said
[H8799]
H5288
to the young man
H5375
that bare
[H8802]
H3627
his armour
H3212
, Come
[H8798]
H5674
, and let us go over
[H8799]
H4673
unto the garrison
H6189
of these uncircumcised
H3068
: it may be that the LORD
H6213
will work
[H8799]
H4622
for us: for there is no restraint
H3068
to the LORD
H3467
to save
[H8687]
H7227
by many
H4592
or by few.
7
H5375
And his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
H559
said
[H8799]
H6213
unto him, Do
[H8798]
H3824
all that is in thine heart
H5186
: turn
[H8798]
H3824
thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
8
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H3083
Jonathan
H5674
, Behold, we will pass over
[H8802]
H582
unto these men
H1540
, and we will discover
[H8738]
ourselves unto them.
9
H559
If they say
[H8799]
H1826
thus unto us, Tarry
[H8798]
H5060
until we come
[H8687]
H5975
to you; then we will stand still
[H8804]
H5927
in our place, and will not go up
[H8799]
unto them.
10
H559
But if they say
[H8799]
H5927
thus, Come up
[H8798]
H5927
unto us; then we will go up
[H8804]
H3068
: for the LORD
H5414
hath delivered
[H8804]
H3027
them into our hand
H226
: and this shall be a sign unto us.
11
H8147
And both
H1540
of them discovered
[H8735]
H4673
themselves unto the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines
H6430
: and the Philistines
H559
said
[H8799]
H5680
, Behold, the Hebrews
H3318
come forth
[H8802]
H2356
out of the holes
H2244
where they had hid
[H8694]
themselves.
12
H582
And the men
H4675
of the garrison
H6030
answered
[H8799]
H3129
Jonathan
H5375
and his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H5927
, Come up
[H8798]
H3045
to us, and we will shew
[H8686]
H1697
you a thing
H3129
. And Jonathan
H559
said
[H8799]
H5375
unto his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
H5927
, Come up
[H8798]
H310
after
H3068
me: for the LORD
H5414
hath delivered
[H8804]
H3027
them into the hand
H3478
of Israel.
13
H3129
And Jonathan
H5927
climbed up
[H8799]
H3027
upon his hands
H7272
and upon his feet
H5375
, and his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
H310
after
H5307
him: and they fell
[H8799]
H6440
before
H3129
Jonathan
H5375
; and his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
H4191
slew
[H8789]
H310
after him.
14
H7223
And that first
H4347
slaughter
H3129
, which Jonathan
H5375
and his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
H5221
made
[H8689]
H6242
, was about twenty
H376
men
H2677
, within as it were an half
H4618
acre
H7704
of land
H6776
, which a yoke of oxen might plow .
15
H2731
And there was trembling
H4264
in the host
H7704
, in the field
H5971
, and among all the people
H4673
: the garrison
H7843
, and the spoilers
[H8688]
H2729
, they also trembled
[H8804]
H776
, and the earth
H7264
quaked
[H8799]
H430
: so it was a very great
H2731
trembling.
16
H6822
And the watchmen
[H8802]
H7586
of Saul
H1390
in Gibeah
H1144
of Benjamin
H7200
looked
[H8799]
H1995
; and, behold, the multitude
H4127
melted away
[H8738]
H3212
, and they went
[H8799]
H1986
on beating down
[H8800]
one another .
17
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H7586
Saul
H5971
unto the people
H6485
that were with him, Number
[H8798]
H7200
now, and see
[H8798]
H1980
who is gone
[H8804]
H6485
from us. And when they had numbered
[H8799]
H3129
, behold, Jonathan
H5375
and his armourbearer
[H8802]
H3627
were not there .
18
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H281
unto Ahiah
H5066
, Bring hither
[H8685]
H727
the ark
H430
of God
H727
. For the ark
H430
of God
H3117
was at that time
H1121
with the children
H3478
of Israel.
19
H7586
And it came to pass, while Saul
H1696
talked
[H8765]
H3548
unto the priest
H1995
, that the noise
H4264
that was in the host
H6430
of the Philistines
H3212
went
[H8799]
H1980
on
[H8800]
H7227
and increased
H7586
: and Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H3548
unto the priest
H622
, Withdraw
[H8798]
H3027
thine hand.
20
H7586
And Saul
H5971
and all the people
H2199
that were with him assembled
[H8735]
H935
themselves, and they came
[H8799]
H4421
to the battle
H376
: and, behold, every man's
H2719
sword
H7453
was against his fellow
H3966
, and there was a very
H1419
great
H4103
discomfiture.
21
H5680
Moreover the Hebrews
H6430
that were with the Philistines
H865
before
H8032
that time
H5927
, which went up
[H8804]
H4264
with them into the camp
H5439
from the country round about
H3478
, even they also turned to be with the Israelites
H7586
that were with Saul
H3129
and Jonathan.
22
H376
Likewise all the men
H3478
of Israel
H2244
which had hid
[H8693]
H2022
themselves in mount
H669
Ephraim
H8085
, when they heard
[H8804]
H6430
that the Philistines
H5127
fled
[H8804]
H1692
, even they also followed hard
[H8686]
H310
after
H4421
them in the battle.
23
H3068
So the LORD
H3467
saved
[H8686]
H3478
Israel
H3117
that day
H4421
: and the battle
H5674
passed over
[H8804]
H1007
unto Bethaven.
24
H376
And the men
H3478
of Israel
H5065
were distressed
[H8738]
H3117
that day
H7586
: for Saul
H422
had adjured
[H8686]
H5971
the people
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H779
, Cursed
[H8803]
H376
be the man
H398
that eateth
[H8799]
H3899
any food
H6153
until evening
H5358
, that I may be avenged
[H8738]
H341
on mine enemies
[H8802]
H5971
. So none of the people
H2938
tasted
[H8804]
H3899
any food.
25
H776
And all they of the land
H935
came
[H8804]
H3293
to a wood
H1706
; and there was honey
H6440
upon
H7704
the ground.
26
H5971
And when the people
H935
were come
[H8799]
H3293
into the wood
H1706
, behold, the honey
H1982
dropped
H5381
; but no man put
[H8688]
H3027
his hand
H6310
to his mouth
H5971
: for the people
H3372
feared
[H8804]
H7621
the oath.
27
H3129
But Jonathan
H8085
heard
[H8804]
H1
not when his father
H7650
charged
H5971
the people
H7650
with the oath
[H8687]
H7971
: wherefore he put forth
[H8799]
H7097
the end
H4294
of the rod
H3027
that was in his hand
H2881
, and dipped
[H8799]
H3295
it in an honeycomb
H1706
H7725
, and put
[H8686]
H3027
his hand
H6310
to his mouth
H5869
; and his eyes
H215
were enlightened
[H8799]
.
28
H6030
Then answered
[H8799]
H376
one
H5971
of the people
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H1
, Thy father
H7650
straitly
[H8687]
H7650
charged
H5971
the people
H7650
with an oath
[H8689]
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H779
, Cursed
[H8803]
H376
be the man
H398
that eateth
[H8799]
H3899
any food
H3117
this day
H5971
. And the people
H5774
were faint
[H8799]
.
29
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H3129
Jonathan
H1
, My father
H5916
hath troubled
[H8804]
H776
the land
H7200
: see
[H8798]
H5869
, I pray you, how mine eyes
H215
have been enlightened
[H8804]
H2938
, because I tasted
[H8804]
H4592
a little
H1706
of this honey.
30
H637
How much more
H3863
, if haply
H5971
the people
H398
had eaten
[H8804]
H398
freely
[H8800]
H3117
to day
H7998
of the spoil
H341
of their enemies
[H8802]
H4672
which they found
[H8804]
H7235
? for had there not been now a much greater
[H8804]
H4347
slaughter
H6430
among the Philistines?
31
H5221
And they smote
[H8686]
H6430
the Philistines
H3117
that day
H4363
from Michmash
H357
to Aijalon
H5971
: and the people
H3966
were very
H5774
faint
[H8799]
.
32
H5971
And the people
H5860
flew
[H8799]
H6213
[H8799]
H7998
upon the spoil
H3947
, and took
[H8799]
H6629
sheep
H1241
, and oxen
H1121
, and calves
H7819
, and slew
[H8799]
H776
them on the ground
H5971
: and the people
H398
did eat
[H8799]
H1818
them with the blood.
33
H5046
Then they told
[H8686]
H7586
Saul
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H5971
, Behold, the people
H2398
sin
[H8802]
H3068
against the LORD
H398
, in that they eat
[H8800]
H1818
with the blood
H559
. And he said
[H8799]
H898
, Ye have transgressed
[H8804]
H1556
: roll
[H8798]
H1419
a great
H68
stone
H3117
unto me this day.
34
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H6327
, Disperse
[H8798]
H5971
yourselves among the people
H559
, and say
[H8804]
H5066
unto them, Bring me hither
[H8685]
H376
every man
H7794
his ox
H376
, and every man
H7716
his sheep
H7819
, and slay
[H8804]
H398
them here, and eat
[H8804]
H2398
; and sin
[H8799]
H3068
not against the LORD
H398
in eating
[H8800]
H1818
with the blood
H5971
. And all the people
H5066
brought
[H8686]
H376
every man
H7794
his ox
H3027
with him
H3915
that night
H7819
, and slew
[H8799]
them there.
35
H7586
And Saul
H1129
built
[H8799]
H4196
an altar
H3068
unto the LORD
H2490
: the same was the first
[H8689]
H4196
altar
H1129
that he built
[H8800]
H3068
unto the LORD.
36
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H3381
, Let us go down
[H8799]
H310
after
H6430
the Philistines
H3915
by night
H962
, and spoil
[H8799]
H1242
them until the morning
H216
light
H7604
, and let us not leave
[H8686]
H376
a man
H559
of them. And they said
[H8799]
H6213
, Do
[H8798]
H5869
whatsoever seemeth
H2896
good
H559
unto thee. Then said
[H8799]
H3548
the priest
H7126
, Let us draw near
[H8799]
H1988
hither
H430
unto God.
37
H7586
And Saul
H7592
asked
[H8799]
H430
counsel of God
H3381
, Shall I go down
[H8799]
H310
after
H6430
the Philistines
H5414
? wilt thou deliver
[H8799]
H3027
them into the hand
H3478
of Israel
H6030
? But he answered
[H8804]
H3117
him not that day.
38
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H5066
, Draw ye near
[H8798]
H1988
hither
H6438
, all the chief
H5971
of the people
H3045
: and know
[H8798]
H7200
and see
[H8798]
H4100
wherein
H2403
this sin
H3117
hath been this day.
39
H3068
For, as the LORD
H2416
liveth
H3467
, which saveth
[H8688]
H3478
Israel
H3426
, though it be
H3129
in Jonathan
H1121
my son
H4191
, he shall surely
[H8800]
H4191
die
[H8799]
H5971
. But there was not a man among all the people
H6030
that answered
[H8802]
him.
40
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H3478
he unto all Israel
H259
, Be ye on one
H5676
side
H3129
, and I and Jonathan
H1121
my son
H259
will be on the other
H5676
side
H5971
. And the people
H559
said
[H8799]
H7586
unto Saul
H6213
, Do
[H8798]
H5869
what seemeth
H2896
good unto thee.
41
H7586
Therefore Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3051
, Give
[H8798]
H8549
a perfect
H7586
lot . And Saul
H3129
and Jonathan
H3920
were taken
[H8735]
H5971
: but the people
H3318
escaped
[H8804]
.
42
H7586
And Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H5307
, Cast
[H8685]
H3129
lots between me and Jonathan
H1121
my son
H3129
. And Jonathan
H3920
was taken
[H8735]
.
43
H7586
Then Saul
H559
said
[H8799]
H3129
to Jonathan
H5046
, Tell
[H8685]
H6213
me what thou hast done
[H8804]
H3129
. And Jonathan
H5046
told
[H8686]
H559
him, and said
[H8799]
H2938
, I did but
[H8800]
H2938
taste
[H8804]
H4592
a little
H1706
honey
H7097
with the end
H4294
of the rod
H3027
that was in mine hand
H2009
, and, lo
H4191
, I must die
[H8799]
.
44
H7586
And Saul
H559
answered
[H8799]
H430
, God
H6213
do so
[H8799]
H3254
and more also
[H8686]
H4191
: for thou shalt surely
[H8800]
H4191
die
[H8799]
H3129
, Jonathan.
45
H5971
And the people
H559
said
[H8799]
H7586
unto Saul
H3129
, Shall Jonathan
H4191
die
[H8799]
H6213
, who hath wrought
[H8804]
H1419
this great
H3444
salvation
H3478
in Israel
H2486
? God forbid
H3068
: as the LORD
H2416
liveth
H8185
, there shall not one hair
H7218
of his head
H5307
fall
[H8799]
H776
to the ground
H6213
; for he hath wrought
[H8804]
H430
with God
H3117
this day
H5971
. So the people
H6299
rescued
[H8799]
H3129
Jonathan
H4191
, that he died
[H8804]
not.
46
H7586
Then Saul
H5927
went up
[H8799]
H310
from following
H6430
the Philistines
H6430
: and the Philistines
H1980
went
[H8804]
H4725
to their own place.
47
H7586
So Saul
H3920
took
[H8804]
H4410
the kingdom
H3478
over Israel
H3898
, and fought
[H8735]
H341
against all his enemies
[H8802]
H5439
on every side
H4124
, against Moab
H1121
, and against the children
H5983
of Ammon
H123
, and against Edom
H4428
, and against the kings
H6678
of Zobah
H6430
, and against the Philistines
H6437
: and whithersoever he turned
[H8799]
H7561
himself, he vexed
[H8686]
them .
48
H6213
And he gathered
[H8799]
H2428
an host
H5221
, and smote
[H8686]
H6002
the Amalekites
H5337
, and delivered
[H8686]
H3478
Israel
H3027
out of the hands
H8154
of them that spoiled
[H8802]
them.
49
H1121
Now the sons
H7586
of Saul
H3129
were Jonathan
H3440
, and Ishui
H4444
, and Melchishua
H8034
: and the names
H8147
of his two
H1323
daughters
H8034
were these; the name
H1067
of the firstborn
H4764
Merab
H8034
, and the name
H6996
of the younger
H4324
Michal:
50
H8034
And the name
H7586
of Saul's
H802
wife
H293
was Ahinoam
H1323
, the daughter
H290
of Ahimaaz
H8034
: and the name
H8269
of the captain
H6635
of his host
H74
was Abner
H1121
, the son
H5369
of Ner
H7586
, Saul's
H1730
uncle.
