H7586
Saul
H4427
reigned
H1121
a year;
H4427
and when he had reigned
H8147
two
H8141
years
H3478
over Israel,
2
H7586
Saul
H977
chose
H7969
for himself three
H505
thousand
H3478
men of Israel,
H505
of which two thousand
H7586
were with Saul
H4363
in Michmash
H2022
and in the Mount
H1008
of Bethel,
H505
and one 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
Jonathan
H5221
struck
H5333
the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines
H1387
that was in Geba:
H6430
and the Philistines
H8085
heard
H7586
of it. Saul
H8628
blew
H7782
the trumpet
H776
throughout all the land,
H559
saying,
H5680
"Let the Hebrews
H8085
hear!"
4
H3478
All Israel
H8085
heard
H559
that
H7586
Saul
H5221
had struck
H5333
the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines,
H3478
and also that Israel
H887
was had in abomination
H6430
with the Philistines.
H5971
The people
H6817
were gathered together
H310
after
H7586
Saul
H1537
to Gilgal.
5
H6430
The Philistines
H622
assembled themselves together
H3898
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
H3220
which is on the seashore
H8193
H7230
in multitude:
H5927
and they came up,
H2583
and encamped
H4363
in Michmash,
H6926
eastward
H1007
of Beth Aven.
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
hid
H4631
themselves in caves,
H2337
and in thickets,
H5553
and in rocks,
H6877
and in coverts,
H953
and in pits.
7
H5680
Now some of the Hebrews
H5674
had gone over
H3383
the Jordan
H776
to the land
H1410
of Gad
H1568
and Gilead;
H7586
but as for Saul,
H1537
he was yet in Gilgal,
H5971
and all the people
H310
followed
H2729
him trembling.
8
H3176
He stayed
H7651
seven
H3117
days,
H4150
according to the time
H8050
set by Samuel:
H8050
but Samuel
H935
didn't come
H1537
to Gilgal;
H5971
and the people
H6327
were scattered from him.
9
H7586
Saul
H559
said,
H5066
"Bring here
H5930
the burnt offering
H8002
to me, and the peace offerings."
H5927
He offered
H5930
the burnt offering.
10
H3615
It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end
H5927
of offering
H5927
the burnt offering,
H8050
behold, Samuel
H935
came;
H7586
and Saul
H3318
went out
H7125
to meet
H1288
him, that he might greet him.
11
H8050
Samuel
H559
said,
H6213
"What have you done?"
H7586
Saul
H559
said,
H7200
"Because I saw
H5971
that the people
H5310
were scattered
H935
from me, and that you didn't come
H3117
within the days
H4150
appointed,
H6430
and that the Philistines
H622
assembled themselves together
H4363
at Michmash;
12
H559
therefore I said,
H6430
‘Now the Philistines
H3381
will come down
H1537
on me to Gilgal,
H2470
and I haven't entreated
H6440
the favor of
H3068
Yahweh.'
H662
I forced
H5927
myself therefore, and offered
H5930
the burnt offering."
13
H8050
Samuel
H559
said
H7586
to Saul,
H5528
"You have done foolishly.
H8104
You have not kept
H4687
the commandment
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
your God,
H6680
which he commanded
H3068
you; for now Yahweh
H3559
would have established
H4467
your kingdom
H3478
on Israel
H5704
H5769
forever.
14
H4467
But now your kingdom
H6965
shall not continue.
H3068
Yahweh
H1245
has sought
H376
for himself a man
H3824
after his own heart,
H3068
and Yahweh
H6680
has appointed
H5057
him to be prince
H5971
over his people,
H8104
because you have not kept
H3068
that which Yahweh
H6680
commanded you."
15
H8050
Samuel
H6965
arose,
H5927
and went
H1537
from Gilgal
H1390
to Gibeah
H1144
of Benjamin.
H7586
Saul
H6485
numbered
H5971
the people
H4672
who were present
H8337
with him, about six
H3967
hundred
H376
men.
16
H7586
Saul,
H3129
and Jonathan
H1121
his son,
H5971
and the people
H4672
who were present
H3427
with them, stayed
H1387
in Geba
H1144
of Benjamin:
H6430
but the Philistines
H2583
encamped
H4363
in Michmash.
17
H7843
The spoilers
H3318
came out
H4264
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 Beth Horon;
H259
and another
H7218
company
H6437
turned
H1870
the way
H1366
of the border
H8259
that looks
H1516
down on the valley
H6650
of Zeboim
H4057
toward the wilderness.
19
H2796
Now there was no smith
H4672
found
H776
throughout all the land
H3478
of Israel;
H6430
for the Philistines
H559
said,
H5680
"Lest the Hebrews
H6213
make
H2719
them swords
H2595
or spears;"
20
H3478
but all the Israelites
H3381
went down
H6430
to the Philistines,
H3913
to sharpen
H376
every man
H4282
his plowshare,
H4281
mattock,
H7134
axe,
H855
and sickle;
21
H6477
yet they had a file
H4281
for the mattocks,
H855
and for the plowshares,
H7969
and for the forks,
H7134
and for the axes,
H5324
and to set
H1861
the goads.
