H3117
Now it came to pass upon a day
H3129
, that Jonathan
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H5288
to the young man
H5375 [H8802]
that bore
H3627
his armour
H3212 [H8798]
, Come
H5674 [H8799]
, and let us go over
H4673
to the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines
H5676 H1975
that is on the other side
H5046 [H8689]
. But he told
H1
not his father.
2
H7586
And Saul
H3427 [H8802]
tarried
H7097
at the edge
H1390
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 [H8802]
, wearing
H646
an ephod
H5971
. And the people
H3045 [H8804]
knew
H3129
not that Jonathan
H1980 [H8804]
was gone.
4
H4569
And on each side of the pass
H3129
, by which Jonathan
H1245 [H8765]
sought
H5674 [H8800]
to go over
H4673
to the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines
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 front
H259
of the one
H4690
rose
H6828
northward
H4136
opposite
H4363
Michmash
H259
, and the other
H5045
southward
H4136
opposite
H1387
Gibeah.
6
H3083
And Jonathan
H559 [H8799]
said
H5288
to the young man
H5375 [H8802]
that bore
H3627
his armour
H3212 [H8798]
, Come
H5674 [H8799]
, and let us go over
H4673
to the garrison
H6189
of these uncircumcised
H3068
: it may be that the LORD
H6213 [H8799]
will work
H4622
for us: for there is no restraint
H3068
to the LORD
H3467 [H8687]
to save
H7227
by many
H4592
or by few.
7
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
And his armourbearer
H559 [H8799]
said
H6213 [H8798]
to him, Do
H3824
all that is in thy heart
H5186 [H8798]
: turn
H3824
thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
8
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3083
Jonathan
H5674 [H8802]
, Behold, we will pass over
H582
to these men
H1540 [H8738]
, and we will show ourselves to them.
9
H559 [H8799]
If they say
H1826 [H8798]
thus to us, Tarry
H5060 [H8687]
until we come
H5975 [H8804]
to you; then we will stand still
H5927 [H8799]
in our place, and will not go up to them.
10
H559 [H8799]
But if they say
H5927 [H8798]
thus, Come up
H5927 [H8804]
to us; then we will go up
H3068
: for the LORD
H5414 [H8804]
hath delivered
H3027
them into our hand
H226
: and this shall be a sign to us.
11
H8147
And both
H1540 [H8735]
of them showed
H4673
themselves to the garrison
H6430
of the Philistines
H6430
: and the Philistines
H559 [H8799]
said
H5680
, Behold, the Hebrews
H3318 [H8802]
come forth
H2356
out of the holes
H2244 [H8694]
where they had hid themselves.
12
H582
And the men
H4675
of the garrison
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H3129
Jonathan
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
and his armourbearer
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H5927 [H8798]
, Come up
H3045 [H8686]
to us, and we will show
H1697
you something
H3129
. And Jonathan
H559 [H8799]
said
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
to his armourbearer
H5927 [H8798]
, Come up
H310
after
H3068
me: for the LORD
H5414 [H8804]
hath delivered
H3027
them into the hand
H3478
of Israel.
13
H3129
And Jonathan
H5927 [H8799]
climbed up
H3027
upon his hands
H7272
and upon his feet
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
, and his armourbearer
H310
after
H5307 [H8799]
him: and they fell
H6440
before
H3129
Jonathan
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
; and his armourbearer
H4191 [H8789]
slew
H310
after him.
14
H7223
And that first
H4347
slaughter
H3129
, which Jonathan
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
and his armourbearer
H5221 [H8689]
made
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 [H8688]
, and the spoilers
H2729 [H8804]
, they also trembled
H776
, and the earth
H7264 [H8799]
quaked
H430
: so it was a very great
H2731
trembling.
16
H6822 [H8802]
And the watchmen
H7586
of Saul
H1390
in Gibeah
H1144
of Benjamin
H7200 [H8799]
looked
H1995
; and, behold, the multitude
H4127 [H8738]
melted away
H3212 [H8799]
, and they went
H1986 [H8800]
on beating down one another.
17
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H7586
Saul
H5971
to the people
H6485 [H8798]
that were with him, Number
H7200 [H8798]
now, and see
H1980 [H8804]
who is gone
H6485 [H8799]
from us. And when they had numbered
H3129
, behold, Jonathan
H5375 H3627 [H8802]
and his armourbearer were not there.
18
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H281
to Ahiah
H5066 [H8685]
, Bring here
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 [H8765]
talked
H3548
to the priest
H1995
, that the noise
H4264
that was in the host
H6430
of the Philistines
H3212 [H8799]
went
H1980 [H8800]
on
H7227
and increased
H7586
: and Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H3548
to the priest
H622 [H8798]
, Withdraw
H3027
thy hand.
20
H7586
And Saul
H5971
and all the people
H2199 [H8735]
that were with him assembled
H935 [H8799]
themselves, and they came
H4421
to the battle
H376
: and, behold, every man's
H2719
sword
H7453
was against his companion
H3966
, and there was a very
H1419
great
H4103
confusion.
21
H5680
Moreover the Hebrews
H6430
that were with the Philistines
H865
before
H8032
that time
H5927 [H8804]
, who went up
H4264
with them into the camp
H5439
from the surrounding
H3478
country, 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 [H8693]
who had hid
H2022
themselves in mount
H669
Ephraim
H8085 [H8804]
, when they heard
H6430
that the Philistines
H5127 [H8804]
fled
H1692 [H8686]
, even they also followed hard
H310
after
H4421
them in the battle.
23
H3068
So the LORD
H3467 [H8686]
saved
H3478
Israel
H3117
that day
H4421
: and the battle
H5674 [H8804]
passed over
H1007
to Bethaven.
24
H376
And the men
H3478
of Israel
H5065 [H8738]
were distressed
H3117
that day
H7586
: for Saul
H422 [H8686]
had solemnly charged
H5971
the people
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H779 [H8803]
, Cursed
H376
be the man
H398 [H8799]
that eateth
H3899
any food
H6153
until evening
H5358 [H8738]
, that I may be avenged
H341 [H8802]
on my enemies
H5971
. So none of the people
H2938 [H8804]
tasted
H3899
any food.
25
H776
And all they of the land
H935 [H8804]
came
H3293
to a forest
H1706
; and there was honey
H6440
upon
H7704
the ground.
26
H5971
And when the people
H935 [H8799]
had come
H3293
into the forest
H1706
, behold, the honey
H1982
flowed
H5381 [H8688]
; but no man put
H3027
his hand
H6310
to his mouth
H5971
: for the people
H3372 [H8804]
feared
H7621
the oath.
27
H3129
But Jonathan
H8085 [H8804]
heard
H1
not when his father
H7650 0
charged
H5971
the people
H7650 [H8687]
with the oath
H7971 [H8799]
: therefore he put forth
H7097
the end
H4294
of the rod
H3027
that was in his hand
H2881 [H8799]
, and dipped
H3295 H1706
it in an honeycomb
H7725 [H8686]
, and put
H3027
his hand
H6310
to his mouth
H5869
; and his eyes
H215 [H8799]
were enlightened.
28
H6030 [H8799]
Then answered
H376
one
H5971
of the people
H559 [H8799]
, and said
H1
, Thy father
H7650 [H8687]
strictly
H7650 0
charged
H5971
the people
H7650 [H8689]
with an oath
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H779 [H8803]
, Cursed
H376
be the man
H398 [H8799]
that eateth
H3899
any food
H3117
this day
H5971
. And the people
H5774 [H8799]
were faint.
29
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3129
Jonathan
H1
, My father
H5916 [H8804]
hath troubled
H776
the land
H7200 [H8798]
: see
H5869
, I pray you, how my eyes
H215 [H8804]
have become bright
H2938 [H8804]
, because I tasted
H4592
a little
H1706
of this honey.
30
H637
How much better
H3863
, if only
H5971
the people
H398 [H8804]
had eaten
H398 [H8800]
freely
H3117
to day
H7998
of the spoil
H341 [H8802]
of their enemies
H4672 [H8804]
which they found
H7235 [H8804]
? for had there not been now a much greater
H4347
slaughter
H6430
among the Philistines?
31
H5221 [H8686]
And they smote
H6430
the Philistines
H3117
that day
H4363
from Michmash
H357
to Aijalon
H5971
: and the people
H3966
were very
H5774 [H8799]
faint.
32
H5971
And the people
H5860 H6213 [H8799]
flew
H7998
upon the spoil
H3947 [H8799]
, and took
H6629
sheep
H1241
, and oxen
H1121
, and calves
H7819 [H8799]
, and slew
H776
them on the ground
H5971
: and the people
H398 [H8799]
ate
H1818
them with the blood.
33
H5046 [H8686]
Then they told
H7586
Saul
H559 [H8800]
, saying
H5971
, Behold, the people
H2398 [H8802]
sin
H3068
against the LORD
H398 [H8800]
, in that they eat
H1818
with the blood
H559 [H8799]
. And he said
H898 [H8804]
, Ye have transgressed
H1556 [H8798]
: roll
H1419
a great
H68
stone
H3117
to me this day.
34
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H6327 [H8798]
, Disperse
H5971
yourselves among the people
H559 [H8804]
, and say
H5066 [H8685]
to them, Bring me here
H376
every man
H7794
his ox
H376
, and every man
H7716
his sheep
H7819 [H8804]
, and slay
H398 [H8804]
them here, and eat
H2398 [H8799]
; and sin
H3068
not against the LORD
H398 [H8800]
in eating
H1818
with the blood
H5971
. And all the people
H5066 [H8686]
brought
H376
every man
H7794
his ox
H3027
with him
H3915
that night
H7819 [H8799]
, and slew them there.
35
H7586
And Saul
H1129 [H8799]
built
H4196
an altar
H3068
to the LORD
H2490 [H8689]
: the same was the first
H4196
altar
H1129 [H8800]
that he built
H3068
to the LORD.
36
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H3381 [H8799]
, Let us go down
H310
after
H6430
the Philistines
H3915
by night
H962 [H8799]
, and spoil
H1242
them until the morning
H216
light
H7604 [H8686]
, and let us not leave
H376
a man
H559 [H8799]
of them. And they said
H6213 [H8798]
, Do
H5869
whatever seemeth
H2896
good
H559 [H8799]
to thee. Then said
H3548
the priest
H7126 [H8799]
, Let us draw near
H430
to God
H1988
here.
37
H7586
And Saul
H7592 [H8799]
asked
H430
counsel of God
H3381 [H8799]
, Shall I go down
H310
after
H6430
the Philistines
H5414 [H8799]
? wilt thou deliver
H3027
them into the hand
H3478
of Israel
H6030 [H8804]
? But he answered
H3117
him not that day.
38
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H5066 [H8798]
, Come ye
H1988
here
H6438
, all the chief
H5971
of the people
H3045 [H8798]
: and know
H7200 [H8798]
and see
H4100
what
H2403
this sin
H3117
hath been this day.
39
H3068
For, as the LORD
H2416
liveth
H3467 [H8688]
, who saveth
H3478
Israel
H3426
, though it is
H3129
in Jonathan
H1121
my son
H4191 [H8800]
, he shall surely
H4191 [H8799]
die
H5971
. But there was not a man among all the people
H6030 [H8802]
that answered him.
40
H559 [H8799]
Then said
H3478
he to 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 [H8799]
said
H7586
to Saul
H6213 [H8798]
, Do
H5869
what seemeth
H2896
good to thee.
41
H7586
Therefore Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3051 [H8798]
, Give
H8549
a perfect
H7586
lot. And Saul
H3129
and Jonathan
H3920 [H8735]
were taken
H5971
: but the people
H3318 [H8804]
escaped.
42
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H5307 [H8685]
, Cast
H3129
lots between me and Jonathan
H1121
my son
H3129
. And Jonathan
H3920 [H8735]
was taken.
43
H7586
Then Saul
H559 [H8799]
said
H3129
to Jonathan
H5046 [H8685]
, Tell
H6213 [H8804]
me what thou hast done
H3129
. And Jonathan
H5046 [H8686]
told
H559 [H8799]
him, and said
H2938 [H8800]
, I did but
H2938 [H8804]
taste
H4592
a little
H1706
honey
H7097
with the end
H4294
of the rod
H3027
that was in my hand
H2009
, and, lo
H4191 [H8799]
, I must die.
44
H7586
And Saul
H559 [H8799]
answered
H430
, God
H6213 [H8799]
do so
H3254 [H8686]
and more also
H4191 [H8800]
: for thou shalt surely
H4191 [H8799]
die
H3129
, Jonathan.
45
H5971
And the people
H559 [H8799]
said
H7586
to Saul
H3129
, Shall Jonathan
H4191 [H8799]
die
H6213 [H8804]
, who hath wrought
H1419
this great
H3444
salvation
H3478
in Israel
H2486
? By no means
H3068
: as the LORD
H2416
liveth
H8185
, there shall not one hair
H7218
of his head
H5307 [H8799]
fall
H776
to the ground
H6213 [H8804]
; for he hath wrought
H430
with God
H3117
this day
H5971
. So the people
H6299 [H8799]
rescued
H3129
Jonathan
H4191 [H8804]
, that he died not.
46
H7586
Then Saul
H5927 [H8799]
went up
H310
from following

took
H4410
the kingdom

, and against Edom
H4428
, and against the kings
H6678
of Zobah
H6430
, and against the Philistines
H6437 [H8799]
: and wherever he turned
H7561 [H8686]
himself, he smote them.
48
H6213 [H8799]
And he gathered
H2428
an host
H5221 [H8686]

H6002
the Amalekites
H5337 [H8686]

Israel

H8154 [H8802]
of them that spoiled them.
