13:1 ¶
Saul°
reigned°°
one°
year;°°
and when he had reigned°°
two°
years°
over°
Israel,° |
|
13:2 ¶
And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Michmash{gr.Machmas}, and in mount Bethel{gr.Baethel}, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah{gr.Gabaa} of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent. |
|
13:2
Saul°
chose°°
him three°
thousand°
[men] of Israel;°°
[whereof] two thousand°
were°
with°
Saul°
in Michmash°
and in mount°
Bethel,°
and a thousand°
were°
with°
Jonathan°°
in Gibeah°
of Benjamin:°
and the rest°
of the people°
he sent°°
every man°
to his tent.° |
|
13:3
And Jonathan smote Nasib the Philistine that dwelt in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us]. |
|
13:3
And Jonathan°°
smote°°°
the garrison°
of the Philistines°
that°
[was] in Geba,°
and the Philistines°
heard°°
[of it]. And Saul°
blew°°
the trumpet°
throughout all°
the land,°
saying,°°
Let the Hebrews°
hear.°° |
|
13:4
And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Gilgal{gr.Galgala}. |
|
13:4
And all°
Israel°
heard°°
say°°
[that] Saul°
had smitten°°°
a garrison°
of the Philistines,°
and [that] Israel°
also°
was had in abomination°°
with the Philistines.°
And the people°
were called together°°
after°
Saul°
to Gilgal.° |
|
13:5 ¶
And the Philistines gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Michmash{gr.Machmas}, opposite Bethhoron{gr.Baethoron} southward. |
|
13:5 ¶
And the Philistines°
gathered themselves together°°
to fight°°
with°
Israel,°
thirty°
thousand°
chariots,°
and six°
thousand°
horsemen,°
and people°
as the sand°
which°
[is] on°
the sea°
shore°
in multitude:°
and they came up,°°
and pitched°°
in Michmash,°
eastward°
from Bethaven.° |
|
13:6
And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait so that they could not draw nigh, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and pits. |
|
13:6
When the men°
of Israel°
saw°°
that°
they were in a strait,°°
(for°
the people°
were distressed,)°°
then the people°
did hide°°
themselves°
in caves,°
and in thickets,°
and in rocks,°
and in high places,°
and in pits.° |
|
13:7
And they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead{gr.Galaad}: and Saul was yet in Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, and all the people followed after him in amazement. |
|
13:7
And [some of] the Hebrews°
went over°°°
Jordan°
to the land°
of Gad°
and Gilead.°
As for Saul,°
he [was] yet°
in Gilgal,°
and all°
the people°
followed°
him trembling.°° |
|
13:8 ¶
And he continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, and his people were dispersed from him. |
|
13:8 ¶
And he tarried°°°°
seven°
days,°
according to the set time°
that°
Samuel°
[had appointed]: but Samuel°
came°°
not°
to Gilgal;°
and the people°
were scattered°°
from°°
him. |
|
13:9
And Saul said, Bring hither [victims], that I may offer whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole-burnt-offering. |
|
13:9
And Saul°
said,°°
Bring hither°°
a burnt offering°
to°
me, and peace offerings.°
And he offered°°
the burnt offering.° |
|
13:10
And it came to pass when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless him. |
|
13:10
And it came to pass,°
that as soon as he had made an end°°
of offering°°
the burnt offering,°
behold,°
Samuel°
came;°°
and Saul°
went out°°
to meet°°
him, that he might salute°°
him. |
|
13:11 ¶
And Samuel said, What hast thou done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and thou was not present as thou purposedst according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Michmash{gr.Machmas}. |
|
13:11 ¶
And Samuel°
said,°°
What°
hast thou done?°°
And Saul°
said,°°
Because°
I saw°°
that°
the people°
were scattered°°
from°°
me, and [that] thou°
camest°°
not°
within the days°
appointed,°
and [that] the Philistines°
gathered themselves together°°
at Michmash;° |
|
13:12
Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole-burnt-offering. |
|
13:12
Therefore said°°
I, The Philistines°
will come down°°
now°
upon°
me to Gilgal,°
and I have not°
made supplication°°
unto°
Yahweh:°
I forced°°
myself°
therefore, and offered°°
a burnt offering.° |
|
13:13
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; for thou hast not kept my command, which the Lord commanded thee, as now the Lord would have confirmed thy kingdom over Israel for ever. |
|
13:13
And Samuel°
said°°
to°
Saul,°
Thou hast done foolishly:°°
thou hast not°
kept°°°
the commandment°
of Yahweh°
thy Elohim,°
which°
he commanded°°
thee: for°
now°
would Yahweh°
have established°°°
thy kingdom°
upon°
Israel°
for°
ever.°° |
|
13:14
But now thy kingdom shall not stand to thee, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because thou hast not kept all that the Lord commanded thee. |
|
13:14
But now°
thy kingdom°
shall not°
continue:°°
Yahweh°
hath sought°°
him a man°
after his own heart,°
and Yahweh°
hath commanded°°
him [to be] captain°
over°
his people,°
because°
thou hast not°
kept°°
[that]°
which°
Yahweh°
commanded°°
thee. |
|
13:15
And Samuel arose, and departed from Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Gilgal{gr.Galgala} to Gibeah{gr.Gabaa} of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men. |
|
13:15
And Samuel°
arose,°°
and gat him up°°
from°
Gilgal°
unto Gibeah°
of Benjamin.°
And Saul°
numbered°°°
the people°
[that were] present°°
with°
him, about six°
hundred°
men.° |
|
13:16
And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, halted in Gibeah{gr.Gabaa}, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Michmash{gr.Machmas}. |
|
13:16
And Saul,°
and Jonathan°°
his son,°
and the people°
[that were] present°°
with°
them, abode°°
in Gibeah°
of Benjamin:°
but the Philistines°
encamped°°
in Michmash.° |
|
13:17 ¶
And men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera toward the land of Sogal, |
|
13:17 ¶
And the spoilers°°
came out°°
of the camp°°
of the Philistines°
in three°
companies:°
one°
company°
turned°°
unto°
the way°
[that leadeth to] Ophrah,°
unto°
the land°
of Shual:° |
|
13:18
and another company turning the way of Bethhoron{gr.Baethoron}, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Ai{gr.Gai} of Sabim. |
|
13:18
And another°
company°
turned°°
the way°
[to] Bethhoron:°
and another°
company°
turned°°
[to] the way°
of the border°
that looketh°°
to°
the valley°
of Zeboim°
toward the wilderness.° |
|
13:19 ¶
And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear. |
|
13:19 ¶
Now there was no°
smith°
found°°
throughout all°
the land°
of Israel:°
for°
the Philistines°
said,°°
Lest°
the Hebrews°
make°°
[them] swords°
or°
spears:° |
|
13:20
And all Israel went down to the Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle. |
|
13:20
But all°
the Israelites°
went down°°
to the Philistines,°
to sharpen°°
every man°°
his share,°
and his coulter,°
and his axe,°
and his mattock.° |
|
13:21
And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a plough-share, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle. |
|
13:21
Yet they had°
a file°°
for the mattocks,°
and for the coulters,°
and for the forks,°°
and for the axes,°
and to sharpen°°
the goads.° |
|
13:22
And it came to pass in the days of the war of Michmash{gr.Machmas}, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found. |
|
13:22
So it came to pass°
in the day°
of battle,°
that there was neither°
sword°
nor spear°
found°°
in the hand°
of any°
of the people°
that°
[were] with°
Saul°
and Jonathan:°°
but with Saul°
and with Jonathan°°
his son°
was there found.°° |
|
13:23
And there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Michmash{gr.Machmas}. |
|
13:23
And the garrison°
of the Philistines°
went out°°
to°
the passage°
of Michmash.° |
