  14:1 ¶
And when a certain day arrived, Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, and let us go over to Messab of the Philistines that is on the other side yonder; but he told not his father. |
|
14:1 ¶
Now it came to pass°
upon a day,°
that Jonathan°°
the son°
of Saul°
said°°
unto°
the young man°
that bare°°
his armour,°
Come,°°°
and let us go over°°
to°
the Philistines'°
garrison,°
that°
[is] on the other side.°°°
But he told°°
not°
his father.° |
|
14:2
And Saul sat on the top of the hill under the pomegranate tree that is in Magdon, and there were with him about six hundred men. |
|
14:2
And Saul°
tarried°°
in the uttermost°
part°
of Gibeah°
under°
a pomegranate tree°
which°
[is] in Migron:°
and the people°
that°
[were] with°
him [were] about six°
hundred°
men;° |
|
14:3
And Ahijah{gr.Achia} son of Ahitub{gr.Achitob}, the brother of Jochabed the son of Phinehas{gr.Phinees}, the son of Eli{gr.Heli}, [was] the priest of God in Shelah{gr.Selom} wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. |
|
14:3
And Ahiah,°
the son°
of Ahitub,°
Ichabod's°
brother,°
the son°
of Phinehas,°
the son°
of Eli,°
Yahweh's°
priest°
in Shiloh,°
wearing°°
an ephod.°
And the people°
knew°°
not°
that°
Jonathan°°
was gone.°° |
|
14:4 ¶
And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one [was] Bases, and the name of the other Senna. |
|
14:4 ¶
And between°
the passages,°
by which°
Jonathan°°
sought°°
to go over°°
unto°
the Philistines'°
garrison,°
[there was] a sharp°
rock°
on the one°°
side,°°
and a sharp°
rock°
on the other°°
side:°°
and the name°
of the one°
[was] Bozez,°
and the name°
of the other°
Seneh.° |
|
14:5
The one way [was] northward to one coming to Michmash{gr.Machmas}, and the other way [was] southward to one coming to Gabae. |
|
14:5
The forefront°
of the one°
[was] situate°
northward°°
over against°
Michmash,°
and the other°
southward°°
over against°
Gibeah.° |
|
14:6
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour, Come, let us go over to Messab of these uncircumcised, if [peradventure] the Lord may do something for us; for the Lord is not straitened to save by many or by few. |
|
14:6
And Jonathan°
said°°
to°
the young man°
that bare°°
his armour,°
Come,°°°
and let us go over°°
unto°
the garrison°
of these°
uncircumcised:°
it may be that°
Yahweh°
will work°°
for us: for°
[there is] no°
restraint°
to Yahweh°
to save°°
by many°
or°
by few.° |
|
14:7
And his armour-bearer said to him, Do all that thine heart inclines toward: behold, I [am] with thee, my heart [is] as thy heart. |
|
14:7
And his armourbearer°°°
said°°
unto him, Do°°
all°
that°
[is] in thine heart:°
turn°°
thee; behold,°
I [am] with°
thee according to thy heart.° |
|
14:8
And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them. |
|
14:8
Then said°°
Jonathan,°
Behold,°
we°
will pass over°°
unto°
[these] men,°°
and we will discover°°
ourselves°
unto°
them. |
|
14:9
If they should say thus to us, Stand aloof there until we shall send you word; then we will stand still by ourselves, and will not go up against them. |
|
14:9
If°
they say°°
thus°
unto°
us, Tarry°°
until°
we come°°
to°
you; then we will stand still°°
in our place,°
and will not°
go up°°
unto°
them. |
|
14:10
[But] if they should say thus to us, Come up to us; then will we go up, for the Lord has delivered them into our hands; this [shall be] a sign to us. |
|
14:10
But if°
they say°°
thus,°
Come up°°
unto°
us; then we will go up:°°
for°
Yahweh°
hath delivered°°
them into our hand:°
and this°
[shall be] a sign°
unto us. |
|
14:11
And they both went in to Messab of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of their Caves, where they had hidden themselves. |
|
14:11
And both°
of them discovered°°
themselves°
unto°
the garrison°
of the Philistines:°
and the Philistines°
said,°°
Behold,°
the Hebrews°
come forth°°
out of°
the holes°
where°°
they had hid°°
themselves.° |
|
14:12
And the men of Messab answered Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing: and Jonathan said to his armour-bearer, Come up after me, for the Lord has delivered them into the hands of Israel. |
|
14:12
And the men°°
of the garrison°
answered°°°
Jonathan°°
and his armourbearer,°°°
and said,°°
Come up°°
to°
us, and we will shew°°
you a thing.°
And Jonathan°°
said°°
unto°
his armourbearer,°°°
Come up°°
after°
me: for°
Yahweh°
hath delivered°°
them into the hand°
of Israel.° |
|
14:13
And Jonathan went up on his hands and feet, and his armour-bearer with him; and they looked on the face of Jonathan, and he smote them, and his armour-bearer did smite [them] after him. |
|
14:13
And Jonathan°°
climbed up°°
upon°
his hands°
and upon°
his feet,°
and his armourbearer°°°
after°
him: and they fell°°
before°
Jonathan;°°
and his armourbearer°°°
slew°°
after°
him. |
|
14:14
And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armour-bearer effected was twenty men, with darts and slings, and pebbles of the field. |
|
14:14
And that first°
slaughter,°
which°
Jonathan°°
and his armourbearer°°°
made,°°
was°
about twenty°
men,°
within as it were an half°
acre°
of land,°
[which] a yoke°
[of oxen might plow]. |
|
14:15
And there was dismay in the camp, and in the field; and all the people in Messab, and the spoilers were amazed; and they would not act, and the land was terror-struck, and there was dismay from the lord. |
|
14:15
And there was°
trembling°
in the host,°
in the field,°
and among all°
the people:°
the garrison,°
and the spoilers,°°
they°
also°
trembled,°°
and the earth°
quaked:°°
so it was°
a very great°
trembling.° |
|
14:16
And the watchmen of Saul beheld in Gibeah{gr.Gabaa} of Benjamin, and, behold, the army was thrown into confusion on every side. |
|
14:16
And the watchmen°°
of Saul°
in Gibeah°
of Benjamin°
looked;°°
and, behold,°
the multitude°
melted away,°°
and they went°°°
on beating down°°
[one another]. |
|
14:17
And Saul said to the people with him, Number yourselves now, and see who has gone out from you: and they numbered themselves, and behold, Jonathan and his armour-bearer were not found. |
|
14:17
Then said°°
Saul°
unto the people°
that°
[were] with°
him, Number°°
now,°
and see°°
who°
is gone°°
from°°
us. And when they had numbered,°°
behold,°
Jonathan°°
and his armourbearer°°°
[were] not°
[there]. |
|
14:18
And Saul said to Ahijah{gr.Achia}, Bring the ephod; for he wore the ephod in that day before Israel. |
|
14:18
And Saul°
said°°
unto Ahiah,°
Bring hither°°
the ark°
of Elohim.°
For°
the ark°
of Elohim°
was°
at that°
time°
with the children°
of Israel.° |
|
14:19 ¶
And it came to pass while Saul was speaking to the priest, that the sound in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase greatly; and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hands. |
|
14:19 ¶
And it came to pass,°
while°
Saul°
talked°°
unto°
the priest,°
that the noise°
that°
[was] in the host°
of the Philistines°
went°°
on°°
and increased:°°
and Saul°
said°°
unto°
the priest,°
Withdraw°°
thine hand.° |
|
14:20
And Saul went up and all the people that were with him, and they come to the battle: and, behold, [every] man's sword was against his neighbour, a very great confusion. |
|
14:20
And Saul°
and all°
the people°
that°
[were] with°
him assembled°°
themselves,°
and they came°°
to°
the battle:°
and, behold,°
every man's°
sword°
was°
against his fellow,°
[and there was] a very°
great°
discomfiture.° |
|
14:21
And the servants who had been before with the Philistines, who had gone up to the army, turned themselves also to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. |
|
14:21
Moreover the Hebrews°
[that] were°
with the Philistines°
before°
that time,°
which°
went up°°
with°
them into the camp°
[from the country] round about,°
even they°
also°
[turned] to be°
with°
the Israelites°
that°
[were] with°
Saul°
and Jonathan.°° |
|
14:22
And all the Israelites who were hidden in mount Ephraim heard also that the Philistines fled; and they also gather themselves after them to battle: and the Lord saved Israel in that day; and the war passed through Bamoth; and all the people with Saul were about ten thousand men. |
|
14:22
Likewise all°
the men°
of Israel°
which had hid°°
themselves°
in mount°
Ephraim,°
[when] they heard°°
that°
the Philistines°
fled,°°
even they°
also°
followed hard°°
after°
them in the battle.° |
|
14:23
And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim. |
|
14:23
So Yahweh°
saved°°°
Israel°
that°
day:°
and the battle°
passed over°°
unto°
Bethaven.° |
|
14:24 ¶
And Saul committed a great trespass of ignorance in that day, and he lays a curse on the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread before the evening; so I will avenge myself on my enemy: and none of the people tasted bread, though all the land was dining. |
|
14:24 ¶
And the men°
of Israel°
were distressed°°
that°
day:°
for Saul°
had adjured°°°
the people,°
saying,°°
Cursed°°
[be] the man°
that°
eateth°°
[any] food°
until°
evening,°
that I may be avenged°°
on mine enemies.°°°
So none°°
of the people°
tasted°°
[any] food.° |
|
14:25
And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground. |
|
14:25
And all°
[they of] the land°
came°°
to a wood;°
and there was°
honey°
upon°°
the ground.° |
|
14:26
And the people went into the place of the bees, and, behold, they continued speaking; and, behold, there was none that put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath of the Lord. |
|
14:26
And when the people°
were come°°
into°
the wood,°
behold,°
the honey°
dropped;°
but no°
man put°°
his hand°
to°
his mouth:°
for°
the people°
feared°°°
the oath.° |
|
14:27
And Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people; and he reached forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, an dipped it into the honeycomb, and returned his hand to his mouth, and his eyes recovered their sight. |
|
14:27
But Jonathan°°
heard°°
not°
when his father°
charged°°
the people°
with the oath:°°°°
wherefore he put forth°°°
the end°
of the rod°
that°
[was] in his hand,°
and dipped°°
it°
in an honeycomb,°°
and put°°
his hand°
to°
his mouth;°
and his eyes°
were enlightened.°° |
|
14:28
And one of the people answered and said, Thy father solemnly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who shall eat bread to-day. And the people were very faint, |
|
14:28
Then answered°°
one°
of the people,°°
and said,°°
Thy father°
straitly°°
charged°°
the people°
with an oath,°°°°
saying,°°
Cursed°°
[be] the man°
that°
eateth°°
[any] food°
this day.°
And the people°
were faint.°°° |
|
14:29
and Jonathan knew it, and said, My father has destroyed the land: see how my eyes have received sight [now] that I have tasted a little of this honey. |
|
14:29
Then said°°
Jonathan,°°
My father°
hath troubled°°°
the land:°
see,°°
I pray you,°
how°
mine eyes°
have been enlightened,°°
because°
I tasted°°
a little°
of this°
honey.° |
|
14:30
Surely if the people had this day eaten freely of the spoils of their enemies which they found, the slaughter among the Philistines would have been greater. |
|
14:30
How much more,°°
if haply°°
the people°
had eaten°°
freely°°
to day°
of the spoil°°
of their enemies°°
which°
they found?°°
for°
had there not°
been now°
a much greater°°
slaughter°
among the Philistines?° |
|
14:31
And on that day he smote some of the Philistines in Michmash{gr.Machmas}; and the people were very weary. |
|
14:31
And they smote°°
the Philistines°
that°
day°
from Michmash°°
to Aijalon:°
and the people°
were very°
faint.°°° |
|
14:32
And the people turned to the spoil; and the people took flocks, and herds, and calves, and slew them on the ground, and the people ate with the blood. |
|
14:32
And the people°
flew°°°
upon°
the spoil,°
and took°°
sheep,°
and oxen,°
and calves,°°
and slew°°
[them] on the ground:°
and the people°
did eat°°
[them] with°
the blood.° |
|
14:33 ¶
And it was reported to Saul, saying, The people have sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood: and Saul said, Out of Getthaim roll a great stone to me hither. |
|
14:33 ¶
Then they told°°
Saul,°
saying,°°
Behold,°
the people°
sin°°
against Yahweh,°
in that they eat°°
with°
the blood.°
And he said,°°
Ye have transgressed:°°
roll°°
a great°
stone°
unto°
me this day.° |
|
14:34
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring hither every one his calf, and every one his sheep: and let them slay it on this [stone] and sin not against the Lord in eating with the blood: and the people brought each one that which was in his hand, and they slew [them] there. |
|
14:34
And Saul°
said,°°
Disperse°°
yourselves°
among the people,°
and say°°
unto them, Bring me hither°°°
every man°
his ox,°
and every man°
his sheep,°
and slay°°
[them] here,°
and eat;°°
and sin°°
not°
against Yahweh°
in eating°°
with°
the blood.°
And all°
the people°
brought°°
every man°
his ox°
with°
him°
that night,°
and slew°°
[them] there.° |
|
14:35
And Saul built an altar there to the Lord: this was the first altar that Saul built to the Lord. |
|
14:35
And Saul°
built°°
an altar°
unto Yahweh:°
the same was the first°°
altar°
that he built°°
unto Yahweh.° |
|
14:36 ¶
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines this night, and let us plunder among them till the day break, and let us not leave a man among them. And they said, Do all that is good in thy sight: and the priest said, let us draw nigh hither to God. |
|
14:36 ¶
And Saul°
said,°°
Let us go down°°
after°
the Philistines°
by night,°
and spoil°°
them until°
the morning°
light,°
and let us not°
leave°°
a man°
of them. And they said,°°
Do°°
whatsoever°
seemeth°
good°
unto thee. Then said°°
the priest,°
Let us draw near°°
hither°
unto°
Elohim.° |
|
14:37
And Saul enquired of God, If I go down after the Philistines, wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not in that day. |
|
14:37
And Saul°
asked°°
counsel°
of Elohim,°
Shall I go down°°
after°
the Philistines?°
wilt thou deliver°°
them into the hand°
of Israel?°
But he answered°°
him not°
that°
day.° |
|
14:38
And Saul said, Bring hither all the chiefs of Israel, and know and see by whom this sin has been committed this day. |
|
14:38
And Saul°
said,°°
Draw ye near°°
hither,°
all°
the chief°
of the people:°
and know°°
and see°°
wherein°
this sin°
hath been°
this°
day.° |
|
14:39
For as the Lord lives who has saved Israel, if answer should be against my son Jonathan, he shall surely die. And there was no one that answered out of all the people. |
|
14:39
For,°
[as] Yahweh°
liveth,°
which saveth°°°
Israel,°
though°°
it be°
in Jonathan°°
my son,°
he shall surely°°
die.°°
But [there was] not a man°
among all°°
the people°
[that] answered°°
him. |
|
14:40
And he said to all the men of Israel, Ye shall be under subjection, and I and Jonathan my son will be under subjection: and the people said to Saul, Do that which is good in thy sight. |
|
14:40
Then said°°
he unto°
all°
Israel,°
Be°
ye°
on one°
side,°
and I°
and Jonathan°°
my son°
will be°
on the other°
side.°
And the people°
said°°
unto°
Saul,°
Do°°
what seemeth°
good°
unto thee. |
|
14:41
And Saul said, O Lord God of Israel, why hast thou not answered thy servant this day? [is] the iniquity in me, or in Jonathan my son? Lord God of Israel, give clear [manifestations]; and if [the lot] should declare this, give, I pray thee, to thy people of Israel, give, I pray, holiness. And Jonathan and Saul are taken, and the people escaped. |
|
14:41
Therefore Saul°
said°°
unto°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel,°
Give°°
a perfect°
[lot]. And Saul°
and Jonathan°°
were taken:°°
but the people°
escaped.°° |
|
14:42
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and my son Jonathan: whomsoever the Lord shall cause to be taken by lot, let him die: and the people said to Saul, This thing is not [to be done]: and Saul prevailed against the people, and they cast [lots] between him and Jonathan his son, and Jonathan is taken by lot. |
|
14:42
And Saul°
said,°°
Cast°°
[lots] between°
me and Jonathan°°
my son.°
And Jonathan°°
was taken.°° |
|
14:43
And Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done: and Jonathan told him, and said, I did indeed taste a little honey, with the end of my staff that was in my hand, and, lo! I [am to] die. |
|
14:43
Then Saul°
said°°
to°
Jonathan,°°
Tell°°
me what°
thou hast done.°°
And Jonathan°°
told°°
him, and said,°°
I did but°°
taste°°
a little°
honey°
with the end°
of the rod°
that°
[was] in mine hand,°
[and], lo,°
I must die.°° |
|
14:44
And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, thou shalt surely die to-day. |
|
14:44
And Saul°
answered,°°
Elohim°
do°
so°°°
and more°
also:°°°
for°
thou shalt surely°°
die,°°
Jonathan.°° |
|
14:45
And the people said to Saul, Shall he that has wrought this great salvation in Israel be put to death this day? [As] the Lord lives, there shall not fall to the ground one of the hairs of his head; for the people of God have wrought successfully this day. And the people prayed for Jonathan in that day, and he died not. |
|
14:45
And the people°
said°°
unto°
Saul,°
Shall Jonathan°°
die,°°
who°
hath wrought°°
this°
great°
salvation°
in Israel?°
God forbid:°
[as] Yahweh°
liveth,°
there shall not°
one hair°°
of his head°
fall°°
to the ground;°
for°
he hath wrought°°
with°
Elohim°
this°
day.°
So the people°
rescued°°°
Jonathan,°°
that he died°°
not.° |
|
14:46
And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place. |
|
14:46
Then Saul°
went up°°
from following°°
the Philistines:°
and the Philistines°
went°°
to their own place.° |
|
14:47 ¶
And Saul received the kingdom, by lot he inherits the office [of ruling] over Israel: and he fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against the children of Edom, and against Baethaeor, and against the king of Zobah{gr.Suba}, and against the Philistines: whithersoever he turned, he was victorious. |
|
14:47 ¶
So Saul°
took°°
the kingdom°
over°
Israel,°
and fought°°
against all°
his enemies°°
on every side,°
against Moab,°
and against the children°
of Ammon,°
and against Edom,°
and against the kings°
of Zobah,°
and against the Philistines:°
and whithersoever°°
he turned°°
himself, he vexed°°
[them]. |
|
14:48
And he wrought valiantly, and smote Amalek{gr.Amalec}, and rescued Israel out of the hand of them that trampled on him. |
|
14:48
And he gathered°°
an host,°
and smote°°°
the Amalekites,°
and delivered°°°
Israel°
out of the hands°°
of them that spoiled°°
them. |
|
14:49
And the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Jessiu, and Melchisa: and [these were] the names of his two daughters, the name of the first-born Merob, and the name of the second Michal{gr.Melchol}. |
|
14:49
Now the sons°
of Saul°
were°
Jonathan,°°
and Ishui,°
and Melchishua:°
and the names°
of his two°
daughters°
[were these]; the name°
of the firstborn°
Merab,°
and the name°
of the younger°
Michal:° |
|
14:50
And the name of his wife was Achinoom, the daughter of Ahimaaz{gr.Achimaa}: and the name of his captain of the host was Abner{gr.Abenner}, the son of Ner, son of a kinsman of Saul. |
|
14:50
And the name°
of Saul's°
wife°
[was] Ahinoam,°
the daughter°
of Ahimaaz:°
and the name°
of the captain°
of his host°
[was] Abner,°
the son°
of Ner,°
Saul's°
uncle.° |
|
14:51
And Kish{gr.Kis} [was] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abenezer, [was] son of Jamin, son of Abiel. |
|
14:51
And Kish°
[was] the father°
of Saul;°
and Ner°
the father°
of Abner°
[was] the son°
of Abiel.° |
|
14:52
And the war was vehement against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, and any valiant man, then he took them to himself. |
|
14:52
And there was°
sore°
war°
against°
the Philistines°
all°
the days°
of Saul:°
and when Saul°
saw°°
any°
strong°
man,°
or any°
valiant°
man,°
he took°°
him unto°
him. |
