Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 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 passº upon a day,º that Jonathanºº the sonº of Saulº saidºº untoº the young manº that bareºº his armour,º Come,ººº and let us go overºº toº the Philistines'º garrison,º thatº [is] on the other side.ººº But he toldºº notº his father.º

 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 Saulº tarriedºº in the uttermostº partº of Gibeahº underº a pomegranate treeº whichº [is] in Migron:º and the peopleº thatº [were] withº him [were] about sixº hundredº men;º

 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,º the sonº of Ahitub,º Ichabod'sº brother,º the sonº of Phinehas,º the sonº of Eli,º Yahweh'sº priestº in Shiloh,º wearingºº an ephod.º And the peopleº knewºº notº thatº Jonathanºº was gone.ºº

 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 betweenº the passages,º by whichº Jonathanºº soughtºº to go overºº untoº the Philistines'º garrison,º [there was] a sharpº rockº on the oneºº side,ºº and a sharpº rockº on the otherºº side:ºº and the nameº of the oneº [was] Bozez,º and the nameº of the otherº Seneh.º

 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 forefrontº of the oneº [was] situateº northwardºº over againstº Michmash,º and the otherº southwardºº over againstº Gibeah.º

 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 Jonathanº saidºº toº the young manº that bareºº his armour,º Come,ººº and let us go overºº untoº the garrisonº of theseº uncircumcised:º it may be thatº Yahwehº will workºº for us: forº [there is] noº restraintº to Yahwehº to saveºº by manyº orº by few.º

 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 armourbearerººº saidºº unto him, Doºº allº thatº [is] in thine heart:º turnºº thee; behold,º I [am] withº thee according to thy heart.º

 14:8 And Jonathan said, Behold, we will go over to the men, and will come down suddenly upon them.

 14:8 Then saidºº Jonathan,º Behold,º weº will pass overºº untoº [these] men,ºº and we will discoverºº ourselvesº untoº 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 Ifº they sayºº thusº untoº us, Tarryºº untilº we comeºº toº you; then we will stand stillºº in our place,º and will notº go upºº untoº 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 ifº they sayºº thus,º Come upºº untoº us; then we will go up:ºº forº Yahwehº hath deliveredºº them into our hand:º and thisº [shall be] a signº 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 bothº of them discoveredºº themselvesº untoº the garrisonº of the Philistines:º and the Philistinesº said,ºº Behold,º the Hebrewsº come forthºº out ofº the holesº whereºº they had hidºº themselves.º

 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 menºº of the garrisonº answeredººº Jonathanºº and his armourbearer,ººº and said,ºº Come upºº toº us, and we will shewºº you a thing.º And Jonathanºº saidºº untoº his armourbearer,ººº Come upºº afterº me: forº Yahwehº hath deliveredºº them into the handº of Israel.º

 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 Jonathanºº climbed upºº uponº his handsº and uponº his feet,º and his armourbearerººº afterº him: and they fellºº beforeº Jonathan;ºº and his armourbearerººº slewºº afterº 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 firstº slaughter,º whichº Jonathanºº and his armourbearerººº made,ºº wasº about twentyº men,º within as it were an halfº acreº of land,º [which] a yokeº [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 wasº tremblingº in the host,º in the field,º and among allº the people:º the garrison,º and the spoilers,ºº theyº alsoº trembled,ºº and the earthº quaked:ºº so it wasº a very greatº trembling.º

 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 watchmenºº of Saulº in Gibeahº of Benjaminº looked;ºº and, behold,º the multitudeº melted away,ºº and they wentººº on beating downºº [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 saidºº Saulº unto the peopleº thatº [were] withº him, Numberºº now,º and seeºº whoº is goneºº fromºº us. And when they had numbered,ºº behold,º Jonathanºº and his armourbearerººº [were] notº [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 Saulº saidºº unto Ahiah,º Bring hitherºº the arkº of Elohim.º Forº the arkº of Elohimº wasº at thatº timeº with the childrenº of Israel.º

 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,º whileº Saulº talkedºº untoº the priest,º that the noiseº thatº [was] in the hostº of the Philistinesº wentºº onºº and increased:ºº and Saulº saidºº untoº the priest,º Withdrawºº thine hand.º

 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 Saulº and allº the peopleº thatº [were] withº him assembledºº themselves,º and they cameºº toº the battle:º and, behold,º every man'sº swordº wasº against his fellow,º [and there was] a veryº greatº discomfiture.º

 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 Hebrewsº [that] wereº with the Philistinesº beforeº that time,º whichº went upºº withº them into the campº [from the country] round about,º even theyº alsoº [turned] to beº withº the Israelitesº thatº [were] withº Saulº and Jonathan.ºº

 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 allº the menº of Israelº which had hidºº themselvesº in mountº Ephraim,º [when] they heardºº thatº the Philistinesº fled,ºº even theyº alsoº followed hardºº afterº them in the battle.º

 14:23 And the battle extended itself to every city in the mount Ephraim.

 14:23 So Yahwehº savedººº Israelº thatº day:º and the battleº passed overºº untoº Bethaven.º

 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 menº of Israelº were distressedºº thatº day:º for Saulº had adjuredººº the people,º saying,ºº Cursedºº [be] the manº thatº eatethºº [any] foodº untilº evening,º that I may be avengedºº on mine enemies.ººº So noneºº of the peopleº tastedºº [any] food.º

 14:25 And Jaal was a wood abounding in swarms of bees on the face of the ground.

 14:25 And allº [they of] the landº cameºº to a wood;º and there wasº honeyº uponºº the ground.º

 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 peopleº were comeºº intoº the wood,º behold,º the honeyº dropped;º but noº man putºº his handº toº his mouth:º forº the peopleº fearedººº the oath.º

 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 Jonathanºº heardºº notº when his fatherº chargedºº the peopleº with the oath:ºººº wherefore he put forthººº the endº of the rodº thatº [was] in his hand,º and dippedºº itº in an honeycomb,ºº and putºº his handº toº his mouth;º and his eyesº were enlightened.ºº

 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 answeredºº oneº of the people,ºº and said,ºº Thy fatherº straitlyºº chargedºº the peopleº with an oath,ºººº saying,ºº Cursedºº [be] the manº thatº eatethºº [any] foodº this day.º And the peopleº were faint.ººº

 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 saidºº Jonathan,ºº My fatherº hath troubledººº the land:º see,ºº I pray you,º howº mine eyesº have been enlightened,ºº becauseº I tastedºº a littleº of thisº honey.º

 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,ºº if haplyºº the peopleº had eatenºº freelyºº to dayº of the spoilºº of their enemiesºº whichº they found?ºº forº had there notº been nowº a much greaterºº slaughterº among the Philistines?º

 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 smoteºº the Philistinesº thatº dayº from Michmashºº to Aijalon:º and the peopleº were veryº faint.ººº

 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 peopleº flewººº uponº the spoil,º and tookºº sheep,º and oxen,º and calves,ºº and slewºº [them] on the ground:º and the peopleº did eatºº [them] withº the blood.º

 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 toldºº Saul,º saying,ºº Behold,º the peopleº sinºº against Yahweh,º in that they eatºº withº the blood.º And he said,ºº Ye have transgressed:ºº rollºº a greatº stoneº untoº me this day.º

 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 Saulº said,ºº Disperseºº yourselvesº among the people,º and sayºº unto them, Bring me hitherººº every manº his ox,º and every manº his sheep,º and slayºº [them] here,º and eat;ºº and sinºº notº against Yahwehº in eatingºº withº the blood.º And allº the peopleº broughtºº every manº his oxº withº himº that night,º and slewºº [them] there.º

 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 Saulº builtºº an altarº unto Yahweh:º the same was the firstºº altarº that he builtºº unto Yahweh.º

 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 Saulº said,ºº Let us go downºº afterº the Philistinesº by night,º and spoilºº them untilº the morningº light,º and let us notº leaveºº a manº of them. And they said,ºº Doºº whatsoeverº seemethº goodº unto thee. Then saidºº the priest,º Let us draw nearºº hitherº untoº Elohim.º

 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 Saulº askedºº counselº of Elohim,º Shall I go downºº afterº the Philistines?º wilt thou deliverºº them into the handº of Israel?º But he answeredºº him notº thatº day.º

 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 Saulº said,ºº Draw ye nearºº hither,º allº the chiefº of the people:º and knowºº and seeºº whereinº this sinº hath beenº thisº day.º

 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,º [as] Yahwehº liveth,º which savethººº Israel,º thoughºº it beº in Jonathanºº my son,º he shall surelyºº die.ºº But [there was] not a manº among allºº the peopleº [that] answeredºº 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 saidºº he untoº allº Israel,º Beº yeº on oneº side,º and Iº and Jonathanºº my sonº will beº on the otherº side.º And the peopleº saidºº untoº Saul,º Doºº what seemethº goodº 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 Saulº saidºº untoº Yahwehº Elohimº of Israel,º Giveºº a perfectº [lot]. And Saulº and Jonathanºº were taken:ºº but the peopleº escaped.ºº

 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 Saulº said,ºº Castºº [lots] betweenº me and Jonathanºº my son.º And Jonathanºº was taken.ºº

 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 Saulº saidºº toº Jonathan,ºº Tellºº me whatº thou hast done.ºº And Jonathanºº toldºº him, and said,ºº I did butºº tasteºº a littleº honeyº with the endº of the rodº thatº [was] in mine hand,º [and], lo,º I must die.ºº

 14:44 And Saul said to him, God do so to me, and more also, thou shalt surely die to-day.

 14:44 And Saulº answered,ºº Elohimº doº soººº and moreº also:ººº forº thou shalt surelyºº die,ºº Jonathan.ºº

 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 peopleº saidºº untoº Saul,º Shall Jonathanºº die,ºº whoº hath wroughtºº thisº greatº salvationº in Israel?º God forbid:º [as] Yahwehº liveth,º there shall notº one hairºº of his headº fallºº to the ground;º forº he hath wroughtºº withº Elohimº thisº day.º So the peopleº rescuedººº Jonathan,ºº that he diedºº not.º

 14:46 And Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines departed to their place.

 14:46 Then Saulº went upºº from followingºº the Philistines:º and the Philistinesº wentºº to their own place.º

 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 Saulº tookºº the kingdomº overº Israel,º and foughtºº against allº his enemiesºº on every side,º against Moab,º and against the childrenº of Ammon,º and against Edom,º and against the kingsº of Zobah,º and against the Philistines:º and whithersoeverºº he turnedºº himself, he vexedºº [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 gatheredºº an host,º and smoteººº the Amalekites,º and deliveredººº Israelº out of the handsºº of them that spoiledºº 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 sonsº of Saulº wereº Jonathan,ºº and Ishui,º and Melchishua:º and the namesº of his twoº daughtersº [were these]; the nameº of the firstbornº Merab,º and the nameº of the youngerº Michal:º

 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 nameº of Saul'sº wifeº [was] Ahinoam,º the daughterº of Ahimaaz:º and the nameº of the captainº of his hostº [was] Abner,º the sonº of Ner,º Saul'sº uncle.º

 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 Kishº [was] the fatherº of Saul;º and Nerº the fatherº of Abnerº [was] the sonº of Abiel.º

 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 wasº soreº warº againstº the Philistinesº allº the daysº of Saul:º and when Saulº sawºº anyº strongº man,º or anyº valiantº man,º he tookºº him untoº him.
