1 Samuel 13:1 Saul7586 reigned4427 one year;11218141{Heb. the son of one year in his reigning} and when he had reigned4427 two8147 years8141 over Israel,34782 Saul7586 chose977 him three7969 thousand505men of Israel;3478whereof two thousand505 were with Saul7586 in Michmash4363 and in mount2022 Bethel,1008 and a thousand505 were with Jonathan3129 in Gibeah1390 of Benjamin:1144 and the rest3499 of the people5971 he sent7971 every man376 to his tent.1683 And Jonathan3129 smote5221 the garrison5333 of the Philistines6430 that was in Geba,1387{Or, the hill} and the Philistines6430 heard8085ofit. And Saul7586 blew8628 the trumpet7782 throughout all the land,776 saying,559 Let the Hebrews5680 hear.80854 And all Israel3478 heard8085 say559that Saul7586 had smitten5221 a garrison5333 of the Philistines,6430 and that Israel3478 also was had{Heb. did stink} in abomination887 with the Philistines.6430 And the people5971 were called together6817 after310 Saul7586 to Gilgal.1537
1 Samuel 13:5 And the Philistines6430 gathered themselves together622 to fight3898 with Israel,3478 thirty7970 thousand505 chariots,7393 and six8337 thousand505 horsemen,6571 and people5971 as the sand2344 which is on the sea3220 shore8193 in multitude:7230 and they came up,5927 and pitched2583 in Michmash,4363 eastward6926 from Bethaven.10076 When the men376 of Israel3478 saw7200 that they were in a strait,6887 (for the people5971 were distressed,)5065 then the people5971 did hide2244 themselves in caves,4631 and in thickets,2337 and in rocks,5553 and in high places,6877 and in pits.9537 And someof the Hebrews5680 went over5674 Jordan3383 to the land776 of Gad1410 and Gilead.1568 As for Saul,7586 he was yet in Gilgal,1537 and all the people5971 followed310 him trembling.2729{Heb. trembled after him}
1 Samuel 13:8 And he tarried31763176 seven7651 days,3117 according to the set time4150 that Samuel8050hadappointed: but Samuel8050 came935 not to Gilgal;1537 and the people5971 were scattered6327 from him.
9 And Saul7586 said,559 Bring hither5066 a burnt offering5930 to me, and peace offerings.8002 And he offered5927 the burnt offering.593010 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end3615 of offering5927 the burnt offering,5930 behold, Samuel8050 came;935 and Saul7586 went out3318 to meet7125 him, that he might salute1288 him.{Heb. bless him}
1 Samuel 13:11 And Samuel8050 said,559 What hast thou done?6213 And Saul7586 said,559 Because I saw7200 that the people5971 were scattered5310 from me, and that thou camest935 not within the days3117 appointed,4150 and that the Philistines6430 gathered themselves together622 at Michmash;436312 Therefore said559 I, The Philistines6430 will come down3381 now upon me to Gilgal,1537 and I have not made supplication2470{Heb. intreated the face} unto6440 the LORD:3068 I forced662 myself therefore, and offered5927 a burnt offering.593013 And Samuel8050 said559 to Saul,7586 Thou hast done foolishly:5528 thou hast not kept8104 the commandment4687 of the LORD3068 thy God,430 which he commanded6680 thee: for now would the LORD3068 have established3559 thy kingdom4467 upon Israel3478 for5704 ever.576914 But now thy kingdom4467 shall not continue:6965 the LORD3068 hath sought1245 him a man376 after his own heart,3824 and the LORD3068 hath commanded6680 him tobe captain5057 over his people,5971 because thou hast not kept8104that which the LORD3068 commanded6680 thee.
15 And Samuel8050 arose,6965 and gat him up5927 from Gilgal1537 unto Gibeah1390 of Benjamin.1144 And Saul7586 numbered6485 the people5971thatwere present4672{Heb. found} with him, about six8337 hundred3967 men.37616 And Saul,7586 and Jonathan3129 his son,1121 and the people5971thatwere present4672 with them, abode3427 in Gibeah1387 of Benjamin:1144 but the Philistines6430 encamped2583 in Michmash.4363
1 Samuel 13:17 And the spoilers7843 came out3318 of the camp4264 of the Philistines6430 in three7969 companies:7218 one259 company7218 turned6437 unto the way1870thatleadethto Ophrah,6084 unto the land776 of Shual:777718 And another259 company7218 turned6437 the way1870to Bethhoron:1032 and another259 company7218 turned6437to the way1870 of the border1366 that looketh8259 to the valley1516 of Zeboim6650 toward the wilderness.4057
1 Samuel 13:19 Now there was no smith2796 found4672 throughout all the land776 of Israel:3478 for the Philistines6430 said,559 Lest the Hebrews5680 make6213them swords2719 or spears:259520 But all the Israelites3478 went down3381 to the Philistines,6430 to sharpen3913 every man376 his share,4282 and his coulter,855 and his axe,7134 and his mattock.428121 Yet they had a file64776310 for the mattocks,4281{Heb. a file with mouths} and for the coulters,855 and for the forks,79697053 and for the axes,7134 and to sharpen5324{Heb. to set} the goads.186122 So it came to pass in the day3117 of battle,4421 that there was neither sword2719 nor spear2595 found4672 in the hand3027 of any of the people5971 that were with Saul7586 and Jonathan:3129 but with Saul7586 and with Jonathan3129 his son1121 was there found.467223 And the garrison4673{Or, standing camp} of the Philistines6430 went out3318 to the passage4569 of Michmash.4363
