13:1 A
son
of
a
year
[is]
Saul
in
his
reigning,
yea,
two
years
he
hath
reigned
over
Israel,
13:2 and
Saul
chooseth
for
himself
three
thousand
[men]
out
of
Israel;
and
two
thousand
are
with
Saul
in
Michmash,
and
in
the
hill-country
of
Beth-El;
and
a
thousand
have
been
with
Jonathan
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin;
and
the
remnant
of
the
people
he
hath
sent
each
to
his
tents.
13:3 And
Jonathan
smiteth
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines
which
[is]
in
Geba,
and
the
Philistines
hear,
and
Saul
hath
blown
with
a
trumpet
through
all
the
land,
saying,
`Let
the
Hebrews
hear.'
13:4 And
all
Israel
have
heard,
saying,
`Saul
hath
smitten
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines,'
and
also,
`Israel
hath
been
abhorred
by
the
Philistines;'
and
the
people
are
called
after
Saul
to
Gilgal.
13:5 And
the
Philistines
have
been
gathered
to
fight
with
Israel;
thirty
thousand
chariots,
and
six
thousand
horsemen,
and
a
people
as
the
sand
which
[is]
on
the
sea-shore
for
multitude;
and
they
come
up
and
encamp
in
Michmash,
east
of
Beth-Aven.
13:6 And
the
men
of
Israel
have
seen
that
they
are
distressed,
that
the
people
hath
been
oppressed,
and
the
people
hide
themselves
in
caves,
and
in
thickets,
and
in
rocks,
and
in
high
places,
and
in
pits.
13:7 And
Hebrews
have
passed
over
the
Jordan
to
the
land
of
Gad
and
Gilead;
and
Saul
[is]
yet
in
Gilgal,
and
all
the
people
have
trembled
after
him.
13:8 And
he
waiteth
seven
days,
according
to
the
appointment
with
Samuel,
and
Samuel
hath
not
come
to
Gilgal,
and
the
people
are
scattered
from
off
him.
13:9 And
Saul
saith,
`Bring
nigh
unto
me
the
burnt-offering,
and
the
peace-offerings;'
and
he
causeth
the
burnt-offering
to
ascend.
13:10 And
it
cometh
to
pass
at
his
completing
to
cause
the
burnt-offering
to
ascend,
that
lo,
Samuel
hath
come,
and
Saul
goeth
out
to
meet
him,
to
bless
him;
13:11 and
Samuel
saith,
`What
hast
thou
done'
And
Saul
saith,
`Because
I
saw
that
the
people
were
scattered
from
off
me,
and
thou
hadst
not
come
at
the
appointment
of
the
days,
and
the
Philistines
are
gathered
to
Michmash,
13:12 and
I
say,
Now
do
the
Philistines
come
down
unto
me
to
Gilgal,
and
the
face
of
Jehovah
I
have
not
appeased;
and
I
force
myself,
and
cause
the
burnt-offering
to
ascend.'
13:13 And
Samuel
saith
unto
Saul,
`Thou
hast
been
foolish;
thou
hast
not
kept
the
command
of
Jehovah
thy
God,
which
He
commanded
thee,
for
now
had
Jehovah
established
thy
kingdom
over
Israel
unto
the
age;
13:14 and,
now,
thy
kingdom
doth
not
stand,
Jehovah
hath
sought
for
Himself
a
man
according
to
His
own
heart,
and
Jehovah
chargeth
him
for
leader
over
His
people,
for
thou
hast
not
kept
that
which
Jehovah
commanded
thee.'
13:15 And
Samuel
riseth,
and
goeth
up
from
Gilgal
to
Gibeah
of
Benjamin;
and
Saul
inspecteth
the
people
who
are
found
with
him,
about
six
hundred
men,
13:16 and
Saul,
and
Jonathan
his
son,
and
the
people
who
are
found
with
them,
are
abiding
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin,
and
the
Philistines
have
encamped
in
Michmash.
13:17 And
the
destroyer
goeth
out
from
the
camp
of
the
Philistines--three
detachments;
the
one
detachment
turneth
unto
the
way
of
Ophrah,
unto
the
land
of
Shual;
13:18 and
the
one
detachment
turneth
the
way
of
Beth-Horon,
and
the
one
detachment
turneth
the
way
of
the
border
which
is
looking
on
the
valley
of
the
Zeboim,
toward
the
wilderness.
13:19 And
an
artificer
is
not
found
in
all
the
land
of
Israel,
for
the
Philistines
said,
`Lest
the
Hebrews
make
sword
or
spear;'
13:20 and
all
Israel
go
down
to
the
Philistines,
to
sharpen
each
his
ploughshare,
and
his
coulter,
and
his
axe,
and
his
mattock;
13:21 and
there
hath
been
the
file
for
mattocks,
and
for
coulters,
and
for
three-pronged
rakes,
and
for
the
axes,
and
to
set
up
the
goads.
13:22 And
it
hath
been,
in
the
day
of
battle,
that
there
hath
not
been
found
sword
and
spear
in
the
hand
of
any
of
the
people
who
[are]
with
Saul
and
with
Jonathan--and
there
is
found
to
Saul
and
to
Jonathan
his
son.
13:23 And
the
station
of
the
Philistines
goeth
out
unto
the
passage
of
Michmash.
