@
Saul
reigned
one
year
; and when he had
reigned
two
years
over
Israel
,
strkjv@1Samuel:13:2
@
Saul
chose
him
three
thousand
men of
Israel
; whereof two
thousand
were with
Saul
in
Michmash
and in
mount
Bethel
Beyth-, and a
thousand
were with
Jonathan
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin
: and the
rest

people
he
sent
every
man
to his
tent
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
Beyth.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
m@, and in
thickets
, and in
rocks
, and in high
places
, and in
pits
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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.
strkjv@1Samuel:13:9
@ And
Saul
said
, Bring
hither
a burnt
offering
to me, and peace
offerings
. And he
offered
the burnt
offering
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
;
strkjv@1Samuel:13:12
@ Therefore
said
I, The
Philistines
will come
down
now upon me to
Gilgal
, and I have not made
supplication
unto
the
LORD
: I
forced
myself therefore, and
offered
a burnt
offering
.
strkjv@1Samuel:13:13
@ And
Samuel
said
to
Saul
, Thou hast done
foolishly
: thou hast not
kept
the
commandment
of the
LORD
thy
God
, which he
commanded
thee: for now would the
LORD
have
established
thy
kingdom
upon
Israel
for
ever
.
strkjv@1Samuel:13:14
@ But now thy
kingdom
shall not
continue
: the
LORD
hath
sought
him a
man
after his own
heart
, and the
LORD
hath
commanded
him to be
captain
over his
people
, because thou hast not
kept
that which the
LORD
commanded
thee.
strkjv@1Samuel:13:15
@ And
Samuel
arose
, and gat him
up
from
Gilgal
unto
Gibeah

Saul
numbered
the
people
that were
present
with him, about
six
hundred
men

strkjv@1Samuel:13:16
@ And
Saul
, and
Jonathan
his

abode
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin
: but the
Philistines
encamped
in
Michmash
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
:
strkjv@1Samuel:13:18
@ And
another
company
turned
the

Bethhoron
Beyth: and
another
company
turned
to the
way
of the
border
that
looketh
to the
valley
of
Zeboim
toward the
wilderness
.
strkjv@1Samuel:13:19
@ Now there was no
smith
found

land
of
Israel
: for the
Philistines
said
, Lest the
Hebrews
make
them
swords
or
spears
:
strkjv@1Samuel:13:20
@ But all the
Israelites
went
down
to the
Philistines
, to
sharpen
every
man
his

coulter

strkjv@1Samuel:13:21

day
of
battle
, that there was neither

spear
found
in the

of any of the

found
