nsb@1Samuel:6:4 @ »What guilt offering shall we send him?« The people asked. They answered: »Five gold models of tumors and five gold mice, one of each for each Philistine king. The same plague was sent on all of you and on the five kings.
nsb@1Samuel:6:12 @ The cows went straight ahead to Bethshemesh. They went on the highway lowing as they went. They did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Bethshemesh.
nsb@1Samuel:6:16 @ After the five rulers of the Philistines saw this, they went back to Ekron that same day.
nsb@1Samuel:6:17 @ The Philistines sent the five gold tumors to Jehovah as a gift to pay for their sins. They included one for each of the cities of Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron.
nsb@1Samuel:6:18 @ They also sent gold mice, one for each of the cities ruled by the five Philistine kings, both the fortified towns and the villages without walls. The large rock in the field of Joshua of Bethshemesh, on which they placed the Ark of Jehovahs Covenant, is still there as a witness to what happened.
nsb@1Samuel:6:21 @ They sent messengers to tell the people of Kiriath-Jearim: »The Philistines have returned the Ark of Jehovah. Will you take it and keep it there with you?«
nsb@1Samuel:7:3 @ Samuel told the entire nation of Israel: »If you return to Jehovah with all your hearts you must get rid of the foreign gods you have, including the statues of the goddess Astarte.

nsb@1Samuel:9:16 @ »This time tomorrow I will send you a man from the territory of Benjamin. Anoint him to be ruler of my people Israel. He will save my people from the Philistines. I have seen my people suffering and their cry has reached me.«

nsb@1Samuel:12:14 @ »All will go well with you if you honor Jehovah your God, serve him, listen to him, and obey his commands. If you and your king follow Jehovah all will be well.
nsb@1Samuel:12:15 @ »But if you do not listen to Jehovah but disobey his commands, he will be against you and your king. He was against your fathers because they disobeyed.
nsb@1Samuel:13:3 @ Jonathan defeated the Philistine troops at Geba. The Philistines heard about it. With the sounding of the trumpet throughout the land, Saul announced: »Let the Hebrews listen!«
nsb@1Samuel:13:4 @ All Israel listened as Saul told that he had defeated the Philistine troops. Now Israel has gone on the offensive against the Philistines. All the troops rallied behind Saul at Gilgal.
nsb@1Samuel:13:5 @ The Philistines assembled to fight Israel. They had thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and as many soldiers as the sand on the seashore. They camped at Michmash, east of Beth Aven.
nsb@1Samuel:13:11 @ Samuel asked: »What have you done?« Saul replied: »I saw the troops were scattering. You did not come when you said you would and the Philistines were assembling at Michmash.
nsb@1Samuel:13:12 @ »So I thought the Philistines will come against me at Gilgal. I have not sought Jehovahs favor. I felt pressured into sacrificing the burnt offering.«

nsb@1Samuel:13:17 @ Raiding parties left the Philistine camp in three companies. One company turned on the road to Ophrah to the region of Shual.

nsb@1Samuel:13:23 @ The garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
nsb@1Samuel:14:1 @ Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who carried his armor: »Come and let us go over to the Philistine outpost on the other side.« He did not tell his father.
nsb@1Samuel:14:4 @ Johathan tried to go over to the Philistines garrison between the passes. There was a rocky crag on each side. The name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other crag was Seneh.
nsb@1Samuel:14:6 @ Jonathan said to the young man: »Let us cross over to the camp of those heathen Philistines. Maybe Jehovah will help us. If he does, nothing can keep him from giving us the victory no matter how few of us there are.«
nsb@1Samuel:14:11 @ So they let the Philistines see them. The Philistines said: »Some Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in!«
nsb@1Samuel:14:13 @ Jonathan climbed out of the pass on his hands and knees. The young man followed him. Jonathan attacked the Philistines and knocked them down. The young man killed them.

nsb@1Samuel:14:31 @ That day they struck down the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, but the people were thoroughly exhausted.
nsb@1Samuel:14:32 @ They grabbed the food they had captured from the Philistines and started eating. They even killed sheep and cows and calves right on the ground and ate the meat without draining the blood.
nsb@1Samuel:14:36 @ Saul said: »Let us attack the Philistines again while it is still dark. We can fight them all night. Let us kill them and take everything they own!« The people answered: »We will do whatever you want.« Ahijah the priest said: »Wait! Let us ask God what we should do.«
nsb@1Samuel:14:37 @ Saul asked God: »Should I attack the Philistines? Will you help us win?« This time God did not answer.
nsb@1Samuel:14:46 @ After that, Saul stopped pursuing the Philistines. The Philistines went back to their own territory.
nsb@1Samuel:14:47 @ After Saul became king of Israel, he fought all his enemies everywhere: the people of Moab, of Ammon, and of Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. He was victorious wherever he fought.
nsb@1Samuel:14:52 @ There was intense warfare with the Philistines as long as Saul lived. Whenever any warrior or any skilled fighting man came to Sauls attention, Saul would enlist him in the army.

nsb@1Samuel:17:4 @ A fighter came out from the tents of the Philistines. His name was Goliath of Gath. He was over nine feet tall.
nsb@1Samuel:17:8 @ Goliath stood and called to the Israelites: »Why do you form a battle line? Am I not a Philistine? Are you Sauls servants? Choose a man, and let him come down to fight me.
nsb@1Samuel:17:10 @ The Philistine added: »I challenge the Israelite battle line today. Send out a man so we can fight each other.«
nsb@1Samuel:17:11 @ Saul and all the Israelites were overcome with fear when they heard what this Philistine said.
nsb@1Samuel:17:16 @ Each morning and evening for forty days the Philistine came forward and made his challenge.
nsb@1Samuel:17:19 @ »King Saul, your brothers, and all the other Israelites are in Elah Valley fighting the Philistines.«

nsb@1Samuel:17:23 @ David talked to his brothers. Goliath came out from the line of Philistines and boasted as usual. David heard him.
nsb@1Samuel:17:26 @ David asked some soldiers standing nearby: »What will a man get for killing this Philistine and stopping him from insulting our people? Who does that worthless Philistine think he is? He makes fun of the army of the living God!«
nsb@1Samuel:17:32 @ David told Saul: »No one should be discouraged because of this. I will go and fight this Philistine.«
nsb@1Samuel:17:33 @ Saul responded to David: »You cannot fight this Philistine. You are just a boy. He has been a warrior since he was your age.«
nsb@1Samuel:17:36 @ »I have killed lions and bears. I will do the same to this heathen Philistine. He has defied the army of the living God.
nsb@1Samuel:17:37 @ »Jehovah saved me from lions and bears. He will save me from this Philistine.« Saul answered: »Go and Jehovah be with you.«
nsb@1Samuel:17:41 @ The Philistine, preceded by the man carrying his shield came closer and closer to David.
nsb@1Samuel:17:42 @ The Philistine got a good look at David and he despised him. David was only a young man with a healthy complexion and good looks.
nsb@1Samuel:17:43 @ The Philistine asked David: »Am I a dog that you come to attack me with sticks?« So the Philistine called on his gods to curse David.
nsb@1Samuel:17:44 @ »Come here,« the Philistine told David, »and I will give your body to the birds.«
nsb@1Samuel:17:46 @ »Today Jehovah will help me defeat you. I will knock you down and cut off your head! I will feed the bodies of the other Philistine soldiers to the birds and wild animals. Then the whole world will know that Israel has a real God.
nsb@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone. The Philistine was wounded and laying on the ground. But David had no sword in his hand.
nsb@1Samuel:17:51 @ He ran to him and stood over him. David took Goliaths sword out of its sheath and cut off his head to kill him. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead they ran away.
nsb@1Samuel:17:52 @ The men of Israel and Judah shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron. The Philistines fell wounded all along the road that leads to Shaaraim, as far as Gath and Ekron.
nsb@1Samuel:17:53 @ The sons of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines. They plundered their tents.
