1Samuel:13




jub@1Samuel:13:1 @ Saul was as a son of one year when [he began] to reign, and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

jub@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose three thousand [men] of Israel, [of which] two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and of the rest of the people he sent each one to his tent.

jub@1Samuel:13:3 @ And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul caused the shofar to be blown throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.

jub@1Samuel:13:4 @ And all Israel heard it said [that] Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines and also [that] Israel had become a stench unto the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.

jub@1Samuel:13:5 @ Then 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 camp in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.

jub@1Samuel:13:6 @ When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves and in thickets and in rocks and in high places and in pits.

jub@1Samuel:13:7 @ And [some of] the Hebrews went over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

jub@1Samuel:13:8 @ And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed], but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were deserting from him.

jub@1Samuel:13:9 @ Then Saul said, Bring me a burnt offering and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.

jub@1Samuel:13:10 @ And it came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him that he might bless him.

jub@1Samuel:13:11 @ Then Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were leaving me and [that] thou didst not come within the days appointed and [that] the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash,

jub@1Samuel:13:12 @ therefore, I said, 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.

jub@1Samuel:13:13 @ Then 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 the LORD would have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.

jub@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now thy kingdom shall not stand; the LORD has sought a man after his own heart unto whom the LORD has commanded that he be captain over his people because thou hast not kept [that] which the LORD commanded thee.

jub@1Samuel:13:15 @ And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him, about six hundred men.

jub@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul and Jonathan, his son, and the people [that were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

jub@1Samuel:13:17 @ And three companies came out of the camp of the Philistines to destroy the land. One company turned unto the way [that leads to] Ophrah unto the land of Shual.

jub@1Samuel:13:18 @ Another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron, and another company turned [to] the way of the border that looks to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

jub@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had said, Lest peradventure the Hebrews make swords or spears.

jub@1Samuel:13:20 @ But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen each man his share and his coulter and his axe and his mattock

jub@1Samuel:13:21 @ and when they had nicks in the mattocks and the coulters and the forks and the axes, or to fix a goad.

jub@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came to pass in the day of battle that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were] with Saul and Jonathan except with Saul and with Jonathan his son who had them.

jub@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.:
