Amplified Bible Help
13SAUL WAS [forty] years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,H7586H4427H1121H8141H4427H8147H8141H3478 2Saul chose 3,000 men of Israel; 2,000 were with [him] in Michmash and the hill country of Bethel, and 1,000 with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the men he sent away, each one to his home.H7586H977H7969H505H3478H505H7586H4363H2022H1008H505H3129H1390H1144H3499H5971H7971H376H168 3Jonathan smote the Philistine garrison at Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear!H3129H5221H5333H6430H1387H6430H8085H7586H8628H7782H776H559H5680H8085 4All Israel heard that Saul had defeated the Philistine garrison and also that Israel had become an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.H3478H8085H559H7586H5221H5333H6430H3478H887H6430H5971H6817H310H7586H1537 5And the Philistines gathered to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen and troops like sand on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.H6430H622H3898H3478H7970H505H7393H8337H505H6571H5971H2344H3220H8193H7230H5927H2583H4363H6926H1007 6When the men of Israel saw that they were in a tight situation--for their troops were hard pressed--they hid in caves, holes, rocks, tombs, and pits {or} cisterns.H376H3478H7200H6887H5971H5065H5971H2244H4631H2337H5553H6877H953 7Some Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.H5680H5674H3383H776H1410H1568H7586H1537H5971H310H2729 8Saul waited seven days, according to the set time Samuel had appointed. But Samuel had not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from Saul.H3176H3176H7651H3117H4150H8050H8050H935H1537H5971H6327 9So Saul said, Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering [which he was forbidden to do].H7586H559H5066H5930H8002H5927H5930 10And just as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came! Saul went out to meet and greet him.H3615H5927H5930H8050H935H7586H3318H7125H1288 11Samuel said, What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash,H8050H559H6213H7586H559H7200H5971H5310H935H3117H4150H6430H622H4363 12I thought, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord. So I forced myself to offer a burnt offering.H559H6430H3381H1537H2470H6440H3068H662H5927H5930 13And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly! You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God which He commanded you; for the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever;H8050H559H7586H5528H8104H4687H3068H430H6680H3068H3559H4467H3478H5704H5769 14But now your kingdom shall not continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince {and} ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.H4467H6965H3068H1245H376H3824H3068H6680H5057H5971H8104H3068H6680 15And Samuel went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were left with him, [only] about 600.H8050H6965H5927H1537H1390H1144H7586H6485H5971H4672H8337H3967H376 16Saul and Jonathan his son and the people with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped at Michmash.H7586H3129H1121H5971H4672H3427H1387H1144H6430H2583H4363 17And raiders came out of the Philistine camp in three companies; one company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual,H7843H3318H4264H6430H7969H7218H259H7218H6437H1870H6084H776H7777 18Another turned toward Beth-horon, and another toward the border overlooking the Valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.H259H7218H6437H1870H1032H259H7218H6437H1870H1366H8259H1516H6650H4057 19Now there was no metal worker to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.H2796H4672H776H3478H6430H559H5680H6213H2719H2595 20But each of the Israelites had to go down to the Philistines to get his plowshare, mattock, axe, or sickle sharpened.H3478H3381H6430H3913H376H4282H855H7134H4281 21And the price for plowshares and mattocks was a pim, and a third of a shekel for axes and for setting goads [with resulting blunt edges on the sickles, mattocks, forks, axes, and goads.]H6477H6310H4281H855H7969H7053H7134H5324H1861 22So on the day of battle neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the men who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.H3117H4421H2719H2595H4672H3027H5971H7586H3129H7586H3129H1121H4672 23And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.H4673H6430H3318H4569H4363
