to meet him, that he might greet him.
013:011 Samuel said, What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw
that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn't
come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines
assembled themselves together at Michmash;
013:012 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down on me
to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of Yahweh: I forced
myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.
013:013 Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly; you have not kept
the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you:
for now would Yahweh have established your kingdom
on Israel forever.
013:014 But now your kingdom shall not continue: Yahweh has sought
him a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him
to be prince over his people, because you have not kept
that which Yahweh commanded you.
013:015 Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin.
Saul numbered the people who were present with him,
about six hundred men.
013:016 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present
with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines
encamped in Michmash.
013:017 The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in
three companies: one company turned to the way that leads
to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
013:018 and another company turned the way to Beth Horon;
and another company turned the way of the border that looks
down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
013:019 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel;
for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them
swords or spears:
013:020 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen
every man his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;
013:021 yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the plowshares,
and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.
013:022 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 who
were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan
his son was there found.
013:023 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
014:001 Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said
to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go
over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on yonder side.
But he didn't tell his father.
014:002 Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate
tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him
were about six hundred men;
014:003 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas,
the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod.
