Chapter 14
Now
it
came
to
pass
upon
a
day,
that
Jonathan
the
son
of
Saul
said
unto
the
young
man
that
bare
his
armour,
Come,
and
let
us
go
over
to
the
Philistines’
garrison,
that
is
on
the
other
side.
But
he
told
not
his
father.
2
And
Saul
tarried
in
the
uttermost
part
of
Gibeah
under
a
pomegranate
tree
which
is
in
Migron:
and
the
people
that
were
with
him
were
about
six
hundred
men;
3
And
Ahiah,
the
son
of
Ahitub,
Ichabod’s
brother,
the
son
of
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eli,
the
Lord’s
priest
in
Shiloh,
wearing
an
ephod.
And
the
people
knew
not
that
Jonathan
was
gone.
4
And
between
the
passages,
by
which
Jonathan
sought
to
go
over
unto
the
Philistines’
garrison,
there
was
a
sharp
rock
on
the
one
side,
and
a
sharp
rock
on
the
other
side:
and
the
name
of
the
one
was
Bozez,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Seneh.
5
The
forefront
of
the
one
was
situate
northward
over
against
Michmash,
and
the
other
southward
over
against
Gibeah.
6
And
Jonathan
said
to
the
young
man
that
bare
his
armour,
Come,
and
let
us
go
over
unto
the
garrison
of
these
uncircumcised:
it
may
be
that
the
Lord
will
work
for
us:
for
there
is
no
restraint
to
the
Lord
to
save
by
many
or
by
few.
7
And
his
armourbearer
said
unto
him,
Do
all
that
is
in
thine
heart:
turn
thee;
behold,
I
am
with
thee
according
to
thy
heart.
8
Then
said
Jonathan,
Behold,
we
will
pass
over
unto
these
men,
and
we
will
discover
ourselves
unto
them.
9
If
they
say
thus
unto
us,
Tarry
until
we
come
to
you;
then
we
will
stand
still
in
our
place,
and
will
not
go
up
unto
them.
10
But
if
they
say
thus,
Come
up
unto
us;
then
we
will
go
up:
for
the
Lord
hath
delivered
them
into
our
hand:
and
this
shall
be
a
sign
unto
us.
11
And
both
of
them
discovered
themselves
unto
the
garrison
of
the
Philistines:
and
the
Philistines
said,
Behold,
the
Hebrews
come
forth
out
of
the
holes
where
they
had
hid
themselves.
12
And
the
men
of
the
garrison
answered
Jonathan
and
his
armourbearer,
and
said,
Come
up
to
us,
and
we
will
shew
you
a
thing.
And
Jonathan
said
unto
his
armourbearer,
Come
up
after
me:
for
the
Lord
hath
delivered
them
into
the
hand
of
Israel.
13
And
Jonathan
climbed
up
upon
his
hands
and
upon
his
feet,
and
his
armourbearer
after
him:
and
they
fell
before
Jonathan;
and
his
armourbearer
slew
after
him.
14
And
that
first
slaughter,
which
Jonathan
and
his
armourbearer
made,
was
about
twenty
men,
within
as
it
were
an
half
acre
of
land,
which
a
yoke
of
oxen
might
plow.
15
And
there
was
trembling
in
the
host,
in
the
field,
and
among
all
the
people:
the
garrison,
and
the
spoilers,
they
also
trembled,
and
the
earth
quaked:
so
it
was
a
very
great
trembling.
16
And
the
watchmen
of
Saul
in
Gibeah
of
Benjamin
looked;
and,
behold,
the
multitude
melted
away,
and
they
went
on
beating
down
one
another.
17
Then
said
Saul
unto
the
people
that
were
with
him,
Number
now,
and
see
who
is
gone
from
us.
And
when
they
had
numbered,
behold,
Jonathan
and
his
armourbearer
were
not
there.
18
And
Saul
said
unto
Ahiah,
Bring
hither
the
ark
of
God.
For
the
ark
of
God
was
at
that
time
with
the
children
of
Israel.
19
And
it
came
to
pass,
while
Saul
talked
unto
the
priest,
that
the
noise
that
was
in
the
host
of
the
Philistines
went
on
and
increased:
and
Saul
said
unto
the
priest,
Withdraw
thine
hand.
20
And
Saul
and
all
the
people
that
were
with
him
assembled
themselves,
and
they
came
to
the
battle:
and,
behold,
every
man’s
sword
was
against
his
fellow,
and
there
was
a
very
great
discomfiture.
21
Moreover
the
Hebrews
that
were
with
the
Philistines
before
that
time,
which
went
up
with
them
into
the
camp
from
the
country
round
about,
even
they
also
turned
to
be
with
the
Israelites
that
were
with
Saul
and
Jonathan.
22
Likewise
all
the
men
of
Israel
which
had
hid
themselves
in
mount
Ephraim,
when
they
heard
that
the
Philistines
fled,
even
they
also
followed
hard
after
them
in
the
battle.
23
So
the
Lord
saved
Israel
that
day:
and
the
battle
passed
over
unto
Beth-aven.
24
And
the
men
of
Israel
were
distressed
that
day:
for
Saul
had
adjured
the
people,
saying,
Cursed
be
the
man
that
eateth
any
food
until
evening,
that
I
may
be
avenged
on
mine
enemies.
So
none
of
the
people
tasted
any
food.
25
And
all
they
of
the
land
came
to
a
wood;
and
there
was
honey
upon
the
ground.
26
And
when
the
people
were
come
into
the
wood,
behold,
the
honey
dropped;
but
no
man
put
his
hand
to
his
mouth:
for
the
people
feared
the
oath.
27
But
Jonathan
heard
not
when
his
father
charged
the
people
with
the
oath:
wherefore
he
put
forth
the
end
of
the
rod
that
was
in
his
hand,
and
dipped
it
in
an
honeycomb,
and
put
his
hand
to
his
mouth;
and
his
eyes
were
enlightened.
28
Then
answered
one
of
the
people,
and
said,
Thy
father
straitly
charged
the
people
with
an
oath,
saying,
Cursed
be
the
man
that
eateth
any
food
this
day.
And
the
people
were
faint.
29
Then
said
Jonathan,
My
father
hath
troubled
the
land:
see,
I
pray
you,
how
mine
eyes
have
been
enlightened,
because
I
tasted
a
little
of
this
honey.
30
How
much
more,
if
haply
the
people
had
eaten
freely
to
day
of
the
spoil
of
their
enemies
which
they
found?
for
had
there
not
been
now
a
much
greater
slaughter
among
the
Philistines?
31
And
they
smote
the
Philistines
that
day
from
Michmash
to
Aijalon:
and
the
people
were
very
faint.
32
And
the
people
flew
upon
the
spoil,
and
took
sheep,
and
oxen,
and
calves,
and
slew
them
on
the
ground:
and
the
people
did
eat
them
with
the
blood.
33
Then
they
told
Saul,
saying,
Behold,
the
people
sin
against
the
Lord,
in
that
they
eat
with
the
blood.
And
he
said,
Ye
have
transgressed:
roll
a
great
stone
unto
me
this
day.
34
And
Saul
said,
Disperse
yourselves
among
the
people,
and
say
unto
them,
Bring
me
hither
every
man
his
ox,
and
every
man
his
sheep,
and
slay
them
here,
and
eat;
and
sin
not
against
the
Lord
in
eating
with
the
blood.
And
all
the
people
brought
every
man
his
ox
with
him
that
night,
and
slew
them
there.
35
And
Saul
built
an
altar
unto
the
Lord:
the
same
was
the
first
altar
that
he
built
unto
the
Lord.
36
And
Saul
said,
Let
us
go
down
after
the
Philistines
by
night,
and
spoil
them
until
the
morning
light,
and
let
us
not
leave
a
man
of
them.
And
they
said,
Do
whatsoever
seemeth
good
unto
thee.
Then
said
the
priest,
Let
us
draw
near
hither
unto
God.
37
And
Saul
asked
counsel
of
God,
Shall
I
go
down
after
the
Philistines?
wilt
thou
deliver
them
into
the
hand
of
Israel?
But
he
answered
him
not
that
day.
38
And
Saul
said,
Draw
ye
near
hither,
all
the
chief
of
the
people:
and
know
and
see
wherein
this
sin
hath
been
this
day.
39
For,
as
the
Lord
liveth,
which
saveth
Israel,
though
it
be
in
Jonathan
my
son,
he
shall
surely
die.
But
there
was
not
a
man
among
all
the
people
that
answered
him.
40
Then
said
he
unto
all
Israel,
Be
ye
on
one
side,
and
I
and
Jonathan
my
son
will
be
on
the
other
side.
And
the
people
said
unto
Saul,
Do
what
seemeth
good
unto
thee.
41
Therefore
Saul
said
unto
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
Give
a
perfect
lot.
And
Saul
and
Jonathan
were
taken:
but
the
people
escaped.
42
And
Saul
said,
Cast
lots
between
me
and
Jonathan
my
son.
And
Jonathan
was
taken.
43
Then
Saul
said
to
Jonathan,
Tell
me
what
thou
hast
done.
And
Jonathan
told
him,
and
said,
I
did
but
taste
a
little
honey
with
the
end
of
the
rod
that
was
in
mine
hand,
and,
lo,
I
must
die.
44
And
Saul
answered,
God
do
so
and
more
also:
for
thou
shalt
surely
die,
Jonathan.
45
And
the
people
said
unto
Saul,
Shall
Jonathan
die,
who
hath
wrought
this
great
salvation
in
Israel?
God
forbid:
as
the
Lord
liveth,
there
shall
not
one
hair
of
his
head
fall
to
the
ground;
for
he
hath
wrought
with
God
this
day.
So
the
people
rescued
Jonathan,
that
he
died
not.
46
Then
Saul
went
up
from
following
the
Philistines:
and
the
Philistines
went
to
their
own
place.
47
So
Saul
took
the
kingdom
over
Israel,
and
fought
against
all
his
enemies
on
every
side,
against
Moab,
and
against
the
children
of
Ammon,
and
against
Edom,
and
against
the
kings
of
Zobah,
and
against
the
Philistines:
and
whithersoever
he
turned
himself,
he
vexed
them.
48
And
he
gathered
an
host,
and
smote
the
Amalekites,
and
delivered
Israel
out
of
the
hands
of
them
that
spoiled
them.
49
Now
the
sons
of
Saul
were
Jonathan,
and
Ishui,
and
Melchi-shua:
and
the
names
of
his
two
daughters
were
these;
the
name
of
the
firstborn
Merab,
and
the
name
of
the
younger
Michal:
50
And
the
name
of
Saul’s
wife
was
Ahinoam,
the
daughter
of
Ahimaaz:
and
the
name
of
the
captain
of
his
host
was
Abner,
the
son
of
Ner,
Saul’s
uncle.
51
And
Kish
was
the
father
of
Saul;
and
Ner
the
father
of
Abner
was
the
son
of
Abiel.
52
And
there
was
sore
war
against
the
Philistines
all
the
days
of
Saul:
and
when
Saul
saw
any
strong
man,
or
any
valiant
man,
he
took
him
unto
him.
