Chapter 13
Saul
reigned
one
yeere,
and
when
he
had
reigned
two
yeeres
ouer
Israel,
2
Saul
chose
him
three
thousand
men
of
Israel:
whereof
two
thousand
were
with
Saul
in
Michmash,
and
in
mount
Bethel,
and
a
thousand
were
with
Ionathan
in
Gibeah
of
Beniamin:
and
the
rest
of
the
people
he
sent
euery
man
to
his
tent.
3
And
Ionathan
smote
the
garison
of
the
Philistines
that
was
in
Geba,
and
the
Philistines
heard
of
it:
and
Saul
blew
the
trumpet
thorowout
all
the
land,
saying,
Let
the
Hebrewes
heare.
4
And
all
Israel
heard
say,
that
Saul
had
smitten
a
garison
of
the
Philistines,
and
that
Israel
also
was
had
in
abomination
with
the
Philistines:
and
the
people
were
called
together
after
Saul
to
Gilgal.
5
And
the
Philistines
gathered
themselues
together,
to
fight
with
Israel,
thirtie
thousand
charets,
and
sixe
thousand
horsemen,
and
people
as
the
sand
which
is
on
the
sea
shore
in
multitude,
and
they
came
vp,
and
pitched
in
Michmash,
Eastward
from
Bethauen.
6
When
the
men
of
Israel
saw
that
they
were
in
a
strait:
(for
the
people
were
distressed:)
then
the
people
did
hide
themselues
in
caues,
and
in
thickets,
and
in
rocks,
and
in
high
places,
and
in
pits.
7
And
some
of
the
Hebrewes
went
ouer
Iordane,
to
the
land
of
Gad
and
Gilead;
as
for
Saul,
he
was
yet
in
Gilgal,
and
all
the
people
followed
him
trembling.
8
And
he
taried
seuen
dayes,
according
to
the
set
time
that
Samuel
had
appointed:
but
Samuel
came
not
to
Gilgal,
and
the
people
were
scattered
from
him.
9
And
Saul
said,
Bring
hither
a
burnt
offring
to
me,
and
peace
offrings.
And
he
offered
the
burnt
offering.
10
And
it
came
to
passe
that
assoone
as
he
had
made
an
end
of
offering
the
burnt
offering,
behold,
Samuel
came,
and
Saul
went
out
to
meete
him,
that
he
might
salute
him.
11
And
Samuel
said,
What
hast
thou
done?
And
Saul
said,
Because
I
sawe
that
the
people
were
scattered
from
me,
and
that
thou
camest
not
within
the
dayes
appointed,
and
that
the
Philistines
gathered
themselues
together
to
Michmash:
12
Therfore
said
I,
The
Philistines
will
come
downe
now
vpon
me
to
Gilgal,
and
I
haue
not
made
supplication
vnto
the
Lord:
I
forced
my
selfe
therefore,
and
offered
a
burnt
offering.
13
And
Samuel
said
to
Saul,
Thou
hast
done
foolishly:
thou
hast
not
kept
the
commandement
of
the
Lord
thy
God,
which
hee
commanded
thee:
for
now
would
the
Lord
haue
established
thy
kingdome
vpon
Israel
for
euer.
14
But
now
thy
kingdome
shall
not
continue:
the
Lord
hath
sought
him
a
man
after
his
owne
heart,
and
the
Lord
hath
commanded
him
to
bee
captaine
ouer
his
people,
because
thou
hast
not
kept
that
which
the
Lord
commanded
thee.
15
And
Samuel
arose,
and
gate
him
vp
from
Gilgal,
vnto
Gibeah
of
Beniamin,
and
Saul
numbred
the
people
that
were
present
with
him,
about
sixe
hundred
men.
16
And
Saul
and
Ionathan
his
sonne,
and
the
people
that
were
present
with
them,
abode
in
Gibeah
of
Beniamin:
but
the
Philistines
encamped
in
Michmash.
17
And
the
spoilers
came
out
of
the
campe
of
the
Philistines,
in
three
companies:
one
company
turned
vnto
the
way
that
leadeth
to
Ophrah,
vnto
the
land
of
Shual.
18
And
another
company
turned
the
way
to
Bethoron:
and
another
companie
turned
to
the
way
of
the
border,
that
looketh
to
the
valley
of
Zeboim
toward
the
wildernesse.
19
Now
there
was
no
smith
found
thorowout
all
the
land
of
Israel:
for
the
Philistines
said,
Lest
the
Hebrewes
make
them
swords
or
speares.
20
But
all
the
Israelites
went
downe
to
the
Philistines,
to
sharpen
euery
man
his
share
and
his
coulter,
and
his
axe,
and
his
mattocke.
21
Yet
they
had
a
file
for
the
mattocks,
and
for
the
coulters,
and
for
the
forkes,
and
for
the
axes,
and
to
sharpen
the
goads.
22
So
it
came
to
passe
in
the
day
of
battell,
that
there
was
neither
sword
nor
speare
found
in
the
hand
of
any
of
the
people
that
were
with
Saul
and
Ionathan:
but
with
Saul
&
with
Ionathan
his
sonne
was
there
found.
23
And
the
garison
of
the
Philistines
went
out
to
the
passage
of
Michmash.
