6: And when the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 thatH3588 in dangerH6862 forH3588 were distressedH5065 the peopleH5971 then hidH2244 the peopleH5971 in caves,H4631 and in thicketsH2336 and in rocks,H5553 and in holes,H6877 and in pits.H0953

7: And [some of] the HebrewsH5680 crossed overH5674 -H0853 the JordanH3383 to the landH0776 of GadH1410 and Gilead.H1568 And as for Saul,H7586 he [was] stillH5750 in Gilgal,H1537 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 tremblingH2729 followed him.H0310 Then he waitedH3176 sevenH7651 days,H3117 according to the time setH4150 byH0834 SamuelH8050 but notH3808 did comeH0935 SamuelH8050 to Gilgal-H1537 and were scatteredH6327 the peopleH5971 from him.H5921

9: So said,H0559 SaulH7586 bringH5066 here to meH0413 a burnt offeringH5930 and peace offeringsH8002 and he offeredH5927 the burnt offering.H5930

10: And it came to pass,H1961 as soon as he had finishedH3615 presentingH5927 the burnt offering,H5930 that,H2009 SamuelH8050 came-H0935 and went outH3318 SaulH7586 to meet himH7122 that he might greet him.H1288

11: And said,H0559 SamuelH8050 whatH4100 have you done?H6213 and said,H0559 SaulH7586 whenH3588 I sawH7200 thatH3588 were scatteredH5310 the peopleH5971 from meH5921 and [that] youH0859 notH3808 did comeH0935 within appointed,H4150 the daysH3117 and [that] the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH0622 at Michmash-H4363

12: then I saidH0559 nowH6258 will come downH3381 the PhilistinesH6430 on meH0413 at Gilgal,H1537 and toH6440 Yahweh-H3068 notH3808 I have made supplicationH2470 therefore I felt compelledH0662 and offeredH5927 a burnt offering.H5930

13: And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Saul,H7586 You have done foolishly-H5528 notH3808 You have keptH8104 -H0853 the commandmentH4687 of YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 whichH0834 He commanded youH6680 forH3588 nowH6258 would have establishedH3559 YahwehH3068 -H0853 your kingdomH4467 overH0413 IsraelH3478 forH5704 ever.H5769

14: But nowH6258 your kingdomH4467 notH3808 shall continue.H6965 Has soughtH1245 YahwehH3069 a manH0376 after His own heart,H3824 and has commanded himH6680 YahwehH3069 [to be] commanderH5057 overH5921 His people,H5971 becauseH3588 notH3808 you have keptH8104 -H0853 whatH0834 commanded youH6680 Yahweh.H3069

16: And Saul,H7586 and JonathanH3129 his son,H1121 and the peopleH5971 presentH4672 with themH5973 remainedH3427 in GebaH1387 of Benjamin-H1144 but the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in Michmash.H4363

17: And came outH3318 raidersH7843 of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 threeH7969 in companies-H7218 companyH7218 oneH0259 turnedH6437 toH0413 the road toH1870 Ophrah,H6084 toH0413 the landH0776 of Shual,H7777

18: and companyH7218 oneH0259 turned toH6437 the road [to]H1870 Beth Horon,H1032 and companyH7218 oneH0259 turned [to]H6437 the roadH1870 of the borderH1366 that overlooksH8259 toH5921 the Valley of ZeboimH1516 of ZeboimH6650 the toward wilderness.H4057

19: And blacksmithH2796 noH3808 there was to be foundH4672 throughout allH3605 the landH0776 of Israel,H3478 forH3588 said,H0559 the PhilistinesH6430 lestH6435 makeH6213 the HebrewsH5680 swordsH2719 orH0176 spears.H2595

20: But would go downH3381 allH3605 IsraelH3478 to the Philistines,H6430 to sharpenH3913 each man'sH0376 -H0853 plowshare,H4282 andH0853 his mattock,H0855 andH0853 his ax,H7134 andH0853 his sickle.H4281
