1: And it came to passH1961 one day,H3117 that saidH0559 JonathanH3129 sonH1121 of SaulH7586 toH0413 the young manH5288 who boreH5375 his armor,H3627 come,H1980 and let us go overH5674 toH0413 the garrison,H4673 Philistines'H6430 that [is]H0834 on other sideH5676 thisH1975 but his fatherH0001 notH3808 he did tell.H5046
2: And SaulH7586 was sittingH3427 in the outskirtsH7097 of GibeahH1390 underH8478 a pomegranate treeH7416 which [is]H0834 in Migron.H4051 And the people [were]H5971 who [were]H0834 with himH5973 about sixH8337 hundredH3967 men-H0376
3: and Ahijah,H0281 the sonH1121 of Ahitub,H0285 brother,H0251 of IchabodH0350 sonH1121 of Phinehas,H6372 the sonH1121 of Eli,H5941 priestH3548 of YahwehH3068 in Shiloh,H7887 was wearingH5375 an ephod.H0646 But the peopleH5971 notH3808 did knowH3045 thatH3588 had goneH1980 Jonathan.H3129
4: And BetweenH0996 the passes,H4569 by whichH0834 soughtH1245 JonathanH3129 to go overH5674 toH5921 the garrison,H4673 Philistines'H6430 sharpH8127 [there was] a rockH5553 on the side,H5676 from this [one]H2088 and sharpH8127 a rockH5553 on the side,H5676 from this [one]H2088 and the nameH8034 of oneH0259 [was] Bozez,H0949 and the nameH8034 of oneH0259 Seneh.H5573
5: The frontH8127 of oneH0259 facedH4690 northwardH6828 oppositeH4136 Michmash,H4363 and oneH0259 southwardH5045 oppositeH4136 Geba.H1387
6: And saidH0559 JonathanH3083 toH0413 the young manH5288 who boreH5375 his armor,H3627 come,H1980 and let us go overH5674 toH0413 the garrisonH4673 of uncircumcised-H6189 theseH0428 it may be thatH0194 will workH6213 YahwehH3068 forH3588 nothingH0369 YahwehH3068 restrainsH4622 from savingH3467 by manyH7227 orH0176 by few.H4592
7: So saidH0559 bearerH5375 his armorbearerH3627 doH6213 allH3605 that isH0834 in your heart-H3824 go thenH5186 here I amH2005 with youH5973 according to your heart.H3824
8: And saidH0559 Jonathan,H3083 Very well,H2009 weH0587 wil cross overH5674 toH0413 [these] menH0582 and we will show ourselvesH1540 to them.H0413
9: IfH0518 thusH3541 they sayH0559 to usH0413 WaitH1826 untilH5704 we comeH5060 to youH0413 then we will stand stillH5975 in our place,H8478 and notH3808 go upH5927 to them.H0413
10: But ifH0518 thus,H3541 they sayH0559 come upH5927 to usH5921 then we will go up-H5927 forH3588 has delivered themH5414 YahwehH3068 into our hand-H3027 and this [will be]H2088 a sign.H0226
11: So showed themselvesH1540 the two of themH8147 toH0413 the garrisonH4673 of the Philistines,H6430 and said,H0559 the PhilistinesH6430 Look,H2009 the HebrewsH5680 are comingH3318 outH4480 of the holesH2356 whereH0834 they have hiddenH2244 there.H8033
12: And calledH6030 the menH0376 of the garrisonH4675 -H0853 to JonathanH3129 andH0853 bearerH5375 his armorbearer,H3627 and said,H0559 come upH5927 to usH0413 and we will showH3045 youH0853 something.H1697 And saidH0559 JonathanH3129 toH0413 bearerH5375 his armorbearer,H3627 come upH5927 after meH0310 forH3588 has delivered themH5414 YahwehH3068 into the handH3027 of Israel.H3478
13: And climbed upH5927 JonathanH3129 onH5921 his handsH3027 andH5921 knees,H7272 and withH5375 his armorbearerH3627 after himH0310 and they fellH5307 beforeH6440 JonathanH3129 and as he cameH5375 his armorbearerH3627 killed themH4191 after him.H0310
14: And wasH1961 that slaughter,H4347 firstH7223 whichH0834 made,H5221 JonathanH3129 andH5375 his armorbearerH3627 about twentyH6242 men,H0376 about within halfH2677 an acreH4618 -H6776 of land,H7704
15: and there wasH1961 tremblingH2731 in the camp,H4264 in the field,H7704 and among allH3605 the people.H5971 The garrison,H4673 and the raiders,H7843 trembled,H2729 alsoH1571 theyH1992 and quaked-H7264 the earthH0776 wasH1961 and terrorH2731 from God.H0430
16: And looked-H7200 the watchmenH6822 of SaulH7586 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 and [there] was,H2009 the multitudeH1995 melting away,H4127 and they went hereH1980 and there.H1986
17: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 to the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 call the rollH6485 now,H4994 and seeH7200 whoH4310 has goneH1980 from usH5973 and when they had called the roll,H6485 and surprisingly,H2009 [were] not [there]H0369 JonathanH3129 andH5375 his armorbearer.H3627
18: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 to Ahijah,H0281 bring hereH5066 the arkH0727 of God.H0430 ForH3588 wasH1961 the arkH0727 of GodH0430 at timeH3117 thatH1931 and with the sonsH1121 of Israel.H3478
19: And it came to pass,H1961 whileH5704 talkedH1696 SaulH7586 toH0413 the priest,H3548 that the noiseH1995 that [was]H0834 in the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 andH1980 continued toH1980 and increase-H7227 so saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 the priest,H3548 WithdrawH0622 your hand.H3027
20: And assembled,H2199 SaulH7586 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 who [were]H0834 with himH0854 and they wentH0935 toH5704 the battle-H4421 and indeed,H2009 wasH1961 swordH2719 of every manH0376 against his neighbor,H7453 [and there was] confusionH4103 greatH1419 very.H3966
21: Moreover the HebrewsH5680 [who] wereH1961 with the PhilistinesH6430 beforeH0865 that time,H8032 whoH0834 went upH5927 with themH5973 into the campH4264 [from the] surrounding [country],H5439 and alsoH1571 theyH1992 joinedH1961 withH5973 IsraelH3478 who [were]H0834 withH5973 SaulH7586 and Jonathan.H3129
22: And Likewise allH3605 the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 who had hiddenH2244 in the mountainsH2022 of Ephraim,H0669 [when] they heardH8085 thatH3588 fled,H5127 the PhilistinesH6430 and followed hardH1692 alsoH1571 theyH1992 after themH0310 in the battle.H4421
23: So savedH3467 YahwehH3068 day,H3117 thatH1931 -H0853 IsraelH3478 and the battleH4421 shiftedH5674 toH0853 Beth Aven.H1007
24: And the menH0376 of IsraelH3478 were distressedH5065 day,H3117 thatH1931 for had placed under oathH0422 SaulH7586 -H0853 the people,H5971 saying,H0559 Cursed [is]H0779 the manH0376 whoH0834 eatsH0398 [any] foodH3899 untilH5704 evening,H6153 and before I have taken vengeanceH5358 on my enemies.H0341 So noneH3808 of tastedH2938 all mannerH3605 the peopleH5971 food.H3899
25: And all [the people]H3605 of the landH0776 cameH0935 to a forest-H3293 and there wasH1961 honeyH1706 onH5921 onH6440 the ground.H7704
26: And when had comeH0935 the peopleH5971 intoH0413 the woods,H3293 and there was,H2009 dripping-H1982 the honeyH1706 but no oneH0369 putH5381 his handH3027 toH0413 his mouth,H6310 forH3588 fearedH3372 the peopleH5971 -H0853 the oath.H7621
27: But JonathanH3129 notH3808 had heardH8085 charge with the oathH7650 his fatherH0001 -H0853 the peopleH5971 therefore he stretched outH7971 -H0853 the endH7097 of the rodH4294 that [was]H0834 in his hand,H3027 and dippedH2881 itH0853 inH3295 a honeycomb,H1706 and putH7725 his handH3027 toH0413 his mouth-H6310 and brightenedH7200 his countenance.H5869
28: AndH6030 oneH0376 of the people,H5971 and said,H0559 strictly,H7650 charged with an oathH7650 Your fatherH0001 -H0853 the peopleH5971 saying,H0559 Cursed [is]H0779 the manH0376 whoH0834 eatsH0398 foodH3899 this dayH3117 and were faintH5774 the people.H5971
29: But saidH0559 JonathanH3129 has troubledH5916 My fatherH0001 -H0853 the land.H0776 Look,H7200 now,H4994 howH3588 has brightened,H0215 my countenanceH5869 becauseH3588 I tastedH2938 a littleH4592 of honeyH1706 this.H2088
30: How much moreH0637 how much betterH3588 ifH3863 freelyH0398 had eatenH0398 todayH3117 the peopleH5971 of the spoilH7998 of their enemiesH0341 whichH0834 they found?H4672 forH3588 nowH6258 notH3808 would there have been a much greaterH7235 slaughterH4347 among the Philistines?H6430
31: and they had driven backH5221 dayH3117 thatH1931 the PhilistinesH6430 from MichmashH4363 to Aijalon.H0357 So were faintH5774 the peopleH5971 very.H3966 And rushedH6213 the peopleH5971 onH0413 the spoil,H7998 and tookH3947 sheep,H6629 and oxen,H1241 andH1121 calves,H1241 and slaughtered [them]H7819 on the ground-H0776 and ate [them]H0398 the peopleH5971 withH5921 the blood.H1818
33: And they toldH5046 Saul,H7586 saying,H0559 Look,H2009 the peopleH5971 are sinningH2398 against Yahweh,H3068 by eatingH0398 withH5921 the blood.H1818 So he said,H0559 You have dealt treacherously-H0898 rollH1556 to meH0413 this dayH3117 a stoneH0068 large.H1419
34: And said,H0559 SaulH7586 Disperse yourselvesH6327 among the people,H5971 and sayH0559 bringH5066 me hereH0413 every man'sH0376 ox,H7794 and every man'sH0376 sheep,H7716 and slaughter [them]H7819 in this [place],H2088 and eat-H0398 and notH3808 do sinH2398 against YahwehH3068 by eatingH0398 withH0413 the blood.H1818 So broughtH5066 allH3605 the peopleH5971 every oneH0376 of his oxH7794 with himH3027 that night,H3915 and slaughtered [it]H7819 there.H8033
35: And builtH1129 SaulH7586 an altarH4196 to Yahweh-H3068 -H0853 this was the firstH2490 that he builtH1129 altarH4196 to Yahweh.H3068
36: And said,H0559 SaulH7586 let us go downH3381 afterH0310 the PhilistinesH6430 by night,H3915 and plunderH0962 untilH5704 light,H0216 the morningH1242 and notH3808 let us leaveH7604 a manH0376 and they said,H0559 whateverH3605 seems goodH2896 to youH5869 doH6213 and saidH0559 the priest,H3548 let us draw nearH7126 hereH1988 toH0413 God.H0430
37: So asked counselH7592 SaulH7586 of God,H0430 shall I go downH3381 afterH0310 the Philistines?H6430 will You deliver themH5414 into the handH3027 of Israel?H3478 but notH3808 He did answer himH6030 dayH3117 that.H1931
38: And said,H0559 SaulH7586 come over youH5066 here,H1988 allH3605 the chiefsH6438 of people,H5971 and knowH3045 and seeH7200 whatH4100 wasH1961 sinH2403 thisH2063 today.H3117
39: For [as],H3588 lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 who savesH3467 -H0853 Israel,H3478 thoughH3588 thoughH0518 it beH3426 in JonathanH3129 my son,H1121 forH3588 surelyH4191 he shall die.H4191 But not a manH0369 answered himH6030 among allH3605 the people.H5971
40: And he saidH0559 toH0413 allH3605 Israel,H3478 YouH0859 beH1961 on side,H5676 oneH0259 and IH0589 and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121 will beH1961 on side.H5676 OneH0259 and saidH0559 the peopleH5971 toH0413 Saul,H7586 what seems goodH2896 to youH5869 do.H6213
41: Therefore saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 GiveH3051 a perfect [lot]H8549 so were taken,H3920 JonathanH3129 and SaulH7586 but the peopleH5971 escaped.H3318
42: And said,H0559 SaulH7586 Cast [lots]H5307 between meH0996 andH0996 JonathanH3129 my sonH1121 so was takenH3920 Jonathan.H3129
43: And saidH0559 SaulH7586 toH0413 JonathanH3129 TellH5046 whatH4100 you have done.H6213 And toldH5046 JonathanH3129 and said,H0559 onlyH2938 I tastedH2938 with the endH7097 of the rodH4294 that [was]H0834 in my hand,H3027 a littleH4592 honeyH1706 so nowH2005 I must die.H4191
44: And answered,H0559 SaulH7586 soH3541 doH6213 GodH0430 and also,H3541 moreH3254 forH3588 surelyH4191 you shall die,H4191 Jonathan.H3129
45: But saidH0559 the peopleH5971 toH0413 Saul,H7586 shall JonathanH3129 die,H4191 whoH0834 has accomplishedH6213 deliveranceH3444 greatH1419 thisH2063 in Israel?H3478 Certainly not-H2486 lives,H2416 [As] YahwehH3068 notH0518 shall fallH5307 one hairH8185 of his headH7218 to the ground-H0776 forH3588 withH5973 GodH0430 he has workedH6213 day.H3117 ThisH2088 so rescuedH6299 the peopleH5971 -H0853 JonathanH3129 and notH3808 he did die.H4191
46: And returnedH5927 SaulH7586 from pursuingH0310 the Philistines,H6430 and the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 to their own place.H4725
47: So SaulH7586 establishedH3920 his sovereigntyH4410 overH5921 Israel,H3478 and foughtH3898 on every side,H5439 against allH3605 his enemiesH0341 against Moab,H4124 and against the sonsH1121 of Ammon,H5983 and against Edom,H0123 and against the kingsH4428 of Zobah,H6678 and against the Philistines-H6430 andH3605 whereverH0834 he turnedH6437 he harassed [them].H7561
48: And he gatheredH6213 an army,H2428 and attackedH5221 -H0853 the Amalekites,H6002 and deliveredH5337 -H0853 IsraelH3478 from the handsH3027 of those who plundered them.H8154
49: And wereH1961 the sonsH1121 of SaulH7586 JonathanH3129 and Ishvi,H3440 Malchishua-H4444 and the names [were these]H8034 of twoH8147 his daughtersH1323 the nameH8034 of the firstbornH1067 Merab,H4764 and the nameH8034 of the youngerH6996 Michal.H4324
50: And the nameH8034 of wifeH0802 of SaulH7586 [was] Ahinoam,H0293 the daughterH1323 of Ahimaaz.H0290 And the nameH8034 of the commanderH8269 of his armyH6635 [was] Abner,H0074 sonH1121 of Ner,H5369 uncleH1730 of Saul.H7586
51: And Kish [was]H7027 the fatherH0001 of Saul-H7586 and NerH5369 the fatherH0001 of Abner [was]H0074 the sonH1121 of Abiel.H0022
52: And there wasH1961 warH4421 mightyH2389 withH5921 the PhilistinesH6430 allH3605 the daysH3117 of Saul-H7586 and when sawH7200 SaulH7586 anyH3605 man,H0376 strongH1368 or anyH3605 son,H1121 valiantH2428 and he took himH0622 for himself.H0413
