And Saul7586 blew8628 the trumpet7782 throughout all the land0776, saying0559, Let the Hebrews5680 hear8085. 13:4 And all Israel3478 heard8085 say0559 {that} Saul7586 had smitten5221 a garrison5333 of the Philistines6430, and {that} Israel3478 also was had in abomination0887 with the Philistines6430. And the people5971 were called together6817 after0310 Saul7586 to Gilgal1537. 13:5 And the Philistines6430 gathered themselves together0622 to fight3898 with Israel3478, thirty7970 thousand0505 chariots7393, and six8337 thousand0505 horsemen6571, and people5971 as the sand2344 which {is} on the sea3220 shore8193 in multitude7230: and they came up5927, and pitched2583 in Michmash4363, eastward6926 from Bethaven1007. 13:6 When the men0376 of Israel3478 saw7200 that they were in a strait6887, (for the people5971 were distressed5065,) then the people5971 did hide2244 themselves in caves4631, and in thickets2337, and in rocks5553, and in high places6877, and in pits0953. 13:7 And {some of} the Hebrews5680 went over5674 Jordan3383 to the land0776 of Gad1410 and Gilead1568. As for Saul7586, he {was} yet in Gilgal1537, and all the people5971 followed0310 him trembling2729. 13:8 And he tarried3176-3176 seven7651 days3117, according to the set time4150 that Samuel8050 {had appointed}: but Samuel8050 came0935 not to Gilgal1537; and the people5971 were scattered6327 from him. 13:9 And Saul7586 said0559, Bring hither5066 a burnt offering5930 to me, and peace offerings8002. And he offered5927 the burnt offering5930. 13:10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end3615 of offering5927 the burnt offering5930, behold, Samuel8050 came0935; and Saul7586 went out3318 to meet7125 him, that he might salute1288 him. 13:11 And Samuel8050 said0559, What hast thou done6213? And Saul7586 said0559, Because I saw7200 that the people5971 were scattered5310 from me, and {that} thou camest0935 not within the days3117 appointed4150, and {that} the Philistines6430 gathered themselves together0622 at Michmash4363; 13:12 Therefore said0559 I, The Philistines6430 will come down3381 now upon me to Gilgal1537, and I have not made supplication2470 unto6440 the LORD3068: I forced0662 myself therefore, and offered5927 a burnt offering5930. 13:13 And Samuel8050 said0559 to Saul7586, Thou hast done foolishly5528: thou hast not kept8104 the commandment4687 of the LORD3068 thy God0430, which he commanded6680 thee: for now would the LORD3068 have established3559 thy kingdom4467 upon Israel3478 for5704 ever5769. 13:14 But now thy kingdom4467 shall not continue6965: the LORD3068 hath sought1245 him a man0376 after his own heart3824, and the LORD3068 hath commanded6680 him {to be} captain5057 over his people5971, because thou hast not kept8104 {that} which the LORD3068 commanded6680 thee. 13:15 And Samuel8050 arose6965, and gat him up5927 from Gilgal1537 unto Gibeah1390 of Benjamin1144. And Saul7586 numbered6485 the people5971 {that were} present4672 with him, about six8337 hundred3967 men0376. 13:16 And Saul7586, and Jonathan3129 his son1121, and the people5971 {that were} present4672 with them, abode3427 in Gibeah1387 of Benjamin1144: but the Philistines6430 encamped2583 in Michmash4363. 13:17 And the spoilers7843 came out3318 of the camp4264 of the Philistines6430 in three7969 companies7218: one0259 company7218 turned6437 unto the way1870 {that leadeth to} Ophrah6084, unto the land0776 of Shual7777: 13:18 And another0259 company7218 turned6437 the way1870 {to} Bethhoron1032: and another0259 company7218 turned6437 {to} the way1870 of the border1366 that looketh8259 to the valley1516 of Zeboim6650 toward the wilderness4057. 13:19 Now there was no smith2796 found4672 throughout all the land0776 of Israel3478: for the Philistines6430 said0559, Lest the Hebrews5680 make6213 {them} swords2719 or spears2595: 13:20 But all the Israelites3478 went down3381 to the Philistines6430, to sharpen3913 every man0376 his share4282, and his coulter0855, and his axe7134, and his mattock4281. 13:21 Yet they had a file6477-6310 for the mattocks4281, and for the coulters0855, and for the forks7969-7053, and for the axes7134, and to sharpen5324 the goads1861. 13:22 So it came to pass in the day3117 of battle4421, that there was neither sword2719 nor spear2595 found4672 in the hand3027 of any of the people5971 that {were} with Saul7586 and Jonathan3129: but with Saul7586 and with Jonathan3129 his son1121 was there found4672. 13:23 And the garrison4673 of the Philistines6430 went out3318 to the passage4569 of Michmash4363.
