But he told5046 not his father0001. 14:2 And Saul7586 tarried3427 in the uttermost7097 part of Gibeah1390 under a pomegranate tree7416 which {is} in Migron4051: and the people5971 that {were} with him {were} about six8337 hundred3967 men0376; 14:3 And Ahiah0281, the son1121 of Ahitub0285, Ichabod's0350 brother0251, the son1121 of Phinehas6372, the son1121 of Eli5941, the LORD'S3068 priest3548 in Shiloh7887, wearing5375 an ephod0646. And the people5971 knew3045 not that Jonathan3129 was gone1980. 14:4 And between the passages4569, by which Jonathan3129 sought1245 to go over5674 unto the Philistines'6430 garrison4673, {there was} a sharp8127 rock5553 on the one side5676, and a sharp8127 rock5553 on the other side5676: and the name8034 of the one0259 {was} Bozez0949, and the name8034 of the other0259 Seneh5573. 14:5 The forefront8127 of the one0259 {was} situate4690 northward6828 over against4136 Michmash4363, and the other0259 southward5045 over against4136 Gibeah1387. 14:6 And Jonathan3083 said0559 to the young man5288 that bare5375 his armour3627, Come3212, and let us go over5674 unto the garrison4673 of these uncircumcised6189: it may be that the LORD3068 will work6213 for us: for {there is} no restraint4622 to the LORD3068 to save3467 by many7227 or by few4592. 14:7 And his armourbearer5375-3627 said0559 unto him, Do6213 all that {is} in thine heart3824: turn5186 thee; behold, I {am} with thee according to thy heart3824. 14:8 Then said0559 Jonathan3083, Behold, we will pass over5674 unto {these} men0582, and we will discover1540 ourselves unto them. 14:9 If they say0559 thus unto us, Tarry1826 until we come5060 to you; then we will stand still5975 in our place, and will not go up5927 unto them. 14:10 But if they say0559 thus, Come up5927 unto us; then we will go up5927: for the LORD3068 hath delivered5414 them into our hand3027: and this {shall be} a sign0226 unto us. 14:11 And both8147 of them discovered1540 themselves unto the garrison4673 of the Philistines6430: and the Philistines6430 said0559, Behold, the Hebrews5680 come forth3318 out of the holes2356 where they had hid2244 themselves. 14:12 And the men0582 of the garrison4675 answered6030 Jonathan3129 and his armourbearer5375-3627, and said0559, Come up5927 to us, and we will shew3045 you a thing1697. And Jonathan3129 said0559 unto his armourbearer5375-3627, Come up5927 after0310 me: for the LORD3068 hath delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of Israel3478. 14:13 And Jonathan3129 climbed up5927 upon his hands3027 and upon his feet7272, and his armourbearer5375-3627 after0310 him: and they fell5307 before6440 Jonathan3129; and his armourbearer5375-3627 slew4191 after0310 him. 14:14 And that first7223 slaughter4347, which Jonathan3129 and his armourbearer5375-3627 made5221, was about twenty6242 men0376, within as it were an half2677 acre4618 of land7704, {which} a yoke6776 {of oxen might plow}. 14:15 And there was trembling2731 in the host4264, in the field7704, and among all the people5971: the garrison4673, and the spoilers7843, they also trembled2729, and the earth0776 quaked7264: so it was a very great0430 trembling2731. 14:16 And the watchmen6822 of Saul7586 in Gibeah1390 of Benjamin1144 looked7200; and, behold, the multitude1995 melted away4127, and they went3212 on beating down1986 {one another}. 14:17 Then said0559 Saul7586 unto the people5971 that {were} with him, Number6485 now, and see7200 who is gone1980 from us. And when they had numbered6485, behold, Jonathan3129 and his armourbearer5375-3627 {were} not {there}. 14:18 And Saul7586 said0559 unto Ahiah0281, Bring hither5066 the ark0727 of God0430. For the ark0727 of God0430 was at that time3117 with the children1121 of Israel3478. 14:19 And it came to pass, while Saul7586 talked1696 unto the priest3548, that the noise1995 that {was} in the host4264 of the Philistines6430 went3212 on1980 and increased7227: and Saul7586 said0559 unto the priest3548, Withdraw0622 thine hand3027. 14:20 And Saul7586 and all the people5971 that {were} with him assembled2199 themselves, and they came0935 to the battle4421: and, behold, every man's0376 sword2719 was against his fellow7453, {and there was} a very3966 great1419 discomfiture4103. 14:21 Moreover the Hebrews5680 {that} were with the Philistines6430 before0865 that time8032, which went up5927 with them into the camp4264 {from the country} round about5439, even they also {turned} to be with the Israelites3478 that {were} with Saul7586 and Jonathan3129. 14:22 Likewise all the men0376 of Israel3478 which had hid2244 themselves in mount2022 Ephraim0669, {when} they heard8085 that the Philistines6430 fled5127, even they also followed hard1692 after0310 them in the battle4421. 14:23 So the LORD3068 saved3467 Israel3478 that day3117: and the battle4421 passed over5674 unto Bethaven1007. 14:24 And the men0376 of Israel3478 were distressed5065 that day3117: for Saul7586 had adjured0422 the people5971, saying0559, Cursed0779 {be} the man0376 that eateth0398 {any} food3899 until evening6153, that I may be avenged5358 on mine enemies0341. So none of the people5971 tasted2938 {any} food3899. 14:25 And all {they of} the land0776 came0935 to a wood3293; and there was honey1706 upon6440 the ground7704. 14:26 And when the people5971 were come0935 into the wood3293, behold, the honey1706 dropped1982; but no man put5381 his hand3027 to his mouth6310: for the people5971 feared3372 the oath7621. 14:27 But Jonathan3129 heard8085 not when his father0001 charged7650 the people5971 with the oath7650: wherefore he put forth7971 the end7097 of the rod4294 that {was} in his hand3027, and dipped2881 it in an honeycomb3295-1706, and put7725 his hand3027 to his mouth6310; and his eyes5869 were enlightened0215. 14:28 Then answered6030 one0376 of the people5971, and said0559, Thy father0001 straitly7650 charged7650 the people5971 with an oath7650, saying0559, Cursed0779 {be} the man0376 that eateth0398 {any} food3899 this day3117. And the people5971 were faint5774. 14:29 Then said0559 Jonathan3129, My father0001 hath troubled5916 the land0776: see7200, I pray you, how mine eyes5869 have been enlightened0215, because I tasted2938 a little4592 of this honey1706. 14:30 How much more0637, if haply3863 the people5971 had eaten0398 freely0398 to day3117 of the spoil7998 of their enemies0341 which they found4672? for had there not been now a much greater7235 slaughter4347 among the Philistines6430? 14:31 And they smote5221 the Philistines6430 that day3117 from Michmash4363 to Aijalon0357: and the people5971 were very3966 faint5774. 14:32 And the people5971 flew5860-6213 upon the spoil7998, and took3947 sheep6629, and oxen1241, and calves1121, and slew7819 {them} on the ground0776: and the people5971 did eat0398 {them} with the blood1818. 14:33 Then they told5046 Saul7586, saying0559, Behold, the people5971 sin2398 against the LORD3068, in that they eat0398 with the blood1818. And he said0559, Ye have transgressed0898: roll1556 a great1419 stone0068 unto me this day3117. 14:34 And Saul7586 said0559, Disperse6327 yourselves among the people5971, and say0559 unto them, Bring me hither5066 every man0376 his ox7794, and every man0376 his sheep7716, and slay7819 {them} here, and eat0398; and sin2398 not against the LORD3068 in eating0398 with the blood1818. And all the people5971 brought5066 every man0376 his ox7794 with him3027 that night3915, and slew7819 {them} there. 14:35 And Saul7586 built1129 an altar4196 unto the LORD3068: the same was the first2490 altar4196 that he built1129 unto the LORD3068. 14:36 And Saul7586 said0559, Let us go down3381 after0310 the Philistines6430 by night3915, and spoil0962 them until the morning1242 light0216, and let us not leave7604 a man0376 of them. And they said0559, Do6213 whatsoever seemeth5869 good2896 unto thee. Then said0559 the priest3548, Let us draw near7126 hither1988 unto God0430. 14:37 And Saul7586 asked7592 counsel of God0430, Shall I go down3381 after0310 the Philistines6430? wilt thou deliver5414 them into the hand3027 of Israel3478? But he answered6030 him not that day3117. 14:38 And Saul7586 said0559, Draw ye near5066 hither1988, all the chief6438 of the people5971: and know3045 and see7200 wherein4100 this sin2403 hath been this day3117. 14:39 For, {as} the LORD3068 liveth2416, which saveth3467 Israel3478, though it be3426 in Jonathan3129 my son1121, he shall surely4191 die4191. But {there was} not a man among all the people5971 {that} answered6030 him. 14:40 Then said0559 he unto all Israel3478, Be ye on one0259 side5676, and I and Jonathan3129 my son1121 will be on the other0259 side5676. And the people5971 said0559 unto Saul7586, Do6213 what seemeth5869 good2896 unto thee. 14:41 Therefore Saul7586 said0559 unto the LORD3068 God0430 of Israel3478, Give3051 a perfect8549 {lot}. And Saul7586 and Jonathan3129 were taken3920: but the people5971 escaped3318. 14:42 And Saul7586 said0559, Cast5307 {lots} between me and Jonathan3129 my son1121. And Jonathan3129 was taken3920. 14:43 Then Saul7586 said0559 to Jonathan3129, Tell5046 me what thou hast done6213. And Jonathan3129 told5046 him, and said0559, I did but2938 taste2938 a little4592 honey1706 with the end7097 of the rod4294 that {was} in mine hand3027, {and}, lo2009, I must die4191. 14:44 And Saul7586 answered0559, God0430 do so6213 and more also3254: for thou shalt surely4191 die4191, Jonathan3129. 14:45 And the people5971 said0559 unto Saul7586, Shall Jonathan3129 die4191, who hath wrought6213 this great1419 salvation3444 in Israel3478? God forbid2486: {as} the LORD3068 liveth2416, there shall not one hair8185 of his head7218 fall5307 to the ground0776; for he hath wrought6213 with God0430 this day3117. So the people5971 rescued6299 Jonathan3129, that he died4191 not. 14:46 Then Saul7586 went up5927 from following0310 the Philistines6430: and the Philistines6430 went1980 to their own place4725. 14:47 So Saul7586 took3920 the kingdom4410 over Israel3478, and fought3898 against all his enemies0341 on every side5439, against Moab4124, and against the children1121 of Ammon5983, and against Edom0123, and against the kings4428 of Zobah6678, and against the Philistines6430: and whithersoever he turned6437 himself, he vexed7561 {them}. 14:48 And he gathered6213 an host2428, and smote5221 the Amalekites6002, and delivered5337 Israel3478 out of the hands3027 of them that spoiled8154 them. 14:49 Now the sons1121 of Saul7586 were Jonathan3129, and Ishui3440, and Melchishua4444: and the names8034 of his two8147 daughters1323 {were these}; the name8034 of the firstborn1067 Merab4764, and the name8034 of the younger6996 Michal4324: 14:50 And the name8034 of Saul's7586 wife0802 {was} Ahinoam0293, the daughter1323 of Ahimaaz0290: and the name8034 of the captain8269 of his host6635 {was} Abner0074, the son1121 of Ner5369, Saul's7586 uncle1730. 14:51 And Kish7027 {was} the father0001 of Saul7586; and Ner5369 the father0001 of Abner0074 {was} the son1121 of Abiel0022. 14:52 And there was sore2389 war4421 against the Philistines6430 all the days3117 of Saul7586: and when Saul7586 saw7200 any strong1368 man0376, or any valiant2428 man1121, he took0622 him unto him.
