Erven Parallel Bible with Kjvp for 1Samuel 14 1

1 That day, Saul's son Jonathan was talking with the young man who carried his weapons. Jonathan said, "Let's go to the Philistine camp on the other side of the valley." But Jonathan did not tell his father.

2 Saul was sitting under a pomegranate tree at the threshing floor at the edge of the hill. Saul had about 600 men with him.

3 One of the men was named Ahijah. Ahijah was a son of Ichabod's brother Ahitub. Ichabod was the son of Phinehas. Phinehas was the son of Eli. Eli had been the Lord's priest at Shiloh. Now Ahijah was the priest who wore the ephod. These men did not know that Jonathan had left.

4 Jonathan was planning to go through a pass to get to the Philistine camp. There was a large rock on each side of the pass. The large rock on one side was named Bozez. The large rock on the other side was named Seneh.

5 One of the rocks faced north toward Micmash, and the other faced south toward Geba.

6 Jonathan said to his young helper who carried his weapons, "Come on, let's go to the camp of those foreigners. Maybe the Lord will use us to defeat them. Nothing can stop the Lord�it doesn't matter if we have many soldiers or just a few soldiers."

7 The young man who carried Jonathan's weapons said to him, "Do what you think is best. I am with you all the way."

8 Jonathan said, "Let's go! We'll cross the valley and go to the Philistine guards. We'll let them see us.

9 If they say to us, 'Stay there until we come to you,' we will stay where we are. We won't go up to them.

10 But if the Philistine men say, 'Come up here,' then we will climb up to them. That will be a sign from God. That will mean that the Lord will allow us to defeat them."

11 So Jonathan and his helper let the Philistines see them. The Philistine guards said, "Look! The Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in."

12 The Philistines in the fort shouted to Jonathan and his helper, "Come up here. We'll teach you a lesson." Jonathan said to his helper, "Follow me up the hill. The Lord is letting Israel defeat the Philistines."

13 So Jonathan climbed up the hill with his hands and feet, and his helper was right behind him. Jonathan and his helper attacked them. In the first attack, they killed 20 Philistines in an area about onehalf acre in size. Jonathan fought the men who attacked from the front. His helper came behind him and killed the men who were only wounded.

15 Great fear spread among the Philistine soldiers�those in the field, in the camp, and at the fort. Even the bravest soldiers were afraid. The ground began to shake, and they were completely overcome with fear.

16 Saul's guards at Gibeah in the land of Benjamin saw the Philistine soldiers running away in different ways.

17 Saul said to the army with him, "Count the men. I want to know who left camp." They counted the men. Jonathan and his helper were gone.

18 Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring God's Holy Box!" (At that time it was there with the Israelites.)

19 Saul was talking to Ahijah the priest {waiting for advice from God}. But the noise and confusion in the Philistine camp was growing and growing. Saul was becoming impatient. Finally, he said to Ahijah the priest, "That's enough. Put your hand down {and stop praying}."

20 Saul gathered his army together and went to the battle. The Philistine soldiers were very confused. They were even fighting each other with their swords.

21 There were Hebrews who served the Philistines in the past and who stayed in the Philistine camp. But now these Hebrews joined the Israelites with Saul and Jonathan.

22 All the Israelites who had hidden in the hill country of Ephraim heard the Philistine soldiers were running away. So these Israelites also joined in the battle and began chasing the Philistines.

23 So the Lord saved the Israelites that day. The battle moved on past Beth Aven. The whole army was with Saul�he now had about 10,000 men. The battle spread to every city in the hill country of Ephraim.

24 But Saul made a big mistake that day. He made this oath: Saul said, "If any man eats food before evening comes, before I finish defeating my enemies, he will be under a curse." He made the soldiers promise not to eat. So none of them ate anything.

25 Because of the fighting, the people went into some woods. Then they saw a honeycomb on the ground. The Israelites went up to the honeycomb, but they didn't eat any of it. They were afraid to break the promise.

26 vnumber="26">

27 But Jonathan didn't know about the oath. He didn't hear his father make the soldiers promise not to eat. Jonathan had a stick in his hand, so he dipped the end of the stick into the honeycomb and pulled out some honey. He ate the honey and began to feel much better.

28 One of the soldiers told Jonathan, "Your father forced the soldiers to make a special promise. He said that any man who eats today will be under a curse. So the men have not eaten anything. That's why they are weak."

29 Jonathan said, "My father has brought a lot of trouble to the land. See how much better I feel after tasting just a little of this honey.

30 It would have been much better for the men to eat the food that they took from their enemies today. We could have killed more Philistines."

31 That day the Israelites defeated the Philistines. They fought them all the way from Micmash to Aijalon. So the people were very tired and hungry.

32 They had taken sheep, cows, and calves from the Philistines. Now they were so hungry that they killed the animals on the ground and ate them. And the blood was still in the animals.

33 Someone said to Saul, "Look, the men are sinning against the Lord. They're eating meat that still has blood in it!" Saul said, "You have sinned. Roll a large stone over here now!"

34 Then Saul said, "Go to the men and tell them that each one must bring his bull and sheep to me. Then the men must kill their bulls and sheep here. Don't sin against the Lord! Don't eat meat that still has blood in it." That night everyone brought their animals and killed them there.

35 Then Saul built an altar for the Lord. Saul himself began building that altar for the Lord.

36 Saul said, "Let's go after the Philistines tonight. We will take everything from them. We will kill them all!" The army answered, "Do whatever you think is best." But the priest said, "Let's ask God."

37 So Saul asked God, "Should I go chase the Philistines? Will you let us defeat the Philistines?" But God did not answer Saul that day.

38 So Saul said, "Bring all the leaders to me! Let's find who committed the sin today.

39 I swear by the Lord who saves Israel, that even if my own son Jonathan sinned, he must die." None of the people said a word.

40 Then Saul said to all the Israelites, "You stand on this side. I and my son Jonathan will stand on the other side." The soldiers answered, "As you wish, sir."

41 Then Saul prayed, "Lord, God of Israel, why haven't you answered your servant today? If I or my son Jonathan have sinned, Lord, God of Israel, give Urim. If your people Israel have sinned, give Thummim. " Saul and Jonathan were chosen, and the people went free.

42 Saul said, "Throw them again to show who is guilty�me or my son Jonathan." Jonathan was chosen.

43 Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." Jonathan told Saul, "I only tasted a little honey from the end of my stick. Should I die for doing that?"

44 Saul said, "I made an oath and asked God to punish me if I didn't keep it. Jonathan, you must die."

45 But the soldiers said to Saul, "Jonathan led Israel to a great victory today. Must Jonathan die? Never! We swear by the living God that not one hair of Jonathan's head will fall to the ground! God helped Jonathan fight against the Philistines today." So the people saved Jonathan. He was not put to death.

46 Saul did not chase the Philistines. The Philistines went back to their place.

47 Saul took full control of Israel and fought all the enemies who lived around Israel. Saul fought Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the king of Zobah, and the Philistines. He defeated Israel's enemies wherever he went.

48 Saul was very brave. He saved Israel from all the enemies who tried to take things from the Israelites. He even defeated the Amalekites.

49 Saul's sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malki Shua. Saul's older daughter was named Merab. Saul's younger daughter was named Michal.

50 Saul's wife was named Ahinoam. Ahinoam was the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul's army was named Abner son of Ner. Ner was Saul's uncle.

51 Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel.

52 Saul was brave all his life. He fought hard against the Philistines. Any time Saul saw a man who was strong or brave, he took that man and put him into the group of soldiers who stayed near the king and protected him.

1 Now it came to pass ^H1961 upon a day, ^H3117 that Jonathan ^H3083 the son ^H1121 of Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 unto ^H413 the young man ^H5288 that bore ^H5375 his armor, ^H3627 Come, ^H1980 and let us go over ^H5674 to ^H413 the Philistines' ^H6430 garrison, ^H4673 that ^H834 is on the other side ^H4480 H5676. ^H1975 But he told ^H5046 not ^H3808 his father. ^H1

2 And Saul ^H7586 tarried ^H3427 in the uttermost part ^H7097 of Gibeah ^H1390 under ^H8478 a pomegranate tree ^H7416 which ^H834 is in Migron: ^H4051 and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H5973 him were about six ^H8337 hundred ^H3967 men; ^H376

3 And Ahiah, ^H281 the son ^H1121 of Ahitub, ^H285 Ichabod's ^H350 brother, ^H251 the son ^H1121 of Phinehas, ^H6372 the son ^H1121 of Eli, ^H5941 the LORD's ^H3068 priest ^H3548 in Shiloh, ^H7887 wearing ^H5375 an ephod. ^H646 And the people ^H5971 knew ^H3045 not ^H3808 that ^H3588 Jonathan ^H3083 was gone. ^H1980

4 And between ^H996 the passages, ^H4569 by which ^H834 Jonathan ^H3083 sought ^H1245 to go over ^H5674 unto ^H5921 the Philistines' ^H6430 garrison, ^H4673 there was a sharp ^H8127 rock ^H5553 on the one ^H4480 ^H2088 side ^H4480 ^H5676 , and a sharp ^H8127 rock ^H5553 on the other ^H4480 ^H2088 side ^H4480 ^H5676 : and the name ^H8034 of the one ^H259 was Bozez, ^H949 and the name ^H8034 of the other ^H259 Seneh. ^H5573

5 The forefront ^H8127 of the one ^H259 was situated ^H4690 northward ^H4480 ^H6828 over against ^H4136 Michmash, ^H4363 and the other ^H259 southward ^H4480 ^H5045 over against ^H4136 Gibeah. ^H1387

6 And Jonathan ^H3083 said ^H559 to ^H413 the young man ^H5288 that bore ^H5375 his armor, ^H3627 Come, ^H1980 and let us go over ^H5674 unto ^H413 the garrison ^H4673 of these ^H428 uncircumcised: ^H6189 it may be that ^H194 the LORD ^H3068 will work ^H6213 for us: for ^H3588 there is no ^H369 restraint ^H4622 to the LORD ^H3068 to save ^H3467 by many ^H7227 or ^H176 by few. ^H4592

7 And his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 said ^H559 unto him, Do ^H6213 all ^H3605 that ^H834 is in thine heart: ^H3824 turn ^H5186 thee; behold, ^H2009 I am with ^H5973 thee according to thy heart. ^H3824

8 Then said ^H559 Jonathan, ^H3083 Behold, ^H2009 we ^H587 will pass over ^H5674 unto ^H413 these men, ^H376 and we will discover ourselves ^H1540 unto ^H413 them.

9 If ^H518 they say ^H559 thus ^H3541 unto ^H413 us, Tarry ^H1826 until ^H5704 we come ^H5060 to ^H413 you ; then we will stand still ^H5975 in our place, ^H8478 and will not ^H3808 go up ^H5927 unto ^H413 them.

10 But if ^H518 they say ^H559 thus, ^H3541 Come up ^H5927 unto ^H5921 us ; then we will go up: ^H5927 for ^H3588 the LORD ^H3068 hath delivered ^H5414 them into our hand: ^H3027 and this ^H2088 shall be a sign ^H226 unto us.

11 And both ^H8147 of them discovered themselves ^H1540 unto ^H413 the garrison ^H4673 of the Philistines: ^H6430 and the Philistines ^H6430 said, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 the Hebrews ^H5680 come forth ^H3318 out of ^H4480 the holes ^H2356 where ^H834 ^H8033 they had hid themselves. ^H2244

12 And the men ^H376 of the garrison ^H4675 answered ^H6030 ^H853 Jonathan ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 , and said, ^H559 Come up ^H5927 to ^H413 us , and we will show ^H3045 you a thing. ^H1697 And Jonathan ^H3083 said ^H559 unto ^H413 his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 , Come up ^H5927 after ^H310 me: for ^H3588 the LORD ^H3068 hath delivered ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 of Israel. ^H3478

13 And Jonathan ^H3083 climbed up ^H5927 upon ^H5921 his hands ^H3027 and upon ^H5921 his feet, ^H7272 and his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 after ^H310 him : and they fell ^H5307 before ^H6440 Jonathan; ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 slew ^H4191 after ^H310 him.

14 And that first ^H7223 slaughter, ^H4347 which ^H834 Jonathan ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 made, ^H5221 was ^H1961 about twenty ^H6242 men, ^H376 within as it were a half ^H2677 acre ^H4618 of land, ^H7704 which a yoke ^H6776 of oxen might plow .

15 And there was ^H1961 trembling ^H2731 in the host, ^H4264 in the field, ^H7704 and among all ^H3605 the people: ^H5971 the garrison, ^H4673 and the spoilers, ^H7843 they ^H1992 also ^H1571 trembled, ^H2729 and the earth ^H776 quaked: ^H7264 so it was ^H1961 a very great ^H430 trembling. ^H2731

16 And the watchmen ^H6822 of Saul ^H7586 in Gibeah ^H1390 of Benjamin ^H1144 looked; ^H7200 and, behold, ^H2009 the multitude ^H1995 melted away, ^H4127 and they went ^H1980 on beating down ^H1986 one another .

17 Then said ^H559 Saul ^H7586 unto the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H854 him, Number ^H6485 now, ^H4994 and see ^H7200 who ^H4310 is gone ^H1980 from ^H4480 ^H5973 us . And when they had numbered, ^H6485 behold, ^H2009 Jonathan ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H3627 ^H5375 were not ^H369 there .

18 And Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 unto Ahiah, ^H281 Bring hither ^H5066 the ark ^H727 of God. ^H430 For ^H3588 the ark ^H727 of God ^H430 was ^H1961 at that ^H1931 time ^H3117 with the children ^H1121 of Israel. ^H3478

19 And it came to pass, ^H1961 while ^H5704 Saul ^H7586 talked ^H1696 unto ^H413 the priest, ^H3548 that the noise ^H1995 that ^H834 was in the host ^H4264 of the Philistines ^H6430 went on ^H1980 and increased ^H1980 ^H7227 : and Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 unto ^H413 the priest, ^H3548 Withdraw ^H622 thine hand. ^H3027

20 And Saul ^H7586 and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 that ^H834 were with ^H854 him assembled themselves, ^H2199 and they came ^H935 to ^H5704 the battle: ^H4421 and, behold, ^H2009 every man's ^H376 sword ^H2719 was ^H1961 against his fellow, ^H7453 and there was a very ^H3966 great ^H1419 discomfiture. ^H4103

21 Moreover the Hebrews ^H5680 that were ^H1961 with the Philistines ^H6430 before ^H865 that time, ^H8032 which ^H834 went up ^H5927 with ^H5973 them into the camp ^H4264 from the country round about, ^H5439 even they ^H1992 also ^H1571 turned to be ^H1961 with ^H5973 the Israelites ^H3478 that ^H834 were with ^H5973 Saul ^H7586 and Jonathan. ^H3083

22 Likewise all ^H3605 the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 which had hid themselves ^H2244 in mount ^H2022 Ephraim, ^H669 when they heard ^H8085 that ^H3588 the Philistines ^H6430 fled, ^H5127 even they ^H1992 also ^H1571 followed hard ^H1692 after ^H310 them in the battle. ^H4421

23 So the LORD ^H3068 saved ^H3467 ^H853 Israel ^H3478 that ^H1931 day: ^H3117 and the battle ^H4421 passed over ^H5674 unto ^H853 Beth- ^H1007 aven.

24 And the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 were distressed ^H5065 that ^H1931 day: ^H3117 for Saul ^H7586 had adjured ^H422 ^H853 the people, ^H5971 saying, ^H559 Cursed ^H779 be the man ^H376 that ^H834 eateth ^H398 any food ^H3899 until ^H5704 evening, ^H6153 that I may be avenged ^H5358 on mine enemies ^H4480 ^H341 . So none ^H3808 ^H3605 of the people ^H5971 tasted ^H2938 any food. ^H3899

25 And all ^H3605 they of the land ^H776 came ^H935 to a wood; ^H3293 and there was ^H1961 honey ^H1706 upon ^H5921 ^H6440 the ground. ^H7704

26 And when the people ^H5971 were come ^H935 into ^H413 the wood, ^H3293 behold, ^H2009 the honey ^H1706 dropped; ^H1982 but no ^H369 man put ^H5381 his hand ^H3027 to ^H413 his mouth: ^H6310 for ^H3588 the people ^H5971 feared ^H3372 ^H853 the oath. ^H7621

27 But Jonathan ^H3083 heard ^H8085 not ^H3808 when his father ^H1 charged the people with the oath ^H7650 ^H853 ^H5971 : wherefore he put forth ^H7971 ^H853 the end ^H7097 of the rod ^H4294 that ^H834 was in his hand, ^H3027 and dipped ^H2881 it ^H853 in a honeycomb ^H3295 ^H1706 , and put ^H7725 his hand ^H3027 to ^H413 his mouth; ^H6310 and his eyes ^H5869 were enlightened. ^H215

28 Then answered ^H6030 one ^H376 of the people ^H4480 ^H5971 , and said, ^H559 Thy father ^H1 straitly charged the people with an oath ^H7650 ^H7650 ^H853 ^H5971 , saying, ^H559 Cursed ^H779 be the man ^H376 that ^H834 eateth ^H398 any food ^H3899 this day. ^H3117 And the people ^H5971 were faint. ^H5888

29 Then said ^H559 Jonathan, ^H3083 My father ^H1 hath troubled ^H5916 ^H853 the land: ^H776 see, ^H7200 I pray you, ^H4994 how ^H3588 mine eyes ^H5869 have been enlightened, ^H215 because ^H3588 I tasted ^H2938 a little ^H4592 of this ^H2088 honey. ^H1706

30 How much more ^H637 ^H3588 , if haply ^H3588 ^H3863 the people ^H5971 had eaten freely ^H398 ^H398 today ^H3117 of the spoil ^H4480 ^H7998 of their enemies ^H341 which ^H834 they found ^H4672 ? for ^H3588 had there not ^H3808 been now ^H6258 a much greater ^H7235 slaughter ^H4347 among the Philistines ^H6430 ?

31 And they smote ^H5221 the Philistines ^H6430 that ^H1931 day ^H3117 from Michmash ^H4480 ^H4363 to Aijalon: ^H357 and the people ^H5971 were very ^H3966 faint. ^H5888

32 And the people ^H5971 flew ^H6213 upon ^H413 the spoil, ^H7998 and took ^H3947 sheep, ^H6629 and oxen, ^H1241 and calves ^H1121 ^H1241 , and slew ^H7819 them on the ground: ^H776 and the people ^H5971 did eat ^H398 them with ^H5921 the blood. ^H1818

33 Then they told ^H5046 Saul, ^H7586 saying, ^H559 Behold, ^H2009 the people ^H5971 sin ^H2398 against the LORD, ^H3068 in that they eat ^H398 with ^H5921 the blood. ^H1818 And he said, ^H559 Ye have transgressed: ^H898 roll ^H1556 a great ^H1419 stone ^H68 unto ^H413 me this day. ^H3117

34 And Saul ^H7586 said, ^H559 Disperse yourselves ^H6327 among the people, ^H5971 and say ^H559 unto them , Bring me hither ^H5066 ^H413 every man ^H376 his ox, ^H7794 and every man ^H376 his sheep, ^H7716 and slay ^H7819 them here, ^H2088 and eat; ^H398 and sin ^H2398 not ^H3808 against the LORD ^H3068 in eating ^H398 with ^H413 the blood. ^H1818 And all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 brought ^H5066 every man ^H376 his ox ^H7794 with ^H3027 him that night, ^H3915 and slew ^H7819 them there. ^H8033

35 And Saul ^H7586 built ^H1129 an altar ^H4196 unto the LORD: ^H3068 the same was the first ^H2490 altar ^H4196 that he built ^H1129 unto the LORD. ^H3068

36 And Saul ^H7586 said, ^H559 Let us go down ^H3381 after ^H310 the Philistines ^H6430 by night, ^H3915 and spoil ^H962 them until ^H5704 the morning ^H1242 light, ^H216 and let us not ^H3808 leave ^H7604 a man ^H376 of them . And they said, ^H559 Do ^H6213 whatsoever ^H3605 seemeth ^H5869 good ^H2896 unto thee . Then said ^H559 the priest, ^H3548 Let us draw near ^H7126 hither ^H1988 unto ^H413 God. ^H430

37 And Saul ^H7586 asked counsel ^H7592 of God, ^H430 Shall I go down ^H3381 after ^H310 the Philistines ^H6430 ? wilt thou deliver ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 of Israel ^H3478 ? But he answered ^H6030 him not ^H3808 that ^H1931 day. ^H3117

38 And Saul ^H7586 said, ^H559 Draw ye near ^H5066 hither, ^H1988 all ^H3605 the chief ^H6438 of the people: ^H5971 and know ^H3045 and see ^H7200 wherein ^H4100 this sin ^H2403 hath been ^H1961 this ^H2063 day. ^H3117

39 For ^H3588 , as the LORD ^H3068 liveth, ^H2416 which saveth ^H3467 ^H853 Israel, ^H3478 though ^H3588 ^H518 it be ^H3426 in Jonathan ^H3083 my son, ^H1121 he shall surely die ^H4191 ^H4191 . But there was not a man ^H369 among all ^H4480 ^H3605 the people ^H5971 that answered ^H6030 him.

40 Then said ^H559 he unto ^H413 all ^H3605 Israel, ^H3478 Be ^H1961 ye ^H859 on one ^H259 side, ^H5676 and I ^H589 and Jonathan ^H3083 my son ^H1121 will be ^H1961 on the other ^H259 side. ^H5676 And the people ^H5971 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Saul, ^H7586 Do ^H6213 what seemeth ^H5869 good ^H2896 unto thee.

41 Therefore Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 unto ^H413 the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of Israel, ^H3478 Give ^H3051 a perfect ^H8549 lot . And Saul ^H7586 and Jonathan ^H3083 were taken: ^H3920 but the people ^H5971 escaped. ^H3318

42 And Saul ^H7586 said, ^H559 Cast ^H5307 lots between ^H996 me and Jonathan ^H3083 my son. ^H1121 And Jonathan ^H3083 was taken. ^H3920

43 Then Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 to ^H413 Jonathan, ^H3083 Tell ^H5046 me what ^H4100 thou hast done. ^H6213 And Jonathan ^H3083 told ^H5046 him , and said, ^H559 I did but taste ^H2938 ^H2938 a little ^H4592 honey ^H1706 with the end ^H7097 of the rod ^H4294 that ^H834 was in mine hand, ^H3027 and , lo, ^H2009 I must die. ^H4191

44 And Saul ^H7586 answered, ^H559 God ^H430 do ^H6213 so ^H3541 and more ^H3254 also: ^H3541 for ^H3588 thou shalt surely die ^H4191 ^H4191 , Jonathan. ^H3083

45 And the people ^H5971 said ^H559 unto ^H413 Saul, ^H7586 Shall Jonathan ^H3083 die, ^H4191 who ^H834 hath wrought ^H6213 this ^H2063 great ^H1419 salvation ^H3444 in Israel ^H3478 ? God forbid: ^H2486 as the LORD ^H3068 liveth, ^H2416 there shall not ^H518 one hair ^H4480 ^H8185 of his head ^H7218 fall ^H5307 to the ground; ^H776 for ^H3588 he hath wrought ^H6213 with ^H5973 God ^H430 this ^H2088 day. ^H3117 So the people ^H5971 rescued ^H6299 ^H853 Jonathan, ^H3083 that he died ^H4191 not. ^H3808

46 Then Saul ^H7586 went up ^H5927 from following ^H4480 ^H310 the Philistines: ^H6430 and the Philistines ^H6430 went ^H1980 to their own place. ^H4725

47 So Saul ^H7586 took ^H3920 the kingdom ^H4410 over ^H5921 Israel, ^H3478 and fought ^H3898 against all ^H3605 his enemies ^H341 on every side, ^H5439 against Moab, ^H4124 and against the children ^H1121 of Ammon, ^H5983 and against Edom, ^H123 and against the kings ^H4428 of Zobah, ^H6678 and against the Philistines: ^H6430 and whithersoever ^H3605 ^H834 he turned ^H6437 himself , he vexed ^H7561 them .

48 And he gathered ^H6213 a host, ^H2428 and smote ^H5221 ^H853 the Amalekites, ^H6002 and delivered ^H5337 ^H853 Israel ^H3478 out of the hands ^H4480 ^H3027 of them that spoiled ^H8154 them.

49 Now the sons ^H1121 of Saul ^H7586 were ^H1961 Jonathan, ^H3083 and Ishui, ^H3440 and Melchi- ^H4444 shua : and the names ^H8034 of his two ^H8147 daughters ^H1323 were these ; the name ^H8034 of the firstborn ^H1067 Merab, ^H4764 and the name ^H8034 of the younger ^H6996 Michal: ^H4324

50 And the name ^H8034 of Saul's ^H7586 wife ^H802 was Ahinoam, ^H293 the daughter ^H1323 of Ahimaaz: ^H290 and the name ^H8034 of the captain ^H8269 of his host ^H6635 was Abner, ^H74 the son ^H1121 of Ner, ^H5369 Saul's ^H7586 uncle. ^H1730

51 And Kish ^H7027 was the father ^H1 of Saul; ^H7586 and Ner ^H5369 the father ^H1 of Abner ^H74 was the son ^H1121 of Abiel. ^H22

52 And there was ^H1961 sore ^H2389 war ^H4421 against ^H5921 the Philistines ^H6430 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of Saul: ^H7586 and when Saul ^H7586 saw ^H7200 any ^H3605 strong ^H1368 man, ^H376 or any ^H3605 valiant ^H2428 man, ^H1121 he took ^H622 him unto ^H413 him.
