Erven Parallel Bible with Kjvp for 1samuel 14 37

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 ^W-VQY3MS upon a day ^H3117 ^D-AMS , that Jonathan ^H3083 the son ^H1121 of Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP the young man ^H5288 that bore ^H5375 his armor ^H3627 , Come ^H1980 ^VQI2MS-3FS , and let us go over ^H5674 to ^H413 ^PREP the Philistines ^H6430 ^TMS \' garrison ^H4673 , that ^H834 ^RPRO is on the other side ^H5676 ^M-CMS . But he told ^H5046 not ^H3808 ^NADV his father ^H1 .

2 And Saul ^H7586 tarried ^H3427 ^VQPMS in the uttermost part ^H7097 of Gibeah ^H1390 under ^H8478 ^NMS a pomegranate tree ^H7416 which ^H834 ^RPRO is in Migron ^H4051 : and the people ^H5971 that ^H834 ^RPRO were with ^H5973 ^PREP-3MS him were about six ^H8337 hundred ^H3967 ^BFP men ^H376 ^NMS ;

3 And Ahiah ^H281 , the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Ahitub ^H285 , Ichabod ^H350 \'s brother ^H251 ^CMS , the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Phinehas ^H6372 , the son ^H1121 ^CMS of Eli ^H5941 , the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS \'s priest ^H3548 in Shiloh ^H7887 , wearing ^H5375 an ephod ^H646 . And the people ^H5971 knew ^H3045 ^VQQ3MS not ^H3808 ^NADV that ^H3588 ^CONJ Jonathan ^H3083 was gone ^H1980 ^VQQ3MS .

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

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

6 And Jonathan ^H3083 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS to ^H413 ^PREP the young man ^H5288 that bore ^H5375 his armor ^H3627 , Come ^H1980 ^VQI2MS-3FS , and let us go over ^H5674 unto ^H413 ^PREP the garrison ^H4673 of these ^H428 ^D-DPRO-3MP uncircumcised ^H6189 : it may be that ^H194 ^ADV the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS will work ^H6213 ^VQY3MS for us : for ^H3588 ^CONJ there is no ^H369 ^NPAR restraint ^H4622 to the LORD ^H3068 ^L-EDS to save ^H3467 by many ^H7227 or ^H176 ^CONJ by few ^H4592 .

7 And his armorbearer ^H5375 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto him , Do ^H6213 ^VQI2MS all ^H3605 ^NMS that ^H834 ^RPRO is in thine heart ^H3824 : turn ^H5186 thee ; behold ^H2009 , I am with ^H5973 ^PREP-2MS thee according to thy heart ^H3824 .

8 Then said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS Jonathan ^H3083 , Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , we ^H587 ^PPRO-1MP will pass over ^H5674 unto ^H413 ^PREP these men ^H376 , and we will discover ourselves ^H1540 unto ^H413 ^PREP them .

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

10 But if ^H518 ^W-PART they say ^H559 ^VQY3MP thus ^H3541 , Come up ^H5927 unto ^H5921 ^PREP-1MP us ; then we will go up ^H5927 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS hath delivered ^H5414 them into our hand ^H3027 : and this ^H2088 ^W-PMS shall be a sign ^H226 unto us .

11 And both ^H8147 ^ONUM-3MP of them discovered themselves ^H1540 unto ^H413 ^PREP the garrison ^H4673 of the Philistines ^H6430 ^TMS : and the Philistines ^H6430 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MP , Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the Hebrews ^H5680 come forth ^H3318 out of ^H4480 ^PREP the holes ^H2356 where ^H834 ^RPRO they had hid themselves ^H2244 .

12 And the men ^H376 ^CMP of the garrison ^H4675 answered ^H6030 Jonathan ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H5375 , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Come up ^H5927 to ^H413 ^PREP us , and we will show ^H3045 you a thing ^H1697 ^VQPMS . And Jonathan ^H3083 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP his armorbearer ^H5375 , Come up ^H5927 after ^H310 me : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS hath delivered ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 ^B-CFS of Israel ^H3478 ^LMS .

13 And Jonathan ^H3083 climbed up ^H5927 ^W-VHY3MS upon ^H5921 ^PREP his hands ^H3027 ^CFD-3MS and upon ^H5921 ^PREP his feet ^H7272 , and his armorbearer ^H5375 after ^H310 ^PREP-3MS him : and they fell ^H5307 ^W-VQY3MP before ^H6440 ^L-CMP Jonathan ^H3083 ; and his armorbearer ^H5375 slew ^H4191 after ^H310 him .

14 And that first ^H7223 slaughter ^H4347 , which ^H834 ^RPRO Jonathan ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H5375 made ^H5221 , was ^H1961 ^W-VQY3FS about twenty ^H6242 men ^H376 ^NMS , within as it were a half ^H2677 acre ^H4618 of land ^H7704 , which a yoke ^H6776 ^NMS of oxen might plow .

15 And there was ^H1961 ^W-VQY3FS trembling ^H2731 in the host ^H4264 , in the field ^H7704 , and among all ^H3605 ^WB-CMS the people ^H5971 : the garrison ^H4673 , and the spoilers ^H7843 , they ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP also ^H1571 ^CONJ trembled ^H2729 , and the earth ^H776 ^D-GFS quaked ^H7264 : so it was ^H1961 ^W-VQY3FS a very great ^H430 ^NAME-4MP trembling ^H2731 .

16 And the watchmen ^H6822 of Saul ^H7586 in Gibeah ^H1390 of Benjamin ^H1144 looked ^H7200 ^W-VQY3MP ; and , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the multitude ^H1995 melted away ^H4127 , and they went ^H1980 ^W-VQY3MS on beating down ^H1986 one another .

17 Then said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS Saul ^H7586 unto the people ^H5971 that ^H834 ^RPRO were with ^H854 ^PREP-3MS him , Number ^H6485 now ^H4994 ^IJEC , and see ^H7200 who ^H4310 ^IPRO is gone ^H1980 ^VQQ3MS from us . And when they had numbered ^H6485 , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , Jonathan ^H3083 and his armorbearer ^H5375 were not ^H369 ^NPAR there .

18 And Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto Ahiah ^H281 , Bring hither ^H5066 the ark ^H727 of God ^H430 ^D-EDP . For ^H3588 ^CONJ the ark ^H727 of God ^H430 ^D-EDP was ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS at that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS time ^H3117 ^B-AMS with the children ^H1121 ^W-CMP of Israel ^H3478 ^LMS .

19 And it came to pass ^H1961 ^W-VQY3MS , while ^H5704 ^PREP Saul ^H7586 talked ^H1696 ^VPQ3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP the priest ^H3548 , that the noise ^H1995 that ^H834 ^RPRO was in the host ^H4264 of the Philistines ^H6430 went on ^H1980 ^W-VQY3MS and increased ^H7227 : and Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP the priest ^H3548 , Withdraw ^H622 thine hand ^H3027 .

20 And Saul ^H7586 and all ^H3605 ^W-CMS the people ^H5971 that ^H834 ^RPRO were with ^H854 ^PREP-3MS him assembled themselves ^H2199 , and they came ^H935 ^W-VQY3MP to ^H5704 ^PREP the battle ^H4421 : and , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , every man ^H376 ^NMS \'s sword ^H2719 ^GFS was ^H1961 ^VQQ3FS against his fellow ^H7453 , and there was a very ^H3966 ^ADV great ^H1419 ^AMS-3FS discomfiture ^H4103 .

21 Moreover the Hebrews ^H5680 that were ^H1961 ^VQQ3MP with the Philistines ^H6430 before ^H865 that time ^H8032 , which ^H834 ^RPRO went up ^H5927 with ^H5973 ^PREP-3MP them into the camp ^H4264 from the country round about ^H5439 ^ADV , even they ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP also ^H1571 ^W-CONJ turned to be ^H1961 ^L-VQFC with ^H5973 ^PREP the Israelites ^H3478 that ^H834 ^RPRO were with ^H5973 ^PREP Saul ^H7586 and Jonathan ^H3083 .

22 Likewise all ^H3605 ^W-CMS the men ^H376 ^NMS of Israel ^H3478 which had hid themselves ^H2244 in mount ^H2022 Ephraim ^H669 , when they heard ^H8085 ^VQQ3MP that ^H3588 ^CONJ the Philistines ^H6430 ^TMS fled ^H5127 , even they ^H1992 ^PPRO-3MP also ^H1571 ^CONJ followed hard ^H1692 after ^H310 them in the battle ^H4421 .

23 So the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS saved ^H3467 Israel ^H3478 that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS day ^H3117 ^B-AMS : and the battle ^H4421 passed over ^H5674 ^VQQ3FS unto Beth ^H1007 - aven .

24 And the men ^H376 ^D-NMS of Israel ^H3478 were distressed ^H5065 that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS day ^H3117 ^B-AMS : for Saul ^H7586 had adjured ^H422 the people ^H5971 , saying ^H559 ^L-VQFC , Cursed ^H779 ^VWQ3MS be the man ^H376 ^D-NMS that ^H834 ^RPRO eateth ^H398 ^VQY3MS any food ^H3899 ^NMS until ^H5704 ^PREP evening ^H6153 , that I may be avenged ^H5358 on mine enemies ^H341 . So none ^H3808 ^W-NPAR of the people ^H5971 tasted ^H2938 any food ^H3899 ^NMS .

25 And all ^H3605 ^W-CMS they of the land ^H776 ^D-GFS came ^H935 ^VQQ3MP to a wood ^H3293 ; and there was ^H1961 ^W-VQY3MS honey ^H1706 upon ^H5921 ^PREP the ground ^H7704 ^D-NMS .

26 And when the people ^H5971 were come ^H935 ^W-VQY3MS into ^H413 ^PREP the wood ^H3293 , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the honey ^H1706 dropped ^H1982 ; but no ^H369 ^W-NPAR man put ^H5381 his hand ^H3027 ^CFS-3MS to ^H413 ^PREP his mouth ^H6310 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the people ^H5971 feared ^H3372 ^VQQ3MS the oath ^H7621 .

27 But Jonathan ^H3083 heard ^H8085 not ^H3808 ^ADV when his father ^H1 ^CMS-3MS charged the people with the oath ^H7650 : wherefore he put forth ^W-VQY3MS the end ^H7097 of the rod ^H4294 that ^H834 ^RPRO was in his hand ^H3027 ^B-CFS-3MS , and dipped ^H2881 it ^H853 ^PART in a honeycomb ^H3295 , and put ^H7725 ^W-VHY3MS his hand ^H3027 ^CFS-3MS to ^H413 ^PREP his mouth ^H6310 ; and his eyes ^H5869 were enlightened ^H215 .

28 Then answered ^H6030 ^W-VQY3MS one ^H376 ^NMS of the people ^H5971 , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Thy father ^H1 ^NMS straitly charged the people with an oath ^H7650 , saying ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Cursed ^H779 ^VWQ3MS be the man ^H376 ^D-NMS that ^H834 ^RPRO eateth ^H398 ^VQY3MS any food ^H3899 ^NMS this day ^H3117 ^D-AMS . And the people ^H5971 were faint ^H5888 .

29 Then said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS Jonathan ^H3083 , My father ^H1 ^CMS-1MS hath troubled ^H5916 the land ^H776 ^D-GFS : see ^H7200 , I pray you ^H4994 ^IJEC , how ^H3588 ^CONJ mine eyes ^H5869 ^CMD-1MS have been enlightened ^H215 , because ^H3588 ^CONJ I tasted ^H2938 a little ^H4592 ^AMS of this ^H2088 ^D-PMS honey ^H1706 ^NMS .

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

31 And they smote ^H5221 ^W-VHY3MP the Philistines ^H6430 that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS day ^H3117 ^B-AMS from Michmash ^H4363 to Aijalon ^H357 : and the people ^H5971 were very ^H3966 ^ADV faint ^H5888 .

32 And the people ^H5971 flew ^H6213 upon ^H413 ^PREP the spoil ^H7998 , and took ^H3947 ^W-VQY3MP sheep ^H6629 ^NMS , and oxen ^H1241 ^W-NMS , and calves ^H1121 ^W-CMP , and slew ^H7819 them on the ground ^H776 ^NFS-3FS : and the people ^H5971 did eat ^H398 them with ^H5921 ^PREP the blood ^H1818 .

33 Then they told ^H5046 Saul ^H7586 , saying ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the people ^H5971 sin ^H2398 against the LORD ^H3068 ^L-EDS , in that they eat ^H398 ^L-VQFC with ^H5921 ^PREP the blood ^H1818 . And he said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Ye have transgressed ^H898 : roll ^H1556 a great ^H1419 stone ^H68 ^GFS unto ^H413 ^PREP-1MS me this day ^H3117 ^D-AMS .

34 And Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Disperse yourselves ^H6327 among the people ^H5971 , and say ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto them , Bring me hither ^H5066 every man ^H376 ^NMS his ox ^H7794 ^CMS-3MS , and every man ^H376 ^NMS his sheep ^H7716 , and slay ^H7819 them here ^H2088 , and eat ^H398 ; and sin ^H2398 not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR against the LORD ^H3068 ^L-EDS in eating ^H398 ^L-VQFC with ^H413 ^PREP the blood ^H1818 . And all ^H3605 ^CMS the people ^H5971 brought ^H5066 every man ^H376 ^NMS his ox ^H7794 ^CMS-3MS with ^H3027 him that night ^H3915 ^D-AMS , and slew ^H7819 them there ^H8033 ^ADV .

35 And Saul ^H7586 built ^H1129 ^W-VQY3MS an altar ^H4196 ^NMS unto the LORD ^H3068 ^L-EDS : the same was the first ^H2490 ^VHQ3MS altar ^H4196 ^NMS that he built ^H1129 unto the LORD ^H3068 ^L-NAME-4MS .

36 And Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Let us go down ^H3381 after ^H310 ^PREP the Philistines ^H6430 by night ^H3915 ^GMS , and spoil ^H962 them until ^H5704 ^PREP the morning ^H1242 light ^H216 ^NMS , and let us not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR leave ^H7604 a man ^H376 ^NMS of them . And they said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Do ^H6213 ^VQI2MS whatsoever ^H3605 ^NMS seemeth ^H5869 good ^H2896 ^D-NMS unto thee . Then said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS the priest ^H3548 , Let us draw near ^H7126 hither ^H1988 unto ^H413 ^PREP God ^H430 .

37 And Saul ^H7586 asked counsel ^H7592 ^W-VQY3MS of God ^H430 ^B-NMP , Shall I go down ^H3381 after ^H310 ^PREP the Philistines ^H6430 ? wilt thou deliver ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 ^B-CFS of Israel ^H3478 ? But he answered ^H6030 him not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR that ^H1931 day ^H3117 ^B-AMS .

38 And Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , Draw ye near ^H5066 hither ^H1988 , all ^H3605 ^NMS the chief ^H6438 ^CFP of the people ^H5971 : and know ^H3045 and see ^H7200 wherein ^H4100 this sin ^H2403 hath been ^H1961 ^VQP3FS this ^H2063 ^D-DFS day ^H3117 ^D-NMS .

39 For ^H3588 ^CONJ , as the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS liveth ^H2416 ^AMS , which saveth ^H3467 Israel ^H3478 , though ^H518 ^PART it be ^H3426 in Jonathan ^H3083 my son ^H1121 ^NMS-1MS , he shall surely die ^H4191 ^VQFA . But there was not a man ^H369 ^W-NPAR among all ^H3605 ^M-CMS the people ^H5971 ^D-NMS that answered ^H6030 him .

40 Then said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS he unto ^H413 ^PREP all ^H3605 ^NMS Israel ^H3478 , Be ^H1961 ye ^H859 ^PPRO-2MS on one ^H259 ^MMS side ^H5676 , and I ^H589 ^W-PPRO-1MS and Jonathan ^H3083 my son ^H1121 ^NMS-1MS will be ^H1961 on the other ^H259 ^MMS side ^H5676 . And the people ^H5971 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP Saul ^H7586 , Do ^H6213 what seemeth ^H5869 good ^H2896 ^D-NMS unto thee .

41 Therefore Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS God ^H430 ^CDP of Israel ^H3478 , Give ^H3051 ^VQI2MS-3FS 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 ^W-VQY3MS , Cast ^H5307 lots between ^H996 ^W-PREP-1MS me and Jonathan ^H3083 my son ^H1121 ^NMS-1MS . And Jonathan ^H3083 was taken ^H3920 .

43 Then Saul ^H7586 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS to ^H413 ^PREP Jonathan ^H3083 , Tell ^H5046 D-VHI2MS-3FS me what ^H4100 ^IPRO thou hast done ^H6213 . And Jonathan ^H3083 told ^H5046 him , and said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , I did but taste ^H2938 a little ^H4592 ^AMS honey ^H1706 ^NMS with the end ^H7097 of the rod ^H4294 that ^H834 ^RPRO was in mine hand ^H3027 ^B-CFS-1MS , and , lo ^H2009 , I must die ^H4191 .

44 And Saul ^H7586 answered ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS , God ^H430 ^EDP do ^H6213 ^VQY3MS so ^H3541 and more ^H3254 also ^H3541 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ thou shalt surely die ^H4191 ^VQFA , Jonathan ^H3083 .

45 And the people ^H5971 said ^H559 ^W-VQY3MS unto ^H413 ^PREP Saul ^H7586 , Shall Jonathan ^H3083 die ^H4191 ^VQY3MS , who ^H834 ^RPRO hath wrought ^H6213 ^VQQ3MS this ^H2063 ^D-DFS great ^H1419 ^D-AFS salvation ^H3444 in Israel ^H3478 ? God forbid ^H2486 ^IJEC-3FS : as the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS liveth ^H2416 ^AMS , there shall not ^H518 ^PART one hair ^H8185 of his head ^H7218 ^CMS-3MS fall ^H5307 ^VQY3MS to the ground ^H776 ^NFS-3FS ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ he hath wrought ^H6213 ^VQQ3MS with ^H5973 ^PREP God ^H430 ^EDP this ^H2088 ^D-PMS day ^H3117 ^D-AMS . So the people ^H5971 rescued ^H6299 Jonathan ^H3083 , that he died ^H4191 not ^H3808 ^W-NPAR .

46 Then Saul ^H7586 went up ^H5927 ^W-VHY3MS from following ^H310 the Philistines ^H6430 ^TMS : and the Philistines ^H6430 went ^H1980 ^VQQ3MP to their own place ^H4725 .

47 So Saul ^H7586 took ^H3920 the kingdom ^H4410 over ^H5921 ^PREP Israel ^H3478 , and fought ^H3898 against all ^H3605 his enemies ^H341 on every side ^H5439 ^ADV , 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 he turned ^H6437 ^VQY3MS himself , he vexed ^H7561 them .

48 And he gathered ^H6213 ^W-VQY3MS a host ^H2428 ^NMS , and smote ^H5221 ^W-VHY3MS the Amalekites ^H6002 , and delivered ^H5337 Israel ^H3478 out of the hands ^H3027 ^M-GFS of them that spoiled ^H8154 them .

49 Now the sons ^H1121 of Saul ^H7586 were ^H1961 ^W-VQY3MP Jonathan ^H3083 , and Ishui ^H3440 , and Melchi ^H4444 - shua : and the names ^H8034 ^W-CMS of his two ^H8147 ^ONUM daughters ^H1323 were these ; the name ^H8034 ^CMS of the firstborn ^H1067 Merab ^H4764 , and the name ^H8034 ^W-CMS of the younger ^H6996 Michal ^H4324 :

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

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

52 And there was ^H1961 ^W-VQY3FS sore ^H2389 war ^H4421 against ^H5921 ^PREP the Philistines ^H6430 ^TMS all ^H3605 ^NMS the days ^H3117 ^CMP of Saul ^H7586 : and when Saul ^H7586 saw ^H7200 any ^H3605 ^NMS strong ^H1368 ^AMS man ^H376 ^NMS , or any ^H3605 ^NMS valiant ^H2428 ^NMS man ^H1121 , he took ^H622 him unto ^H413 him .
