1 Samuel 13:9-16

9And SaulH7586 saidH559, BringH5927 hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offeredH5927 the burnt-offering. 10And it cameH935 to pass that, as soon as he had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927 the burnt-offering, behold, SamuelH8050 cameH935; and SaulH7586 wentH3318 out to meetH7122 him, that he might salute him. 11And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What hast thou done? And SaulH7586 saidH559, Because I sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were scatteredH5310 from me, and that thou camest not within the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 assembled themselves together at Michmash; 12thereforeH6258 saidH559 I, NowH6258 will the PhilistinesH6430 comeH5927 down upon me to GilgalH1537, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself thereforeH6258, and offeredH5927 the burnt-offering. 13And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thou hast done foolishlyH5528; thou hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 of Jehovah thy GodH430, which he commandedH6680 thee: for nowH6258 would Jehovah have establishedH3559 thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 for everH5769. 14But nowH6258 thy kingdomH4467 shall not continue: Jehovah hath soughtH1245 him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and Jehovah hath appointedH6680 him to be princeH5057 over his peopleH5971, because thou hast not keptH8104 that which Jehovah commandedH6680 thee. 15And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965, and gat him up from GilgalH1537 unto GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144.

And SaulH7586 numbered the peopleH5971 that were present with him, about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376. 16And SaulH7586, and JonathanH3129 his sonH1121, and the peopleH5971 that were present with them, abode in GebaH1387 of BenjaminH1144: but the PhilistinesH6430 encampedH2583 in Michmash.
