1 Samuel 13:4-15
4And all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, SaulH7586 has smitten the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430, and IsraelH3478 alsoH1571 has becomeH887 odiousH887 to the PhilistinesH6430. And the peopleH5971 were called together after SaulH7586 to GilgalH1537.
5And the PhilistinesH6430 were assembled together to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478, thirtyH7970 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and sixH8337 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and peopleH5971 as the sandH2344 which is on the sea-shore in multitudeH7230; and they cameH5927 up, and encampedH2583 in Michmash, eastward from Beth-Aven.
6And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that they were in a strait (for the peopleH5971 were distressed); and the peopleH5971 hidH2244 themselves in cavesH4631, and in thickets, and in cliffsH5553, and in strongholds, and in pitsH953.
7And the HebrewsH5680 went over the JordanH3383 into the landH776 of GadH1410 and GileadH1568. And SaulH7586 was yetH5750 in GilgalH1537, and all the peopleH5971 followed him tremblingH2729.
8And he waitedH3176 sevenH7651 daysH3117, according to the set time that SamuelH8050 [had appointedH4150]; but SamuelH8050 did not comeH935 to GilgalH1537; and the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 from him.
9And SaulH7586 saidH559, BringH5927 hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offeredH5927 up the burnt-offering.
10And it cameH935 to pass, as soon as he had endedH3615 offeringH5927 up 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 didst not comeH935 within the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 were assembled at Michmash,
12I saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 will comeH5927 down nowH6258 upon me to GilgalH1537, and I have not made supplication to Jehovah; and I forced myself, and offeredH5927 up the burnt-offering.
13And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thou hast done foolishlyH5528: thou hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 of Jehovah thy 1GodH430 which he commandedH6680 thee; for nowH6258 would Jehovah have establishedH3559 thy kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769.
14But nowH6258 thy kingdomH4467 shall not continue: Jehovah has soughtH1245 him a manH376 after his own heartH3824, and Jehovah has appointedH6680 him rulerH5057 over his peopleH5971; for thou hast not keptH8104 what Jehovah commandedH6680 thee.
15And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965 and wentH5927 up from GilgalH1537 to GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144. And SaulH7586 numbered the peopleH5971 that were foundH4672 with him, about sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376.
