1 Samuel 13:4-15

4And allH3605 IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559 that SaulH7586 had smittenH5221 the garrisonH5333 of the PhilistinesH6430, and that IsraelH3478 also was had in abomination with the PhilistinesH6430. And the peopleH5971 were gathered togetherH1571 afterH310 SaulH7586 to GilgalH1537.

5And the PhilistinesH6430 assembledH622 themselvesH622 togetherH622 to fightH3898 with IsraelH3478, thirtyH7970 thousandH505 chariotsH7393, and sixH8337 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, and peopleH5971 as the sandH2344 whichH834 is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitudeH7230: and they cameH5927 upH5927, and pitchedH2583 in MichmashH4363, eastward of Beth-aven.

6When the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that they were in a strait, (for the peopleH5971 were distressed,) then the peopleH5971 didH376 hideH2244 themselvesH2244 in cavesH4631, and in thickets, and in rocksH5553, and in holds, and in pitsH953.

7NowH310 someH3605 of the HebrewsH5680 had gone over JordanH3383 to the landH776 of GadH1410 and GileadH1568; but as for SaulH7586, he was yet in GilgalH1537, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 followedH310 him tremblingH2729.

8And he tarried sevenH7651 daysH3117, accordingH5921 to the setH935 time that SamuelH8050 had appointedH4150: but SamuelH8050 cameH935 notH3808 to GilgalH1537; and the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 from him.

9And SaulH7586 saidH559, BringH5927 hither the burntH5930 offering to meH413, and the peaceH8002 offeringsH8002. And he offeredH5927 the burntH5930 offering.

10And it cameH935 to passH935 that, as soon as he had madeH1961 an endH3615 of offering the burntH5930 offering, beholdH2009, SamuelH8050 cameH935; and SaulH7586 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 him, that he might saluteH1288 him.

11And SamuelH8050 saidH559, WhatH4100 hast thou doneH6213? And SaulH7586 saidH559, BecauseH3588 I sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were scatteredH5310 from meH5921, and that thou camest notH3808 withinH5921 the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 assembledH622 themselvesH622 togetherH622 at MichmashH4363;

12therefore saidH559 I, NowH6258 will the PhilistinesH6430 comeH5927 downH3381 uponH413 meH413 to GilgalH1537, and I have notH3808 entreated the favour of the LORDH3068: I forcedH662 myself therefore, and offeredH5927 the burntH5930 offering.

13And SamuelH8050 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Thou hast doneH3559 foolishlyH5528: thou hast notH3808 keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, whichH834 he commandedH6680 thee: for nowH6258 would the LORDH3068 have establishedH3559 thy kingdomH4467 uponH413 IsraelH3478 for everH5769.

14But nowH6258 thy kingdomH4467 shall notH3808 continueH6965: the LORDH3068 hath soughtH1245 him a manH376 afterH5921 his ownH376 heartH3824, and the LORDH3068 hath appointedH6680 him to be princeH5057 over his peopleH5971, becauseH3588 thou hast notH3808 keptH8104 that whichH834 the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 thee.

15And SamuelH8050 aroseH6965, and gat him upH5927 from GilgalH1537 unto GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144. And SaulH7586 numberedH6485 the peopleH5971 that were presentH4672 with him, aboutH4480 sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376.
