Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 14:16-23
16And the watchmenH6822 of SaulH7586 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200; and, beholdH2009, the multitudeH1995 meltedH4127 awayH4127, and they went hither and thither.
17Then saidH559 SaulH7586 unto the peopleH5971 that were with him, NumberH6485 nowH4994, and seeH7200 who is goneH1980 from usH4994. And when they had numberedH6485, beholdH2009, JonathanH3129 and his armourbearer were notH369 there.
18And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto AhijahH281, BringH5066 hither the arkH727 of GodH430. For the arkH727 of GodH430 was there at that time with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
19And it cameH1961 to passH1961, whileH5704 SaulH7586 talkedH1696 unto the priestH3548, that the tumultH1995 that was in the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 on and increased: and SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the priestH3548, WithdrawH622 thine handH3027.
20And SaulH7586 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with him were gathered togetherH2199, and cameH935 to the battleH4421: and, beholdH2009, everyH3605 man’sH376 swordH2719 was againstH854 his fellowH376, and there was a veryH3966 greatH1419 discomfiture.
21NowH1961 the HebrewsH5680 that were with the PhilistinesH6430 as beforetime, whichH834 wentH5927 upH5927 with them intoH1961 the campH4264 from the country roundH5439 aboutH1961; evenH1571 they also turnedH1961 to be with the IsraelitesH3478 that were with SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129.
22Likewise allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 whichH2022 had hidH2244 themselvesH310 in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, when they heardH8085 that the PhilistinesH6430 fledH5127, evenH1571 they also followedH310 hardH2244 afterH310 them in the battleH4421.
23SoH5674 the LORDH3068 savedH3467 IsraelH3478 that dayH3117: and the battleH4421 passedH5674 over by Beth-aven.
