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 .
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 ;
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ] .
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 .
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 ] .
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 ] .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ?
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 .
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 ] .
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 .
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 :
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 .
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 .
