1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years. 1 Samuel 13:1WEB
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents. 1 Samuel 13:2WEB
3 Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!” 1 Samuel 13:3WEB
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal. 1 Samuel 13:4WEB
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven. 1 Samuel 13:5WEB
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits. 1 Samuel 13:6WEB
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 1 Samuel 13:7WEB
8 He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him. 1 Samuel 13:8WEB
9 Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering. 1 Samuel 13:9WEB
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him. 1 Samuel 13:10WEB
11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash, 1 Samuel 13:11WEB
12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of YHWH.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.” 1 Samuel 13:12WEB
13 Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of YHWH your God, which he commanded you; for now YHWH would have established your kingdom on Israel forever. 1 Samuel 13:13WEB
14 But now your kingdom will not continue. YHWH has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and YHWH has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which YHWH commanded you.” 1 Samuel 13:14WEB
15 Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men. 1 Samuel 13:15WEB
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 1 Samuel 13:16WEB
17 The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual; 1 Samuel 13:17WEB
18 another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. 1 Samuel 13:18WEB
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”; 1 Samuel 13:19WEB
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle. 1 Samuel 13:20WEB
21 The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads. 1 Samuel 13:21WEB
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them. 1 Samuel 13:22WEB
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash. 1 Samuel 13:23WEB
