1  Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ reigned⁴⁴²⁷ one¹¹²¹ year;⁸¹⁴¹ and when he had reigned⁴⁴²⁷ two⁸¹⁴⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸

2  Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ chose⁹⁷⁷ him three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men of Israel;^{4480 3478} whereof two thousand⁵⁰⁵ were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ in Michmash⁴³⁶³ and in mount²⁰²² Bethel,¹⁰⁰⁸ and a thousand⁵⁰⁵ were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ Jonathan³⁰⁸³ in Gibeah¹³⁹⁰ of Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ and the rest³⁴⁹⁹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ every man³⁷⁶ to his tent.¹⁶⁸

3  And Jonathan³⁰⁸³ smote^{5221 853} the garrison⁵³³³ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ that⁸³⁴ was in Geba,¹³⁸⁷ and the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ of it. And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ blew⁸⁶²⁸ the trumpet⁷⁷⁸² throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land,⁷⁷⁶ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Let the Hebrews⁵⁶⁸⁰ hear.⁸⁰⁸⁵

4  And all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ say⁵⁵⁹ that Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ had smitten^{5221 853} a garrison⁵³³³ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ and that Israel³⁴⁷⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ was had in abomination⁸⁸⁷ with the Philistines.⁶⁴³⁰ And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were called together⁶⁸¹⁷ after³¹⁰ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ to Gilgal.¹⁵³⁷

5  And the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ gathered themselves together⁶²² to fight³⁸⁹⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ thousand⁵⁰⁵ chariots,⁷³⁹³ and six⁸³³⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ horsemen,⁶⁵⁷¹ and people⁵⁹⁷¹ as the sand²³⁴⁴ which⁸³⁴ is on⁵⁹²¹ the sea³²²⁰ shore⁸¹⁹³ in multitude:⁷²³⁰ and they came up,⁵⁹²⁷ and pitched²⁵⁸³ in Michmash,⁴³⁶³ eastward⁶⁹²⁶ from Beth-aven.¹⁰⁰⁷

6  When the men³⁷⁶ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ they were in a strait,⁶⁸⁸⁷ (for³⁵⁸⁸ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were distressed,)⁵⁰⁶⁵ then the people⁵⁹⁷¹ did hide themselves²²⁴⁴ in caves,⁴⁶³¹ and in thickets,²³³⁷ and in rocks,⁵⁵⁵³ and in high places,⁶⁸⁷⁷ and in pits.⁹⁵³

7  And some of the Hebrews⁵⁶⁸⁰ went over^{5674 853} Jordan³³⁸³ to the land⁷⁷⁶ of Gad¹⁴¹⁰ and Gilead.¹⁵⁶⁸ As for Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ he was yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ in Gilgal,¹⁵³⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ followed³¹⁰ him trembling.²⁷²⁹

8  And he tarried³¹⁷⁶ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ according to the set time⁴¹⁵⁰ that⁸³⁴ Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ had appointed: but Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ came⁹³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ to Gilgal;¹⁵³⁷ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were scattered⁶³²⁷ from^{4480 5921} him.

9  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ Bring hither⁵⁰⁶⁶ a burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ to⁴¹³ me, and peace offerings.⁸⁰⁰² And he offered⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offering.⁵⁹³⁰

10  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ that as soon as he had made an end³⁶¹⁵ of offering⁵⁹²⁷ the burnt offering,⁵⁹³⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ came;⁹³⁵ and Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ went out³³¹⁸ to meet⁷¹²⁵ him, that he might salute¹²⁸⁸ him.

11  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou done?⁶²¹³ And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ Because³⁵⁸⁸ I saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ were scattered⁵³¹⁰ from^{4480 5921} me, and that thou⁸⁵⁹ camest⁹³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ within the days³¹¹⁷ appointed,⁴¹⁵⁰ and that the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ gathered themselves together⁶²² at Michmash;⁴³⁶³

12  Therefore said⁵⁵⁹ I, The Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ will come down³³⁸¹ now⁶²⁵⁸ upon⁴¹³ me to Gilgal,¹⁵³⁷ and I have not³⁸⁰⁸ made supplication²⁴⁷⁰ unto⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ I forced myself⁶⁶² therefore, and offered⁵⁹²⁷ a burnt offering.⁵⁹³⁰

13  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ Thou hast done foolishly:⁵⁵²⁸ thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ kept^{8104 853} the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God,⁴³⁰ which⁸³⁴ he commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee: for³⁵⁸⁸ now⁶²⁵⁸ would the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ have established^{3559 853} thy kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ upon⁴¹³ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ forever.^{5704 5769}

14  But now⁶²⁵⁸ thy kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ shall not³⁸⁰⁸ continue:⁶⁹⁶⁵ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath sought¹²⁴⁵ him a man³⁷⁶ after his own heart,³⁸²⁴ and the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ him to be captain⁵⁰⁵⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ his people,⁵⁹⁷¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ thou hast not³⁸⁰⁸ kept⁸¹⁰⁴ that ⁸⁵³ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ thee.

15  And Samuel⁸⁰⁵⁰ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and got him up⁵⁹²⁷ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ Gilgal¹⁵³⁷ unto Gibeah¹³⁹⁰ of Benjamin.¹¹⁴⁴ And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ numbered^{6485 853} the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were present⁴⁶⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ him, about six⁸³³⁷ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men.³⁷⁶

16  And Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son,¹¹²¹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that were present⁴⁶⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ them, abode³⁴²⁷ in Gibeah¹³⁸⁷ of Benjamin:¹¹⁴⁴ but the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ encamped²⁵⁸³ in Michmash.⁴³⁶³

17  And the spoilers⁷⁸⁴³ came out³³¹⁸ of the camp^{4480 4264} of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ in three⁷⁹⁶⁹ companies:⁷²¹⁸ one²⁵⁹ company⁷²¹⁸ turned⁶⁴³⁷ unto⁴¹³ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ that leadeth to Ophrah,⁶⁰⁸⁴ unto⁴¹³ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Shual:⁷⁷⁷⁷

18  And another²⁵⁹ company⁷²¹⁸ turned⁶⁴³⁷ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ to Beth-horon:¹⁰³² and another²⁵⁹ company⁷²¹⁸ turned⁶⁴³⁷ to the way¹⁸⁷⁰ of the border¹³⁶⁶ that looketh⁸²⁵⁹ to⁵⁹²¹ the valley¹⁵¹⁶ of Zeboim⁶⁶⁵⁰ toward the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

19  Now there was no³⁸⁰⁸ blacksmith²⁷⁹⁶ found⁴⁶⁷² throughout all³⁶⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ said,⁵⁵⁹ Lest⁶⁴³⁵ the Hebrews⁵⁶⁸⁰ make⁶²¹³ them swords²⁷¹⁹ or¹⁷⁶ spears:²⁵⁹⁵

20  But all³⁶⁰⁵ the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ went down³³⁸¹ to the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ to sharpen³⁹¹³ every man^{376 853} his share,⁴²⁸² and his colter,⁸⁵⁵ and his axe,⁷¹³⁴ and his mattock.⁴²⁸¹

21  Yet they had¹⁹⁶¹ a file^{6477 6310} for the mattocks,⁴²⁸¹ and for the colters,⁸⁵⁵ and for the forks,^{7969 7053} and for the axes,⁷¹³⁴ and to sharpen⁵³²⁴ the goads.¹⁸⁶¹

22  So it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the day³¹¹⁷ of battle,⁴⁴²¹ that there was neither³⁸⁰⁸ sword²⁷¹⁹ nor spear²⁵⁹⁵ found⁴⁶⁷² in the hand³⁰²⁷ of any³⁶⁰⁵ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ were with⁸⁵⁴ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and Jonathan:³⁰⁸³ but with Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ and with Jonathan³⁰⁸³ his son¹¹²¹ was there found.⁴⁶⁷²

23  And the garrison⁴⁶⁷³ of the Philistines⁶⁴³⁰ went out³³¹⁸ to⁴¹³ the passage⁴⁵⁶⁹ of Michmash.⁴³⁶³

2 καὶ ἐκλέγεται Σαουλ ἑαυτῷ τρεῖς χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐκ τῶν ἀνδρῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἦσαν μετὰ Σαουλ δισχίλιοι ἐν Μαχεμας καὶ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Βαιθηλ χίλιοι ἦσαν μετὰ Ιωναθαν ἐν Γαβεε τοῦ Βενιαμιν καὶ τὸ κατάλοιπον τοῦ λαοῦ ἐξαπέστειλεν ἕκαστον εἰς τὸ σκήνωμα αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ιωναθαν τὸν Νασιβ τὸν ἀλλόφυλον τὸν ἐν τῷ βουνῷ καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ Σαουλ σάλπιγγι σαλπίζει εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν λέγων ἠθετήκασιν οἱ δοῦλοι

4 καὶ πᾶς Ισραηλ ἤκουσεν λεγόντων πέπαικεν Σαουλ τὸν Νασιβ τὸν ἀλλόφυλον καὶ ᾐσχύνθησαν Ισραηλ ἐν τοῖς ἀλλοφύλοις καὶ ἀνεβόησαν ὁ λαὸς ὀπίσω Σαουλ ἐν Γαλγαλοις

5 καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι συνάγονται εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀναβαίνουσιν ἐπὶ Ισραηλ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες ἁρμάτων καὶ ἓξ χιλιάδες ἱππέων καὶ λαὸς ὡς ἡ ἄμμος ἡ παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῷ πλήθει καὶ ἀναβαίνουσιν καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν ἐν Μαχεμας ἐξ ἐναντίας Βαιθων κατὰ νότου

6 καὶ ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ εἶδεν ὅτι στενῶς αὐτῷ μὴ προσάγειν αὐτόν καὶ ἐκρύβη ὁ λαὸς ἐν τοῖς σπηλαίοις καὶ ἐν ταῖς μάνδραις καὶ ἐν ταῖς πέτραις καὶ ἐν τοῖς βόθροις καὶ ἐν τοῖς λάκκοις

7 καὶ οἱ διαβαίνοντες διέβησαν τὸν Ιορδάνην εἰς γῆν Γαδ καὶ Γαλααδ καὶ Σαουλ ἔτι ἦν ἐν Γαλγαλοις καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐξέστη ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ διέλιπεν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας τῷ μαρτυρίῳ ὡς εἶπεν Σαμουηλ καὶ οὐ παρεγένετο Σαμουηλ εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ διεσπάρη ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ

9 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ προσαγάγετε ὅπως ποιήσω ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ εἰρηνικάς καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν

10 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσεν ἀναφέρων τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν καὶ Σαμουηλ παραγίνεται καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Σαουλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῷ εὐλογῆσαι αὐτόν

11 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ τί πεποίηκας καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ ὅτι εἶδον ὡς διεσπάρη ὁ λαὸς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ σὺ οὐ παρεγένου ὡς διετάξω ἐν τῷ μαρτυρίῳ τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι συνήχθησαν εἰς Μαχεμας

12 καὶ εἶπα νῦν καταβήσονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι πρός με εἰς Γαλγαλα καὶ τοῦ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου οὐκ ἐδεήθην καὶ ἐνεκρατευσάμην καὶ ἀνήνεγκα τὴν ὁλοκαύτωσιν

13 καὶ εἶπεν Σαμουηλ πρὸς Σαουλ μεματαίωταί σοι ὅτι οὐκ ἐφύλαξας τὴν ἐντολήν μου ἣν ἐνετείλατό σοι κύριος ὡς νῦν ἡτοίμασεν κύριος τὴν βασιλείαν σου ἕως αἰῶνος ἐπὶ Ισραηλ

14 καὶ νῦν ἡ βασιλεία σου οὐ στήσεται καὶ ζητήσει κύριος ἑαυτῷ ἄνθρωπον κατὰ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐντελεῖται κύριος αὐτῷ εἰς ἄρχοντα ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἐφύλαξας ὅσα ἐνετείλατό σοι κύριος

15 καὶ ἀνέστη Σαμουηλ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκ Γαλγαλων εἰς ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα τοῦ λαοῦ ἀνέβη ὀπίσω Σαουλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν ὀπίσω τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ πολεμιστοῦ αὐτῶν παραγενομένων ἐκ Γαλγαλων εἰς Γαβαα Βενιαμιν καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Σαουλ τὸν λαὸν τὸν εὑρεθέντα μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὡς ἑξακοσίους ἄνδρας

16 καὶ Σαουλ καὶ Ιωναθαν υἱὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ λαὸς οἱ εὑρεθέντες μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐκάθισαν ἐν Γαβεε Βενιαμιν καὶ ἔκλαιον καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι παρεμβεβλήκεισαν εἰς Μαχεμας

17 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν διαφθείρων ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἀλλοφύλων τρισὶν ἀρχαῖς ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία ἐπιβλέπουσα ὁδὸν Γοφερα ἐπὶ γῆν Σωγαλ

18 καὶ ἡ μία ἀρχὴ ἐπιβλέπουσα ὁδὸν Βαιθωρων καὶ ἡ ἀρχὴ ἡ μία ἐπιβλέπουσα ὁδὸν Γαβεε τὴν εἰσκύπτουσαν ἐπὶ Γαι τὴν Σαβιν

19 καὶ τέκτων σιδήρου οὐχ εὑρίσκετο ἐν πάσῃ γῇ Ισραηλ ὅτι εἶπον οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι μὴ ποιήσωσιν οἱ Εβραῖοι ῥομφαίαν καὶ δόρυ

20 καὶ κατέβαινον πᾶς Ισραηλ εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων χαλκεύειν ἕκαστος τὸ θέριστρον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ σκεῦος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕκαστος τὴν ἀξίνην αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ δρέπανον αὐτοῦ

21 καὶ ἦν ὁ τρυγητὸς ἕτοιμος τοῦ θερίζειν τὰ δὲ σκεύη ἦν τρεῖς σίκλοι εἰς τὸν ὀδόντα καὶ τῇ ἀξίνῃ καὶ τῷ δρεπάνῳ ὑπόστασις ἦν ἡ αὐτή

22 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ πολέμου Μαχεμας καὶ οὐχ εὑρέθη ῥομφαία καὶ δόρυ ἐν χειρὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ μετὰ Σαουλ καὶ μετὰ Ιωναθαν καὶ εὑρέθη τῷ Σαουλ καὶ τῷ Ιωναθαν υἱῷ αὐτοῦ

23 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ ὑποστάσεως τῶν ἀλλοφύλων τὴν ἐν τῷ πέραν Μαχεμας

1 Filius unius anni erat Saul cum regnare cœpisset: duobus autem annis regnavit super Israël.

2 Et elegit sibi Saul tria millia de Israël: et erant cum Saul duo millia in Machmas, et in monte Bethel: mille autem cum Jonatha in Gabaa Benjamin: porro ceterum populum remisit unumquemque in tabernacula sua.

3 Et percussit Jonathas stationem Philisthinorum quæ erat in Gabaa. Quod cum audissent Philisthiim, Saul cecinit buccina in omni terra, dicens: Audiant Hebræi.

4 Et universus Israël audivit hujuscemodi famam: Percussit Saul stationem Philisthinorum, et erexit se Israël adversus Philisthiim. Clamavit ergo populus post Saul in Galgala.

5 Et Philisthiim congregati sunt ad præliandum contra Israël, triginta millia curruum, et sex millia equitum, et reliquum vulgus, sicut arena quæ est in littore maris plurima. Et ascendentes castrametati sunt in Machmas ad orientem Bethaven.

6 Quod cum vidissent viri Israël se in arcto positos (afflictus enim erat populus), absconderunt se in speluncis, et in abditis, in petris quoque, et in antris, et in cisternis.

7 Hebræi autem transierunt Jordanem in terram Gad et Galaad.
Cumque adhuc esset Saul in Galgala, universus populus perterritus est qui sequebatur eum.

8 Et expectavit septem diebus juxta placitum Samuelis, et non venit Samuel in Galgala, dilapsusque est populus ab eo.

9 Ait ergo Saul: Afferte mihi holocaustum et pacifica. Et obtulit holocaustum.

10 Cumque complesset offerens holocaustum, ecce Samuel veniebat: et egressus est Saul obviam ei ut salutaret eum.

11 Locutusque est ad eum Samuel: Quid fecisti? Respondit Saul: Quia vidi quod populus dilaberetur a me, et tu non veneras juxta placitos dies, porro Philisthiim congregati fuerant in Machmas,

12 dixi: Nunc descendent Philisthiim ad me in Galgala, et faciem Domini non placavi. Necessitate compulsus, obtuli holocaustum.

13 Dixitque Samuel ad Saul: Stulte egisti, nec custodisti mandata Domini Dei tui quæ præcepit tibi. Quod si non fecisses, jam nunc præparasset Dominus regnum tuum super Israël in sempiternum:

14 sed nequaquam regnum tuum ultra consurget. Quæsivit Dominus sibi virum juxta cor suum: et præcepit ei Dominus ut esset dux super populum suum, eo quod non servaveris quæ præcepit Dominus.

15 Surrexit autem Samuel, et ascendit de Galgalis in Gabaa Benjamin. Et reliqui populi ascenderunt post Saul obviam populo, qui expugnabant eos venientes de Galgala in Gabaa, in colle Benjamin. Et recensuit Saul populum qui inventi fuerant cum eo, quasi sexcentos viros.

16 Et Saul et Jonathas filius ejus, populusque qui inventus fuerat cum eis, erat in Gabaa Benjamin: porro Philisthiim consederant in Machmas.

17 Et egressi sunt ad prædandum de castris Philisthinorum tres cunei. Unus cuneus pergebat contra viam Ephra ad terram Sual:

18 porro alius ingrediebatur per viam Beth-horon: tertius autem verterat se ad iter termini imminentis valli Seboim contra desertum.

19 Porro faber ferrarius non inveniebatur in omni terra Israël: caverant enim Philisthiim, ne forte facerent Hebræi gladium aut lanceam.

20 Descendebat ergo omnis Israël ad Philisthiim, ut exacueret unusquisque vomerem suum, et ligonem, et securim, et sarculum.

21 Retusæ itaque erant acies vomerum, et ligonum, et tridentum, et securium, usque ad stimulum corrigendum.

22 Cumque venisset dies prælii, non est inventus ensis et lancea in manu totius populi qui erat cum Saule et Jonatha, excepto Saul et Jonatha filio ejus.

23 Egressa est autem statio Philisthiim, ut transcenderet in Machmas.
