13.1: One ancient translation does not have verse 1; Hebrew has as verse 1 Saul was … years old when he became king, and he was king of Israel for two years. The Hebrew text is defective at two points in this verse.2 Saulpicked three thousand men, keeping two thousand of them with him in Michmashand in the hill country of Betheland sending one thousand with his son Jonathanto Gibeah, in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. The rest of the men Saulsent home.
3 Jonathankilled the Philistine commander13.3: killed the Philistine commander; or defeated the Philistines camping.in Geba, and all the Philistines heard about it. Then Saulsent messengers to call the Hebrews to war by blowing a trumpet throughout the whole country. 4 All the Israelites were told that Saulhad killed the Philistine commander and that the Philistines hated them. So the people answered the call to join Saulat Gilgal.
5 The Philistines assembled to fight the Israelites; they had thirty thousand war chariots, six thousand cavalry troops, and as many soldiers as there are grains of sand on the seashore. They went to Michmash, east of Bethaven, and camped there. 6 Then they launched a strong attack against the Israelites, putting them in a desperate situation. Some of the Israelites hid in caves and holes or among the rocks or in pits and wells; 7 others crossed the Jordan Riverinto the territories of Gad and Gilead.
Saulwas still at Gilgal, and the people with him were trembling with fear. 8 1 S 10.8He waited seven days for Samuel, as Samuelhad instructed him to do, but Samuelstill had not come to Gilgal. The people began to desert Saul, 9 so he said to them, "Bring me the burnt sacrifices and the fellowship sacrifices." He offered a burnt sacrifice, 10 and just as he was finishing, Samuelarrived. Saulwent out to meet him and welcome him, 11 but Samuelsaid, "What have you done?"
Saulanswered, "The people were deserting me, and you had not come when you said you would; besides that, the Philistines are gathering at Michmash. 12 So I thought, ‘The Philistines are going to attack me here in Gilgal, and I have not tried to win the Lord's favor.’ So I felt I had to offer a sacrifice."
13 "That was a foolish thing to do," Samuelanswered. "You have not obeyed the command the Lordyour God gave you. If you had obeyed, he would have let you and your descendants rule over Israel forever. 14 Ac 13.22But now your rule will not continue. Because you have disobeyed him, the Lordwill find the kind of man he wants and make him ruler of his people."
15 Samuelleft Gilgaland went on his way. The rest of the people followed Saulas he went to join his soldiers. They went from Gilgal13.15: Some ancient translations on his way … went from Gilgal; Hebrew does not have these words.to Gibeahin the territory of Benjamin. Saulinspected his troops, about six hundred men. 16 Saul, his son Jonathan, and their men camped in Gebain the territory of Benjamin; the Philistine camp was at Michmash. 17 The Philistine soldiers went out on raids from their camp in three groups: one group went toward Ophrahin the territory of Shual, 18 another went toward Beth Horon, and the other one went to the border overlooking ZeboimValley and the wilderness.
19 There were no blacksmiths in Israel because the Philistines were determined to keep the Hebrews from making swords and spears. ( 20 The Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their plows, hoes, axes, and sickles13.20: One ancient translation sickles; Hebrew plows.sharpened; 21 the charge was one small coin for sharpening axes and for fixing goads,13.21: Probable text the charge … fixing goads; Hebrew unclear.and two coins for sharpening plows or hoes.) 22 And so on the day of battle none of the Israelite soldiers except Sauland his son Jonathanhad swords or spears.
23 The Philistines sent a group of soldiers to defend MichmashPass.
