| 1 | Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines` garrison, that is on yonder side. But he didn`t tell his father. | 1Sa 14:39-45 1Sa 13:2 1Sa 13:22 1Sa 18:1-4 2Sa 1:4 2Sa 1:5 2Sa 1:25 2Sa 1:26 |
| 2 | Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate-tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men; | 1Sa 13:15 1Sa 13:16 Isa 10:28 Isa 10:29 |
| 3 | and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod`s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn`t know that Jonathan was gone. | 1Sa 22:9-12 1Sa 22:20-12 |
| 4 | Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines` garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. | 1Sa 13:23 |
| 5 | The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba. |
| 6 | Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint to Yahweh to save by many or by few. | 1Sa 17:26 1Sa 17:36 Gn 17:7-11 Jg 15:18 2Sa 1:20 Jer 9:23 Jer 9:26 Eph 2:11 Eph 2:12 Php 3:3 |
| 7 | His armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in your heart: turn you, behold, I am with you according to your heart. | 1Sa 10:7 2Sa 7:3 Ps 46:7 Zc 8:23 |
| 8 | Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will disclose ourselves to them. | Jg 7:9-14 |
| 9 | If they say thus to us, Wait until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them. | Gn 24:13 Gn 24:14 Jg 6:36-40 |
| 10 | But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up; for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand: and this shall be the sign to us. | 1Sa 10:7 Gn 24:14 Jg 7:11 Isa 7:11-14 |
| 11 | Both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves. | 1Sa 14:22 1Sa 13:6 Jg 6:2 |
| 12 | The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me; for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel. | 1Sa 14:10 1Sa 17:43 1Sa 17:44 2Sa 2:14-17 2Ki 14:8 |
| 13 | Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him. | Ps 18:29 Heb 11:34 |
| 14 | That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow`s length in an acre of land. |
| 15 | There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling. | Jsh 2:9 Jg 7:21 2Ki 7:6 2Ki 7:7 Jb 18:11 Ps 14:5 |
| 16 | The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went [here] and there. | Ps 58:7 Ps 68:2 |
| 17 | Then said Saul to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. When they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there. |
| 18 | Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was [there] at that time with the children of Israel. | 1Sa 4:3-5 1Sa 30:8 Nm 27:21 Jg 20:18 Jg 20:23 Jg 20:27 Jg 20:28 2Sa 11:11 2Sa 15:24-26 |
| 19 | It happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hand. | 1Sa 14:24 1Sa 13:11 Jsh 9:14 Ps 106:13 Isa 28:16 |
| 20 | Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and, behold, every man`s sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great confusion. | 1Sa 14:16 Jg 7:22 2Ch 20:23 Isa 9:19-21 Isa 19:2 |
| 21 | Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, [from the country] round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. | 1Sa 29:4 Jg 7:23 |
| 22 | Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle. | 1Sa 13:6 1Sa 31:7 |
| 23 | So Yahweh saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth-aven. | Ex 14:30 Jg 2:18 2Ki 14:27 Ps 44:6-8 Hos 1:7 |
| 24 | The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food. | 1Sa 14:27-30 Lv 27:29 Nm 21:2 Dt 27:15-26 Jsh 6:17-19 Jsh 6:26-19 Jg 11:30 Jg 11:31 Jg 21:1-5 Pr 11:9 Ro 10:2 1Co 16:22 |
| 25 | All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground. | Dt 9:28 Mt 3:5 |
| 26 | When the people were come to the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath. | Ec 9:2 |
| 27 | But Jonathan didn`t hear when his father charged the people with the oath: why he put forth the end of the rod who was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. | 1Sa 14:29 1Sa 30:12 Pr 25:26 |
| 28 | Then answered one of the people, and said, Your father directly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day. The people were faint. | 1Sa 14:24 1Sa 14:43 |
| 29 | Then said Jonathan, My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey. | 1Ki 18:18 |
| 30 | How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for now has there been no great slaughter among the Philistines. | Ec 9:18 |
| 31 | They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint; | Jsh 10:12 Jsh 19:42 |
| 32 | and the people flew on the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood. | 1Sa 15:19 |
| 33 | Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Yahweh, in that they eat with the blood. He said, you have dealt treacherously: roll a great stone to me this day. | Mt 7:5 Ro 2:1 |
| 34 | Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don`t sin against Yahweh in eating with the blood. All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there. |
| 35 | Saul built an altar to Yahweh: the same was the first altar that he built to Yahweh. | 1Sa 7:9 1Sa 7:17 Jg 21:4 Hos 8:14 2Ti 3:5 |
| 36 | Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. They said, Do whatever seems good to you. Then said the priest, Let us draw near here to God. | Jsh 10:9-14 Jsh 10:19-14 Jer 6:5 |
| 37 | Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? will you deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he didn`t answer him that day. | 1Sa 23:4 1Sa 23:9-12 1Sa 30:7 1Sa 30:8 Jg 1:1 Jg 20:18 Jg 20:28 2Sa 5:19 2Sa 5:23 1Ki 22:5 1Ki 22:15 |
| 38 | Saul said, Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see in which this sin has been this day. | 1Sa 10:19 1Sa 10:20 Jsh 7:14-26 |
| 39 | For, as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him. | 1Sa 14:24 1Sa 14:44 1Sa 19:6 1Sa 20:31 1Sa 22:16 1Sa 28:10 2Sa 12:5 Ec 9:2 |
| 40 | Then said he to all Israel, Be you on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. The people said to Saul, Do what seems good to you. | 1Sa 14:7 1Sa 14:36 2Sa 15:15 |
| 41 | Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, Show the right. Jonathan and Saul were taken [by lot]; but the people escaped. | Pr 16:33 Ac 1:24 |
| 42 | Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. Jonathan was taken. |
| 43 | Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what you have done. Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and, behold, I must die. | Jsh 7:19 Jon 1:7-10 |
| 44 | Saul said, God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan. | 1Sa 25:22 Ru 1:17 2Sa 3:9 2Sa 19:13 |
| 45 | The people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it: as Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn`t die. | 1Sa 14:23 1Sa 19:5 Ne 9:27 |
| 46 | Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place. |
| 47 | Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he put [them] to the worse. | 1Sa 13:1 |
| 48 | He did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them. | 1Sa 15:3-7 Ex 17:14 Dt 25:19 |
| 49 | Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: | 1Sa 31:2 1Ch 8:33 1Ch 9:39 |
| 50 | and the name of Saul`s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his host was Abner the son of Ner, Saul`s uncle. | 1Sa 17:55 2Sa 2:8 2Sa 3:27 |
| 51 | Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. | 1Sa 9:1 1Sa 9:21 |
| 52 | There was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him. | 1Sa 8:1 1Sa 8:11 |
