Chapter 13 Saul reigned one year,
and when he had reigned two years over

00:05.580 --> 00:10.200
Israel, Saul chose him three thousand men
of Israel, whereof two thousand were with

00:10.200 --> 00:13.940
Saul in Michmash and in Mount Bethel,
and a thousand were with Jonathan in

00:13.940 --> 00:17.720
Gibeah of Benjamin, and the rest of the
people he sent every man to his tent.

00:18.360 --> 00:22.080
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the
Philistines that was in Giba, and the

00:22.080 --> 00:23.000
Philistines heard of it.

00:23.380 --> 00:27.520
And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all
the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.

00:27.520 --> 00:31.320
And all Israel heard say that Saul had
smitten a garrison of the Philistines,

00:31.540 --> 00:34.980
and that Israel also was had an
abomination with the Philistines.

00:35.340 --> 00:38.200
And the people were called together after
Saul to Gilgal.

00:38.880 --> 00:41.920
And the Philistines gathered themselves
together to fight with Israel,

00:42.300 --> 00:46.800
thirty thousand chariots and six thousand
horsemen, and people as the sand which is

00:46.800 --> 00:47.940
on the seashore in multitude.

00:48.660 --> 00:52.040
And they came up, and pitched in Michmash
eastward from Beth-Avon.

00:52.780 --> 00:55.660
When the men of Israel saw that they were
in a strait, for the people were

00:55.660 --> 00:59.960
distressed, then the people did hide
themselves in caves, and in thickets,

01:00.180 --> 01:02.700
and in rocks, and in high places,
and in pits.

01:03.280 --> 01:06.580
And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan
to the land of Gad in Gilead.

01:07.160 --> 01:11.360
As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal,
and all the people followed him trembling.

01:12.100 --> 01:16.120
And he tarried seven days according to the
set time that Samuel had appointed.

01:17.380 --> 01:21.140
But Samuel came not to Gilgal,
and the people were scattered from him.

01:21.140 --> 01:25.940
And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt
offering to me, and peace offerings.

01:26.360 --> 01:28.080
And he offered the burnt offering.

01:29.000 --> 01:32.420
And it came to pass that as soon as he had
made an end of offering the burnt

01:32.420 --> 01:37.360
offering, behold, Samuel came,
and Saul went out to meet him that he

01:37.360 --> 01:38.060
might salute him.

01:38.780 --> 01:41.300
And Samuel said, What hast thou done?

01:41.600 --> 01:44.980
And Saul said, Because I saw that the
people were scattered from me,

01:45.000 --> 01:48.480
and that thou camest not within the days
appointed, and that the Philistines

01:48.480 --> 01:50.360
gathered themselves together at Michmash.

01:50.360 --> 01:54.180
Therefore said I, the Philistines will
come down now upon me to Gilgal,

01:54.400 --> 01:56.520
and I have not made supplication unto the
Lord.

01:56.960 --> 01:59.700
I forced myself therefore, and offered a
burnt offering.

02:00.080 --> 02:03.840
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done
foolishly.

02:04.520 --> 02:09.040
Thou hast not kept the commandment of the
Lord thy God, which he commanded thee.

02:09.400 --> 02:13.020
For now would the Lord have established
thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.

02:13.620 --> 02:15.660
But now thy kingdom shall not continue.

02:16.200 --> 02:20.800
The Lord hath sought him a man after his
own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him

02:20.800 --> 02:24.680
to be captain over his people,
because thou hast not kept that which the

02:24.680 --> 02:25.680
Lord commanded thee.

02:25.980 --> 02:29.760
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from
Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin.

02:30.220 --> 02:33.880
And Saul numbered the people that were
present with him, about six hundred men.

02:34.460 --> 02:37.460
And Saul and Jonathan his son,
and the people that were present with

02:37.460 --> 02:39.080
them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin.

02:39.500 --> 02:41.520
But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

02:42.100 --> 02:45.260
And the spoilers came out of the camp of
the Philistines in three companies.

02:45.260 --> 02:49.220
One company turned unto the way that
leadeth to Aphra, unto the land of Shul.

02:49.520 --> 02:51.820
And another company turned the way to
Bethhorin.

02:52.320 --> 02:55.500
And another company turned to the way of
the border that looketh to the valley of

02:55.500 --> 02:56.780
Zeboam, toward the wilderness.

02:58.160 --> 03:01.340
Now there was no smith found throughout
all the land of Israel.

03:01.620 --> 03:05.480
For the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews
make them swords or spears.

03:05.820 --> 03:09.240
But all the Israelites went down to the
Philistines to sharpen every man his

03:09.240 --> 03:11.880
share, and his coulter, and his axe,
and his mattock.

03:12.380 --> 03:16.180
Yet they had a file for the mattocks,
and for the coulters, and for the forks,

03:16.260 --> 03:18.480
and for the axes, and to sharpen the
goads.

03:19.080 --> 03:23.060
So it came to pass in the day of battle,
that there was neither sword nor spear

03:23.060 --> 03:26.140
found in the hand of any of the people
that were with Saul and Jonathan.

03:26.660 --> 03:29.700
But with Saul and with Jonathan his son
was there found.

03:30.260 --> 03:33.360
And the garrison of the Philistines went
out to the passage of Michmash.
