1Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
“Saul reigned one year, and when he had reigned two years over Israel,”
“Saul reigned one year. And when he had reigned two years over Israel,”
“Saul reigned one year. When he had reigned two years over Israel,”
2He chose for himself three thousand men of Israel: Two thousand were with Saul at Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the troops he sent away, each to his own home.
“Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and were in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every…”
“Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in Mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.”
3Then Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost at Geba, and the Philistines heard about it. So Saul blew the ram's horn throughout the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear!"
“And Jonathan attacked the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land saying, Let the Hebrews hear!”
“And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land saying, Let the Hebrews hear.”
“And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was at Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.”
“And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Gibeah, and the Philistines heard it, and Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.”
4And all Israel heard the news: "Saul has attacked an outpost of the Philistines, and now Israel has become a stench to the Philistines!" Then the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.
“Now, all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines and that Israel had come, had also become an abomination to the Philistines and the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.”
“And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also had an abomination with the Philistines, and the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.”
“And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines and that Israel also had an abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.”
5Now the Philistines assembled to fight against Israel with three thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmash, east of Beth-aven.
“then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel. Thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and people as the sand, which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Myknos, to the east…”
6Seeing that they were in danger because their troops were hard-pressed, the men of Israel hid in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in cellars and cisterns.
“when the men of Israel saw that they were in danger, for the people were distressed, then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.”
“when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strain, for the people were distressed, then the people did hide themselves in caves and in thickets and in rocks and in high places and in pits.”
“When the men of Israel saw. That they were in a strait. For the people were distressed. Then the people did hide themselves. In caves. And in tickets. And in rocks. And in high places. And in pits.”
“When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, where the people were distressed, then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in the rocks, and in the high places, and in pits.”
“when the men of Israel saw it, they were in a strait, for the people were distressed, and then the people hid themselves in caves and in thickets and in rocks and high places and in pits.”
7Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul, however, remained at Gilgal, and all his troops were quaking in fear.
“And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal and all the people followed him trembling.”
“And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him, trembling.”
“And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. And as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal. And all the people followed him, trembling.”
“And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. And as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal and all of the people followed him trembling.”
“And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal. And all the people followed him.”
“And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan. To the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul. He was yet at Gilgal. And all the people followed him. Trembling.”
8And Saul waited seven days for the time appointed by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the troops began to desert Saul.
“Then he waited seven days according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattered from him.”
“And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed. But Samuel came not to Gilgal, and the people were scattered from him.”
“he carried seven days according to the set time that Samuel had appointed. But Samuel came not to Gilgal and the people were scattered from him”
“He, Saul, waited seven days according to the appointed time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.”
“and Saul carried seven days according to the set time that Samuel had appointed. But Samuel came not to Gilgal, and the people were scattered from him.”
9So he said, "Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings." And he offered up the burnt offering.
“and Saul said, bring hither a burnt offering to me and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering”
“So Saul said, bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me. And he offered the burnt offering.”
“So Saul said, Bring to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.”
“And Saul said, bring hither a burnt offering to me and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.”
“And Saul said, bring hither a burnt offering to me and a peace offering. And he offered the burnt offering.”
“And Saul said, bring hither a burnt offering to me and peace offering. And he offered the burnt offering.”
10Just as he finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.
“And it came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him that he might greet him.”
“as soon as he finished offering the burnt offering that, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him and to greet him.”
“and it came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.”
“now it happened as soon as he had finished presenting the burned offering that Samuel came and Saul went up to meet him, that he might greet him.”
“And it came to pass that as soon as he made an end of the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him that he might salute him.”
11"What have you done?" Samuel asked. And Saul replied, "When I saw that the troops were deserting me, and that you did not come at the appointed time and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash,
“But Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering from me and that you did not come within the appointed days and that the Philistines were assembling at Mishmash,”
“And Samuel said, what have you done? And Saul said, when I saw that the people were scattered from me and that you did not come within the days appointed and that the Philistines gathered together at Mcmash,”
“And Samuel said unto him, what has thou done? And Saul said, because I saw that the people were scattered from me and that thou camest not within the days appointed and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at…”
“And Samuel said, what hast thou done? And Saul said, because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together”
“And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Here's the choice. Well, when I saw that the people were scattered from me and that you did not come within the days appointed and that the Philistines gathered together at”
“And Samuel said, what have you done? And Saul said, because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days that were appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at…”
12I thought, 'Now the Philistines will descend upon me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favor of the LORD.' So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering."
“therefore I said, Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the Lord. So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering.”
“then I said the Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal and I have not made supplication of the Lord. Therefore, I felt compelled and offered a burnt offering.”
“then I said, the Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal and I've not made supplication to the Lord. Therefore, I felt compelled and offered a burnt offering.”
“therefore said I, the Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal. I have not made supplication unto the Lord. I forced myself. I forced myself, therefore, and offered a burnt offering.”
13"You have acted foolishly," Samuel declared. "You have not kept the command that the LORD your God gave you; if you had, the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
“And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God which He commanded you. For now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.”
“Samuel said to Saul, You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, for now the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.”
“And Samuel said to Saul, thou hast done foolishly. Thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God which he commanded thee. For now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel”
“Samuel said to Saul, thou hast done foolishly. Thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God which he commanded thee. For now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel”
“and Samuel said to Saul Thou has done foolishly. Thou has not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God which he commanded thee. For now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel”
“Samuel said to Saul, thou hast done foolishly. Thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. For now, or for through this, would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel”
14But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought a man after His own heart and appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept the command of the LORD."
“But now, thy kingdom shall not continue, for the Lord hath sought Him a man after His own heart. And the Lord hath commanded Him to be captain over His people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.".”
“But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart. And the Lord has commanded Him to be commander over His people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
“But now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought out for himself a man after his own heart, and the Lord has appointed him as ruler over his people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
“but now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought out for himself a man after his own heart, and the Lord has appointed him as ruler over his people because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
“But now thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart. And the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.”
“but your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for himself a man after his own heart. And the Lord has commanded him to be the commander over his people because you have not kept what the Lord has commanded you.”
15Then Samuel set out from Gilgal and went up to Gibeah in Benjamin. And Saul numbered the troops who were with him, about six hundred men.
“Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin, and Saul numbered the people who were present with him about 600 men.”
“And Samuel arose and got up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin, and Saul numbered the people that were present with him, 600 men.”
16Now Saul and Jonathan his son and the troops with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Michmash.
“And Saul and Jonathan, his son, and the people that were present with him abode there at Gibeah of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.”
“Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with him remained in Gibeah of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Mithmash.”
17And raiders went out of the Philistine camp in three divisions. One headed toward Ophrah in the land of Shual,
“And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah unto the land of Shual.”
18another toward Beth-horon, and the third down the border road overlooking the Valley of Zeboim facing the wilderness.
“Another company turned to the road to Beth Haran. And another company turned to the road of the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboam toward the wilderness.”
“And another company turned the way to Beth -horon. And another company turned to the way of the border that looked to the valley of Zeboiim towards the wilderness.”
19And no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, "The Hebrews must not be allowed to make swords or spears."
“now no blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel. For the Philistines said, otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears.”
“There was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.”
“Now there was no smith found throughout all of the land of Israel, that is, blacksmith, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.”
“No blacksmith could be found in all the land of Israel because the Philistines said otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears.”
“now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel. It's 13 verse 19 for the Philistines said, lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.”
20Instead, all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen their plowshares, mattocks, axes, and sickles.
“But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen every man his share and his coulter and his axe and his mattock.”
“so all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattocks, his axe, and his hoe.”
“But all the Israelites would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man's plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his sickle.”
“So all Israel went down to the Philistines each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his ax and his hoe.”
21The charge was a pim for sharpening a plowshare or mattock, a third of a shekel for sharpening a pitchfork or an axe, and a third of a shekel for repointing an oxgoad.
“Yet they had a file for the mattocks and for the coulters and for the forks and for the axes and to sharpen the goads.”
“yet, they had a file for the mattocks and the coulters for the forks and for the axes and to sharpen the goads.”
“the charge was two thirds of a shekel for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, the axes, and to fix the hoes.”
22So on the day of battle not a sword or spear could be found in the hands of the troops with Saul and Jonathan; only Saul and his son Jonathan had weapons.
“so it came about on the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hands of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan, but they were found with Saul and his son Jonathan.”
“So it came about on the day of battle that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were Saul or Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son,”
“it came to pass in the day of battle, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, but with Saul and with Jonathan, his son was there found.”
“it came about on the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hands of any of the people who are with Saul and Jonathan, but they were found with Saul and his son Jonathan.”
23And a garrison of the Philistines had gone out to the pass at Michmash.
“And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.”
“and the garrison of the Philistines went out to the paths of Michmash.”
