CHAPTER 14
1 Samuel 14:1
1 Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the
young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines'
garrison, that is on the other side.  But he told  not his father.
1 Samuel 14:2
2 And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree
which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred
men;
1 Samuel 14:3
3 And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son
of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing  an ephod.  And the people knew 
not that Jonathan  was gone.
1 Samuel 14:4
4 And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the
Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock
on the other side: and the name  of the one  was Bozez,  and the name of the
other  Seneh.
1 Samuel 14:5
5 The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the
other southward over against Gibeah. 1 Samuel 14:6
6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go
over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will
work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD  to save  by many or by few.
1 Samuel 14:7
7 And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee;
behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. 1 Samuel 14:8
8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will
discover ourselves unto them.
1 Samuel 14:9
9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand
still in our place, and will not go up unto them. 1 Samuel 14:10
10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath
delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us. 1 Samuel 14:11
11 And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines:
and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where
they had hid themselves. 1 Samuel 14:12
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and
said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his
armourbearer, Come up  after  me: for the LORD  hath delivered  them into the
hand  of Israel.
1 Samuel 14:13
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his
armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer
slew after him.
1 Samuel 14:14
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was
about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen
might plow.
1 Samuel 14:15
15 And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people:
the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it
was a very great trembling. 1 Samuel 14:16
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the
multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another. 1 Samuel
14:17
17 Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who
is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his
armourbearer were not there.
1 Samuel 14:18
18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God
was at that time with the children of Israel. 1 Samuel 14:19
19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that
was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto
the priest, Withdraw  thine hand. 1 Samuel 14:20
20 And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and
they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow,
and there was a very great discomfiture. 1 Samuel 14:21
21 Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which
went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also
turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan. 1 Samuel
14:22
22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim,
when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after
them in the battle.
1 Samuel 14:23
23 So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.
1 Samuel 14:24
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the
people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening,  that I
may be avenged  on mine enemies.  So none of the people  tasted  any food. 1
Samuel 14:25
25 And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the
ground.
1 Samuel 14:26
26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but
no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath. 1 Samuel
14:27
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath:
wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it
in an honeycomb, and put  his hand  to his mouth;  and his eyes  were
enlightened.
1 Samuel 14:28
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the
people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth  any food this day. 
And the people  were faint. 1 Samuel 14:29
29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how
mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
1 Samuel 14:30
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of
their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater
slaughter among the Philistines?
1 Samuel 14:31
31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the
people were very faint.
1 Samuel 14:32
32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves,
and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood. 1
Samuel 14:33
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in
that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great
stone  unto me this day.
1 Samuel 14:34
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them,
Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here,
and eat; and sin  not against the LORD  in eating  with the blood. And all the
people  brought  every man  his ox  with him  that night,  and slew  them
there.
1 Samuel 14:35
35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he
built unto the LORD.
1 Samuel 14:36
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them
until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do 
whatsoever seemeth  good  unto thee. Then said  the priest,  Let us draw near 
hither  unto God.
1 Samuel 14:37
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt
thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
1 Samuel 14:38
38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know
and see wherein this sin hath been this day. 1 Samuel 14:39
39 For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my
son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that
answered him.
1 Samuel 14:40
40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son
will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth  good
 unto thee.
1 Samuel 14:41
41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And
Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. 1 Samuel 14:42
42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was
taken.
1 Samuel 14:43
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told
him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end  of the rod that was
in mine hand,  and, lo,  I must die. 1 Samuel 14:44
44 And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die,
Jonathan.
1 Samuel 14:45
45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this
great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one
hair  of his head  fall  to the ground;  for he hath wrought  with God this
day.  So the people  rescued  Jonathan,  that he died  not. 1 Samuel 14:46
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went
to their own place.
1 Samuel 14:47
47 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and 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
whithersoever he turned  himself, he vexed  them. 1 Samuel 14:48
48 And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out
of the hands of them that spoiled them. 1 Samuel 14:49
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names
of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name
of the younger  Michal:
1 Samuel 14:50
50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the
name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's  uncle. 1
Samuel 14:51
51 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of
Abiel.
1 Samuel 14:52
52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and
when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. CHAPTER
15
1 Samuel 15:1
1 Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over
his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words
of the LORD.
1 Samuel 15:2
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how
he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 1 Samuel 15:3
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare
them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel
 and ass.
1 Samuel 15:4
4 And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two
hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah. 1 Samuel 15:5
5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley. 1 Samuel 15:6
6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the
Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the
children of Israel,  when they came up  out of Egypt.  So the Kenites departed 
from among  the Amalekites. 1 Samuel 15:7
7 And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is
over against Egypt.
1 Samuel 15:8
8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all
the people with the edge of the sword. 1 Samuel 15:9
9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the
oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not
utterly destroy them: but every thing  that was vile  and refuse,  that they
destroyed utterly.
1 Samuel 15:10
10 Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, 1 Samuel 15:11
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back
from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved
Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night. 1 Samuel 15:12
12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel,
saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone
about,  and passed on,  and gone down  to Gilgal. 1 Samuel 15:13
13 And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the
LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD. 1 Samuel 15:14
14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears,
and the lowing of the oxen which I hear? 1 Samuel 15:15
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people
spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy
God; and the rest  we have utterly destroyed. 1 Samuel 15:16
16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath
said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 1 Samuel 15:17
17 And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not
made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over
Israel?
1 Samuel 15:18
18 And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the
sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed. 1 Samuel
15:19
19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon
the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 1 Samuel 15:20
20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and
have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king  of
Amalek,  and have utterly destroyed  the Amalekites. 1 Samuel 15:21
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things
which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in
Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:22
22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and
sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than
sacrifice, and to hearken  than the fat  of rams. 1 Samuel 15:23
23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity
and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also
rejected thee from being king. 1 Samuel 15:24
24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the
commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed
their voice.
1 Samuel 15:25
25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I
may worship the LORD.
1 Samuel 15:26
26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast
rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king
over Israel.
1 Samuel 15:27
27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his
mantle, and it rent.
1 Samuel 15:28
28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee
this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
1 Samuel 15:29
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a
man, that he should repent.
1 Samuel 15:30
30 Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the
elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may
worship the LORD thy God.
1 Samuel 15:31
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD. 1 Samuel
15:32
32 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And
Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness  of death 
is past.
1 Samuel 15:33
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother
be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before  the LORD  in
Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:34
34 Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
1 Samuel 15:35
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless
Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul  king 
over Israel.
CHAPTER 16
1 Samuel 16:1
1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I
have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go,
I will send  thee to Jesse  the Bethlehemite:  for I have provided  me a king 
among his sons.
1 Samuel 16:2
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD
said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come  to sacrifice  to the LORD.
1 Samuel 16:3
3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and
thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. 1 Samuel 16:4
4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the
elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 1
Samuel 16:5
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify
yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his
sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 1 Samuel 16:6
6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said,
Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him. 1 Samuel 16:7
7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height
of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man
seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance,  but the LORD  looketh on the
heart.
1 Samuel 16:8
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said,
Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
1 Samuel 16:9
9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen
this.
1 Samuel 16:10
10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said
unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. 1 Samuel 16:11
11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There
remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said
unto Jesse,  Send  and fetch  him: for we will not sit down  till he come 
hither.
1 Samuel 16:12
12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful
countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for
this is he.
1 Samuel 16:13
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his
brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So
Samuel  rose up,  and went  to Ramah. 1 Samuel 16:14
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the
LORD troubled him.
1 Samuel 16:15
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God
troubleth thee.
1 Samuel 16:16
16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a
man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the
evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play  with his hand, and thou
shalt be well.
1 Samuel 16:17
17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well,
and bring him to me.
1 Samuel 16:18
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of
Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man,
and a man  of war,  and prudent  in matters,  and a comely  person, and the
LORD  is with him.
1 Samuel 16:19
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son,
which is with the sheep.
1 Samuel 16:20
20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and
sent them by David his son unto Saul. 1 Samuel 16:21
21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and
he became his armourbearer.
1 Samuel 16:22
22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for
he hath found favour in my sight. 1 Samuel 16:23
23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David
took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well,
and the evil spirit  departed  from him.
