And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew <span class=\"add\">them<\/span> there.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V35\">35\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD. <\/div><div class=\"p\"> <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V36\">36\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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.

Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V37\">37\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V38\">38\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V39\">39\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For, <span class=\"add\">as<\/span> the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But <span class=\"add\">there was<\/span> not a man among all the people <span class=\"add\">that<\/span> answered him.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V40\">40\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V41\">41\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect <span class=\"add\">lot.<\/span> And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V42\">42\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Saul said, Cast <span class=\"add\">lots<\/span> between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V43\">43\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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 <span class=\"add\">was<\/span> in mine hand, <span class=\"add\">and,<\/span> lo, I must die.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V44\">44\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V45\">45\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel?

So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V46\">46\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. <\/div><div class=\"p\"> <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V47\">47\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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 <span class=\"add\">them. <\/span>  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V48\">48\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V49\">49\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters <span class=\"add\">were these;<\/span> the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V50\">50\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And the name of Saul\u2019s wife <span class=\"add\">was<\/span> Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host <span class=\"add\">was<\/span> Abner, the son of Ner, Saul\u2019s uncle.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V51\">51\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And Kish <span class=\"add\">was<\/span> the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner <span class=\"add\">was<\/span> the son of Abiel.  <span class=\"verse\"> <a name=\"V52\">52\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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. <\/div><hr \/><\/div>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"chapters\">\r\n    <h3>1 Samuel Chapters<\/h3>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa01\">1<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa02\">2<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa03\">3<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa04\">4<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa05\">5<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa06\">6<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa07\">7<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa08\">8<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa09\">9<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa10\">10<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa11\">11<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa12\">12<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa13\">13<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa14\">14<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa15\">15<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa16\">16<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa17\">17<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa18\">18<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa19\">19<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa20\">20<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa21\">21<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa22\">22<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa23\">23<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa24\">24<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa25\">25<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa26\">26<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa27\">27<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa28\">28<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa29\">29<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa30\">30<\/a>\r\n  <a href=\"http:\/\/12tribes.net\/bible\/1sa31\">31<\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 1\u00a0Now 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\u2019 garrison, that is on the other side.
