撒母耳记上 13
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
扫罗犯罪
13 扫罗四十岁[a]登基。他在统治以色列的第二年， 2 从以色列人中选出三千人，亲自带领其中的两千人到密抹和伯特利山，另外一千人和约拿单留在便雅悯境内的基比亚。他把其余的人遣散回家。 3 约拿单攻打迦巴的非利士驻军，非利士人听到了这消息。于是，扫罗在各地吹响号角，通告希伯来人。 4 以色列众人听说扫罗攻打非利士人的驻军，并听说非利士人对以色列人恨之入骨，便响应扫罗的号召，聚集在吉甲。 5 非利士人调兵遣将，要攻打以色列。他们有三万辆战车和六千骑兵，步兵多如海边的沙。大军来到伯·亚文以东的密抹，驻扎在那里。 6 以色列人看见敌军压境，情势危急，纷纷躲进山洞、丛林、石穴、地洞和坑里。 7 有些希伯来人过了约旦河，逃到迦得和基列。但扫罗仍然留在吉甲，跟随他的人都害怕得发抖。
8 扫罗按着撒母耳所定的日期在吉甲等了七天，可是撒母耳还没有来。扫罗的军兵开始溜走。 9 于是，扫罗说：“你们把燔祭和平安祭带到我这里来”。他就献上了燔祭。 10 扫罗刚把燔祭献完，撒母耳就来了，扫罗出去迎接他，向他问安。 11 撒母耳对扫罗说：“你做的是什么事？”扫罗答道：“我看见手下的人不断离我而去，你到了约定的时候还没有来，而且非利士人就聚集在密抹。 12 我想非利士人就要到吉甲来攻打我们了，但我们还没有向耶和华求助，我迫不得已，就献上燔祭了。” 13 撒母耳说：“你真糊涂！你违背了你的上帝耶和华的命令。祂本来要使你的王位在以色列永远坚立， 14 但现在你的王位不能长久了，耶和华已经找到一个合祂心意的人，要立他做百姓的君王。因为你没有遵守耶和华的命令。” 15 撒母耳离开吉甲去便雅悯境内的基比亚。扫罗数了一下跟随他的人，约有六百人。
16 扫罗及其儿子约拿单和随从留在便雅悯境内的迦巴，非利士人则在密抹扎营。 17 非利士人分成三队施行突袭，一队前往书亚境内的俄弗拉， 18 一队前往伯·和仑，一队前往边境地区，那里可以俯瞰旷野附近的洗波音谷。
19 那时，以色列全境找不到一个铁匠，这是因为非利士人的禁令，以免希伯来人制造刀枪。 20 以色列人都要到非利士的铁匠那里去磨锄、犁、斧和铲。 21 磨锄或犁要花八克银子，磨三齿叉、斧头或赶畜棒要花四克银子。 22 所以在交战的日子，除了扫罗和约拿单外，其他以色列人手上都没有刀枪。 23 当时非利士的一队防兵前往密抹的隘口驻守。

1 Samuel 13
1599 Geneva Bible
13 3 The Philistines are smitten of Saul and Jonathan. 13 Saul being disobedient to God’s commandment, is showed of Samuel that he shall not reign. 19 The great slavery, wherein the Philistines kept the Israelites.
1 Saul now had been King [a]one year, and he reigned [b]two years over Israel.
2 Then Saul chose him three thousand of Israel: and 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 one to his tent.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Phi-listines, that was in the [c]hill: and it came to the Phi-listines’ ears: and Saul blew the [d]trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Hear, O ye Hebrews.
4 And all Israel heard say, Saul hath destroyed a garrison of the Philistines: wherefore Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines: and the people gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 ¶ The Philistines also gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen: for the people was like the sand which is by the seaside in multitude, and came up, and pitched in Michmash Eastward from [e]Beth Aven.
6 And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were in distress) the people hid themselves in caves, and in holds, and in rocks, and in towers, and in pits.
7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan unto the land of [f]Gad and Gilead: and Saul was yet in Gilgal, and all the people for fear followed him.
8 And he tarried seven days, according unto the time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal, therefore the people were [g]scattered from him.
9 And Saul said, Bring a burnt offering to me and peace offerings: and he offered a burnt offering.
10 And as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him, to [h]salute him.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? Then Saul said, Because I saw that the people was [i]scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together to Michmash,
12 Therefore said I, the Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the Lord. I was bold therefore and offered a burnt offering.
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy [j]God, which he commanded thee: for the Lord had now stablished thy kingdom upon Israel forever.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a [k]man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be governor over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord had commanded thee.
15 ¶ And Samuel arose, and got him up from Gilgal in [l]Gibeah of Benjamin: and Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
16 And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, had their abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines pitched in Michmash.
17 And there came out of the host of the Philistines [m]three bands to destroy, one band turned unto the way of Ophrah unto the land of Shual,
18 And another band turned toward the way to Beth Horon, and the [n]third band turned toward the way of the coast that looketh toward the valley of Zeboim, toward the wilderness.
19 Then there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.
20 Wherefore, all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, his mattock, and his axe, and his weeding hook.
21 Yet they had a file for the shares, and for the mattocks, and for the pick forks, and for the axes, and for to sharpen the goads.
22 So when the day of battle was come, there was neither [o]sword nor spear found in the hands of any of the people that were with Saul and with Jonathan: but only with Saul and Jonathan his son was there found.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines came out to the passage of Michmash.
