1 Samuel 13:1-2

Darby Translation

13 Saul was … years old when he became king; and he reigned two years over Israel.

² And Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel: there were with Saul two thousand 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.
