Samuel reprende a Saúl

13 Saúl tenía treinta años[a] cuando comenzó a reinar sobre Israel y su reinado duró cuarenta y dos años.[b]

2 De entre los israelitas, Saúl escogió tres mil soldados; dos mil estaban con él en Micmás y en los montes de Betel, y mil estaban con Jonatán en Gueba[c] de Benjamín. Al resto del ejército Saúl lo mandó a sus hogares.

3 Jonatán atacó la guarnición filistea apostada en Gueba, y esto llegó a oídos de los filisteos. Entonces Saúl mandó que se tocara la trompeta por todo el país, pues dijo: «¡Que se enteren todos los hebreos!».

4 Todo Israel se enteró de esta noticia: «Saúl ha atacado la guarnición filistea, así que los israelitas se han hecho odiosos a los filisteos». Por tanto, el pueblo se puso a las órdenes de Saúl en Guilgal.

5 Los filisteos también se juntaron para hacerle la guerra a Israel. Contaban con tres mil[d] carros, seis mil jinetes y un ejército tan numeroso como la arena a la orilla del mar. Avanzaron hacia Micmás, al este de Bet Avén, y allí acamparon. 6 Los israelitas se dieron cuenta de que estaban en aprietos, pues todo el ejército se veía amenazado. Por eso tuvieron que esconderse en las cuevas, en los matorrales, entre las rocas, en las zanjas y en los pozos. 7 Algunos hebreos incluso cruzaron el Jordán para huir al territorio de Gad, en Galaad.

Saúl se había quedado en Guilgal y todo el ejército que lo acompañaba temblaba de miedo. 8 Allí estuvo esperando siete días, según el plazo indicado por Samuel, pero este no llegaba. Como los soldados comenzaban a desbandarse, 9 Saúl ordenó: «Tráiganme el holocausto y los sacrificios de comunión»; y él mismo ofreció el holocausto. 10 En el momento en que Saúl terminaba de celebrar el sacrificio, llegó Samuel. Saúl salió a recibirlo y lo saludó.

11 Pero Samuel reclamó:

—¿Qué has hecho?

Y Saúl respondió:

—Pues, como vi que la gente se desbandaba, que tú no llegabas en el plazo indicado, y que los filisteos se habían juntado en Micmás, 12 pensé: “Los filisteos ya están por atacarme en Guilgal, y ni siquiera he implorado el favor del Señor”. Por eso me atreví a ofrecer el holocausto.

13 —¡Te has portado como un necio! —respondió Samuel—. No has cumplido el mandamiento que te dio el Señor tu Dios. El Señor habría establecido tu reino sobre Israel para siempre, 14 pero ahora te digo que tu reino no permanecerá. El Señor ya está buscando un hombre conforme a su corazón y lo ha designado gobernante de su pueblo, pues tú no has obedecido.

15 Dicho esto, Samuel se fue de Guilgal hacia Gueba de Benjamín.

Israel no tenía armas

Saúl contó a los soldados que estaban con él y eran unos seiscientos hombres.

16 Él y su hijo Jonatán, junto con sus soldados, se quedaron en Gueba de Benjamín, mientras que los filisteos seguían acampados en Micmás. 17 Del campamento filisteo salió una tropa de asalto dividida en tres escuadrones: uno de ellos avanzó por el camino de Ofra, hacia el territorio de Súal; 18 otro, por Bet Jorón; y el tercero, por la frontera del valle de Zeboyín, en dirección al desierto.

19 En todo el territorio de Israel no había un solo herrero, pues los filisteos no permitían que los hebreos se forjaran espadas y lanzas. 20 Por tanto, todo Israel dependía de los filisteos para que les afilaran los arados, los azadones, las hachas y las hoces.[e] 21 Por un arado o un azadón cobraban dos tercios de un siclo[f] de plata, y un tercio de siclo[g] por una horqueta o un hacha o por arreglar las aguijadas.

22 Así que ninguno de los soldados israelitas tenía espada o lanza, excepto Saúl y Jonatán.

Jonatán ataca a los filisteos

23 Un destacamento de filisteos avanzó hasta el paso de Micmás.

1 Samuel 13
New International Version

Samuel Rebukes Saul

13 Saul was thirty[a] years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-[b] two years.

2 Saul chose three thousand men from Israel; two thousand(A) were with him at Mikmash(B) and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah(C) in Benjamin. The rest of the men he sent back to their homes.

3 Jonathan attacked the Philistine outpost(D) at Geba,(E) and the Philistines heard about it. Then Saul had the trumpet(F) blown throughout the land and said, “Let the Hebrews hear!” 4 So all Israel heard the news: “Saul has attacked the Philistine outpost, and now Israel has become obnoxious(G) to the Philistines.” And the people were summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.

5 The Philistines assembled(H) to fight Israel, with three thousand[c] chariots, six thousand charioteers, and soldiers as numerous as the sand(I) on the seashore. They went up and camped at Mikmash,(J) east of Beth Aven.(K) 6 When the Israelites saw that their situation was critical and that their army was hard pressed, they hid(L) in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.(M) 7 Some Hebrews even crossed the Jordan to the land of Gad(N) and Gilead.

Saul remained at Gilgal, and all the troops with him were quaking(O) with fear. 8 He waited seven(P) days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter. 9 So he said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.” And Saul offered(Q) up the burnt offering. 10 Just as he finished making the offering, Samuel(R) arrived, and Saul went out to greet(S) him.

11 “What have you done?” asked Samuel.

Saul replied, “When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash,(T) 12 I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal,(U) and I have not sought the Lord’s favor.(V)’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering.”

13 “You have done a foolish thing,(W)” Samuel said. “You have not kept(X) the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.(Y) 14 But now your kingdom(Z) will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart(AA) and appointed(AB) him ruler(AC) of his people, because you have not kept(AD) the Lord’s command.”

15 Then Samuel left Gilgal[d] and went up to Gibeah(AE) in Benjamin, and Saul counted the men who were with him. They numbered about six hundred.(AF)

Israel Without Weapons

16 Saul and his son Jonathan and the men with them were staying in Gibeah[e](AG) in Benjamin, while the Philistines camped at Mikmash. 17 Raiding(AH) parties went out from the Philistine camp in three detachments. One turned toward Ophrah(AI) in the vicinity of Shual, 18 another toward Beth Horon,(AJ) and the third toward the borderland overlooking the Valley of Zeboyim(AK) facing the wilderness.

19 Not a blacksmith(AL) could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, “Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears!(AM)” 20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plow points, mattocks, axes and sickles[f] sharpened. 21 The price was two-thirds of a shekel[g] for sharpening plow points and mattocks, and a third of a shekel[h] for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads.

22 So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan(AN) had a sword or spear(AO) in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

Jonathan Attacks the Philistines

23 Now a detachment of Philistines had gone out to the pass(AP) at Mikmash.(AQ)

Saul Fights the Philistines

13 Saul was…[a] years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for… and two[b] years over Israel.

2 Saul chose three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in (A)Michmash and the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in (B)Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent home, every man to his tent. 3 Jonathan defeated (C)the garrison of the Philistines that was (D)at Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul (E)blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear.” 4 And all Israel heard it said that Saul had defeated the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become a stench to the Philistines. And the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.

5 And the Philistines mustered to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen and troops (F)like the sand on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of (G)Beth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were hard pressed), the people hid themselves (H)in caves and in holes and in rocks and in tombs and in cisterns, 7 and some Hebrews crossed the fords of the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. Saul was still at Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

Saul's Unlawful Sacrifice

8 (I)He waited for seven days, the time appointed by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him. 9 So Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering here to me, and the peace offerings.” And he offered the burnt offering. 10 As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came. And Saul went out to meet him and greet him. 11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines had mustered at Michmash, 12 I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the favour of the Lord.’ So I forced myself, and offered the burnt offering.” 13 And Samuel said to Saul, (J)“You have done foolishly. (K)You have not kept the command of the Lord your God, with which he commanded you. For then the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel for ever. 14 But now (L)your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man (M)after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.” 15 And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal. The rest of the people went up after Saul to meet the army; they went up from Gilgal[c] to (N)Gibeah of Benjamin.

And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, (O)about six hundred men. 16 And Saul and Jonathan his son and the people who were present with them stayed in (P)Geba of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 17 And (Q)raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned towards Ophrah, to the land of Shual; 18 another company turned towards (R)Beth-horon; and another company turned towards the border that looks down on the Valley of (S)Zeboim towards the wilderness.

19 (T)Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.” 20 But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to sharpen his ploughshare, his mattock, his axe, or his sickle,[d] 21 and the charge was two-thirds of a shekel[e] for the ploughshares and for the mattocks, and a third of a shekel[f] for sharpening the axes and for setting the goads.[g] 22 So on the day of the battle (U)there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan, but Saul and Jonathan his son had them. 23 And (V)the garrison of the Philistines went out to the (W)pass of (X)Michmash.

1 Samuel 13
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)

Sinaway ni Samuel si Saul

13 Si Saul ay 30[a] taong gulang nang maging hari ng Israel, at naghari siya rito sa loob ng 42[b] taon.

2 Pumili si Saul ng 3,000 lalaki sa Israel para makipaglaban sa mga Filisteo. Ang mga hindi napili ay pinauwi niya. Isinama niya ang 2,000 sa Micmash at sa kaburulan ng Betel at ang 1,000 naman ay pinasama niya sa anak niyang si Jonatan sa Gibea na sakop ng mga taga-Benjamin.

3 Sinalakay ni Jonatan ang kampo ng mga Filisteo sa Geba at nabalitaan ito ng iba pang Filisteo. Kaya iniutos ni Saul na patunugin ang trumpeta sa buong Israel bilang paghahanda ng mga Hebreo[c] sa digmaan. 4 Nabalitaan ng mga Israelita na galit na galit ang mga Filisteo sa kanila dahil sinalakay ni Saul ang kampo. Kaya nagtipon ang mga Israelita sa Gilgal kasama ni Saul.

5 Nagtipon ang mga Filisteo para makipagdigma sa mga Israelita. Mayroon silang 3,000[d] karwahe, 6,000 mangangabayo at mga sundalo na kasindami ng buhangin sa tabing-dagat. Nagtipon sila at nagkampo sa Micmash, sa silangan ng Bet Aven. 6 Nang makita ng mga Israelita na nanganganib ang sitwasyon nila, nagtago sila sa mga kweba, talahiban, mga batuhan, hukay at mga imbakan ng tubig. 7 Ang iba sa kanilaʼy tumawid sa Ilog ng Jordan papuntang Gad at Gilead. Naiwan si Saul sa Gilgal, at nanginginig sa takot ang mga kasama niya.

8 Naghintay si Saul kay Samuel sa Gilgal ng pitong araw ayon sa sinabi ni Samuel sa kanya, pero hindi dumating si Samuel. Nang makita ni Saul na unti-unting nag-aalisan ang mga kasama niya, sinabi niya, 9 “Dalhin ninyo sa akin ang handog na sinusunog at ang handog para sa mabuting relasyon.”[e] At inialay ni Saul ang mga handog na sinusunog. 10 Nang patapos na siya, dumating si Samuel. Sinalubong niya ito upang batiin, pero nagtanong si Samuel, 11 “Ano ang ginawa mo?” Sumagot si Saul, “Nakita ko na unti-unting nag-aalisan ang mga kasama ko, at hindi ka dumating sa oras na sinabi mo, at nagtitipon na ang mga Filisteo sa Micmash. 12 Inisip ko na baka salakayin kami ng mga Filisteo rito sa Gilgal at hindi pa nakakapaghandog sa Panginoon para humingi ng tulong sa kanya. Kaya napilitan akong mag-alay ng handog na sinusunog.”

13 Sinabi ni Samuel, “Kahangalan ang ginawa mo! Hindi mo sinunod ang utos na ibinigay sa iyo ng Panginoon na iyong Dios. Kung sumunod ka lang sana, ang sambahayan mo ang maghahari sa Israel habang panahon. 14 Pero hindi na ito mangyayari dahil nakakita na ang Panginoon ng taong susunod sa kagustuhan niya, at ginawa na siyang pinuno para sa kanyang mga mamamayan, dahil hindi ka sumunod sa utos ng Panginoon.”

15 Pagkatapos, umalis si Samuel sa Gilgal at pumunta sa Gibea, na sakop ng Benjamin. Binilang ni Saul ang mga natira niyang tauhan – 600 lahat.

Walang Armas ang mga Israelita

16 Nagkampo si Saul, ang anak niyang si Jonatan, at ang mga natitira pa niyang tauhan sa Geba, na sakop ng Benjamin, habang ang mga Filisteo naman ay nagkakampo sa Micmash. 17 Nagtatlong grupo ang mga Filisteo sa kanilang pagsalakay. Ang isang grupoʼy pumunta sa Ofra, sa lupain ng Shual. 18 Ang isang grupoʼy sa Bet Horon, at ang isaʼy pumunta sa hangganan kung saan matatanaw ang Lambak ng Zeboim na papunta sa disyerto.

19 Nang mga panahong iyon, walang panday sa buong Israel. Hindi sila pinayagan ng mga Filisteo dahil sinabi nila, “Baka gumawa ng mga espada at sibat ang mga Hebreo.” 20 Kaya kinakailangan pa ng mga Israelitang pumunta sa mga Filisteo kung maghahasa sila ng kanilang talim ng araro, piko, palakol at karit. 21 At mahal ang singil sa kanila. Ang bayad sa pagpapahasa ng araro at piko ay dalawang pirasong pilak at sa pagpapahasa ng palakol at talim ng pantaboy sa hayop ay isang pirasong pilak. 22 Kaya nang araw ng digmaan, wala ni isang sundalo sa Israel ang may espada at sibat maliban kina Saul at Jonatan. 23 Samantala, nagpadala ang mga Filisteo ng mga sundalo para bantayan ang daanan papuntang Micmash.
