A guerra contra os filisteus
13 Saul tinha certa idade[a] quando começou a reinar e reinou em Israel por quarenta e dois[b] anos. 2 Saul escolheu 3.000 soldados israelitas: 2.000 ficaram com ele em Micmás, nas terras de Betel, e 1.000 ficaram com Jônatas, em Gibeá de Benjamim. Saul enviou os demais soldados para suas casas.
3 Jônatas atacou a guarnição dos filisteus em Geba e venceu. Os outros filisteus souberam disso. Então Saul disse para os que estavam com ele:
—Deixem que todos os hebreus saibam o que aconteceu aqui[c].
Saul lhes ordenou que tocassem as trombetas por todo o país. 4 Todos os israelitas ouviram a notícia:
—Saul matou o líder filisteu, e agora os filisteus nos odeiam!
Então os israelitas se reuniram com Saul em Gilgal, e 5 os filisteus reuniram-se para lutar contra Israel. Os filisteus acamparam em Micmás, ao leste de Bete-Avém, com 3.000[d] carros de combate e 6.000 cavalos. Havia tantos filisteus como a areia da praia.
6 Os israelitas viram que estavam com problemas e sentiram que estavam sem saída. Correram para se esconder onde podiam: em cavernas, gretas, túneis, poços de água e trincheiras. 7 Alguns hebreus até atravessaram o rio Jordão para a terra de Gade e Gileade. Saul ainda estava em Gilgal com todo seu exército tremendo de medo deles. 8 Como Samuel disse que se reuniria com Saul em Gilgal, Saul ficou ali por sete dias. Mas Samuel não chegava e os soldados começaram a abandonar Saul. 9 Portanto, Saul disse:
—Tragam os sacrifícios que devem ser queimados completamente e as ofertas para festejar.
E Saul ofereceu o sacrifício que deve ser queimado completamente. 10 Quando Saul acabou de oferecer o sacrifício, Samuel chegou. Saul saiu a recebê-lo 11 e Samuel lhe perguntou:
—O que você fez?
Saul respondeu:
—Vi que os soldados estavam me abandonando, e como você não chegava e os filisteus estavam se reunindo em Micmás, 12 eu pensei: “Os filisteus virão e me atacarão em Gilgal e nem sequer pedi ajuda ao SENHOR!”
Foi por isso que eu me atrevi a oferecer o sacrifício que deve ser queimado completamente.
13 Samuel respondeu:
—Você é um tolo! Não obedeceu ao SENHOR, seu Deus. Se tivesse obedecido à sua ordem, então o SENHOR teria deixado que sua família governasse Israel para sempre. 14 Mas agora seu reinado não permanecerá. O SENHOR tem buscado um homem que obedecerá a ele[e] e o tem encontrado. O SENHOR o nomeará como o novo líder do seu povo. Como não obedeceu à ordem do SENHOR, ele nomeará um novo líder.
15 Então Samuel se levantou e saiu de Gilgal.
Saul e o resto do exército saíram de Gilgal[f] rumo a Gibeá, de Benjamim. Saul contou os homens que ainda estavam com ele e eram seiscentos. 16 Saul, seu filho Jônatas e os soldados foram a Geba, de Benjamim. Os filisteus estavam acampando em Micmás. 17 O exército filisteu começou a atacar dividido em três grupos. Um grupo avançou pelo caminho de Ofra, perto de Saul; 18 outro, pelo caminho de Bete-Horom, ao oeste; e o terceiro, pela fronteira do vale de Zeboim, em direção ao deserto. 19 Nenhum dos israelitas sabia como trabalhar o ferro, pois não havia nenhum ferreiro. Os filisteus não ensinaram aos israelitas como utilizá-lo porque tinham medo que fizessem espadas e lanças. 20 Somente os filisteus sabiam afiar as ferramentas. Os israelitas dependiam dos filisteus quando necessitavam afiar os seus arados, enxadas, machados e foices. 21 Por um arado ou uma enxada os filisteus cobravam oito gramas[g] de prata; e por um ferrão, um machado ou uma aguilhada cobravam quatro gramas[h]. 22 Portanto, no dia da batalha o exército israelita não tinha espadas nem lanças, a não ser Saul e Jônatas.
23 Então um grupo de filisteus avançou até o desfiladeiro da terra de Micmás.

1 Samuel 13
King James Version
13 Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
2 Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof 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 man to his tent.
3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
4 And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at 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 forced myself 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 God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.
15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
18 And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.

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)
