וַיִּקְרְבוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִֽי׃
And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
וַיֵּצֵא בִנְיָמִן׀ לִקְרָאתָם׀ מִֽן-הַגִּבְעָה בַּיּוֹם הַשֵּׁנִי וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹד שְׁמֹנַת עָשָׂר אֶלֶף אִישׁ אָרְצָה כָּל-אֵלֶּה שֹׁלְפֵי חָֽרֶב׃
And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ כָל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכָל-הָעָם וַיָּבֹאוּ בֵֽית-אֵל וַיִּבְכּוּ וַיֵּשְׁבוּ שָׁם לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיָּצוּמוּ בַיּוֹם-הַהוּא עַד-הָעָרֶב וַֽיַּעֲלוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה׃
Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּֽיהוָה וְשָׁם אֲרוֹן בְּרִית הָֽאֱלֹהִים בַּיָּמִים הָהֵֽם׃
And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
וַיָּשֶׂם יִשְׂרָאֵל אֹֽרְבִים אֶל-הַגִּבְעָה סָבִֽיב׃
And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ אֶל-הַגִּבְעָה כְּפַעַם בְּפָֽעַם׃
And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
וַיֵּֽצְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן לִקְרַאת הָעָם הָנְתְּקוּ מִן-הָעִיר וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְהַכּוֹת מֵֽהָעָם חֲלָלִים כְּפַעַם׀ בְּפַעַם בַּֽמְסִלּוֹת אֲשֶׁר אַחַת עֹלָה בֵֽית-אֵל וְאַחַת גִּבְעָתָה בַּשָּׂדֶה כִּשְׁלֹשִׁים אִישׁ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן נִגָּפִים הֵם לְפָנֵינוּ כְּבָרִֽאשֹׁנָה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽמְרוּ נָנוּסָה וּֽנְתַקְּנוּהוּ מִן-הָעִיר אֶל-הַֽמְסִלּֽוֹת׃
And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
וְכֹל׀ אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל קָמוּ מִמְּקוֹמוֹ וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ בְּבַעַל תָּמָר וְאֹרֵב יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵגִיחַ מִמְּקֹמוֹ מִמַּֽעֲרֵה-גָֽבַע׃
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
וַיָּבֹאוּ מִנֶּגֶד לַגִּבְעָה עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ בָּחוּר מִכָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַמִּלְחָמָה כָּבֵדָה וְהֵם לֹא יָֽדְעוּ כִּֽי-נֹגַעַת עֲלֵיהֶם הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
וַיִּגֹּף יְהוָה׀ אֶֽת-בִּנְיָמִן לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּשְׁחִיתוּ בְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּבִנְיָמִן בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא עֶשְׂרִים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה אֶלֶף וּמֵאָה אִישׁ כָּל-אֵלֶּה שֹׁלֵֽף חָֽרֶב׃
And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
וַיִּרְאוּ בְנֵֽי-בִנְיָמִן כִּי נִגָּפוּ וַיִּתְּנוּ אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל מָקוֹם לְבִנְיָמִן כִּי בָֽטְחוּ אֶל-הָאֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר שָׂמוּ אֶל-הַגִּבְעָֽה׃
So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
וְהַמּוֹעֵד הָיָה לְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל עִם-הָֽאֹרֵב הֶרֶב לְהַֽעֲלוֹתָם מַשְׂאַת הֶֽעָשָׁן מִן-הָעִֽיר׃
Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
וַיַּֽהֲפֹךְ אִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּלְחָמָה וּבִנְיָמִן הֵחֵל לְהַכּוֹת חֲלָלִים בְּאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּשְׁלֹשִׁים אִישׁ כִּי אָֽמְרוּ אַךְ נִגּוֹף נִגָּף הוּא לְפָנֵינוּ כַּמִּלְחָמָה הָרִֽאשֹׁנָֽה׃
And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הָפַךְ וַיִּבָּהֵל אִישׁ בִּנְיָמִן כִּי רָאָה כִּֽי-נָגְעָה עָלָיו הָֽרָעָֽה׃
And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
וַיִּפְנוּ לִפְנֵי אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-דֶּרֶךְ הַמִּדְבָּר וְהַמִּלְחָמָה הִדְבִּיקָתְהוּ וַֽאֲשֶׁר מֵהֶעָרִים מַשְׁחִיתִים אוֹתוֹ בְּתוֹכֽוֹ׃
Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁבוּ אֶל-בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן וַיַּכּוּם לְפִי-חֶרֶב מֵעִיר מְתֹם עַד-בְּהֵמָה עַד כָּל-הַנִּמְצָא גַּם כָּל-הֶֽעָרִים הַנִּמְצָאוֹת שִׁלְּחוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל נִשְׁבַּע בַּמִּצְפָּה לֵאמֹר אִישׁ מִמֶּנּוּ לֹֽא-יִתֵּן בִּתּוֹ לְבִנְיָמִן לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לָמָה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הָיְתָה זֹאת בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לְהִפָּקֵד הַיּוֹם מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל שֵׁבֶט אֶחָֽד׃
And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִי אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה בַקָּהָל מִכָּל-שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה כִּי הַשְּׁבוּעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הָֽיְתָה לַֽאֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּה לֵאמֹר מוֹת יוּמָֽת׃
And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came up not with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came up not to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
וַיִּנָּֽחֲמוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-בִּנְיָמִן אָחִיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ נִגְדַּע הַיּוֹם שֵׁבֶט אֶחָד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִי אֶחָד מִשִּׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-עָלָה אֶל-יְהוָה הַמִּצְפָּה וְהִנֵּה לֹא בָא-אִישׁ אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה מִיָּבֵישׁ גִּלְעָד אֶל-הַקָּהָֽל׃
And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
וְהָעָם נִחָם לְבִנְיָמִן כִּֽי-עָשָׂה יְהוָה פֶּרֶץ בְּשִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ יְרֻשַּׁת פְּלֵיטָה לְבִנְיָמִן וְלֹֽא-יִמָּחֶה שֵׁבֶט מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נוּכַל לָֽתֵת-לָהֶם נָשִׁים מִבְּנוֹתֵינוּ כִּֽי-נִשְׁבְּעוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אָרוּר נֹתֵן אִשָּׁה לְבִנְיָמִֽן׃
Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
וַיִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִשָּׁם בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּעֵת הַהִיא אִישׁ לְשִׁבְטוֹ וּלְמִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ וַיֵּֽצְאוּ מִשָּׁם אִישׁ לְנַֽחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם אֵין מֶלֶךְ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אִישׁ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינָיו יַֽעֲשֶֽׂה׃
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
יְשַׁלֵּם יְהוָה פָּֽעֳלֵךְ וּתְהִי מַשְׂכֻּרְתֵּךְ שְׁלֵמָה מֵעִם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בָּאת לַֽחֲסוֹת תַּֽחַת-כְּנָפָֽיו׃
The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
וְזֹאת לְפָנִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל עַל-הַגְּאֻלָּה וְעַל-הַתְּמוּרָה לְקַיֵּם כָּל-דָּבָר שָׁלַף אִישׁ נַֽעֲלוֹ וְנָתַן לְרֵעֵהוּ וְזֹאת הַתְּעוּדָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-בַּשַּׁעַר וְהַזְּקֵנִים עֵדִים יִתֵּן יְהוָה אֶֽת-הָאִשָּׁה הַבָּאָה אֶל-בֵּיתֶךָ כְּרָחֵל׀ וּכְלֵאָה אֲשֶׁר בָּנוּ שְׁתֵּיהֶם אֶת-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽעֲשֵׂה-חַיִל בְּאֶפְרָתָה וּקְרָא-שֵׁם בְּבֵית לָֽחֶם׃
And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
וַתֹּאמַרְנָה הַנָּשִׁים אֶֽל-נָעֳמִי בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא הִשְׁבִּית לָךְ גֹּאֵל הַיּוֹם וְיִקָּרֵא שְׁמוֹ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
וַיַּעַן עֵלִי וַיֹּאמֶר לְכִי לְשָׁלוֹם וֵֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יִתֵּן אֶת-שֵׁלָתֵךְ אֲשֶׁר שָׁאַלְתְּ מֵֽעִמּֽוֹ׃
Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
וְהִכָּה בַכִּיּוֹר אוֹ בַדּוּד אוֹ בַקַּלַּחַת אוֹ בַפָּרוּר כֹּל אֲשֶׁר יַֽעֲלֶה הַמַּזְלֵג יִקַּח הַכֹּהֵן בּוֹ כָּכָה יַֽעֲשׂוּ לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַבָּאִים שָׁם בְּשִׁלֹֽה׃
And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
וְעֵלִי זָקֵן מְאֹד וְשָׁמַע אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר יַֽעֲשׂוּן בָּנָיו לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֵת אֲשֶֽׁר-יִשְׁכְּבוּן אֶת-הַנָּשִׁים הַצֹּבְאוֹת פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
וּבָחֹר אֹתוֹ מִכָּל-שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִי לְכֹהֵן לַֽעֲלוֹת עַֽל-מִזְבְּחִי לְהַקְטִיר קְטֹרֶת לָשֵׂאת אֵפוֹד לְפָנָי וָֽאֶתְּנָה לְבֵית אָבִיךָ אֶת-כָּל-אִשֵּׁי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
לָמָּה תִבְעֲטוּ בְּזִבְחִי וּבְמִנְחָתִי אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי מָעוֹן וַתְּכַבֵּד אֶת-בָּנֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי לְהַבְרִֽיאֲכֶם מֵֽרֵאשִׁית כָּל-מִנְחַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְעַמִּֽי׃
Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
לָכֵן נְאֻם-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָמוֹר אָמַרְתִּי בֵּֽיתְךָ וּבֵית אָבִיךָ יִתְהַלְּכוּ לְפָנַי עַד-עוֹלָם וְעַתָּה נְאֻם-יְהוָה חָלִילָה לִּי כִּֽי-מְכַבְּדַי אֲכַבֵּד וּבֹזַי יֵקָֽלּוּ׃
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
וְהִבַּטְתָּ צַר מָעוֹן בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-יֵיטִיב אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹֽא-יִהְיֶה זָקֵן בְּבֵֽיתְךָ כָּל-הַיָּמִֽים׃
And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל הִנֵּה אָֽנֹכִי עֹשֶׂה דָבָר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר כָּל-שֹׁמְעוֹ תְּצִלֶּינָה שְׁתֵּי אָזְנָֽיו׃
And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
וַיֵּדַע כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִדָּן וְעַד-בְּאֵר שָׁבַע כִּי נֶֽאֱמָן שְׁמוּאֵל לְנָבִיא לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
וַיְהִי דְבַר-שְׁמוּאֵל לְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּצֵא יִשְׂרָאֵל לִקְרַאת פְּלִשְׁתִּים לַמִּלְחָמָה וַֽיַּחֲנוּ עַל-הָאֶבֶן הָעֵזֶר וּפְלִשְׁתִּים חָנוּ בַֽאֲפֵֽק׃
And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים לִקְרַאת יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתִּטֹּשׁ הַמִּלְחָמָה וַיִּנָּגֶף יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכּוּ בַמַּֽעֲרָכָה בַּשָּׂדֶה כְּאַרְבַּעַת אֲלָפִים אִֽישׁ׃
And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
וַיָּבֹא הָעָם אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לָמָּה נְגָפָנוּ יְהוָה הַיּוֹם לִפְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים נִקְחָה אֵלֵינוּ מִשִּׁלֹה אֶת-אֲרוֹן בְּרִית יְהוָה וְיָבֹא בְקִרְבֵּנוּ וְיֹֽשִׁעֵנוּ מִכַּף אֹֽיְבֵֽינוּ׃
And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיָּרִעוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל תְּרוּעָה גְדוֹלָה וַתֵּהֹם הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
וַיִּלָּֽחֲמוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּנָּגֶף יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּנֻסוּ אִישׁ לְאֹֽהָלָיו וַתְּהִי הַמַּכָּה גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹד וַיִּפֹּל מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף רַגְלִֽי׃
And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
וַיַּעַן הַֽמְבַשֵּׂר וַיֹּאמֶר נָס יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וְגַם מַגֵּפָה גְדוֹלָה הָֽיְתָה בָעָם וְגַם-שְׁנֵי בָנֶיךָ מֵתוּ חָפְנִי וּפִינְחָס וַֽאֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים נִלְקָֽחָה׃
And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
וַיְהִי כְּהַזְכִּירוֹ׀ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיִּפֹּל מֵֽעַל-הַכִּסֵּא אֲחֹרַנִּית בְּעַד׀ יַד הַשַּׁעַר וַתִּשָּׁבֵר מַפְרַקְתּוֹ וַיָּמֹת כִּֽי-זָקֵן הָאִישׁ וְכָבֵד וְהוּא שָׁפַט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָֽה׃
And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
וַתִּקְרָא לַנַּעַר אִֽי-כָבוֹד לֵאמֹר גָּלָה כָבוֹד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הִלָּקַח אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאֶל-חָמִיהָ וְאִישָֽׁהּ׃
And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
וַתֹּאמֶר גָּלָה כָבוֹד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל כִּי נִלְקַח אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
וַיִּרְאוּ אַנְשֵֽׁי-אַשְׁדּוֹד כִּֽי-כֵן וְאָֽמְרוּ לֹֽא-יֵשֵׁב אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמָּנוּ כִּֽי-קָשְׁתָה יָדוֹ עָלֵינוּ וְעַל דָּגוֹן אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ וַיַּֽאַסְפוּ אֶת-כָּל-סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים אֲלֵיהֶם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ מַֽה-נַּעֲשֶׂה לַֽאֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמְרוּ גַּת יִסֹּב אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּסֵּבּוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
וַֽיְשַׁלְּחוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עֶקְרוֹן וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עֶקְרוֹן וַיִּזְעֲקוּ הָֽעֶקְרֹנִים לֵאמֹר הֵסַבּוּ אֵלַי אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽהֲמִיתֵנִי וְאֶת-עַמִּֽי׃
Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ וַיַּֽאַסְפוּ אֶת-כָּל-סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ שַׁלְּחוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְיָשֹׁב לִמְקוֹמוֹ וְלֹֽא-יָמִית אֹתִי וְאֶת-עַמִּי כִּֽי-הָיְתָה מְהֽוּמַת-מָוֶת בְּכָל-הָעִיר כָּֽבְדָה מְאֹד יַד הָֽאֱלֹהִים שָֽׁם׃
So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אִֽם-מְשַׁלְּחִים אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אַל-תְּשַׁלְּחוּ אֹתוֹ רֵיקָם כִּֽי-הָשֵׁב תָּשִׁיבוּ לוֹ אָשָׁם אָז תֵּרָֽפְאוּ וְנוֹדַע לָכֶם לָמָּה לֹֽא-תָסוּר יָדוֹ מִכֶּֽם׃
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
וַֽעֲשִׂיתֶם צַלְמֵי (עפליכם) טְחֹרֵיכֶם וְצַלְמֵי עַכְבְּרֵיכֶם הַמַּשְׁחִיתִם אֶת-הָאָרֶץ וּנְתַתֶּם לֵֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כָּבוֹד אוּלַי יָקֵל אֶת-יָדוֹ מֵֽעֲלֵיכֶם וּמֵעַל אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וּמֵעַל אַרְצְכֶֽם׃
Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
וַיְהִי מִיּוֹם שֶׁבֶת הָֽאָרוֹן בְּקִרְיַת יְעָרִים וַיִּרְבּוּ הַיָּמִים וַיִּֽהְיוּ עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה וַיִּנָּהוּ כָּל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל אַֽחֲרֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-כָּל-בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אִם-בְּכָל-לְבַבְכֶם אַתֶּם שָׁבִים אֶל-יְהוָה הָסִירוּ אֶת-אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר מִתּֽוֹכְכֶם וְהָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְהָכִינוּ לְבַבְכֶם אֶל-יְהוָה וְעִבְדֻהוּ לְבַדּוֹ וְיַצֵּל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַיָּסִירוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרֹת וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה לְבַדּֽוֹ׃
Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל קִבְצוּ אֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּצְפָּתָה וְאֶתְפַּלֵּל בַּֽעַדְכֶם אֶל-יְהוָֽה׃
And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
וַיִּקָּֽבְצוּ הַמִּצְפָּתָה וַיִּֽשְׁאֲבוּ-מַיִם וַֽיִּשְׁפְּכוּ׀ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיָּצוּמוּ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֹּאמְרוּ שָׁם חָטָאנוּ לַֽיהוָה וַיִּשְׁפֹּט שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃
And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים כִּֽי-הִתְקַבְּצוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּצְפָּתָה וַיַּֽעֲלוּ סַרְנֵֽי-פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל אַל-תַּֽחֲרֵשׁ מִמֶּנּוּ מִזְּעֹק אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְיֹֽשִׁעֵנוּ מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַיִּקַּח שְׁמוּאֵל טְלֵה חָלָב אֶחָד (ויעלה) וַיַּעֲלֵהוּ עוֹלָה כָּלִיל לַֽיהוָה וַיִּזְעַק שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-יְהוָה בְּעַד יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּעֲנֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃
And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
וַיְהִי שְׁמוּאֵל מַֽעֲלֶה הָֽעוֹלָה וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נִגְּשׁוּ לַמִּלְחָמָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּרְעֵם יְהוָה׀ בְּקוֹל-גָּדוֹל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא עַל-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְהֻמֵּם וַיִּנָּֽגְפוּ לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
וַיֵּצְאוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּכּוּם עַד-מִתַּחַת לְבֵית כָּֽר׃
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car.
וַיִּכָּֽנְעוּ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים וְלֹֽא-יָסְפוּ עוֹד לָבוֹא בִּגְבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַתְּהִי יַד-יְהוָה בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים כֹּל יְמֵי שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
וַתָּשֹׁבְנָה הֶֽעָרִים אֲשֶׁר לָֽקְחוּ-פְלִשְׁתִּים מֵאֵת יִשְׂרָאֵל׀ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵֽעֶקְרוֹן וְעַד-גַּת וְאֶת-גְּבוּלָן הִצִּיל יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיְהִי שָׁלוֹם בֵּין יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבֵין הָֽאֱמֹרִֽי׃
And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
וַיִּשְׁפֹּט שְׁמוּאֵל אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּל יְמֵי חַיָּֽיו׃
And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
וְהָלַךְ מִדֵּי שָׁנָה בְּשָׁנָה וְסָבַב בֵּֽית-אֵל וְהַגִּלְגָּל וְהַמִּצְפָּה וְשָׁפַט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵת כָּל-הַמְּקוֹמוֹת הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
וּתְשֻֽׁבָתוֹ הָֽרָמָתָה כִּֽי-שָׁם בֵּיתוֹ וְשָׁם שָׁפָט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽבֶן-שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לַֽיהוָֽה׃
And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר זָקֵן שְׁמוּאֵל וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת-בָּנָיו שֹֽׁפְטִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצוּ כֹּל זִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל הָֽרָמָֽתָה׃
Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁמוּאֵל שְׁמַע בְּקוֹלָם וְהִמְלַכְתָּ לָהֶם מֶלֶךְ וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכוּ אִישׁ לְעִירֽוֹ׃
And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
וְלֽוֹ-הָיָה בֵן וּשְׁמוֹ שָׁאוּל בָּחוּר וָטוֹב וְאֵין אִישׁ מִבְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל טוֹב מִמֶּנּוּ מִשִּׁכְמוֹ וָמַעְלָה גָּבֹהַּ מִכָּל-הָעָֽם׃
And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
לְפָנִים׀ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּֽה-אָמַר הָאִישׁ בְּלֶכְתּוֹ לִדְרוֹשׁ אֱלֹהִים לְכוּ וְנֵֽלְכָה עַד-הָֽרֹאֶה כִּי לַנָּבִיא הַיּוֹם יִקָּרֵא לְפָנִים הָֽרֹאֶֽה׃
(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
כָּעֵת׀ מָחָר אֶשְׁלַח אֵלֶיךָ אִישׁ מֵאֶרֶץ בִּנְיָמִן וּמְשַׁחְתּוֹ לְנָגִיד עַל-עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-עַמִּי מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּים כִּי רָאִיתִי אֶת-עַמִּי כִּי בָּאָה צַֽעֲקָתוֹ אֵלָֽי׃
To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
וְלָֽאֲתֹנוֹת הָאֹֽבְדוֹת לְךָ הַיּוֹם שְׁלֹשֶׁת הַיָּמִים אַל-תָּשֶׂם אֶֽת-לִבְּךָ לָהֶם כִּי נִמְצָאוּ וּלְמִי כָּל-חֶמְדַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲלוֹא לְךָ וּלְכֹל בֵּית אָבִֽיךָ׃
And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
וַיַּעַן שָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר הֲלוֹא בֶן-יְמִינִי אָנֹכִי מִקַּטַנֵּי שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִשְׁפַּחְתִּי הַצְּעִרָה מִכָּֽל-מִשְׁפְּחוֹת שִׁבְטֵי בִנְיָמִן וְלָמָּה דִּבַּרְתָּ אֵלַי כַּדָּבָר הַזֶּֽה׃
And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
וַיֹּאמֶר׀ אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָֽנֹכִי הֶֽעֱלֵיתִי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרָיִם וָֽאַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד מִצְרַיִם וּמִיַּד כָּל-הַמַּמְלָכוֹת הַלֹּֽחֲצִים אֶתְכֶֽם׃
And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
וַיַּקְרֵב שְׁמוּאֵל אֵת כָּל-שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּלָּכֵד שֵׁבֶט בִּנְיָמִֽן׃
And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נָחָשׁ הָֽעַמּוֹנִי בְּזֹאת אֶכְרֹת לָכֶם בִּנְקוֹר לָכֶם כָּל-עֵין יָמִין וְשַׂמְתִּיהָ חֶרְפָּה עַל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו זִקְנֵי יָבֵישׁ הֶרֶף לָנוּ שִׁבְעַת יָמִים וְנִשְׁלְחָה מַלְאָכִים בְּכֹל גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאִם-אֵין מוֹשִׁיעַ אֹתָנוּ וְיָצָאנוּ אֵלֶֽיךָ׃
And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
וַיִּקַּח צֶמֶד בָּקָר וַֽיְנַתְּחֵהוּ וַיְשַׁלַּח בְּכָל-גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיַד הַמַּלְאָכִים׀ לֵאמֹר אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ יֹצֵא אַֽחֲרֵי שָׁאוּל וְאַחַר שְׁמוּאֵל כֹּה יֵֽעָשֶׂה לִבְקָרוֹ וַיִּפֹּל פַּֽחַד-יְהוָה עַל-הָעָם וַיֵּֽצְאוּ כְּאִישׁ אֶחָֽד׃
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
וַֽיִּפְקְדֵם בְּבָזֶק וַיִּֽהְיוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף וְאִישׁ יְהוּדָה שְׁלֹשִׁים אָֽלֶף׃
And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל לֹֽא-יוּמַת אִישׁ בַּיּוֹם הַזֶּה כִּי הַיּוֹם עָשָֽׂה-יְהוָה תְּשׁוּעָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ כָל-הָעָם הַגִּלְגָּל וַיַּמְלִכוּ שָׁם אֶת-שָׁאוּל לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בַּגִּלְגָּל וַיִּזְבְּחוּ-שָׁם זְבָחִים שְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיִּשְׂמַח שָׁם שָׁאוּל וְכָל-אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד-מְאֹֽד׃
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנֵּה שָׁמַעְתִּי בְקֹֽלְכֶם לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר-אֲמַרְתֶּם לִי וָֽאַמְלִיךְ עֲלֵיכֶם מֶֽלֶךְ׃
And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
בֶּן-שָׁנָה שָׁאוּל בְּמָלְכוֹ וּשְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים מָלַךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
וַיִּבְחַר-לוֹ שָׁאוּל שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽהְיוּ עִם-שָׁאוּל אַלְפַּיִם בְּמִכְמָשׂ וּבְהַר בֵּֽית-אֵל וְאֶלֶף הָיוּ עִם-יוֹנָתָן בְּגִבְעַת בִּנְיָמִין וְיֶתֶר הָעָם שִׁלַּח אִישׁ לְאֹֽהָלָֽיו׃
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל שָֽׁמְעוּ לֵאמֹר הִכָּה שָׁאוּל אֶת-נְצִיב פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְגַם-נִבְאַשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּצָּֽעֲקוּ הָעָם אַֽחֲרֵי שָׁאוּל הַגִּלְגָּֽל׃
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.
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נֶֽאֶסְפוּ׀ לְהִלָּחֵם עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף רֶכֶב וְשֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים פָּֽרָשִׁים וְעָם כַּחוֹל אֲשֶׁר עַל-שְׂפַֽת-הַיָּם לָרֹב וַֽיַּעֲלוּ וַיַּֽחֲנוּ בְמִכְמָשׂ קִדְמַת בֵּית אָֽוֶן׃
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 Beth-aven.
וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל רָאוּ כִּי צַר-לוֹ כִּי נִגַּשׂ הָעָם וַיִּֽתְחַבְּאוּ הָעָם בַּמְּעָרוֹת וּבַֽחֲוָחִים וּבַסְּלָעִים וּבַצְּרִחִים וּבַבֹּרֽוֹת׃
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל-שָׁאוּל נִסְכָּלְתָּ לֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֶת-מִצְוַת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר צִוָּךְ כִּי עַתָּה הֵכִין יְהוָה אֶת-מַֽמְלַכְתְּךָ אֶל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
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.
וְחָרָשׁ לֹא יִמָּצֵא בְּכֹל אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי-(אמר) אָמְרוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים פֶּן יַֽעֲשׂוּ הָֽעִבְרִים חֶרֶב אוֹ חֲנִֽית׃
Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים לִלְטוֹשׁ אִישׁ אֶת-מַֽחֲרַשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת-אֵתוֹ וְאֶת-קַרְדֻּמּוֹ וְאֵת מַחֲרֵֽשָׁתֽוֹ׃
But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
וַיַּֽעֲנוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַמַּצָּבָה אֶת-יֽוֹנָתָן׀ וְאֶת-נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ עֲלוּ אֵלֵינוּ וְנוֹדִיעָה אֶתְכֶם דָּבָר וַיֹּאמֶר יֽוֹנָתָן אֶל-נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו עֲלֵה אַֽחֲרַי כִּֽי-נְתָנָם יְהוָה בְּיַד יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל לַֽאֲחִיָּה הַגִּישָׁה אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים כִּֽי-הָיָה אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
וְהָֽעִבְרִים הָיוּ לַפְּלִשְׁתִּים כְּאֶתְמוֹל שִׁלְשׁוֹם אֲשֶׁר עָלוּ עִמָּם בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה סָבִיב וְגַם-הֵמָּה לִֽהְיוֹת עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר עִם-שָׁאוּל וְיֽוֹנָתָֽן׃
Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
וְכֹל אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל הַמִּֽתְחַבְּאִים בְּהַר-אֶפְרַיִם שָֽׁמְעוּ כִּי-נָסוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיַּדְבְּקוּ גַם-הֵמָּה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
וַיּוֹשַׁע יְהוָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהַמִּלְחָמָה עָֽבְרָה אֶת-בֵּית אָֽוֶן׃
So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.
