Every verse with Sea of the Philistines
Verses 101–200 of 578 (page 2 of 6)
וּגְבוּל קֵדְמָה יָם הַמֶּלַח עַד-קְצֵה הַיַּרְדֵּן וּגְבוּל לִפְאַת צָפוֹנָה מִלְּשׁוֹן הַיָּם מִקְצֵה הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃
And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל גֵּי בֶן-הִנֹּם אֶל-כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי מִנֶּגֶב הִיא יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל אֶל-רֹאשׁ הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי גֵֽי-הִנֹּם יָמָּה אֲשֶׁר בִּקְצֵה עֵֽמֶק-רְפָאִים צָפֽוֹנָה׃
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
וְנָסַב הַגְּבוּל מִבַּֽעֲלָה יָמָּה אֶל-הַר שֵׂעִיר וְעָבַר אֶל-כֶּתֶף הַר-יְעָרִים מִצָּפוֹנָה הִיא כְסָלוֹן וְיָרַד בֵּֽית-שֶׁמֶשׁ וְעָבַר תִּמְנָֽה׃
And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
וְיָצָא הַגְּבוּל אֶל-כֶּתֶף עֶקְרוֹן צָפוֹנָה וְתָאַר הַגְּבוּל שִׁכְּרוֹנָה וְעָבַר הַר-הַֽבַּעֲלָה וְיָצָא יַבְנְאֵל וְהָיוּ תֹּֽצְאוֹת הַגְּבוּל יָֽמָּה׃
And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
וּגְבוּל יָם הַיָּמָּה הַגָּדוֹל וּגְבוּל זֶה גְּבוּל בְּנֵֽי-יְהוּדָה סָבִיב לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃
And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
מֵֽעֶקְרוֹן וָיָמָּה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר-עַל-יַד אַשְׁדּוֹד וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃
From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages:
אַשְׁדּוֹד בְּנוֹתֶיהָ וַֽחֲצֵרֶיהָ עַזָּה בְּנוֹתֶיהָ וַֽחֲצֵרֶיהָ עַד-נַחַל מִצְרָיִם וְהַיָּם (הגבול) הַגָּדוֹל וּגְבֽוּל׃
Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof:
וְיָֽרַד-יָמָּה אֶל-גְּבוּל הַיַּפְלֵטִי עַד גְּבוּל בֵּית-חוֹרֹן תַּחְתּוֹן וְעַד-גָּזֶר וְהָיוּ (תצאתו) תֹצְאֹתָיו יָֽמָּה׃
And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
וְיָצָא הַגְּבוּל הַיָּמָּה הַֽמִּכְמְתָת מִצָּפוֹן וְנָסַב הַגְּבוּל מִזְרָחָה תַּֽאֲנַת שִׁלֹה וְעָבַר אוֹתוֹ מִמִּזְרַח יָנֽוֹחָה׃
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
מִתַּפּוּחַ יֵלֵךְ הַגְּבוּל יָמָּה נַחַל קָנָה וְהָיוּ תֹֽצְאֹתָיו הַיָּמָּה זֹאת נַֽחֲלַת מַטֵּה בְנֵֽי-אֶפְרַיִם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם׃
The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
וְיָרַד הַגְּבוּל נַחַל קָנָה נֶגְבָּה לַנַּחַל עָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לְאֶפְרַיִם בְּתוֹךְ עָרֵי מְנַשֶּׁה וּגְבוּל מְנַשֶּׁה מִצְּפוֹן לַנַּחַל וַיְהִי תֹֽצְאֹתָיו הַיָּֽמָּה׃
And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
נֶגְבָּה לְאֶפְרַיִם וְצָפוֹנָה לִמְנַשֶּׁה וַיְהִי הַיָּם גְּבוּלוֹ וּבְאָשֵׁר יִפְגְּעוּן מִצָּפוֹן וּבְיִשָּׂשכָר מִמִּזְרָֽח׃
Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
וַיְהִי לָהֶם הַגְּבוּל לִפְאַת צָפוֹנָה מִן-הַיַּרְדֵּן וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל אֶל-כֶּתֶף יְרִיחוֹ מִצָּפוֹן וְעָלָה בָהָר יָמָּה (והיה) וְהָיוּ תֹּֽצְאֹתָיו מִדְבַּרָה בֵּית אָֽוֶן׃
And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
וְתָאַר הַגְּבוּל וְנָסַב לִפְאַת-יָם נֶגְבָּה מִן-הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי בֵית-חֹרוֹן נֶגְבָּה (והיה) וְהָיוּ תֹֽצְאֹתָיו אֶל-קִרְיַת-בַּעַל הִיא קִרְיַת יְעָרִים עִיר בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה זֹאת פְּאַת-יָֽם׃
And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
וּפְאַת-נֶגְבָּה מִקְצֵה קִרְיַת יְעָרִים וְיָצָא הַגְּבוּל יָמָּה וְיָצָא אֶל-מַעְיַן מֵי נֶפְתּֽוֹחַ׃
And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
וְעָבַר הַגְּבוּל אֶל-כֶּתֶף בֵּית-חָגְלָה צָפוֹנָה (והיה) וְהָיוּ׀ (תצאותיו) תֹּצְאוֹת הַגְּבוּל אֶל-לְשׁוֹן יָם-הַמֶּלַח צָפוֹנָה אֶל-קְצֵה הַיַּרְדֵּן נֶגְבָּה זֶה גְּבוּל נֶֽגֶב׃
And the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
וְעָלָה גְבוּלָם׀ לַיָּמָּה וּמַרְעֲלָה וּפָגַע בְּדַבָּשֶׁת וּפָגַע אֶל-הַנַּחַל אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי יָקְנְעָֽם׃
And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;
וְאַֽלַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַמְעָד וּמִשְׁאָל וּפָגַע בְּכַרְמֶל הַיָּמָּה וּבְשִׁיחוֹר לִבְנָֽת׃
And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath;
וְשָׁב הַגְּבוּל הָֽרָמָה וְעַד-עִיר מִבְצַר-צֹר וְשָׁב הַגְּבוּל חֹסָה (ויהיו) וְהָיוּ תֹֽצְאֹתָיו הַיָּמָּה מֵחֶבֶל אַכְזִֽיבָה׃
And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:
וְשָׁב הַגְּבוּל יָמָּה אַזְנוֹת תָּבוֹר וְיָצָא מִשָּׁם חוּקֹקָה וּפָגַע בִּזְבֻלוּן מִנֶּגֶב וּבְאָשֵׁר פָּגַע מִיָּם וּבִיהוּדָה הַיַּרְדֵּן מִזְרַח הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
And then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.
וְלַֽחֲצִי׀ שֵׁבֶט הַֽמְנַשֶּׁה נָתַן מֹשֶׁה בַּבָּשָׁן וּלְחֶצְיוֹ נָתַן יְהוֹשֻׁעַ עִם-אֲחֵיהֶם (מעבר) בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן יָמָּה וְגַם כִּי שִׁלְּחָם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-אָֽהֳלֵיהֶם וַיְבָרֲכֵֽם׃
Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
רְאוּ הִפַּלְתִּי לָכֶם אֶֽת-הַגּוֹיִם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּנַֽחֲלָה לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶם מִן-הַיַּרְדֵּן וְכָל-הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הִכְרַתִּי וְהַיָּם הַגָּדוֹל מְבוֹא הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
וָֽאוֹצִיא אֶת-אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וַתָּבֹאוּ הַיָּמָּה וַיִּרְדְּפוּ מִצְרַיִם אַֽחֲרֵי אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם בְּרֶכֶב וּבְפָֽרָשִׁים יַם-סֽוּף׃
And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל-יְהוָה וַיָּשֶׂם מַֽאֲפֵל בֵּֽינֵיכֶם׀ וּבֵין הַמִּצְרִים וַיָּבֵא עָלָיו אֶת-הַיָּם וַיְכַסֵּהוּ וַתִּרְאֶינָה עֵֽינֵיכֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר-עָשִׂיתִי בְּמִצְרָיִם וַתֵּֽשְׁבוּ בַמִּדְבָּר יָמִים רַבִּֽים׃
And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
חֲמֵשֶׁת׀ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וְכָל-הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַצִּידֹנִי וְהַחִוִּי יֹשֵׁב הַר הַלְּבָנוֹן מֵהַר בַּעַל חֶרְמוֹן עַד לְבוֹא חֲמָֽת׃
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
וְאַֽחֲרָיו הָיָה שַׁמְגַּר בֶּן-עֲנָת וַיַּךְ אֶת-פְּלִשְׁתִּים שֵֽׁשׁ-מֵאוֹת אִישׁ בְּמַלְמַד הַבָּקָר וַיּוֹשַׁע גַּם-הוּא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
גִּלְעָד בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן שָׁכֵן וְדָן לָמָּה יָגוּר אֳנִיּוֹת אָשֵׁר יָשַׁב לְחוֹף יַמִּים וְעַל מִפְרָצָיו יִשְׁכּֽוֹן׃
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
וּמִדְיָן וַֽעֲמָלֵק וְכָל-בְּנֵי-קֶדֶם נֹֽפְלִים בָּעֵמֶק כָּֽאַרְבֶּה לָרֹב וְלִגְמַלֵּיהֶם אֵין מִסְפָּר כַּחוֹל שֶֽׁעַל-שְׂפַת הַיָּם לָרֹֽב׃
And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
וַיֹּסִיפוּ׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת-הָֽעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי אֲרָם וְאֶת-אֱלֹהֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת׀ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי-עַמּוֹן וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-יְהוָה וְלֹא עֲבָדֽוּהוּ׃
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
וַיִּֽחַר-אַף יְהוָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּמְכְּרֵם בְּיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַד בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲלֹא מִמִּצְרַיִם וּמִן-הָאֱמֹרִי וּמִן-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִן-פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
כִּי בַּֽעֲלוֹתָם מִמִּצְרָיִם וַיֵּלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּדְבָּר עַד-יַם-סוּף וַיָּבֹא קָדֵֽשָׁה׃
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
וַיֹּסִיפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָֽה׃
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
כִּי הִנָּךְ הָרָה וְיֹלַדְתְּ בֵּן וּמוֹרָה לֹֽא-יַעֲלֶה עַל-רֹאשׁוֹ כִּֽי-נְזִיר אֱלֹהִים יִֽהְיֶה הַנַּעַר מִן-הַבָּטֶן וְהוּא יָחֵל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִיַּד פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
וַיֵּרֶד שִׁמְשׁוֹן תִּמְנָתָה וַיַּרְא אִשָּׁה בְּתִמְנָתָה מִבְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
וַיַּעַל וַיַּגֵּד לְאָבִיו וּלְאִמּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אִשָּׁה רָאִיתִי בְתִמְנָתָה מִבְּנוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְעַתָּה קְחוּ-אוֹתָהּ לִּי לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ הַאֵין בִּבְנוֹת אַחֶיךָ וּבְכָל-עַמִּי אִשָּׁה כִּֽי-אַתָּה הוֹלֵךְ לָקַחַת אִשָּׁה מִפְּלִשְׁתִּים הָֽעֲרֵלִים וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְשׁוֹן אֶל-אָבִיו אוֹתָהּ קַֽח-לִי כִּי-הִיא יָֽשְׁרָה בְעֵינָֽי׃
Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
וְאָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ לֹא יָֽדְעוּ כִּי מֵֽיְהוָה הִיא כִּֽי-תֹאֲנָה הֽוּא-מְבַקֵּשׁ מִפְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבָעֵת הַהִיא פְּלִשְׁתִּים מֹֽשְׁלִים בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְשׁוֹן נִקֵּיתִי הַפַּעַם מִפְּלִשְׁתִּים כִּֽי-עֹשֶׂה אֲנִי עִמָּם רָעָֽה׃
And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
וַיַּבְעֶר-אֵשׁ בַּלַּפִּידִים וַיְשַׁלַּח בְּקָמוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּבְעֵר מִגָּדִישׁ וְעַד-קָמָה וְעַד-כֶּרֶם זָֽיִת׃
And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים מִי עָשָׂה זֹאת וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ שִׁמְשׁוֹן חֲתַן הַתִּמְנִי כִּי לָקַח אֶת-אִשְׁתּוֹ וַֽיִּתְּנָהּ לְמֵֽרֵעֵהוּ וַיַּֽעֲלוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּשְׂרְפוּ אוֹתָהּ וְאֶת-אָבִיהָ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בִּֽיהוּדָה וַיִּנָּֽטְשׁוּ בַּלֶּֽחִי׃
Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ מִֽיהוּדָה אֶל-סְעִיף סֶלַע עֵיטָם וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְשִׁמְשׁוֹן הֲלֹא יָדַעְתָּ כִּֽי-מֹשְׁלִים בָּנוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּמַה-זֹּאת עָשִׂיתָ לָּנוּ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ לִי כֵּן עָשִׂיתִי לָהֶֽם׃
Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ לֶֽאֱסָרְךָ יָרַדְנוּ לְתִתְּךָ בְּיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְשׁוֹן הִשָּֽׁבְעוּ לִי פֶּֽן-תִּפְגְּעוּן בִּי אַתֶּֽם׃
And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
הוּא-בָא עַד-לֶחִי וּפְלִשְׁתִּים הֵרִיעוּ לִקְרָאתוֹ וַתִּצְלַח עָלָיו רוּחַ יְהוָה וַתִּֽהְיֶינָה הָֽעֲבֹתִים אֲשֶׁר עַל-זְרֽוֹעוֹתָיו כַּפִּשְׁתִּים אֲשֶׁר בָּֽעֲרוּ בָאֵשׁ וַיִּמַּסּוּ אֱסוּרָיו מֵעַל יָדָֽיו׃
And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּימֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָֽה׃
And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ אֵלֶיהָ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֹּאמְרוּ לָהּ פַּתִּי אוֹתוֹ וּרְאִי בַּמֶּה כֹּחוֹ גָדוֹל וּבַמֶּה נוּכַל לוֹ וַֽאֲסַרְנוּהוּ לְעַנּוֹתוֹ וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ נִתַּן-לָךְ אִישׁ אֶלֶף וּמֵאָה כָּֽסֶף׃
And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ-לָהּ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים שִׁבְעָה יְתָרִים לַחִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-חֹרָבוּ וַתַּֽאַסְרֵהוּ בָּהֶֽם׃
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
וְהָֽאֹרֵב יֹשֵׁב לָהּ בַּחֶדֶר וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פְּלִשְׁתִּים עָלֶיךָ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וַיְנַתֵּק אֶת-הַיְתָרִים כַּֽאֲשֶׁר יִנָּתֵק פְּתִֽיל-הַנְּעֹרֶת בַּֽהֲרִיחוֹ אֵשׁ וְלֹא נוֹדַע כֹּחֽוֹ׃
Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
וַתִּקַּח דְּלִילָה עֲבֹתִים חֲדָשִׁים וַתַּֽאַסְרֵהוּ בָהֶם וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פְּלִשְׁתִּים עָלֶיךָ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וְהָֽאֹרֵב יֹשֵׁב בֶּחָדֶר וַֽיְנַתְּקֵם מֵעַל זְרֹֽעֹתָיו כַּחֽוּט׃
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
וַתִּתְקַע בַּיָּתֵד וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו פְּלִשְׁתִּים עָלֶיךָ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וַיִּיקַץ מִשְּׁנָתוֹ וַיִּסַּע אֶת-הַיְתַד הָאֶרֶג וְאֶת-הַמַּסָּֽכֶת׃
And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
וַתֵּרֶא דְּלִילָה כִּֽי-הִגִּיד לָהּ אֶת-כָּל-לִבּוֹ וַתִּשְׁלַח וַתִּקְרָא לְסַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים לֵאמֹר עֲלוּ הַפַּעַם כִּֽי-הִגִּיד (לה) לִי אֶת-כָּל-לִבּוֹ וְעָלוּ אֵלֶיהָ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּֽעֲלוּ הַכֶּסֶף בְּיָדָֽם׃
And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
וַתֹּאמֶר פְּלִשְׁתִּים עָלֶיךָ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וַיִּקַץ מִשְּׁנָתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵצֵא כְּפַעַם בְּפַעַם וְאִנָּעֵר וְהוּא לֹא יָדַע כִּי יְהוָה סָר מֵֽעָלָֽיו׃
And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
וַיֹּֽאחֲזוּהוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיְנַקְּרוּ אֶת-עֵינָיו וַיּוֹרִידוּ אוֹתוֹ עַזָּתָה וַיַּֽאַסְרוּהוּ בַּֽנְחֻשְׁתַּיִם וַיְהִי טוֹחֵן בְּבֵית (האסירים) הָאֲסוּרִֽים׃
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
וְסַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים נֶֽאֱסְפוּ לִזְבֹּחַ זֶֽבַח-גָּדוֹל לְדָגוֹן אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וּלְשִׂמְחָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ נָתַן אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּיָדֵנוּ אֵת שִׁמְשׁוֹן אֽוֹיְבֵֽנוּ׃
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
וְהַבַּיִת מָלֵא הָֽאֲנָשִׁים וְהַנָּשִׁים וְשָׁמָּה כֹּל סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וְעַל-הַגָּג כִּשְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה הָֽרֹאִים בִּשְׂחוֹק שִׁמְשֽׁוֹן׃
Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
וַיִּקְרָא שִׁמְשׁוֹן אֶל-יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהוִֹה זָכְרֵנִי נָא וְחַזְּקֵנִי נָא אַךְ הַפַּעַם הַזֶּה הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְאִנָּֽקְמָה נְקַם-אַחַת מִשְּׁתֵי עֵינַי מִפְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְשׁוֹן תָּמוֹת נַפְשִׁי עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיֵּט בְּכֹחַ וַיִּפֹּל הַבַּיִת עַל-הַסְּרָנִים וְעַל-כָּל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר-בּוֹ וַיִּֽהְיוּ הַמֵּתִים אֲשֶׁר הֵמִית בְּמוֹתוֹ רַבִּים מֵֽאֲשֶׁר הֵמִית בְּחַיָּֽיו׃
And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
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.
וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-קוֹל הַתְּרוּעָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ מֶה קוֹל הַתְּרוּעָה הַגְּדוֹלָה הַזֹּאת בְּמַֽחֲנֵה הָֽעִבְרִים וַיֵּדְעוּ כִּי אֲרוֹן יְהוָה בָּא אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶֽה׃
And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
וַיִּֽרְאוּ הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים כִּי אָֽמְרוּ בָּא אֱלֹהִים אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אוֹי לָנוּ כִּי לֹא הָֽיְתָה כָּזֹאת אֶתְמוֹל שִׁלְשֹֽׁם׃
And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
הִֽתְחַזְּקוּ וִֽהְיוּ לַֽאֲנָשִׁים פְּלִשְׁתִּים פֶּן תַּֽעַבְדוּ לָֽעִבְרִים כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָֽבְדוּ לָכֶם וִֽהְיִיתֶם לַֽאֲנָשִׁים וְנִלְחַמְתֶּֽם׃
Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
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.
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים לָֽקְחוּ אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיְבִאֻהוּ מֵאֶבֶן הָעֵזֶר אַשְׁדּֽוֹדָה׃
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben-ezer unto Ashdod.
וַיִּקְחוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתוֹ בֵּית דָּגוֹן וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתוֹ אֵצֶל דָּגֽוֹן׃
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
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.
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.
וַיְהִי אֲרוֹן-יְהוָה בִּשְׂדֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים שִׁבְעָה חֳדָשִֽׁים׃
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
וַיִּקְרְאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים לַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְלַקֹּֽסְמִים לֵאמֹר מַֽה-נַּעֲשֶׂה לַֽאֲרוֹן יְהוָה הֽוֹדִעֻנוּ בַּמֶּה נְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ מָה הָֽאָשָׁם אֲשֶׁר נָשִׁיב לוֹ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ מִסְפַּר סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים חֲמִשָּׁה (עפלי) טְחֹרֵי זָהָב וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה עַכְבְּרֵי זָהָב כִּֽי-מַגֵּפָה אַחַת לְכֻלָּם וּלְסַרְנֵיכֶֽם׃
Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
וַיִשַּׁרְנָה הַפָּרוֹת בַּדֶּרֶךְ עַל-דֶּרֶךְ בֵּית שֶׁמֶשׁ בִּמְסִלָּה אַחַת הָֽלְכוּ הָלֹךְ וְגָעוֹ וְלֹא-סָרוּ יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול וְסַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים הֹֽלְכִים אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם עַד-גְּבוּל בֵּית שָֽׁמֶשׁ׃
And the kine took the straight way to the way of Beth-shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh.
וַֽחֲמִשָּׁה סַרְנֵֽי-פְלִשְׁתִּים רָאוּ וַיָּשֻׁבוּ עֶקְרוֹן בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃
And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
וְאֵלֶּה טְחֹרֵי הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיבוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אָשָׁם לַֽיהוָה לְאַשְׁדּוֹד אֶחָד לְעַזָּה אֶחָד לְאַשְׁקְלוֹן אֶחָד לְגַת אֶחָד לְעֶקְרוֹן אֶחָֽד׃
And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
וְעַכְבְּרֵי הַזָּהָב מִסְפַּר כָּל-עָרֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים לַֽחֲמֵשֶׁת הַסְּרָנִים מֵעִיר מִבְצָר וְעַד כֹּפֶר הַפְּרָזִי וְעַד׀ אָבֵל הַגְּדוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר הִנִּיחוּ עָלֶיהָ אֵת אֲרוֹן יְהוָה עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה בִּשְׂדֵה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֵּֽית-הַשִּׁמְשִֽׁי׃
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite.
וַֽיִּשְׁלְחוּ מַלְאָכִים אֶל-יֽוֹשְׁבֵי קִרְיַת-יְעָרִים לֵאמֹר הֵשִׁבוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה רְדוּ הַֽעֲלוּ אֹתוֹ אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
אַחַר כֵּן תָּבוֹא גִּבְעַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-שָׁם נְצִבֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וִיהִי כְבֹֽאֲךָ שָׁם הָעִיר וּפָֽגַעְתָּ חֶבֶל נְבִאִים יֹֽרְדִים מֵֽהַבָּמָה וְלִפְנֵיהֶם נֵבֶל וְתֹף וְחָלִיל וְכִנּוֹר וְהֵמָּה מִֽתְנַבְּאִֽים׃
After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
וַֽיִּשְׁכְּחוּ אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיִּמְכֹּר אֹתָם בְּיַד סִֽיסְרָא שַׂר-צְבָא חָצוֹר וּבְיַד-פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַד מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּ בָּֽם׃
And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
וַיַּךְ יֽוֹנָתָן אֵת נְצִיב פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֲשֶׁר בְּגֶבַע וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְשָׁאוּל תָּקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ לֵאמֹר יִשְׁמְעוּ הָֽעִבְרִֽים׃
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.
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.
וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל מֶה עָשִׂיתָ וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל כִּֽי-רָאִיתִי כִֽי-נָפַץ הָעָם מֵֽעָלַי וְאַתָּה לֹֽא-בָאתָ לְמוֹעֵד הַיָּמִים וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נֶֽאֱסָפִים מִכְמָֽשׂ׃
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;
וָֽאֹמַר עַתָּה יֵֽרְדוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֵלַי הַגִּלְגָּל וּפְנֵי יְהוָה לֹא חִלִּיתִי וָֽאֶתְאַפַּק וָאַֽעֲלֶה הָֽעֹלָֽה׃
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.
וְשָׁאוּל וְיֽוֹנָתָן בְּנוֹ וְהָעָם הַנִּמְצָא עִמָּם יֹֽשְׁבִים בְּגֶבַע בִּנְיָמִן וּפְלִשְׁתִּים חָנוּ בְמִכְמָֽשׂ׃
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.
וַיֵּצֵא הַמַּשְׁחִית מִמַּֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים שְׁלֹשָׁה רָאשִׁים הָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה אֶל-דֶּרֶךְ עָפְרָה אֶל-אֶרֶץ שׁוּעָֽל׃
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:
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.
וַיֵּצֵא מַצַּב פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֶֽל-מַעֲבַר מִכְמָֽשׂ׃
And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וַיֹּאמֶר יֽוֹנָתָן בֶּן-שָׁאוּל אֶל-הַנַּעַר נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו לְכָה וְנַעְבְּרָה אֶל-מַצַּב פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֲשֶׁר מֵעֵבֶר הַלָּז וּלְאָבִיו לֹא הִגִּֽיד׃
Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
וּבֵין הַֽמַּעְבְּרוֹת אֲשֶׁר בִּקֵּשׁ יֽוֹנָתָן לַֽעֲבֹר עַל-מַצַּב פְּלִשְׁתִּים שֵׁן-הַסֶּלַע מֵֽהָעֵבֶר מִזֶּה וְשֵׁן-הַסֶּלַע מֵֽהָעֵבֶר מִזֶּה וְשֵׁם הָֽאֶחָד בּוֹצֵץ וְשֵׁם הָֽאֶחָד סֶֽנֶּה׃
And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
