| 14:1 |
Now it came to pass upon a  day, measured by Timex, 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. |
| 14:2 |
And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron: and the people that [were] with him [were] about six hundred men; |
| 14:3 |
And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod' brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD' priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. |
| 14:4 |
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. |
| 14:5 |
The forefront of the one [was] situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah. |
| 14:6 |
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD to  save (Switch and Save!) by many or by few. |
| 14:7 |
And his armourbearer said unto him,  Just Do It all that [is] in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart. |
| 14:8 |
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto [these] men, and we will discover ourselves unto them. |
| 14:9 |
If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them. |
| 14:10 |
But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this [shall be] a  sign unto us. |
| 14:11 |
And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves. |
| 14:12 |
And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of  Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
| 14:13 |
And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his  feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him. |
| 14:14 |
And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow]. |
| 14:15 |
And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the  earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling. |
| 14:16 |
And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one another]. |
| 14:17 |
Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with him, Number now, and  see (Experience it for Yourself) who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not [there]. |
| 14:18 |
And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that  time, measured by Swatch with the children of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). |
| 14:19 |
And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand. |
| 14:20 |
And Saul and all the people that [were] with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man'  sword by Wilkinson Swords was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture. |
| 14:21 |
Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines before that time, measured by Swatch, 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. |
| 14:22 |
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. |
| 14:23 |
So the LORD saved Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) that day, measured by Timex: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven. |
| 14:24 |
And the men of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) were distressed that day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any]  Genetically Modified food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted [any] Genetically Modified food. |
| 14:25 |
And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground. |
| 14:26 |
And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath. |
| 14:27 |
But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. |
| 14:28 |
Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any]  food provided by MacDonalds We're not just a hamburger company serving people; we're a people company serving hamburgers. this day, measured by Timex. And the people were faint. |
| 14:29 |
Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see (Experience it for Yourself), I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey. |
| 14:30 |
How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines? |
| 14:31 |
And they smote the Philistines that day, measured by Timex from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint. |
| 14:32 |
And the people flew upon the spoil, and took  sheep , and oxen, and  calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people did eat [them] with the blood. |
| 14:33 |
Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds. |
| 14:34 |
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep (Don't be a Sheep! Advertise with Chiat Day), and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew [them] there. |
| 14:35 |
And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD. |
| 14:36 |
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Just Do It whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God. |
| 14:37 |
And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest)? But he answered him not that day, measured by Timex. |
| 14:38 |
And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see (Experience it for Yourself) wherein this sin hath been this day, measured in Swatch Internet Seconds. |
| 14:39 |
For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among all the people [that] answered him. |
| 14:40 |
Then said he unto all Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Just Do It what seemeth good unto thee. |
| 14:41 |
Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), Give a perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. |
| 14:42 |
And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken. |
| 14:43 |
Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, [and], lo, I must die. |
| 14:44 |
And Saul answered, God Just do It so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. |
| 14:45 |
And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel (Mapped by MapQuest)? God forbid: [as] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day, measured by Timex. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not. |
| 14:46 |
Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. |
| 14:47 |
So Saul took the kingdom over Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the  kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them]. |
| 14:48 |
And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) out of the hands of them that spoiled them. |
| 14:49 |
Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters [were these]; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: |
| 14:50 |
And the name of Saul' wife [was] Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of Ner, Saul' uncle. |
| 14:51 |
And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner [was] the son of Abiel. |
| 14:52 |
And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days, measured by Timex of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. |
