09:014:034 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among
the people, and say
unto
them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man
his
sheep,
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.
09:014:035 And Saul built an altar unto the lord:
the same was the first
altar
that he built unto the lord.
09:014:036 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, Do whatsoever seemeth
good unto
thee.
Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto
God.
09:014:037 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I
go down after the
Philistines?
wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel?
But
he answered him not that day.
09:014:038 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all
the chief of the
people:
and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
09:014:039 For, as the lord liveth, which saveth
Israel, though it be in
Jonathan
my son, he shall surely die. But there was not
a man
among
all the people that answered him.
09:014:040 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on
one side, and I and
Jonathan
my son will be on the other side. And the people
said
unto
Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
09:014:041 Therefore Saul said unto the lord
God of Israel, Give a
perfect
lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but
the people
escaped.
09:014:042 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and
Jonathan my son. And
Jonathan
was taken.
09:014:043 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.
09:014:044 And Saul answered, God do so and more also:
for thou shalt
surely
die, Jonathan.
09:014:045 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan
die, who hath
wrought
this great salvation in Israel? 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. So the
people
rescued
Jonathan, that he died not.
09:014:046 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines:
and the
Philistines
went to their own place.
09:014:047 So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, 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.
