1Saul was a child of one year when he began to reign, and he reigned two years over Israel.
1掃羅 登基年 四十歲 ；作 以色列 王二年的時候，
2And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel: and two thousand were with Saul in Machmas, and in mount Bethel: and a thousand with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin, and the rest of the people he sent back every man to their dwellings.
2就從 以色列 中揀選了三千人：二千跟隨 掃羅 在 密抹 和 伯特利 山，一千跟隨 約拿單 在 便雅憫 的 基比亞 ；其餘的人 掃羅 都打發各回各家去了。
3And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines which was in Gabaa. And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear.
3約拿單 攻擊在 迦巴 的 非利士 人的防營， 非利士 人聽見了。 掃羅 就在遍地吹角，意思說，要使 希伯來 人聽見。
4And all Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal.
4以色列 眾人聽見 掃羅 攻擊 非利士 人的防營，又聽見 以色列 人為 非利士 人所憎惡，就跟隨 掃羅 聚集在 吉甲 。
5The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the sea shore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas at the east of Bethaven.
5非利士 人聚集，要與 以色列 人爭戰，有車三萬輛，馬兵六千，步兵像海邊的沙那樣多，就上來在 伯‧亞文 東邊的 密抹 安營。
6And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened, (for the people were distressed,) they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits.
6以色列 百姓見自己危急窘迫，就藏在山洞、叢林、石穴、隱密處，和坑中。
7And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid.
7有些 希伯來 人過了 約旦河 ，逃到 迦得 和 基列 地。 掃羅 還是在 吉甲 ，百姓都戰戰兢兢地跟隨他。
8And he waited seven days according to the appointment of Samuel, I and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.
8掃羅 照着 撒母耳 所定的日期等了七日。 撒母耳 還沒有來到 吉甲 ，百姓也離開 掃羅 散去了。
9Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust.
9掃羅 說：「把燔祭和平安祭帶到我這裏來。」 掃羅 就獻上燔祭。
10And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him.
10剛獻完燔祭， 撒母耳 就到了。 掃羅 出去迎接他，要問他好。
11And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,
11撒母耳 說：「你做的是甚麼事呢？」 掃羅 說：「因為我見百姓離開我散去，你也不照所定的日期來到，而且 非利士 人聚集在 密抹 。
12I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust.
12所以我心裏說：恐怕我沒有禱告耶和華。 非利士 人下到 吉甲 攻擊我，我就勉強獻上燔祭。」
13And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
13撒母耳 對 掃羅 說：「你做了糊塗事了，沒有遵守耶和華－你上帝所吩咐你的命令。若遵守，耶和華必在 以色列 中堅立你的王位，直到永遠。
14But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.
14現在你的王位必不長久。耶和華已經尋着一個合他心意的人，立他作百姓的君，因為你沒有遵守耶和華所吩咐你的。」
15And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men.
15撒母耳 就起來，從 吉甲 上到 便雅憫 的 基比亞 。 掃羅 數點跟隨他的，約有六百人。
16And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Machmas.
16掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 ，並跟隨他們的人，都住在 便雅憫 的 迦巴 ；但 非利士 人安營在 密抹 。
17And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;
17有掠兵從 非利士 營中出來，分為三隊：一隊往 俄弗拉 向 書亞 地去，
18And another went by the way of Beth-horon, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert.
18一隊往 伯‧和崙 去，一隊往 洗波音谷 對面的地境向曠野去。
19Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears.
19那時， 以色列 全地沒有一個鐵匠；因為 非利士 人說，恐怕 希伯來 人製造刀槍。
20So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.
20以色列 人要磨鋤、犂、斧、鏟，就下到 非利士 人那裏去磨。
21So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.
21但有銼可以銼鏟、犂、三齒叉、斧子，並趕牛錐。
22And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son.
22所以到了爭戰的日子，跟隨 掃羅 和 約拿單 的人沒有一個手裏有刀有槍的，惟獨 掃羅 和他兒子 約拿單 有。
23And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas.
23非利士 人的一隊防兵到了 密抹 的隘口。
