1 Samuel 13:8-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
8
Now he waited for seven days, until the appointed time that Samuel
had set,
but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him.
9
So Saul said, 'Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings.' And he offered the burnt offering.
10
But as soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him
and
to greet him.
11
But Samuel said, 'What have you done?' And Saul said, 'Since I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come at the appointed time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,
12
I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the
Lord
.’ So I worked up the courage and offered the burnt offering.'
13
But Samuel said to Saul, 'You have acted foolishly! You have not kept the commandment of the
Lord
your God, which He commanded you, for the
Lord
would now have established your kingdom over Israel forever.
14
But now your kingdom shall not endure. The
Lord
has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the
Lord
has appointed him ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the
Lord
commanded you.'
15
Then Samuel set out and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16
Now Saul, his son Jonathan, and the people who were present with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin while the Philistines camped at Michmash.
17
Then raiders came from the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual,

Chapter 13
8
And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
9
And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
10
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
11
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;
12
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.
13
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.
14
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the
Lord
hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the
Lord
hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the
Lord
commanded thee.
15
And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
16
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.
17
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:

Chapter 13
8
He waited seven days for the appointed time that Samuel had set, but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the troops were deserting him.
9
So Saul said, "Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings." Then he offered the burnt offering.
10
Just as he finished offering the burnt offering, Samuel arrived. So Saul went out to greet him,
11
and Samuel asked, "What have you done?" Saul answered, "When I saw that the troops were deserting me and you didn’t come within the appointed days and the Philistines were gathering at Michmash,
12
I thought, ‘The Philistines will now descend on me at Gilgal, and I haven’t sought the
Lord
’s favor.’ So I forced myself to offer the burnt offering."
13
Samuel said to Saul, "You have been foolish. You have not kept the command the
Lord
your God gave you. It was at this time that the
Lord
would have permanently established your reign over Israel,
14
but now your reign will not endure. The
Lord
has found a man after his own heart, and the
Lord
has appointed him as ruler over his people, because you have not done what the
Lord
commanded."
15
Then Samuel went from Gilgal to Gibeah in Benjamin. Saul registered the troops who were with him, about six hundred men.
16
Saul, his son Jonathan, and the troops who were with them were staying in Geba of Benjamin, and the Philistines were camped at Michmash.
17
Raiding parties went out from the Philistine camp in three divisions. One division headed toward the Ophrah road leading to the land of Shual.

Chapter 13
8
Saul waited there seven days for Samuel, as Samuel had instructed him earlier, but Samuel still didn’t come. Saul realized that his troops were rapidly slipping away.
9
So he demanded, 'Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings!' And Saul sacrificed the burnt offering himself.
10
Just as Saul was finishing with the burnt offering, Samuel arrived. Saul went out to meet and welcome him,
11
but Samuel said, 'What is this you have done?' Saul replied, 'I saw my men scattering from me, and you didn’t arrive when you said you would, and the Philistines are at Micmash ready for battle.
12
So I said, ‘The Philistines are ready to march against us at Gilgal, and I haven’t even asked for the
Lord
’s help!’ So I felt compelled to offer the burnt offering myself before you came.'
13
How foolish!' Samuel exclaimed. 'You have not kept the command the
Lord
your God gave you. Had you kept it, the
Lord
would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.
14
But now your kingdom must end, for the
Lord
has sought out a man after his own heart. The
Lord
has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the
Lord
’s command.'
15
Samuel then left Gilgal and went on his way, but the rest of the troops went with Saul to meet the army. They went up from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin. When Saul counted the men who were still with him, he found only 600 were left!
16
Saul and Jonathan and the troops with them were staying at Geba in the land of Benjamin. The Philistines set up their camp at Micmash.
17
Three raiding parties soon left the camp of the Philistines. One went north toward Ophrah in the land of Shual,

And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the command of the

And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal. The rest of the people went up after Saul to meet the army; they went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

And Saul and Jonathan his son and the people who were present with them stayed in Geba of Benjamin, but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

He waited seven days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul’s men began to scatter.
9
So he said, "Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings." And Saul offered up the burnt offering.
10
Just as he finished making the offering, Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to greet him.
11
"What have you done?" asked Samuel. Saul replied, "When I saw that the men were scattering, and that you did not come at the set time, and that the Philistines were assembling at Mikmash,
12
I thought, ‘Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not sought the

"You have done a foolish thing," Samuel said. "You have not kept the command the
Lord
your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time.
14
But now your kingdom will not endure; the
Lord
has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the

Then Samuel left Gilgal and went up to Gibeah in Benjamin, and Saul counted the men who were with him. They numbered about six hundred.

9
So Saul said, “Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me.” And he offered the burnt offering.
10
Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11
And Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and

you did not come within the days appointed, and
that

Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people present with him, about six hundred men.

Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

Then raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned onto the road to Ophrah, to the land of Shual,
