1하루는 사울의 아들 요나단이 자기 병기를 든 소년에게 이르되 우리가 건너편 블레셋 사람의 부대에게로 건너가자 하고 그 아비에게는 고하지 아니하였더라 2사울이 기브아 변경 미그론에 있는 석류나무 아래 머물렀고 함께한 백성은 육백 명 가량이며 3아히야는 에봇을 입고 거기 있었으니 그는 이가봇의 형제 아히둡의 아들이요 비느하스의 손자요 실로에서 여호와의 제사장이 되었던 엘리의 증손이었더라 백성은 요나단의 간 줄을 알지 못하니라 4요나단이 블레셋 사람의 부대에게로 건너가려 하는 어귀 사이 이편에도 험한 바위가 있고 저편에도 험한 바위가 있는데 하나의 이름은 보세스요 하나의 이름은 세네라 5한 바위는 북에서 믹마스 앞에 일어섰고 하나는 남에서 게바 앞에 일어섰더라 6요나단이 자기 병기 든 소년에게 이르되 우리가 이 할례 없는 자들의 부대에게로 건너가자 여호와께서 우리를 위하여 일하실까 하노라 여호와의 구원은 사람의 많고 적음에 달리지 아니하였느니라 7병기 든 자가 그에게 이르되 당신의 마음에 있는 대로 다 행하여 앞서 가소서 내가 당신과 마음을 같이하여 따르리이다 8요나단이 가로되 보라 우리가 그 사람들에게로 건너가서 그들에게 보이리니 9그들이 만일 이같이 우리에게 이르기를 우리가 너희에게로 가기를 기다리라 하면 우리는 우리 곳에 가만히 서서 그들에게로 올라가지 말 것이요 10그들이 만일 이같이 말하기를 우리에게로 올라오라 하면 우리가 올라갈 것은 여호와께서 그들을 우리 손에 붙이셨음이니 이것이 우리에게 표징이 되리라 하고 11둘이 다 블레셋 사람의 부대에게 보이매 블레셋 사람이 가로되 보라 히브리 사람이 그 숨었던 구멍에서 나온다 하고 12그 부대 사람들이 요나단과 그 병기 든 자를 대하여 가로되 우리에게로 올라오라 너희에게 한 일을 보이리라 한지라 요나단이 자기 병기 든 자에게 이르되 나를 따라 올라오라 여호와께서 그들을 이스라엘의 손에 붙이셨느니라 하고 13요나단이 손발로 붙잡고 올라갔고 그 병기 든 자도 따랐더라 블레셋 사람들이 요나단 앞에서 엎드러지매 병기 든 자가 따라가며 죽였으니 14요나단과 그 병기 든 자가 반일경 지단 안에서 처음으로 도륙한 자가 이십 인 가량이라 15들에 있는 진과 모든 백성 중에 떨림이 일어났고 부대와 노략꾼들도 떨었으며 땅도 진동하였으니 이는 큰 떨림이었더라 16베냐민 기브아에 있는 사울의 파수꾼이 바라본즉 허다한 블레셋 사람이 무너져 이리저리 흩어지더라 17사울이 자기와 함께 한 백성에게 이르되 우리에게서 누가 나갔는지 점고하여 보라 하고 점고한즉 요나단과 그의 병기 든 자가 없어졌더라 18사울이 아히야에게 이르되 하나님의 궤를 이리로 가져오라 하니 그 때에 하나님의 궤가 이스라엘 자손과 함께 있음이라 19사울이 제사장에게 말할 때에 블레셋 사람의 진에 소동이 점점 더한지라 사울이 제사장에게 이르되 네 손을 거두라 하고 20사울과 그와 함께한 모든 백성이 모여 전장에 가서 본즉 블레셋 사람이 각각 칼로 그 동무를 치므로 크게 혼란하였더라 21전에 블레셋 사람과 함께 하던 히브리 사람이 사방에서 블레셋 사람과 함께 와서 진에 들어왔더니 그들이 돌이켜 사울과 요나단과 함께한 이스라엘 사람과 합하였고 22에브라임 산지에 숨었던 이스라엘 모든 사람도 블레셋 사람의 도망함을 듣고 싸우러 나와서 그들을 추격하였더라 23여호와께서 그 날에 이스라엘을 구원하시므로 전쟁이 벧아웬을 지나니라 24이 날에 이스라엘 백성이 피곤하였으니 이는 사울이 백성에게 맹세시켜 경계하여 이르기를 저녁 곧 내가 내 원수에게 보수하는 때까지 아무 식물이든지 먹는 사람은 저주를 받을지어다 하였음이라 그러므로 백성이 식물을 맛보지 못하고 25그들이 다 수풀에 들어간즉 땅에 꿀이 있더라 26백성이 수풀로 들어갈 때에 꿀이 흐르는 것을 보고도 그들이 맹세를 두려워하여 손을 그 입에 대는 자가 없으나 27요나단은 그 아비가 맹세로 백성에게 명할 때에 듣지 못하였으므로 손에 가진 지팡이 끝을 내밀어 꿀을 찍고 그 손을 돌이켜 입에 대매 눈이 밝아졌더라 28때에 백성 중 하나가 고하여 가로되 당신의 부친이 맹세로 백성에게 엄히 명하여 말씀하시기를 오늘날 식물을 먹는 사람은 저주를 받을지어다 하셨나이다 그러므로 백성이 피곤하였나이다 29요나단이 가로되 내 부친이 이 땅으로 곤란케 하셨도다 보라 내가 이 꿀 조금을 맛보고도 내 눈이 이렇게 밝았거든 30하물며 백성이 오늘 그 대적에게서 탈취하여 얻은 것을 임의로 먹었더면 블레셋 사람을 살륙함이 더욱 많지 아니하였겠느냐 31그 날에 백성이 믹마스에서부터 아얄론에 이르기까지 블레셋 사람을 쳤으므로 그들이 심히 피곤한지라 32백성이 이에 탈취한 물건에 달려가서 양과 소와 송아지들을 취하고 그것을 땅에서 잡아 피 있는 채 먹었더니 33무리가 사울에게 고하여 가로되 보소서 백성이 고기를 피채 먹어 여호와께 범죄하였나이다 사울이 가로되 너희가 무신하게 행하였도다 이제 큰 돌을 내게로 굴려오라 하고 34또 가로되 너희는 백성 중에 흩어져 다니며 이르기를 사람은 각기 소와 각기 양을 이리로 끌어다가 잡아 먹되 피 있는 채 먹어서 여호와께 범죄하지 말라 하매 그 밤에 모든 백성이 각각 자기의 소를 끌어다가 거기서 잡으니라 35사울이 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓았으니 이는 그가 여호와를 위하여 처음 쌓은 단이었더라 36사울이 가로되 우리가 밤에 블레셋 사람을 쫓아 내려가서 동틀 때까지 그들 중에서 탈취하고 한 사람도 남기지 말자 무리가 가로대 왕의 소견에 좋은 대로 하소서 할 때에 제사장이 가로되 이리로 와서 하나님께로 나아가사이다 하매 37사울이 하나님께 묻자오되 내가 블레셋 사람을 쫓아 내려가리이까 주께서 그들을 이스라엘의 손에 붙이시겠나이까 하되 그 날에 대답지 아니하시는지라 38사울이 가로되 너희 백성의 어른들아 다 이리로 오라 오늘 이 죄가 뉘게 있나 알아 보자 39이스라엘을 구원하신 여호와의 사심으로 맹세하노니 내 아들 요나단에게 있다 할지라도 반드시 죽으리라 하되 모든 백성 중 한 사람도 대답지 아니하매 40이에 그가 온 이스라엘에게 이르되 너희는 저편에 있으라 나와 내 아들 요나단은 이편에 있으리라 백성이 사울에게 말하되 왕의 소견에 좋은 대로 하소서 하니라 41이에 사울이 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 아뢰되 원컨대 실상을 보이소서 하였더니 요나단과 사울이 뽑히고 백성은 면한지라 42사울이 가로되 나와 내 아들 요나단 사이에 뽑으라 하였더니 요나단이 뽑히니라 43사울이 요나단에게 가로되 너의 행한 것을 내게 고하라 요나단이 고하여 가로되 내가 다만 내 손에 가진 지팡이 끝으로 꿀을 조금 맛보았을 뿐이오나 내가 죽을 수 밖에 없나이다 44사울이 가로되 요나단아 네가 반드시 죽으리라 그렇지 않으면 하나님이 내게 벌을 내리시고 또 내리시기를 원하노라 45백성이 사울에게 말하되 이스라엘에 이 큰 구원을 이룬 요나단이 죽겠나이까 결단코 그렇지 아니하니이다 여호와의 사심으로 맹세하옵나니 그의 머리털 하나도 땅에 떨어지지 아니할 것은 그가 오늘 하나님과 동사하였음이니이다 하여 요나단을 구원하여 죽지 않게 하니라 46사울이 블레셋 사람 따르기를 그치고 올라가매 블레셋 사람이 자기 곳으로 돌아가니라 47사울이 이스라엘 왕위에 나아간 후에 사방에 있는 모든 대적 곧 모압과 암몬 자손과 에돔과 소바의 왕들과 블레셋 사람을 쳤는데 향하는 곳마다 이기었고 48용맹 있게 아말렉 사람을 치고 이스라엘을 그 약탈하는 자의 손에서 건졌더라 49사울의 아들은 요나단과 리스위와 말기수아요 그 두 딸의 이름은 이러하니 맏딸의 이름은 메랍이요 작은 딸의 이름은 미갈이며 50사울의 아내의 이름은 아히노암이니 아히마아스의 딸이요 그 군장의 이름은 아브넬이니 사울의 숙부 넬의 아들이며 51사울의 아비는 기스요 아브넬의 아비는 넬이니 아비엘의 아들이었더라 52사울의 사는 날 동안에 블레셋 사람과 큰 싸움이 있었으므로 사울이 힘있는 자나 용맹있는 자를 보면 그들을 불러 모았더라
1Now it fell on a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father. 2Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people who were with him were about six hundred men; 3and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Yahweh in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone. 4Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 5The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba. 6Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Yahweh will work for us; for there is no restraint on Yahweh to save by many or by few.” 7His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Turn and, behold, I am with you according to your heart.” 8Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them. 9If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them. 10But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up; for Yahweh has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.” 11Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!” 12The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me; for Yahweh has delivered them into the hand of Israel.” 13Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him. 14That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land. 15There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the raiders, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there was an exceeding great trembling. 16The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and scattered. 17Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there. 18Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here.” For the ark of God was with the children of Israel at that time. 19While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!” 20Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle: and behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow: a very great confusion. 21Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as before, and who went up with them into the camp, from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan. 22Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle. 23So Yahweh saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over by Beth Aven. 24The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food. 25All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground. 26When the people had come to the forest, behold, the honey dropped: but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath. 27But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath: therefore he put out the end of the rod who was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. 28Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food this day.’” The people were faint. 29Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey. 30How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now has there been no great slaughter among the Philistines.” 31They struck of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint; 32and the people flew on the plunder, and took sheep, and cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood. 33Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against Yahweh, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me this day!” 34Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against Yahweh in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there. 35Saul built an altar to Yahweh. This was the first altar that he built to Yahweh. 36Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let us draw near here to God.” 37Saul asked counsel of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day. 38Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people; and know and see in which this sin has been this day. 39For, as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him. 40Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.” 41Therefore Saul said to Yahweh, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen; but the people escaped. 42Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected. 43Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.” 44Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.” 45The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God this day!” So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn’t die. 46Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place. 47Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he 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 wherever he turned himself, he defeated them. 48He did valiantly, and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them. 49Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal: 50and the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle. 51Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. 52There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
1Het geschiedde nu op een dag, dat Jonathan, de zoon van Saul, tot den jongen, die zijn wapenen droeg, zeide: Kom, en laat ons tot de bezetting der Filistijnen overgaan, welke aan gene zijde is; doch hij gaf het zijn vader niet te kennen. 2Saul nu zat aan het uiterste van Gibea onder den granatenboom, die te Migron was; en het volk, dat bij hem was, was omtrent zeshonderd man. 3En Ahia, de zoon van Ahitub, den broeder van Ikabod, den zoon van Pinehas, den zoon van Eli, was priester des HEEREN, te Silo, dragende den efod; doch het volk wist niet, dat Jonathan heengegaan was. 4Er was nu tussen de doortochten, waar Jonathan zocht door te gaan tot der Filistijnen bezetting, een scherpte van een steenklip aan deze zijde, en een scherpte van een steenklip aan gene zijde; en de naam der ene was Bozes, en de naam der andere Sene. 5De ene tand was gelegen tegen het noorden, tegenover Michmas, en de andere tegen het zuiden, tegenover Geba. 6Jonathan nu zeide tot den jongen, die zijn wapenen droeg: Kom, en laat ons tot de bezetting dezer onbesnedenen overgaan; misschien zal de HEERE voor ons werken; want bij den HEERE is geen verhindering, om te verlossen door velen of door weinigen. 7Toen zeide zijn wapendrager tot hem: Doe al, wat in uw hart is; wend u, zie ik ben met u, naar uw hart. 8Jonathan nu zeide: Zie, wij zullen overgaan tot die mannen, en wij zullen ons aan hen ontdekken. 9Indien zij aldus tot ons zeggen: Staat stil, totdat wij aan ulieden komen; zo zullen wij blijven staan aan onze plaats, en tot hen niet opklimmen. 10Maar zeggen zij aldus: Klimt tot ons op; zo zullen wij opklimmen, want de HEERE heeft hen in onze hand gegeven; en dit zal ons een teken zijn. 11Toen zij beiden zich aan der Filistijnen bezetting ontdekten, zo zeiden de Filistijnen: Ziet, de Hebreen zijn uit de holen uitgegaan, waarin zij zich verstoken hadden. 12Verder antwoordden de mannen der bezetting aan Jonathan en zijn wapendrager, en zeiden: Klimt op tot ons, en wij zullen het u wijs maken. En Jonathan zeide tot zijn wapendrager: Klim op achter mij, want de HEERE heeft hen gegeven in de hand van Israel. 13Toen klom Jonathan op zijn handen en op zijn voeten, en zijn wapendrager hem na; en zij vielen voor Jonathans aangezicht, en zijn wapendrager doodde ze achter hem. 14Deze eerste slag nu, waarmede Jonathan en zijn wapendrager omtrent twintig mannen versloegen, geschiedde omtrent in de helft eens bunders, zijnde een juk ossen lands. 15En er was een beving in het leger, op het veld en onder het ganse volk; de bezetting en de verdervers beefden ook zelven; ja, het land werd beroerd, want het was een beving Gods. 16Als nu de wachters van Saul te Gibea-Benjamins zagen, dat, ziet, de menigte versmolt, en doorging, en geklopt werd; 17Toen zeide Saul tot het volk, dat bij hem was: Telt toch, en beziet, wie van ons weggegaan zijn. En zij telden, en ziet, Jonathan en zijn wapendrager waren daar niet. 18Toen zeide Saul tot Ahia: Breng de ark Gods herwaarts. Want de ark Gods was te dien dage bij de kinderen Israels. 19En het geschiedde, toen Saul nog tot den priester sprak, dat het rumoer, hetwelk in der Filistijnen leger was, zeer toenam en vermenigvuldigde; zo zeide Saul tot den priester: Haal uw hand in. 20Saul nu, en al het volk, dat bij hem was, werd samengeroepen, en zij kwamen ten strijde; en ziet, het zwaard des enen was tegen den anderen, er was een zeer groot gedruis. 21Er waren ook Hebreen bij de Filistijnen, als eertijds, die met hen in het leger opgetogen waren rondom; dezen nu vervoegden zich ook met de Israelieten, die bij Saul en Jonathan waren. 22Als alle mannen van Israel, die zich verstoken hadden in het gebergte van Efraim, hoorden, dat de Filistijnen vluchtten, zo kleefden zij ook hen achteraan in den strijd. 23Alzo verloste de HEERE Israel te dien dage; en het leger trok over naar Beth-Aven. 24En de mannen van Israel werden mat te dien dage; want Saul had het volk bezworen, zeggende: Vervloekt zij de man, die spijze eet tot aan den avond, opdat ik mij aan mijn vijanden wreke! Daarom proefde dat ganse volk geen spijs. 25En het ganse volk kwam in een woud; en daar was honig op het veld. 26Toen het volk in het woud kwam, ziet, zo was er een honigvloed; maar niemand raakte met zijn hand aan zijn mond, want het volk vreesde de bezwering. 27Maar Jonathan had het niet gehoord, toen zijn vader het volk bezworen had, en hij reikte het einde van den staf uit, die in zijn hand was, en hij doopte denzelven in een honigraat; als hij nu zijn hand tot zijn mond wendde, zo werden zijn ogen verlicht. 28Toen antwoordde een man uit het volk, en zeide: Uw vader heeft het volk zwaarlijk bezworen, zeggende: Vervloekt zij de man, die heden brood eet! Daarom bezwijkt het volk. 29Toen zeide Jonathan: Mijn vader heeft het land beroerd; zie toch, hoe mijn ogen verlicht zijn, omdat ik een weinig van dezen honig gesmaakt heb; 30Hoe veel meer, indien het volk heden had mogen vrijelijk eten van den buit zijner vijanden, dien het gevonden heeft! Maar nu is die slag niet groot geweest over de Filistijnen. 31Doch zij sloegen te dien dage de Filistijnen van Michmas tot Ajalon; en het volk was zeer moede. 32Toen maakte zich het volk aan den buit, en zij namen schapen, en runderen, en kalveren, en zij slachtten ze tegen de aarde; en het volk at ze met het bloed. 33En men boodschapte het Saul, zeggende: Zie, het volk verzondigt zich aan den HEERE, etende met het bloed. En hij zeide: Gij hebt trouwelooslijk gehandeld; wentelt heden een groten steen tot mij. 34Verder sprak Saul: Verstrooit u onder het volk, en zegt tot hen: Brengt tot mij een iegelijk zijn os, en een iegelijk zijn schaap, en slacht het hier, en eet, en bezondigt u niet aan den HEERE, die etende met het bloed. Toen bracht al het volk een iegelijk zijn os met zijn hand, des nachts, en slachtte ze aldaar. 35Toen bouwde Saul den HEERE een altaar; dit was het eerste altaar, dat hij den HEERE bouwde. 36Daarna zeide Saul: Laat ons aftrekken de Filistijnen na, bij nacht, en laat ons dezelve beroven, totdat het morgen licht worde, en laat ons niet een man onder hen overig laten. Zij nu zeiden: Doe al wat goed is in uw ogen; maar de priester zeide: Laat ons herwaarts tot God naderen. 37Toen vraagde Saul God: Zal ik aftrekken de Filistijnen na? Zult Gij ze in de hand van Israel overgeven? Doch Hij antwoordde hem niet te dien dage. 38Toen zeide Saul: Komt herwaarts uit alle hoeken des volks, en verneemt, en ziet, waarin deze zonde heden geschied zij. 39Want zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, Die Israel verlost, alware het in mijn zoon Jonathan, zo zal hij den dood sterven; en niemand uit het ganse volk antwoordde hem. 40Verder zeide hij tot het ganse Israel: Gijlieden zult aan de ene zijde zijn, en ik en mijn zoon Jonathan zullen aan de andere zijde zijn. Toen zeide het volk tot Saul: Doe, wat goed is in uw ogen. 41Saul nu sprak tot den HEERE, den God Israels: Toon den onschuldige. Toen werd Jonathan en Saul geraakt, en het volk ging vrij uit. 42Toen zeide Saul: Werpt het lot tussen mij en tussen mijn zoon Jonathan. Toen werd Jonathan geraakt. 43Saul dan zeide tot Jonathan: Geef mij te kennen, wat gij gedaan hebt. Toen gaf het Jonathan hem te kennen, en zeide: Ik heb maar een weinig honigs geproefd, met het uiterste des stafs, dien ik in mijn hand had; zie hier ben ik, moet ik sterven? 44Toen zeide Saul: Zo doe mij God, en zo doe Hij daartoe, Jonathan! gij moet den dood sterven. 45Maar het volk zeide tot Saul: Zou Jonathan sterven, die deze grote verlossing in Israel gedaan heeft? Dat zij verre! zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, als er een haar van zijn hoofd op de aarde vallen zal; want hij heeft dit heden met God gedaan. Alzo verloste het volk Jonathan, dat hij niet stierf. 46Saul nu toog op van achter de Filistijnen, en de Filistijnen trokken aan hun plaats. 47Toen nam Saul het koninkrijk over Israel in; en hij streed rondom tegen al zijn vijanden, tegen Moab, en tegen de kinderen Ammons, en tegen Edom, en tegen de koningen van Zoba, en tegen de Filistijnen; en overal, waar hij zich wendde, oefende hij straf. 48En hij handelde dapper, en hij sloeg de Amalekieten, en hij redde Israel uit de hand desgenen, die hem beroofde. 49De zonen van Saul nu waren: Jonathan, en Isvi, en Malchi-sua; en de namen zijner twee dochteren waren deze: de naam der eerstgeborenen was Merab, en de naam der kleinste Michal. 50En de naam van Sauls huisvrouw was Ahinoam, een dochter van Ahimaaz; en de naam van zijn krijgsoverste was Abner, een zoon van Ner, Sauls oom. 51En Kis was Sauls vader, en Ner, Abners vader, was een zoon van Abiel. 52En er was een sterke krijg tegen de Filistijnen al de dagen van Saul; daarom alle helden en alle kloeke mannen, die Saul zag, die vergaderde hij tot zich.
