14That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.15And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.

      16Now Saul’s watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here andthere.17Saul said to the people whowere with him, “Number now and see who has gone from us.” And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were notthere.18Then Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the ark of God here.” For the ark of God was at that time with the sons of Israel.19While Saul talked to the priest, the commotion in the camp of the Philistines continued and increased; so Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”20Then Saul and all the people whowere with him rallied and came to the battle; and behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow,and there was very great confusion.21Now the Hebrewswho were with the Philistines previously, who went up with them all around in the camp, even they alsoturned to be with the Israelites whowere with Saul and Jonathan.22When all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, even they also pursued them closely in the battle.23So the L delivered Israel that day, and the battle spread beyond Beth-aven.

      24Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.25Allthe people of the land entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.26When the people entered the forest, behold,there was a flow of honey; but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.27But Jonathan had not heard when his father put the people under oath; therefore, he put out the end of the staff thatwas in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.28Then one of the people said, “Your father strictly put the people under oath, saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today.’” And the people were weary.29Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.30“How much more, if only the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found! For now the slaughter among the Philistines has not been great.”

      31They struck among the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very weary.32The people rushed greedily upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen and calves, and slewthem on the ground; and the people atethem with the blood.33Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the L by eating with the blood.” And he said, “You have acted treacherously; roll a great stone to me today.”34Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughterit here and eat; and do not sin against the L by eating with the blood.’” So all the people that night brought each one his ox with him and slaughteredit there.35And Saul built an altar to the L; it was the first altar that he built to the L.

      36Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” So the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”37Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?” But He did not answer him on that day.38Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and investigate and see how this sin has happened today.39“For as the L lives, who delivers Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But not one of all the people answered him.40Then he said to all Israel, “You shall be on one side and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” And the people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”41Therefore, Saul said to the L, the God of Israel, “Give a perfectlot.” And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.42Saul said, “Castlots between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.

      43Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” So Jonathan told him and said, “I indeed tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die!”44Saul said, “May God do thisto me and more also, for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”45But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die, who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Far from it! As the L lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day.” So the people rescued Jonathan and he did not die.46Then Saul went up from pursuing 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, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.48He acted valiantly and defeated the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of those who plundered them.

      49Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughterswere these: the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal.50The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.51Kishwas the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abnerwas the son of Abiel.

      52Now the war against the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he attached him to his staff.

[Sidenote: 1139] 33. (20). It seemed to him, however, that one could not go on doing these things with sufficient security without the authority of the Apostolic See; and for that reason he determined to set out for Rome, and most of all because the metropolitan see still lacked, and from the beginning had lacked, the use of the pall, which is the fullness of honour.[507] And it seemed good in his eyes[508] that the church for which he had laboured so much[509] should acquire, by his zeal and labour,…

Jonathan, the Pattern of Friendship
'And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life? 2. And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so. 3. And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith,…

Of Antichrist, and his Ruin: and of the Slaying the Witnesses.
BY JOHN BUNYAN PREFATORY REMARKS BY THE EDITOR This important treatise was prepared for the press, and left by the author, at his decease, to the care of his surviving friend for publication. It first appeared in a collection of his works in folio, 1692; and although a subject of universal interest; most admirably elucidated; no edition has been published in a separate form. Antichrist has agitated the Christian world from the earliest ages; and his craft has been to mislead the thoughtless, by…

A Divine Cordial
We know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans viii. 28. Introduction IF the whole Scripture be the feast of the soul, as Ambrose said, then Romans 8 may be a dish at that feast, and with its sweet variety may very much refresh and animate the hearts of Gods people. In the preceding verses the apostle had been wading through the great doctrines of justification and adoption, mysteries so arduous and profound, that…

Ramah. Ramathaim Zophim. Gibeah.
There was a certain Ramah, in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 18:25, and that within sight of Jerusalem, as it seems, Judges 19:13; where it is named with Gibeah:--and elsewhere, Hosea 5:8; which towns were not much distant. See 1 Samuel 22:6; "Saul sat in Gibeah, under a grove in Ramah." Here the Gemarists trifle: "Whence is it (say they) that Ramah is placed near Gibea? To hint to you, that the speech of Samuel of Ramah was the cause, why Saul remained two years and a half in Gibeah." They blindly…

Samuel
Alike from the literary and the historical point of view, the book[1] of Samuel stands midway between the book of Judges and the book of Kings. As we have already seen, the Deuteronomic book of Judges in all probability ran into Samuel and ended in ch. xii.; while the story of David, begun in Samuel, embraces the first two chapters of the first book of Kings. The book of Samuel is not very happily named, as much of it is devoted to Saul and the greater part to David; yet it is not altogether inappropriate,…
