صَمُوئِيلَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ 14

١ 1 وَفِي ذَاتِ يَوْمٍ قَالَ يُونَاثَانُ بْنُ شَاوُلَ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْعَبْرِ». وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ أَبَاهُ.

NOW it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.

٢ 2 وَكَانَ شَاوُلُ مُقِيمًا فِي طَرَفِ جِبْعَةَ تَحْتَ ٱلرُّمَّانَةِ ٱلَّتِي فِي مِغْرُونَ، وَٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ نَحْوُ سِتِّ مِئَةِ رَجُلٍ.

And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

٣ 3 وَأَخِيَّا بْنُ أَخِيطُوبَ، أَخِي إِيخَابُودَ بْنِ فِينَحَاسَ بْنِ عَالِي، كَاهِنُ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي شِيلُوهَ كَانَ لَابِسًا أَفُودًا. وَلَمْ يَعْلَمِ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَنَّ يُونَاثَانَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ.

And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord’s priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

٤ 4 وَبَيْنَ ٱلْمَعَابِرِ ٱلَّتِي ٱلْتَمَسَ يُونَاثَانُ أَنْ يَعْبُرَهَا إِلَى حَفَظَةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ سِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ ٱلْجِهَةِ وَسِنُّ صَخْرَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ ٱلْجِهَةِ، وَٱسْمُ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ «بُوصَيْصُ» وَٱسْمُ ٱلْأُخْرَى «سَنَهُ».

And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

٥ 5 وَٱلسِّنُّ ٱلْوَاحِدُ عَمُودٌ إِلَى ٱلشِّمَالِ مُقَابِلَ مِخْمَاسَ، وَٱلْآخَرُ إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ مُقَابِلَ جِبْعَ.

The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِلْغُلَامِ حَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «تَعَالَ نَعْبُرْ إِلَى صَفِّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلْغُلْفِ، لَعَلَّ ٱللهَ يَعْمَلُ مَعَنَا، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِلرَّبِّ مَانِعٌ عَنْ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ بِٱلْكَثِيرِ أَوْ بِٱلْقَلِيلِ».

And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us: for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few.

٧ 7 فَقَالَ لَهُ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱعْمَلْ كُلَّ مَا بِقَلْبِكَ. تَقَدَّمْ. هَأَنَذَا مَعَكَ حَسَبَ قَلْبِكَ».

And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

٨ 8 فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «هُوَذَا نَحْنُ نَعْبُرُ إِلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ وَنُظْهِرُ أَنْفُسَنَا لَهُمْ.

Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.

٩ 9 فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَنَا هَكَذَا: دُومُوا حَتَّى نَصِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ. نَقِفُ فِي مَكَانِنَا وَلَا نَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ.

If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.

١٠ 10 وَلَكِنْ إِنْ قَالُوا هَكَذَا: ٱصْعَدُوا إِلَيْنَا. نَصْعَدُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِنَا، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْعَلَامَةُ لَنَا».

But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.

١١ 11 فَأَظْهَرَا أَنْفُسَهُمَا لِصَفِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. فَقَالَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ خَارِجُونَ مِنَ ٱلثُّقُوبِ ٱلَّتِي ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِيهَا».

And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

١٢ 12 فَأَجَابَ رِجَالُ ٱلصَّفِّ يُونَاثَانَ وَحَامِلَ سِلَاحِهِ وَقَالُوا: «ٱصْعَدَا إِلَيْنَا فَنُعَلِّمَكُمَا شَيْئًا». فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ لِحَامِلِ سِلَاحِهِ: «ٱصْعَدْ وَرَائِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ دَفَعَهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

١٣ 13 فَصَعِدَ يُونَاثَانُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ وَرَاءَهُ. فَسَقَطُوا أَمَامَ يُونَاثَانَ، وَكَانَ حَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ يُقَتِّلُ وَرَاءَهُ.

And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.

١٤ 14 وَكَانَتِ ٱلضَّرْبَةُ ٱلْأُولَى ٱلَّتِي ضَرَبَهَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ نَحْوَ عِشْرِينَ رَجُلًا فِي نَحْوِ نِصْفِ تَلَمِ فَدَّانِ أَرْضٍ.

And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.

١٥ 15 وَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ فِي ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، فِي ٱلْحَقْلِ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ. ٱلصَّفُّ وَٱلْمُخَرِّبُونَ ٱرْتَعَدُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا، وَرَجَفَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ فَكَانَ ٱرْتِعَادٌ عَظِيمٌ.

And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

١٦ 16 فَنَظَرَ ٱلْمُرَاقِبُونَ لِشَاوُلَ فِي جِبْعَةِ بَنْيَامِينَ، وَإِذَا بِٱلْجُمْهُورِ قَدْ ذَابَ وَذَهَبُوا مُتَبَدِّدِينَ.

And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

١٧ 17 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ: «عُدُّوا ٱلْآنَ وَٱنْظُرُوا مَنْ ذَهَبَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا». فَعَدُّوا، وَهُوَذَا يُونَاثَانُ وَحَامِلُ سِلَاحِهِ لَيْسَا مَوْجُودَيْنِ.

Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.

١٨ 18 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِأَخِيَّا: «قَدِّمْ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ». لِأَنَّ تَابُوتَ ٱللهِ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مَعَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

١٩ 19 وَفِيمَا كَانَ شَاوُلُ يَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدُ مَعَ ٱلْكَاهِنِ، تَزَايَدَ ٱلضَّجِيجُ ٱلَّذِي فِي مَحَلَّةِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ وَكَثُرَ. فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلْكَاهِنِ: «كُفَّ يَدَكَ».

And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.

٢٠ 20 وَصَاحَ شَاوُلُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي مَعَهُ وَجَاءُوا إِلَى ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَإِذَا بِسَيْفِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ. ٱضْطِرَابٌ عَظِيمٌ جِدًّا.

And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

٢١ 21 وَٱلْعِبْرَانِيُّونَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مُنْذُ أَمْسِ وَمَا قَبْلَهُ، ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ مِنْ حَوَالَيْهِمْ، صَارُوا هُمْ أَيْضًا مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَ شَاوُلَ وَيُونَاثَانَ.

Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

٢٢ 22 وَسَمِعَ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَبَأُوا فِي جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ أَنَّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ هَرَبُوا، فَشَدُّوا هُمْ أَيْضًا وَرَاءَهُمْ فِي ٱلْحَرْبِ.

Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

٢٣ 23 فَخَلَّصَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ. وَعَبَرَتِ ٱلْحَرْبُ إِلَى بَيْتِ آوِنَ.

So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.

٢٤ 24 وَضَنُكَ رِجَالُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، لِأَنَّ شَاوُلَ حَلَّفَ ٱلشَّعْبَ قَائِلًا: «مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ حَتَّى أَنْتَقِمَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي». فَلَمْ يَذُقْ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ خُبْزًا.

And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

٢٥ 25 وَجَاءَ كُلُّ ٱلشَّعْبِ إِلَى ٱلْوَعْرِ وَكَانَ عَسَلٌ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْحَقْلِ.

And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

٢٦ 26 وَلَمَّا دَخَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلْوَعْرَ إِذَا بِٱلْعَسَلِ يَقْطُرُ وَلَمْ يَمُدَّ أَحَدٌ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ خَافَ مِنَ ٱلْقَسَمِ.

And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

٢٧ 27 وَأَمَّا يُونَاثَانُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ عِنْدَمَا ٱسْتَحْلَفَ أَبُوهُ ٱلشَّعْبَ، فَمَدَّ طَرَفَ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِهِ وَغَمَسَهُ فِي قَطْرِ ٱلْعَسَلِ وَرَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ فَٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَاهُ.

But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

٢٨ 28 فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «قَدْ حَلَّفَ أَبُوكَ ٱلشَّعْبَ حَلْفًا قَائِلًا: مَلْعُونٌ ٱلرَّجُلُ ٱلَّذِي يَأْكُلُ خُبْزًا ٱلْيَوْمَ. فَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ».

Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

٢٩ 29 فَقَالَ يُونَاثَانُ: «قَدْ كَدَّرَ أَبِي ٱلْأَرْضَ. اُنْظُرُوا كَيْفَ ٱسْتَنَارَتْ عَيْنَايَ لِأَنِّي ذُقْتُ قَلِيلًا مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْعَسَلِ.

Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

٣٠ 30 فَكَمْ بِٱلْحَرِيِّ لَوْ أَكَلَ ٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ غَنِيمَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمِ ٱلَّتِي وَجَدُوا؟ أَمَا كَانَتِ ٱلْآنَ ضَرْبَةٌ أَعْظَمُ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟»

How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

٣١ 31 فَضَرَبُوا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ مِنْ مِخْمَاسَ إِلَى أَيَّلُونَ. وَأَعْيَا ٱلشَّعْبُ جِدًّا.

And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.

٣٢ 32 وَثَارَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ، فَأَخَذُوا غَنَمًا وَبَقَرًا وَعُجُولًا، وَذَبَحُوا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَأَكَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ.

And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

٣٣ 33 فَأَخْبَرُوا شَاوُلَ قَائِلِينَ: «هُوَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ يُخْطِئُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِهِ عَلَى ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَالَ: «قَدْ غَدَرْتُمْ. دَحْرِجُوا إِلَيَّ ٱلْآنَ حَجَرًا كَبِيرًا».

Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the Lord, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.

٣٤ 34 وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقُولُوا لَهُمْ أَنْ يُقَدِّمُوا إِلَيَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ شَاتَهُ، وَٱذْبَحُوا هَهُنَا وَكُلُوا وَلَا تُخْطِئُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ بِأَكْلِكُمْ مَعَ ٱلدَّمِ». فَقَدَّمَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ثَوْرَهُ بِيَدِهِ فِي تِلْكَ ٱللَّيْلَةِ وَذَبَحُوا هُنَاكَ.

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.

٣٥ 35 وَبَنَى شَاوُلُ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ. ٱلَّذِي شَرَعَ بِبُنْيَانِهِ مَذْبَحًا لِلرَّبِّ.

And Saul built an altar unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord.

٣٦ 36 وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «لِنَنْزِلْ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ لَيْلًا وَنَنْهَبْهُمْ إِلَى ضَوْءِ ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَلَا نُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا». فَقَالُوا: «ٱفْعَلْ كُلَّ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ». وَقَالَ ٱلْكَاهِنُ: «لِنَتَقَدَّمْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱللهِ».

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.

٣٧ 37 فَسَأَلَ شَاوُلُ ٱللهَ: «أَأَنْحَدِرُ وَرَاءَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ؟ أَتَدْفَعُهُمْ لِيَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟» فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ.

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.

٣٨ 38 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «تَقَدَّمُوا إِلَى هُنَا يَا جَمِيعَ وُجُوهِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَٱعْلَمُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا بِمَاذَا كَانَتْ هَذِهِ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ ٱلْيَوْمَ.

And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

٣٩ 39 لِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُخَلِّصُ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ فِي يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتًا». وَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْ يُجِيبُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّعْبِ.

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.

٤٠ 40 فَقَالَ لِجَمِيعِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «أَنْتُمْ تَكُونُونَ فِي جَانِبٍ وَأَنَا وَيُونَاثَانُ ٱبْنِي فِي جَانِبٍ». فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «ٱصْنَعْ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ».

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.

٤١ 41 وَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «هَبْ صِدْقًا». فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ وَشَاوُلُ، أَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَخَرَجُوا.

Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

٤٢ 42 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «أَلْقُوا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ يُونَاثَانَ ٱبْنِي. فَأُخِذَ يُونَاثَانُ».

And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.

٤٣ 43 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ لِيُونَاثَانَ: «أَخْبِرْنِي مَاذَا فَعَلْتَ». فَأَخْبَرَهُ يُونَاثَانُ وَقَالَ: «ذُقْتُ ذَوْقًا بِطَرَفِ ٱلنُّشَّابَةِ ٱلَّتِي بِيَدِي قَلِيلَ عَسَلٍ. فَهَأَنَذَا أَمُوتُ».

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.

٤٤ 44 فَقَالَ شَاوُلُ: «هَكَذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱللهُ وَهَكَذَا يَزِيدُ إِنَّكَ مَوْتًا تَمُوتُ يَايُونَاثَانُ».

And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

٤٥ 45 فَقَالَ ٱلشَّعْبُ لِشَاوُلَ: «أَيَمُوتُ يُونَاثَانُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ هَذَا ٱلْخَلَاصَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ؟ حَاشَا! حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ، لَا تَسْقُطُ شَعْرَةٌ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ ٱللهِ عَمِلَ هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمَ». فَٱفْتَدَى ٱلشَّعْبُ يُونَاثَانَ فَلَمْ يَمُتْ.

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.

٤٦ 46 فَصَعِدَ شَاوُلُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَذَهَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيُّونَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِمْ.

Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

٤٧ 47 وَأَخَذَ شَاوُلُ ٱلْمُلْكَ عَلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَحَارَبَ جَمِيعَ أَعْدَائِهِ حَوَالَيْهِ: مُوآبَ وَبَنِي عَمُّونَ وَأَدُومَ وَمُلُوكَ صُوبَةَ وَٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. وَحَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَ غَلَبَ.

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.

٤٨ 48 وَفَعَلَ بِبَأْسٍ وَضَرَبَ عَمَالِيقَ، وَأَنْقَذَ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ يَدِ نَاهِبِيهِ.

And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

٤٩ 49 وَكَانَ بَنُو شَاوُلَ: يُونَاثَانَ وَيَشْوِيَ وَمَلْكِيشُوعَ، وَٱسْمَا ٱبْنَتَيْهِ: ٱسْمُ ٱلْبِكْرِ مَيْرَبُ وَٱسْمُ ٱلصَّغِيرَةِ مِيكَالُ.

Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

٥٠ 50 وَٱسْمُ ٱمْرَأَةِ شَاوُلَ أَخِينُوعَمُ بِنْتُ أَخِيمَعَصَ، وَٱسْمُ رَئِيسِ جَيْشِهِ أَبِينَيْرُ بْنُ نَيْرَ عَمِّ شَاوُلَ.

And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
