and to reveal: reveal two their to(wards) station Philistine and to say Philistine behold Hebrew to come out: come from [the] hole which to hide there

12 So the men of the outpost called out to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come on up, and we will teach you a lesson!” “Follow me,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”

13 So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer behind him. And the Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and finished them off.

and to ascend: rise Jonathan upon hand his and upon foot his and to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his after him and to fall: kill to/for face: before Jonathan and to lift: bearing(armour) article/utensil his to die after him

15 Then terror struck the Philistines in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even those in the outposts and raiding parties trembled. Indeed, the earth quaked and panic spread from God.

20 Then Saul and all his troops assembled and marched to the battle, and they found the Philistines in total confusion, with each man wielding the sword against his neighbor.

and to cry out Saul and all [the] people which with him and to come (in): come till [the] battle and behold to be sword man: anyone in/on/with neighbor his tumult great: large much

21 And the Hebrews who had previously gone up into the surrounding camps of the Philistines now went over to the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

23 So the LORD saved Israel that day, and the battle moved on beyond Beth-aven.

and to save LORD in/on/with day [the] he/she/it [obj] Israel and [the] battle to pass [obj] Beth-aven Beth-aven

24 Now the men of Israel were in distress that day, for Saul had placed the troops under an oath, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food before evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” So none of the troops tasted any food.

and man Israel to oppress in/on/with day [the] he/she/it and to swear Saul [obj] [the] people to/for to say to curse [the] man which to eat food till [the] evening and to avenge from enemy my and not to perceive all [the] people food

25 Then all the troops entered the forest, and there was honey on the ground.

and all [the] land: country/planet to come (in): come in/on/with honeycomb and to be honey upon face: before [the] land: soil

26 And when they entered the forest and saw the flowing honey, not one of them put his hand to his mouth, because they feared the oath.

and to come (in): come [the] people to(wards) [the] honeycomb and behold traveller honey and nothing to overtake hand his to(wards) lip his for to fear [the] people [obj] [the] oath

27 Jonathan, however, had not heard that his father had charged the people with the oath. So he reached out the end of the staff in his hand, dipped it into the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.

and Jonathan not to hear: hear in/on/with to swear father his [obj] [the] people and to send: reach [obj] end [the] tribe: rod which in/on/with hand his and to dip [obj] her in/on/with honeycomb [the] honey and to return: return hand his to(wards) lip his (and to light *Q(K)*) eye his

and to answer man from [the] people and to say to swear to swear father your [obj] [the] people to/for to say to curse [the] man which to eat food [the] day: today and be faint [the] people

and to say Jonathan to trouble father my [obj] [the] land: country/planet to see: see please for to light eye my for to perceive little honey [the] this

30 How much better it would have been if the troops had eaten freely today from the plunder they took from their enemies! Would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been much greater?”

also for if to eat to eat [the] day [the] people from spoil enemy his which to find for now not to multiply wound in/on/with Philistine

31 That day, after the Israelites had struck down the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, the people were very faint.

and to smite in/on/with day [the] he/she/it in/on/with Philistine from Michmash Aijalon [to] and be faint [the] people much

32 So they rushed greedily to the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves. They slaughtered them on the ground and ate meat with the blood still in it.

(and to pounce *Q(K)*) [the] people to(wards) ([the] spoil *Q(K)*) and to take: take flock and cattle and son: young animal cattle and to slaughter land: soil [to] and to eat [the] people upon [the] blood

and to tell to/for Saul to/for to say behold [the] people to sin to/for LORD to/for to eat upon [the] blood and to say to act treacherously to roll to(wards) me [the] day stone great: large

34 Then he said, “Go among the troops and tell them, ‘Each man must bring me his ox or his sheep, slaughter them in this place, and then eat. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with the blood still in it.’” So that night everyone brought his ox and slaughtered it there.

and to say Saul to scatter in/on/with people and to say to/for them to approach: bring to(wards) me man: anyone cattle his and man: anyone sheep his and to slaughter in/on/with this and to eat and not to sin to/for LORD to/for to eat to(wards) [the] blood and to approach: bring all [the] people man: anyone cattle his in/on/with hand: monument his [the] night and to slaughter there

and to build Saul altar to/for LORD [obj] him to profane/begin: begin to/for to build altar to/for LORD

36 And Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until dawn, leaving no man alive!” “Do what seems good to you,” the troops replied. But the priest said, “We must consult God here.”

and to say Saul to go down after Philistine night and to plunder in/on/with them till light [the] morning and not to remain in/on/with them man: anyone and to say all [the] pleasant in/on/with eye: appearance your to make: do and to say [the] priest to present: come here to(wards) [the] God

41 So Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim; but if the fault is with the men of Israel, respond with Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were selected, but the people were cleared of the charge.

and to say Saul to(wards) LORD God Israel (to/for what? not to answer [obj] servant/slave your [the] day: today if there in/on/with me or in/on/with Jonathan son: child my [the] iniquity: crime [the] this LORD God Israel to give [emph?] Urim and if there he [the] iniquity: crime [the] this in/on/with people your Israel *X*) to give [emph?] unblemished: Thummim and to capture Jonathan and Saul and [the] people to come out: come

42 Then Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan.” And Jonathan was selected.

and to say Saul to fall: allot between me and between Jonathan son: child my and to capture Jonathan

43 “Tell me what you have done,” Saul commanded him. So Jonathan told him, “I only tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. And now I must die?”

and to say Saul thus to make: do God and thus to add for to die to die Jonathan

45 But the people said to Saul, “Must Jonathan die—he who accomplished such a great deliverance for Israel? Never! As surely as the LORD lives, not a hair of his head will fall to the ground, for with God’s help he has accomplished this today.” So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
