1 Samuel 14

1 Now it fell upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bore his armour: 'Come and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on yonder side. But he told not his father.

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

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

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

3 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

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

4 And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto 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.

٤ 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».

5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmas, and the other on the south in front of Geba.

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

6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore 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.'

٦ 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».

7 And his armour-bearer said unto him: 'Do all that is in thy heart; turn thee, behold I am with thee according to thy heart.'

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

8 Then said Jonathan: 'Behold, we will pass over unto the men, and we will disclose ourselves unto them.

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

9 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.

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

10 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 the sign unto us.'

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

11 And both of them disclosed themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said: 'Behold Hebrews coming forth out of the holes where they hid themselves.'

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

12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan and his armour-bearer, and said: 'Come up to us, and we will show you a thing.' And Jonathan said unto his armour-bearer: 'Come up after me; for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.'

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

13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armour-bearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan; and his armour-bearer slew them after him.

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

14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armour-bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.

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

15 And there was a trembling in the camp in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked; so it grew into a terror from God.

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

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeath-benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went hither and thither.

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

17 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 armour-bearer were not there.

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

18 And Saul said unto Ahijah: 'Bring hither the ark of God.' For the ark of God was there at that time with the children of Israel.

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

19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said unto the priest: 'Withdraw thy hand.'

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

20 And Saul and all the people that were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

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

21 Now the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as beforetime, and that went up with them into the camp round about; even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

٢١ 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.

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

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

23 So the LORD saved Israel that day; and the battle passed on as far as Beth-aven.

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

24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day; but Saul adjured the people, saying: 'Cursed be the man that eateth any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on mine enemies.' So none of the people tasted food.

٢٤ 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.

25 And all the people came into the forest; and there was honey upon the ground.

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

26 And when the people were come unto the forest, behold a flow of honey; but no man put his hand to his mouth; for the people feared the oath.

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

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

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

28 Then answered one of the people, and said: 'Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that eateth food this day; and the people are faint.'

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

29 Then said Jonathan: 'My father hath troubled the land; see, I pray you, how mine eyes are brightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.

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

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

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

31 And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmas to Aijalon; and the people were very faint.

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

32 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.

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

33 Then they told Saul, saying: 'Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood.' And he said: 'Ye have dealt treacherously; roll a great stone unto me this day.'

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

34 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.

٣٤ 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.

35 And Saul built an altar unto the LORD; the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.

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

36 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.'

٣٦ 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».

37 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.

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

38 And Saul said: 'Draw nigh hither, all ye chiefs of the people; and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

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

39 For, as the LORD liveth, who 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.

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

40 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.'

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

41 Therefore Saul said unto the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Declare the right.' And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot; but the people escaped.

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

42 And Saul said: 'Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.' And Jonathan was taken.

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

43 Then Saul said to Jonathan: 'Tell me what thou hast done.' And Jonathan told him, and said: 'I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; here am I: I will die.'

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

44 And Saul said: 'God do so and more also; thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.'

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

45 And the people said unto Saul: 'Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it; 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.

٤٥ 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.

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

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

47 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 put them to the worse.

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

48 And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.

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

49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;

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

50 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.

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

51 And Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

٥١ وَقَيْسُ أَبُو شَاوُلَ وَنَيْرُ أَبُو أَبْنَيْرَ ٱبْنَا أَبِيئِيلَ.

52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.

٥٢ وَكَانَتْ حَرْبٌ شَدِيدَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ شَاوُلَ. وَإِذَا رَأَى شَاوُلُ رَجُلًا جَبَّارًا أَوْ ذَا بَأْسٍ ضَمَّهُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ.
