Löydetty 504 Tulokset: end of Saul's reign
Then they reported to Saul, saying that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with blood. And he said: “You have transgressed. Roll a great stone to me, here and now.” (1 Samuel 14, 33)
And Saul said: “Disperse yourselves among the common people, and tell each one of them to bring to me his ox and his ram, and to slay them upon this stone, and to eat, so that you will not sin against the Lord, in eating with blood.” And so, each one, out of all the people, brought his ox, by his own hand, throughout the night. And they slew them there. (1 Samuel 14, 34)
Then Saul built an altar to the Lord. And so, it was then that he first began to build an altar to the Lord. (1 Samuel 14, 35)
And Saul said: “Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and lay waste to them even until the morning light. And let us not leave behind a man among them.” And the people said, “Do all that seems good in your eyes.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near to God in this place.” (1 Samuel 14, 36)
And Saul consulted the Lord: “Shall I pursue the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hands of Israel?” And he did not respond to him on that day. (1 Samuel 14, 37)
And Saul said: “Bring here every single leader of the people. And we shall know and see by whom this sin was committed this day. (1 Samuel 14, 38)
And he said to all of Israel, “Separate yourselves on one side, and I, with my son Jonathan, will be on the other side.” And the people responded to Saul, “Do what seems good in your eyes.” (1 Samuel 14, 40)
And Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel: “O Lord, God of Israel, grant a sign: Why is it that you will not respond to your servant this day? If this iniquity is in me, or in my son Jonathan, grant an indication. Or if this iniquity is in your people, grant a sanctification.” And Jonathan and Saul were discovered, but the people were released. (1 Samuel 14, 41)
And Saul said, “Cast lots between myself and Jonathan, my son.” And Jonathan was caught. (1 Samuel 14, 42)
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan revealed to him, and said: “Truly, I tasted a little honey with the top of the staff that was in my hand. And behold, I shall die.” (1 Samuel 14, 43)
And Saul said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, for you shall surely die, Jonathan!” (1 Samuel 14, 44)
And the people said to Saul: “Why should Jonathan have to die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? This is wrong. As the Lord lives, not one hair of his head should fall to the ground. For he has wrought with God this day.” Therefore, the people freed Jonathan, so that he would not die. (1 Samuel 14, 45)
