The Bible In One Year Bible Reading For Day Number - 103 First
Samuel -- 13{1}
Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel, {2}
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul
in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of
Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent. {3}
And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines
heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the
Hebrews hear. {4} And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a
garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with
the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
{5} And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel,
thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which
is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward
from Beth-aven. {6} When the men of Israel saw that they were in a
strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves
in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
{7} And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead.
As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
{8} And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had
appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
{9} And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings.
And he offered the burnt offering. {10} And it came to pass, that as
soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came;
and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. {11} And Samuel
said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered
from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines
gathered themselves together at Michmash; {12} Therefore said I, The
Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication
unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering. {13}
And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment
of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established
thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. {14} But now thy kingdom shall not
continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath
commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which
the LORD commanded thee. {15} And Samuel arose, and gat him up from
Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present
with him, about six hundred men. {16} And Saul, and Jonathan his son,
and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the
Philistines encamped in Michmash. {17} And the spoilers came out of
the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way
that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual: {18} And another company
turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned to the way of the border
that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. {19} Now
there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines
said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears: {20} But all the
Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his
coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. {21} Yet they had a file for
the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to
sharpen the goads. {22} So it came to pass in the day of battle, that
there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that
were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there
found. {23} And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage
of Michmash. First
Samuel -- 14{1}
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. {2} 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; {3} 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. {4} 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. {5} The forefront of the one was situate
northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
{6} 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. {7} And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine
heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. {8}
Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover
ourselves unto them. {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.
{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 a sign unto us.
{11} 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. {12} 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. {13} 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. {14} 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.
{15} 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. {16} And the watchmen of Saul in
Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went
on beating down one another. {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 armourbearer were not there. {18} 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. {19} 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. {20}
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. {21} 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. {22} 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. {23} So
the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth-aven.
{24} 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. {25}
And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
{26} 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. {27}
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. {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 any food this day. And the
people were faint. {29} 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. {30} 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? {31} And
they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were
very faint. {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. {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 transgressed:
roll a great stone unto me this day. {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. {35} And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the
same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD. {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.
{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.
{38} And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and
know and see wherein this sin hath been this day. {39} 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. {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. {41} Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a
perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. {42}
And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
{43} 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. {44} And Saul answered, God
do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan. {45} 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. {46} Then Saul went up from following the
Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place. {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 vexed them. {48} And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites,
and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them. {49}
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: {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. {51} And Kish was the father of Saul; and
Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. {52} And there was sore
war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong
man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. Luke
-- 15{1}
Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. {2}
And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and
eateth with them. {3} And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
{4} What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth
not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost,
until he find it? {5} And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his
shoulders, rejoicing. {6} And when he cometh home, he calleth together
his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found
my sheep which was lost. {7} I say unto you, that likewise joy shall
be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just
persons, which need no repentance. {8} Either what woman having ten
pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the
house, and seek diligently till she find it? {9} And when she hath
found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice
with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. {10} Likewise,
I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner
that repenteth. {11} And he said, A certain man had two sons: {12}
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods
that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. {13} And not
many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into
a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. {14}
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began
to be in want. {15} And he went and joined himself to a citizen of
that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. {16} And
he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and
no man gave unto him. {17} And when he came to himself, he said, How
many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish
with hunger! {18} I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto
him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, {19} And
am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
{20} And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great
way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck,
and kissed him. {21} And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
{22} But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and
put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: {23}
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
{24} For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is
found. And they began to be merry. {25} Now his elder son was in the
field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
{26} And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
{27} And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed
the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. {28}
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated
him. {29} And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years
do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou
never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: {30}
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots,
thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. {31} And he said unto him,
Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. {32} It was
meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and
is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
