1 Saúl había reinado ya un año. En el segundo año de su reinado
1 Saul was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned over Israel forty-two years.
2 seleccionó a tres mil soldados especiales y llevó a dos mil de ellos a Micmás y a la región montañosa de Betel, mientras los otros mil quedaban con Jonatán, su hijo, en Guibeá en la tierra de Benjamín. Envió el resto del ejército a sus casas.
2 Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. He sent the rest of the people to their own tents.
3 Entonces Jonatán atacó y destruyó la guarnición filistea que estaba en Guibeá. La noticia corrió rápidamente entre los filisteos, y Saúl convocó a todo Israel a las armas.
3 Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”
4 Anunció que había destruido una guarnición de los filisteos y se corrió la noticia que los israelitas se habían hecho detestables delante de los filisteos. Todo el ejército israelita se movilizó y se reunió en Gilgal.
4 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was considered an abomination to the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.
5 Los filisteos reclutaron un poderoso ejército de tres mil carros, seis mil jinetes y tantos soldados como arena hay en la playa, y acamparon en Micmás al este de Bet Avén.
5 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. They came up and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
6 Cuando los israelitas vieron la gran cantidad de soldados enemigos, perdieron todo su valor y trataron de esconderse en cuevas, en fosos, en peñascos, en excavaciones y en cisternas.
6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in tombs, and in pits.
7 También algunos cruzaron el río Jordán y huyeron a la tierra de Galaad. Mientras tanto, Saúl se quedó en Gilgal, y los que estaban con él temblaban de miedo ante lo que les esperaba.
7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
8 Samuel le había dicho a Saúl que esperara siete días hasta su llegada, pero como todavía no llegaba y los soldados estaban desertando rápidamente,
8 He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel; but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from him.
9 decidió ofrecer un holocausto y una ofrenda de paz él mismo.
9 Saul said, “Bring the burnt offering to me here, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.
10 Pero cuando estaba terminando llegó Samuel. Saúl salió a encontrarlo y darle la bienvenida,
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
11 pero Samuel le dijo: ―¿Qué es lo que has hecho? ―Bueno —respondió Saúl—, cuando vi que mis hombres estaban desertando y que tú no llegabas en el tiempo que dijiste, y que los filisteos estaban en Micmás listos para la batalla,
11 Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash,
12 me dije: “Los filisteos están listos para atacarnos y no hemos pedido la ayuda del Señor”. Entonces ofrecí el holocausto sin esperar tu llegada.
12 therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of Yahweh.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”
13 ―Has actuado locamente —exclamó Samuel—. Has desobedecido el mandamiento del Señor tu Dios. Él quería hacer de ti y de tus descendientes reyes de Israel para siempre,
13 Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you; for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
14 pero ahora tu reino no perdurará. El Señor quiere un hombre que le obedezca. Por eso ha buscado a un varón conforme a su corazón y lo ha designado para que sea rey de este pueblo. Y todo porque no has obedecido el mandamiento del Señor.
14 But now your kingdom will not continue. Yahweh has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Yahweh commanded you.”
15 Sin más, Samuel se fue de Gilgal a Guibeá de Benjamín. Cuando Saúl contó los soldados que aún estaban con él, encontró que eran sólo seiscientos.
15 Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul counted the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.
16 Saúl y Jonatán, y estos seiscientos hombres, pusieron su campamento en Guibeá de Benjamín, pero los filisteos se quedaron en Micmás.
16 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin; but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
17 Tres compañías de merodeo salieron del campamento filisteo: una fue hacia Ofra en la tierra de Súal,
17 The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
18 otra fue a Bet Jorón, y la tercera se dirigió hacia las alturas que dominan el valle de Zeboyín, hacia el desierto.
18 another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
19 En aquellos días no había herreros en todo Israel, porque los filisteos no se lo permitían por temor de que los hebreos se hicieran espadas y lanzas.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears”;
20 Cuando los israelitas necesitaban afilar los arados, los discos, las hachas o las hoces, tenían que llevarlas a un herrero filisteo.
20 but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his own plowshare, mattock, ax, and sickle.
21 Esto era lo que se cobraba: por afilar la punta de un arado, ocho gramos de plata; por los azadones, ocho gramos de plata; por las hachas o las hoces, cuatro gramos de plata; y por componer las aguijadas, cuatro gramos de plata.
21 The price was one payim each to sharpen mattocks, plowshares, pitchforks, axes, and goads.
22 En todo el ejército de Israel no había una sola espada ni una lanza, salvo las de Saúl y Jonatán.
22 So it came to pass in the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and Jonathan his son had them.
23 Mientras tanto, el paso hacia Micmás había sido tomado por un contingente del ejército filisteo.
23 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… ever, yet now thy kingdom shall not continue for thee; and the Lord will seek Him a man after His own heart, and the Lord will command him to be prince over His people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee," is not to be taken as if God had settled that Saul himself should reign …
