1 Samuel 13:1
13:1 Saul reigned {a} one year; and when he had reigned {b} two
     years over Israel,

     (a) While these things were done.
     (b) Before he took upon himself the state of a king.

1 Samuel 13:3
13:3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that
     [was] in {c} Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And
     Saul blew the {d} trumpet throughout all the land, saying,
     Let the Hebrews hear.

     (c) Of Kirjath-jearim, where the ark was, 1 Samuel 10:5.
     (d) That everyone should prepare themselves to fight.

1 Samuel 13:5
13:5 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 {e} Bethaven.

     (e) Which was also called Beth-el, in the tribe of
         Benjamin.

1 Samuel 13:7
13:7 And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of
     {f} Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal,
     and all the people followed him trembling.

     (f) Where the two tribes and the half remained.

1 Samuel 13:8
13:8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that
     Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and
     the people were {g} scattered from him.

     (g) Thinking that the absence of the prophet was a sign,
         that they would lose the victory.

1 Samuel 13:11
13:11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said,
      Because I saw that the people were {h} scattered from me,
      and [that] thou camest not within the days appointed, and
      [that] the Philistines gathered themselves together at
      Michmash;

      (h) Though these causes seem sufficient in man's judgment:
          yet because they had not the word of God, they turned
          to his destruction.

1 Samuel 13:13
13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou
      hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy {i} God,
      which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have
      established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.

      (i) Who willed you to obey him, and rest on the words
          spoken by his prophet.

1 Samuel 13:14
13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath
      sought him a {k} 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.

      (k) That is, David.

1 Samuel 13:15
13:15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto {l}
      Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that
      were] present with him, about six hundred men.

      (l) And went to his city Ramah.

1 Samuel 13:18
13:18 And another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron: and {m}
      another company turned [to] the way of the border that
      looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

      (m) So that to man's judgment these three armies would
          have overrun the whole country.

1 Samuel 13:22
13:22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was
      neither {n} 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.

      (n) To declare that the victory only came from God, and
          not by their force.
