Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
With what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be consumed, both you and your king.
Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; of which 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.
