1 Samuel 13:6New Messianic Version BibleWhen the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] 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. See the chapter |
Moreover the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] passed over Yarden [Descender] to fight also against Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and against Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], and against the house of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful]; so that Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was sore distressed.
And when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] heard that the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] were gathered together to Mitzpah [Watchtower], the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] went up against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. And when the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] heard [it], they were afraid of the P’lishtim [Immigrants].
Now the pit wherein Yishma’el [God will hear] had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of G’dalyahu [Yehovah is great], [was] it which Asa [healer; injurious?] the king had made for fear of Ba’sha [wicked] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: [and] Yishma’el [God will hear] the son of N’tanyah [given of Yehovah] filled it with [them that were] slain.
Say youi thus unto them, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER); [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that [be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
And when the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side Yarden [Descender], saw that the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] fled, and that Sha’ul [desired] and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came and dwelt in them.
