Saul was … years old when he began to reign; and he reigned … and two years over Israel.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old; you shall take it from the sheep or from the goats;
“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
But if you still do wickedly, you shall be swept away, both you and your king.”
Saul chose three thousand men of Israel; two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibe-ah of Benjamin; the rest of the people he sent home, every man to his tent.
