Saul was thirty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats:
Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
And Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mount of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
