13:1

בֶּן־שָׁנָה שָׁאוּל בְּמׇלְכוֹ וּשְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים מָלַךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

One year was Shaul in his reign, and he reigned over Yisroel for two years.

One year was Shaul in his reign, and he reigned over Yisroel for two years.

Rashi

בן שנה שאול במלכו. אמרו רבותינו ז"ל (יומא כב ב): כבן שנה, שלא טעם טעם חטא. ויש לפתור: בן שנה שאול במלכו, בשנה ראשונה שהומלך בה, והוא מלך שתי שנים על ישראל, ובשנה ראשונה, מיד: ויבחר לו שאול שלשת אלפים:

One year was Shaul in his reign. Our Rabbis, of sainted memory, said,1 Maseches Yoma 22b. [Shaul was] like a one year old, who did not experience the taste of sin. It may also be interpreted, "Shaul was a year in his reign," i.e., in the first year in which he was made king, though he actually ruled over Yisroel two years, in the first year, immediately, "Shaul chose for himself three thousand [men]."

13:2

וַיִּבְחַר־לוֹ שָׁאוּל שְׁלֹשֶׁת אֲלָפִים מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּהְיוּ עִם־שָׁאוּל אַלְפַּיִם בְּמִכְמָשׂ וּבְהַר בֵּֽית־אֵל וְאֶלֶף הָיוּ עִם־יוֹנָתָן בְּגִבְעַת בִּנְיָמִין וְיֶתֶר הָעָם שִׁלַּח אִישׁ לְאֹהָלָֽיו׃

Shaul chose for himself three thousand [men] from Yisroel. Two thousand were with Shaul at Michmos and at Mount Beis Eil, and one thousand were with Yonoson at Givas Binyomin; and the rest of the people he sent off, each man to his tent.

Shaul chose for himself three thousand [men] from Yisroel. Two thousand were with Shaul at Michmos and at Mount Beis Eil, and one thousand were with Yonoson at Givas Binyomin; and the rest of the people he sent off, each man to his tent.

13:3

וַיַּךְ יוֹנָתָן אֵת נְצִיב פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֲשֶׁר בְּגֶבַע וַֽיִּשְׁמְעוּ פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְשָׁאוּל תָּקַע בַּשּׁוֹפָר בְּכׇל־הָאָרֶץ לֵאמֹר יִשְׁמְעוּ הָעִבְרִֽים׃

Yonoson slew the Philistine governor in Geva, and the Philistines heard about it. Shaul blew the shofar throughout the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

Yonoson slew the Philistine governor in Geva, and the Philistines heard about it. Shaul blew the shofar throughout the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."

Rashi

את נציב פלשתים. סרדיוט שהיה להם על ישראל, והושיבוהו בגבעת בנימן:

The Philistine governor. They had a government official [who ruled] over Yisroel and they stationed him in Givas Binyomin.2Yonoson assassinated him as an open act of rebellion against the Philistines.—Radak

ישמעו העברים. שמרדנו בפלשתים, וישמרו מהם:

Let the Hebrews hear. That we have rebelled against the Philistines and they should beware of them.

13:4

וְכׇל־יִשְׂרָאֵל שָׁמְעוּ לֵאמֹר הִכָּה שָׁאוּל אֶת־נְצִיב פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְגַם־נִבְאַשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּפְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיִּצָּעֲקוּ הָעָם אַחֲרֵי שָׁאוּל הַגִּלְגָּֽל׃

All Yisroel heard, saying, "Shaul had killed the Philistine governor, and that Yisroel has become hateful to the Philistines." The people were called up to follow Shaul to Gilgol.

All Yisroel heard, saying, "Shaul had killed the Philistine governor, and that Yisroel has become hateful to the Philistines." The people were called up to follow Shaul to Gilgol.

Rashi

וגם נבאש ישראל. נבאש ריחם בפלשתים, לשון 'שנאה':

And that Yisroel has become hateful. Literally, they have come in bad odor with the Philistines, an expression of hatred.

אחרי שאול הגלגל. הוא שאמר לו שמואל (לעיל י ח) וירדת לפני הגלגל:

To follow Shaul to Gilgol. This is what Shmuel had said to him, "you shall go down to Gilgol ahead of me."3Above 10:8.

13:5

וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נֶאֶסְפוּ ׀ לְהִלָּחֵם עִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלֹשִׁים אֶלֶף רֶכֶב וְשֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים פָּרָשִׁים וְעָם כַּחוֹל אֲשֶׁר עַל־שְׂפַֽת־הַיָּם לָרֹב וַֽיַּעֲלוּ וַיַּחֲנוּ בְמִכְמָשׂ קִדְמַת בֵּית אָֽוֶן׃

The Philistines gathered to wage war against Yisroel; thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand of the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmos, to the east of Beis Oven.

The Philistines gathered to wage war against Yisroel; thirty thousand chariots, six thousand horsemen, and troops as numerous as the sand of the seashore. They went up and camped at Michmos, to the east of Beis Oven.

Rashi

קדמת בית און. במזרח בית און:

To the east of Beis Oven. [קִדְמַת] meaning the east of Beis Oven.

13:6

וְאִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל רָאוּ כִּי צַר־לוֹ כִּי נִגַּשׂ הָעָם וַיִּֽתְחַבְּאוּ הָעָם בַּמְּעָרוֹת וּבַֽחֲוָחִים וּבַסְּלָעִים וּבַצְּרִחִים וּבַבֹּרֽוֹת׃

The men of Yisroel saw that they were in distress, for the people were in dire straits, so the people hid in caves, in thorn bushes, among rocks, in towers and in pits.

The men of Yisroel saw that they were in distress, for the people were in dire straits, so the people hid in caves, in thorn bushes, among rocks, in towers and in pits.

Rashi

ובחוחים. מקום קבוצת חוחים, שפנ"י בלע"ז:

In thorn bushes. A place where thorns are concentrated; espineid in O.F.

ובצרחים. פליישי"ץ בלע"ז:

In the towers. Pleisiz in O.F.

ובבורות. גומות:

And in pits. Cisterns.

13:7

וְעִבְרִים עָֽבְרוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן אֶרֶץ גָּד וְגִלְעָד וְשָׁאוּל עוֹדֶנּוּ בַגִּלְגָּל וְכׇל־הָעָם חָֽרְדוּ אַחֲרָֽיו׃

Some Hebrews crossed the Yardein to the land of Gad and Gilad. Shaul was still in Gilgol, and all the people hurried after him.

Some Hebrews crossed the Yardein to the land of Gad and Gilad. Shaul was still in Gilgol, and all the people hurried after him.

Rashi

עברו את הירדן ארץ גד. לברוח מפני פלשתים, שהפלשתים היו בארץ כנען בעבר הירדן ימה:

Crossed the Yardein to the land of Gad. To escape from the Philistines, because the Philistines were in the land of Canaan on the west side of the Yardein.

חרדו אחריו. מהרו ללכת אחריו:

Hurried after him. They hurried to go after him.4 I.e., to join forces with Shaul.

13:8

(וייחל) [וַיּוֹחֶל ׀] שִׁבְעַת יָמִים לַמּוֹעֵד אֲשֶׁר שְׁמוּאֵל וְלֹא־בָא שְׁמוּאֵל הַגִּלְגָּל וַיָּפֶץ הָעָם מֵעָלָֽיו׃

He waited seven days, till the time set by Shmuel; but Shmuel did not come to Gilgol, so the people disbanded from him.

He waited seven days, till the time set by Shmuel; but Shmuel did not come to Gilgol, so the people disbanded from him.

Rashi

ויוחל. המתין:

He waited. He waited.5 See Bereishis 8:10.

למועד אשר שמואל. הרי זה מקרא חסר תיבה אחת, למועד אשר שם שמואל' או למועד אשר לשמואל, ודוגמא לו (שמואל-ב ד ב): ושני אנשים שרי גדודים היו בן שאול, היה לו לכתוב לבן שאול, אף כאן אשר לשמואל, שאמר לו (לעיל י ח) שבעת ימים תוחל עד בואי אליך:

Till the time set by Shmuel. This verse has a missing word. [The verse means to say], "till the appointed time set by Shmuel," or "to the appointed time of Shmuel." An example of this is, "And two men, officers of troops were the son of Shaul." Scripture should have written, "were to the son of Shaul."6 II Shmuel 4:2. Here too, "which was set by Shmuel," who had said to him, "Wait seven days until I come to you."7Above 10:8.

13:9

וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל הַגִּשׁוּ אֵלַי הָעֹלָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים וַיַּעַל הָעֹלָֽה׃

Shaul said, "Bring me the burnt-offering and the peace-offering." And he sacrificed the burnt-offering.

Shaul said, "Bring me the burnt-offering and the peace-offering." And he sacrificed the burnt-offering.

Rashi

הגישו אלי העולה. זר מותר להקריב בבמה:

Bring me the burnt-offering. A non-kohein is permitted to sacrifice on a high place.

13:10

וַיְהִי כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְהַעֲלוֹת הָעֹלָה וְהִנֵּה שְׁמוּאֵל בָּא וַיֵּצֵא שָׁאוּל לִקְרָאתוֹ לְבָרְכֽוֹ׃

Just as he finished sacrificing the burnt-offering, behold, Shmuel came, and Shaul went out to meet and greet him.

Just as he finished sacrificing the burnt-offering, behold, Shmuel came, and Shaul went out to meet and greet him.

13:11

וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל מֶה עָשִׂיתָ וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל כִּֽי־רָאִיתִי כִֽי־נָפַץ הָעָם מֵעָלַי וְאַתָּה לֹֽא־בָאתָ לְמוֹעֵד הַיָּמִים וּפְלִשְׁתִּים נֶאֱסָפִים מִכְמָֽשׂ׃

Shmuel said, "What have you done?" And Shaul said, "Because I saw that the people were disbanding from me, and you had not come at the appointed day, and that the Philistines were gathering at Michmos.

Shmuel said, "What have you done?" And Shaul said, "Because I saw that the people were disbanding from me, and you had not come at the appointed day, and that the Philistines were gathering at Michmos.

Rashi

מה עשית. הלא אמרתי לך הנני יורד אליך להעלות העולה, אני אעלה אותה, ולא אתה:

What have you done? Did I not say to you, "I will go down to you to offer the burnt-offering?" I will offer it up, and not you.

למועד הימים. בתחלת היום:

At the appointed day. At the beginning of the [appointed] day.

13:12

וָאֹמַר עַתָּה יֵרְדוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים אֵלַי הַגִּלְגָּל וּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה לֹא חִלִּיתִי וָֽאֶתְאַפַּק וָאַעֲלֶה הָעֹלָֽה׃ {ס}        

And I said [to myself], 'Now the Philistines will descend upon me at Gilgol, and I have not supplicated before Adonoy, so I forced myself and sacrificed the burnt-offering.'"

And I said [to myself], 'Now the Philistines will descend upon me at Gilgol, and I have not supplicated before Adonoy, so I forced myself and sacrificed the burnt-offering.'"

Rashi

ואתאפק. נתחזקתי על רצוני, שהיה לבי אומר להמתין לך, על כרחי העמדתי את לבי ואעלה העולה:

So I forced myself. I overcame my will, for my heart told me to wait for you, and against my will I suppressed my heart, and offered the burnt-offering.8 Shaul realized that it was not proper for him to offer the sacrifice. But he saw that the people who had gathered became impatient and began to desert him for his not taking action. Therefore, in desperation he overcame his inclination to wait longer for Shmuel’s arrival and acted against his better judgement.

13:13

וַיֹּאמֶר שְׁמוּאֵל אֶל־שָׁאוּל נִסְכָּלְתָּ לֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֶת־מִצְוַת יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר צִוָּךְ כִּי עַתָּה הֵכִין יְהֹוָה אֶת־מַֽמְלַכְתְּךָ אֶל־יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

Shmuel said to Shaul, "You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Adonoy, your God, that He commanded you. For now Adonoy would have established your kingship over Yisroel forever.

Shmuel said to Shaul, "You have acted foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Adonoy, your God, that He commanded you. For now Adonoy would have established your kingship over Yisroel forever.

Rashi

כי עתה. לפני עשותך זאת:

For now. Before you had done this,

הכין ה' את ממלכתך עד עולם. שכשפוסקין לו גדולה לאדם, פוסקין לו ולדורותיו (מגילה יג ב):

Adonoy would have established your kingship … forever. Because when a high position is assigned to a person, it is assigned to him and to his descendants.9 See Maseches Megillah 13b.

13:14

וְעַתָּה מַמְלַכְתְּךָ לֹֽא־תָקוּם בִּקֵּשׁ יְהֹוָה לוֹ אִישׁ כִּלְבָבוֹ וַיְצַוֵּהוּ יְהֹוָה לְנָגִיד עַל־עַמּוֹ כִּי לֹא שָׁמַרְתָּ אֵת אֲשֶֽׁר־צִוְּךָ יְהֹוָֽה׃ {ס}        

But now your kingship shall not endure. Adonoy has sought for Himself a man after His own heart and He appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not observed that which Adonoy commanded you.

But now your kingship shall not endure. Adonoy has sought for Himself a man after His own heart and He appointed him as ruler over His people, because you have not observed that which Adonoy commanded you.

Rashi

ועתה ממלכתך לא תקום. שכן אמר משה בתורה (דברים יז כ): לבלתי סור מן המצוה ימין ושמאל למען יאריך ימים וגו', הא אם סר, לא יאריך ימים, ואם תאמר לא על מצות נביא נאמר, אלא על מצות התורה, הרי כבר נאמר (שם שם): לשמור את כל דברי התורה הזאת, ואחר כך: לבלתי רום לבבו ולבלתי סור מן המצוה, אפילו ממצות נביא:

But now, your kingship shall not endure. Because Moshe said so in the Torah, "[and] he does not stray from the commandment right or left, so that days of his reign are lengthy…."10 Devarim 17:20. Hence, if he does stray, the days [of his reign] will not be lengthy. And if you will argue that this was not said in reference to a Prophet's commandment, but only in reference to a commandment of the Torah, [I will answer that] it was already stated, "[and] to guard every word of this Torah" and afterwards, "that his pride not increase… and he turn not stray from the commandment"11Devarim 18:19. And now that you failed to obey the commandment of ‘ה to obey His word as delivered by His prophets, you will be held accountable for your actions. [to include] even a prophet's commandment.

13:15

וַיָּקׇם שְׁמוּאֵל וַיַּעַל מִן־הַגִּלְגָּל גִּבְעַת בִּנְיָמִן וַיִּפְקֹד שָׁאוּל אֶת־הָעָם הַנִּמְצְאִים עִמּוֹ כְּשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת אִֽישׁ׃

Shmuel rose and went up from Gilgol to Givas Binyomin. Shaul counted the people who were [still] with him: about six hundred men.

Shmuel rose and went up from Gilgol to Givas Binyomin. Shaul counted the people who were [still] with him: about six hundred men.

Rashi

הנמצאים עמו. כי העם נפוצו מעליו, ואלו נשתיירו:

Who were [still] with him. For the people had scattered from him, and these remained.

13:16

וְשָׁאוּל וְיוֹנָתָן בְּנוֹ וְהָעָם הַנִּמְצָא עִמָּם יֹשְׁבִים בְּגֶבַע בִּנְיָמִן וּפְלִשְׁתִּים חָנוּ בְמִכְמָֽשׂ׃

Shaul and his son Yonoson, and the people who were with them, were staying in Givas Binyomin, while the Philistines were camped at Michmos.

13:17

וַיֵּצֵא הַמַּשְׁחִית מִמַּחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים שְׁלֹשָׁה רָאשִׁים הָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה אֶל־דֶּרֶךְ עׇפְרָה אֶל־אֶרֶץ שׁוּעָֽל׃

The raiders came out of the Philistine camp in three forces. One force turned toward the road to Ophroh, to the land of Shual;

The raiders came out of the Philistine camp in three forces. One force turned toward the road to Ophroh, to the land of Shual;

13:18

וְהָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה דֶּרֶךְ בֵּית חֹרוֹן וְהָרֹאשׁ אֶחָד יִפְנֶה דֶּרֶךְ הַגְּבוּל הַנִּשְׁקָף עַל־גֵּי הַצְּבֹעִים הַמִּדְבָּֽרָה׃ {ס}        

And one force turned toward the road to Beis Choron; and one force turned toward the road of the border which overlooks the Valley of the Tzevo'im, toward the desert.

And one force turned toward the road to Beis Choron; and one force turned toward the road of the border which overlooks the Valley of the Tzevo'im, toward the desert.

Rashi

גי הצבועים. שמצויין בו הצבועים, הוא ששנינו, רבי מאיר אומר: אף הצבוע. ותרגם יונתן: אפעיא. וכן פירשו רבותינו ז"ל (בבא קמא טז א): צבוע זה אפעה, מין שרץ רע ומזיק:

The Valley of the Tzvo'im. Where the Tzvo'im are found. This is the animal referred to by R. Meir when he said, 'also the '.12 Maseches Bava Kama 16a.צָּבוֹעַ Targum Yonoson renders, ''13 Perhaps it is the hyena or the fox.אֲפָעַיָא and so did our Rabbis of sainted memory, explain, צָבוֹעַ is ,14 A particular species of snake.אֶפְעֶה a species of fierce and destructive animals.

13:19

וְחָרָשׁ לֹא יִמָּצֵא בְּכֹל אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּֽי־[אָמְרוּ] (אמר) פְלִשְׁתִּים פֶּן יַעֲשׂוּ הָעִבְרִים חֶרֶב אוֹ חֲנִֽית׃

A blacksmith was not to be found anywhere in the entire land of Yisroel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews produce a sword or spear."

Rashi

וחרש לא ימצא. לא היה מצוי בתחלת מלכות שאול, כי הפלשתים המושלים בישראל, העבירו כל חרשי ברזל מישראל, פן יעשו כלי זיין להלחם:

A blacksmith was not to be found. I.e., was not available at the beginning of Shaul's reign, because the Philistines who ruled over Yisroel, eliminated all the iron smiths from Yisroel, lest they make weapons to wage war.

13:20

וַיֵּרְדוּ כׇל־יִשְׂרָאֵל הַפְּלִשְׁתִּים לִלְטוֹשׁ אִישׁ אֶת־מַחֲרַשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת־אֵתוֹ וְאֶת־קַרְדֻּמּוֹ וְאֵת מַחֲרֵשָׁתֽוֹ׃

And all of Yisroel would go down to the Philistines, each man to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe and his tools.

Rashi

והיתה הפצירה פים למחרשות. והיתה להם לאותם שהיה להם טורח לרדת אל הפלשתים ללטוש, היתה הפצירה פים לימ"א בלע"ז, שיש לה הפצר פיות, כלומר פיות וחידודים הרבה, היתה להם לחדד המחרשת והאתים:

There was a multi-edged file that was used for the tools. For those who found it troublesome to go down to the Philistines to sharpen, had the פְּצִירָה פִים, lime in O.F., which has many mouths, i.e. many sharp and jagged surfaces to sharpen the tools and mattocks.

ולשלש קלשון. מזלג עשוי כמין עתר, שקורין פורקד"א, ולו שלש שינים:

Rashi

מצב פלשתים. דרך אנשי צבא לעשות מהם מצב ומשחית, הם הפושטים ורצים אחר השלל אל העיר, שקורין צנבי"ל בלע"ז:

A Philistine garrison. It is the custom of soldiers to form a garrison and a raiding party, [the latter] spread out into a city and seek its plunder. It is called 'cenbel' in O.F.

מצב. הם נציבים לשמור שלא יצאו מן העיר משחיתים בהם:

Garrison. They are the ones who stand guard that no raiders come out of the city against them.

אל מעבר מכמש. הפלשתים היו חונים במכמש, ומכמש בהר, וישראל בעיר ששמה גבע וגבע היתה בראש ההר, ושני הרים היו זה כנגד זה, והגיא ביניהם, כמו שאמור בענין. ומצב פלשתים נגש אל עבר מכמש שלצד גבע, אל הגיא שביניהם:

Towards the Pass of Michmos. The Philistines were camped in Michmos, and Michmos was on a mountain. Yisroel was in a city named Geva, and Geva was also on top of a mountain, and those two mountains were opposite each other. The valley was between them, as is stated in this episode, "and the Phillistine garrison went out toward the Pass of Michmos," which is on the side toward Geva, to the valley between them.
