1 Samuel 13:14 in Context — 1 Samuel 13

12 Disse-me: Os filisteus descerão agora contra mim a Gilgal, e eu não implorei o favor do SENHOR. Esforcei-me pois, e ofereci holocausto.

13 Então Samuel disse a Saul: Loucamente fizeste; não guardaste o mandamento do SENHOR teu Deus, que ele te havia intimado; porque agora o SENHOR teria confirmado teu reino sobre Israel para sempre.

14 Mas agora teu reino não será durável: o SENHOR buscou para si homem segundo seu coração, ao qual o SENHOR mandou que seja líder sobre seu povo, porquanto tu não guardaste o que o SENHOR te mandou.

15 E levantando-se Samuel, subiu de Gilgal a Gibeá de Benjamim. E Saul contou a gente que se achava com ele, como seiscentos homens.

16 Então Saul e Jônatas seu filho, e o povo que com eles se achava, ficaram em Gibeá de Benjamim: mas os filisteus haviam posto seu acampamento em Micmás.
