[1]Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898[H8738] against IsraelH3478; and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127[H8799] from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and fell downH5307[H8799] slainH2491 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533.
[2]And the PhilistinesH6430 followed hardH1692[H8686] afterH310 SaulH7586, and afterH310 his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221[H8686] JonathanH3129, and AbinadabH41, and MalchishuaH4444, the sonsH1121 of SaulH7586.
[3]And the battleH4421 went soreH3513[H8799] against SaulH7586, and the archersH3384[H8688][H7198] hitH4672[H8799] him, and he was woundedH2342[H8799] of the archersH3384.[H8802]
[4]Then saidH559[H8799] SaulH7586 to his armourbearerH5375[H8802][H3627], DrawH8025[H8798] thy swordH2719, and thrustH1856[H8798] me through therewith; lest these uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935[H8799] and abuseH5953[H8694] me. But his armourbearerH5375[H8802][H3627] wouldH14[H8804] not; for he was soreH3966 afraidH3372[H8804]. So SaulH7586 tookH3947[H8799] a swordH2719, and fellH5307 upon itH8799.
[5]And when his armourbearerH5375[H8802][H3627] sawH7200[H8799] that SaulH7586 was deadH4191[H8804], he fellH5307[H8799] likewise on the swordH2719, and diedH4191.[H8799]
[6]So SaulH7586 diedH4191[H8799], and his threeH7969 sonsH1121, and all his houseH1004 diedH4191[H8804] togetherH3162.
[7]And when all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 that were in the valleyH6010 sawH7200[H8799] that they fledH5127[H8804], and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were deadH4191[H8804], then they forsookH5800[H8799] their citiesH5892, and fledH5127[H8799]: and the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935[H8799] and dweltH3427 in themH8799.
[8]And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, when the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935[H8799] to stripH6584[H8763] the slainH2491, that they foundH4672[H8799] SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 fallenH5307[H8802] in mountH2022 GilboaH1533.
[9]And when they had strippedH6584[H8686] him, they tookH5375[H8799] his headH7218, and his armourH3627, and sentH7971[H8762] into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 round aboutH5439, to carry tidingsH1319[H8763] unto their idolsH6091, and to the peopleH5971.
[10]And they putH7760[H8799] his armourH3627 in the houseH1004 of their godsH430, and fastenedH8628[H8804] his headH1538 in the templeH1004 of DagonH1712.
[11]And when all JabeshgileadH3003[H1568] heardH8085[H8799] all that the PhilistinesH6430 had doneH6213[H8804] to SaulH7586,
[12]They aroseH6965[H8799], all the valiantH2428 menH376, and took awayH5375[H8799] the bodyH1480 of SaulH7586, and the bodiesH1480 of his sonsH1121, and broughtH935[H8686] them to JabeshH3003, and buriedH6912[H8799] their bonesH6106 under the oakH424 in JabeshH3003, and fastedH6684[H8799] sevenH7651 daysH3117.
[13]So SaulH7586 diedH4191[H8799] for his transgressionH4604 which he committedH4603[H8804] against the LORDH3068, even against the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he keptH8104[H8804] not, and also for askingH7592[H8800] counsel of one that had a familiar spiritH178, to enquireH1875 of itH8800;
[14]And enquiredH1875[H8804] not of the LORDH3068: therefore he slewH4191[H8686] him, and turnedH5437[H8686] the kingdomH4410 unto DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448.
