[1]Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898[H8737] against IsraelH3478: and the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127[H8799] from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and fell downH5307[H8799] slainH2491 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533.
[2]And the PhilistinesH6430 followed hardH1692[H8686] upon SaulH7586 and upon his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221[H8686] JonathanH3083, and AbinadabH41, and MalchishuaH4444, Saul'sH7586 sonsH1121.
[3]And the battleH4421 went soreH3513[H8799] against SaulH7586, and the archersH3384[H8688][H582][H7198] hitH4672[H8799] him; and he was soreH3966 woundedH2342[H8799] of the archersH3384[H8688][H582].[H7198]
[4]Then saidH559[H8799] SaulH7586 unto his armourbearerH5375[H8802][H3627], DrawH8025[H8798] thy swordH2719, and thrust me throughH1856[H8798] therewith; lest these uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935[H8799] and thrust me throughH1856[H8804], and abuseH5953[H8694] me. But his armourbearerH5375[H8802][H3627] wouldH14[H8804] not; for he was soreH3966 afraidH3372[H8804]. Therefore 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 upon his swordH2719, and diedH4191 with himH8799.
[6]So SaulH7586 diedH4191[H8799], and his threeH7969 sonsH1121, and his armourbearerH5375[H8802][H3627], and all his menH582, that same dayH3117 togetherH3162.
[7]And when the menH582 of IsraelH3478 that were on the other sideH5676 of the valleyH6010, and they that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, sawH7200[H8799] that the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127[H8804], and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were deadH4191[H8804], they forsookH5800[H8799] the 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 threeH7969 sonsH1121 fallenH5307[H8802] in mountH2022 GilboaH1533.
[9]And they cut offH3772[H8799] his headH7218, and stripped offH6584[H8686] his armourH3627, and sentH7971[H8762] into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 round aboutH5439, to publishH1319[H8763] it in the houseH1004 of their idolsH6091, and among the peopleH5971.
[10]And they putH7760[H8799] his armourH3627 in the houseH1004 of AshtarothH6252[H8677][H1045]: and they fastenedH8628[H8804] his bodyH1472 to the wallH2346 of BethshanH1052.
[11]And when the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of JabeshgileadH3003[H1568] heardH8085[H8799] of that which the PhilistinesH6430 had doneH6213[H8804] to SaulH7586;
[12]All the valiantH2428 menH376[H8677][H381] aroseH6965[H8799], and wentH3212[H8799] all nightH3915, and tookH3947[H8799] the bodyH1472 of SaulH7586 and the bodiesH1472 of his sonsH1121 from the wallH2346 of BethshanH1052, and cameH935[H8799] to JabeshH3003, and burntH8313 them thereH8799.
[13]And they tookH3947[H8799] their bonesH6106, and buriedH6912[H8799] them under a treeH815 at JabeshH3003, and fastedH6684[H8799] sevenH7651 daysH3117.
