1 Chronicles 10

Defeat and Death of Saul and His Sons

1

 aNow the Philistinesh6430 foughth3898a against Israelh3478; and the menh376 of Israelh3478 fledh5127 beforeh4480h6440 the Philistinesh6430 and fellh5307 slainh2491a on Mounth2022 Gilboah1533.

2

The Philistinesh6430 closelyh1692 pursuedh1692 Saulh7586 and his sonsh1121, and the Philistinesh6430 struckh5221 downh5221 Jonathanh3083,  1 aAbinadabh41 and Malchi-shuah4444, the sonsh1121 of Saulh7586.

3

The battleh4421 becameh3513 heavyh3513 againsth5921 Saulh7586, and the archersh3384h7198  1overtookh4672 him; and he was woundedh2342a by the archersh3384.

4

Then Saulh7586 saidh559 to his armorh3627 bearerh5375, "Drawh8025 your swordh2719 and thrusth1856 me throughh1856 with it, otherwiseh6435 theseh428 uncircumcisedh6189 will comeh935 and abuseh5953a me." But his armorh3627 bearerh5375 wouldh14 not, for he was greatlyh3966 afraidh3372a.  aTherefore Saulh7586 tookh3947 his swordh2719 and fellh5307 on it.

5

When his armorh3627 bearerh5375 sawh7200 that Saulh7586 was deadh4191, he likewiseh1571 fellh5307 on his swordh2719 and diedh4191.

6

 aThus Saulh7586 diedh4191 with his threeh7969 sonsh1121, and allh3605 those of his househ1004 diedh4191 togetherh3164a.

7

When allh3605 the menh376 of Israelh3478 whoh834 were in the valleyh6010 sawh7200 that they had fledh5127, and that Saulh7586 and his sonsh1121 were deadh4191, they forsookh5800a their citiesh5892b and fledh5127; and the Philistinesh6430 cameh935 and livedh3427 in them.

8

It cameh1961 about the nexth4283 dayh4283, when the Philistinesh6430 cameh935 to striph6584 the slainh2491a, that they foundh4672 Saulh7586 and his sonsh1121 fallenh5307 on Mounth2022 Gilboah1533.

9

 aSo they strippedh6584 him and tookh5375 his headh7218 and his armorh3627 and senth7971 messengers aroundh5439 the landh776 of the Philistinesh6430 to carryh1319 the good newsh1319 to their idolsh6091 and to the peopleh5971a.

10

They puth7760 his armorh3627 in the househ1004 of their godsh430 and fastenedh8628 his headh1538 in the househ1004 of Dagonh1712.

Jabesh-gilead's Tribute to Saul

11

When allh3605 Jabesh-gileadh3003h1568 heardh8085 allh3605 that the Philistinesh6430 had doneh6213a to Saulh7586,

12

 aallh3605 the valianth2428 menh376 aroseh6965 and tookh5375 away the bodyh1480 of Saulh7586 and the bodiesh1480 of his sonsh1121 and broughth935 them to Jabeshh3003, and they buriedh6912 their bonesh6106 underh8478 the oakh424 in Jabeshh3003, and fastedh6684 sevenh7651 daysh3117.

13

 aSo Saulh7586 diedh4191 for his trespassh4604 whichh834 he committedh4603 against the LORDh3068, becauseh5921 of the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 he did not keeph8104; and alsoh1571  bbecause he askedh7592 counsel of a mediumh178, makingh1875 inquiryh1875 of it,

14

and did not inquireh1875 of the LORDh3068. Therefore He killedh4191 him and  aturnedh5437 the kingdomh4410 to Davidh1732 the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448.
