撒母耳记上 31
1 非利士人与以色列人争战。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被杀仆倒的。
And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelboe.
2 非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们，就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达、麦基舒亚。
And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
And the whole weight of the battle was turned upon Saul: and the archers overtook him, and he was grievously wounded by the archers.
4 就吩咐拿他兵器的人说：“你拔出刀来，将我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。”但拿兵器的人甚惧怕，不肯刺他；扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。
Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
5 拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him.
6 这样，扫罗和他三个儿子，与拿他兵器的人，以及跟随他的人，都一同死亡。
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，也就弃城逃跑。非利士人便来住在其中。
And the men of Israel, that were beyond the valley, and beyond the Jordan, seeing that the Israelites were fled, and that Saul was dead, and his sons, forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came, and dwelt there.
8 次日，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，
And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe.
9 就割下他的首级，剥了他的军装，打发人到非利士地的四境，报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民；
And they cut off Saul’s head, and stripped him of his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the temples of their idols, and among their people.
10 又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯·珊的城墙上。
And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan.
11 基列·雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，
Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯·珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了；
All the most valiant men arose, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the wall of Bethsan: and they came to Jabes Galaad, and burnt them there:
13 将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
And they took their bones and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.
