撒母耳記上 31
1 非利士人與以色列人爭戰。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被殺仆倒的。
And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelboe.
2 非利士人緊追掃羅和他兒子們，就殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達、麥基舒亞。
And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
3 勢派甚大，掃羅被弓箭手追上，射傷甚重，
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說：「你拔出刀來，將我刺死，免得那些未受割禮的人來刺我，凌辱我。」但拿兵器的人甚懼怕，不肯刺他；掃羅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 拿兵器的人見掃羅已死，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 這樣，掃羅和他三個兒子，與拿他兵器的人，以及跟隨他的人，都一同死亡。
So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 住平原那邊並約旦河西的以色列人，見以色列軍兵逃跑，掃羅和他兒子都死了，也就棄城逃跑。非利士人便來住在其中。
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，非利士人來剝那被殺之人的衣服，看見掃羅和他三個兒子仆倒在基利波山，
And on the morrow the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons lying in mount Gelboe.
9 就割下他的首級，剝了他的軍裝，打發人到 非利士地的四境，報信與他們廟裏的偶像和眾民；
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 又將掃羅的軍裝放在亞斯她錄廟裏，將他的屍身釘在伯‧珊的城牆上。
And they put his armour in the temple of Astaroth, but his body they hung on the wall of Bethsan.
11 基列‧雅比的居民聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事，
Now when the inhabitants of Jabes Galaad had heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 他們中間所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，將掃羅和他兒子的屍身從伯‧珊城牆上取下來，送到雅比那裏，用火燒了；
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 將他們骸骨葬在雅比的垂絲柳樹下，就禁食七日。
And they took their bones and buried them in the wood of Jabes: and fasted seven days.
