Første Krønikebog 10
1 Og Filisterne strede imod Israel, og Israels Mænd flyede for Filisternes Ansigt og faldt ihjelslagne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
Now, the Philistines, fought against Israel, —and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and the wounded fell in Mount Gilboa.
2 Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner, og Filisterne ihjelsloge Jonathan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls Sønner.
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons, —and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul.
3 Og Krigen blev svar imod Saul, og Skytterne, som førte Bue, naaede ham, og han blev saare angst for Skytterne.
And the battle, went sore, against Saul, and the archers discovered him with the bow, —and he was terrified because of the archers.
4 Da sagde Saul til sin Vaabendrager: Drag dit Sværd ud og stik mig igennem dermed, at ikke disse uomskaarne skulle komme og handle ilde med mig; men hans Vaabendrager vilde ikke, thi han frygtede saare; da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig deri.
Therefore said Saul unto his armour-bearer, Draw out thy sword and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly, —so then Saul took the sword, and fell upon it.
5 Der hans Vaabendrager saa, at Saul var død, da styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
And, when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then, he also, fell upon the sword, and died.
6 Saa døde Saul og hans tre Sønner og alt hans Hus, de døde til Hobe.
So Saul died, and his three sons, and, all his house, together, died.
7 Der alle Israels Mænd, som vare i Dalen, saa, at de flyede, og at Saul og hans Sønner vare døde, da forlode de deres Stæder og flyede, og Filisterne kom og boede i dem.
And, when all the men of Israel that were in the vale saw, that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then forsook they their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Og det skete den anden Dag, da Filisterne kom til at plyndre de ihjelslagne, da fandt de Saul og hans Sønner faldne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
And it came to pass, on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, —that they found Saul, and his sons, lying prostrate in Mount Gilboa.
9 Og de udplyndrede ham og toge hans Hoved og hans Vaaben, og de sendte hen i Filisternes Land trindt omkring for at bringe Budskab derom til deres Afguder og til Folket.
So they stript him, and took his head, and his armour, —and sent throughout the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
10 Og de lagde hans Vaaben i deres Guds Hus og fæstede hans Hjerne skal paa Dagons Hus.
And they put his armour, in the house of their gods, —but, his skull, fastened they up, in the house of Dagon.
11 Der alle de i Jabes udi Gilead hørte alt det, som Filisterne havde gjort imod Saul,
And, when all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 da gjorde alle stridbare Mænd sig rede og toge Sauls Legeme og hans Sønners Legemer, og de førte dem til Jabes, og de begrove deres Ben under Egen i Jabes og fastede i syv Dage.
then rose up all the men of valour, and took away the corpse of Saul, and the corpses of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, —and buried their bodies under the terebinth, in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Saa døde Saul i sin Forsyndelse, som han havde begaaet imod Herren, fordi han ikke havde holdt Herrens Ord, men han havde endog adspurgt og søgt Spaakvinden.
Thus died Saul, for his unfaithfulness wherewith he dealt unfaithfully against Yahweh, over the word of Yahweh, which he kept not, —and, also, in asking by necromancy when he desired to enquire;
14 Og han søgte ikke Herren, derfor dræbte han ham og vendte Riget til David, Isajs Søn.
and enquired not of Yahweh, wherefore he slew him, —and turned round the kingdom unto David, son of Jesse.
