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 fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner, og Filisterne ihjelsloge Jonathan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls Sønner.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Og Krigen blev svar imod Saul, og Skytterne, som førte Bue, naaede ham, og han blev saare angst for Skytterne.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason 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.
Then Saul said to his armour bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armour bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 Der hans Vaabendrager saa, at Saul var død, da styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
6 Saa døde Saul og hans tre Sønner og alt hans Hus, de døde til Hobe.
So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
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.
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived 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.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on 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.
They stripped him and took his head and his armour, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news 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.
They put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Der alle de i Jabes udi Gilead hørte alt det, som Filisterne havde gjort imod Saul,
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.
all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak 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.
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to enquire,
14 Og han søgte ikke Herren, derfor dræbte han ham og vendte Riget til David, Isajs Søn.
and didn’t enquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
