Første Krønikebog 10
1 Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israels Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne laa rundt om paa Gilboas Bjerg.
Then the Philistims fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistims, and fell downe slaine in mount Gilboa.
2 Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
And the Philistims pursued after Saul and after his sonnes, and the Philistims smote Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua the sonnes of Saul.
3 Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
And the battel was sore against Saul; and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
4 Da sagde Saul til sin Vaabendrager: »Drag dit Sværd og gennembor mig, for at ikke disse uomskaarne skal komme og mishandle mig!« Men Vaabendrageren vilde ikke, thi han gøs tilbage derfor. Da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig i det,
Then sayde Saul to his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust me thorowe therewith, lest these vncircumcised come and mocke at me: but his armour bearer would not, for he was sore afraid: therefore Saul tooke the sword and fell vpon it.
5 og da Vaabendrageren saa, at Saul var død, styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
And when his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon the sworde, and dyed.
6 Saaledes fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
So Saul dyed and his three sonnes, and all his house, they dyed together.
7 Men da alle Israeliterne i Dalen saa, at Israels Mænd var flygtet, og at Saul og hans Sønner var faldet, forlod de deres Byer og flygtede, hvorpaa Filisterne kom og besatte dem.
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley, sawe how they fledde, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, they forsooke their cities, and fled away, and the Philistims came, and dwelt in them.
8 Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende paa Gilboas Bjerg.
And on the morrowe when the Philistims came to spoyle them that were slaine, they found Saul and his sonnes lying in mount Gilboa.
9 De plyndrede ham da og tog hans Hoved og Vaaben med sig og sendte Bud rundt Filisternes Land for at bringe deres Afguder og Folket Glædesbudet.
And when they had stript him, they tooke his head and his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistims round about, to publish it vnto their idoles, and to the people.
10 Vaabnene lagde de i deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
And they layd vp his armour in the house of their god, and set vp his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
When all they of Iabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistims had done to Saul,
12 brød alle vaabenføre Mænd op, og de tog Sauls og hans Sønners Lig ned, bragte dem med til Jabesj og jordede deres Ben under Terebinten i Jabesj og fastede syv Dage.
Then they arose (all the valiant men) and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, and brought them to Iabesh, and buryed the bones of them vnder an oke in Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.
13 Saaledes døde Saul for den Utroskabs Skyld, han havde vist HERREN, fordi han ikke havde givet Agt paa HERRENS Ord, ogsaa fordi han havde adspurgt en Aand for at faa et Raad
So Saul dyed for his transgression, that he committed against the Lord, euen against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and in that he sought and asked counsel of a familiar spirit,
14 og ikke søgt; Raad hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gaa over til David, Isajs Søn.
And asked not of the Lord: therefore he slewe him, and turned the kingdome vnto Dauid the sonne of Ishai.
