Første Krønikebog 10
1 Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israels Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne laa rundt om paa Gilboas Bjerg.
And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
2 Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
3 Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
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,
and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come — and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;
5 og da Vaabendrageren saa, at Saul var død, styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
6 Saaledes fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
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 all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende paa Gilboas Bjerg.
And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen 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 strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people,
10 Vaabnene lagde de i deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
11 Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have 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.
and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
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
And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit — to inquire, —
14 og ikke søgt; Raad hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gaa over til David, Isajs Søn.
and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
