Første Krønikebog 10
1 Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israeals Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne lå rundt om på Gilboas Bjerg.
Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
2 Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines struck Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
3 Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
4 Da sagde Saul til sin Våbendrager: "Drag dit Sværd og gennembor mig, for at ikke disse uomskårne skal komme og mishandle mig!" Men Våbendrageren vilde ikke, thi han gøs tilbage derfor. Da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig i det,
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 og da Våbendrageren så, at Saul var død, styrtede også han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
6 Således fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
7 Men da alle Israeliteme i Dalen så, at Israels Mænd var flygtet, og at Saul og hans Sønner var faldet, forlod de deres Byer og flygtede, hvorpå Filisterne kom og besatte dem.
And all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, and they left their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende på Gilboas Bjerg.
And it came to pass on the next [day] that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gelbue.
9 De plyndrede ham da og tog hans hoved og Våben med sig og sendte Bud rundt iilisternes Land for at bringe deres Afguder og Folket Glædesbudet.
And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.
10 Våbnene lagde dei deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
And they put their armor in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
12 brød alle våbenføre 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 mighty men rose up from Galaad, and they took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabis, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabis, and fasted seven days.
13 Således døde Saul for den Utroskabs Skyld, han havde vist HERREN, fordi han ikke havde givet Agt på HERRENs Ord, også fordi han havde adspurgt en Ånd for at få et Råd
So Saul died for his transgressions, wherein he transgressed against God, against the word of the Lord, forasmuch as he kept [it] not, because Saul enquired of a wizard to seek [counsel], and Samuel the prophet answered him:
14 og ikke søgt; Råd hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gå over til David, Isajs Søn.
and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
