1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israels Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne laa rundt om paa Gilboas Bjerg.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him.
Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run it through me, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
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,
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died.
og da Vaabendrageren saa, at Saul var død, styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
6 So Saul died together with his three sons and all his house.
Saaledes fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
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.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende paa Gilboas Bjerg.
9 They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people.
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.
10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.
Vaabnene lagde de i deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
11 When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
12 all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
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.
13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,
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
14 and he failed to inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
og ikke søgt; Raad hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gaa over til David, Isajs Søn.
