< Chronicles I 10 >

1 Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
And [the] Philistines they fought against Israel and he fled [the] man of Israel from before [the] Philistines and they fell slain on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
And they pursued closely [the] Philistines after Saul and after sons his and they struck down [the] Philistines Jonathan and Abinadab and Malki-Shua [the] sons of Saul.
3 And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
And it was heavy the battle on Saul and they found him the archers with the bow and he was in severe pain from the archers.
4 And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
And he said Saul to [the] bearer of weapons his draw out sword your - and pierce through me with it lest they should come the uncircumcised [men] these and they will deal wantonly with me and not he was willing [the] bearer of weapons his for he was afraid exceedingly. And he took Saul the sword and he fell on it.
5 And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
And he saw [the] bearer of weapons his that he had died Saul and he fell also he on the sword and he died.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
And he died Saul and three of sons his and all household his together they died.
7 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 dwelt in them.
And they saw every man of Israel who [was] in the valley that they had fled and that they had died Saul and sons his and they abandoned cities their and they fled and they came [the] Philistines and they dwelt in them.
8 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.
And it was from [the] next day and they came [the] Philistines to strip the [ones] slain and they found Saul and sons his fallen on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
9 And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.
And they stripped him and they took head his and weapons his and they sent in [the] land of [the] Philistines all around to bear [the] news to idols their and the people.
10 And they put their armour in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
And they put weapons his [the] house of gods their and skull his they fixed [the] house of Dagon.
11 And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
And they heard all Jabesh Gilead all that they had done [the] Philistines to Saul.
12 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.
And they arose every man of strength and they took [the] corpse of Saul and [the] corpses of sons his and they brought them Jabesh towards and they buried bones their under the oak in Jabesh and they fasted seven days.
13 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:
And he died Saul in unfaithfulness his which he had acted unfaithfully against Yahweh on [the] word of Yahweh which not he kept and also to consult by necromancy to consult.
14 and he sought not the Lord: so he slew him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
And not he consulted Yahweh and he put to death him and he turned over the kingship to David [the] son of Jesse.
