Chronicles I 10
1 Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
Og Filisterne strede imod Israel, og Israels Mænd flyede for Filisternes Ansigt og faldt ihjelslagne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
2 And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines struck Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner, og Filisterne ihjelsloge Jonathan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls Sønner.
3 And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
Og Krigen blev svar imod Saul, og Skytterne, som førte Bue, naaede ham, og han blev saare angst for Skytterne.
4 And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw your 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.
Da sagde Saul til sin Vaabendrager: Drag dit Sværd ud og stik mig igennem dermed, at ikke disse uomskaarne skulle komme og handle ilde med mig; men hans Vaabendrager vilde ikke, thi han frygtede saare; da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig deri.
5 And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
Der hans Vaabendrager saa, at Saul var død, da styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
Saa døde Saul og hans tre Sønner og alt hans Hus, de døde til Hobe.
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 lived in them.
Der alle Israels Mænd, som vare i Dalen, saa, at de flyede, og at Saul og hans Sønner vare døde, da forlode de deres Stæder og flyede, og Filisterne kom og boede i dem.
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.
Og det skete den anden Dag, da Filisterne kom til at plyndre de ihjelslagne, da fandt de Saul og hans Sønner faldne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
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.
Og de udplyndrede ham og toge hans Hoved og hans Vaaben, og de sendte hen i Filisternes Land trindt omkring for at bringe Budskab derom til deres Afguder og til Folket.
10 And they put their armour in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
Og de lagde hans Vaaben i deres Guds Hus og fæstede hans Hjerne skal paa Dagons Hus.
11 And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
Der alle de i Jabes udi Gilead hørte alt det, som Filisterne havde gjort imod 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.
da gjorde alle stridbare Mænd sig rede og toge Sauls Legeme og hans Sønners Legemer, og de førte dem til Jabes, og de begrove deres Ben under Egen i Jabes og fastede i syv Dage.
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:
Saa døde Saul i sin Forsyndelse, som han havde begaaet imod Herren, fordi han ikke havde holdt Herrens Ord, men han havde endog adspurgt og søgt Spaakvinden.
14 and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
Og han søgte ikke Herren, derfor dræbte han ham og vendte Riget til David, Isajs Søn.
