Chronicles I 10
1 Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israel, fugeruntque viri Israel Palæsthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe.
2 And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines struck Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
Cumque appropinquassent Philisthæi persequentes Saul, et filios eius, percusserunt Ionathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.
3 And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
Et aggravatum est prælium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt iaculis.
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.
Et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum: Evagina gladium tuum, et interfice me: ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et illudant mihi. Noluit autem armiger eius hoc facere, timore perterritus: arripuit ergo Saul ensem, et irruit in eum.
5 And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
Quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
Interiit ergo Saul, et tres filii eius, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
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.
Quod cum vidissent viri Israel, qui habitabant in campestribus, fugerunt: et Saul ac filiis eius mortuis, dereliquerunt urbes suas, et huc illucque dispersi sunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt in eis.
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.
Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia cæsorum, invenerunt Saul, et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe.
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.
Cumque spoliassent eum, et amputassent caput, armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam, ut circumferretur, et ostenderetur idolorum templis, et populis:
10 And they put their armour in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
11 And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
Hoc cum audissent viri Iabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quæ Philisthiim fecerant super 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.
consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium, et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius: attuleruntque ea in Iabes, et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quæ erat in Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.
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:
Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitates suas, eo quod prævaricatus sit mandatum Domini quod præceperat, et non custodierit illud: sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit,
14 and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
nec speraverit in Domino: propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai.
