Kings I 31
1 And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain in Gelbue.
Og Filisterne strede imod Israel, og Israels Mænd flyede for Filisternes Ansigt, og de faldt ihjelslagne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
2 And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner, og Filisterne sloge Jonathan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls Sønner.
3 And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.
Og Kampen blev svar imod Saul, og Skytterne, som førte Bue, naaede ham, og han blev saare angest for Skytterne.
4 And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw your sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his 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 gennemstikke mig 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 fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.
Der hans Vaabendrager saa, at Saul var død, da styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde med ham.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, in that day together.
Saa døde Saul og hans tre Sønner og hans Vaabendrager, ogsaa alle hans Mænd til Hobe paa den samme Dag.
7 And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
Og der Israels Mænd, som vare paa hin Side Dalen, og som vare paa hin Side Jordanen, saa, at Israels Mænd vare flygtede, og at Saul og hans Sønner vare døde, da forlode de Stæderne og flyede; og Filisterne kom og boede i dem.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.
Og det skete den anden Dag, da Filisterne kom for at plyndre de ihjelslagne, at de fandt Saul og hans tre Sønner faldne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
9 And they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.
Da afhuggede de hans Hoved og afførte ham hans Vaaben, og de sendte hen i Filisternes Land trindt omkring for at bringe Budskab derom i deres Afguders Hus og iblandt Folket.
10 And they set up his armour at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Baethsam.
Og de lagde hans Vaaben i Astarte-Billedernes Hus og hængte hans Krop ud paa Muren i Bethsan.
11 And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.
Der Indbyggerne i Jabes udi Gilead hørte om ham, hvad Filisterne havde gjort mod Saul,
12 And they rose up, [even] every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Baethsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.
da gjorde de sig rede, hver stridbar Mand, og de gik den ganske Nat, og de toge Sauls Legeme og hans Sønners Legemer ned af Muren i Bethsan, og de kom til Jabes og brændte dem der.
13 And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.
Og de toge deres Ben og begrove dem under Tamariske-Træet i Jabes, og de fastede syv Dage.
