< 1 Chronicles 10 >

1 The Philistines attacked Israel and all the Israelites soldiers ran away from them. Many Israelites were cut down on Mount Gilboa.
Og Filisterne strede imod Israel, og Israels Mænd flyede for Filisternes Ansigt og faldt ihjelslagne paa Gilboas Bjerg.
2 The Philistines chased down Saul and his sons. The killed Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner, og Filisterne ihjelsloge Jonathan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls Sønner.
3 The battle raged intensely around Saul. The enemy archers saw where he was, and they wounded him.
Og Krigen blev svar imod Saul, og Skytterne, som førte Bue, naaede ham, og han blev saare angst for Skytterne.
4 Saul told his armor bearer, “Take out your sword and kill me before these heathen come and torment me.” But his armor bearer refused—he was too afraid to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on 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 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.
Der hans Vaabendrager saa, at Saul var død, da styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
6 So Saul and three of his sons died there, along with his royal line.
Saa døde Saul og hans tre Sønner og alt hans Hus, de døde til Hobe.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that their army had run away, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their towns and they also ran away. The Philistines came and occupied 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 The following day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they discovered the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa.
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 They stripped him, cut off his head, and took his armor. Then they sent the news throughout the land of Philistia, to their idols and their 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 They put Saul's armor in the temple of their idols and fixed his head to the temple of Dagon.
Og de lagde hans Vaaben i deres Guds Hus og fæstede hans Hjerne skal paa Dagons Hus.
11 However, when everyone in Jabesh-gilead heard everything the Philistines had done to Saul,
Der alle de i Jabes udi Gilead hørte alt det, som Filisterne havde gjort imod Saul,
12 all their fighting men went and recovered the bodies of Saul and his sons. They brought them back and buried them under the large tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for 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 Saul died because he was unfaithful to the Lord. He did not keep the Lord's commands, and he also went to consult a medium.
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 He did not consult the Lord, so the Lord put him to death and he handed over the kingship to David, son of Jesse.
Og han søgte ikke Herren, derfor dræbte han ham og vendte Riget til David, Isajs Søn.
