1 Die Philister aber stritten wider Israel; und die Männer Israels flohen vor den Philistern und fielen erschlagen auf dem Gebirge Gilboa.
And [the] Philistines [were] fighting against Israel and they fled [the] men of Israel from before [the] Philistines and they fell slain on [the] mountain of Gilboa.

4 Da sprach Saul zu seinem Waffenträger: Zeuch dein Schwert aus und erstich mich damit, daß nicht diese Unbeschnittenen kommen und mich erstechen und treiben einen Spott aus mir. Aber sein Waffenträger wollte nicht; denn er fürchtete sich sehr. Da nahm Saul das Schwert und fiel drein.
And he said Saul to [the] bearer of armor his draw out sword your - and pierce through me with it lest they should come the uncircumcised [men] these and they will pierce through me and they will deal wantonly with me and not he was willing [the] bearer of armor his for he was afraid exceedingly and he took Saul the sword and he fell on it.
5 Da nun sein Waffenträger sah, daß Saul tot war, fiel er auch in sein Schwert und starb mit ihm.

7 Da aber die Männer Israels, die jenseit des Grundes und jenseit des Jordans waren, sahen, daß die Männer Israels geflohen waren, und daß Saul und seine Söhne tot waren, verließen sie die Städte und flohen auch; so kamen die Philister und wohneten drinnen.
And they saw [the] men of Israel who [were] on [the] other side of the valley and who - [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan that they had fled [the] men of Israel and that they had died Saul and sons his and they abandoned the cities and they fled and they came [the] Philistines and they dwelt in them.
8 Des andern Tages kamen die Philister, die Erschlagenen auszuziehen, und fanden Saul und seine drei Söhne liegen auf dem Gebirge Gilboa.
And it was from [the] next day and they came [the] Philistines to strip the [ones] slain and they found Saul and [the] three sons his fallen on [the] mountain of Gilboa.
