I Paralipomenon 10
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israël, fugeruntque viri Israël Palæsthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboë.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 Cumque appropinquassent Philisthæi, persequentes Saul et filios ejus, percusserunt Jonathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 Et aggravatum est prælium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt jaculis.
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
4 Et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum: Evagina gladium tuum, et interfice me, ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et illudant mihi. Noluit autem armiger ejus hoc facere, timore perterritus: arripuit ergo Saul ensem, et irruit in eum.
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 Quod cum vidisset armiger ejus, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.
When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
6 Interiit ergo Saul: et tres filii ejus, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
7 Quod cum vidissent viri Israël qui habitabant in campestribus, fugerunt: et Saul ac filiis ejus mortuis, dereliquerunt urbes suas, et huc illucque dispersi sunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt in eis.
When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia cæsorum, invenerunt Saul et filios ejus jacentes in monte Gelboë.
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 Cumque spoliassent eum, et amputassent caput, armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam, ut circumferretur, et ostenderetur idolorum templis, et populis:
They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
10 arma autem ejus consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Jabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quæ Philisthiim fecerant super Saul,
When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium, et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum ejus: attuleruntque ea in Jabes, et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quæ erat in Jabes, et jejunaverunt septem diebus.
all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitates suas, eo quod prævaricatus sit mandatum Domini quod præceperat, et non custodierit illud: sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit,
So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the LORD’s word, which he did not keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
14 nec speraverit in Domino: propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum ejus ad David filium Isai.
and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
