I Paralipomenon 10
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israël, fugeruntque viri Israël Palæsthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboë.
Now the Philistines warred against Israel; and they fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gelbue.
2 Cumque appropinquassent Philisthæi, persequentes Saul et filios ejus, percusserunt Jonathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.
And the Philistines pursued after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines struck Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisue, sons of Saul.
3 Et aggravatum est prælium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt jaculis.
And the battle prevailed against Saul, and the archers hit him with bows and arrows, and they were wounded of the bows.
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.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw your sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 Quod cum vidisset armiger ejus, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.
And his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he also fell upon his sword.
6 Interiit ergo Saul: et tres filii ejus, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
So Saul died, and his three sons on that day, and all his family died at the same time.
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.
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.
8 Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia cæsorum, invenerunt Saul et filios ejus jacentes in monte Gelboë.
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.
9 Cumque spoliassent eum, et amputassent caput, armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam, ut circumferretur, et ostenderetur idolorum templis, et populis:
And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.
10 arma autem ejus consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
And they put their armor in the house of their god, and they put his head in the house of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Jabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quæ Philisthiim fecerant super Saul,
And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.
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.
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.
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 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:
14 nec speraverit in Domino: propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum ejus ad David filium Isai.
and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
