I Paralipomenon 10
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israel, fugeruntque viri Israel Palaesthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
2 Cumque appropinquassent Philisthaei persequentes Saul, et filios eius, percusserunt Ionathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.
And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Et aggravatum est praelium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt iaculis.
And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread 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 eius hoc facere, timore perterritus: arripuit ergo Saul ensem, et irruit in eum.
And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.
5 Quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.
And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.
6 Interiit ergo Saul, et tres filii eius, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died together.
7 Quod cum vidissent viri Israel, qui habitabant in campestribus, fugerunt: et Saul ac filiis eius mortuis, dereliquerunt urbes suas, et huc illucque dispersi sunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt in eis.
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia caesorum, invenerunt Saul, et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and 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:
And they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.
10 arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Iabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quae Philisthiim fecerant super Saul,
And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all the Philistines had done to Saul:
12 consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium, et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius: attuleruntque ea in Iabes, et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quae erat in Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.
Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitates suas, eo quod praevaricatus sit mandatum Domini quod praeceperat, et non custodierit illud: sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit,
And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;
14 nec speraverit in Domino: propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai.
And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
