And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw your sword, and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid: so Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

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.

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.

And all the dwellers in Galaad heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul and to Israel.

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 Aa le nihomake t’i Saole ty amy fiolà’e am’ Iehovày naho i tsara’ Iehovà tsy nambena’ey naho i namotoaña’e jiny, hañontanea’ey,
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 ie tsy nañontane Iehovà; le zinevo’e vaho nafote’e amy Davide ana’ Iisaý i fifelehañey.
and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
