1 Samuel 31
1 Los Filisteos pues pelearon con Israel, y los de Israel huyeron delante de los Filisteos, y cayeron muertos en el monte de Gelboé.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.
2 Y siguiendo los Filisteos a Saul y a sus hijos, mataron a Jonatán, y a Abinadab, y a Melquisua, hijos de Saul.
And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.
3 Y la batalla se agravó sobre Saul, y alcanzáronle los flecheros, y hubo gran temor de los flecheros.
And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, the men with bows; and he was greatly in dread of the archers.
4 Entonces Saul dijo a su escudero: Saca tu espada y pásame con ella; porque no vengan estos incircuncisos, y me pasen, y me escarnezcan. Mas su escudero no quería, porque tenía gran temor. Entonces Saul tomó la espada y echóse sobre ella.
And Saul said unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, 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 Y viendo su escudero a Saul muerto, él también se echó sobre su espada, y murió con él.
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Así murió Saul y sus tres hijos, y su escudero, y todos sus varones juntamente en aquel día.
Thus died Saul, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, also all his men, on that same day together.
7 Y los de Israel que estaban de la otra parte del valle, y de la otra parte del Jordán, viendo que Israel había huido, y que Saul y sus hijos eran muertos, dejaron las ciudades, y huyeron, y los Filisteos vinieron, y habitaron en ellas.
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and those that were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons had died: they forsook the cities, and fled away; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 Y aconteció el siguiente día, que viniendo los Filisteos a despojar los muertos, hallaron a Saul, y a sus tres hijos tendidos en el monte de Gelboé.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.
9 Y cortáronle la cabeza, y desnudáronle las armas, y enviáronlas a tierra de los Filisteos al derredor, para que lo denunciasen en el templo de sus ídolos, y por el pueblo.
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent it into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 Y pusieron sus armas en el templo de Astarot, y colgaron su cuerpo en el muro de Bet-sán.
And they put his armor in the house of 'Ashtaroth; and his body they fastened to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Y oyendo los de Jabes de Galaad esto que los Filisteos hicieron a Saul,
And when the inhabitants of Yabeshgil'ad heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul:
12 Todos los hombres valientes se levantaron, y anduvieron toda aquella noche, y quitaron el cuerpo de Saul, y los cuerpos de sus hijos del muro de Bet-sán: y viniendo a Jabes, quemáronlos allí.
Then arose all the valiant men, and walked all the night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Yabesh, and burnt them there.
13 Y tomando sus huesos sepultáronlos debajo de un árbol en Jabes, y ayunaron siete días.
And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk-tree at Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.
