1 Chronicles 10

1Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

1Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.

1And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,

2And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi–shua, the sons of Saul.

2And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.

2and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.

3And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

3And the battle grew hard against Saul and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.

3And the battle <FI>is<Fi> heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,

4Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

4And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.

4and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come--and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;

5And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

5And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.

5and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul <FI>is<Fi> dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;

6So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

6So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.

6and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house--together they died.

7And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

7And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.

7And all the men of Israel who <FI>are<Fi> in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.

8And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

8And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.

8And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,

9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.

9And when they had stripped him, and out off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.

9and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings <FI>to<Fi> their idols and the people,

10And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

10And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.

10and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.

11And when all Jabesh–gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

11And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

11And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,

12They arose, all the valiant men, 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.

12All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.

12and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.

13So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

13So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,

13And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit--to inquire, --

14And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

14And trusted not in the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.

14and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
