10:1 Now
the
Philistines
fought
against
Israel,
and
the
men
of
Israel
fled
before
the
Philistines
and
fell
slain
on
Mount
Gilboa.
10:2 And
the
Philistines
overtook
Saul
and
his
sons,
and
the
Philistines
struck
down
Jonathan
and
Abinadab
and
Malchi-shua,
the
sons
of
Saul.
10:3 The
battle
pressed
hard
against
Saul,
and
the
archers
found
him,
and
he
was
wounded
by
the
archers.
10:4 Then
Saul
said
to
his
armor-bearer,
"Draw
your
sword
and
thrust
me
through
with
it,
lest
these
uncircumcised
come
and
mistreat
me."
But
his
armor-bearer
would
not,
for
he
feared
greatly.
Therefore
Saul
took
his
own
sword
and
fell
upon
it.
10:5 And
when
his
armor-bearer
saw
that
Saul
was
dead,
he
also
fell
upon
his
sword
and
died.
10:6 Thus
Saul
died;
he
and
his
three
sons
and
all
his
house
died
together.
10:7 And
when
all
the
men
of
Israel
who
were
in
the
valley
saw
that
the
army
had
fled
and
that
Saul
and
his
sons
were
dead,
they
abandoned
their
cities
and
fled,
and
the
Philistines
came
and
lived
in
them.
10:8 The
next
day,
when
the
Philistines
came
to
strip
the
slain,
they
found
Saul
and
his
sons
fallen
on
Mount
Gilboa.
10:9 And
they
stripped
him
and
took
his
head
and
his
armor,
and
sent
messengers
throughout
the
land
of
the
Philistines
to
carry
the
good
news
to
their
idols
and
to
the
people.
10:10 And
they
put
his
armor
in
the
temple
of
their
gods
and
fastened
his
head
in
the
temple
of
Dagon.
10:11 But
when
all
Jabesh-gilead
heard
all
that
the
Philistines
had
done
to
Saul,
10:12 all
the
valiant
men
arose
and
took
away
the
body
of
Saul
and
the
bodies
of
his
sons,
and
brought
them
to
Jabesh.
And
they
buried
their
bones
under
the
oak
in
Jabesh
and
fasted
seven
days.
10:13 So
Saul
died
for
his
breach
of
faith.
He
broke
faith
with
the
LORD
in
that
he
did
not
keep
the
command
of
the
LORD,
and
also
consulted
a
medium,
seeking
guidance.
10:14 He
did
not
seek
guidance
from
the
LORD.
Therefore
the
LORD
put
him
to
death
and
turned
the
kingdom
over
to
David
the
son
of
Jesse.
