10:1 And
the
Philistines
have
fought
with
Israel,
and
the
men
of
Israel
flee
from
the
face
of
the
Philistines,
and
fall
wounded
in
mount
Gilboa,
10:2 and
the
Philistines
pursue
after
Saul,
and
after
his
sons,
and
the
Philistines
smite
Jonathan,
and
Abinadab,
and
Malchi-Shua,
sons
of
Saul.
10:3 And
the
battle
[is]
heavy
on
Saul,
and
those
shooting
with
the
bow
find
him,
and
he
is
wounded
by
those
shooting,
10:4 and
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;
10:5 and
the
bearer
of
his
weapons
seeth
that
Saul
[is]
dead,
and
falleth,
he
also,
on
the
sword,
and
dieth;
10:6 and
Saul
dieth,
and
his
three
sons,
and
all
his
house--together
they
died.
10:7 And
all
the
men
of
Israel
who
[are]
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.
10:8 And
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,
10:9 and
strip
him,
and
bear
away
his
head,
and
his
weapons,
and
send
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines
round
about
to
proclaim
tidings
[to]
their
idols
and
the
people,
10:10 and
put
his
weapons
in
the
house
of
their
gods,
and
his
skull
they
have
fixed
in
the
house
of
Dagon.
10:11 And
all
Jabesh-Gilead
hear
of
all
that
the
Philistines
have
done
to
Saul,
10:12 and
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.
10:13 And
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,
--
10:14 and
he
inquired
not
at
Jehovah,
and
He
putteth
him
to
death,
and
turneth
round
the
kingdom
to
David
son
of
Jesse.
