Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 against Israel:H3478 and the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the Philistines,H6430 and fellH5307 down slainH2491 in mountH2022 Gilboa.H1533
2
And the PhilistinesH6430 followedH1692 hardH1692 on SaulH7586 and on his sons;H1121 and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221 Jonathan,H3083 and Abinadab,H41 and Melchishua,H4444 Saul'sH7586 sons.H1121
3
And the battleH4421 went soreH3513 againstH413 Saul,H7586 and the archersH3384 hitH4672 him; and he was soreH3966 woundedH2342 of the archers.H3384
4
Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his armor bearer,H5375 H3627 DrawH8025 your sword,H2719 and thrustH1856 me through therewith; lestH6435 theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935 and thrustH1856 me through, and abuseH5953 me. But his armor bearerH5375 H3627 wouldH14 not; for he was soreH3966 afraid.H3372 Therefore SaulH7586 tookH3947 a sword,H2719 and fellH5307 on it.
5
And when his armor bearerH5375 H3627 sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was dead,H4191 he fellH5307 likewiseH1571 on his sword,H2719 and diedH4191 with him.
6
So SaulH7586 died,H4191 and his threeH7969 sons,H1121 and his armor bearer,H5375 H3627 and allH3605 his men,H582 that sameH1931 dayH3117 together.H3162
7
And when the menH582 of IsraelH3478 that were on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of the valley,H6010 and they that were on the otherH5676 sideH5676 Jordan,H3383 sawH7200 that the menH582 of IsraelH3478 fled,H5127 and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were dead,H4191 they forsookH5800 the cities,H5892 and fled;H5127 and the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and dwelledH3427 in them.
8
And it cameH1961 to pass on the morrow,H4283 when the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 to stripH6584 the slain,H2491 that they foundH4672 SaulH7586 and his threeH7969 sonsH1121 fallenH5307 in mountH2022 Gilboa.H1533
9
And they cutH3772 off his head,H7218 and strippedH6584 off his armor,H3627 and sentH7971 into the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 roundH5439 about, to publishH1319 it in the houseH1004 of their idols,H6091 and amongH854 the people.H5971
10
And they putH7760 his armorH3627 in the houseH1004 of Ashtaroth:H6252 and they fastenedH8628 his bodyH1472 to the wallH2346 of Bethshan.H1052
11
And when the inhabitantsH3427 of JabeshgileadH3003 H1568 heardH8085 of that which the PhilistinesH6430 had doneH6213 to Saul;H7586
12
AllH3605 the valiantH2428 menH376 arose,H6965 and wentH3212 allH3605 night,H3915 and tookH3947 the bodyH1472 of SaulH7586 and the bodiesH1472 of his sonsH1121 from the wallH2346 of Bethshan,H1052 and cameH935 to Jabesh,H3003 and burntH8313 them there.H8033
13
And they tookH3947 their bones,H6106 and buriedH6912 them underH8478 a treeH815 at Jabesh,H3003 and fastedH6684 sevenH7651 days.H3117
