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,
|
1. Now the Philistines H6430 fought H3898 against Israel H3478 ; and the men H376 of Israel H3478 fled H5127 from before H4480 H6440 the Philistines H6430 , and fell down H5307 slain H2491 in mount H2022 Gilboa H1533 .
|
|
2. and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
|
2. And the Philistines H6430 followed hard H1692 after H310 Saul H7586 , and after H310 his sons H1121 ; and the Philistines H6430 slew H5221 H853 Jonathan H3129 , and Abinadab H41 , and Malchi H4444 -shua , the sons H1121 of Saul H7586 .
|
|
3. And the battle is heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
|
3. And the battle H4421 went sore H3513 against H5921 Saul H7586 , and the archers H3384 H7198 hit H4672 him , and he was wounded H2342 of H4480 the archers H3384 .
|
|
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;
|
4. Then said H559 Saul H7586 to H413 his armorbearer H5375 H3627 , Draw H8025 thy sword H2719 , and thrust me through H1856 therewith; lest H6435 these H428 uncircumcised H6189 come H935 and abuse H5953 me . But his armorbearer H5375 H3627 would H14 not H3808 ; for H3588 he was sore afraid H3372 H3966 . So Saul H7586 took H3947 H853 a sword H2719 , and fell H5307 upon H5921 it.
|
|
5. and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul is dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
|
5. And when his armorbearer H5375 H3627 saw H7200 that H3588 Saul H7586 was dead H4191 , he H1931 fell H5307 likewise H1571 on H5921 the sword H2719 , and died H4191 .
|
|
6. and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house -- together they died.
|
6. So Saul H7586 died H4191 , and his three H7969 sons H1121 , and all H3605 his house H1004 died H4191 together H3162 .
|
|
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.
|
7. And when all H3605 the men H376 of Israel H3478 that H834 were in the valley H6010 saw H7200 that H3588 they fled H5127 , and that H3588 Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 were dead H4191 , then they forsook H5800 their cities H5892 , and fled H5127 : and the Philistines H6430 came H935 and dwelt H3427 in them.
|
|
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,
|
8. And it came to pass H1961 on H4480 the morrow H4283 , when the Philistines H6430 came H935 to strip H6584 H853 the slain H2491 , that they found H4672 H853 Saul H7586 and his sons H1121 fallen H5307 in mount H2022 Gilboa H1533 .
|
|
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,
|
9. And when they had stripped H6584 him , they took H5375 H853 his head H7218 , and his armor H3627 , and sent H7971 into the land H776 of the Philistines H6430 round about H5439 , to carry tidings H1319 H853 unto their idols H6091 , and to the people H5971 .
|
|
10. and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
|
10. And they put H7760 H853 his armor H3627 in the house H1004 of their gods H430 , and fastened H8628 his head H1538 in the temple H1004 of Dagon H1712 .
|
|
11. And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
|
11. And when all H3605 Jabesh H3003 H1568 -gilead heard H8085 H853 all H3605 that H834 the Philistines H6430 had done H6213 to Saul H7586 ,
|
|
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.
|
12. They arose H6965 , all H3605 the valiant H2428 men H376 , and took away H5375 H853 the body H1480 of Saul H7586 , and the bodies H1480 of his sons H1121 , and brought H935 them to Jabesh H3003 , and buried H6912 H853 their bones H6106 under H8478 the oak H424 in Jabesh H3003 , and fasted H6684 seven H7651 days H3117 .
|
|
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, --
|
13. So Saul H7586 died H4191 for his transgression H4604 which H834 he committed H4603 against the LORD H3068 , even against H5921 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , which H834 he kept H8104 not H3808 , and also H1571 for asking H7592 counsel of one that had a familiar spirit H178 , to inquire H1875 of it ;
|
|
14. and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
|
14. And inquired H1875 not H3808 of the LORD H3068 : therefore he slew H4191 him , and turned H5437 H853 the kingdom H4410 unto David H1732 the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 .
