1 Chronicles 10 — ILT
10Verse 1Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and there fell down [many] slain on mount Gilboa'.Verse 2And the Philistines pursuing them overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and 'Abinadab, and Malkishua', the sons of Saul.Verse 3And the battle was heavy against Saul, and he was found by the archers, and he was greatly in dread of the archers.Verse 4And Saul said to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and wantonly ill-use me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was greatly afraid: wherefore Saul took the sword and fell upon it.Verse 5And when the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, then fell he likewise on the sword, and died.Verse 6Thus died Saul and his three sons; and all his household died together.Verse 7And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead: they forsook their cities, and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.Verse 8And it came to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines came to strip the slain; and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa'.Verse 9And they stripped him, and they carried away his head, and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it to their idols, and to the people.Verse 10And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and his skull they fastened in the temple of Dagon.Verse 11And when all Yabesh-gil'ad heard all the Philistines had done to Saul:Verse 12Then arose all the valiant men, and carried away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh; and they buried their bones under the terebinth in Yabesh, and they fasted seven days.Verse 13And [so] died Saul for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the Lord, because of the word of the Lord which he had not kept, and also for asking one of a familiar spirit to inquire of the same;Verse 14And had not inquired of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned over the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
