1 Chronicles 10

  1 H6430 Now the Philistines H3898 [H8738] fought H3478 against Israel; H376 and the men H3478 of Israel H5127 [H8799] fled H6440 from the face of H6430 the Philistines, H5307 [H8799] and fell down H2491 slain H2022 in mount H1533 Gilboa.

  2 H6430 And the Philistines H1692 [H8686] followed hard H310 after H7586 Saul, H310 and after H1121 his sons; H6430 and the Philistines H5221 [H8686] slew H3129 Jonathan, H41 and Abinadab, H4444 and Malchishua, H1121 the sons H7586 of Saul.

  3 H4421 And the battle H3513 [H8799] prevailed H7586 against Saul, H3384 H7198 [H8688] and the archers H4672 [H8799] hit H2342 [H8799] him, and he was wounded H3384 [H8802] by the archers.

  4 H559 [H8799] Then said H7586 Saul H5375 H3627 [H8802] to his armourbearer, H8025 [H8798] Draw H2719 thy sword, H1856 [H8798] and thrust H6189 me through with it; lest these uncircumcised H935 [H8799] come H5953 [H8694] and abuse H5375 H3627 [H8802] me. But his armourbearer H14 [H8804] would H3966 not; for he was greatly H3372 [H8804] afraid. H7586 So Saul H3947 [H8799] took H2719 a sword, H5307 [H8799] and fell upon it.

  5 H5375 H3627 [H8802] And when his armourbearer H7200 [H8799] saw H7586 that Saul H4191 [H8804] was dead, H5307 [H8799] he fell H2719 likewise on the sword, H4191 [H8799] and died.

  6 H7586 So Saul H4191 [H8799] died, H7969 and his three H1121 sons, H1004 and all his house H4191 [H8804] died H3162 together.

  7 H376 And when all the men H3478 of Israel H6010 that were in the valley H7200 [H8799] saw H5127 [H8804] that they fled, H7586 and that Saul H1121 and his sons H4191 [H8804] were dead, H5800 [H8799] then they forsook H5892 their cities, H5127 [H8799] and fled: H6430 and the Philistines H935 [H8799] came H3427 [H8799] and dwelt in them.

  8 H4283 And it came to pass on the next day, H6430 when the Philistines H935 [H8799] came H6584 [H8763] to strip H2491 the slain, H4672 [H8799] that they found H7586 Saul H1121 and his sons H5307 [H8802] fallen H2022 in mount H1533 Gilboa.

  9 H6584 [H8686] And when they had stripped H5375 [H8799] him, they took H7218 his head, H3627 and his armour, H7971 [H8762] and sent H5439 messengers around H776 into the land H6430 of the Philistines, H1319 [H8763] to carry tidings H6091 to their idols, H5971 and to the people.

  10 H7760 [H8799] And they put H3627 his armour H1004 in the house H430 of their gods, H8628 [H8804] and fastened H1538 his head H1004 in the house H1712 of Dagon.

  11 H3003 H1568 And when all Jabeshgilead H8085 [H8799] heard H6430 all that the Philistines H6213 [H8804] had done H7586 to Saul,

  12 H6965 [H8799] They arose, H2428 all the valiant H376 men, H5375 [H8799] and took away H1480 the corpse H7586 of Saul, H1480 and the corpses H1121 of his sons, H935 [H8686] and brought H3003 them to Jabesh, H6912 [H8799] and buried H6106 their bones H424 under the oak H3003 in Jabesh, H6684 [H8799] and fasted H7651 seven H3117 days.

  13 H7586 So Saul H4191 [H8799] died H4604 for his treachery H4603 [H8804] which he committed H3068 against the LORD, H1697 even against the word H3068 of the LORD, H8104 [H8804] which he kept H7592 [H8800] not, and also for asking H178 counsel of a medium, H1875 [H8800] to enquire of it;

  14 H1875 [H8804] And enquired H3068 not of the LORD: H4191 [H8686] therefore he slew H5437 [H8686] him, and turned H4410 the kingdom H1732 to David H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse.
