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.
