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 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 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 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 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 So Saul H7586 died, H4191 and his three H7969 sons, H1121 and all H3605 his house H1004 died H4191 together. H3162
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 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 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 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 when all H3605 Jabesh H3003 H1568 -gilead heard H8085 H853 all H3605 that H834 the Philistines H6430 had done H6213 to Saul, H7586
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 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 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
