1 Samuel 31
31:1And the Philistines waged war against Israel. And the men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines, and they fell slain in mount Gilboa.
31:2And the Philistines joined up against Saul and his sons. And the the Philistines struck down Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchi-shua, sons of Saul.
31:3And the battle weighs down against Saul, and the shooters find him, men bowmen; and he was wounded in the spleen.
31:4And Saul said to the one carrying his weapons, Unsheathe your broadsword, and pierce me with it! lest these uncircumcised should come and should pierce me, and should mock against me. But the one carrying his weapons did not want to, for he feared exceedingly. And Saul took his broadsword, and fell upon it.
31:5And the one carrying his weapons beheld that Saul died, and he fell also himself upon his broadsword, and died with him.
31:6And Saul died, and his three sons, and the one carrying his weapons, and all his men, in that day at the same time.
31:7And the men of Israel beheld, the ones on the other side of the valley, and the ones on the other side of the Jordan, that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul died, and his sons. And they leave their cities, and flee. And the Philistines come and dwell in them.
31:8And it came to pass on the next day, and the Philistines come to strip the slain, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen upon the mountains of Gilboa.
31:9And they behead him, and they strip him of his weapons, and they send into the land of the Philistines round about, announcing good news to their idols, and to their people.
31:10And they presented his weapons in the Astartion. And his body they fastened down on the wall in Beth-shan.
31:11And the ones dwelling in Jabish Gilead hear concerning as much as the Philistines did to Saul.
31:12And all the men of power rose up. And they went the entire night, and took the body of Saul, and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall in Beth-sham. And they brought them into Jabish, and incinerated them there.
31:13And they took their bones and they entombed them by the plowed field, the one in Jabish, and they fasted seven days.
