1 Samuel 31
Louis Segond
31 Les Philistins livrèrent bataille à Israël, et les hommes d'Israël prirent la fuite devant les Philistins et tombèrent morts sur la montagne de Guilboa.
2 Les Philistins poursuivirent Saül et ses fils, et tuèrent Jonathan, Abinadab et Malkischua, fils de Saül.
3 L'effort du combat porta sur Saül; les archers l'atteignirent, et le blessèrent grièvement.
4 Saül dit alors à celui qui portait ses armes: Tire ton épée, et m'en transperce, de peur que ces incirconcis ne viennent me percer et me faire subir leurs outrages. Celui qui portait ses armes ne voulut pas, car il était saisi de crainte. Et Saül prit son épée, et se jeta dessus.
5 Celui qui portait les armes de Saül, le voyant mort, se jeta aussi sur son épée, et mourut avec lui.
6 Ainsi périrent en même temps, dans cette journée, Saül et ses trois fils, celui qui portait ses armes, et tous ses gens.
7 Ceux d'Israël qui étaient de ce côté de la vallée et de ce côté du Jourdain, ayant vu que les hommes d'Israël s'enfuyaient et que Saül et ses fils étaient morts, abandonnèrent leurs villes pour prendre aussi la fuite. Et les Philistins allèrent s'y établir.
8 Le lendemain, les Philistins vinrent pour dépouiller les morts, et ils trouvèrent Saül et ses trois fils tombés sur la montagne de Guilboa.
9 Ils coupèrent la tête de Saül, et enlevèrent ses armes. Puis ils firent annoncer ces bonnes nouvelles par tout le pays des Philistins dans les maisons de leurs idoles et parmi le peuple.
10 Ils mirent les armes de Saül dans la maison des Astartés, et ils attachèrent son cadavre sur les murs de Beth Schan.
11 Lorsque les habitants de Jabès en Galaad apprirent comment les Philistins avaient traité Saül,
12 tous les vaillants hommes se levèrent, et, après avoir marché toute la nuit, ils arrachèrent des murs de Beth Schan le cadavre de Saül et ceux de ses fils. Puis ils revinrent à Jabès, où ils les brûlèrent;
13 ils prirent leurs os, et les enterrèrent sous le tamarisc à Jabès. Et ils jeûnèrent sept jours.

New International Version
Saul Takes His Life(A)
31 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa.(B) 2 The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons,(C) and they killed his sons Jonathan,(D) Abinadab and Malki-Shua.(E) 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded(F) him critically.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through,(G) or these uncircumcised(H) fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.”
But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. 6 So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died(I) together that same day.
7 When the Israelites along the valley and those across the Jordan saw that the Israelite army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.
8 The next day, when the Philistines(J) came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news(K) in the temple of their idols and among their people.(L) 10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths(M) and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.(N)
11 When the people of Jabesh Gilead(O) heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their valiant men(P) marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned(Q) them. 13 Then they took their bones(R) and buried them under a tamarisk(S) tree at Jabesh, and they fasted(T) seven days.(U)

Sauls dood
31 Inmiddels hadden de Filistijnen de strijd aangebonden met Israël. De Israëlitische troepen sloegen op de vlucht en in het gebergte Gilboa vielen vele doden. 2 De Filistijnen zaten Saul op de hielen en doodden zijn zonen Jonathan, Abinadab en Malkisua.
3,4 Toen Saul door een groep boogschutters werd ingehaald, werd hij vreselijk bang. Hij zei tegen zijn wapenknecht: ‘Dood mij met je zwaard, voordat deze heidense Filistijnen mij gevangennemen en martelen om de spot met mij te drijven.’ Maar zijn wapenknecht durfde niet, daarom pakte Saul zijn eigen zwaard en liet zich erin vallen. 5 Toen zijn wapenknecht zag dat Saul dood was, liet hij zich ook in zijn zwaard vallen en stierf met hem. 6 Zo stierven Saul, zijn wapenknecht, zijn drie zonen en zijn mannen op dezelfde dag.
7 Toen de Israëlieten aan de andere kant van het dal en aan de overkant van de Jordaan hoorden dat hun leger was gevlucht en dat Saul en zijn zonen waren gesneuveld, verlieten zij in allerijl hun woonplaatsen. Deze werden kort daarop door de Filistijnen ingenomen. 8 Toen de Filistijnen de volgende dag het slagveld afstroopten om de gesneuvelden te plunderen, vonden zij de lijken van Saul en zijn drie zonen in het gebergte van Gilboa. 9 Zij hakten Sauls hoofd af en namen zijn wapenrusting mee. Deze trofeeën stuurden zij naar de tempels van hun afgoden en alle inwoners van hun land. 10 Zijn wapenrusting kreeg een plaats in de tempel van Astarte, zijn lichaam werd aan de muur van Bet-San gehangen. 11 De inwoners van Jabes in Gilead hoorden echter wat de Filistijnen hadden gedaan 12 en stuurden al hun soldaten op pad. Zij liepen de hele nacht door en kwamen bij Bet-San. Daar haalden ze de lichamen van Saul en zijn drie zonen van de muur. Zij brachten de lijken naar Jabes en verbrandden ze daar. 13 Daarna begroeven zij de beenderen onder de eikenboom bij Jabes en ze vastten zeven dagen lang.
1 Samuel 31
King James Version
31 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
