Sau-lơ và Các Con Ông Tử Trận
(1 Sa 31:1-13)
10 Khi ấy quân Phi-li-tin giao chiến với quân I-sơ-ra-ên. Quân I-sơ-ra-ên chạy trốn trước mặt quân Phi-li-tin và ngã chết trên Núi Ghinh-bô-a. 2 Quân Phi-li-tin đuổi kịp Sau-lơ và các con của ông. Quân Phi-li-tin giết chết Giô-na-than, A-bi-na-đáp, và Manh-ki-sua, các con trai của Sau-lơ. 3 Trận chiến trở nên khốc liệt đối với Sau-lơ. Quân xạ tiễn của quân thù đuổi theo bắn ông, khiến ông bị trọng thương. 4 Sau-lơ nói với người mang binh khí của ông, “Hãy rút gươm của ngươi ra và đâm ta chết, kẻo những kẻ không cắt bì đó đuổi kịp và ta sẽ bị chúng làm nhục.” Nhưng người mang binh khí của ông không dám, vì người ấy sợ. Do đó Sau-lơ lấy thanh gươm của ông và tự sấn người vào nó mà chết. 5 Khi người mang binh khí của Sau-lơ thấy ông đã chết, người ấy cũng tự sấn người vào thanh gươm của mình mà chết. 6 Như thế Sau-lơ đã tử trận. Ông, ba con trai của ông, và mọi người trong gia đình ông đều tử trận ngày hôm đó. 7 Khi mọi người I-sơ-ra-ên khác trong thung lũng thấy quân I-sơ-ra-ên bỏ chạy, Sau-lơ và các con trai ông đã chết, họ liền bỏ các thành của họ mà chạy trốn. Dân Phi-li-tin bèn đến, chiếm lấy, và ở trong các thành ấy.
8 Ngày hôm sau khi quân Phi-li-tin đi ra thu dọn chiến trường, chúng tìm thấy xác của Sau-lơ và các con trai ông nằm chết trên Núi Ghinh-bô-a. 9 Chúng lột binh giáp của ông, chặt đầu ông, lấy các vũ khí của ông, và sai các sứ giả đi khắp xứ của dân Phi-li-tin để rao báo tin mừng cho các thần của chúng và cho dân của chúng. 10 Chúng để các vũ khí của ông trong đền thờ các thần của chúng và treo đầu ông trong đền thờ của Thần Ða-gôn. 11 Nhưng khi mọi người ở Gia-bét Ghi-lê-át nghe được mọi điều dân Phi-li-tin đã làm cho Sau-lơ, 12 tất cả những chiến sĩ dũng cảm ở đó đứng dậy; họ đến lấy thi thể của ông và thi thể của các con trai ông mang về Gia-bét. Họ chôn cất các hài cốt của cha con ông nơi gốc một cây sồi ở Gia-bét và kiêng ăn bảy ngày.
13 Như thế Sau-lơ đã chết vì tội bất trung của ông. Ông đã bất trung với Chúa, vì ông đã không vâng giữ mạng lịnh của Chúa. Ngoài ra ông còn mang tội cầu vấn đồng bóng; ông tìm cầu sự hướng dẫn của nó, 14 nhưng không tìm cầu sự hướng dẫn của Chúa; vì thế Ngài đã khiến cho ông chết và trao vương quốc của ông cho Ða-vít con trai Giê-se.
1 Chronicles 10
King James Version
10 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 after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their 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 sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
14 And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
1 Chronicles 10
New International Version
Saul Takes His Life(A)
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. 3 The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him.
4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come 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. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the 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 came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung up his head in the temple of Dagon.(B)
11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead(C) heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
13 Saul died(D) because he was unfaithful(E) to the Lord; he did not keep(F) the word of the Lord and even consulted a medium(G) for guidance, 14 and did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned(H) the kingdom(I) over to David son of Jesse.

Tragic End of Saul and His Sons(A)
10 Now (B)the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, [a]Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. 3 The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it. 5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died. 6 So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together. 7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to [b]strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people. 10 (C)Then they put his armor in the [c]temple of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the (D)valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to (E)Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had [d]committed against the Lord, (F)because he did not keep the word of the Lord, and also because (G)he consulted a medium for guidance. 14 But he did not inquire of the Lord; therefore He killed him, and (H)turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

The Death of Saul and His Sons
10 (A)Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mistreat me.” But his armor-bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. 5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died. 6 Thus Saul died; he and his three sons and all his house died together. 7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the army[a] had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people. 10 And they put his armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 11 But when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died (B)for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also (C)consulted a medium, seeking guidance. 14 He (D)did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and (E)turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.
