历代志上 10
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
扫罗自杀及其众子阵亡(A)
10 非利士人攻打以色列人；以色列人从非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波山上阵亡的人很多。 2 非利士人紧紧地追赶扫罗和他的儿子；非利士人杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达和麦基舒亚。 3 攻击扫罗的战役非常激烈；弓箭手发现了他，就把他射伤。 4 扫罗对替他拿兵器的人说：“拔出你的刀来，把我刺透，免得这些未受割礼的人来凌辱我。”但替他拿兵器的人不肯这样作，因为他非常害怕；于是扫罗拿出刀来，自己伏在刀上死了。 5 替他拿兵器的人看见扫罗死了，他也伏在刀上死了。 6 这样，扫罗和他的三个儿子，以及他的全家，都一同死了。
7 所有在山谷的以色列人，看见以色列军逃跑，扫罗和他的儿子都死了，他们就弃城逃跑，非利士人就来住在城中。 8 第二天，非利士人来剥那些被杀的人的衣物的时候，发现扫罗和他的儿子都倒毙在基利波山上。 9 他们就剥了他的衣服，拿了他的头和兵器，又派人到非利士地的各处，去向他们的偶像和人民报信。 10 他们把扫罗的兵器放在他们的神庙里，把他的头挂在大衮庙中。 11 基列．雅比人听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事， 12 所有的勇士就动身，把扫罗的尸体和他儿子的尸体收殓起来，带回雅比，把他们的骸骨埋葬在雅比的橡树下，并且禁食七天。
13 扫罗死了，因为他悖逆耶和华，没有听从他的话，也因为他去求问那交鬼的， 14 没有求问耶和华，所以耶和华把他杀死了，把国位转给耶西的儿子大卫。
1 Chronicles 10
Contemporary English Version
King Saul and His Sons Die
(1 Samuel 31.1-13)
10 The Philistines fought against Israel in a battle at Mount Gilboa. Israel's soldiers ran from the Philistines, and many of them were killed. 2 The Philistines closed in on Saul and his sons and killed three of them: Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. 3 The fighting was fierce around Saul, and he was badly wounded by enemy arrows.
4 Saul told the soldier who carried his weapons, “Kill me with your sword! I don't want those godless Philistines to torture and make fun of me.”
But the soldier was afraid to kill him. Then Saul stuck himself in the stomach with his own sword and fell on the blade. 5 When the soldier realized that Saul was dead, he killed himself in the same way.
6 Saul, three of his sons, and all his male relatives were dead. 7 The Israelites who lived in Jezreel Valley[a] learned that their army had run away and that Saul and his sons were dead. They ran away too, and the Philistines moved into the towns the Israelites left behind.
8 The next day the Philistines came back to the battlefield to carry away the weapons of the dead Israelite soldiers. When they found the bodies of Saul and his sons on Mount Gilboa, 9 they took Saul's weapons, pulled off his armor, and cut off his head. Then they sent messengers everywhere in Philistia to spread the news among their people and to thank the idols of their gods. 10 They put Saul's armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of their god Dagon.
11 When the people who lived in Jabesh in Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 some brave men went to get his body and the bodies of his three sons. The men brought the bodies back to Jabesh, where they buried them under an oak tree. Then for seven days, they went without eating to show their sorrow.
13 (A) Saul died because he was unfaithful and disobeyed the Lord. He even asked advice from a woman who talked to spirits of the dead, 14 instead of asking the Lord. So the Lord had Saul killed and gave his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
