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。 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。 攻击扫罗的战役非常激烈;弓箭手发现了他,就把他射伤。 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。 替他拿兵器的人看见扫罗死了,他也伏在刀上死了。 这样,扫罗和他的三个儿子,以及他的全家,都一同死了。

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。 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。 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。

10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

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.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

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.

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.

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.

The Death of Saul and His Sons

10 The Philistines(A) fought against Israel, and Israel’s men fled from them. Many were killed on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons and killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers spotted him and severely wounded him. Then Saul said to his armour-bearer, ‘Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me.’ But his armour-bearer would not do it because he was terrified. Then Saul took his sword and fell on it. When his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died. So Saul and his three sons died – his whole house died together.

When all the men of Israel in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. So the Philistines came and settled in them.

The next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons dead on Mount Gilboa. They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armour, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to spread the good news to their idols and the people. 10 Then they put his armour in the temple of their gods and hung his skull in the temple of Dagon.(B)

11 When all Jabesh-gilead heard of everything the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their brave men set out and retrieved the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak[a] in Jabesh(C) and fasted for seven days.

13 Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the Lord because he did not keep the Lord’s word.(D) He even consulted a medium for guidance,(E) 14 but he did not enquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.(F)

Saul Takes His Life(A)

10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua. The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him.

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. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died. So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.

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.

The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 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.

Die Geschichte von David

Tod des Königs Saul

10 Die Philister stritten wider Israel, und die Männer Israels flohen vor den Philistern und fielen erschlagen auf dem Berge Gilboa. Aber die Philister setzten Saul und seinen Söhnen nach; und die Philister schlugen Jonatan und Abinadab und Malchischua, die Söhne Sauls. Und der Streit ward so hart wider Saul, daß die Bogenschützen ihn trafen und er von den Schützen verwundet ward.

Da sprach Saul zu seinem Waffenträger: Ziehe dein Schwert aus und erstich mich damit, daß diese Unbeschnittenen nicht kommen und Gespött mit mir treiben!

Aber sein Waffenträger wollte nicht, denn er fürchtete sich sehr. Da nahm Saul das Schwert und stürzte sich darein. Als aber sein Waffenträger sah, daß Saul tot war, stürzte auch er sich in sein Schwert und starb. Also starben Saul und seine drei Söhne und sein ganzes Haus miteinander.

Als aber alle Männer Israels, die im Tale waren, sahen, daß sie geflohen und Saul und seine Söhne tot waren, verließen sie ihre Städte und flohen; da kamen die Philister und wohnten darin.

Am folgenden Tage kamen die Philister, um die Erschlagenen auszuziehen, und fanden Saul und seine Söhne auf dem Berge Gilboa liegen. Und sie zogen ihn aus und nahmen sein Haupt und seine Waffen und ließen ringsum im Land der Philister diese frohe Botschaft ihren Götzen und dem Volke verkündigen. 10 Und sie legten seine Waffen in das Haus ihres Gottes, und seinen Schädel hefteten sie an das Haus Dagons.

11 Als aber alle Einwohner zu Jabes in Gilead hörten, was die Philister dem Saul alles getan hatten, 12 machten sich sämtliche streitbaren Männer auf und nahmen den Leichnam Sauls und die Leichname seiner Söhne und brachten sie nach Jabes und begruben ihre Gebeine unter der Tamariske zu Jabes und fasteten sieben Tage lang.

13 Also starb Saul in seiner Missetat, die er wider den Herrn begangen hatte, wegen des Wortes des Herrn, das er nicht hielt; und weil er die Totenbeschwörerin befragt, 14 den Herrn aber nicht befragt hatte, darum tötete er ihn und wandte das Königreich David, dem Sohn Isais, zu.
