掃羅自殺及其眾子陣亡(A)

10 非利士人攻打以色列人;以色列人從非利士人面前逃跑,在基利波山上陣亡的人很多。 非利士人緊緊地追趕掃羅和他的兒子;非利士人殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達和麥基舒亞。 攻擊掃羅的戰役非常激烈;弓箭手發現了他,就把他射傷。 掃羅對替他拿兵器的人說:“拔出你的刀來,把我刺透,免得這些未受割禮的人來凌辱我。”但替他拿兵器的人不肯這樣作,因為他非常害怕;於是掃羅拿出刀來,自己伏在刀上死了。 替他拿兵器的人看見掃羅死了,他也伏在刀上死了。 這樣,掃羅和他的三個兒子,以及他的全家,都一同死了。

所有在山谷的以色列人,看見以色列軍逃跑,掃羅和他的兒子都死了,他們就棄城逃跑,非利士人就來住在城中。 第二天,非利士人來剝那些被殺的人的衣物的時候,發現掃羅和他的兒子都倒斃在基利波山上。 他們就剝了他的衣服,拿了他的頭和兵器,又派人到非利士地的各處,去向他們的偶像和人民報信。 10 他們把掃羅的兵器放在他們的神廟裡,把他的頭掛在大袞廟中。 11 基列.雅比人聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事, 12 所有的勇士就動身,把掃羅的屍體和他兒子的屍體收殮起來,帶回雅比,把他們的骸骨埋葬在雅比的橡樹下,並且禁食七天。

13 掃羅死了,因為他悖逆耶和華,沒有聽從他的話,也因為他去求問那交鬼的, 14 沒有求問耶和華,所以耶和華把他殺死了,把國位轉給耶西的兒子大衛。

The Death of King Saul

10 The Philistines fought against Israel, and the Israelites ran away from them. Many Israelites were killed on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines fought hard against Saul and his sons, killing his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua. The fighting was heavy around Saul, and the archers shot him with their arrows and wounded him.

Then Saul said to the officer who carried his armor, “Pull out your sword and stab me. If you don’t, these Philistines who are not circumcised will come and hurt me.” But Saul’s officer refused, because he was afraid. So Saul took his own sword and threw himself on it. When the officer saw that Saul was dead, he threw himself on his own sword and died. So Saul and three of his sons died; all his family died together.

When the Israelites living in the valley saw that their army had run away and that Saul and his sons were dead, they left their towns and ran away. Then the Philistines came and settled in them.

The next day when the Philistines came to strip the dead soldiers, they found Saul and his sons dead on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines stripped Saul’s body and took his head and his armor. Then they sent messengers through all their country to tell the news to their idols and to their people. 10 The Philistines put Saul’s armor in the temple of their idols and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.

11 All the people in Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul. 12 So the brave men of Jabesh went and got the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the large tree in Jabesh. Then the people of Jabesh fasted for seven days.

13 Saul died because he was not faithful to the Lord and did not obey the Lord. He even went to a medium and asked her for advice 14 instead of asking the Lord. This is why the Lord put Saul to death and gave the kingdom to Jesse’s son David.

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, 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 with it lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was sore afraid. Then Saul took a sword and fell upon it.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his 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 next day, 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 weapons 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 weapons 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 all the valiant men arose 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 rebellion which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he did not keep, and also for consulting a spiritist, to enquire of her

14 and not enquire of the LORD; therefore, he slew him and turned the kingdom unto David, the son of Jesse.
