掃羅之死

10 非利士人與以色列人交戰,以色列人敗逃,許多人在基利波山被殺。 非利士人窮追掃羅及其眾子,殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達和麥基舒亞。 掃羅周圍的戰鬥非常猛烈,他被弓箭手發現、射成重傷, 就對為他拿兵器的人說:「拔出你的刀來刺死我吧!免得那些未受割禮的人來凌辱我。」但拿兵器的人非常害怕,不敢動手,掃羅就自己伏刀自盡。 拿兵器的人看見掃羅已死,也伏刀自盡了。 這樣,掃羅和他的三個兒子及全家都死了。 住在山谷中的以色列人看見以色列軍敗逃、掃羅及其眾子已死,都棄城而逃。於是,非利士人佔領了那些城邑。 次日,非利士人來剝陣亡者的衣物,發現掃羅及其眾子橫屍基利波山, 就剝下掃羅的盔甲,割下他的頭顱,並派人到非利士四境向他們的偶像和民眾通告消息。 10 他們將掃羅的盔甲放在他們的神廟裡,把他的頭顱掛在大袞神廟中。 11 基列·雅比人聽見非利士人對掃羅的所作所為, 12 他們所有的勇士就去把掃羅和他兒子們的屍體運到雅比,葬在雅比的橡樹下,並禁食七天。 13 掃羅死了,因為他對耶和華不忠,不聽從祂的教誨,甚至去求問靈媒, 14 而不求問耶和華。因此,耶和華使他被殺,把王位交給了耶西的兒子大衛。

10 1 The battle of Saul against the Philistines, 4 In which he dieth, 6 And his sons also. 13 The cause of Saul’s death.

Then (A)the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines pursued after Saul and after his sons, and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua the sons of Saul.

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

Then said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw out thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and mock at me: but his armor-bearer would not, for he was sore afraid: therefore Saul took the sword, and fell upon it.

And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon the sword, and died.

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

And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley, saw how they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled away, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

And on the morrow when the Philistines came to spoil them that were slain, they found Saul and his sons [b]lying in mount Gilboa.

And when they had stripped him, they took his head and his armor, and sent them into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it unto their idols, and to the people.

10 And they laid up his armor in the house of their god, and set up his head in the house of [c]Dagon.

11 ¶ When all they of Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 Then they arose (all the valiant men) and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried the bones of them under an oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

13 So Saul died for his transgression that he committed against the Lord, (B)even against the word of the Lord which he kept not, and in that he sought and asked counsel of a [d](C)familiar spirit,

14 And asked not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

掃羅逝世(A)

10 非利士人攻打以色列以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑,很多人[a]基利波山被殺仆倒。 非利士人緊追掃羅和他的兒子,殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單亞比拿達麥基‧舒亞 攻擊掃羅的戰事激烈,掃羅被弓箭手射中,被他們射傷。 掃羅吩咐拿他兵器的人說:「你拔出刀來,把我刺死,免得那些未受割禮的人來凌辱我。」但拿兵器的人非常懼怕,不肯刺他。於是掃羅拿起刀來,伏在刀上。 拿兵器的人見掃羅已死,也伏在刀上死了。 這樣,掃羅和他三個兒子,以及他的全家都一起陣亡了。 住平原的以色列眾人見以色列軍兵[b]逃跑,掃羅和他兒子都死了,就棄城逃跑。非利士人前來,佔據了他們的城。

次日,非利士人來剝那些被殺之人的衣服,看見掃羅和他兒子仆倒在基利波山 他們剝了他的軍裝,拿着他的首級和盔甲,派人到非利士人之地的四境,報信給他們的偶像和百姓。 10 他們將掃羅的盔甲放在他們神明的廟裏,把他的首級釘在大袞廟中。 11 基列雅比居民聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的一切事, 12 他們中間所有的勇士就起身,把掃羅和他兒子的屍身送到雅比,把他們的屍骨葬在雅比的橡樹下,禁食七日。

13 這樣,掃羅為了他的不忠死了;因為他干犯耶和華,沒有遵守耶和華的話,又因他求問招魂的婦人, 14 不求問耶和華,所以耶和華使他被殺,把王國給了耶西的兒子大衛

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.

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.
