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.

Muerte de Saúl y de sus hijos
10 (A)Los filisteos pelearon contra Israel y los hombres de Israel huyeron delante de los filisteos y cayeron muertos en el monte Gilboa. 2 Los filisteos persiguieron muy de cerca a Saúl y a sus hijos, y mataron a Jonatán, a Abinadab y a Malquisúa, hijos de Saúl(B). 3 La batalla arreció contra Saúl, y los arqueros lo alcanzaron y fue herido por ellos. 4 Entonces Saúl dijo a su escudero: «Saca tu espada y traspásame con ella, no sea que vengan estos incircuncisos y hagan burla de mí». Pero su escudero no quiso, porque tenía mucho miedo. Por lo cual Saúl tomó su espada y se echó sobre ella(C). 5 Al ver su escudero que Saúl había muerto, él también se echó sobre su espada y murió. 6 Así murió Saúl con sus tres hijos, y todos los de su casa murieron junto con él(D).
7 Cuando todos los hombres de Israel que vivían en el valle, vieron que los suyos habían huido y que Saúl y sus hijos habían muerto, abandonaron sus ciudades y huyeron; entonces los filisteos vinieron y habitaron en ellas. 8 Al día siguiente, cuando los filisteos vinieron para despojar a los muertos, hallaron a Saúl y a sus hijos caídos en el monte Gilboa. 9 Lo despojaron, tomaron su cabeza y sus armas y enviaron mensajeros por toda la tierra de los filisteos para que llevaran las buenas nuevas a sus ídolos y al pueblo(E). 10 Pusieron su armadura en la casa de sus dioses y clavaron su cabeza en la casa de Dagón.
11 Cuando los de Jabes de Galaad oyeron todo lo que los filisteos habían hecho a Saúl, 12 se levantaron todos los hombres valientes y se llevaron el cuerpo de Saúl y los cuerpos de sus hijos, los trajeron a Jabes y enterraron sus huesos bajo la encina en Jabes, y ayunaron siete días(F).
13 Así murió Saúl por la transgresión que cometió contra el Señor(G) por no haber guardado la palabra del Señor, y también porque consultó y pidió consejo a una adivina(H), 14 y no consultó al Señor. Por tanto, Él le quitó la vida y transfirió el reino a David, hijo de Isaí(I).

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.
