1 Chronicles 10
English Standard Version Anglicised
The Death of Saul and His Sons
10 (A)Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armour bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and mistreat me.” But his armour bearer would not, for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. 5 And when his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died. 6 Thus Saul died; he and his three sons and all his house died together. 7 And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that the army[a] had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him and took his head and his armour, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people. 10 And they put his armour in the temple of their gods and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 11 But when all Jabesh-gilead 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 they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted for seven days.
13 So Saul died (B)for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord, and also (C)consulted a medium, seeking guidance. 14 He (D)did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord put him to death and (E)turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Muerte de Saúl(A)
10 Los filisteos fueron a la guerra contra Israel, y los israelitas huyeron ante ellos. Muchos de ellos cayeron muertos en el monte Guilboa. 2 Entonces los filisteos se fueron en persecución de Saúl, y lograron matar a sus hijos Jonatán, Abinadab y Malquisúa. 3 La batalla se intensificó contra Saúl, y los arqueros lo alcanzaron con sus flechas. Al verse herido, 4 Saúl le dijo a su escudero: «Saca la espada y mátame, no sea que me maten esos incircuncisos cuando lleguen, y se diviertan a costa mía».
Pero el escudero estaba tan asustado que no quiso hacerlo, de modo que Saúl mismo tomó su espada y se dejó caer sobre ella. 5 Cuando el escudero vio que Saúl caía muerto, también él se arrojó sobre su propia espada y murió. 6 Así murieron Saúl y sus tres hijos. Ese día pereció toda su familia.
7 Cuando los israelitas que vivían en el valle vieron que el ejército había huido, y que Saúl y sus hijos habían muerto, también ellos abandonaron sus ciudades y se dieron a la fuga. Así fue como los filisteos las ocuparon.
8 Al otro día, cuando los filisteos llegaron para despojar a los cadáveres, encontraron muertos a Saúl y a sus hijos en el monte Guilboa. 9 Lo despojaron, tomaron su cabeza y sus armas, y enviaron mensajeros por todo el país filisteo para que proclamaran la noticia a sus ídolos y al pueblo. 10 Después colocaron las armas en el templo de sus dioses y colgaron la cabeza en el templo de Dagón.
11 Cuando los de Jabés de Galaad se enteraron de lo que habían hecho los filisteos con Saúl, 12 se levantaron todos los valientes y rescataron los cuerpos de Saúl y de sus hijos. Los llevaron a Jabés, sepultaron sus huesos debajo de la encina de Jabés y guardaron siete días de ayuno.
13-14 Saúl murió por haberse rebelado contra el Señor, pues, en vez de consultarlo, desobedeció su palabra y buscó el consejo de una adivina. Por eso el Señor le quitó la vida y entregó el reino a David hijo de Isaí.
