The Death of Saul and His Sons
10 (A)Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan and [a](B)Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 And the battle became heavy against Saul, and the archers [b]hit him; and he was wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer was not willing, for he was greatly afraid. (C)So Saul took his sword and fell on it. 5 Then his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, so he also fell on his sword and died. 6 (D)Thus Saul died with his three sons, and all those of his house died together.
7 Then all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead. So they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 Now it happened on the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 (E)So they stripped him and took his head and his weapons and sent them all around the land of the Philistines, to proclaim the good news to their idols and to the people. 10 And they placed his weapons in the house of their gods and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
Jabesh-gilead Buries Saul
11 Then all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 (F)so 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 seven days.
13 (G)Thus Saul died for his unfaithfulness, which he committed against Yahweh, because of the word of Yahweh which he did not keep; and also (H)because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it, 14 and did not inquire of Yahweh. Therefore He put him to death and (I)turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

American Standard Version
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down [a]slain in mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and [b]Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers. 4 Then said Saul unto his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and [c]abuse me. But his armorbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died. 6 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 8 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. 9 And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry the tidings unto their idols, and to the people. 10 And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon. 11 And 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 buried their bones under the [d]oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died [e]for his trespass which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah, which he kept not; and also for that he asked counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire thereby, 14 and inquired not of Jehovah: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Saul dör
10 Filisteerna anföll och besegrade Israels trupper, som vände om och flydde, och många stupade på Gilboas bergssluttningar.
2 Filisteerna förföljde Saul och hans söner Jonatan, Abinadab och Malki-Sua. Sönerna blev dödade alla tre,
3 och Saul var hårt pressad och anfölls från alla sidor, när filisteernas bågskyttar lyckades såra honom.
4 Skynda dig och döda mig med ditt svärd, innan dessa oomskurna hedningar tar mig till fånga och torterar mig, skrek han åt sin vapendragare.Men denne vågade inte, så Saul tog själv sitt svärd och kastade sig mot det, så att det genomborrade honom.
5 När vapendragaren såg att Saul var död, tog han sitt liv på samma sätt.
6 Saul och hans tre söner dog alltså i striden. Sauls familj blev utplånad på en och samma dag.
7 När israeliterna i dalen nedanför fick höra att deras trupper hade drivits på flykten och att Saul och hans söner var döda, övergav de sina städer och flydde. Filisteerna intog dem sedan.
8 När filisteerna kom tillbaka följande dag för att plundra dem som stupat i striden och för att samla ihop bytet från slagfältet, hittade de kropparna av Saul och hans söner.
9 De tog hans kläder och rustning, högg av honom huvudet och sände sedan budbärare runt i hela landet för att berätta nyheten om sin seger.
10 Sauls vapen hängde de upp i ett avgudatempel, och hans huvud hängde de i Dagons tempel.
11 Men när folket i Jabes i Gilead hörde vad filisteerna hade gjort med Saul,
12 drog deras soldater ut på slagfältet och hämtade Sauls och hans söners kroppar. De begravde dem under eken i Jabes och sörjde och fastade i sju dagar.
13 Saul dog på grund av sin olydnad mot Herren och därför att han hade rådfrågat ett medium
14 i stället för att vända sig till Herren. Därför dödade Herren honom och gav kungariket till David, Isais son.
