The Death of Saul and His Sons
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and every Israelite fled away from before the Philistines. And they fell slain upon Mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines overtook[a] Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua, the sons of Saul. 3 And the battle was heavy against Saul, and the archers[b] found him, and he was wounded by the archers.[c] 4 And Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and deal harshly with me.” But he was very afraid. Then Saul took the sword and fell upon it. 5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon the sword, and he died. 6 So Saul died. 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 they[d] had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and dwelled in them. 8 And it happened that on the next day when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 And they stripped him and took his head and his weapons, and they sent them throughout the land of the Philistines to bring news to their idols and the nation. 10 And they put his weapons in the temple of their gods, and they fastened his skull to the temple of Dagon. 11 When all Jabesh-Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 every strong man arose and took the dead body of Saul and the dead bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days. 13 So Saul died on account of his sin which he had sinned against Yahweh concerning the command of Yahweh that he did not keep. He also consulted a medium to seek guidance. 14 But he did not seek Yahweh. So Yahweh put him to death and turned over the kingship to David, the son of Jesse.

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.
1 Chronicles 10
King James Version
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
4 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.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the 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, then 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 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.
