1 Krønikebok 10
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
10 Filistrene stred mot Israel, og Israels menn flyktet for filistrene, og det lå mange falne på Gilboa-fjellet.
2 Og filistrene var like i hælene på Saul og hans sønner, og de drepte Jonatan og Abinadab og Malkisua, Sauls sønner.
3 Og striden blev hård der hvor Saul stod; og bueskytterne kom over ham, og han blev grepet av redsel for skytterne.
4 Da sa Saul til sin våbensvenn: Dra ditt sverd og gjennembor mig med det, så ikke disse uomskårne skal komme og fare ille med mig! Men våbensvennen vilde ikke; han var for redd. Da tok Saul sitt sverd og styrtet sig i det.
5 Og da våbensvennen så at Saul var død, styrtet også han sig i sitt sverd og døde.
6 Således døde Saul og hans tre sønner og hele hans hus; de døde alle sammen.
7 Og da alle israelittene i dalen så at de var flyktet, og at Saul og hans sønner var døde, forlot de sine byer og flyktet; og filistrene kom og bosatte sig i dem.
8 Dagen efter kom filistrene for å plyndre de falne; da fant de Saul og hans sønner liggende på Gilboa-fjellet.
9 De plyndret ham og tok hans hode og hans våben og sendte bud rundt omkring i filistrenes land for å forkynne det glade budskap for sine avguder og for folket.
10 Og hans våben la de i sin guds hus, og hans hjerneskall hengte de op i Dagons hus.
11 Da hele Jabes i Gilead fikk høre alt det filistrene hadde gjort med Saul,
12 drog alle våbenføre menn avsted og tok Sauls og hans sønners kropper og førte dem til Jabes; og de begravde deres ben under terebinten i Jabes og holdt faste i syv dager.
13 Således døde Saul for den troløshets skyld som han hadde vist mot Herren, fordi han ikke hadde holdt sig efter Herrens ord, og likeledes fordi han hadde søkt til dødningemanere for å spørre dem til råds.
14 Men han spurte ikke Herren; derfor lot han ham dø og førte kongedømmet over til David, Isais sønn.
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.
1 Chronicles 10
New King James Version
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.
