Chapter 10
Saul’s Death and Burial. 1 Now the Philistines attacked Israel, and Israel fled from the Philistines. Many fell and were killed at Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul. 3 The fighting around Saul became fierce when the archers hit him. The archers wounded him. 4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Take out your sword and run me through lest these uncircumcised men come and mock me.” But he was terrified, so Saul took out a sword and fell on it. 5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he, too, fell on his sword and died. 6 Saul and his three sons died, and his whole household died with him.
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. The Philistines came and occupied them.
8 The next day the Philistines came up to strip the dead, and they found Saul and his sons who had fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped him, taking his head and his armor. They sent word throughout the surrounding land of the Philistines proclaiming the news among their idols and their people. 10 They placed his armor in the shrine of their gods, hanging his head in the shrine of Dagon.[a]
11 When all the people in Jabesh-gilead heard about everything that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all of their brave men rose up and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons. They brought them to Jabesh and buried their bones under the oak tree in Jabesh. They then fasted for seven days.
13 [b]Saul died because of the transgressions that he had committed against the Lord, against the word of the Lord which he did not observe, for he even consulted with a medium to make inquiry. 14 He did not inquire from the Lord. He slew him and turned the kingdom over to David, the son of Jesse.

When the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant, they brought it to the temple of Dagon in Ashdod (1 Sam 5:1-5). It was finally destroyed by the Maccabees (1 Mac 10:84).

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.

Смрт Саула и његових синова
10 Филистејци су ступили у бој против Израиљаца, али су Израиљци побегли пред Филистејцима, па су падали мртви на гори Гелвуји. 2 Филистејци су притисли Саула и његове синове и убили Јонатана, Авинадава и Малхи-Сува, Саулове синове. 3 Битка се жестоко водила око Саула. А онда су га стрелци погодили и ранили га.
4 Тада Саул рече своме штитоноши: „Извади свој мач и прободи ме, да не дођу ови необрезани и наругају ми се.“
Али штитоноша није хтео, јер се веома уплашио. Тада је Саул узео мач и бацио се на њега. 5 Кад је његов штитоноша видео да је Саул мртав, и он се бацио на мач и умро.
6 Тако су погинули и Саул и његова три сина, и сав његов дом.
7 Кад су Израиљци који су били у долини видели да су Израиљци побегли и да су погинули Саул и његови синови, напустили су своје градове и побегли. Тада су дошли Филистејци и населили се у њима.
8 Сутрадан, кад су Филистејци дошли да опљачкају мртве, нашли су Саула и његове синове, који су погинули на гори Гелвуји. 9 Тада су га свукли, одсекли му главу и скинули оружје с њега, и то су послали по филистејској земљи да разгласе радосну вест својим идолима и народу. 10 Његово оружје су ставили у храм својих богова, а главу су му обесили у Дагоновом храму.
11 Кад су сви мештани Јавис-Галада чули шта су Филистејци урадили Саулу, 12 дигли су се сви храбри људи, па су скинули Саулово тело и тела његових синова и донели их у Јавис. Њихове кости су сахранили под тамариском у Јавису. Затим су постили седам дана.
13 Тако је Саул умро због својег неверства које је починио против Господа, јер није држао реч Господњу, и још је тражио савет од призивача духова. 14 И пошто није тражио савет од Господа, Господ га је убио и пренео царство на Давида, сина Јесејевог.

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.
