1 Chronicles 10
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Death of Saul and His Sons
10 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, sons of Saul. 3 The battle pressed hard on 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, so that these uncircumcised may not come and make sport of me.’ But his armour-bearer was unwilling, for he was terrified. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 When his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died. 6 Thus Saul died; he and his three sons and all his house died together. 7 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 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 armour, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people. 10 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 everything that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all the valiant warriors got up and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.
13 So Saul died for his unfaithfulness; he was unfaithful to the Lord in that he did not keep the command of the Lord; moreover, he had consulted a medium, seeking guidance, 14 and did not seek guidance from the Lord. Therefore the Lord[b] put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

Muerte de Saúl
10 Los filisteos atacaron y derrotaron a las tropas israelitas, las cuales se volvieron y huyeron. Pero muchos de ellos fueron masacrados en las laderas del monte Guilboa. 2 Los filisteos persiguieron a Saúl y a sus tres hijos Jonatán, Abinadab y Malquisúa, y los mataron. 3 La batalla había arreciado alrededor de Saúl, y los arqueros filisteos dispararon y lo dejaron herido. 4 Entonces Saúl le gritó a su escudero: «Pronto, mátame con tu espada antes que estos incircuncisos me tomen prisionero, se burlen de mí y me torturen».
Como el escudero se sentía atemorizado de hacerlo, Saúl tomó su propia espada, se dejó caer sobre ella, y murió. 5 Entonces su escudero, viendo que Saúl estaba muerto, se mató de la misma manera. 6 Así murieron Saúl y sus tres hijos. En un mismo día desapareció toda la familia.
7 Cuando los israelitas que estaban en el valle, al pie de la montaña, supieron que sus tropas habían sido derrotadas y que Saúl y sus hijos habían muerto, abandonaron sus pueblos y huyeron. Los filisteos ocuparon esos pueblos y vivieron en ellos.
8 Al día siguiente, los filisteos regresaron para apoderarse de los objetos de valor de los que habían muerto en la batalla, y al hacerlo, encontraron los cuerpos de Saúl y sus hijos, tendidos en el monte Guilboa. 9 Procedieron, pues, a despojar a Saúl de su armadura y le cortaron la cabeza; luego la exhibieron por todas partes del país, y celebraron el portentoso acontecimiento delante de sus ídolos. 10 Pusieron la armadura de Saúl en el santuario de sus dioses, y colgaron la cabeza en el santuario del dios Dagón.
11 Cuando los habitantes de Jabés de Galaad se enteraron de lo que los filisteos habían hecho a Saúl, 12 los hombres valientes fueron y rescataron los cuerpos de Saúl y de sus tres hijos. Los sepultaron debajo de la encina de Jabés, y guardaron luto y ayunaron por siete días.
13 Saúl murió porque se rebeló contra el Señor, pues no estuvo dispuesto a obedecer su palabra. Además, en vez de consultar al Señor, fue a consultar a una adivina. 14 Por eso, el Señor le quitó la vida, y le entregó el reino a David hijo de Isaí.

New International Version
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.
