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.(A) 2 The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, the 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 armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, so that these uncircumcised may not come and make sport of me.” But his armor-bearer was unwilling, for he was terrified. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.(B) 5 When his armor-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 armor 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 armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.(C) 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 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,(D) 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.(E)

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.

10 Filistar höfðu lagt til orustu við Ísrael. Höfðu Ísraelsmenn flúið fyrir Filistum, og lágu margir fallnir á Gilbóafjalli.
2 Og Filistar eltu Sál og sonu hans og felldu Jónatan, Abínadab og Malkísúa, sonu Sáls.
3 Var nú gjörð hörð atlaga að Sál, og höfðu bogmenn komið auga á hann. Varð hann þá hræddur við bogmennina.
4 Þá sagði Sál við skjaldsvein sinn: "Bregð þú sverði þínu og legg mig í gegn með því, svo að óumskornir menn þessir komi ekki og fari háðulega með mig." En skjaldsveinninn vildi ekki gjöra það, því að hann var mjög hræddur. Þá tók Sál sverðið og lét fallast á það.
5 Og er skjaldsveinninn sá, að Sál var dauður, þá lét hann og fallast á sverð sitt og dó.
6 Þannig létu þeir líf sitt, Sál, synir hans þrír og allir ættmenn hans. Létu þeir lífið saman.
7 Þegar allir Ísraelsmenn þeir er á sléttlendinu bjuggu, sáu, að Ísraelsmenn voru flúnir, og Sál og synir hans fallnir, þá yfirgáfu þeir borgir sínar og lögðu á flótta. Og Filistar komu og settust að í þeim.
8 Daginn eftir komu Filistar að ræna valinn. Fundu þeir þá Sál og sonu hans þrjá fallna á Gilbóafjalli.
9 Flettu þeir hann klæðum og tóku höfuð hans og herklæði og gjörðu sendimenn um allt Filistaland til þess að flytja skurðgoðum sínum og lýðnum gleðitíðindin.
10 Og þeir lögðu vopn hans í hof guðs síns, en hauskúpu hans festu þeir upp í hofi Dagóns.
11 Þegar allir þeir, er bjuggu í Jabes í Gíleað, fréttu allt það, er Filistar höfðu gjört við Sál,
12 þá tóku sig til allir vopnfærir menn, tóku lík Sáls og lík sona hans og fluttu þau til Jabes. Síðan jörðuðu þeir bein þeirra undir eikinni í Jabes og föstuðu í sjö daga.
13 Þannig lét Sál líf sitt sakir ótrúmennsku sinnar við Drottin, sakir þess að hann eigi varðveitti boð Drottins, og einnig sakir þess, að hann hafði gengið til frétta við vofu,
14 en við Drottin hafði hann eigi gengið til frétta. Hann lét hann þess vegna deyja, en konungdóminn hverfa undir Davíð Ísaíson.

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.
