31 Ang mga Filisteo nga ay lumaban sa Israel: at ang mga lalake sa Israel ay tumakas sa harap ng mga Filisteo, at nangabuwal na patay sa bundok ng Gilboa.

At hinabol ng panunod ng mga Filisteo si Saul at ang kaniyang mga anak; at pinatay ng mga Filisteo si Jonathan, at si Abinadab, at si Melchisua, na mga anak ni Saul.

At ang pagbabaka ay lumubha laban kay Saul, at inabutan siya ng mga mamamana; at siya'y totoong nahirapan dahil sa mga mamamana.

Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Saul sa kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, Bunutin mo ang iyong tabak at palagpasan mo ako niyaon; baka dumating ang mga hindi tuling ito at ako'y palagpasan, at ako'y kanilang pahirapan. Nguni't ayaw ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata; sapagka't siya'y totoong natakot. Kaya't kinuha ni Saul ang kaniyang tabak, at nagpakabuwal sa kaniyang tabak.

At nang makita ng kaniyang tagadala ng sandata na si Saul ay patay, siya naman ay nagpakabuwal sa kaniyang tabak, at nagpakamatay na kasama niya.

Gayon namatay si Saul, at ang kaniyang tatlong anak, at ang kaniyang tagadala ng sandata, at ang lahat niyang mga lalake nang araw na yaon na magkakasama.

At nang makita ng mga lalake sa Israel na nasa kabilang dako ng libis, at ng mga nasa dako roon ng Jordan, na ang mga lalake sa Israel ay tumakas, at si Saul at ang kaniyang mga anak ay namatay, kanilang iniwan ang mga bayan, at nagsitakas; at naparoon ang mga Filisteo, at tumahan sa mga yaon.

At nangyari nang kinabukasan nang ang mga Filisteo ay dumating upang hubaran ang mga patay, ay kanilang nasumpungan si Saul at ang kaniyang tatlong anak na nabuwal sa bundok ng Gilboa.

At kanilang pinugot ang kaniyang ulo, at hinubad ang kaniyang mga sakbat, at ipinadala sa lupain ng mga Filisteo sa palibot upang ibalita sa mga bahay ng kanilang mga diosdiosan at sa bayan.

10 At kanilang inilagay ang kaniyang sakbat, sa bahay ni Astaroth: at kanilang ibinitin ang bangkay niya sa kuta ng Beth-san.

11 At nang mabalitaan ng mga tumatahan sa Jabes-galaad ang tungkol sa ginawa ng mga Filisteo kay Saul,

12 Lahat ng matapang na lalake ay bumangon at nagsilakad sa buong gabi at kinuha ang bangkay ni Saul at ang mga bangkay ng kaniyang mga anak sa kuta ng Beth-san; at sila'y naparoon sa Jabes, at kanilang pinagsunog doon.

13 At kanilang kinuha ang kanilang mga buto at ibinaon sa ilalim ng isang puno ng tamarisko sa Jabes, at nagayuno silang pitong araw.

31 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.

And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.

Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.

10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.

11 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;

12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.

13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

31 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled away from the Philistines. And they fell down, wounded, on Mount Gilboa.

And the Philistines pressed hard upon Saul and his sons, and killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.

And when the battle went fiercely against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him. And he was badly wounded by the archers.

Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw out your sword and thrust me through with it, lest the uncircumcised come and thrust me through and mock me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. Therefore, Saul took a sword and fell upon it.

And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword, and died with him.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day, together.

And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side of Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had been put to flight, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they left the cities and ran away. And the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

And the next day, when the Philistines had come to plunder those who had been killed, they found Saul and his three sons lying on Mount Gilboa.

And they cut off his head and stripped him out of his armor and sent into the land of the Philistines, on every side, so that they could proclaim it in the temple of their idols, and among the people.

10 And they laid up his armor in the house of Ashtoreth, but they hung up his body on the wall of Beth Shan.

11 When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

12 then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan, and came to Jabesh and burnt them there,

13 and took their bones and buried them under a tree at Jabesh and fasted for seven days.

Saul Takes His Life(A)

31 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa.(B) The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons,(C) and they killed his sons Jonathan,(D) Abinadab and Malki-Shua.(E) The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded(F) him critically.

Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through,(G) or these uncircumcised(H) fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.”

But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him. So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died(I) together that same day.

When the Israelites along the valley and those across the Jordan saw that the Israelite army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.

The next day, when the Philistines(J) came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. They cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news(K) in the temple of their idols and among their people.(L) 10 They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths(M) and fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.(N)

11 When the people of Jabesh Gilead(O) heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their valiant men(P) marched through the night to Beth Shan. They took down the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth Shan and went to Jabesh, where they burned(Q) them. 13 Then they took their bones(R) and buried them under a tamarisk(S) tree at Jabesh, and they fasted(T) seven days.(U)
