Гибель Шаула и его сыновей(A)

10 Филистимляне воевали с Исраилом, и исраильтяне бежали от них и падали сражёнными на горе Гильбоа. Филистимляне нагнали Шаула и его сыновей и убили Ионафана, Авинадава и Малик-Шуа. Вокруг Шаула разгорелась жестокая битва. Лучники нашли его и тяжело ранили.

Шаул сказал своему оруженосцу:

– Обнажи свой меч и заколи меня, иначе эти необрезанные придут и станут глумиться надо мной.

Но его оруженосец не решился сделать этого, потому что сильно испугался. Тогда Шаул взял свой меч и бросился на него. Когда оруженосец увидел, что Шаул мёртв, он тоже бросился на свой меч и умер. Так погибли Шаул и его три сына, и вместе с ними погиб весь его дом.

Увидев, что войско разбежалось, а Шаул и его сыновья погибли, все исраильтяне, которые были в долине, оставили свои города и тоже бежали. А филистимляне пришли и заняли их.

На следующий день, когда филистимляне пришли грабить мёртвых, они нашли Шаула и его сыновей, павших на горе Гильбоа. Они обобрали Шаула, отрубили ему голову, сняли с него оружие и послали вестников по всей филистимской земле, чтобы возвестить об этом в капище своих идолов и народу. 10 Они положили его оружие в храме своих богов, а голову его повесили в храме Дагона[a].

11 Когда весь Иавеш Галаадский услышал обо всём, что филистимляне сделали с Шаулом, 12 то все их храбрые воины отправились в путь, взяли тела Шаула и его сыновей и перенесли их в Иавеш. Они погребли их кости под иавешским дубом и постились семь дней.

13 Шаул погиб, потому что нарушил верность Вечному. Он не слушался слова Вечного, он обратился с вопросом к колдунье, 14 а не к Вечному. И Вечный предал его смерти и передал его царство Давуду, сыну Есея.

10 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 after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

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

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.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

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.

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.

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.

Chapter 10

Death of Saul and His Sons. (A)Now the Philistines went to war against Israel, and Israel fled before them, and they fell, slain on Mount Gilboa. The Philistines pressed hard after Saul and his sons. When the Philistines had struck down Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul, the fury of the battle converged on Saul. Then the archers hit him, and he was severely wounded.

Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through; otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But the armor-bearer, badly frightened, refused, so Saul took his own sword and fell upon it. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell upon his sword and died. Thus Saul, and his three sons, his whole house, died together. When all the Israelites in the valley saw that Saul and his sons had fled and that they had died, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came and lived in those cities.

On the following day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. They stripped him, and took his head and his armor; these they sent throughout the land of the Philistines to bring the good news to their idols and to the people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods, but his skull they impaled at the temple of Dagon.

Burial of Saul. 11 When all the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their warriors set out, recovered the corpses of Saul and his sons, and brought them to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak of Jabesh, and fasted for seven days.(B)

13 [a]Thus Saul died because of his treason against the Lord in disobeying his word, and also because he had sought counsel from a ghost,(C) 14 rather than from the Lord. Therefore the Lord took his life, and turned his kingdom over to David, the son of Jesse.(D)

  1. 10:13–14 The Chronicler explains why Saul met his tragic end: he had disobeyed the Lord’s command given through the prophet Samuel (1 Sm 15:3–9), and had consulted a necromancer (1 Sm 28:6–19), contrary to the Mosaic law (Dt 18:10–11).
