King James Version
Now the Philistines fought against Israel ,
and the men of Israel fled before them
, and many
fell slain on
Mount Gilboa.
Now the Philistines fought against Israel ;
and the men of Israel fled from
before the
Philistines
, and fell down
slain in
mount Gilboa.
The Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons ,
and they
killed
Saul’s
sons
Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
And
the Philistines followed hard after Saul ,
and after
his sons ;
and the
Philistines
slew
Jonathan, and
Abinadab, and Malchishua ,
the
sons
of
Saul
.
When
the battle intensified
against Saul, the archers overtook
him and wounded him
.
And
the battle went
sore
against Saul, and
the archers hit
him ,
and he
was
wounded of
the
archers
.
Then Saul
said to his armor-bearer
, “
Draw your
sword and run
it
through
me ,
or
these uncircumcised men
will
come and torture
me !”
But his armor-bearer
was terrified
and
refused
to
do
it
. So Saul took his
own
sword and fell on
it.
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.
When his armor-bearer
saw that Saul was dead, he too
fell on his
own
sword and died.
And
when his armourbearer
saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise
on the
sword ,
and died.
So Saul died together
with
his three sons and all his house.
So Saul died ,
and
his three sons ,
and all his house died
together
.
When all the Israelites
in the valley saw that the
army
had
fled and that Saul and his sons had
died
, they abandoned
their cities and ran
away.
So
the Philistines came and occupied
their
cities
.
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
.
The next
day
, when the Philistines came to strip the dead
, they found Saul and his sons fallen on
Mount Gilboa.
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.
They stripped Saul
, cut
off
his head, took
his armor, and sent messengers
throughout
the land of the Philistines to proclaim
the
news
in
the
temple
of
their idols and among
their
people.
And
when
they had
stripped him
, they
took
his head, and
his armor, and sent into
the land of the Philistines round
about,
to carry
tidings
unto
their idols ,
and to
the
people.
They put his armor in the temple
of their gods and hung
his head in the temple of Dagon.
And
they put his armor in the house
of their gods ,
and fastened
his head in the temple of Dagon.
When the
people
of
Jabesh-gilead
heard about
everything
the Philistines had done to Saul,
And
when all
Jabeshgilead
heard all
that
the Philistines had done to Saul,
all their
men of
valor
set
out
and retrieved
the bodies
of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh .
And they
buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.
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.
So Saul died for his unfaithfulness
to
the LORD, because
he
did
not
keep
the word of the LORD and even
consulted
a
medium
for guidance
,
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;
and he
failed
to
inquire
of the LORD .
So
the
LORD
put
him to
death
and turned the kingdom over
to
David son of Jesse.
And inquired
not
of the LORD :
therefore
he
slew
him ,
and turned the kingdom unto
David the
son of Jesse.
