Young's Literal Translation
Now
the Philistines fought against
Israel, and the men of Israel fled
before
them
, and many
fell
slain
on
Mount Gilboa .
And
the Philistines have
fought with
Israel, and the men of Israel flee
from
the
face
of
the
Philistines
, and fall
wounded
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 pursue
after Saul ,
and after
his sons, and the
Philistines
smite
Jonathan, and
Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua,
sons
of
Saul
.
When
the battle intensified
against
Saul, the archers
overtook
him and wounded him.
And
the battle `is'
heavy
on
Saul, and
those
shooting
with
the bow
find
him ,
and he
is
wounded by
those
shooting,
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 .
and
Saul saith
unto
the
bearer of
his
weapons
, `
Draw thy
sword ,
and pierce
me with
it
, lest
these uncircumcised come --
and have
abused
me .'
And
the
bearer of
his
weapons
hath
not
been
willing,
for
he
feareth
exceedingly,
and Saul taketh
the
sword ,
and falleth
upon
it ;
When
his
armor-
bearer saw
that Saul was
dead, he too
fell
on his
own
sword and died.
and
the
bearer of
his
weapons
seeth
that Saul `is'
dead, and
falleth,
he also,
on the
sword ,
and dieth;
So
Saul died
together
with
his three sons and all his house.
and
Saul dieth,
and
his three sons ,
and all his house --
together
they
died
.
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
all the men
of
Israel
who
`are'
in the valley see
that they
have
fled ,
and that Saul and his sons have
died, and
they forsake
their cities and flee,
and
the Philistines come
and dwell
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
cometh
to
pass,
on
the morrow
, that
the Philistines come
to strip the wounded
, and
find
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
strip
him
, and
bear
away
his head, and
his weapons
, and send
into
the land of the Philistines round
about
to proclaim tidings
`to'
their idols and the
people ,
They
put his armor
in the temple
of their gods and hung
his head
in the temple
of Dagon.
and
put his weapons
in the house
of their gods ,
and his skull
they
have
fixed
in the house
of Dagon.
When
the
people
of
Jabesh-gilead heard
about
everything
the Philistines had
done to Saul,
And
all
Jabesh-Gilead hear
of
all
that
the Philistines have
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.
and
all the
men of valour
rise
and bear
away
the body
of Saul ,
and the
bodies
of
his sons ,
and bring
them in
to Jabesh ,
and bury
their bones under the oak in Jabesh ,
and fast
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
,
And
Saul dieth
because of
his
trespass
that
he trespassed
against
Jehovah,
against
the word of Jehovah
that
he
kept
not,
and also
for asking
at
a
familiar
spirit
--
to
inquire
, --
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 he inquired
not
at
Jehovah,
and
He
putteth
him to death ,
and turneth
round
the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
