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 are
fighting
against 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 follow
Saul and his sons, and the
Philistines
smite
Jonathan, and
Abinadab, and Malchishua ,
sons
of
Saul
.
When
the battle intensified
against Saul, the archers overtook
him and wounded
him
critically.
And
the battle is
hard
against Saul, and
the archers find
him --
men
with
bow
--
and he
is
pained
greatly
by
the
archers;
Then
Saul said
to his
armor-
bearer, “
Draw your
sword and run
it
through
me, or
these uncircumcised men
will
come
and run
me through
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
to the
bearer of
his
weapons
, `
Draw thy
sword ,
and pierce
me with
it
, lest
they
come
--
these uncircumcised --
and have
pierced
me ,
and rolled
themselves
on
me ;'
and
the
bearer of
his
weapons
hath
not
been
willing,
for
he
is
greatly
afraid,
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
with him .
And
the
bearer of
his
weapons
seeth
that Saul `is'
dead, and
he falleth
--
he
also
--
on his sword ,
and dieth
with him ;
So
Saul, his
three sons, his
armor-
bearer, and
all his men died
together
that same
day.
and
Saul dieth
, and
three of
his
sons, and
the
bearer of
his
weapons
, also
all his men ,
on
that day together
.
When
the Israelites
along
the valley and those
on
the
other
side
of
the Jordan saw
that the army
of Israel 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
they
see
--
the men
of
Israel,
who
`are'
beyond
the valley ,
and who
`are'
beyond
the Jordan --
that the men
of Israel have
fled ,
and that Saul and his sons have
died, and
they forsake
the
cities and flee,
and
Philistines come
in,
and dwell
in
them
.
The next
day
, when
the Philistines came
to strip the dead
, they found
Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa .
And
it
cometh
to
pass
on
the morrow
, that
the Philistines come
to strip the wounded
, and
they find
Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa ,
They cut off Saul’s
head, stripped
off his armor
, and sent
messengers
throughout
the land of the Philistines to proclaim the
news
in the temples
of their idols and among their
people .
and
they cut off his
head, and
strip
off his weapons
, and send
into
the land of the Philistines round
about,
to proclaim tidings
`
in '
the house
of their idols ,
and `
among '
the
people ;
They put
his armor
in the temple
of the
Ashtoreths
and hung
his body on the wall of Beth-shan.
and
they place
his weapons
`
in '
the house
of Ashtaroth,
and his body they
have
fixed
on the wall of Beth-Shan.
When
the people
of Jabesh-gilead heard
what
the Philistines had
done to Saul,
And
they
hear
regarding
it
--
the inhabitants
of Jabesh-Gilead --
that
which
the Philistines have
done to Saul,
all their
men of valor
set
out
, journeyed
all night, and retrieved
the bodies
of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan .
When
they
arrived
at
Jabesh, they
burned
the
bodies
there .
and
all the
men of valour
arise
, and
go
all the
night, and take
the body
of Saul ,
and the
bodies
of
his sons ,
from the wall of Beth-Shan ,
and
come
in
to
Jabesh, and
burn
them
there ,
Then
they took
their bones and buried
them under the tamarisk tree
in Jabesh, and they
fasted
seven days.
and
they take
their bones ,
and bury
`
them '
under the tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast
seven days.
