The .xxxi. Chapter.
The battel betwixt the Philistines and Israell.
Saul kylleth hym selfe, and hys children are slayne
in the battell.
A noteAnd as the Philistines fought
agaynst Israel, the men of Israell
fleed awaye from the Philistines,
and fell doune deade
in mount Gelboe. And the Philistines
folowed after Saul and hys sonnes,
and slewe Ionathas, Abinadab and Melchisua
Sauls sonnes. And the battel w&ebar;t sore
agaynst Saul, in so much þt; shoters &wt; bowes
had founde hym, ∧ he was sore wounded of
the shoters. Then sayde Saul vnto hys harnesbearer:
note draw out thy swerde and thrust
B
me thorow therwyth lest these vncyrcumcised
come thrust me troughe and make me a mockinge
stocke of me. But hys harnesbearer
woulde not, for he was sore afrayed. Wherfore
Saul toke a swerde and fel vpon it. And
when hys harnesbearer sawe that Saul was
dead, he fell lykewyse vpon hys swerde and
dyed wyth hym. And so Saul dyed and hys
thre sonnes and hys harnesbearer, and therto
all hys men, that same daye together.
C When the men of Israel that were in the
other syde the valeye, and they of the other
syde Iordan, hearde that the men of Israell
were put to flyghte, and that Saul and hys
sonnes were deade, they left the cytyes, ∧ ran
awaye, and the Philistines came and dwelt
in them. noteOn the morow when the Philistines
were come to strippe th&ebar; that were slaine,
they founde Saul and hys thre sonnes lyinge
in mount Gelboe. And they cut of hys head,
and strypped him out of his harnesse, ∧ sent
into the land of the Philistines euery where,
to publyshe in the houses of their Goddes ∧
to the people. And they hanged vp hys harnesse
in the house of Astaroth,
D but they hanged
vp hys carkase on the walles of Bethsan.
When the enhabyters of Iabes in Galaad
hearde therof, what the Philistines had done
to Saul, they arose as manye as were men of
warre and went all nyght and toke the karkasse
of Saul ∧ the karkases of hys sonnes
from the walles of Bethsan ∧ brought
them to Iabes and note burnt them
there and toke theyr bones ∧
buryed them vnder a
Tree at Iabes, ∧
fasted seuen
dayes.
¶ The ende of the fyrst boke of Samuell,
whyche they commenly cal the
fyrst of the Kynges.
