CHAP. XXXI.
1 Saul, having lost his army, and his sons being
slain, he and his armor-bearer kill themselves.
7 The Philistines possess the forsaken
towns of the Israelites. 8 They triumph
over the dead carcasses. 11 They of Jabesh-gilead,
recovering the bodies by night, burn
them at Jabesh, and mournfully bury their
bones.
1 Now note the Philistines fought against
Israel: and the men of Israel fled
from before the Philistines, and fell down
note slain in mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard
upon Saul and upon his sons; and the
Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab,
and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
3 And the battle was severe against
Saul, and the note archers note hit him; and
he was severely wounded by the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armor-bearer,
Draw thy sword, and thrust me through
with it; lest these uncircumcised should
come and thrust me through, and note abuse
me. But his armor-bearer would not;
for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore
Saul took a sword, and fell upon
it.
5 And when his armor-bearer saw that
Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his
sword, and died with him.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and
his armor-bearer, and all his men, that
same day together.
7 ¶2; And when the men of Israel that
were on the other side of the valley, and
they that were on the other side of Jordan,
saw that the men of Israel fled, and
that Saul and his sons were dead, they
forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines
came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow,
when the Philistines came to strip the
slain, that they found Saul and his three
sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped
off his armor, and sent into the land
of the Philistines round about, to publish
it in the house of their idols, and among
the people.
10 And they put his armor in the
house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened
his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 ¶2; And when the inhabitants of
Jabesh-gilead heard note of that which the
Philistines had done to Saul,
12 All the valiant men arose, and went
all night, and took the body of Saul, and
the bodies of his sons from the wall of
Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and
note burnt them there.
13 And they took their bones, and
note buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and
fasted seven days.
