CHAP. XXXI. 4 Saul killeth himselfe. 6 His children are slaine in the battel. 12 The men of Fabesh tooke downe his body, which was hanged on the wall. Sauls death, and his sonnes.


1   Now note the Philistims fought against Israel, & the m&ebar; of Israel fled away from þe; Philistims, and they fell downe note wounded in mount Gilboa.


2   And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes.


3   And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen note hit him, and hee was sore note wounded of the archers.


4   Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, note Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it.


5   And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, & dyed with him.


6   So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour 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 note valley, and they of the other side note Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them.


8   ¶2; And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa,


9   And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, & sent into the land of þe; Philistims on euery side, þt; they should note publish it in the temple of their idoles, & among the people.


10   And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan.


11   ¶2; When the inhabitants of note Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul,


12   Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and note burnt them there,


13   And tooke their bones and note buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and note fasted seuen dayes.
