1 Chronicles 10

¹And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in Mount Gilboa,

²and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.

³And the battle is heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,

⁴and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come and have abused me.” And the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he fears exceedingly, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it;

⁵and the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul is dead, and falls, he also, on the sword, and dies;

⁶and Saul dies, and his three sons, and all his house—they died together.

⁷And 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.

⁸And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa,

⁹and strip him, and carry away his head and his weapons, and send them into the land of the surrounding Philistines to proclaim tidings to their idols and the people;

¹⁰and they put his weapons in the house of their gods, and have fixed his skull in the house of Dagon.

¹¹And all Jabesh-Gilead hears of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,

¹²and all the men of valor rise and carry away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.

¹³And Saul dies because of his trespass that he trespassed against YHWH, against the word of YHWH that he did not keep, and also for asking to inquire of a familiar spirit;

¹⁴and he did not inquire of YHWH, and He puts him to death, and turns around the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
