1 Now the Philistines 6430 fought 3898 against Israel 3478; and the men 376 of Israel 3478 fled 5127 from before 6440 the Philistines 6430, and fell down 5307 slain 2491 in mount 2022 Gilboa 1533.
2 And the Philistines 6430 followed hard 1692 after 310 Saul 7586, and after 310 his sons 1121; and the Philistines 6430 slew 5221 Jonathan 3129, and Abinadab 41, and Malchishua 4444, the sons 1121 of Saul 7586.
3 And the battle 4421 went sore 3513 against Saul 7586, and the archers 3384 7198 hit 4672 him, and he was wounded 2342 of the archers 3384.
4 Then said 559 Saul 7586 to his armourbearer 5375 3627, Draw 8025 thy sword 2719, and thrust 1856 me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised 6189 come 935 and abuse 5953 me. But his armourbearer 5375 3627 would 14 not; for he was sore 3966 afraid 3372. So Saul 7586 took 3947 a sword 2719, and fell 5307 upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer 5375 3627 saw 7200 that Saul 7586 was dead 4191, he fell 5307 likewise on the sword 2719, and died 4191.
6 So Saul 7586 died 4191, and his three 7969 sons 1121, and all his house 1004 died 4191 together 3162.
7 And when all the men 376 of Israel 3478 that were in the valley 6010 saw 7200 that they fled 5127, and that Saul 7586 and his sons 1121 were dead 4191, then they forsook 5800 their cities 5892, and fled 5127: and the Philistines 6430 came 935 and dwelt 3427 in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow 4283, when the Philistines 6430 came 935 to strip 6584 the slain 2491, that they found 4672 Saul 7586 and his sons 1121 fallen 5307 in mount 2022 Gilboa 1533.
9 And when they had stripped 6584 him, they took 5375 his head 7218, and his armour 3627, and sent 7971 into the land 776 of the Philistines 6430 round about 5439, to carry tidings 1319 unto their idols 6091, and to the people 5971.
10 And they put 7760 his armour 3627 in the house 1004 of their gods 430, and fastened 8628 his head 1538 in the temple 1004 of Dagon 1712.
11 And when all Jabeshgilead 3003 1568 heard 8085 all that the Philistines 6430 had done 6213 to Saul 7586,
12 They arose 6965, all the valiant 2428 men 376, and took away 5375 the body 1480 of Saul 7586, and the bodies 1480 of his sons 1121, and brought 935 them to Jabesh 3003, and buried 6912 their bones 6106 under the oak 424 in Jabesh 3003, and fasted 6684 seven 7651 days 3117.
13 So Saul 7586 died 4191 for his transgression 4604 which he committed 4603 against the LORD 3068, even against the word 1697 of the LORD 3068, which he kept 8104 not, and also for asking 7592 counsel of one that had a familiar spirit 178, to enquire 1875 of it;
14 And enquired 1875 not of the LORD 3068: therefore he slew 4191 him, and turned 5437 the kingdom 4410 unto David 1732 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448.
