1 Now the Philistines 6430 fought 3898 against Israel 3478: and the men 582 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 upon Saul 7586 and upon his sons 1121; and the Philistines 6430 slew 5221 Jonathan 3083, and Abinadab 41, and Malchishua 4444, Saul's 7586 sons 1121.
3 And the battle 4421 went sore 3513 against Saul 7586, and the archers 3384 582 7198 hit 4672 him; and he was sore 3966 wounded 2342 of the archers 3384 582 7198.
4 Then said 559 Saul 7586 unto his armourbearer 5375 3627, Draw 8025 thy sword 2719, and thrust me through 1856 therewith; lest these uncircumcised 6189 come 935 and thrust me through 1856, and abuse 5953 me. But his armourbearer 5375 3627 would 14 not; for he was sore 3966 afraid 3372. Therefore 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 upon his sword 2719, and died 4191 with him.
6 So Saul 7586 died 4191, and his three 7969 sons 1121, and his armourbearer 5375 3627, and all his men 582, that same day 3117 together 3162.
7 And when the men 582 of Israel 3478 that were on the other side 5676 of the valley 6010, and they that were on the other side 5676 Jordan 3383, saw 7200 that the men 582 of Israel 3478 fled 5127, and that Saul 7586 and his sons 1121 were dead 4191, they forsook 5800 the 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 three 7969 sons 1121 fallen 5307 in mount 2022 Gilboa 1533.
9 And they cut off 3772 his head 7218, and stripped off 6584 his armour 3627, and sent 7971 into the land 776 of the Philistines 6430 round about 5439, to publish 1319 it in the house 1004 of their idols 6091, and among the people 5971.
10 And they put 7760 his armour 3627 in the house 1004 of Ashtaroth 6252 1045: and they fastened 8628 his body 1472 to the wall 2346 of Bethshan 1052.
11 And when the inhabitants 3427 of Jabeshgilead 3003 1568 heard 8085 of that which the Philistines 6430 had done 6213 to Saul 7586;
12 All the valiant 2428 men 376 381 arose 6965, and went 3212 all night 3915, and took 3947 the body 1472 of Saul 7586 and the bodies 1472 of his sons 1121 from the wall 2346 of Bethshan 1052, and came 935 to Jabesh 3003, and burnt 8313 them there.
13 And they took 3947 their bones 6106, and buried 6912 them under a tree 815 at Jabesh 3003, and fasted 6684 seven 7651 days 3117.
