| 31:1 | Now the Philistines <06430> fought <03898> (8737) against Israel <03478>: and the men <0582> of Israel <03478> fled <05127> (8799) from before <06440> the Philistines <06430>, and fell down <05307> (8799) slain <02491> in mount <02022> Gilboa <01533>. {slain: or, wounded} |
| 31:2 | And the Philistines <06430> followed hard <01692> (8686) upon Saul <07586> and upon his sons <01121>; and the Philistines <06430> slew <05221> (8686) Jonathan <03083>, and Abinadab <041>, and Malchishua <04444>, Saul's <07586> sons <01121>. |
| 31:3 | And the battle <04421> went sore <03513> (8799) against Saul <07586>, and the archers <03384> (8688) <0582> <07198> hit <04672> (8799) him; and he was sore <03966> wounded <02342> (8799) of the archers <03384> (8688) <0582> <07198>. {and the archers: Heb. and the shooters, men with bows} {hit...: Heb. found him} |
| 31:4 | Then said <0559> (8799) Saul <07586> unto his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627>, Draw <08025> (8798) thy sword <02719>, and thrust me through <01856> (8798) therewith; lest these uncircumcised <06189> come <0935> (8799) and thrust me through <01856> (8804), and abuse <05953> (8694) me. But his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627> would <014> (8804) not; for he was sore <03966> afraid <03372> (8804). Therefore Saul <07586> took <03947> (8799) a sword <02719>, and fell <05307> (8799) upon it. {abuse...: or, mock me} |
| 31:5 | And when his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627> saw <07200> (8799) that Saul <07586> was dead <04191> (8804), he fell <05307> (8799) likewise upon his sword <02719>, and died <04191> (8799) with him. |
| 31:6 | So Saul <07586> died <04191> (8799), and his three <07969> sons <01121>, and his armourbearer <05375> (8802) <03627>, and all his men <0582>, that same day <03117> together <03162>. |
| 31:7 | And when the men <0582> of Israel <03478> that [were] on the other side <05676> of the valley <06010>, and [they] that [were] on the other side <05676> Jordan <03383>, saw <07200> (8799) that the men <0582> of Israel <03478> fled <05127> (8804), and that Saul <07586> and his sons <01121> were dead <04191> (8804), they forsook <05800> (8799) the cities <05892>, and fled <05127> (8799); and the Philistines <06430> came <0935> (8799) and dwelt <03427> (8799) in them. |
| 31:8 | And it came to pass on the morrow <04283>, when the Philistines <06430> came <0935> (8799) to strip <06584> (8763) the slain <02491>, that they found <04672> (8799) Saul <07586> and his three <07969> sons <01121> fallen <05307> (8802) in mount <02022> Gilboa <01533>. |
| 31:9 | And they cut off <03772> (8799) his head <07218>, and stripped off <06584> (8686) his armour <03627>, and sent <07971> (8762) into the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430> round about <05439>, to publish <01319> (8763) [it in] the house <01004> of their idols <06091>, and among the people <05971>. |
| 31:10 | And they put <07760> (8799) his armour <03627> in the house <01004> of Ashtaroth <06252> (8677) <01045>: and they fastened <08628> (8804) his body <01472> to the wall <02346> of Bethshan <01052>. |
| 31:11 | And when the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jabeshgilead <03003> <01568> heard <08085> (8799) of that which the Philistines <06430> had done <06213> (8804) to Saul <07586>; {of that: or, concerning him that} |
| 31:12 | All the valiant <02428> men <0376> (8677) <0381> arose <06965> (8799), and went <03212> (8799) all night <03915>, and took <03947> (8799) the body <01472> of Saul <07586> and the bodies <01472> of his sons <01121> from the wall <02346> of Bethshan <01052>, and came <0935> (8799) to Jabesh <03003>, and burnt <08313> (8799) them there. |
| 31:13 | And they took <03947> (8799) their bones <06106>, and buried <06912> (8799) [them] under a tree <0815> at Jabesh <03003>, and fasted <06684> (8799) seven <07651> days <03117>. |
