1 Samuel 31

1Now the PhilistinesH6430 foughtH3898 againstH6440 IsraelH3478: and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the PhilistinesH6430, and fellH5307 downH5307 slainH2491 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533. 2And the PhilistinesH6430 followed hard uponH7586 SaulH7586 and uponH7586 his sonsH1121; and the PhilistinesH6430 slewH5221 JonathanH3083, and AbinadabH41, and Malchi-shuaH4444, the sonsH1121 of SaulH7586. 3And the battleH4421 wentH413 sore againstH413 SaulH7586, and the archersH3384 overtookH4672 him; and he was greatlyH3966 distressed by reason of the archersH3384. 4Then saidH559 SaulH7586 to his armourbearer, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and thrustH1856 meH5921 throughH1856 therewith; lestH6435 theseH428 uncircumcisedH6189 comeH935 and thrustH1856 meH5921 throughH1856, and abuse meH5921. But his armourbearer would notH3808; for he was sore afraidH3372. Therefore SaulH7586 tookH3947 his swordH2719, and fellH5307 uponH5921 it. 5And when his armourbearer sawH7200 that SaulH7586 was deadH4191, he likewise fellH5307 uponH5921 his swordH2719, and diedH4191 with him. 6SoH1571 SaulH7586 diedH4191, and his threeH7969 sonsH1121, and his armourbearer, and allH3605 his menH376, that sameH1931 dayH3117 togetherH3162. 7And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 that were on the otherH5676 sideH5676 of the valleyH6010, and they that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, sawH7200 that the menH376 of IsraelH3478 fledH5127, and that SaulH7586 and his sonsH1121 were deadH4191, they forsook the citiesH5892, and fledH5127; and the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 and dweltH3427 in them. 8And it cameH935 to passH935 on the morrow, when the PhilistinesH6430 cameH935 to stripH6584 the slainH2491, that they foundH4672 SaulH7586 and his threeH7969 sonsH1121 fallenH5307 in mountH2022 GilboaH1533. 9And they cutH3772 offH3772 his headH7218, and strippedH6584 offH3772 his armour, and sentH7971 intoH776 the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 roundH5439 aboutH5439, to carryH1319 the tidingsH1319 unto the houseH1004 of their idolsH6091, and to the peopleH5971. 10And they putH7760 his armour in the houseH1004 of the AshtarothH6252: and they fastenedH8628 his body to the wallH2346 of Beth-shanH1052. 11And when the inhabitantsH3427 of Jabesh-gilead heardH8085 concerning him that whichH834 the PhilistinesH6430 had doneH6213 to SaulH7586, 12allH3605 the valiantH2428 menH376 aroseH6965, and wentH935 allH3605 nightH3915, and tookH3947 the body of SaulH7586 and the bodiesH1472 of his sonsH1121 from the wallH2346 of Beth-shanH1052; and they cameH935 to JabeshH3003, and burntH8313 them there. 13And they tookH3947 their bonesH6106, and buriedH6912 them underH8478 the tamariskH815 treeH815 in JabeshH3003, and fastedH6684 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
