The Tragic End of Saul and His Sons

31Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.H6430H3898H3478H582H3478H5127H6440H6430H5307H2491H2022H1533 2Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.H6430H1692H7586H1121H6430H5221H3083H41H4444H7586H1121 3The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.H4421H3513H7586H3384H582H7198H4672H3966H2342H3384H582H7198 4Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.H559H7586H5375H3627H8025H2719H1856H6189H935H1856H5953H5375H3627H14H3966H3372H7586H3947H2719H5307 5And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.H5375H3627H7200H7586H4191H5307H2719H4191 6So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.H7586H4191H7969H1121H5375H3627H582H3117H3162 7And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.H582H3478H5676H6010H5676H3383H7200H582H3478H5127H7586H1121H4191H5800H5892H5127H6430H935H3427 8So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.H4283H6430H935H6584H2491H4672H7586H7969H1121H5307H2022H1533 9And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the temple of their idols and among the people.H3772H7218H6584H3627H7971H776H6430H5439H1319H1004H6091H5971 10Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.H7760H3627H1004H6252H1045H8628H1472H2346H1052 11Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,H3427H3003H1568H8085H6430H6213H7586 12all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.H2428H376H381H6965H3212H3915H3947H1472H7586H1472H1121H2346H1052H935H3003H8313 13Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.H3947H6106H6912H815H3003H6684H7651H3117
