31Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.H6430H3898H3478H582H3478H5127H6440H6430H5307H2491H2022H15332And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.H6430H1692H7586H1121H6430H5221H3083H41H4444H7586H11213And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.H4421H3513H7586H3384H582H7198H4672H3966H2342H3384H582H71984Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.H559H7586H5375H3627H8025H2719H1856H6189H935H1856H5953H5375H3627H14H3966H3372H7586H3947H2719H53075And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.H5375H3627H7200H7586H4191H5307H2719H41916So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.H7586H4191H7969H1121H5375H3627H582H3117H31627And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.H582H3478H5676H6010H5676H3383H7200H582H3478H5127H7586H1121H4191H5800H5892H5127H6430H935H34278And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.H4283H6430H935H6584H2491H4672H7586H7969H1121H5307H2022H15339And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.H3772H7218H6584H3627H7971H776H6430H5439H1319H1004H6091H597110And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.H7760H3627H1004H6252H1045H8628H1472H2346H105211And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;H3427H3003H1568H8085H6430H6213H758612All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.H2428H376H381H6965H3212H3915H3947H1472H7586H1472H1121H2346H1052H935H3003H831313And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.H3947H6106H6912H815H3003H6684H7651H3117

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
