The Death of Saul and His Sons

31The Philistines fought against Israel, and Israel's men fled from them. Many were killed on Mount Gilboa.H6430H3898H3478H582H3478H5127H6440H6430H5307H2491H2022H1533
2The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons and killed his sons, Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.H6430H1692H7586H1121H6430H5221H3083H41H4444H7586H1121
3When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers caught up with him and severely wounded him.H4421H3513H7586H3384H582H7198H4672H3966H2342H3384H582H7198
4Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and run me through and torture me." But his armor-bearer would not do it because he was terrified. Then Saul took his sword and fell on it.H559H7586H5375H3627H8025H2719H1856H6189H935H1856H5953H5375H3627H14H3966H3372H7586H3947H2719H5307
5When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died with him.H5375H3627H7200H7586H4191H5307H2719H4191
6So on that day, Saul died together with his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men.H7586H4191H7969H1121H5375H3627H582H3117H3162
7When the men of Israel on the other side of the valley and on the other side of the Jordan saw that Israel's men had run away and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled. So the Philistines came and settled in them.H582H3478H5676H6010H5676H3383H7200H582H3478H5127H7586H1121H4191H5800H5892H5127H6430H935H3427
8The next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons dead on Mount Gilboa.H4283H6430H935H6584H2491H4672H7586H7969H1121H5307H2022H1533
9They cut off Saul's head, stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to spread the good news in the temples of their idols and among the people.H3772H7218H6584H3627H7971H776H6430H5439H1319H1004H6091H5971
10Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.H7760H3627H1004H6252H1045H8628H1472H2346H1052
11When the residents of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,H3427H3003H1568H8085H6430H6213H7586
12all their brave men set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they arrived at Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.H2428H376H381H6965H3212H3915H3947H1472H7586H1472H1121H2346H1052H935H3003H8313
13Afterwards, they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh and fasted seven days.H3947H6106H6912H815H3003H6684H7651H3117
