1 Chronicles
Chapter 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel
fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons;
and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the
sons of Saul.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him,
and he was wounded of the archers.
4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me
through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his
armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword,
and fell upon it.
5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise on the sword, and died.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died
together.
7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that
they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook
their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to
strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount
Gilboa.
9 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his
armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry
tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened
his head in the temple of Dagon.
11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had
done to Saul,
12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul,
and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried
their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against
the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and
also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire
of it;
14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned
the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
