1 Chronicles 10
- 1Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down killed in mount Gilboa.
- 2And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons. The Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
- 3And the battle went badly for Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
- 4Then Saul said to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it. Or else these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. So Saul took a sword, and fell on it.
- 5And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
- 6So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
- 7And 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 abandoned their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and lived in them.
- 8The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the killed, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
- 9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines around, to carry news to their idols, and to the people.
- 10And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
- 11And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
- 12They arose, all the brave 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.
- 13So Saul died for his rebellion which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he did not keep, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to ask it.
- 14And did not ask the Lord: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
