1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 The Philistines followed hard after Sauland his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. 3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him.
4 Then Saulsaid to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me!"
But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saultook his own sword and fell on it.
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saulwas dead, he too fell on his own sword and died. 6 So Sauldied together with his three sons and all his house.
The Philistines Possess the Towns
7 When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Sauland his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.
8 The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Sauland his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. 9 They stripped Saul, cut off his head, took his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistinesto proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among their people. 10 They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon.
Jabesh-gilead’s Tribute to Saul
11 When all the people of Jabesh-gileadheard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 all their men of valor set out and retrieved the bodies of Sauland his sons and brought them to Jabesh. And they buried their bones under the oak10:12 Or terebinth or great treein Jabeshand fasted seven days.
13 So Sauldied for his unfaithfulness to the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance, 14 and he failed to inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to Davidson of Jesse.
