1 Meanwhile, the Philistines were fighting Israel at Mount Gilboa. Israel’s soldiers ran from the Philistines, and many of them were killed. 2 The Philistines closed in on Sauland his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua. 3 The fighting was fierce around Saul, and he was badly wounded by enemy arrows.
4 Saultold the soldier who carried his weapons, "Kill me with your sword! I don’t want these worthless Philistines to torture and make fun of me." But the soldier was afraid to kill him.
Saulthen took out his own sword; he stuck the blade into his stomach, and fell on it. 5 When the soldier knew that Saulwas dead, he killed himself in the same way.
6 Saulwas dead, his three sons were dead, and the soldier who carried his weapons was dead. They and all his soldiers died on that same day. 7 The Israelites on the other side of Jezreel Valley31.7 Jezreel Valley: Hebrew "valley." Shunem (see 28.4) and Gilboa (see verse 1) were across the Jezreel Valley from each other.and the other side of the Jordanlearned that Sauland his sons were dead. They saw that the Israelite army had run away. So they ran away too, and the Philistines moved into the towns the Israelites had left behind.
8 The day after the battle, when the Philistines returned to the battlefield to take the weapons of the dead Israelite soldiers, they found Sauland his three sons lying dead on Mount Gilboa. 9,10 The Philistinescut off Saul’s head and pulled off his armor. Then they put his armor in the temple of the goddess Astarte, and they nailed his body to the city wall of Beth-Shan. They also sent messengers everywhere in Philistiato spread the good news in the temples of their idols and among their people.
11 The people who lived in Jabeshin Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul’s body. 12 So one night, some brave men from Jabeshwent to Beth-Shan. They took down the bodies of Sauland his sons, then brought them back to Jabeshand burned them. 13 They buried the bones under a small tree in Jabesh, and for seven days, they went without eating to show their sorrow.
