1 Chronicles 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.*10.1 slain: or, wounded 2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.*10.2 Abinadab: also called, Ishui 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.*10.3 and the archers: Heb. and the shooters with bows*10.3 hit: Heb. found 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.*10.4 abuse me: or, mock me 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 Jabesh-gilead 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;*10.13 committed: Heb. transgressed 14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.*10.14 Jesse: Heb. Isai

Israel é derrotado e Saul morre

1 Samuel 31:1-7

1 E os filisteus pelejaram com Israel; e os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos filisteus, e caíram mortos nas montanhas de Gilboa. 2 E os filisteus perseguiram a Saul e aos seus filhos; e os filisteus mataram a Jônatas, a Abinadabe e a Malquisua, filhos de Saul. 3 E a peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram; e temeu muito aos flecheiros. 4 Então disse Saul ao seu escudeiro: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela; para que porventura não venham estes incircuncisos e escarneçam de mim. Porém o seu escudeiro não quis, porque temia muito; então tomou Saul a espada, e se lançou sobre ela.

5 Vendo, pois, o seu escudeiro que Saul estava morto, também ele se lançou sobre a espada e morreu. 6 Assim morreram Saul e seus três filhos; e toda a sua casa morreu juntamente.

7 E, vendo todos os homens de Israel, que estavam no vale, que haviam fugido, e que Saul e seus filhos eram mortos, deixaram as suas cidades, e fugiram; então vieram os filisteus, e habitaram nelas.

O enterro de Saul

1 Samuel 31:8-13

8 E sucedeu que, no dia seguinte, vindo os filisteus a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus filhos caídos no monte de Gilboa. 9 E o despojaram, e tomaram a sua cabeça e as suas armas, e as enviaram pela terra dos filisteus em redor, para o anunciarem a seus ídolos e ao povo. 10 E puseram as suas armas na casa do seu deus, e a sua cabeça afixaram na casa de Dagom. 11 Ouvindo, pois, toda a Jabes de Gileade tudo quanto os filisteus fizeram a Saul, 12 Então todos os homens valorosos se levantaram, e tomaram o corpo de Saul, e os corpos de seus filhos, e os trouxeram a Jabes; e sepultaram os seus ossos debaixo de um carvalho em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.

13 Assim morreu Saul por causa da transgressão que cometeu contra o Senhor, por causa da palavra do Senhor, a qual não havia guardado; e também porque buscou a adivinhadora para a consultar. 14 E não buscou ao Senhor, que por isso o matou, e transferiu o reino a Davi, filho de Jessé.
