1 Crônicas 10

A morte de Saul e de seus filhos

1 *1Sm 31.1-13Ora, os filisteus pelejaram contra Israel; os homens de Israel fugiram de diante dos filisteus e caíram mortos no monte de Gilboa. 2 Os filisteus perseguiram a Saul e a seus filhos e mataram a Jônatas, a Abinadabe e a Malquisua, filhos de Saul. 3 A batalha tornou-se rija contra Saul; os flecheiros alcançaram-no, e ele se angustiou por causa deles. 4 Então, disse Saul ao seu escudeiro: Desembainha a tua espada e atravessa-me com ela; não suceda virem estes incircuncidados e zombarem de mim. O seu escudeiro, porém, não quis, porque temia muito. Portanto, Saul pegou na sua espada e lançou-se sobre ela. 5 Vendo o seu escudeiro que Saul estava morto, ele mesmo também se lançou sobre a sua espada e morreu. 6 Assim, morreram Saul e seus três filhos; e toda a sua casa pereceu juntamente.

7 Todos os homens de Israel que estavam no vale, vendo a fuga e que Saul e seus filhos eram mortos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram; vieram os filisteus e habitaram nelas. 8 No dia seguinte, vindo os filisteus a despojar os mortos, acharam a Saul e a seus filhos estirados no monte de Gilboa. 9 Despojaram-no, e tomaram-lhe a cabeça e as armas, e enviaram mensageiros para a terra dos filisteus em redor, a levar essas notícias aos seus ídolos e ao povo. 10 Puseram as armas dele na casa dos seus deuses e pregaram-lhe a cabeça na casa de Dagom. 11 Tendo toda Jabes-Gileade ouvido tudo o que os filisteus haviam feito a Saul, 12 levantaram-se todos os homens valentes, e tiraram o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos, levaram-nos a Jabes, enterraram os ossos debaixo do carvalho em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.

13 *1Sm 13.13-14;15.23Assim, morreu Saul por causa do delito que havia cometido contra Jeová, cuja palavra não observou; e também *1Sm 28.7por causa da consulta que fez para indagar a um espírito familiar, 14 deixando de o fazer a Jeová, que, por isso, o matou e *1Cr 12.23;1Sm 15.28transferiu o reino para Davi, filho de Jessé.

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.
