Saul’s Death
10:1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel . The Israelites fled before the Philistines and many of them fell dead on Mount Gilboa .
10:2 The Philistines stayed right on the heels of Saul and his sons . They struck down Saul’s sons Jonathan , Abinadab , and Malki-Shua .
10:3 The battle was thick around Saul ; the archers spotted him and wounded him.
10:4 Saul told his armor bearer , “Draw your sword and stab me with it. Otherwise these uncircumcised people will come and torture me.” But his armor bearer refused to do it, because he was very afraid . So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
10:5 When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead , he also fell on his sword and died .
10:6 So Saul and his three sons died ; his whole household died together .
10:7 When all the Israelites who were in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead , they abandoned their cities and fled . The Philistines came and occupied them.
10:8 The next day , when the Philistines came to strip loot from the corpses , they discovered Saul and his sons lying dead on Mount Gilboa .
10:9 They stripped his corpse, and then carried off his head and his armor . They sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines proclaiming the news to their idols and their people .
10:10 They placed his armor in the temple of their gods and hung his head in the temple of Dagon .
10:11 When all the residents of Jabesh Gilead heard about everything the Philistines had done to Saul ,
