1 Samuel 31:1-12

31:1

Now the Philistines
<06430>

fought
<03898> (8737)

against Israel
<03478>_:

and the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

fled
<05127> (8799)

from before
<06440>

the Philistines
<06430>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

slain
<02491>

in mount
<02022>

Gilboa
<01533>_.

{slain: or, wounded}

31:2

And the Philistines
<06430>

followed hard
<01692> (8686)

upon Saul
<07586>

and upon his sons
<01121>_;

and the Philistines
<06430>

slew
<05221> (8686)

Jonathan
<03083>_,

and Abinadab
<041>_,

and Malchishua
<04444>_,

Saul's
<07586>

sons
<01121>_.

31:3

And the battle
<04421>

went sore
<03513> (8799)

against Saul
<07586>_,

and the archers
<03384> (8688) <0582> <07198>

hit
<04672> (8799)

him; and he was sore
<03966>

wounded
<02342> (8799)

of the archers
<03384> (8688) <0582> <07198>_.

{and the archers: Heb. and the shooters, men with bows} {hit...: Heb. found him}

31:4

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

unto his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

Draw
<08025> (8798)

thy sword
<02719>_,

and thrust me through
<01856> (8798)

therewith; lest these uncircumcised
<06189>

come
<0935> (8799)

and thrust me through
<01856> (8804)_,

and abuse
<05953> (8694)

me. But his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

would
<014> (8804)

not; for he was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8804)_.

Therefore Saul
<07586>

took
<03947> (8799)

a sword
<02719>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

upon it. {abuse...: or, mock me}

31:5

And when his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Saul
<07586>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

he fell
<05307> (8799)

likewise upon his sword
<02719>_,

and died
<04191> (8799)

with him.

31:6

So Saul
<07586>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and his three
<07969>

sons
<01121>_,

and his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,

and all his men
<0582>_,

that same day
<03117>

together
<03162>_.

31:7

And when the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

that [were] on the other side
<05676>

of the valley
<06010>_,

and [they] that [were] on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the men
<0582>

of Israel
<03478>

fled
<05127> (8804)_,

and that Saul
<07586>

and his sons
<01121>

were dead
<04191> (8804)_,

they forsook
<05800> (8799)

the cities
<05892>_,

and fled
<05127> (8799)_;

and the Philistines
<06430>

came
<0935> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in them.

31:8

And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,

when the Philistines
<06430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to strip
<06584> (8763)

the slain
<02491>_,

that they found
<04672> (8799)

Saul
<07586>

and his three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

fallen
<05307> (8802)

in mount
<02022>

Gilboa
<01533>_.

31:9

And they cut off
<03772> (8799)

his head
<07218>_,

and stripped off
<06584> (8686)

his armour
<03627>_,

and sent
<07971> (8762)

into the land
<0776>

of the Philistines
<06430>

round about
<05439>_,

to publish
<01319> (8763)

[it in] the house
<01004>

of their idols
<06091>_,

and among the people
<05971>_.

31:10

And they put
<07760> (8799)

his armour
<03627>

in the house
<01004>

of Ashtaroth
<06252> (8677) <01045>_:

and they fastened
<08628> (8804)

his body
<01472>

to the wall
<02346>

of Bethshan
<01052>_.

31:11

And when the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>

heard
<08085> (8799)

of that which the Philistines
<06430>

had done
<06213> (8804)

to Saul
<07586>_;

{of that: or, concerning him that}

31:12

All the valiant
<02428>

men
<0376> (8677) <0381>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

all night
<03915>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

the body
<01472>

of Saul
<07586>

and the bodies
<01472>

of his sons
<01121>

from the wall
<02346>

of Bethshan
<01052>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jabesh
<03003>_,

and burnt
<08313> (8799)

them there.
