1 Samuel 31
Now
the
a
Philistines
fought
against
Israel:
and
the
men
of
Israel
fled
from
before
the
Philistines,
and
fell
down
slain
in
mount
Gilboa.
2 And
the
Philistines
followed
hard
upon
Saul
and
upon
his
sons;
and
the
Philistines
slew
Jonathan,
and
Abinadab,
and
Malchi-shua,
Saul's
sons.
3 And
the
battle
went
sore
against
Saul,
and
the
archers
hit
him;
and
he
was
sore
wounded
of
the
archers.
4 Then
said
Saul
unto
his
armourbearer,
Draw
thy
sword,
and
thrust
me
through
therewith;
lest
these
uncircumcised
come
and
thrust
me
through,
and
abuse
me.
But
his
armourbearer
would
not;
for
he
was
sore
afraid.
Therefore
Saul
took
a
sword,
and
a
fell
upon
it.
5 And
when
his
armourbearer
saw
that
a
Saul
was
dead,
he
fell
likewise
upon
his
sword,
and
died
with
him.
6 So
Saul
died,
and
his
three
sons,
and
his
armourbearer,
and
all
his
men,
that
same
day
together.
7 And
when
the
men
of
Israel
that
were
on
the
other
side
of
the
valley,
and
they
that
were
on
the
other
side
Jordan,
saw
that
the
men
of
Israel
fled,
and
that
Saul
and
his
sons
were
dead,
they
forsook
the
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
three
sons
fallen
in
mount
Gilboa.
9 And
they
cut
off
his
head,
and
stripped
off
his
armour,
and
sent
into
the
land
of
the
Philistines
round
about,
to
publish
it
in
the
house
of
their
idols,
and
among
the
people.
10 And
they
put
his
armour
in
the
house
of
Ashtaroth:
and
they
fastened
his
a
body
to
the
wall
of
Beth-shan.
11 And
when
the
inhabitants
of
a
Jabesh-gilead
heard
of
that
which
the
Philistines
had
done
to
Saul;
12 All
the
valiant
men
arose,
and
went
all
night,
and
took
the
body
of
Saul
and
the
bodies
of
his
sons
from
the
wall
of
Beth-shan,
and
came
to
Jabesh,
and
burnt
them
there.
13 And
they
took
their
bones,
and
buried
them
under
a
tree
at
Jabesh,
and
fasted
seven
days.
