1Now the Philistines fought against Israel; the Israelites fled before them, and many fell dead on Mount Gilboa.

1The Philistines were fighting against Israel, and each soldier of Israel fled before the Philistines. They fell slain on the mountain of Gilboa.

2The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua.

2The Philistines followed after Saul and after his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.

3The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him.

3The heaviest fighting was against Saul, and when the archers who were shooting located Saul, he was gravely wounded by them.

4Saul said to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and abuse me." But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it.

4Saul ordered his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised people will come and abuse me." But his armor bearer did not want to do it because he was very frightened, so Saul took the sword and fell on it.

5When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died.

5When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.

6So Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.

6Therefore Saul, his three sons, and all his entire household died together.

7When all the Israelites in the valley saw that the army had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their towns and fled. And the Philistines came and occupied them.

7When that part of the army of Israel that was in the valley saw that the rest of the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and occupied them.

8The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

8The Philistines came to strip the dead the next day, and they found Saul dead on Gilboa mountain, along with his sons.

9They stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and their people.

9They stripped him, took his head and armor, and sent messengers throughout the territory of the Philistines to report the news to their idols and to the people.

10They put his armor in the temple of their gods and hung up his head in the temple of Dagon.

10Then they put Saul's armor in the temple of their gods and fastened his skull to the wall of the temple of Dagon.

11When all the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

11When all the residents of Jabesh-gilead heard everything that the Philistines had done to Saul,

12all their valiant men went and took the bodies of Saul and his sons and brought them to Jabesh. Then they buried their bones under the great tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.

12every valiant soldier got up, removed the bodies of Saul and his sons, took them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh. Then they fasted for seven days.

13Saul died because he was unfaithful to the LORD; he did not keep the word of the LORD and even consulted a medium for guidance,

13So Saul died for his transgressions; that is, he acted unfaithfully to the LORD by transgressing the message from the LORD (which he did not keep), by consulting a medium for advice,

14and did not inquire of the LORD. So the LORD put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.

14and by not seeking counsel from the LORD, who therefore put him to death and turned the kingdom over to Jesse's son David.
