New International Version

1Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

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

2Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.

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

3The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers.

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

4Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

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.

5And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.

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

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

7And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; then the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

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.

8So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

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

9And they stripped him and took his head and his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temple of their idols and among the people.

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.

10Then they put his armor in the temple of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

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

11And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

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

12all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

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.

13So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.

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,

14But he did not inquire of the LORD; therefore He killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

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