1Ch 10:1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel
fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
1Ch 10:2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and
the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
1Ch 10:3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he
was wounded of the archers.
1Ch 10:4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me
through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his
armour-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell
upon it.
1Ch 10:5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on
the sword, and died.
1Ch 10:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
1Ch 10:7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they
fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and
fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
1Ch 10:8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip
the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
1Ch 10:9 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and
sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their
idols, and to the people.
1Ch 10:10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his
head in the temple of Dagon.
1Ch 10:11 And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to
Saul,
1Ch 10:12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and
the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under
the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
1Ch 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the
Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking
counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;
1Ch 10:14 And inquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the
kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
