The Death of Saul

131:1 For ver. 1-13, see 1 Chr. 10:1-12Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines and fell slain 31:1 ch. 28:4; [2 Sam. 1:6, 21; 21:12]on Mount Gilboa.

2And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down 31:2 1 Chr. 8:33Jonathan and 31:2 [ch. 14:49]Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

331:3 [2 Sam. 1:6]The battle pressed hard against Saul, and the archers found him, and he was badly wounded by the archers.

431:4 [Judg. 9:54] Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these 31:4 See Judg. 14:3uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and mistreat me.” But his armor-bearer would not, 31:4 [2 Sam. 1:14] for he feared greatly. Therefore Saul took his own sword 31:4 [2 Sam. 1:10]and fell upon it.

5And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him.

6Thus Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, on the same day together.

7And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and those beyond the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. And the Philistines came and lived in them.

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

9So they cut off his head and stripped off his armor and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines, 31:9 [2 Sam. 1:20] to carry the good news 31:9 [Judg. 16:23, 24]to the house of their idols and to the people.

1031:10 [ch. 21:9] They put his armor in the temple of 31:10 See Judg. 2:13Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of 31:10 Josh. 17:11Beth-shan.

1131:11 2 Sam. 21:10; See ch. 11:1-11But when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

1231:12 2 Sam. 2:4-7all 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 they came to Jabesh 31:12 [2 Chr. 16:14; 21:19; Jer. 34:5]and burned them there.

13And they took their bones 31:13 2 Sam. 21:12, 14and buried them under 31:13 [ch. 22:6] the tamarisk tree in Jabesh and 31:13 [Gen. 50:10]fasted seven days.
