* And the Philistines fought with Israel . And the men of Israel fled from the face of the Philistines , and fell wounded in Mount Gilboa . * And the Philistines pursued Saul and his sons ; and the Philistines struck Jonathan , and Abinadab , and Malchishua , the sons of Saul . * And the battle was heavy on Saul , and the archers found him with the bow ; and he was wounded by the archers . * And Saul said to his armor-bearer , Draw your sword and pierce me with it , that these uncircumcised ones not come and abuse me . And the armor-bearer was not willing , for he exceedingly feared . And Saul took the sword and fell on it . * And the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead , and he also fell on the sword and died . * And Saul and his three sons died , and all his house ; they died together . * And all the men of Israel in the valley saw that they had fled , and that Saul and his sons had died . And they forsook their cities and ran away . And the Philistines came and lived in them . * And it happened on the next day , the Philistines came to strip those pierced . And they found Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa . * And they stripped him , and carried his head and his weapons , and sent into the land of the Philistines all around to proclaim the news to their idols and the people . * And they put his weapons in the house of their gods ; and they fastened his skull in the house of Dagon . * And all Jabesh-gilead heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul . * And all the valiant men arose and carried away Saul 's body , and the bodies of his sons , and brought them to Jabesh . And they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh ; and fasted seven days . * And Saul died because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah , against the word of Jehovah that he did not keep , and also for asking of a medium , to inquire ; * and did not inquire of Jehovah . Then He killed him , and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse .
