*
Now the Philistines fought against Israel ;
and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines ,
and fell slain on Mount Gilboa .
*
Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons .
And the Philistines killed Jonathan ,
Abinadab ,
and Malchishua ,
Saul '
s sons .
*
The battle became fierce against Saul .
The archers hit him ,
and he was wounded by the archers .
*
Then 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 .
*
And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead ,
he also fell on his sword and died .
*
So Saul and his three sons died ,
and all his house died together .
*
And 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 .
*
So it happened the next day ,
when the Philistines came to strip the slain ,
that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa .
*
And 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 .
*
Then they put his armor in the temple of their gods ,
and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon .
*
And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul ,
*
all 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 .
*
So 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 .
*
But he did not inquire of the LORD ;
therefore He killed him ,
and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse .
