Book 13 : 1 CHRONICLES - Chapter 010
010:001
And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his
sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and
Malchishua, the sons of Saul
010:002
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit
him, and he was wounded of the archers
010:003
Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust
me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse
me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So
Saul took a sword, and fell upon it
010:004
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise on the sword, and died
010:005
So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died
together
010:006
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
010:007
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
010:008
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
010:009
And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and
fastened his head in the temple of Dagon
010:010
And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had
done to Saul
010:011
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
010:012
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 enquire of it
010:013
And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and
turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse
