1 And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
1 LOS Filisteos pues pelearon con Israel, y los de Israel huyeron delante de los Filisteos, y cayeron muertos en el monte de Gilboa.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
2 Y siguiendo los Filisteos á Saúl y á sus hijos, mataron á Jonathán, y á Abinadab, y á Melchîsua, hijos de Saúl.
3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.
3 Y agravóse la batalla sobre Saúl, y le alcanzaron los flecheros; y tuvo gran temor de los flecheros.
4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
4 Entonces dijo Saúl á su escudero: Saca tu espada, y pásame con ella, porque no vengan estos incircuncisos, y me pasen, y me escarnezcan. Mas su escudero no quería, porque tenía gran temor. Entonces tomó Saúl la espada, y echóse sobre ella.
5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him.
5 Y viendo su escudero á Saúl muerto, él también se echó sobre su espada, y murió con él.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
6 Así murió Saúl en aquel día, juntamente con sus tres hijos, y su escudero, y todos sus varones.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and [they] that were on this side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
7 Y los de Israel que eran de la otra parte del valle, y de la otra parte del Jordán, viendo que Israel había huído, y que Saúl y sus hijos eran muertos, dejaron las ciudades y huyeron; y los Filisteos vinieron y habitaron en ellas.
8 And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
8 Y aconteció el siguiente día, que viniendo los Filisteos á despojar los muertos, hallaron á Saúl y á sus tres hijos tendidos en el monte de Gilboa;
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people.
9 Y cortáronle la cabeza, y desnudáronle las armas; y enviaron á tierra de los Filisteos al contorno, para que lo noticiaran en el templo de sus ídolos, y por el pueblo.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
10 Y pusieron sus armas en el templo de Astaroth, y colgaron su cuerpo en el muro de Beth-san.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
11 Mas oyendo los de Jabes de Galaad esto que los Filisteos hicieron á Saúl,
12 all 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 came to Jabesh, and burned them there.
12 Todos los hombres valientes se levantaron, y anduvieron toda aquella noche, y quitaron el cuerpo de Saúl y los cuerpos de sus hijos del muro de Beth-san; y viniendo á Jabes, quemáronlos allí.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13 Y tomando sus huesos, sepultáronlos debajo de un árbol en Jabes, y ayunaron siete días.
