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
