King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
1Καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφύλοι ἐπολέμουν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ προσώπου τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, καὶ πίπτουσι τραυματίαι ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Γελβουέ.
2And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul’s sons.
2Καὶ συνάπτουσιν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τύπτουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι τὸν Ἰωναθάν, καὶ τὸν Ἀμιναδὰβ, καὶ τὸν Μελχισᾶ υἱὸν Σαούλ.
3And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
3Καὶ βαρύνεται ὁ πόλεμος ἐπὶ Σαοὺλ, καὶ εὑρίσκουσιν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀκοντισταὶ ἄνδρες τόξοται, καὶ ἐτραυματίσθη εἰς τὰ ὑποχόνδρια.
4Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
4Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, σπάσαι τὴν ῥομφαίαν σου καὶ ἀποκέντησόν με ἐν αὐτῇ, μὴ ἔλθωσιν οἱ ἀπερίτμητοι οὗτοι καὶ ἀποκεντήσωσί με καὶ ἐμπαίξωσιν ἐμοί· καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα· καὶ ἔλαβε Σαοὺλ τὴν ῥομφαίαν, καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτήν.
5And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
5Καὶ εἶδεν ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαοὺλ, καὶ ἐπέπεσε καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέθανε μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
6So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
6Καὶ ἀπέθανε Σαοὺλ, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ κατὰ τὸ αὐτό.
7¶ And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side 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.
7Καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τῆς κοιλάδος καὶ οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, ὅτι ἔφυγον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκε Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταλείπουσι τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν καὶ φεύγουσι· καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐταῖς.
8And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
8Καὶ ἐγενήθη τῇ ἐπαύριον ἔρχονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐκδιδύσκειν τοὺς νεκροὺς, καὶ εὑρίσκουσι τὸν Σαοὺλ καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ πεπτωκότας ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη Γελβούε.
9And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
9Καὶ ἀποστρέφουσιν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐξέδυσαν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων, κύκλῳ εὐαγγελίζοντες τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν καὶ τῷ λαῷ.
10And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
10Καὶ ἀνέθηκαν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ Ἀσταρτεῖον, καὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ κατέπηξαν ἐν τῷ τείχει Βαιθσάμ.
11¶ And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
11Καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἰαβὶς τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῷ Σαούλ.
12All 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 burnt them there.
12Καὶ ἀνέστησαν πᾶς ἀνὴρ δυνάμεως, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ σῶμα Σαοὺλ καὶ τὸ σῶμα Ἰωνάθαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τοῦ τείχους Βαιθσὰμ, καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἰαβὶς, καὶ κατακαίουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.
13And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13Καὶ λαμβάνουσιν τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν, καὶ θάπτουσιν ὑπὸ τὴν ἄρουραν τὴν ἐν Ἰαβὶς, καὶ νηστεύουσιν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας.
