¹Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

¹掃羅與他的眾子陣亡（撒上31:1~13）非利士人攻打以色列人；以色列人從非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波山上陣亡的人很多。

²And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

²非利士人緊緊地追趕掃羅和他的兒子；非利士人殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達和麥基舒亞。

³And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

³攻擊掃羅的戰役非常激烈；弓箭手發現了他，就把他射傷。

⁴Then 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.

⁴掃羅對替他拿兵器的人說：“拔出你的刀來，把我刺透，免得這些未受割禮的人來凌辱我。”但替他拿兵器的人不肯這樣作，因為他非常害怕；於是掃羅拿出刀來，自己伏在刀上死了。

⁵And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

⁵替他拿兵器的人看見掃羅死了，他也伏在刀上死了。

⁶So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

⁶這樣，掃羅和他的三個兒子，以及他的全家，都一同死了。

⁷And 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.

⁷所有在山谷的以色列人，看見以色列軍逃跑，掃羅和他的兒子都死了，他們就棄城逃跑，非利士人就來住在城中。

⁸And 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.

⁸第二天，非利士人來剝那些被殺的人的衣物的時候，發現掃羅和他的兒子都倒斃在基利波山上。

⁹And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.

⁹他們就剝了他的衣服，拿了他的頭和兵器，又派人到非利士地的各處，去向他們的偶像和人民報信。

¹⁰And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

¹⁰他們把掃羅的兵器放在他們的神廟裡，把他的頭掛在大袞廟中。

¹¹And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

¹¹基列．雅比人聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事，

¹²They 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.

¹²所有的勇士就動身，把掃羅的屍體和他兒子的屍體收殮起來，帶回雅比，把他們的骸骨埋葬在雅比的橡樹下，並且禁食七天。

¹³So 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;

¹³掃羅死了，因為他悖逆耶和華，沒有聽從他的話，也因為他去求問那交鬼的，

¹⁴And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

¹⁴沒有求問耶和華，所以耶和華把他殺死了，把國位轉給耶西的兒子大衛。
