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

¹وحارب الفلسطينيون اسرائيل فهرب رجال اسرائيل من امام الفلسطينيين وسقطوا قتلى في جبل جلبوع.

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

²وشدّ الفلسطينيون وراء شاول ووراء بنيه وضرب الفلسطينيون يوناثان وابيناداب وملكيشوع ابناء شاول.

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

³واشتدّت الحرب على شاول فاصابته رماة القسي فانجرح من الرماة.

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.

⁴فقال شاول لحامل سلاحه استلّ سيفك واطعنّي به لئلا ياتي هؤلاء الغلف ويطعنوني ويقبحوني. فلم يشأ حامل سلاحه لانه خاف جدا. فاخذ شاول السيف وسقط عليه.

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

⁵فلما رأى حامل سلاحه انه قد مات شاول سقط هو ايضا على السيف ومات.

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

⁶فمات شاول وبنوه الثلاثة وكل بيته ماتوا معا.

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.

⁷ولما رأى جميع رجال اسرائيل الذين في الوادي انهم قد هربوا وان شاول وبنيه قد ماتوا تركوا مدنهم وهربوا فأتى الفلسطينيون وسكنوا بها

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.

⁸وفي الغد لما جاء الفلسطينيون ليعرّوا القتلى وجدوا شاول وبنيه ساقطين في جبل جلبوع.

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.

⁹فعرّوه واخذوا راسه وسلاحه وارسلوا الى ارض الفلسطينيين في كل ناحية لاجل تبشير اصنامهم والشعب.

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

¹⁰ووضعوا سلاحه في بيت آلهتهم وسمّروا راسه في بيت داجون.

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

¹¹ولما سمع كل يابيش جلعاد بكل ما فعل الفلسطينيون بشاول

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.

¹²قام كل ذي بأس وأخذوا جثة شاول وجثث بنيه وجاءوا بها الى يابيش ودفنوا عظامهم تحت البطمة في يابيش وصاموا سبعة ايام.

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;

¹³فمات شاول بخيانته التي بها خان الرب من اجل كلام الرب الذي لم يحفظه. وايضا لاجل طلبه الى الجان للسؤال

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

¹⁴ولم يسأل من الرب فاماته وحوّل المملكة الى داود بن يسّى
