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

¹A Filištíni bojovali proti Izraelovi, a mužovia Izraelovi utekali pred Filištínmi a padli súc pobití na vrchu Gilboe.

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

²A Filištíni stíhali Saula ženúc sa tesne za ním a za jeho synmi. A tak zabili Filištíni Jonatána, Abinadába a Malkišuu, synov Saulových.

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

³A keď bola bitka ťažká na Saula, nadišli na neho strelci z luku, a veľmi sa triasol pred tými strelcami.

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.

⁴Vtedy riekol Saul svojmu zbrojnošovi: vytiahni svoj meč a prebodni ma ním, aby neprišli títo neobrezanci, a nerobili si zo mňa posmechu. Ale jeho zbrojnoš nechcel, lebo sa veľmi bál. Vtedy pochytil Saul meč a naľahol naň.

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

⁵A keď videl jeho zbrojnoš, že zomrel Saul, naľahol aj on na meč a zomrel.

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

⁶Tak zomrel Saul i jeho traja synovia, i celý jeho dom zomrel spolu.

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.

⁷Keď potom videli všetci mužovia Izraelovi, ktorí boli na doline, že utekajú, a že zomrel Saul a jeho synovia, zanechali svoje mestá a tiež utekali. A prišli Filištíni a bývali v nich.

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.

⁸A stalo sa na druhý deň, že prišli Filištíni, aby olúpili pobitých. A našli Saula a jeho synov ležať padlých na vrchu Gilboe.

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.

⁹A olúpili ho a vzali jeho hlavu i jeho zbraň a poslali po zemi Filištínov dookola, aby s radosťou zvestovali ich modlám i ľudu.

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

¹⁰A jeho zbraň složili v dome svojho boha a jeho hlavu pribili v dome Dágonovom.

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

¹¹Ale keď počuli všetci obyvatelia Jabeš-Gileáda všetko, čo urobili Filištíni Saulovi,

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.

¹²vzchopili sa všetci chrabrí mužovia a vzali telo Saulovo i telá jeho synov a doniesli ich do Jabeša a pochovali ich kosti pod dubom v Jabeši a postili sa sedem dní.

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;

¹³A tak zomrel Saul pre svoje prestúpenie, ktorým bol prestúpil proti Hospodinovi zhrešiac proti slovu Hospodinovmu, ktorého neostríhal, a tiež i preto, že sa pýtal duchára pýtajúc si radu.

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

¹⁴A nepýtal sa Hospodina, a preto ho zabil a obrátil kráľovstvo na Dávida, syna Izaiho.
