1And the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on mount Gilboa.
1[] Οι δε Φιλισταιοι επολεμουν κατα του Ισραηλ· και εφυγον οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ απο προσωπου των Φιλισταιων και επεσον πεφονευμενοι εν τω ορει Γελβουε.
2And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
2Και καταφθασαντες οι Φιλισταιοι οπισω του Σαουλ και οπισω των υιων αυτου, επαταξαν οι Φιλισταιοι τον Ιωναθαν και τον Αβιναδαβ και τον Μαλχι-σουε, τους υιους του Σαουλ.
3And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him, and he was terrified by the archers.
3Εβαρυνε δε η μαχη επι τον Σαουλ, και επετυχον αυτου οι τοξοται, και επληγωθη υπο των τοξοτων.
4Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.
4Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον οπλοφορον αυτου, Συρε την ρομφαιαν σου και διαπερασον με δι' αυτης, δια να μη ελθωσιν ουτοι οι απεριτμητοι και με εμπαιξωσι· πλην ο οπλοφορος αυτου δεν ηθελε· διοτι εφοβειτο σφοδρα. Οθεν ελαβεν ο Σαουλ την ρομφαιαν και επεσεν επ' αυτην.
5And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
5Και ως ειδεν ο οπλοφορος αυτου οτι απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, επεσε και αυτος επι την ρομφαιαν και απεθανεν·
6So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
6ουτως απεθανεν ο Σαουλ και οι τρεις υιοι αυτου· και πας ο οικος αυτου απεθανεν ομου.
7And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
7Και παντες οι ανδρες Ισραηλ, οι εν τη κοιλαδι, ιδοντες οτι εφευγον και οτι ο Σαουλ και οι υιοι αυτου απεθανον, τοτε κατελιπον τας πολεις αυτων και εφυγον· και ελθοντες οι Φιλισταιοι κατωκησαν εν αυταις.
8And it came to pass the next day, that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
8[] Και την επαυριον, οτε ηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι δια να εκδυσωσι τους πεφονευμενους, ευρηκαν τον Σαουλ και τους υιους αυτου πεπτωκοτας εν τω ορει Γελβουε.
9And they stripped him, and took his head, and his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings to their idols, and to the people.
9Και εξεδυσαν αυτον και ελαβον την κεφαλην αυτου και τα οπλα αυτου και απεστειλαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων κυκλω, δια να διαδωσωσι την αγγελιαν εις τα ειδωλα αυτων και εις τον λαον.
10And they put his armour in the house of their god, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
10Και ανεθεσαν τα οπλα αυτου εις τον οικον των θεων αυτων· και εις τον ναον του Δαγων προσηλωσαν την κεφαλην αυτου.
11And when all they of Jabesh-Gilead heard of all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
11Ακουσαντες δε παντες οι κατοικοι της Ιαβεις-γαλααδ παντα οσα εκαμον οι Φιλισταιοι εις τον Σαουλ,
12all the valiant men arose, and took up the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the terebinth of Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
12ηγερθησαν παντες οι δυνατοι ανδρες και εσηκωσαν το σωμα του Σαουλ και τα σωματα των υιων αυτου και εφεραν αυτα εις Ιαβεις, και εθαψαν τα οστα αυτων υπο την δρυν εν Ιαβεις και ενηστευσαν επτα ημερας.
13And Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he committed against Jehovah, because of the word of Jehovah which he kept not, and also for having inquired of the spirit of Python, asking counsel of it;
13Ουτως απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, δια την ανομιαν αυτου την οποιαν ηνομησεν εις τον Κυριον, εναντιον του λογου του Κυριου, τον οποιον δεν εφυλαξε· και ετι διοτι εζητησεν ανθρωπον εχοντα πνευμα μαντειας, δια να ερωτηση,
14and he asked not counsel of Jehovah; therefore he slew him, and transferred the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.
14και δεν ηρωτησε τον Κυριον· δια τουτο εθανατωσεν αυτον και εστρεψε την βασιλειαν εις τον Δαβιδ τον υιον του Ιεσσαι.
