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 upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.
2Και κατεφθασαν οι Φιλισταιοι τον Σαουλ και τους υιους αυτου· και επαταξαν οι Φιλισταιοι τον Ιωναθαν και τον Αβιναδαβ και τον Μελχι-σουε, τους υιους του Σαουλ.
3And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.
3Εβαρυνε δε η μαχη επι τον Σαουλ, και επετυχον αυτον οι ανδρες οι τοξοται και επληγωθη βαρεως υπο των τοξοτων.
4Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, 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 διαπερασωσι 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 his sword, and died with him.
5Και ως ειδεν ο οπλοφορος αυτου οτι απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, επεσε και αυτος επι την ρομφαιαν αυτου και απεθανε μετ' αυτου.
6So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
6ουτως απεθανεν ο Σαουλ και οι τρεις υιοι αυτου, και ο οπλοφορος αυτου και παντες οι ανδρες αυτου, την αυτην εκεινην ημεραν ομου.
7And when the men of Israel that were on this side of the valley, and [they] that were on this side of the 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.
7Και οι ανδρες Ισραηλ, οι περαν της κοιλαδος, και οι περαν του Ιορδανου, ιδοντες οτι εφυγον οι ανδρες Ισραηλ και οτι ο Σαουλ και οι υιοι αυτου απεθανον, κατελιπον τας πολεις 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 three sons fallen on mount Gilboa.
8[] Και την επαυριον, οτε ηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι δια να εκδυσωσι τους πεφονευμενους, ευρηκαν τον Σαουλ και τους τρεις υιους αυτου πεπτωκοτας επι το ορος Γελβουε.
9And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent [them] into the land of the Philistines round about, to announce the glad tidings in the houses of their idols, and to the people.
9Και απεκοψαν την κεφαλην αυτου και εξεδυσαν τα οπλα αυτου και απεστειλαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων κυκλω, δια να διαδωσωσι την αγγελιαν εις τον οικον των ειδωλων αυτων και μεταξυ του λαου.
10And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
10Και ανεθεσαν τα οπλα αυτου εις τον οικον της Ασταρωθ, και εκρεμασαν το σωμα αυτου εις το τειχος Βαιθ-σαν.
11And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,
11Ακουσαντες δε περι τουτου οι κατοικοι της Ιαβεις-γαλααδ, τι εκαμον οι Φιλισταιοι εις τον Σαουλ,
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 burned them there.
12ηγερθησαν παντες οι δυνατοι ανδρες και ωδοιπορησαν ολην την νυκτα και ελαβον το σωμα του Σαουλ και τα σωματα των υιων αυτου απο του τειχους Βαιθ-σαν, και ηλθον εις Ιαβεις και εκαυσαν αυτα εκει·
13And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13και ελαβον τα οστα αυτων και εθαψαν υπο το δενδρον εν Ιαβεις και ενηστευσαν επτα ημερας.
