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

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

²And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines smote Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.

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

³And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers came up with him; and he was much terrified by the archers.

³A tedy tiaž boja sa obrátila proti Saulovi, a keď nadišli na neho strelci, mužovia s lukami, veľmi sa triasol pred tými strelcami.

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.

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

⁵And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him.

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

⁶So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.

⁶A tak zomrel Saul a jeho traja synovia a jeho zbrojnoš i všetci jeho mužovia toho dňa spolu.

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.

⁷A keď videli mužovia Izraelovi, ktorí boli na druhej strane doliny, jako aj tí, ktorí boli za Jordánom, že utekajú mužovia Izraelovi, a že zomrel Saul i jeho synovia, opustili tie mestá a tiež utekali. A prišli Filištíni a bývali v nich.

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.

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

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.

⁹A odťali jeho hlavu, zobrali mu jeho zbraň a poslali po zemi Filištínov dookola, aby to s radosťou zvestovali v dome ich modiel i ľudu.

¹⁰And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.

¹⁰Potom složili jeho zbraň v dome Astaróty a jeho mŕtve telo pribili na múre mesta Bét-šána.

¹¹And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead heard of what the Philistines had done to Saul,

¹¹Ale keď počuli o tom obyvatelia Jabeš-gileáda, o tom, čo urobili Filištíni Saulovi,

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.

¹²vzchopili sa všetci chrabrí mužovia a išli celú noc a vzali mŕtve telo Saulovo i mŕtve telá jeho synov s múra mesta Bét-šána a keď prišli do Jabeša, spálili ich tam.

¹³And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

¹³Potom vzali ich kosti a pochovali ich pod tým stromom v Jabeši a postili sa sedem dní.
