¹Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.

¹掃羅與他的眾子陣亡（撒上31:1~13）非利士人攻打以色列人；以色列人從非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波山上陣亡的人很多。

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

²非利士人緊緊地追趕掃羅和他的兒子；非利士人殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達和麥基舒亞。

³The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.

³攻擊掃羅的戰役非常激烈；弓箭手發現了他，就把他射傷。

⁴Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.

⁴掃羅對替他拿兵器的人說：“拔出你的刀來，把我刺透，免得這些未受割禮的人來凌辱我。”但替他拿兵器的人不肯這樣作，因為他非常害怕；於是掃羅拿出刀來，自己伏在刀上死了。

⁵When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died.

⁵替他拿兵器的人看見掃羅死了，他也伏在刀上死了。

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

⁶這樣，掃羅和他的三個兒子，以及他的全家，都一同死了。

⁷When all the men of Israel who 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 lived in them.

⁷所有在山谷的以色列人，看見以色列軍逃跑，掃羅和他的兒子都死了，他們就棄城逃跑，非利士人就來住在城中。

⁸It happened on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

⁸第二天，非利士人來剝那些被殺的人的衣物的時候，發現掃羅和他的兒子都倒斃在基利波山上。

⁹They stripped him, and took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to their idols, and to the people.

⁹他們就剝了他的衣服，拿了他的頭和兵器，又派人到非利士地的各處，去向他們的偶像和人民報信。

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

¹⁰他們把掃羅的兵器放在他們的神廟裡，把他的頭掛在大袞廟中。

¹¹When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

¹¹基列．雅比人聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事，

¹²all the valiant men arose, 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.

¹²所有的勇士就動身，把掃羅的屍體和他兒子的屍體收殮起來，帶回雅比，把他們的骸骨埋葬在雅比的橡樹下，並且禁食七天。

¹³So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of the word of Yahweh, which he didn’t keep; and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,

¹³掃羅死了，因為他悖逆耶和華，沒有聽從他的話，也因為他去求問那交鬼的，

¹⁴and didn’t inquire of Yahweh: therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

¹⁴沒有求問耶和華，所以耶和華把他殺死了，把國位轉給耶西的兒子大衛。
