1Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
1非利士人擊敗以色列人（代上10:1）非利士人與以色列人交戰。以色列人從非利士人面前逃跑，有很多人在基利波山上倒斃。
2The Philistines followed hard on Saul and on his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
2掃羅自刎與其三子陣亡（代上10:2~7）非利士人緊緊追趕掃羅和他的眾子，擊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 greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
3戰爭激烈，掃羅受到猛烈的攻擊，弓箭手發現了他，射箭的人射中了他，他的傷勢嚴重；
4Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me!” But his armor bearer would not; for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell on it.
4掃羅就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把我刺透，戲弄我。”但替他拿兵器的人不肯這樣作，因為他非常害怕。於是掃羅拿過刀來，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 with him.
5替他拿兵器的人看見掃羅死了，他也伏在自己的刀上，與掃羅一起死了。
6So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
6這樣，掃羅和他的三個兒子，以及替他拿兵器的人，還有所有跟隨他的人，都在那一天一同死了。
7When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were beyond 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 lived in them.
7在山谷那邊，和約旦河那邊的以色列人，看見以色列人逃跑，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 three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
8焚燒掃羅及其眾子之屍（代上10:8~12）第二天，非利士人來剝那些被殺的人的衣物的時候，發現掃羅和他的三個兒子都倒斃在基利波山上，
9They cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols, and to the people.
9就砍下他的頭，解下他的兵器，又派人到非利士地的各處，去向他們的偶像的廟和人民報信。
10They put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
10他們把掃羅的兵器放在亞斯他錄的廟裡，又把他的屍體釘在伯．珊的城牆上。
11When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard concerning him that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
11基列．雅比的居民聽見非利士人向掃羅所行的事，
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 they came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
12所有的勇士就動身，走了一整夜，把掃羅的屍體和他三個兒子的屍體都從伯．珊的城牆上取下來，帶回雅比，在那裡把他們燒了，
13They took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
13又把他們的骸骨埋葬在雅比的垂柳樹下，並且禁食七天。
