1 Samuel 31
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel. And the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
И иноплеменницы воеваху на Израиля, и бежаша мужие Израилевы от лица иноплеменнича, и падаху язвеннии на горе Гелвуе.
2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
И снидошася иноплеменницы с Саулом и с сынми его, и убиша иноплеменницы Ионафана и Аминадава и Мелхисуа, сыны Сауловы.
3 And the battle went severely against Saul, and the archers overtook him, and he was greatly distressed because of the archers.
И отяготе брань на Саула, и обретоша его копейницы мужие стрелцы, и уязвен бысть (Саул) во утробу.
4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, Draw thy 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 very afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
И рече Саул к носящему оружие его: изсуни мечь твой и прободи мя им, да не приидут необрезаннии сии и избодут мя, и поругаются мне. И не хотяше носяй оружие его, яко убояся зело. И взя Саул мечь свой и паде на него.
5 And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell upon his sword, and died with him.
И виде носяй оружие его, яко умре Саул, и паде и той на мечь свой и умре с ним.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armor bearer, and all his men, that same day together.
И умре Саул и трие сынове его, и носяй оружие его, и вси мужие его в день той купно.
7 And when 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 dwelt in them.
И видеша мужие Израилстии, иже об он пол юдоли и иже об он пол Иордана, яко бежаша мужие Израилстии, и яко умре Саул и сынове его, и оставиша грады своя и бежаша: и приидоша иноплеменницы и вселишася в них.
8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
И бысть на утрие, и приидоша иноплеменницы обнажити мертвых, и обретоша Саула и три сыны его падшыя на горе Гелвуе,
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about to carry the news to the house of their idols, and to the people.
и обратиша его, и сняша оружие его, и отсекоша главу его, и послаша в землю иноплеменничу окрест возвещающе идолом их и людем их:
10 And they put his armor in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
и положиша оружие его у Астарта, тело же его воткнуша на стене Вефсамли.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard concerning him, that which the Philistines had done to Saul,
И услышаша живущии во Иависе Галаадитийстем, яже сотвориша иноплеменницы Саулу,
12 all 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.
и восташа вси мужие сильнии, и идоша всю нощь, и взяша тело Саулово и тело Ионафана сына его с стены Вефсамски, и принесоша я во Иавис, и сожгоша я тамо:
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
и взяша кости их, и погребоша я в дубраве яже во Иависе, и постишася седмь дний.
