撒母耳记上 31
1 非利士人与以色列人争战。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被杀仆倒的。
Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
2 非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们，就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单、亚比拿达、麦基舒亚。
The Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
3 势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was greatly distressed by reason of the archers.
4 就吩咐拿他兵器的人说：“你拔出刀来，将我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。”但拿兵器的人甚惧怕，不肯刺他；扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。
Then Saul said to his armour bearer, “Draw your 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 terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
When his armour bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword, and died with him.
6 这样，扫罗和他三个儿子，与拿他兵器的人，以及跟随他的人，都一同死亡。
So Saul died with his three sons, his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together.
7 住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，也就弃城逃跑。非利士人便来住在其中。
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 abandoned the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
8 次日，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，
On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
9 就割下他的首级，剥了他的军装，打发人到非利士地的四境，报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民；
They cut off his head, stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to carry the news to the house of their idols and to the people.
10 又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯·珊的城墙上。
They put his armour in the house of the Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.
11 基列·雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，
When the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
12 他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯·珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了；
all the valiant men arose, 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.
13 将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
They took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
