1 Chronicles 10
1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down wounded in mount Gelboe.
Filisterne angreb Israel; og Israels Mænd flygtede for Filisterne, og de faldne laa rundt om paa Gilboas Bjerg.
2 And the Philistines drew near pursuing after Saul, and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchisua the sons of Saul.
Og Filisterne forfulgte Saul og hans Sønner og dræbte Sauls Sønner, Jonatan, Abinadab og Malkisjua.
3 And the battle grew hard against Saul, and the archers reached him, and wounded him with arrows.
Kampen rasede om Saul, og han blev opdaget af Bueskytterne og grebes af stor Angst for dem.
4 And Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and mock me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was struck with fear: so Saul took his sword, and fell upon it.
Da sagde Saul til sin Vaabendrager: »Drag dit Sværd og gennembor mig, for at ikke disse uomskaarne skal komme og mishandle mig!« Men Vaabendrageren vilde ikke, thi han gøs tilbage derfor. Da tog Saul Sværdet og styrtede sig i det,
5 And when his armourbearer saw it, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died.
og da Vaabendrageren saa, at Saul var død, styrtede ogsaa han sig i sit Sværd og døde.
6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house fell together.
Saaledes fulgtes Saul, hans tre Sønner og hele hans Slægt i Døden.
7 And when the men of Israel, that dwelt in the plains, saw this, they fled: and Saul and his sons being dead, they forsook their cities, and were scattered up and down: and the Philistines came, and dwelt in them.
Men da alle Israeliterne i Dalen saa, at Israels Mænd var flygtet, og at Saul og hans Sønner var faldet, forlod de deres Byer og flygtede, hvorpaa Filisterne kom og besatte dem.
8 And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.
Da Filisterne Dagen efter kom for at plyndre de faldne, fandt de Saul og hans Sønner liggende paa Gilboas Bjerg.
9 And when they had stripped him, and cut off his head, and taken away his armour, they sent it into their land, to be carried about, and shewn in the temples of the idols and to the people.
De plyndrede ham da og tog hans Hoved og Vaaben med sig og sendte Bud rundt Filisternes Land for at bringe deres Afguder og Folket Glædesbudet.
10 And his armour they dedicated in the temple of their god, and his head they fastened up in the temple of Dagon.
Vaabnene lagde de i deres Guds Hus, men Hovedskallen hængte de op i Dagons Hus.
11 And when the men of Jabes Galaad had heard this, to wit, all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
Men da alle de, som boede i Gilead, hørte alt, hvad Filisterne havde gjort ved Saul,
12 All the valiant men of them arose, and took the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and brought them to Jabes, and buried their bones under the oak that was in Jabes, and they fasted seven days.
brød alle vaabenføre Mænd op, og de tog Sauls og hans Sønners Lig ned, bragte dem med til Jabesj og jordede deres Ben under Terebinten i Jabesj og fastede syv Dage.
13 So Saul died for his iniquities, because he transgressed the commandment of the Lord, which he had commanded, and kept it not: and moreover consulted also a witch,
Saaledes døde Saul for den Utroskabs Skyld, han havde vist HERREN, fordi han ikke havde givet Agt paa HERRENS Ord, ogsaa fordi han havde adspurgt en Aand for at faa et Raad
14 And trusted not is the Lord: therefore he slew him, and transferred his kingdom to David the son of Isai.
og ikke søgt; Raad hos HERREN. Derfor lod han ham dø, og Kongemagten lod han gaa over til David, Isajs Søn.
