I Paralipomenon 10
1 Philisthiim autem pugnabant contra Israel, fugeruntque viri Israel Palæsthinos, et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe.
And the Philistines have fought with Israel, and the men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall wounded in mount Gilboa,
2 Cumque appropinquassent Philisthæi persequentes Saul, et filios eius, percusserunt Ionathan, et Abinadab, et Melchisua filios Saul.
and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
3 Et aggravatum est prælium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii, et vulneraverunt iaculis.
And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
4 Et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum: Evagina gladium tuum, et interfice me: ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti, et illudant mihi. Noluit autem armiger eius hoc facere, timore perterritus: arripuit ergo Saul ensem, et irruit in eum.
and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, 'Draw thy sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come — and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth upon it;
5 Quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum, et mortuus est.
and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
6 Interiit ergo Saul, et tres filii eius, et omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house — together they died.
7 Quod cum vidissent viri Israel, qui habitabant in campestribus, fugerunt: et Saul ac filiis eius mortuis, dereliquerunt urbes suas, et huc illucque dispersi sunt: veneruntque Philisthiim, et habitaverunt in eis.
And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and dwell in them.
8 Die igitur altero detrahentes Philisthiim spolia cæsorum, invenerunt Saul, et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe.
And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,
9 Cumque spoliassent eum, et amputassent caput, armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam, ut circumferretur, et ostenderetur idolorum templis, et populis:
and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim tidings [to] their idols and the people,
10 arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano dei sui, et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
11 Hoc cum audissent viri Iabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quæ Philisthiim fecerant super Saul,
And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
12 consurrexerunt singuli virorum fortium, et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius: attuleruntque ea in Iabes, et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quæ erat in Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.
and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh, and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven days.
13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitates suas, eo quod prævaricatus sit mandatum Domini quod præceperat, et non custodierit illud: sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit,
And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not, and also for asking at a familiar spirit — to inquire, —
14 nec speraverit in Domino: propter quod interfecit eum, et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai.
and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
