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 in 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。
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
3 势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
And the battle was severe against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was severely wounded by 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 said Saul to his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised should come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was exceedingly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon 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, and his three sons, and his armor-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。
And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side of 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.
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，
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.
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；
And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in] the house of their idols, and among 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。
And they put his armor in the house of 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，
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which 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, and went all night, and took the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and 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。
And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
