1 Chronicles 10 (WEBP)

[1] Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
[2] The Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
[3] The battle went hard against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was distressed by reason of the archers.
[4] Then Saul said to his armor bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me.” But his armor bearer would not, for he was terrified. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.
[5] When his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
[6] So Saul died with his three sons; and all his house died together.
[7] When all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
[8] On the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
[9] They stripped him and took his head and his armor, then sent into the land of the Philistines all around to carry the news to their idols and to the people.
[10] They put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
[11] When all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
[12] all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
[13] So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against Yahweh, because of Yahweh’s word, which he didn’t keep, and also because he asked counsel of one who had a familiar spirit, to inquire,
[14] and didn’t inquire of Yahweh. Therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Chronicles 10 (YLT)

[1] 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] and the Philistines pursue after Saul, and after his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-Shua, sons of Saul.
[3] And the battle is heavy on Saul, and those shooting with the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting,
[4] 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] and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul is dead, and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth;
[6] and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house-together they died.
[7] 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] 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] 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] and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon.
[11] And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines have done to Saul,
[12] 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] 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] and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse.
