09:031:008 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.
09:031:009 And they cut off his head, and stripped
off his armour, and
sent
into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish
it
in the house of their idols, and among the people.
09:031:010 And they put his armour in the house of
Ashtaroth: and they
fastened
his body to the wall of Bethshan.
09:031:011 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead
heard of that which
the
Philistines had done to Saul;
09:031:012 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
Bethshan,
and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
09:031:013 And they took their bones, and buried them
under a tree at
Jabesh,
and fasted seven days.
Book 10 2 Samuel
10:001:001 Now it came to pass after the death of
Saul, when David was
returned
from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had
abode
two days in Ziklag;
10:001:002 It came even to pass on the third day,
that, behold, a man
came
out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and
earth
upon his head: and so it was, when he came to
David,
that
he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
10:001:003 And David said unto him, From whence comest
thou? And he said
unto
him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
10:001:004 And David said unto him, How went the matter?
I pray thee,
tell
me. And he answered, That the people are fled
from the
battle,
and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and
Saul
and Jonathan his son are dead also.
10:001:005 And David said unto the young man that
told him, How knowest
thou
that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
10:001:006 And the young man that told him said, As
I happened by chance
upon
mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and,
lo,
the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
10:001:007 And when he looked behind him, he saw me,
and called unto me.
And
I answered, Here am I.
10:001:008 And he said unto me, Who art thou?
And I answered him, I am an
Amalekite.
10:001:009 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee,
upon me, and slay
me:
for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet
whole
in
me.
10:001:010 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because
I was sure that he
could
not live after that he was fallen: and I took
the crown
that
was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his
arm,
and
have brought them hither unto my lord.
