The death of King Shaul and his sons

10:1 The death of King Shaul and his sons

Full kingdom

(1 Sam. 31:1-13)

10Now the Philistines fought against Yisrael and the Israeli men fled away from the Philistines, and many were killed on Mt. Gilboa. 2Then the Philistines pursued after Shaul and after his sons, and they killed his sons Yonatan, Avinadav, and Malki-Shua. 3The battle against Shaul was very fierce, but then the archers spotted him and wounded him. 4Then Shaul said to his equipment carrier, “Draw your sword and pierce me with it, so those uncircumcised Philistines can’t come here and torture me.” But his equipment carrier was very scared and wasn’t willing to do it, so Shaul took his sword and fell onto it. 5Then his equipment carrier, seeing that King Shaul had died, he himself fell on his sword and died. 6So Shaul and his three sons died, thus ending his family’s rule. 7When all the Israelis living in the valley saw that the army had fled, and that Shaul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities and fled. Then the Philistines came, and they lived in them instead.

8The next day when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found the bodies of Shaul and his sons on Mt. Gilboa. 9They stripped him and carried away his head and his armour. Then they sent messengers all around the Philistine regions to take the news to their idols and the people. 10They put his armour in the temple of their gods, and they hung his head in their god Dagon’s temple. 11When everyone who lived back in Yavesh in the Gilead region heard about everything that the Philistines had done to Shaul, 12all the strong men took action and retrieved the corpses of Shaul and his sons, and brought them back to Yavesh. Then they buried them under the large tree in Yavesh, and they fasted seven days. 13So Shaul died because of his disobedience—when he was unfaithful to Yahweh by not following Yahweh’s instructions, and also because he consulted medium for guidance[ref] 14instead of requesting Yahweh’s advice. So Yahweh killed him and handed the kingdom over to Yishay’s son David.
