1The Philistines were throwing down with Israel, and the dudes from Israel dipped hard, getting wrecked on Mount Gilboa.

2The Philistines chased Saul and his fam, and they took out Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.

3The battle was rough for Saul, and the archers got him, leaving him wounded.

4Saul told his armor-bearer, "Yo, stab me with your sword so these uncircumcised don’t clown on me." But the armor-bearer was shook, so Saul just went for it and fell on his own sword.

5When the armor-bearer saw Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword and was done for.

6So Saul and his three sons, plus his whole crew, all went out together.

7When the guys in Israel saw they were bailing and that Saul and his sons were gone, they ditched their cities and bounced; the Philistines rolled in and took over.

8The next day, when the Philistines came to loot the fallen, they found Saul and his sons down on Mount Gilboa.

9After stripping him, they took his head and armor, sending it all around Philistine land to show off to their idols and the people.

10They put his armor in their god's crib and hung his head in Dagon's temple.

11When all of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines did to Saul,

12The brave homies rose up, took Saul and his sons' bodies, and brought them to Jabesh, buried their bones under the oak, and fasted for a week.

13Saul bit the dust for his mess-ups against the Lord, not keeping the Lord's word, and for hitting up a medium for advice;

14He didn’t ask the Lord, so the Lord took him out and gave the kingdom to David, Jesse's son.

1Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

2And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi–shua, the sons of Saul.

3And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

4Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.

5And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.

6So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

7And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

8And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.

10And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

11And when all Jabesh–gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

12They arose, all the valiant men, 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.

13So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

14And enquired not of the Lord: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
