扫罗和他儿子的死
（代上10．1－12）
非利士人攻打以色列。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，很多人☛“很多人”：原文是“他们”。在基利波山被杀仆倒。
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的儿子，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 Melchishua, Saul's sons.
3攻击扫罗的战事激烈，弓箭手追上他，他被弓箭手射中，伤势很重☛“他被...伤势很重”或译“他在弓箭手前浑身战抖”。。And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4扫罗吩咐拿他兵器的人说：“你拔出刀来，把我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。”但拿兵器的人不肯，因为他非常惧怕。于是扫罗拿起刀来，伏在刀上。Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上跟他一起死。And when his armourbearer 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，以及他所有的人☛七十士译本没有“以及他所有的人”。，都在那日一起死了。So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7住平原那边和约旦河那边的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，就弃城逃跑。非利士人前来住在其中。And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side 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，非利士人来剥那些被杀之人的衣服，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他们割下他的首级，剥了他的盔甲，派人到非利士人之地的四境，报信给他们庙里的偶像和众百姓。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.
10他们将扫罗的盔甲放在亚斯她录庙里，把他的尸身钉在伯．珊的城墙上。And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
11基列的雅比居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12他们所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，把扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯．珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比，在那里用火烧了，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 Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13把骸骨葬在雅比的柳树下，并且禁食七日。And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
