13:010:001 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of
Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain
in mount Gilboa.
13:010:002 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his
sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and
Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
13:010:003 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
13:010:004 Then 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.
13:010:005 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
likewise on the sword, and died.
13:010:006 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died
together.
13:010:007 And 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.
13:010:008 And 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.
13:010:009 And 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.
13:010:010 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and
fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
