I Samuel 31

Οι δε Φιλισταιοι επολεμουν κατα του Ισραηλ και εφυγον οι ανδρες του Ισραηλ απο προσωπου των Φιλισταιων και επεσον πεφονευμενοι εν τω ορει Γελβουε.

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

Και κατεφθασαν οι Φιλισταιοι τον Σαουλ και τους υιους αυτου και επαταξαν οι Φιλισταιοι τον Ιωναθαν και τον Αβιναδαβ και τον Μελχι−σουε, τους υιους του Σαουλ.

And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi–shua, Saul's sons.

Εβαρυνε δε η μαχη επι τον Σαουλ, και επετυχον αυτον οι ανδρες οι τοξοται και επληγωθη βαρεως υπο των τοξοτων.

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

Και ειπεν ο Σαουλ προς τον οπλοφορον αυτου, Συρε την �ομφαιαν σου και διαπερασον με δι αυτης, δια να μη ελθωσιν ουτοι οι απεριτμητοι και με διαπερασωσι και με εμπαιξωσι πλην ο οπλοφορος αυτου δεν ηθελε, διοτι εφοβειτο σφοδρα. Οθεν ελαβεν ο Σαουλ την �ομφαιαν και επεσεν επ αυτην.

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.

Και ως ειδεν ο οπλοφορος αυτου οτι απεθανεν ο Σαουλ, επεσε και αυτος επι την �ομφαιαν αυτου και απεθανε μετ αυτου.

And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.

ουτως απεθανεν ο Σαουλ και οι τρεις υιοι αυτου, και ο οπλοφορος αυτου και παντες οι ανδρες αυτου, την αυτην εκεινην ημεραν ομου.

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.

Και οι ανδρες Ισραηλ, οι περαν της κοιλαδος, και οι περαν του Ιορδανου, ιδοντες οτι εφυγον οι ανδρες Ισραηλ και οτι ο Σαουλ και οι υιοι αυτου απεθανον, κατελιπον τας πολεις και εφυγον. και ελθοντες οι Φιλισταιοι κατωκησαν εν αυταις.

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.

Και την επαυριον, οτε ηλθον οι Φιλισταιοι δια να εκδυσωσι τους πεφονευμενους, ευρηκαν τον Σαουλ και τους τρεις υιους αυτου πεπτωκοτας επι το ορος Γελβουε.

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.

Και απεκοψαν την κεφαλην αυτου και εξεδυσαν τα οπλα αυτου και απεστειλαν εις την γην των Φιλισταιων κυκλω, δια να διαδωσωσι την αγγελιαν εις τον οικον των ειδωλων αυτων και μεταξυ του λαου.

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.

Και ανεθεσαν τα οπλα αυτου εις τον οικον της Ασταρωθ, και εκρεμασαν το σωμα αυτου εις το τειχος Βαιθ−σαν.

And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth–shan.

Ακουσαντες δε περι τουτου οι κατοικοι της Ιαβεις−γαλααδ, τι εκαμον οι Φιλισταιοι εις τον Σαουλ,

And when the inhabitants of Jabesh–gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;

ηγερθησαν παντες οι δυνατοι ανδρες και ωδοιπορησαν ολην την νυκτα και ελαβον το σωμα του Σαουλ και τα σωματα των υιων αυτου απο του τειχους Βαιθ−σαν, και ηλθον εις Ιαβεις και εκαυσαν αυτα εκει

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 Beth–shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.

και ελαβον τα οστα αυτων και εθαψαν υπο το δενδρον εν Ιαβεις και ενηστευσαν επτα ημερας.

And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
