1Now the P’lishtim [Immigrants] fought against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] fled from before the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and fell down slain in mount Gilboa [swollen heap]. 2And the P’lishtim [Immigrants] followed hard after Sha’ul [desired], and after his sons; and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] killed Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given], and Avinadav [my father is noble], and Malkishua [my king is wealth], the sons of Sha’ul [desired]. 3And the battle went sore against Sha’ul [desired], and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers. 4Then said Sha’ul [desired] to his armourbearer, Draw yourⁱ sword, and thrust me through with that; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Sha’ul [desired] took a sword, and fell upon it. 5And when his armourbearer saw that Sha’ul [desired] was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. 6So Sha’ul [desired] died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

7And when all the men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that [were] in the valley saw that they fled, and that Sha’ul [desired] and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came and dwelt in them.

8And it came to pass on the morrow, when the P’lishtim [Immigrants] came to strip the slain, that they found Sha’ul [desired] and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa [swollen heap]. 9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] 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 Yavesh-Gil’ad [Dry Hill of Testimony] heard all that the P’lishtim [Immigrants] had done to Sha’ul [desired], 12They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Sha’ul [desired], and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yavesh [dry], and buried their bones under the oak in Yavesh [dry], and fasted seven days.

13So Sha’ul [desired] died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] against the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): therefore he killed him, and turned the kingdom unto David [beloved] the son of Yishai [I possess].
