King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now the Philistines[H6430] fought[H3898] against Israel:[H3478] and the men[H376] of Israel[H3478] fled[H5127] from before[H4480] [H6440] the Philistines,[H6430] and fell down[H5307] slain[H2491] in mount[H2022] Gilboa.[H1533]

2. And the Philistines[H6430] followed hard upon[H1692] [H853] Saul[H7586] and upon his sons;[H1121] and the Philistines[H6430] slew[H5221] [H853] Jonathan,[H3083] and Abinadab,[H41] and Malchi-shua,[H4444] Saul's[H7586] sons.[H1121]

3. And the battle[H4421] went sore[H3513] against[H413] Saul,[H7586] and the archers[H3384] [H376] hit[H4672] him; and he was sore[H3966] wounded[H2342] of the archers.[H4480] [H3384]

4. Then said[H559] Saul[H7586] unto his armorbearer,[H5375] [H3627] Draw[H8025] thy sword,[H2719] and thrust me through[H1856] therewith; lest[H6435] these[H428] uncircumcised[H6189] come[H935] and thrust me through,[H1856] and abuse[H5953] me. But his armorbearer[H5375] [H3627] would[H14] not;[H3808] for[H3588] he was sore[H3966] afraid.[H3372] Therefore Saul[H7586] took[H3947] [H853] a sword,[H2719] and fell[H5307] upon[H5921] it.

5. And when his armorbearer[H5375] [H3627] saw[H7200] that[H3588] Saul[H7586] was dead,[H4191] he[H1931] fell[H5307] likewise[H1571] upon[H5921] his sword,[H2719] and died[H4191] with[H5973] him.

6. So Saul[H7586] died,[H4191] and his three[H7969] sons,[H1121] and his armorbearer,[H5375] [H3627] and[H1571] all[H3605] his men,[H376] that same[H1931] day[H3117] together.[H3162]

7. And when the men[H376] of Israel[H3478] that[H834] were on the other side[H5676] of the valley,[H6010] and they that[H834] were on the other side[H5676] Jordan,[H3383] saw[H7200] that[H3588] the men[H376] of Israel[H3478] fled,[H5127] and that[H3588] Saul[H7586] and his sons[H1121] were dead,[H4191] they forsook[H5800] [H853] the cities,[H5892] and fled;[H5127] and the Philistines[H6430] came[H935] and dwelt[H3427] in them.[H2004]

8. And it came to pass[H1961] on the morrow,[H4480] [H4283] when the Philistines[H6430] came[H935] to strip[H6584] [H853] the slain,[H2491] that they found[H4672] [H853] Saul[H7586] and his three[H7969] sons[H1121] fallen[H5307] in mount[H2022] Gilboa.[H1533]

9. And they cut off[H3772] [H853] his head,[H7218] and stripped off[H6584] [H853] his armor,[H3627] and sent[H7971] into the land[H776] of the Philistines[H6430] round about,[H5439] to publish[H1319] it in the house[H1004] of their idols,[H6091] and among[H854] the people.[H5971]

10. And they put[H7760] [H853] his armor[H3627] in the house[H1004] of Ashtaroth:[H6252] and they fastened[H8628] his body[H1472] to the wall[H2346] of Beth-shan.[H1052]

11. And when the inhabitants[H3427] of Jabesh-gilead[H3003] [H1568] heard[H8085] [H413] [H853] of that which[H834] the Philistines[H6430] had done[H6213] to Saul;[H7586]

12. All[H3605] the valiant[H2428] men[H376] arose,[H6965] and went[H1980] all[H3605] night,[H3915] and took[H3947] [H853] the body[H1472] of Saul[H7586] and the bodies[H1472] of his sons[H1121] from the wall[H4480] [H2346] of Beth-shan,[H1052] and came[H935] to Jabesh,[H3003] and burnt[H8313] them there.[H8033]

13. And they took[H3947] [H853] their bones,[H6106] and buried[H6912] them under[H8478] a tree[H815] at Jabesh,[H3003] and fasted[H6684] seven[H7651] days.[H3117]
