Chapter 31 Now the Philistines fought
against Israel, and the men of Israel fled

00:05.680 --> 00:09.380
from before the Philistines, and fell down
slain in Mount Gilboa.

00:09.880 --> 00:13.080
And the Philistines followed hard upon
Saul and upon his sons.

00:13.740 --> 00:18.480
And the Philistines slew Jonathan and
Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons.

00:19.200 --> 00:23.700
And the battle went sore against Saul,
and the archers hit him, and he was sore

00:23.700 --> 00:24.700
wounded of the archers.

00:25.420 --> 00:29.880
Then said Saul unto his armor-bearer,
Draw thy sword, and thrust me through

00:29.880 --> 00:34.940
therewith, lest these uncircumcised come
and thrust me through and abuse me.

00:35.160 --> 00:37.700
But his armor-bearer would not,
for he was sore afraid.

00:38.700 --> 00:41.800
Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon
it.

00:42.340 --> 00:46.640
And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul
was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword,

00:46.740 --> 00:47.560
and died with him.

00:48.200 --> 00:52.640
So Saul died, and his three sons,
and his armor-bearer, and all his men that

00:52.640 --> 00:53.460
same day together.

00:54.160 --> 00:57.620
And when the men of Israel that were on
the other side of the valley, and they

00:57.620 --> 01:00.480
that were on the other side Jordan,
saw that the men of Israel fled,

01:00.980 --> 01:04.600
and that Saul and his sons were dead,
they forsook the cities and fled,

01:05.060 --> 01:07.000
and the Philistines came and dwelt in
them.

01:07.680 --> 01:10.920
And it came to pass on the morrow,
when the Philistines came to strip the

01:10.920 --> 01:15.020
slain, that they found Saul and his three
sons fallen in Mount Gilboa.

01:15.500 --> 01:19.780
And they cut off his head, and stripped
off his armor, and sent into the land of

01:19.780 --> 01:23.540
the Philistines round about, to publish it
in the house of their idols, and among the

01:23.540 --> 01:23.820
people.

01:24.560 --> 01:28.100
And they put his armor in the house of
Ashtaroth, and they fastened his body to

01:28.100 --> 01:29.200
the wall of Beth-shan.

01:30.100 --> 01:33.820
And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead
heard of that which the Philistines had

01:33.820 --> 01:38.340
done to Saul, all the valiant men arose,
and went all night, and took the body of

01:38.340 --> 01:42.120
Saul and the bodies of his sons from the
wall of Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh,

01:42.360 --> 01:43.120
and burnt them there.

01:43.120 --> 01:48.440
And they took their bones, and buried them
under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
