旧约 -- 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel) -- 第31章
31：1 非利士人与以色列人争战。以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑，在基利波有被杀仆倒的。
Now the Philistines fought against Israel： and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines， and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
31：2 非利士人紧追扫罗和他儿子们，就杀了扫罗的儿子约拿单，亚比拿达，麦基舒亚。
And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons； and the Philistines slew Jonathan， and Abinadab， and Melchishua， Saul's sons.
31：3 势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，And the battle went sore against Saul， and the archers hit him； and he was sore wounded of the archers.
31：4 就吩咐拿他兵器的人说，你拔出刀来，将我刺死，免得那些未受割礼的人来刺我，凌辱我。但拿兵器的人甚惧怕，不肯刺他。扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。
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.
31：5 拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead， he fell likewise upon his sword， and died with him.
31：6 这样，扫罗和他三个儿子，与拿他兵器的人，以及跟随他的人，都一同死亡。
So Saul died， and his three sons， and his armourbearer， and all his men， that same day together.
31：7 住平原那边并约旦河西的以色列人，见以色列军兵逃跑，扫罗和他儿子都死了，也就弃城逃跑。非利士人便来住在其中。
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.
31：8 次日，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，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.
31：9 就割下他的首级，剥了他的军装，打发人到（或作送到）非利士地的四境，报信与他们庙里的偶像和众民。
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.
31：10 又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯珊的城墙上。
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth： and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
31：11 基列雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul；
31：12 他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了。
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 Bethshan， and came to Jabesh， and burnt them there.
31：13 将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
And they took their bones， and buried them under a tree at Jabesh， and fasted seven days.
