1 ¶ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down slain in Mount Gilboa.

Ora, os filisteus pelejaram contra Israel; e os homens de Israel, fugindo de diante dos filisteus, caíram mortos no monte Gilboa.

2 A nd the Philistines followed hard after Saul and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

Os filisteus perseguiram a Saul e seus filhos, e mataram Jônatas, Abinadabe e Malquisua, filhos de Saul.

3 A nd the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.

A peleja se agravou contra Saul, e os flecheiros o alcançaram, e ele foi ferido pelos flecheiros.

4 T hen said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword and thrust me through with it lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not, for he was sore afraid. Then Saul took a sword and fell upon it.

Então disse Saul: Arranca a tua espada, e atravessa-me com ela, para que que não venham estes incircuncisos e escarneçam de mim. Mas o seu escudeiro não quis, porque temia muito; então tomou Saul a sua espada, e se lançou sobre ela.

5 A nd when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword and died.

Vendo, pois, o seu escudeiro que Saul estava morto, lançou-se também sobre sua espada, e morreu.

6 S o Saul died and his three sons and all his house died together.

Assim morreram Saul e seus três filhos; morreu toda a sua casa juntamente.

7 A nd when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that, they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

Quando todos os homens de Israel que estavam no vale viram que Israel havia fugido, e que Saul eram mortos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram, e vindo os filisteus, habitaram nelas.

8 ¶ And it came to pass on the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in Mount Gilboa.

No dia seguinte, quando os filisteus vieram para despojar os mortos acharam Saul e seus filhos estirados no monte Gilboa.

9 A nd when they had stripped him, they took his head and his weapons and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols and to the people.

Então o despojaram, tomaram a sua cabeça e as suas armas, e enviaram mensageiros pela terra dos filisteus em redor, para levarem a boa nova a seus ídolos e ao povo.

10 A nd they put his weapons in the house of their gods and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

Puseram as armas dele na casa de seus deuses, e pregaram-lhe a cabeça na casa de Dagom.

11 A nd when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

Quando, pois, toda a Jabes-Gileade ouviu tudo quanto os filisteus haviam feito a Saul,

12 a ll the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh and fasted seven days.

todos os homens valentes se levantaram e, tomando o corpo de Saul e os corpos de seus filhos, trouxeram-nos: a Jabes; e sepultaram os seus ossos debaixo o terebinto em Jabes, e jejuaram sete dias.

13 S o Saul died for his rebellion which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he did not keep, and also for consulting a spiritist, to enquire of her

Assim morreu Saul por causa da sua infidelidade para com o Senhor, porque não havia guardado a palavra do Senhor; e também porque buscou a adivinhadora para a consultar,

14 a nd not enquire of the LORD; therefore, he slew him and turned the kingdom unto David, the son of Jesse.

e não buscou ao Senhor; pelo que ele o matou, e transferiu o reino a Davi, filho de Jessé.
