1 Chronicles

The first book of the Chronicles, chapter 10, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 10 Vulgate

   1 Philisthim autem pugnabant contra Israel, fugeruntque viri Israel a facie Philisthim et ceciderunt vulnerati in monte Gelboe;
   2 cumque appropinquassent Philisthaei persequentes Saul et filios eius, percusserunt Ionathan et Abinadab et Melchisua filios Saul.
   3 Et aggravatum est proelium contra Saul, inveneruntque eum sagittarii et vulneraverunt iaculis;
   4 et dixit Saul ad armigerum suum: "Evagina gladium tuum et interfice me, ne forte veniant incircumcisi isti et illudant mihi". Noluit autem armiger eius hoc facere timore perterritus. Arripuit igitur Saul ensem et irruit in eum;
   5 quod cum vidisset armiger eius, videlicet mortuum esse Saul, irruit etiam ipse in gladium suum et mortuus est.
   6 Interiit ergo Saul et tres filii eius; omnis domus illius pariter concidit.
   7 Quod cum vidissent omnes viri Israel, qui habitabant in campestribus, quod fugissent, et mortui essent Saul et filii eius, dereliquerunt urbes suas et huc illucque dispersi sunt; veneruntque Philisthim et habitaverunt in eis.
   8 Die igitur altero venerunt Philisthim, ut spoliarent interfectos, et invenerunt Saul et filios eius iacentes in monte Gelboe;
   9 cumque spoliassent eum et amputassent caput armisque nudassent, miserunt in terram suam per circuitum, ut annuntiaretur in idolorum templis et in populis.
   10 Arma autem eius consecraverunt in fano Astharoth et caput affixerunt in templo Dagon.
   11 Hoc cum audissent viri Iabes Galaad, omnia scilicet quae Philisthim fecerunt super Saul,
   12 consurrexerunt omnes viri fortes et tulerunt cadavera Saul et filiorum eius attuleruntque ea in Iabes et sepelierunt ossa eorum subter quercum, quae erat in Iabes, et ieiunaverunt septem diebus.
   13 Mortuus est ergo Saul propter iniquitatem suam, eo quod praevaricatus sit mandatum Domini, quod praeceperat, et non custodierit illud, sed insuper etiam pythonissam consuluerit
   14 nec quaesierit Dominum; propter quod et interfecit eum et transtulit regnum eius ad David filium Isai.

King James Version

   1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
   2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.
   3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
   4 Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
   5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
   6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
   7 And 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.
   8 ¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
   9 And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
   10 And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
   11 ¶ And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
   12 They arose, all the valiant men, 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.
   13 ¶ So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;
   14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
