31:1 Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell down slain on Mount Gilboa.
非利士人攻打以色列人,以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑,在基利波山有被杀仆倒的。
31:2 And the Philistines chased Saul and his sons; and the Philistines struck down Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.

31:3 And the battle bore heavily against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was badly wounded by the archers.

31:4 Then Saul said to his armor bearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me. But his armor bearer would not, for he was very afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it.
31:5 And when his armor bearer saw that Saul was dead, he likewise fell on his sword and died with him.
拿兵器的人见扫罗已死,也伏在自己的刀上;和他一同死了。
31:6 So Saul and his three sons and his armor bearer, as well as all his men, died that day together.
这样,扫罗和他三个儿子,与拿他兵器的人,以及所有跟随他的人,都在那一天一同死亡。
31:7 And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley and who were on the other side of the Jordan saw that the men of Israel had 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 And the next day the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
次日,非利士人来剥那些被杀之人的衣服,发现扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山,
31:9 And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor; and they sent them all around, throughout the land of the Philistines in order to announce the good news in the houses of their idols and to the people.
31:10 And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth; and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯他录庙里,将他的尸身钉在伯珊的城墙上。
31:11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh- gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,
基列雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事,
31:12 All the valiant men rose up and went all night and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth- shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
