¹

And the Philistines fought with Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and they fall down wounded in the mountain of Gelbue.

¹

А иноплеме'нницы вое^ва'хђ тогда` на і^и^л~я и^ бњжа'ша мђжи і^и^л~еви. эT лица` и^ноплеме'нникъ. и^ па'дахђ ја%звени въ горњ` гелвђнїи”

²

And the Philistines press closely on Saul and his sons, and the Philistines smite Jonathan, and Aminadab, and Melchisa son of Saul.

²

И$ снидо'шася и^ноплеме'нницы съ саё'лоM и^ съ сн~ьми е^го, и^ ё^би'ша и^ноплемеnницы и^ѓ^а^наџа'на. и^ минода'ва, и^ меlхесђя, сн~ы саё'ля”

³

And the battle prevails against Saul, and the shooters with arrows, even the archers find him, and he was wounded under the ribs.

³

И$ ѓ^тягчи'ся бра'нь на саё'ла. и^ прїидо'ша на' ня бескопе'йницы мђжи стрњлцы`, и^ ја^зви'ша саё'ла в дебе'лое мњ'сто”

⁴

And Saul said to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword and pierce me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and pierce me through, and mock me. But his armour-bearer would not, for he feared greatly: so Saul took his sword and fell upon it.

⁴

И$ рече саёl к нося'щемђ ѓ^рђжїе иZсђни ѓ^рђжїе свое прободи` м^я иM да не пришеDше неѓ^брњзанїи сїи и^збодTђ м^я и^ порђга'ются мно'ю” и^ не хотя'ше того сътвори'ти нося'и эTрђжїе е^го ја^ко боја%шеся ѕњ'ло, и^ взя'тъ саё'лъ ѓ^рђжїе свое, и^ нападе'ся са'м# на не`”

⁵

And his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, and he fell also himself upon his sword, and died with him.

⁵

И$ ви'дњ нося'и ѓ^рђжїе е^го, ја^ко ё'мре саё'лъ, и^ паде` и^ то'и саM на ѓ^рђжїе е^го, и^ ё'мре с ни'мъ”

⁶

So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armour-bearer, in that day together.

⁶

И$ ё'мре саёl, и^ трїе сн~ове е^го, и^ нося'и ѓ^рђжїе е^го, и^ вс^и мђжи е^го въ дн~ь то'и с нимъ”

⁷

And the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those beyond Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead; and they leave their cities and flee: and the Philistines come and dwell in them.

⁷

И$ ви'дњвше мђжїе і^и^л~ьстїи, и^же ѓ^бо'нъ по'лъ и^ ё^до'лїя, і^ и^же ѓ^бо'нъ по'лъ і^ѓ^рда'на, ја^коже бњжа'ша мђжи і^и^л~ьстїи и^ ја%ко ё'мре саё'лъ и^ сн~ове е^го, и^ ѓ^ста'вльше гра'ды своя и^ бњжа'ша, и^ прїидо'ша и^ноплеме'нницы и^ пребы'ша в ни'хъ”

⁸

And it came to pass on the morrow that the Philistines come to strip the dead, and they find Saul and his three sons fallen on the mountains of Gelbue.

⁸

И$ бы'сть наё'трїе, и^ прїидо'ша и^ноплеме'нницы съвлачи'ти мрътве'цъ, и^ ѓ^брњто'ша саё'ла мрътва сђща и^ тр^и сн~ы е^го, па'дша въ горњ`, е^йже и%мя гелвђнїи”

⁹

And they turned him, and stripped off his armour, and sent it into the land of the Philistines, sending round glad tidings to their idols and to the people.

⁹

И$ сня'ша ѓ^рђжїе е^го и^ эTсњкше главђ` е^го, и^ посла'ша въ зеMлю и^ноплеме'нникъ, ѓ%крsтъ възвњща'юще и%доломъ иX, и^ лю'демъ иX”

¹⁰

And they set up his armour at the temple of Astarte, and they fastened his body on the wall of Bæthsam.

¹⁰

И положи'ша ѓ^рђжїе и^хъ ё^ васта'ръта, а^ тњ'ло и^хъ въткнђша на стњнњ веџъса'мли”

¹¹

And the inhabitants of Jabis Galaad hear what the Philistines did to Saul.

¹¹

И$ слы'шаша живђщїи въ а^ви'сњ гала'тъстњмъ, ја%же сътвори'ша саё'лови и^ноплеме'нницы”

¹²

And they rose up, even every man of might, and marched all night, and took the body of Saul and the body of Jonathan his son from the wall of Bæthsam; and they bring them to Jabis, and burn them there.

¹²

И$ въста'вше вс^е мно'жество си'лныхъ мђжъ, і^ и^до'ша вс^ю но'щь, и^ взя'ша тњло саё%лово, и^ѓ^ана'џаново сн~а е^го, съ стњны веgса'мъски, и^ принесо'ша я& въ а^виs, и^ съжъго'ша я& т^ђ”

¹³

And they take their bones, and bury them in the field that is in Jabis, and fast seven days.

¹³

И$ взя'ша ко'сти и^хъ, и^ погребо'ша я& поD кома'рою, ја%же въ а^ви'сњ, и^ пости'шася сеDмь дн~їи”
