1 Samuel 31 — parallel

31:1

Καὶ οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐπολέμουν ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ Ισραὴλ ἐκ προσώπου τῶν ἀλλοφύλων καὶ πίπτουσιν τραυματίαι ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Γελβοῦε.

Now the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled before them, and many fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

31:2

καὶ συνάπτουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι τῷ Σαοὐλ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τύπτουσιν ἀλλόφυλοι τὸν Ἰωναθὰν καὶ τὸν Ἰωναδὰβ καὶ τὸν Μελχεισὰ υἱὸν Σαούλ.

The Philistines hotly pursued Saul and his sons, and they killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.

31:3

καὶ βαρύνεται ὁ πόλεμος ἐπὶ καὶ εὑρίσκουσιν αὐτὸν οἱ ἀκοντισταί, ἄνδρες τοξόται, καὶ ἐτραυματίσθη εἰς τὰ ὑποχόνδρια.

When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers overtook him and wounded him critically.

31:4

καὶ εἶπεν Σαοὺλ πρὸς τὸν αἴροντα τὰ σκεύη Σπάσαι τὴν ῥομφαίαν σου καὶ ἀποκέντησον με ἐν αὐτῇ, μὴ ἔλθωσιν οἱ ἀπερίτμητοι οὗτοι καὶ ἀποκεντήσωσίν με καὶ ἐμπαίξωσίν μοι. καὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐφοβήθη σφόδρα· καὶ ἔλαβεν Σαοὐλ τὴν ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ’ αὐτήν.

Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and run me through and torture me!” But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it.

31:5

καὶ εἶδεν αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Σαούλ, καὶ ἐπέπεσεν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανεν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his own sword and died with him.

31:6

καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ αἴρων τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ κατὰ τὸ αὐτό.

So Saul, his three sons, his armor-bearer, and all his men died together that same day.

31:7

καὶ εἶδον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραὴλ οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν κοιλάδος καὶ οἱ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ὄτι ἔφυγον οἱ ἄνδρες Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Σαοὺλ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταλείπουσιν τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν καὶ φεύγουσιν· καὶ ἔρχονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι καὶ κατοικοῦσιν ἐν αὐταῖς.

When the Israelites along the valley and those on the other side of the Jordan saw that the army of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they abandoned their cities and ran away. So the Philistines came and occupied their cities.

31:8

Καὶ ἐγενήθη τῆ ἐπαύριον,ἔρχονται οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι ἐκδιδύσκειν τοὺς νεκρούς· καὶ εὑρίσκουσιν Σαοὐλ καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ πεπτωκότας ἐπὶ τὰ δρῆ Γελβοῦε.

The next day, when the Philistines came to strip the dead, they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

31:9

καὶ ἀποστρέφουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξέδυσαν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν αὐτὰ εἰς γῆν ἀλλοφύλων κύκλῳ, εὐαγγελίζοντες τοῖς εἰδώλοις αὐτῶν καὶ τῷ λαῷ·

They cut off Saul’s head, stripped off his armor, and sent messengers throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among their people.

31:10

καὶ ἀνέθηκαν τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ καὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ κατέπηξαν ἐν τῷ τείχει Βαιθέμ.

They put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths and hung his body on the wall of Beth-shan.

31:11

καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἰαβεὶς τῆς Γαλαασείτιδος ἃ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἀλλόφυλοι τῷ

When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

31:12

καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἀνέστησαν πᾶς ἀνὴρ δυνάμεως καὶ ὅλην τὴν νύκτα, καὶ ἔλαβον τὸ σῶμα Σαοὐλ κα τὸ σῶμα Ἴ’ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τείχους Βαιθσάμ, καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἰαβεὶς καὶ κατακαίουσιν αὐτοὺς ἐκεὶ.

all their men of valor set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. When they arrived at Jabesh, they burned the bodies there.

31:13

καὶ λαμβάνουσιν τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν κα θάπτουσιν ὑπὸ τὴν ἄρουραν τὴν ἰαβεὶς, καὶ νηστεύουσιν ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας. καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Σαοὐλ, καὶ Δαυεὶδ ἀνέστρεψεν τύπτων τὸν Ἀμαλήκ· καὶ ἐκάθισεν Δαυεὶδ ἐν Σεκελὰκ ἡμέρας δύο.

Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree in Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
