My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

1 CHRONICLES 10

1And the Philistines fought against Yisra’ĕl. And the men of Yisra’ĕl fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

2And the Philistines pursued Sha’ul and his sons, and the Philistines smote Yonathan, and Aḇinaḏaḇ, and Malkishua, sons of Sha’ul.

3And the battle was heavy on Sha’ul. And the archers hit him, and he was wounded by the archers.

4And Sha’ul said to his armour-bearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised ones come and abuse me.” But his armour-bearer would not, for he was much afraid, so Sha’ul took a sword and fell on it.

5And when his armour-bearer saw that Sha’ul was dead, he also fell on his sword and died.

6Thus Sha’ul and his three sons died, and all his house – they died together.

7And when all the men of Yisra’ĕl who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Sha’ul and his sons were dead, they forsook their cities and fled, and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

8And the next day it came to be, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Sha’ul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9And they stripped him and took his head and his armour, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news among their idols and among the people,

10and put his armour in the house of their mighty ones, and fastened his head in the house of Dag̅on.

11And all Yaḇĕsh Gil‛aḏ heard of all that the Philistines had done to Sha’ul,

12and all the brave men arose and took the body of Sha’ul and the bodies of his sons. And they brought them to Yaḇĕsh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Yaḇĕsh, and fasted seven days.

13Thus Sha’ul died for his trespass which he had trespassed against יהוה, because he did not guard the Word of יהוה, and also for asking a medium for to make inquiry,

14and did not inquire of יהוה. So He put him to death, and turned the reign over to Dawiḏ son of Yishai.
