势派甚大，扫罗被弓箭手追上，射伤甚重，
And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
拿兵器的人见扫罗已死，也伏在刀上死了。
And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
次日，非利士人来剥那被杀之人的衣服，看见扫罗和他三个儿子仆倒在基利波山，

又将扫罗的军装放在亚斯她录庙里，将他的尸身钉在伯珊的城墙上。
And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
基列雅比的居民听见非利士人向扫罗所行的事，
And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
他们中间所有的勇士就起身，走了一夜，将扫罗和他儿子的尸身从伯珊城墙上取下来，送到雅比那里，用火烧了。
All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
将他们骸骨葬在雅比的垂丝柳树下，就禁食七日。
And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
