I Livro de Samuel 31

SAGRADA BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Entretanto, os filisteus atacaram Israel, e os israelitas fugiram diante deles, caindo feridos de morte no monte de Gelboé.	1 Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
2 Os filisteus investiram contra Saul e seus filhos, matando Jônatas, Abinadab e Melquisua, filhos de Saul.	2 And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.
3 A violência do combate concentrou-se contra Saul. Os arqueiros descobriram-no e ele foi ferido no ventre.	3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
4 Disse ao seu escudeiro: Tira a tua espada e traspassa-me, para que não o venham fazer esses incircuncisos, ultrajando-me! Mas o escudeiro não o quis fazer, porque se apoderou dele um grande terror. Então tomou Saul a sua espada e jogou-se sobre ela.	4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
5 O escudeiro, vendo que Saul estava morto, arremessou-se também ele sobre a sua espada e morreu com ele.	5 And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
6 Assim, morreram naquele mesmo dia, Saul e seus três filhos, seu escudeiro e todos os seus homens.	6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 Os israelitas que moravam além do vale e além do Jordão, vendo a derrota do exército de Israel e a morte de Saul com seus filhos, abandonaram as suas cidades e fugiram; e os filisteus vieram e estabeleceram-se nelas.	7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 No dia seguinte vieram os filisteus para despojar os cadáveres e encontraram Saul e seus três filhos caídos no monte Gelboé.	8 And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 Cortaram-lhe a cabeça, despojaram-no de suas armas, e as enviaram por toda a terra dos filisteus, para que se publicasse essa boa nova nos templos de seus ídolos e entre o povo.	9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 Puseram as armas de Saul no templo de Astarte e suspenderam o seu cadáver nos muros de Betsã.	10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.
11 Quando os habitantes de Jabes em Galaad souberam do que os filisteus tinham feito a Saul,	11 And when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 puseram-se a caminho os mais valentes dentre eles, e andaram toda a noite. Tiraram das muralhas de Betsã os cadáveres de Saul e de seus filhos, e voltaram a Jabes, onde os queimaram.	12 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 Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 Tomaram os ossos e os enterraram debaixo da tamareira, em Jabes. Depois disso jejuaram sete dias.	13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
