1 Samyèl 31
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Moun Filisti yo leve yon sèl batay ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou mòn Gilboa. Anpil nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mouri, rès yo te kouri met deyò. 2 Moun Filisti yo rive sou Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo. Yo touye Jonatan, Abinadad ak Malchichwa frèt. 3 Batay la te mangonmen kote Sayil te ye a. Mesye ki t'ap voye flèch nan banza yo te konmanse ap vize sou li. Lè li wè sa, li pran tranble. 4 Li rele gad ki t'ap pote zam li yo, li di l' konsa: -Rale nepe ou, touye m' pou bann moun sa yo ki pa sèvi Bondye pa gen tan rive sou mwen pou se yo ki touye m', lèfini pou yo pase m' nan betiz. Men gad kò a pa t' vle paske li te pè anpil. Lè sa a, Sayil pran nepe a, li vire l' tèt anba, li lage kò l' sou li. 5 Lè gad kò a wè Sayil mouri, li fè menm bagay la tou, li lage kò l' sou nepe li a. Li mouri ansanm avèk Sayil. 6 Se konsa, ni Sayil, ni twa pitit gason l' yo, ni gad kò a te mouri. Jou sa a, tout mesye Sayil yo te mouri. 7 Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te rete lòt bò Fon Jizreyèl la ak lòt bò larivyè Jouden wè sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo kouri mèt deyò epi Sayil ak pitit gason l' yo mouri, yo leve kite lavil kote yo te rete yo, yo mete deyò tou. Moun Filisti yo vini, yo pran lavil yo pou yo. 8 Nan denmen apre batay la, moun Filisti yo tounen pou pran zam ki te sou kadav sòlda mouri yo, yo jwenn kadav Sayil ak kadav twa pitit gason l' yo kouche atè sou mòn Gilboa a. 9 Yo koupe tèt Sayil, yo pran tout zam li yo. Lèfini, yo voye gaye bon nouvèl sa a nan tout peyi Filisti a, nan tanp zidòl yo ak nan zòrèy tout pèp la. 10 Yo mete zam Sayil yo nan tanp Astate, zidòl yo a. Epi yo pran rès kò a, yo kloure l' sou miray lavil Bèt Chean an. 11 Lè moun lavil Jabès yo, nan peyi Galarad, vin konnen sa moun Filisti yo te fè Sayil, 12 tout mesye ki te brave danje yo leve, yo mache tout lannwit jouk yo rive lavil Bèt Chean, yo desann kadav Sayil la ak kadav pitit gason l' yo ki te kloure sou miray lavil la, yo tounen ak yo lavil Jabès, kote yo boule yo. 13 Lèfini, yo pran zosman yo, yo antere yo anba pye tonmaren ki nan lavil Jabès la. Apre sa, yo pase sèt jou san manje.

1 Samyèl 31:1
1Sa 31:1-7. Saul Having Lost His Army at Gilboa, and His Sons Being Slain, He and His Armor-bearer Kill Themselves.
1. Now the Philistines fought against Israel--In a regular engagement, in which the two armies met (1Sa 28:1-4), the Israelites were forced to give way, being annoyed by the arrows of the enemy, which, destroying them at a distance before they came to close combat, threw them into panic and disorder. Taking advantage of the heights of Mount Gilboa, [the Israelites] attempted to rally, but in vain. Saul and his sons fought like heroes; but the onset of the Philistines being at length mainly directed against the quarter where they were, Jonathan and two brothers, Abinadab or Ishui (1Sa 14:49) and Melchishua, overpowered by numbers, were killed on the spot.
1 Samyèl 31:3-5
3-5. the battle went sore against Saul, &c.--He seems to have bravely maintained his ground for some time longer; but exhausted with fatigue and loss of blood, and dreading that if he fell alive into the enemy's hands, they would insolently maltreat him (Jos 8:29; 10:24; Jud 8:21), he requested his armor bearer to despatch him. However, that officer refused to do so. Saul then falling on the point of his sword killed himself; and the armor bearer, who, according to Jewish writers, was Doeg, following the example of his master, put an end to his life also. They died by one and the same sword--the very weapon with which they had massacred the Lord's servants at Nob.
1 Samyèl 31:6
6. So Saul died--(see on 1Ch 10:13; Ho 13:11).
and his three sons--The influence of a directing Providence is evidently to be traced in permitting the death of Saul's three eldest and most energetic sons, particularly that of Jonathan, for whom, had he survived his father, a strong party would undoubtedly have risen and thus obstructed the path of David to the throne.
and all his men, that same day together--his servants or bodyguard (1Ch 10:6).
1 Samyèl 31:7
7. the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley--probably the valley of Jezreel--the largest and southernmost of the valleys that run between Little Hermon and the ridges of the Gilboa range direct into the Jordan valley. It was very natural for the people in the towns and villages there to take fright and flee, for had they waited the arrival of the victors, they must, according to the war usages of the time, have been deprived either of their liberty or their lives.
1Sa 31:8-10. The Philistines Triumph over Their Dead Bodies.
1 Samyèl 31:8-9
8-9. on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen--On discovering the corpses of the slaughtered princes on the battlefield, the enemy reserved them for special indignities. They consecrated the armor of the king and his sons to the temple of Ashtaroth fastened their bodies on the temple of Shen, while they fixed the royal heads ignominiously in the temple of Dagon (1Ch 10:10); thus dividing the glory among their several deities.
1 Samyèl 31:10
10. to the wall--(2Sa 21:12)--"the street" of Beth-shan. The street was called from the temple which stood in it. And they had to go along it to the wall of the city (see Jos 17:11).
1Sa 31:11-13. The Men of Jabesh-gilead Recover the Bodies and Bury Them at Jabesh.
1 Samyèl 31:11-13
11-13. the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the Philistines had done--Mindful of the important and timely services Saul had rendered them, they gratefully and heroically resolved not to suffer such indignities to be inflicted on the remains of the royal family.
