2.非利士人緊追掃羅和他兒子們,就殺了掃羅的兒子約拿單、亞比拿達、麥基舒亞。
The Philistines were in hot pursuit of Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab and Malki-Shua.
3.勢派甚大,掃羅被弓箭手追上,射傷甚重,
The fighting grew fierce around Saul, and when the archers overtook him, they wounded him critically.
4.就吩咐拿他兵器的人說:「你拔出刀來,將我刺死,免得那些未受割禮的人來刺我,凌辱我。」但拿兵器的人甚懼怕,不肯刺他;掃羅就自己伏在刀上死了。
Saul said to his armor-bearer, 「Draw your sword and run me through, or these uncircumcised fellows will come and run me through and abuse me.」 But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it.
5.拿兵器的人見掃羅已死,也伏在刀上死了。
When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him.
6.這樣,掃羅和他三個兒子,與拿他兵器的人,以及跟隨他的人,都一同死亡。
So Saul and his three sons and his armor-bearer and all his men died together that same day.
