10:1

The Fall of the First Monarchy on Mount Gilboa

Now the Philistines fought against Yashar'al; and the men of Yashar'al fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
10:2
And the Philistines followed hard after Shaul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew Yonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Shaul.
10:3
And the battle went sore against Shaul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
10:4

The Death of the Unanointed King

Then said Shaul to his armor-bearer, "Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me." But his armor-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Shaul took a sword, and fell upon it.
10:5
And when his armor-bearer saw that Shaul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died.
10:6
So Shaul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.
10:7

The Collapse of the Terrestrial Borders

And when all the men of Yashar'al that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Shaul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
10:8

The Desecration of the Royal Vessels

And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Shaul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
10:9
And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.
10:10
And they put his armor in the house of their lo alahiym, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
10:11

The Loyalty of Yabesh-gilead

And when all Yabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Shaul,
10:12
They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Shaul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Yabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Yabesh, and fasted seven days.
10:13

The Judicial Ledger of the Celestial Court

So Shaul died for his transgression which he committed against 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, even against the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;
10:14

The Transfer of the Scepter

And inquired not of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto Dawid the son of Yishai.
