1 Samuel 31
1. Saul, having lost his army, and his sons slain,
4. he and his armor bearer kill themselves.
7. The Philistines possess the forsaken towns of the Israelites
8. They triumph over the dead bodies
11. They of Jabesh Gilead recovering the dead bodies by night,
12. burn them at Jabesh,
13. and mournfully bury their bodies.














(6) And all his men.--We must not interpret this statement quite literally; 1Chronicles 10:6 explains it by "all his house." Ishbosheth, his son, for instance, and Abner, the captain of the host, we know were not among the slain on that fatal day. The meaning is that all his "fideles," his personal staff, as we should say, with his three sons fell fighting round him. The lines of the chivalrous Scottish ballad writer who with rare skill describes the devoted followers of King James V. falling round him at Flodden, well paints what took place on the stricken field of Gilboa round the hero king Saul:--

"No one failed him! He is keeping

Royal state and semblance still,

Knight and noble lie around him,

Cold, on Flodden's fatal hill.

"Of the brave and gallant-hearted

Whom you sent with prayers away,

Not a single man departed

From his monarch yesterday." AYTOUN.
