8. The Philistines triumph over Saul
11. The kindness of Jabesh Gilead toward Saul and his sons
13. Saul's sin for which the kingdom was transferred from him to David














(5) He fell likewise on the sword.--Sam., "his sword," i.e., the sword of the armour-bearer.

And died.--Samuel adds "with him," which seems to be omitted here for brevity, which may be the reason of other similar omissions. Loyalty to his chief, and perhaps dread of the foe, were the armour-bearer's motives.

Verse 5. - And died. The parallel (1 Samuel 31:5) adds "with him."
