And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

And the next day the Philistines taking away the spoils of them that were slain, found Saul and his sons lying on mount Gelboe.

And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa,

Now the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his sons dead in Mount Gilboa.

Then, on the next day, when the Philistines were taking away the spoils of the slain, they found Saul and his sons, lying on mount Gilboa.

On the following day the Philistines, in their search among the fallen, found and plundered the bodies of Saul and of his sons, and sent the head and the armour of Saul round about the land of the Philistines, to proclaim the news of their victory to their people and their gods. That for this purpose they cut off Saul's head from the trunk, is, as being a matter of course, not specially mentioned. In regard to the other discrepancies between the two texts, both in 1-Chronicles 10:8-10 and in the account of the burial of Saul and of his sons by valiant men of Jabesh, 1-Chronicles 10:11, 1-Chronicles 10:12, cf. the commentary on 1-Samuel 31:8-13. In the reflection on Saul's death, 1-Chronicles 10:13 and 1-Chronicles 10:14, a double transgression against the Lord on Saul's part is mentioned: first, the מעל (on the meaning of this word, vide on Leviticus 5:15) of not observing the word of Jahve, which refers to the transgression of the divine command made known to him by the prophet Samuel, 1-Samuel 13:8. (cf. with 1-Chronicles 10:8), and 1-Samuel 15:2-3, 1-Samuel 15:11, cf. 1-Samuel 28:18; and second, his inquiring of the אוב, the summoner of the dead (vide on Leviticus 19:31), לדרושׁ, i.e., to receive an oracle (cf. in reference to both word and thing, 1-Samuel 28:7).
