The Tragic End of Saul and His Sons
1 Now athe Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount bGilboa.
2 Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed aJonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.
3 aThe battle became fierce against Saul. The archers1 hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.
4 aThen Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest bthese uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and1 abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, cfor he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and dfell on it.
5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.
6 So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.
