Then Saul said to his armor-bearer
In ancient Israel, an armor-bearer was more than just a servant; he was a trusted companion in battle, responsible for carrying and maintaining the king's weapons. The Hebrew word for armor-bearer, "נֹשֵׂא כֵּלִים" (nose kelim), indicates a role of significant trust and responsibility. Saul's reliance on his armor-bearer in this moment of desperation underscores the gravity of his situation and the intimacy of their relationship. Historically, this reflects the hierarchical military structures of the time, where loyalty and bravery were paramount.

Draw your sword and run me through with it
The phrase "draw your sword" (שְׁלֹף חַרְבְּךָ, shlof charbeka) is a direct command, reflecting the urgency and desperation of Saul's situation. The act of being "run through" (דָּקַר, daqar) is a violent and immediate death, which Saul seeks to avoid falling into the hands of his enemies. This request highlights Saul's fear of humiliation and torture at the hands of the Philistines, who were known for their brutality. It also reflects the ancient Near Eastern honor-shame culture, where dying by one's own hand was preferable to capture and disgrace.

or these uncircumcised men will come
The term "uncircumcised" (עֲרֵלִים, arelim) is used pejoratively to describe the Philistines, emphasizing their status as outsiders to the covenant community of Israel. Circumcision was a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants, and calling the Philistines "uncircumcised" underscores their spiritual and cultural separation from God's chosen people. This distinction is crucial in understanding the enmity between Israel and the Philistines, as it was not just a physical battle but a spiritual one as well.

and run me through and torture me
Saul's fear of being tortured (עִנּוּי, inui) by the Philistines reveals his awareness of their reputation for cruelty. The historical context of warfare in the ancient Near East often involved brutal treatment of captured enemies, including torture and public humiliation. Saul's desire to avoid such a fate reflects his concern for his dignity and the legacy he would leave behind. This moment also highlights the tragic end of Saul's reign, marked by fear and desperation rather than faith and trust in God.

But his armor-bearer was terrified and refused to do it
The armor-bearer's terror (יָרֵא, yare) is significant, as it shows his reverence for the king and possibly for the sanctity of life. His refusal to kill Saul, despite the king's command, indicates a moral or ethical dilemma, possibly rooted in the commandment "You shall not murder" (Exodus 20:13). This moment of hesitation reflects the broader theme of divine sovereignty and human agency, as the armor-bearer chooses not to take the life of the Lord's anointed, even at the king's behest.

So Saul took his own sword and fell on it
Saul's decision to take his own life by falling on his sword (נָפַל עַל חַרְבּוֹ, nafal al charbo) is a tragic conclusion to his reign. This act of suicide is a final assertion of control over his fate, yet it also signifies his ultimate despair and loss of hope. In the broader biblical narrative, Saul's death marks the end of his troubled kingship and paves the way for David's rise. Theologically, it serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of faithfulness to God's commands. Saul's tragic end invites reflection on the nature of leadership, the dangers of pride, and the need for reliance on God.

(4) His armourbearer.--Jewish tradition tells us that this faithful armourbearer was Doeg, the Edomite, and that the sword which Saul took apparently from the hand of the armourbearer was the sword with which Doeg had massacred the priests at Gibeon and at Nob.

Lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me.--"Even in Saul's dying speech there is something of that religious formalism which marked his character after his fall from God, and which is a striking sign of spiritual blindness. He censures the Philistines as 'uncircumcised.'"--Wordsworth.

Saul had a strong consciousness of the sacredness of his person as the Lord's anointed; as it has been well said of him, no descendant of a long line of so-styled Christian or Catholic sovereigns has held a loftier claim of personal inviolability.

And abuse me.--He remembered how these same Philistines in former years had treated the hero Samson when he fell into their hands.

His armourbearer would not.--Love and devotion to his master we can well imagine stayed his hand from carrying out his fallen master's last terrible command. If the armourbearer--as the Jewish tradition above referred to asserts--was indeed Doeg the Edomite, the two, the king and his confidential officer, had been fast friends for years. Some dread of the after consequences, too, may have weighed with the royal armour-bearer, as he was to a certain extent responsible for the king's life. What possibly he dreaded actually came to pass in the case of the Amalekite who told David that he was the one who inflicted the fatal stroke when the king was dying; as a guerdon for his act, David had him at once put to death for having put forth his hand to destroy the Lord's anointed.

A sword.--It was a heavy weapon, a war sword, answering to the great epee d'armes of the Middle Ages. This he took from the reluctant hands of his faithful follower, and placing the hilt firmly on the ground, he threw the weight of his body on the point.

In 2Samuel 1:6-10 we have another account of the death. There an Amalekite bearing the royal insignia of the late king, the crown royal and the well-known bracelet of Saul, comes to David at Ziklag after the fatal fight, and recounts how, finding the king leaning on his spear--possibly, as Bunsen supposes, "lying on the ground propping his weary head with the nervously-clutched spear," exhausted and seized with "cramp" (this is the Rabbinical translation of the word rendered "anguish"), at his urgent request, slew him. Most commentators--for instance, Kiel, Lange, Bishop Hervey, &c.--regard the Amalekite's story as an invention framed to extract a rich gift from David, who, the savage Arab thought, would be rejoiced to hear of his great enemy's fall. If this be so, then we must suppose that the Amalekite wandering over the field of battle strewn with the slain on the night which succeeded the battle, came upon the body of Saul, and, attracted by the glitter of the golden ornaments, stripped off the precious insignia, and hastened with his lying story to David. Ewald, however, sees no reason to doubt the trustworthiness of the Amalekite's story; in fact, the two accounts may well be harmonised. Stanley graphically paints the scene after he had fallen on his sword, and his faithful armourbearer had in despairing sorrow killed himself also. "His armourbearer lies dead beside him; on his head the royal crown, on his arm the royal bracelet; . . . the huge spear is still in his hand; he is leaning peacefully on it. He has received his death-blow either from the enemy (1Samuel 31:3), or from his own sword (1Samuel 31:4). The dizziness and darkness of death is upon him. At that moment a wild Amalekite, lured probably to the field by the hope of spoil, came up and finished the work which the arrows of the Philistines and the sword of Saul himself had all but accomplished."--Jewish Church, Lect. 21. The words of the next verse (5) do not contradict this possible explanation. The armourbearer, seeing the king pierced with the arrows and then falling on his own sword, may well have imagined his master dead, and so put an end to his own life. But Saul, though mortally wounded, may have rallied again for a brief space; in that brief space the Amalekite may have come up and finished the bloody work; then, after the king was dead, he probably stripped the royal insignia from the lifeless corpse. . . .
