1 Chronicles 10:1-4 ▼

1 Now the Philistines went to war against Israel, and Israel fled before them, and they fell, slain on Mount Gilboa.

2 The Philistines pressed hard after Saul and his sons. When the Philistines had struck down Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons of Saul,

3 the fury of the battle converged on Saul. Then the archers hit him, and he was severely wounded.

4 Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through; otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me.” But the armor-bearer, badly frightened, refused, so Saul took his own sword and fell upon it.
