1 When the Philistines fought against Israel, the men of Israel fled from the Philistines and were killed in battle on Mount Gilboa. 2 The Philistines caught up to Saul and his sons. They killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul's sons. 3 The heaviest fighting was against Saul. When the archers got him in their range, he was wounded by them. 4 Saul told his armorbearer, |Draw your sword! Stab me, or these godless men will come and make fun of me.| But his armorbearer refused because he was terrified. So Saul took the sword and fell on it. 5 When the armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on the sword and died. 1 Chronicles 10:1-5, God's Word Translation.
