1 Chronicles 10:1-6 ▼

1 The Philistines fought against Israel, and Israel’s men fled from them. Many were killed on Mount Gilboa.

2 The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons and killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.

3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers spotted him and severely wounded him.

4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me.” But his armor-bearer would not do it because he was terrified. Then Saul took his sword and fell on it.

5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died.

6 So Saul and his three sons died—his whole house died together.
