1 NOW the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and many fell slain on mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan and Jeshui and Malchishua, the sons of Saul. 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers who were skilled in shooting with bows found him; and when Saul saw them, he was sore afraid of them. 4 Then Saul said to his armourbearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, before these uncircumcised come and slay me and torment me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took his own sword and fell on it. 5 And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on his sword, and died with him. 6 So Saul died and his three sons and his armourbearer, and all his mighty men died on that day together. 1 Chronicles 10:1-6, Lamsa Bible.
