1 Chronicles 10:2-6 ▼

2 The Philistines followed after Saul and after his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, Saul's sons.

3 The heaviest fighting was against Saul, and when the archers who were shooting located Saul, he was gravely wounded by them.

4 Saul ordered his armor bearer, |Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised people will come and abuse me.| But his armor bearer did not want to do it because he was very frightened, so Saul took the sword and fell on it.

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

6 Therefore Saul, his three sons, and all his entire household died together.
