1 Chronicles 10:2-6 ▼

2 The Philistines stayed right on the heels of Saul and his sons. They struck down Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua.

3 The battle was thick around Saul; the archers spotted him and wounded him.

4 Saul told his armor bearer, |Draw your sword and stab me with it. Otherwise these uncircumcised people will come and torture me.| But his armor bearer refused to do it, because he was very afraid. 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 So Saul and his three sons died; his whole household died together.
