1 Samuel 31:1-3 ▼

1 The Philistines fought against Israel, and the army of Israel fled before the Philistines. They fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

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

3 The heaviest fighting was directed toward Saul, and when the bowmen who were shooting located Saul, he was severely wounded by them.
