2 And the Philistines preassed sore vpon Saul & his sonnes, & slue Ionathan, & Abinadab, & Melchisua, Sauls sonnes. 3 And when the battaile went sore against Saul, the archers with bowes found him, and he was fore afrayde of the archers. 4 The said Saul vnto his harnesse bearer, Draw out thy sword, & thrust me through therewith: lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through & mocke me. And his harnesse bearer wolde not, for he was sore afrayd: Therefore Saul toke a sword, and fell vpon it. 5 And when his harnesse bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell lykewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him. 6 And so Saul dyed, & his three sonnes, and his harnesse bearer, and al his men that same day together. 1 Samuel 31:2-6, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
