2 And the Philistines fell upon Saul, and upon his sons, and they slew Jonathan, and Abinadab and Melchisua the sons of Saul. 3 And the whole weight of the battle was turned upon Saul: and the archers overtook him, and he was grievously wounded by the archers. 4 Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 5 And when his armourbearer saw this, to wit, that Saul was dead, he also fell upon his sword and died with him. 6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men that same day together. 1 Samuel 31:2-6, Douay-Rheims Bible.
