1 Samuel 31:2-6 ▼

2 and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the Philistines strike Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.

3 And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find him—men with bow—and he is greatly pained by the archers;

4 and Saul says to the bearer of his weapons, “Draw your sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come—these uncircumcised—and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on me”; and the bearer of his weapons has not been willing, for he is greatly afraid, and Saul takes the sword, and falls on it.

5 And the bearer of his weapons sees that Saul [is] dead, and he falls—he also—on his sword, and dies with him;

6 and Saul dies, and three of his sons, and the bearer of his weapons, also all his men, together on that day.
