1 The Philistines fought against Israel, and Israel’s men fled from them and were killed on Mount Gilboa.
2 The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons and killed Saul’s sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua.
3 When the battle intensified against Saul, the archers found him and severely wounded him.
4 Then Saul said to his armor-bearer, “Draw your sword and run me through with it, or these uncircumcised men will come and torture me! ” But his armor-bearer wouldn’t do it because he was terrified. Then Saul took his sword and fell on it.
5 When his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his own sword and died.
